Fine, I chose Scottish/Irish.

I think this poll needs to be divided. For instance, how about one devoted to English-speaking accents and then the rest. Also, what about Spanish accents and German accents? There are over 200 nations in the world with probably 1,000 accents to choose from. Come to think of it, why not have it further divided by region?

Yes, yes! I love fantasy stories. As many well know, I'm a huge Harry Potter fan. As of late I have also gotten into L.E. Modisette, Jr. He's an awesome fantasy author indeed. It's too bad movies haven't been made of any of them, because he is awesome. The Reclude series is more about magic from within using order, chaos, or a combination of the two. As the names suggest, chaos is more or less considered evil while order is considered good, yet order is "dark" while chaos is "white". In the Spellsong Cycle, it is about the magic of music, some music being "clearsong" or that which does not manipulate the living directly, or "darksong", which means more direct manipulation of what is living or was once living. In both series, magic takes a heavy toll on the wizard, sorcerer, etc. In his books, magic is quite complex as it is based in nature itself to a certain degree, while the Harry Potter magic is basically free of nature (aside from potions) and in generally increases the life-span of the witch or wizard. Thus, when deciding to write a story with magic, there are choices. But regardless, there should be rules and limitations of some kind, whether by some form of government or the heavy price one can pay for using magic. I have a story in my head, but I do not know where to start when crafting the rules. Personally, I do not think magic in my magical universe should be life-threatening or life-shortening, but I see it being somewhat more limited than in the Harry Potter universe. Thus, it is somewhere in between. I do not think magic would be an inexhaustible force and could easily tire the user, because the magic is through the person in general. I know I need to do some research on magic theory as the basis of magic in my story and the rules that will be in this magical universe, but where should I start? Also, are there other great fantasy writers I should read (particularly any series that include a great deal of magic)?

OMG! I love all those Chapter 14 songs. I have them all on my hard drive, believe it or not.

As I said elsewhere, I think he and Matt need to have a good angry f**k to ease the tension. Mark! Bryan needs Matt's cock... not a threesome this time, just one-on-one, not gently but animalistically.

I like a certain level of convenience. I don't carry a man-purse, so there's no sense in wearing pants without pockets.

That's very true, Nephy. I had almost expected to encounter racist attitudes a lot in Texas, but I really haven't. I suppose it was inevitable though.

Well Mark, so far redemption seems to have a slight lead over his death, and I liked Conner's idea. Right now, he's just intolerable. In the short-term, how about an angry f**k session between him and Matt? That's kinda hot.

My G1 has a program that actually turns it into a flashlight. I used it last night. It works well.

I approve as well.

Yeah, and we'd have to make Jack go. Anyway, the Canadians need passports to make it to the US as well. Btw, has anyone thought of Chicago? There's lots of stuff there, or how about New York City?

Meh, it's better than Misery... erm I mean Missouri.

It's in the same area, and nobody's heard of Parker. Some at least have heard of Plano.

Well, she's not very high yet.

There really is a Southfork. It's not actually in Dallas. It's in Plano, a city about a half hour north of Dallas.

I have a thing about voices as well. Sometimes it's hard for me to figure out if I like a guy partly because of his voice or like his voice because I like. Regardless, sometimes I get a woody because of a voice.

Okay, so I went up town to do a bit of shopping. That's not all that unusual. As I was walking from my car into HEB (a grocery store), I noticed a couple of African American women chatting in front of the store and didn't really give it a second thought until... The stupid asshole was walking into the store itself when I was when he whispered something to the effect of "stupid n***ers talking". I wanted to knock out his f**king teeth, but I kept my composure. And this wasn't some old-looking redneck type either. He was a clean-cut, young guy who didn't even seem to have a southern drawl. I don't get it? Why would a cleanly cut, young guy have something so awful to say? It's not as if I live in some small town in Bumf**ked, Egypt. There are a lot of Hispanics, African Americans, and even some Asians here, so I figure if someone doesn't like minorities, then the stupid assholes should live elsewhere. Oh, and then on my way home, I was getting close to an intersection. Some old lady was there waiting, presumably for me to clear the intersection, so she waits until I'm like 2 seconds from reaching the intersection and proceeds to pull out. I honked my horn and said, "stupid bitch". Anyway that pissed me off too. Now that I'm through the unpleasantries, how about some more Italian eye candy?

Well said, Lugh. I hope your son can find a kidney sooner rather than later when the time comes.

Hmmmm... well, if a cock is really thick or the owner of the cock has a cold or the flu that causes a sore throat as one of the symptoms, you're likely to have a sore throat.

I couldn't resist. I read the spoiler. I want to read the chapter... NOW!

I have a difficult scenario. If others would like to come up with something similar here, I won't object. But please use bold print if you do. Let's say you had a kid who was brain dead. Your family has feuded with a certain individual for years. This individual needs a heart and is a match. What do you do? Do you let this person die, or do you put the feud aside and give him a chance at life? What would I do? While I wouldn't be happy about the situation, ultimately I would feel too guilty if I did not allow the person to live. It would be morally abhorrent to let someone die like that. Thus, for the sake of my conscience, I would allow the person a chance at life.

They can be butt pirates, and mine can one they plunder.

I have finished The Spellsong Cycle and have started on The Saga of Recluce. I am reading the first book, The Magic of Recluce.

This may be shocking.... I voted for cats.
