NOT A WARRIORS ROLE-PLAY OR TWILIGHT FAN-FEST OR REALISTIC FICTION
This is a...
This is a thread for anything except realistic fiction*, Warriors**, or Twilight***. These have been taking over the front page, and it's really annoying (not the realistic fiction, though) So, a thread for anything BUT WARRIORS, TWILIGHT, OR REALISTIC FICTION.
My reactions to those books/genres:
* :p not so bad sometimes
** :P Yuck. Stagnant
*** *wishes it had never been written* *dies in horror of the fact that it has*

Despite being a former warriors fan (as of Sunrise), I am in complete support of this thread. Hrm, how about The Lightning Theif series?

@Reuben and Lightning Thief
I've read them (except for the last), and one of my bros are reading them this instant. Across the table from me. We have the old cover with the cartoony monsters coming out of a lightning bolt. Makes the book look junky, if you ask me.
Anyway, I like them.
Has anyone read Alan Bennett's The Uncommon Reader? I'm determined to find someone else who has!

I like realistic fiction. :) I don't see any Twilight threads. And Warriors? Well, there's more of a healthy mix now.

*raises hand* Gimme cookies for all my non-Warriors threads? *bambi eyes*
Hm... Realistic fiction bugs me, with a few exceptions; Les Mis (obviously...), this one book Arrrghfishi was writing on the MB for a while (it was romance too, which is a massive point in its favour 'cause I hate romance), and anything Victorian or pre-Victorian in origin (such as Dickens, Sweeney Todd, or Shakespeare).
Oh, anyone read Storm Thief?

I'm all in favor of this thread! I never got past Percy's arrival at Camp Half-blood, though, for "The Lighting Thief," though....

DO YOU PEOPLE NOT READ THE ORIGINAL POSTS? ARE YOU TRYING TO BE RUDE? DO YOU THINK IT'S FUNNY? DO YOU THINK IT'S CUTE?
It isn't funny, it isn't cute, it isn't clever, it is RUDE. SO PLEASE, YOU CAN BE A FAN OF WARRIORS BUT FOR HELEN'S SAKE DON'T PURPOSELY TALK ABOUT WARRIORS ON A THREAD SPECIFICALLY NOT ABOUT WARRIORS!
/capsrape. I'mma done now.

Thirded. Sorry, unnon or whoever you are.

y not???
(May 12, 2009 - 9:05 pm)
"y" not what? Why isn't it cute/clever/funny? Because it's downright rude. Why is it rude? It's called trolling. Look it up. Urban Dictionary.
In case you're too lazy to look it up, trolling means:
Why can't you purposefully talk about Warriors on a post explicitly NOT about Warriors? As I said, that's called trolling, and it's rude/against the rules of teh Internetz, except for lulz. You've got fifty gazillion other posts to talk about Warriors, so talk about Warriors there and not here. It'd be different if this were, say, a Warriors discussion forum and someone made a post saying they weren't fond of Warriors, and you calmly stated your opposite opinion for purposes of debate, that wouldn't be trolling. However, this is a book-in-general section of a forum, and this is a post with only three taboos- realistic fiction, Twilight, and WARRIORS. That means that posting "I love Warriors" or even "I hate Warriors" is trolling this thread. And trolling, as I stated, is strictly lulz-only and completely inappropriate for a site aimed at such young people. Savvy?
(May 12, 2009 - 10:49 pm)
Agreed. *cheer*
By the way, though, what is "lulz"? (Just that I have this feeling that it's not going to be in my mom's college dictionary.)
(May 13, 2009 - 3:05 pm)
Go TNÖ! I agree with everything you said... except what is lulz?
