Re: The train schedule

LK, Sure, why not? I only wish I'd have done so prior to starting the darn thing! Now I'm stuck, but seeing as how I'm flying by the seat of my pants with the story anyway, Abby, Owen, and I will just have to deal with it! gk, It's funny you mentioned that. I happened to be on Google maps tonight lo...

Re: very privat stuff

Dom, Thank you, and I very much relate to practically every thing you said in your post. I started drawing at a very early age after seeing some of my Grandmothers artwork in a scrapbook that my Grandfather had put together to house all of his WW2 photos, military papers, uniform patches, etc...I sp...

Re: Triumph vs. Tragedy

I very much agree with what you all have said. But what I want to know is if you feel that Eli and Oskar's story is triumphant, and Abby and Owens story is tragic. And is the implied tragic nature of LMI the reason why you don't like it. To say that there is no cyclical nature in regards to Eli is e...

Triumph vs. Tragedy

While I am new here, I have looked over quite a few threads. I'll eventually get to them all as time goes by, as there is definitely an abundance of insight to be had in regards to the novel and the two films, and just what it is that touches all that are here so much. What continues to baffle me is...

Re: very privat stuff

Just found this thread, and yeah...me too. Look at my user name, go figure. To everyone that posted here, I have to say I'm sorry that you all also may feel as I do inside. While I am certainly not naive enough to think that I am the only one, it doesn't make this 'island' I live on any more hospita...

Re: The train schedule

Well after reading your stuff, GK's, and LK's,(and JAL's of course), I would be remiss were I not to pay attention to the seemingly little things. I know that for myself at least, the more authentic the 'minor details', the easier I find it to get totally immersed in the story. Before I found this s...

The train schedule

In doing a bit of research to start writing a fanfic, I thought it would be a good thing to find out just what train Abby and Owen would be on, and where the heck I needed to have them getting off sometime after sunset. From what I can tell, there is no commuter train that runs through Los Alamos. T...

Re: 'What Keeps Us Riveted'

What keeps me riveted is the not so simple fact that underneath it all, these three stories are a mirror of the human condition. These stories show exactly what it means and feels like to be alive, to exist, to suffer, to lose, to use, to be used, to hope, to love, and to be loved. I dare to say tha...

Authentic locations vs. film

Getting to actually see the authentic locations from the novel/JAL's inspiration was incredible. I can't thank drakkar enough. My feelings upon seeing the real apartment complex, and especially the courtyard/jungle-gym, was just how much more effective the real place juxtaposes the myriad of element...

Re: Eli/Abby : The definitive Vampire?

What it comes down to, to me at least is this; we are all vampires. Like a vampire, we were created by someone elses doing. Not one of us chose to be born, yet here we are, trying to survive in an inhospitable world that threatens to destroy us at every turn on one level or another. And like a vampi...
