Shannon Hale Fan Club discussion

the ability 2 learn how 2 do anything & b able 2 do it well

I would pick the ability to change form from one thing to another.

that would also b cool!!!!

OOOOHHHHH that's really hard.I like your idea coeli and jessie.they would both be cool!

I would take a bunch of my favorite books and kinda combine the magix in them. prob mostly elements.

(off subject)im glad u joined the fan club delphine!

that would be cool naomi but it might be cheating.

nopes. how can it be cheating if it's what I pick? besides, I get most of my ideas from an assortment of books. and it wouldn't just be hale's books, i would take some stuff from the hollow kingdom trilogy, and the singer of all songs books, and many others.

is The Hollow Kingdom(its a link) good?

but you would be coping them naomi. what is the hollow kingdom.

no.
The Hollow Kingdom is the first book in a trilogy, and it's really good. I really like the way goblins are portrayed. book two is Close Kin and book 3 is In the Coils of the Snake
And now you're interested Jessie! I only recommended them to you a million times during the skool year!

really? okay i will read them one day.

gah!

What?

like I said, now you'll read them. I'll never understand you.

Lol!

xD

teehee teehee

I would be able to hear people's thoughts, but only when I want to. Also, I've always wanted to be able to fly.

Oo that's good

ooh! I like that!

oh that would be really nice.

u guys hav awesome imaginations!

flying would be way fun. It would be cool to be able to speak to technology with you mind.

ooh! like in Heroes?

no i was thinking like in Sky High

...do they do that in Sky High ? hmmm... I don't remember this... (i liked the glowy guy! lolz!)

yeah they have a technopath in sky high... im not sure if she can speak to technolgy but she can control it or move it

oh! was she the 'girlfriend' that was the bad guy?

I'm pretty sure it was the bad guy.

Back in fourth? grade we had to write tall tales and mine was about a girl who could speak every language and dialect. Now one of my WIPs is about a girl who has some sort of psychic connections with photographs. The novel will probably be a mystery of some kind, but that's all I have so far. :-)

cool! though the connections w/ photos reminds me of the Charlie Bone books, the first of which is Midnight for Charlie Bone...

Yeah. My friend already told me. I've never read those, though, and she said that what I had come up with was different enough.

i read one of those & luved it...i don't think it wuz the first one...lol

Madison: Yeah. Sorry. I totally said that wrong. It is a really cool idea. xD

~peace~coeli~soccer~: lolz. nice. which one did you read?

It's not a problem. I actually looked it up on Wikipedia, and what I was thinking is different, so it's all good. :-)

thats good. so is it like she can get a feeling of the pic? like, what the mood was?

If I were to write, I would prob write very very similar to Vivian Vande Velde, though not quite the same. if you've read her books you know she's way into magic and witches and stuff, while I'm more into midevil/renaissance and fairies and ...and that sounds wrong. it makes me sound like a girly-girl. but um, anyway. xD yeah...

Charlie Bone and the Invisible Boy i think(?)
i think i also read Charlie Bone and the Hidden King (?)

Um...idk what her power is exactly. It's nothing she can control, though. I was originally thinking one thing which is definitely paranormal, but my friend suggested a different direction, which is more...mystery. It's not my priority at the moment; I have some other things I'm working on. :-)

And yes and no. If you mean fairies like Disney fairies, yeah, that is pretty girly-girl. But urban fantasy? Seelie and Unseelie Courts? That's not really girly-girl at all. Sure, most of the books seem to be more directed at girls with female protagonists and girly covers (Wicked Lovely and Wondrouss Strange for example), but there's a lot of political intrigue-y type stuff, brink-of-war situations. (Urban fantasy is my current favorite subgenre.)

As for Medieval/Renaissance...again. Most fantasy worlds are medieval-y since political and social systems as well as the lack of high-tech stuff works really well for fantasy novels. Not so much set in Renassiance-y times since it was more thought- and progress-oriented. (Not that the Middle Ages were entirely stagnant, but.) I mean, the only truly girly-girl thing about the Medieval/Renaissance that I can think of our the really pretty dresses. I adore the dresses of the English nobility, circa 1540.

But I mean, considering the state of life back then...idk. Yeah, women were expected to be a certain way, but I think right there makes it not a girly-girl subject, if that makes any sense.

Does any of that make sense?

(I'm a huge fan of history, in case you couldn't tell. :P)

Madison: lolz. thanks you made me feel much better. xD and it's not Disney faires. Tinkerbell really scares me.
that makes sense. xD

~peace~coeli~soccer~: what was it about. maybe I can figure out which one it was. xD

i'm lost. what are we talking about now?

books. kinda. we're talking about the topic.

my book would be about giant monkeys attacking the world.

Before you think i am loony. let me say i was just kidding

hey there have been plenty of weird books so i didn't mind siure i thought it was silly but you know

i agree but none that weird.

haha yeah probably not. so what would you really write a book on than?

i don't know. what about you?

Jessie. Don't go into denial now! You are loony!

so i maybe a little loony who is not a little crazy?

i don't know what power i'd write a book about... i am not very creative with like powers and stuff whenever i do write about mysterys
