Well, I'm going to bed soon so if you don't tell anyone I let you, you can take over PC. I get dibs on HQ though and the default theme (or only theme :D) has to be Blossom Shower.

It's... well, the writing is okay it's just the content. @[email protected] The main character is a total mary sue (self-described as plain, yet ALL THE GUYS LOVE HER WHAT) and, according to my vampire-obsessed friends, the vampires in the novels aren't even near-accurate, if that makes any difference to you. The book is rather amusing if you read through it and assume the main character is on an acid trip, though. XD

I can't believe there are people who don't actually know what Twilight is! @[email protected] Like... shouldn't they have at least HEARD about it from their friends?! It's a sad world... XD

*gasp!* How can you not have heard of it? Even if I hadn't read the series, I would still know what it is, because 75% of my friends have read it XD

But it's such a popular series, I have to wonder how you can't have heard of it from your friends/acquaintances, or FaceBook XD They have an application called Bumper Sticker on there, and so many of the bumper stickers that you can send to your friends are about Twilight/Edward Cullen. =P Plus, with the movie coming out, it's hard not to hear about it.

I hadn't heard of the books either until my friends began raving about them a month or two ago. So far, the reviews I've come across on the books in question are all pretty positive, so I might give the series a chance at some stage in my life.

Right now I'm enjoying the sixth Artemis Fowl book. It's quite complicated and not as good as the Artemis Fowl saga was back in the day, but I'm not going to put it down until I finish it.

In my opinion, only the first book is REALLY good. The last three in the series... they were worth reading, I guess. But they were kind of "Eh."

I never got in to Artemis Fowl for some reason. I started reading one of the books, but I stopped. I think it was a little too over-my-head at the time XD

My favorite series of all time is the Pendragon series. For some reason, it's not popular at ALL. Which is a shame, because it's so wonderful! The man who writes it has such a wonderful sense of humor, and is so good at the fast-paced action scenes. I love it. I wish he would make a movie out of it, but he says he's still unsure about the idea. The best part about the author [D.J. MacHale] is that if you e-mail him, he'll e-mail you back! HAHA. It's awesome. He's replied to the e-mail I sent him. [He told me he knew Jesse McCartney X3]

The first book is Twilight, isn't it? I'll trust your recommendation and buy it. I've heard that the books after that were sort of suffering from the cliché virus, is that true?

The first Artemis Fowl book was way too fast for the following reasons; too many characters are introduced too quickly and the plot explodes midway through the book and if you don't want to lose track your sort of have to read it all in one sitting. Everything else was okay but from the fourth book onwards everything was way too surreal for me and that was when the saga truly lost its class.

You have no idea how much respect you have just gained from me for that piece on the Pendragon series. Damn, it has to be one of the most underrated books ever but they're still some of the greatest books I've ever had the privilege to read. I don't know what makes it so great, the fact that the author has managed to make so many crazy decisions with the plot that seem to be spiraling towards utter and mass destruction or the fact that he knows how to tie everything together at the end. Sadly for me, the books are only sold in America and not Ireland, so I have to buy them off Amazon and I still haven't managed to purchase Pilgrims of Rayne yet.

I second that. Sometimes the books lag and I found myself skipping some pages to get to good bits. As per usual, like many films, the first book was better than the sequels ;___;

That is right, yes. The first book's storyline all fits together, but after that they all turned into stories which we've heard before ><"

Sad, isn't it? I don't think it was intentionally written with six sequels in mind, but of course the author's trying to recreate the success. v_v And it's slowly getting worse. Rather like Madonna.

I just bought the sixth one and finished it. I'd say it's probably the second best Artemis Fowl book, next to the first book in the series.

Nah, Eoin Colfer was not planning on five follow-on novels but that's what happens. The first three were okay in terms of reality but it got too surreal from the fourth book onwards.

Anyways, I just realised that old Daily Chit-Chat threads got about twleve thousand posts a month, such as this one. Yeah, I don't really have a reason for pointing that out, I just thought it was interesting.

Two members were banned, then pardoned. One become a mod, then stepped down and became inactive. Two left of their own volition; one of them resurfaces every once in a while. The last one currently holds the title of moderator.

Such a sad but true fate. I think of what everyone's doing now and then :\

PC is way too strict these days for anything similar to the "DCC Mafia" to arise.

Hmm... I've only heard rumors of this DCC mafia.
It's strange how things like that work out, huh?
Some left, one got promoted, etc. Destiny is a strange thing. :/

Well, you have to believe in something to get you through your life, eh?
I have no religious ties, however; I do believe destiny and karma shape our everyday actions. ;D
