Ilyon Chronicles discussion

@Amanda, yeah, I won't have to stay off all those things forever, but my doctor wants me to go off them all for awhile, to kind of try to heal my stomach, I guess? And get to the root of the problem. :P Ugh. Health stuff.

Haha, that would be fun to start a health thread!! :D

And here it is: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

;)

Haha! xD

I guess I spend a lot of time with y'all because I dreamed about meeting some of you the other night. O_O Me, Morgan, Gabs, and Amanda-with-the-red-shirt, where all hanging out eating cookies and talking about how we needed to meet the rest of you guys. Kendra might have been there too... It was awesome!

@Gabs: O_O Your name isn't Gabs anymore... And you look like some creepy Star Wars person.

It sounds pretty awesome. We ought to do that for real some time!

That is so awesome! Hehehe. :D I would so love to meet all of you.

Yes, I love pseudonyms and the name Acacia ever since I was introduced to it in Bryan Davis's books. It is like being an undercover agent with a secret identity. Not really, I guess. But it is fun to imagine. :-)

Ah!! Wouldn't it just be great to have an Ilyon Chronicles author and fans get-together? :D :D

I would love to meet all of you!! ^_^

same here!:)

Too bad we all live in different states because we need to have a picnic in the woods and have horse races across a green meadow. Oh! Then have a campfire and roast cinnamon apples.

We should totally find a way to get together someday... Like when we can all drive and money for gas. :P Because you all are awesome!

O____________________O
THE BAD GUY HAS A NAME?????? AND A FACE?????????!!!!!!! OH WOW. I didn't realize how excited I was for Star Wars VII till you said that.

Haha! Yes, undercover agents are cool. :D

If we all live in the US we should meet somewhere in the middle. That would be cool! :D

YESYESYES!!! That would be amazing... I'd probably crush you all with huge hugs...
someone has to bring all the chocolate...

That would be so amazing. I live in Massachusetts, though, so anywhere even slightly west of me is far. But we should have an Ilyon fan convention!

I second this! :D

Stargazer, cool dream! I've had dreams about meeting Internet friends before. And we should totally have an Ilyon fan convention someday. :)

I suggest Lebanon, Kansas for the meeting. It's the exact center of continental United States.

How interesting. 8)
Are you near Kansas, Kendra?

I'm in north-east Texas, so not terribly close, but not terribly far either.

I'm just obsessed with odd facts like that. (Um, and a fun fact that isn't related to Ilyon but anyways - the original setting of book two of my Rizkaland Legends was Lebanon, Kansas. This was because it was one of the "stops" on a road-trip inspired VBS I attended at the time.)

That's cool. :) I feel like we have a lot of Texans here. (I'm a Massachusettsian - so - I'm not, but Texas seems cool.)

I love odd facts too. Like, did you know that it rains diamonds on Uranus and Neptune? How awesome is that???

(Oh, that's fun! I assume then that it is not set in Lebanon anymore?)

Texas is just a big state and holds a lot of people, I guess. And actually, Texas is hot. Especially in the summer. Right now, it's also rather wet.

Ooh, and the Neanderthal skeletons have a larger cranial capacity than modern human beings. (Meaning they probably had bigger brains.)

(No, it's now near my own hometown in North-east Texas.)

Ouch. Hot and wet are two things that I do not like together. I like dry 70 degree days with access to either air conditioning or a pool.

I heard about that! And I heard that Neanderthal humans aged more slowly than us now, because this was pre-flood when people lived to 600+ years old easily. After that, God made it so that people would live to less than 120 and they aged how we do now.

Amanda, I live in Massachusetts, too! it would be amazing if we could all meet...

Yaaay, New Englanders!!! I'm in Connecticut so not that far from both of you!! :D

@Kendra: I didn't know you were a Texan! :O That's awesome!

I love hot! And wet! Less then 70 is too cold for me. 80s are best. I live in Texas and don't have AC. :D (Whenever I go shopping I freeze. XD)

New Englandies unite! :D

We should all meet in either Texas or the northeast. Just saying...

Yeah, although Texas sounds too hot. :(

Haha. I'm from Connecticut and currently living in Texas.

Texas is hot, but it's not as bad as I anticipated.

Well, that should be a relief. I think it's the difference in humidity that really affects how hot it is. It's drier in Texas than Connecticut.

That's nice. It gets extremely humid here. I have a pool, but still. I'd rather have dry heat than feel oppressed under the horrendous weight of the humid air...
Okay I'm done.

WEST Texas is dry. EAST Texas is as humid as a steamkettle, thanks to it's proximity to the Gulf Coast. I don't know whether humid heat or humid cold is worse, because when it's hot, it's close and sticky and I CAN'T BREATH, but when it's cold, the wet just sends arrows of chill straight through your clothes and to your bones and we are miserable.

But, for the most part, I enjoy Texas. It's a nice state to put down roots in.

It's actually a little humid out here in west Texas by our standards. And I don't like it.

But, yeah, a meetup would be fun! We'd probably have to pick a place in the middle of nowhere so we don't bother anyone with the noise of everyone fangirling all at once. :P

Or we could all randomly show up on Jaye's doorstep. I think she lives in Wisconsin. Either than or Wyoming. It's one of the mid-east W states.

Hahaha....that's funny Miss Claire. Ah, it would be so fun though!!! I'd be nervous (like I usually am with new people) but excited at the same time.

(@Kendra) yeah! after we read Half Blood and we can pin her against the wall and scream "How could you do such a thing to poor Jace." and then we can have a crying party ;) JK

Jaye lives in WI, I think. I'm in MN, so I vote we all show up on Jaye's doorstep. ;)

Hmm, more of us are in Texas then I thought! I love the heat so I'm happy here.
But yeah, we should totally show up on Jaye's doorstep! One or two at a time Dwarves-from-the-Hobbit style, till her house is full of us. :D Though, her brothers would probably have to be there to protect her from us violent fangirls. XD
...Totally joking, I want to meet Jaye and give her a big hug and get to literally scream about how much I love Jace! :D

@Stargazer
I second that motion!

Let's all just show up on her doorstep. That would be amazing. (Hobbit style - um, YES!)
Amanda Beguerie, at your service! Do you have any shortbread?

Er...I live nowhere near anyone. *cries sadly* I guess from this list I'm the closest to Kendra. Uh, Florida, anyone? I live on the coast about halfway down. It's very...um...wet, and hot. I guess if you like the beach...or sailing...or alligators. Armadillos? Lizards? C'mon, someone has to like one of those!

anyone Virginia? :'( I'm sitting here anyone like anyone from the northish south;) Virginia, West Virginia anywhere!

I like the beach and alligators! And Armadillos! (And Manatees!!) I used to live in Florida but now I live in West Virginia. It would be awesome to meet you all!

What about me?! I'll be moving to Puerto Rico in less than a month!!! I'm a military brat so I move around. Miss Jaye, I might just be your first fan girl in Puerto Rico!

West Virginia!!!!! All right Lily:):):)

I didn't even see your post until after I posted Hannah! :) :) :)

That's funny. We should totally randomly show up on Jayes doorstep!! ;) Hmmm, not too many New Englanders here, there do seem to be a lot of Texans though. ;)

@Lily it was really cool! If you don't mind my asking what part of West Virginia do you live? We live like one hour an hour and a half away from the West Virginia line

The awkward moment when you notice you said anyone three times in two (ish) sentences

I live in Wisconsin. So I really like the idea of showing up at Jaye's doorstep. ;) And just to confirm, Jaye does live in Wisconsin.

I need to finish working on my Teleporter.
