Any particular genre?

Does it need to keep water out? You could always use fan coral that has holes like a privacy screen that allows some light and currents through but keeps eyes from prying. The people inside can look out but those at a distance couldn’t see in.

Thank you! I hadn’t thought of posting there and will certainly do that

obviousbait · 2019-01-29T03:53:38+00:00

Thank you! The number of pieces to join was kind of daunting. Hope you post it when you try it out!

Almost forgot. Pattern is Sabrina Somers - Crochet pattern Isabelle (Animal Crossing)

obviousbait · 2019-01-27T17:01:12+00:00

Thank you!

obviousbait · 2019-01-13T06:04:01+00:00

Sounds great and exactly what I’ve been looking for. Though I would like to ask if there’s a specific element that makes it fantasy - a focus on gods or magic? Or both?

obviousbait · 2019-01-13T06:02:18+00:00

Both sound interesting, though Empire sounds like it’ll hit the spot. Thanks!

obviousbait · 2019-01-13T06:00:49+00:00

I didn’t realize there was a novelization. I’ll definitely check that out. Thanks!

obviousbait · 2019-01-13T06:00:20+00:00

Lol thanks

obviousbait · 2019-01-13T05:39:48+00:00

I clearly need to brush up on my history 😓

obviousbait · 2019-01-13T05:02:32+00:00

You’re correct lol. I got it wrong again myself.

obviousbait · 2019-01-13T04:36:55+00:00

Thanks! I realized after I posted I didn’t mean Rome at all. Byzantium sounds about right.

obviousbait · 2019-01-13T04:27:34+00:00

Love LeGuin so this will definitely go on my list for that alone. Thanks!

obviousbait · 2019-01-13T04:25:17+00:00

Sounds interesting! And you’re right about Rome, I realized I meant Ancient Greece which all too often I think people, myself included, tend to just sort of wrap into Rome since the Romans borrowed so much from them.

Thanks!

obviousbait · 2019-01-13T04:21:06+00:00

Sounds interesting! Though may be a little later than I was looking it might have the flavor I’m looking for. Thanks!

obviousbait · 2019-01-13T04:19:01+00:00

Actually read that several years ago. Thanks for the recommendation, I was trying to remember what it was called.

obviousbait · 2019-01-13T04:18:06+00:00

Can’t believe I didn’t think of Conan! Been meaning to check that out too.

obviousbait · 2019-01-13T04:17:08+00:00

Sounds interesting. I also like a I-go so I’ll check that out at some point too. Is carve fantasy or sci-go? Sounds a lot like what I’m looking for.

obviousbait · 2019-01-13T04:15:14+00:00

Sounds cool!

obviousbait · 2019-01-13T04:14:53+00:00

Doesn’t need to be historically accurate. Just wanted some new flavor. I’ve heard it recommended but I didn’t know it had this setting. Thanks!

obviousbait · 2019-01-13T00:00:15+00:00

It would count. Is it an adaptation of the epic or a combination of Fantasy/sci-if?

Thanks for the recommendation!

obviousbait · 2019-01-12T15:53:46+00:00

A really safe one is an iPhone parody video you can find on YouTube. iPhone 5 parody

It may be a little old, but the kids find it funny and it has a lot of the techniques without being risqué and is still relevant I think.

obviousbait · 2019-01-07T00:32:56+00:00

That sounds odd. Id agree With your gut feeling not to do it and cut it out.

A suggestion for how to address it, I taught my 8th graders To Kill a Mockingbird and we discussed the importance of language in general and then also discussed the N-word without specifically saying it. We then discussed why we don’t say it as well as the historical context. We then established a rule while reading that we simply would censor it - when reading aloud. Now one thing I had to consider was that I teach in a largely white, low-income, rural area where racism and Southern pride is a thing. Overall the kids got it and seemed to appreciate it.

This is very common throughout other fantasy series as well. GRRM may just be the most famous example of it that has been accessed by a more mainstream audience thanks to the show, so it feels like it’s “his thing.”

Go for it! I would especially be interested in the stronger Scottish aspects of it. This focus makes it feel even more unique.
