@seekjustice That is quite interesting.  I think I can count on one hand the number of males I have conversed with on KP.  Let’s see…Daeus, Sam, Ben, Leumeister…yup!  That’s all I can think of.  Oh, and Josiah, of course.  But that’s still on only one hand! 😛

Oh really?  I would be very interested in reading a story of yours that didn’…[Read more]

@rochellaine

It happens more often than you think. You’ve only read a select few of my works over the years. The reason no one died in that particular story, though, was because I had just finished an obsession with a series of novels which was so full of useless, violent death that I vowed never to kill my characters. A bit later, I realised…[Read more]

@daughteroftheking Good bye!

@seekjustice Hahahaha!!  That is hilarious. 😛  And nearly inconceivable.  How could it be possible that you wrote an entire story in which no one died??

That reminds me of how my first couple of fifteen-page “books” were in the fantasy genre complete with a giant, (who had some sort of flying saucer on his head on which a city of people li…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Well, I haven’t read a lot of that either, so…

I still am utterly confused by why people like Zac so much, but that’s okay. I just go with it 😀

I like Northanger Abbey precisely because it makes fun of gothic romances 😉

I know! There’s a lot of people I’ve never heard of before and also some of them are a lot older than most…[Read more]

@seekjustice *pats your head awkwardly* 😛
@rochellaine HIS-FIC!! *overly enthusiastic high five*
Anyway, I’m off. Happy writing, guys!

@seekjustice Oh, whoops.  I meant twentieth century fiction, not just stuff from 1900-1909. 😛  But I guess I am mostly talking about stuff from about 1900-1950.

Haha, I would hope not. 😀 So Zac is alive.  You know what?  I’m still excited about that.

some sort of melodramatic gothic romance heroine

Oh right.  You like Northanger Abbey. :P…[Read more]

@rochellaine

By the way, I’ve been meaning to tell you for ages, I was going through an old story of mine and I realised that it has almost exactly the same plot as SFI, except it’s got otters instead of people. However, you would be so pleased to know that no one–I repeat, no one–died in it. Not the Jonas otter or the Zac otter, or any of…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I know! I’m sorry! I’ve betrayed you! Please forgive me! *faints like some sort of melodramatic gothic romance heroine*

I’ve actually been a member of Story Embers since it started though. And I did manage to find many of my lost compatriots who have migrated there.

@rochellaine

No, I’ve never heard it referenced, as far as I can remember, but I don’t read a lot of 1900s fiction so that might be it 😛

I did see that 😀 And well, he’s hardly at risk of being guillotined in an American college, is he? (I sure hope not anyway).

@seekjustice @daughteroftheking

*reads above posts*

…am I the only Kapeefer who is not on SE now? 😮

@daughteroftheking I wouldn’t necessarily use the word “realistic” in describing them.  I’d probably say “sensationalistic” and “melodramatic.”  You didn’t miss much. 😛

There is no better genre than his-fic, though.  None.

@seekjustice I agree, they were both wrong about a lot of things.

I’ve heard/read many references to Elsie Dinsmore in 19…[Read more]

@daughteroftheking

I think I was cursed with all the world’s sad stories. I don’t know what I did to deserve that, but there you have it 🙂

@seekjustice Haha! I would be the same, except my story concepts are usually so ridiculous, they seem best as kid’s books.

@daughteroftheking I just tagged you with your SE name 😛 See my above post.

Oh, and don’t worry, you weren’t missing out on much.

@rochellaine Oops. My attempts to tag have been thwarted by misspelling. Let me try that again.

@ncstokes @rochellaine

Yeah, me too. I feel that I wouldn’t be particularly good at it.

And even if I was, the parents would not approve.

@rochellaine

I’m pretty sure there all still neatly stacked up under the bed. I’m thinking of selling them 😀 Though they are very pretty.

I’m not sure what I think of that statement. On one hand, her father didn’t understand that he’d been gone for her whole life and literally all she had was her faith, which was why it meant so much to her. He…[Read more]

@seekjustice *lights dim* Yes… join the children’s writers side… *ominous laughter* … *clears throat* *lights come back on* Sorry, uh, don’t know what that was about. *acts casual*

@rochelaine Hey there! I’ve never read those books, but I don’t think I would have liked them. I wasn’t big on realistic books and didn’t really get into h…[Read more]

@seekjustice Frankly, I would be extremely wary of reading any books you wrote to little kids. 😉
