I'm steven's daughter. He's talked about me a lot. I am just now starting EG. I'm on chapter 3. I'm really enjoying this Christmas.

I'm beginning to realize that I'm going to have to be serious every once and a while, but it's my magnanimous pleasure to make people laugh, though it takes really long for me to get the post posted posthaste because I type slower than a drunk turtle. Though I am just a young'un and I'm just memorizing the locations of the letters individually.Oh, and thanks for the welcome, breyerchic. I hope I can be just as familiarized with Hatrack as Daddy, and he's been posting on here for nearly 7 years.And don't be suprised if I say something stupid or immature, I'm only 9.

Luna, how wonderful that you came here and gave us such a charming introduction to you, yourself. Are you a Harry Potter fan? (I was wondering about the "Luna" and LL in the Potter stories.)
I'm having a nice Christmas now, too. Posts: 14017 | Registered: May 2000

Actually, yes CT, I am a fan of Harry Potter.I have not gotten to The Order Of The Phoenix yet.Sounds interesting. I think it's fun getting to know everyone and posting is teh awesome, too. BTW, anybody familiar with Edward Scissorhands or The Princess Bride? Posts: 87 | Registered: Dec 2007

Haha. Indeed. Welcome, and it sounds like you'll fit right in, based on the quote blackblade highlighted. HI!

See, that sort of intelligence is something i'm lacking now. To have written that when I was nine would have been something out of a fantasy novel.
But yeah, welcome. You already fit in.
As for EG, after you finish it and LOVE it (which I'm positive you will) try the sequals. Just don't give up on the first couple chapters of SftD, they're very different that EG. I was about your age when I first tried the sequals, and it threw me for a serious loop.

Are you kidding? This place is practically obsessed with The Princess Bride. I'm sure there are Edward Scissorhands fans, too, but we don't geek out about that movie quite as much.

Hey everybody, guess what? I'm writing a novel! It's about a girl named Lydia living in Alabama with her mother, and then a boy named Brian moves in next door and at first they don't get along because Lydia is technically a hillbilly and Brian is a city slicker but then they become best friends.It has such a sad ending though:Brian is attacked by mountain lion.It's called The Cat And The Dog.

If you called it "The City Mouse," you could tell people the mountain lion attack was symbolic of something.

Well, Daddy, obviously the mad faces are Lydia and Brian not getting along, then the kissing faces are Lydia and Brian getting along, and the crying face is the sad ending.....okay, maybe it's not that obvious. Posts: 87 | Registered: Dec 2007

Actually her stories are good. The most recent one had a excellent McGuffin. The opening needed a little something, I thought, but it was definitely creative.
Daughter mine, why don't you post a little something that you've written?
"okay, maybe it's not that obvious."
It was, it's just that nobody here has used smilies exactly like that before, that I know of. It was OK, though.

I guess I'll be the one to say it... This doesn't strike anyone else as being an obviously fictional person? Or, to be more precise, while the person may not be fictional, does it strike anyone else that these posts were probably not written by the real person to whom they are being attributed?

As a matter of fact, I am both a Tante and a Shvester. Although I was a Shvester before I was a Tante. It usually works that way. But not always.

Wait, is this serious or a joke?

I think she's real. Maybe she's getting some help with her vocab, but steven has no reason to lie to us about something like this. Unless he has a reputation I don't know about?

I think the kid would be mad if I told that I have helped her with her spelling and, on one occasion, acted as a thesaurus. Her mom may be helping as well, on the other end.

Actually she may not be mad. I used to have to break out the 10 pound, 2 volume dictionary weekly or even daily when I was her age and reading something with words I didn't know. Where's the shame in that?

Quit lying to the people, TL. I don't need help with my vocabulary. Also, I'm not lying. Ask steven. He's my Daddy. Maybe I am a little like Ender Wiggin, being so young but yet so sophisticated. I'm in the AIG class, a special class for smart kids. If you ask steven, his response will be "She lies you not." Also, I'm on chapter 3 of my novel. I AM NOT STEVEN! I AM THE ALMIGHTY SKYLER!

Okay, that last sentence rang pre-adolescent. But take it as a compliment, Luna. TL is not condescending to you.
Though technically, you're supposed to be 13 to be on this board. That's why I don't let my daughter post here. Of course you have an IQ of 140+ so it's like you're 13... but that's true of virtually everyone here. I'm mentally over 50 years old . I wouldn't normally speak of IQ but I anticipate that it might come up and I have to go to bed now.

Technically, Luna 9 is 42years old. Her father just doesn't want it to be known that he's prehistoric.

Wow. Pretty impressive, even if you are using your parents as walking dictionaries, Luna! It's not a sin to use them, and even I occasionally need to pick up a dictionary to make sure one of the words I use means what I think it means.
This is scary. You're as smart as a tack, and I didn't actually realize you were that young until I saw it stated outright. I would have guessed younger than me, but definitely not THAT young!

I'm going to have to read that story of yours. We're moving to Alabama soon. My son is terrified that everyone will be more "countrified" there than they are here in NC.
