Inspired by Peter Jackson For those of you eagerly awaiting the release of the movie, "The Hobbit", you may or may not be aware of director Peter Jackson's Facebook pages he set up to promote this upcoming movie; he has one for himself (Peter Jackson) and one for the movie (The Hobbit). What...

My signature doesn't seem to be showing on the first entry. Perhaps it will show on this one. Jasan

Hello, For those of you who are interested in gamebooks (E.g. Fighting Fantasy, Lone Wolf, Choose Your Own Adventure, just to name a few), I have just completed a rather complex system that can give a gamebook a difficulty rating. It has taken me many weeks to design and perfect. The...

The first time I saw FOTR, TTT and ROTK, they were all the extended versions. I then saw the theatrical version of ROTK and couldn't cope with all of the scenes that were removed. The extended versions are canon IMO. I still haven't seen the theatrical versions of the first two films (and...

I read this article on the topic a few months ago and it seemed to have a lot of good advice concerning getting noticed. How to market your book online

Hi Bill, What genre do you like to write? When I was 15, I was quite heavily into writing stories until I was 17, stopped for about 15 years and then picked it up again.

Thanks for the info, readsalot.

I concur. My own site is run under freewebs. I don't pay any direct costs to them for it and I have found it quite satisfactory. Just on that, if you are self published, how do you go about getting Amazon to sell your book? I was told by another source (not on this forum) that it was...

I believe I found the book's title - Labyrinth of Evil by James Luceno.

It is the story where King Caspian attempted to sail to the end of the world on the ship, "The Dawn Treader", and was joined by Edmund, Lucy and their painful cousin, Eustice. Jasan

The one I was thinking of, as part of the plot, was supposed to explain how the Jedi Archives had the details of Kamino wiped from them in AOTC, as George Lucas never explained how it happened and who did it in ROTS.

Welcome Sir Readslot (sorry, it's a nice rhyme with Lancelot), Have you ever read the Star Wars novel (I can't remember the name) that was set in between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. The cover has the head of General Grevious on it. If so, how did you find it? (I haven't...

After a two year break from this forum, I am back again. I am a children's gamebook author who likes to read Tolkien's Lord of the Rings (and The Hobbit) and C.S.Lewis' Narnia series. I am looking forward to the third movie in the Narnia series at the end of this year, "The Voyage of the...

I've decided to take some time off the various internet forums that I have joined and focus solely on finishing the second gamebook in my Woodland Forest Chronicles series. Once it is complete, I'll be back to chat. See you later. Jasan

Welcome Deb, What genre(s) do you like to read?

The Hobbit, J.R.R.Tolkien I don't complete many books per month as I am spending much more time writing my second book and publicising my first

If the remaining movies perform as well as the first, we should see all seven completed at some stage. I'm figuring that "Dawn Treader" will have to be made next after "Prince Caspian" due to Edmund and Lucy being part of it (and a little older) I agree with your comments about Digory as...

Of the seven books in C.S.Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia, which was your favourite? Mine would be Voyage of the Dawn Treader. I enjoyed the story being broken down into a series of mini-adventures that occurred every few chapters or so. (including the fact that the adventures themselves were...

From a writing point of view: 1) Choose your own Adventure - Book 5 - The Mystery of Chimney Rock 2) Khare: Cityport of Traps - Sorcery! - Book 2. The first one got me interested in reading gamebooks (at about age 8) The second one got me interested in writing gamebooks (at age 12/13)
