@alia I’d love to read this part of your book (are you wanting us to leave comments?), but sadly due to busy life and other beta jobs, I won’t be able to read the whole thing. 🙁

@alia

I know right? on the rare occasions I do talk to a young man of a similar age to myself, I’ll say something and then internally go “Oh wait, was that flirting?? If so, I should probably stop because I’m terrible at it and this is super awkward…”

@alia

Goodness, Zac’s doing better than me in the fact that he has someone to flirt with at all!

@rochellaine

Don’t blame Zac. It’s just that I’m really bad at flirting.

And yes, it would have been really interesting (except my sister. of course, lives in the same house as me, so I wouldn’t dare). Also, one of the cons I had written down for the point of killing Zac was: “He wouldn’t get to be with Neva”. ?????? Why would Zac want to be w…[Read more]

@valtmy

Justice is only one revolutionary leader out of a large number, even if that wasn’t necessarily made clear in the first draft. Also, the revolutionary group existed before Justice came along. He just took charge because he’s the bossy sort. And can you imagine Jonas leading a revolution?

That’s true. But I thought that would be too ob…[Read more]

@valtmy

Fair enough. And yes, Enjolras is very much a noble character with a noble revolution, whereas Justice most definitely is not.

And yes, it would have been very interesting. I’m sure @rochellaine wishes I’d done it. 😀

haha… 😀 Can you imagine Justice saving rich people from the guillotine? 😛 Its not him.

@alia Okey dokey…[Read more]

@alia Let me repeat! I wasn’t trying to get anyone to ship anyone through the window scene. Also I’m still confused by Justice’s attempts to flirt with Chessy because all attempts for anyone to flirt with him in the first book met with zero success.

The amount of things that confuse me about my own book confuses me.

@rochellaine

Well, Enjolras actually seems like a balanced mixture of no-nonsense, sense, briskness and actual…politeness. Justice lacks politeness. and sense. and basically everything other than revolutionary fervour.

In fairness, the original window scene was entirely a practical thing. A…[Read more]

@valtmy

Your opinions on Justice? Did you like him or not?

(Did anyone like Justice excepting my sister?)

@rochellaine @alia

Oooh, I love conflicting opinions! 😛

Personally, I believe he was too emotionless in the first book and waaay too angsty in the second. Neither side of Justice quite captures the glory of Enjolras, which was what I was going for.

@alia

Yep, in a nutshell 😀

@alia

I think that’s the way he’s supposed to appear for the most part, but hopefully I’m making him more human in the second draft.

Well, I think that taken out of context it fits them both perfectly. They aren’t so much wanting to be better in order to honour their parents, though, but rather to prove themselves. So its a bit different, but…[Read more]

@alia

Zac and Justice are both confusing full stop.

In some ways, I identified with Justice much more in the first book, but I’ll admit that I don’t really like his character in the second. I think he was just too different to the Justice we’d come to know in the first book and he kind of spiralled out of control.

Yeah, I think it does!…[Read more]

@rochellaine @alia

I don’t mind being held accountable to you who are on the other side of the world, because I’m already accountable to my sister for Quillon and she’s in the same bedroom. If Quillon dies, I die too. 😀

I fluctuate between adoring Justice and absolutely hating him. He could possibly die if I’m in a bad mood.

And no, Chessy…[Read more]

@alia

I would never, never, never kill Quillon. You have my word. He is the only safe character.

I did that on purpose (making Jonas’ death more impersonal). Death in war is not often a particularly personal thing, especially in trench warfare, and Chessy had also got to the point where she was overwhelmed and had to stop herself from caring so…[Read more]

@valtmy

Hey, I was wondering if you would do a favour for me? You’ve given me some invaluable feedback on Stars Fill Infinity but would you mind filling out the questions at the end of the second book? Just so I can get some more indepth thoughts on that one as well? Thanks!

@alia @rochellaine

Anyone around?

@seekjustice Thank you so much! haha, maybe I should’ve stuck with the steampunk identity 😛

@gh24682468999 sorry, yeah there were some problems on my end. glad it’s working now, and thank you! 😀

@jenwriter17

Wow! Its awesome! Its really pretty and I love your About page. You also look different to how I imagined you (but please don’t ask me how I imagined you because then I’d have to sheepishly admit that I was still imagining the steampunk horse 😛 )

@alia sorry, I can’t write today 🙁 I might be on this weekend though, we’ll see…

@alia Thank you! I plan to make an official post Saturday.
