I thought your review was spot on. I can’t remember being so disappointed in a series. And you’re right, to revive a “non relationship” in the 6th book was just lame. She sure knows how to write, I know I’ll let her draw me in again!

I went to a Doctor Who exhibition in England where you could get into a Dalek suit and make a Dalek voice. Was too shy to try it all on my lonesome, though. And I’d forgotten that I sent you Torchwood!

(Which reminds me that I still haven’t posted my stuff this year…)

Dearest Marie,

Thank you for writing to me on your blog. Bullying is never easy and there is no quick fix, but don’t be discouraged. Talking openly about it is the first step to changing your awful situation. You don’t mention how you are being victimized in detail but from what I can gather from your blog post, people might be calling you “Magpie Marie” or maybe even “Dr Who Fangirl” since you go in to great detail about this specific shameful attraction. Normally, I encourage people to take pride in their orientations but maybe, in your specific case, it would be better to say you enjoy TV and omit the more perverted details. Alternatively, you could seek medical help (I’m not saying you are sick) and try to overcome this deprave obsession.

Sincerely bullying,
Niklas!

Well, alright, it sucked! But next time you review you gotta pick something you love and go on about how awesome it is And it can’t be WOT.

Is me using a commanding voice more likely to make that happen? :p

It seems pretty different. And, there’s a lot RJ could have done with air but did not. I look forward to seeing how you do it!

Yeah, RJ and most modern fantasy has the “plug in” style of magic, whereas my world it is all external: they don’t “draw” anything into themselves or open their third eye or what-have-you.

Now that I think of it, what they do is more simple (I mean there aren’t any weaves or spells or things) so I’m probably just making it overly complicated because that’s what everyone else does.

Have you thought about how you can make the connection different via the magic use? There’s a difference between magic use and shamanistic approaches to elementals.

RJ’s system was scientific,
with his background in physics, which differs greatly from the magic systems that other writers use. They are all kind of similar though, so I wouldn’t worry too much.

I am your fav! Admit~

On the bright side… at least your plot is progressing, so yay.

On the not-so-bright side, you just reminded me that I have SO many writing projects hanging…
