I think there is somewhat of a difference between teemaged rebellion and…you know a historical event called The Great Revolt. Like swords and murder. Just saying.

He did, however, knight his cook and that made me laugh. So there’s that 😛

And I’m Australian, we have an inbuilt suspicion of authority. Especially authority that…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I return after having read through most of the Wikipedia article.

The man revolted against his own father (who granted wasn’t the greatest guy either), he abandoned England and taxed profusely in orer to pay for the crusades, including taxing the church (which no one was happy about). He, according to the article, was considered…[Read more]

@notawriter Haha! That’s a really funny coincidence! Or is it… a conspiracy?? 😉

@rochellaine

What I meant was that in some version a bloke makes fun of him and then Robin shoots one of the king’s deer to show off and that in the older versions he just shoots the guy who was making fun of him.

I love Jean Valjean. 🙂

I actually said in my post on Anastasia some time ago that I wished it had been separated from real history…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I believe there’s other versions where he kills some of the king’s deer. I used that one in a short story I wrote once.

Its still has a benevolent version of Richard. That is honestly the thing that annoys me most.

No, I don’t.

@rochellaine

By originals I mean the ones written 800 years ago. Not that I’ve read them either. I’ve never really been into RH. He usually becomes an outlaw because he kills someone who was making fun of him. He has  a temper.

I mostly watched deaf/sign language videos but I did listen to Sobbin’ Women, which I can announce as the weirdest…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Its just a fact that has always bugged me. Also the king in the original Robin Hood stories is King Edward…the second, maybe?

Just a friendly reminder… Anastasia died a horrible death and they also killed her puppy, so there we go.

Well, I’m out of ideas then. Historical facts sometimes crush my creativity.

@rochellaine @seekjustice I have to go now. I’ll see you both tomorrow maybe 🙂

@rochellaine

Oohhh……once I had an idea for a RH retelling which involved Robin attempting to stop Prince Richard and Eleanor of aquitane from murdering King Henry. I’ve never been a fan of Richard because in real life he was only the slightest bit better than John. He was pretty awful.

Though if Richard in your story wants to doesn’t want…[Read more]

@rochellaine Wow, that’s quite an interesting twist to the story! I love it! 😀

Maybe John could be under the delusion that he and Marion are in love as well, so he does what’s she asks (????) To redeem Marion, I’d have to think on that… maybe some backstory plays into what she does???….

Jay Blue….I like it! 😉

@rochellaine *innocent face* Who, me? Heartless? 😛 Why, no, I’ll prove you wrong. 😉 a conversation I just had yesterday with my brother:

Me: *flips through some pages of my WIP* *sobs*

Brother: *walking by* What are you doing?

Me: Oh my poor characters! My babies! I’m sorry…

Brother: Um, what are you doing?

Me: My poor Rin… my poor…[Read more]

@seekjustice @rochellaine

Robin Hood retelling?! Wait, WHO’S doing a Robin retelling? Are you, Rochellaine? I must knoooooooooow!!!!

@Rochellaine ooh…A Robin Hood retelling??? Tell me more.

I’ve just been considering a Little Mermaid retelling…

@rochellaine Haha, they’re terrible! It’s great! 😛 😛 😛

…..

And how about yours? 😉

@rochellaine

Right now I’m not really working on anything but if I get up and get my computer I’m going to read some more of Jen’s book and hopefully catch up.

@jenwriter17

Welcome!

@rochellaine @seekjustice

*timidly steps in* I think I might be able to write for a teensy bit.

@rochellaine

Don’t be sorry for falling aslee! You stay up way too late anyway  (not that I’m complaining. I enjoy talking to you. I’m just stating a fact)

Good thanks!

@rochellaine Oh, yeah that’s totally understandable. Though it seem KP is being abandoned, at least somewhat 🙁

I can’t remember exactly, but I think they were devotional/theological books of some kind…

Yes, I knew you weren’t trying to promote yourself on me (but you should! 😉 )

@jane-maree Yes, I am preparing myself mentally for the…[Read more]

@skredder I think I can read it all tonight 😀
