Yeah, didn't your dad tell you about the double ungood days of the 80s? *NM* IndigoAjah Send a noteboard - 21/09/2009 01:52:46 AM
Does the Devil ever struggle to be good again, or if so is he not a devil?

What difference does it make after all? Anonymity in the world of men is better than fame in heaven, for what's heaven? What's Earth? All in the mind.

Ever notice how in fantasy books the smaller army always wins? Murtach74 - 20/09/2009 01:01:18 PM 1493 Views

Well, usually the bigger army are the invaders. Defence tends to have an edge AgentOrange - 20/09/2009 04:38:45 PM 1134 Views
It's an essential plot device Tom - 20/09/2009 04:41:04 PM 1137 Views
Yeah but... Murtach74 - 20/09/2009 07:38:36 PM 1111 Views
I don't quite agree Tom - 21/09/2009 01:22:45 AM 1065 Views
I'm sitting here trying to think if I've read any books like that... Brian - 21/09/2009 01:40:08 AM 1015 Views
Fail. Seriana Sedai - 21/09/2009 04:43:24 AM 1195 Views
Agreed. Tom - 21/09/2009 04:59:39 AM 1116 Views
Well there are plenty of authors not in their right minds Brian - 21/09/2009 05:49:22 PM 1048 Views
True. Seriana Sedai - 21/09/2009 06:50:43 PM 1077 Views
Hrmm...guess Miéville failed to follow the script then *NM* Larry - 20/09/2009 07:48:29 PM 416 Views
and a lot of others. But there's a rumour somewhere that it's not the size that matters... *NM* jh - 20/09/2009 07:53:41 PM 411 Views
It's still a valid point, even if one author doesn't "follow the script." *NM* Joker - 25/09/2009 12:34:48 AM 471 Views

That, and... Napoleon62 - 20/09/2009 09:08:48 PM 1117 Views
Nineteen Eighty-Four, baby! Ghavrel - 20/09/2009 10:37:05 PM 1061 Views
That is not even fantasy... Napoleon62 - 21/09/2009 12:00:48 AM 1038 Views
IT ISN'T?! *NM* Ghavrel - 21/09/2009 01:42:16 AM 434 Views
Yeah, didn't your dad tell you about the double ungood days of the 80s? *NM* IndigoAjah - 21/09/2009 01:52:46 AM 440 Views
Doubleplusungood. Ghavrel - 25/09/2009 02:09:27 AM 1042 Views
Oops, sorry. Probably a thoughtcrime to put a space in. Rebellious waste of... pixels? Space? *NM* IndigoAjah - 25/09/2009 04:26:14 PM 460 Views
I agree. 1984 is not SF-F. *NM* Joker - 25/09/2009 12:36:46 AM 455 Views
Who knew? ¯\(°O)/¯ *NM* Ghavrel - 25/09/2009 02:07:19 AM 438 Views
I... don't know what those symbols mean. *NM* Joker - 26/09/2009 07:04:13 AM 459 Views
All books should have a point, IMO. Otherwise, what's the point in reading them. IndigoAjah - 25/09/2009 04:32:43 PM 1113 Views
Nineteen Eighty-Four is unquestionably Science Fiction. *NM* Ghavrel - 26/09/2009 04:12:47 AM 487 Views
No, it's not. ScyFy does not lay claim to anything and everything that takes place... Joker - 26/09/2009 07:05:59 AM 1050 Views
It's a novel which heavily relies upon futuristic technology. How is it not Science Fiction? *NM* Ghavrel - 28/09/2009 01:43:23 AM 435 Views
Because it doesn't have lasers or time-travel in it IndigoAjah - 28/09/2009 02:15:18 AM 1051 Views
I read it years ago and I don't remember any futuristic technology except... Joker - 28/09/2009 04:16:21 AM 1109 Views
I would say that if a story uses that sort of thing, it has a science fiction element. Ghavrel - 28/09/2009 05:20:39 AM 895 Views
Wheel of Time? Werthead - 20/09/2009 11:52:36 PM 1021 Views
I have not found that to be always true IndigoAjah - 21/09/2009 12:52:00 AM 990 Views
The smaller army doesn't always win Tashmere - 21/09/2009 02:47:07 AM 1030 Views
Because you don't have to root for the huge army that's supposed to win. Seriana Sedai - 21/09/2009 04:38:22 AM 1073 Views
everybody loves an under dog *NM* random thoughts - 21/09/2009 03:51:12 PM 437 Views
Pratchett makes much of this. *NM* Camilla - 21/09/2009 04:11:04 PM 452 Views
"You can take our lives, but you can never take our freedom!" "...wrong!" *NM* Ghavrel - 21/09/2009 11:02:25 PM 394 Views
Exactly what I was going to say Floffe - 27/09/2009 02:55:02 PM 1233 Views
