I had a request to start a blog where you could weigh in on thoughts about a movie based on The Merchant of Death and to discuss casting. This isn’t to say that a movie is imminent. It isn’t. But I’m working with some folks to develop one now, so you never know. (Just don’t hold your breath!)
So, here’s the blog. Have fun.
Challenger Black says:
It must have been really freaky for the people who felt it. I didn’t feel it, but I can imagine it would be really scary, especially if it happened out of nowhere.
Julia says:
I felt it. The whole house shook and stuff started falling off of the walls and off of shelves
Challenger Black says:
Wow, that must have been freaky.
Julia says:
Well my sister and my two cats definitely were freaking out, but my mom and I were pretty calm. Had a headache after which is normal after an earthquake, but it was nothing too freaky. It just felt like a whole bunch of shaking.
Vo Spader says:
i heard about it but never felt it. i live in kansas
veelox0 says:
I also heard about it but felt nothing…my friend felt it though
aquaneer ryder says:
@buggyreality
haha sorry for the late respons but i live in NJ
i felt the earthquake pretty good. i was looking around the house seeing all the furniture moving… freaky O.o
@challenger black
yeah, it was so awkward reading the pendragon book and suddenly feeling it shake by itself…
when the shaking was over i thought “It’s saint dane!!!”
veelox0 says:
Does anyone besides me think that the earthquake could be a flume collapsing?
Challenger Black says:
@veelox0
Hey, I never thought of that. Could be a flume collapsing.
Courtney chetwynde says:
Hey I just figured out what would be so awesome to do if there was a pendragon movie. It would be so awesome to be able to co-direct it with dj. Ik that sounds a little absured but think about it. If there was a fan helpin with the movie then it couldnt be ruined. I would love to do it because i want to help with the movie and because i love the techy stuff behind a film.
Jane says:
Wow, almost 2800 comments!
Challenger Black says:
That would be a neat idea, Courtney! For sure 🙂
Courtney chetwynde says:
Hey check ur email challenger black
Challenger Black says:
Okay.
Challenger Black says:
Cool! I just read the second and third part of the convention, and it’s awesome! Love it 🙂
Courtney chetwynde says:
Thanks i just wish it was real
BuggyReality says:
I didn’t get a part 2 or 3.
Challenger Black says:
Yeah, it would be cool if it was real.
Courtney chetwynde says:
This is the entire thing. I wrote it as a way to tell what i would the world about DJ Machale if i got the chance hope you like it

                                  ASHLEY C
                        No way I am not going up there. For 2
                        reasons. 1 I’m to nervous to go there
                        alone. 2 I didn’t do this project by
                        myself. You guys helped a lot. I just
                        put it together.
              They sat down in their seats and started to watch the
              presentation. Â
                                                      HE PRESENTATION
                                                      WAS FOR THE
                                                      AUTHORS SO THERE
                                                      WAS ONLY 5 PEOPLE
                                                      IN FRONT OF THEM.
                                                      SUZANNE COLLINS,
                                                      JK ROWLING, DAN
                                                      GUTTMAN,
                                                      CHRISTOPHER
                                                      PALONI, AND JAN
                                                      BRETT. WERE IN
                                                      FRONT OF THEM
              The 5 authors went and completed there presentation each
              getting a standing ovation from their fans. Next DJ
              Machale got up And went to the stage
                                  DJ MACHALE
                        Hi I’m Dj Machale, as many of you
                        already know, and I am he author of
                        the pendragon and Morpheus road
                        series. Today a bunch of my fans have
                        put together a presentation that they
                        want you to see..
                        Say hello to project Aplreciation
              The crowd applauded as Ashley, Johnny, challenger black
              and the rest of the group went on stage. They all took
              their seats on stage. Except Ashley who went to the mic
                                  ASHLEY C
                        Hi my name is Ashley Cahalane, and I
                        was one who came up with the idea for
                        project appreciation. So they are
                        making me speak figures.
              He crowd laughs
                        So after he announcement of a possible
                        pendragon movie I got really excited.
                        All anyone talked about on the blog
                        was who they wanted to play in the
                        movie. I have to say I’m guilty of
                        that too but, that got me thinking. We
                        had never thanked DJ for writing
                        Pendragon. so I came up with the idea
                        of Project Appreciation. I couldn’t do
                        it on my own so I got the help of my
                        friends from the blog and together we
                        made this. Â
                         But before we show you what we did
                        many of you probably have 2 questions.
                        1, who is DJ Machale and 2, why are
                        there a bunch of kids on stage. Well
                        let me answer that. DJ Machale is my
                        hero, he is my inspiration, and here
                        is my role model. Â
                        Who are we. We are the most dedicated
                        fans of pendragon, who just want to
                        ive back to DJ. Also we hope to become
                        DJ Machale’s Acolytes of halla. Thank
                        uou and hope you enjoy are
                        presentation.
              Ashley walks back to her sea and sits down. The lights dim
              and the presentation starts. When its over Ashley gets
              back up
                                  ASHLEY C
                        I Skype just like to introduce to you,
                        the people who helped me with this
                        project. Johnny B, melanie,
                        Chelsea,buggy reality, aquaneer Ryder,
                        and challenger black. I couldn’t have
                        done this without you.
              She turns and faces her group
                        You guys are like my second family.
                        And I hope you feel the same way too. Â
              The crowd gives he kids a standing ovation. As they walk
              off stage and head back to there seats
                                  EVERYONE
                        This was he best day ever!!!!!!
                                                      END

Courtney chetwynde says:

Gale says:

BuggyReality says:
Those books were great. I didn’t really like Gale at the end though. 🙁
aquaneer ryder says:

and i might sound weird or stupid about asking this question, but what is the hunger games about?
is it a good book? do you guys recommend it?
