paragon1 posted:Edit: And why the gently caress would rollercoasters be venomous (of all the things to get right, she said venomous instead of poisonous)? This was what I was going to pick up on as well. How are they venomous, why would they need to be? Also bending lightning and fire? I mean come on, how do any of the powers related to roller-coasters at all? Why do roller-coasters that can smash up police cars need to have all these powers arghhhh.

JosephWongKS posted:I will buy a free forum upgrade or avatar to the goon who can demonstrate that Rodney’s car was destroyed or otherwise lost during one of the earlier chapters, because I’ve re-read all of them and can’t find any evidence to such effect. Of course, that means that you will have to re-read the earlier chapters, but that’s the iron price you have to pay. Don't think it is specific enough but he smashes up at least 1 car at the bar. quote:Railrunner crossly walked up to the police. They began to fire, their bullets simply bouncing off of him. He then grabbed the front bumper of the cruiser, and tossed it like a toy. It smashed into another car.

It really does seem like someone has cut and pasted stuff from other genres into this, especially with this 'forbidden love' line.

Why would he have a heart of clockwork? Rollercoasters aren't powered by clockwork. I really think this is a magical story though.

I'd love to see a Syfy film adaptation of this book, get some terrible over the top actors and it'd be great especially lines like:quote:“Railrunner, you’re a vehicle.”

Unfortunately as Detective Black is not a rollercoaster Miranda hasn't drawn any art of him, so have this as a consolation.

quote:I watched in horror as Freakshow smirked and started to descend up the mangled pole. Again? I wonder if when Miranda was going through her thesaurus for interesting words (quarrel for fight etc) she mistakenly read descend as being a synonym for climb.

quote:I then slung him with all my strength; he flew succorless toward the wall. He hit with a loud crack, the wall cracking with him. The ride then fell into the pit below the platform. Succourless means without help/assistance, which doesn't fit at all. I think the thesaurus strikes again and the word Miranda was going to use was 'helplessly'. I mean I can see how she got there but they don't have quite the same meaning. FairyNuff fucked around with this message at 15:29 on May 23, 2013 |

Did you know that whilst rollercoasters don't have sex they basically still have orgasms?quote:Note: Not going to put a mature tag on this since there is no actual er..."intercourse" here. If you know my coasters, they can't reproduce on their own.

Vertigo plot posted:I'm not revealing her name, but she's the daughter of a successful amusement park owner and knows the story of Between and all of its rides. She's a shy teenager but is loved by everyone. And her name was Miranda and she loved rollercoasters!

JosephWongKS posted:I... I probably will do a Let's Read thread for the sequels when they come out. It's like reading the Necronomicon - you know it's very bad for you but you just can't tear your eyes away. Luckily it will be better*: quote:I actually read Vertigo and look back on this and go: " My god, this makes my previous work look like poo poo." Well, good writing comes with practice. Now that I'm older I'm better. *

JosephWongKS posted:Question for you guys: If you recall, I had bought the hard copy of the book from Amazon. What should I do with it now? I don't really want to keep it, lest a visitor or family member inadvertently picks it up and flips through it and I'm on the hook for the medical bills for aneurysm that arise as a result. I'd send it to my worst enemy, except I don't know anyone I hate so much that I'd send him or her "Twisted". For similar reasons, I wouldn't want to donate it to the Salvation Army or other charitable organization. Secret santa or anonymous bookswaps!
