Or...when a group of like thirty Spaniards defeated both the Aztec and Inca empires. If you're into American history, I'm pretty certaint there are a few Civil/Revolutionary War battles in ...

Yeah, there really is no point to Harry Potter without Sirius- and the way she did it wasn't very good, either. It was sort of an Afterthought Death...something he totally ...

Why would you shave your head? Kind of silly, really... -David *pulls out revolver* No, and if you so much as nick one hair , there'll be dire consequences. - ...

Sounds like a murder mystery, or an extremely embellished home cleaning guide. I'd probably need a cool cover and an interesting synopsis to read it, though- personally, I'm not really ...

Ooh, I love those kinds of characters- they do take quite a long time to find, though, don't they? To think it all started with a co-write...something most of us ...

I second [i]The Perks of Being a Wallflower[/b]. I'd consider that 'classic', but it falls into the category of Good Things That Very Few People Read. Bloody Jack - L.A. ...

Ah, such is the life of...er, me, Shriekness. That is, trying to make certain scenes- especially the ones that are supposed to be a lot more frank and sober- not ...

I burned my elbow in one, once (please, don't ask how this happened). Not a bad burn, but it hurt like absolute Hell and I couldn't bend it for months. ...

I had a striking revelation about commas in the middle of Health class today, after an unfortunate incident. Serves me right, of course, because I'm usually not paying attention, but ...

Urgh, in that regard...I haven't got much. Just a few characters whose perspective I thought would be interesting: a kid at Thereseinstadt, an HJ member whose paternal grandmother was Jewish- ...

Ooh, thanks, WD! A double-critique! :wink: That's a good point about Henry...reading through it again, it seems like foreshadowing, even though it's not- or, at least, I haven't plotted such ...
