It followed the Star Wars formula pretty much to the letter. I was impressed.

(grins) I actually didn't notice that. (considers) Great. Does this mean the elf's his sister?! Heh heh. But, I suppose you're right.
SPOILER TAG, HIGHLIGHT TO READ:
[glow=black,112,300]His mentor dies, he goes off on a quest to save the universe from an EVIL Emperor-like character, oh, and he gets a sweet sword. Heh heh.[/glow]
(wonders if it would be possible to censor [glow=black,199,999] [/glow] to turn into the overdone glow...)
HP is pretty bad for the SW formula though too, I note. Someone did a spoof-image, and wrote out a summary of SW's plot, then went and crossed out words and replaced them to HP's. And it followed the plot for the first movies for both serieses.

Yeah, but that's not quite as blatant. How do you do that spoilery thing?

Heh. That story formula sure didn't begin with Star Wars, though...just another one of the ones that can be successfully reused. (grins)
Here you go, H-e:
[glow=black,112,300][color=black] Put the text here! [/glow][/color]
[glow=black,112,300]And then this should work...[/glow]

Actually, now we have a new tag... [ spoiler ] [/ spoiler]
[glow=black,112,300]See, now it makes the spoiler tag for you and it's easier to remember! Censored words... are... handy... [/glow]
(grins)
But yes, it's one of many overdone plots... but mom's reading Eragon and she thinks it reminds her of my writing style a-la-present. Mmm... cool.

OK, soon I will write out the entire Eragon/ Star Wars formula and how they follow each other. But now I must write Latin essays.

Ooooh, the second book is GOOD. Extremely long... but then the second to last chapter makes it all worthwhile... I was simultaneously gasping (for several reasons), trying not to cry and laughing my head off at the same time.

Extremely long doesn't bother me either. But towards the end I was thinking, "Yeesh, it's still GOING?..."

Ah aye..... I was so surprised at that bit... but now, examining the Star Wars plot formula, I shouldn't have been...
