In Artemis Fowl (the very first book) Artemis decides to test his theory for escaping the time stop on his mother. Artemis' mother takes a sleeping pill, and when the time stop is initiated, she disappears. However, Artemis later states that when a time stop is initiated all persons will remain in the state of consciousness that they were in when the time stop began. Mrs. Fowl should not have disappeared; she should have maintained her state of sleep and remained in the manor. [This is the whole point of how Artemis orchestrates his escape at the end. Essentially, if you enter the time stop asleep, then you won't even notice you were in the time stop because no actual time has passed, thus entering the time stop asleep would mean you immediately jump to the end of the time stop. Artemis must therefore force himself to sleep and jump ahead in time to a point during which the fairies cannot get him.]| Login

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click "make changes" when viewing mistakes, and click "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.
