      And…a random announcement because I just want people who go through and read all these posts to know…

      I don’t like Zac because of his “bad boy” character traits.  I despised him when I started to read the book, and thought he was an annoying and horrible person.  I like him because he got better and changed, and at the end of the book is no longer bad, but becomes a Christian and does the right thing.

      Just so we’re clear here. 😉 😛

        @rochellaine I know what you mean, if that helps any.  I think of the term bad boy almost like the word naughty though, not as strong as you are using it.

          Really nice, girl! 😉

          Yeah my definition of ‘bad boy’ is what Rochellaine said.

            @rochellaine

            Maybe, I don’t know. 😛

            Well, I guess Dorian Grey started off as a bad boy and ended up as a villain. Byronic Hero is the “technical” term, seeing as Lord Byron wrote a lot of them.

                    @ariel-ashira Yes, I think the term can be used as a sort of endearment, but I don’t think I was too harsh in my assessment.  SeekJustice rather was. 😛  Since “bad” has been getting worse in modern society, what’s considered just a normal, cute and rule-bending guy, by non-Christians I would consider to be a pretty awful person, probably.  Like I said earlier, not a gangster, but more of a rebel type.


                    @jenwriter17
                    Hello!  How are you doing?


                    @seekjustice
                    I’ve read a few places that Heathcliff is the “archetype” for anti-heroes.  I think he’s basically the same as the Byronic hero types.  But I don’t generally like 1800s heroes and haven’t actually read Wuthering Heights or any of Byron’s stuff. 😉


                    @alia
                    No spoilers. 😛  Just don’t read up on the last page and you should be fine.  If I want to talk about Zac I’ll…I’ll just…oh no, I don’t know what I’ll do.  But I’ll try to keep from saying anything! 😉

                      @rochellaine, I only just started @seekjustice ‘s sequel tonight (grand total of 2 paragraphs in) so I haven’t met Zac yet and don’t want a preconceived idea. But I have to agree with you on what you said about bad boys. Society has romanticized the idea of being bad because that makes you cool. Kinda reminds me of the Studio C video Bad Boy Rap

                        Well, I don’t usually like bad boys, so I don’t write them very much, but they’re coming more and more popular in contemporary fiction. I’m a solid believer in the good men, who aren’t boring. Hopefully. (Quiiiilllloon).

                          Well, if the reactions of the other readers are to go on, you’ll probably hate him from the first 😀

                                  Hey everyone, quick question.

                                  If a cottage was supposed to be a hideout, what would it look like? (in the woods)
