Alia

@alia Bye! I love Jonas so much! I’m currently rewriting the scene with Chessy and Jonas at the speedway and my love has been renewed 😀 I also love Jean. And names that start with J.

@alia I agree with Rochellaine, I think it could be hidden in a hill, or a riverbank or something like that. I’ve always wanted a house like the one that the Ingalls lived in, in I think, On the Banks of Plum Creek?

@rochellaine Well, I’m glad you think I did a good job. I do love a good redemption arc (my favourite thing to write ever!)

@alia I would picture it sort of like the sod shanties or dugouts from Little House on the Prairie.  Those are like cottages, but they are a bit disguised.

@alia Yes, like the Bible says, evil is thought good, and good is thought evil. 🙁  It’s quite possible for guys to be “cool” without being bad, but a lot of people don’t realize that. 😛

@seekjustice Quillon is really sweet.  Forgive me, but even with his strength in protecting Sapphire I think he’s not quite as strong as Justice or Zac (…[Read more]

*pops head in* It might look like a tree, be covered in branches.
Or if there are big trees, inside of a tree with a staircase down. (Like in the Princess Bride. But maybe not a button. Instead it could have a branch you pull to open the door.)
Or it could be built in the side of a mountain with the entrance behind a bush. @alia
Good night!…[Read more]

@alia But hopefully you’ll like him by the end 😛

@alia

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

@rochellaine

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).

@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.  Li…[Read more]

@alia Hi!

@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.

@jenwriter17 Hello!

@ariel-ashira Oh wow! Let us know how the meeting goes! 😀

@seekjustice That collage….my heart aches for him…

Really nice, girl! 😉

@rochellaine

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

@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.

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 l…[Read more]

@seekjustice Okay, I wonder if it’s an American thing?  Usually when I hear the term “bad boy” it’s used to define the rule-bender who doesn’t believe in much but is very charismatic and the girls fall for him quick as a wink.  I could be wrong about this, let’s ask @jenwriter17 😛

The other guys…oh, don’t even mention Dorian Gray.  He’s too ba…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Well, my definition is definitely something that leans slightly more toward Justice than Zac. Not that Justice is really a bad boy. In the books I’ve read though, the bad boys are definitely dangerous, sarcastic, cruel (Oh goodness, I’ve been editing Stars and Justice is so…horrible to absolutely everyone. What Chessy sees in him I…[Read more]

@seekjustice What?  Zac isn’t the “bad boy” type?  He’s got iffy morals, gets drunk all the time, is crazily flirtatious with a girl he doesn’t even know, and hates his cousin because his cousin is “good”…and he’s not a bad boy?  I’m curious to know what your definition of a bad boy is, in that case. 😮 😛  I mean, yeah, he’s not in a gang and…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Well, I guess I always imagined him the way he is because when I first came up with the concept of his character, he was a lot like Dmitry, from Anatasia, and that guy, Derek Klena, is the actor who plays Dmitry on Broadway. So my brain just kind of linked them.

Robbie Amell is probably the last person I would have ever thought of…[Read more]

@seekjustice I pictured him darker and with shorter hair. Zac doesn’t seem a long, smooth hair guy to me, but a guy who would have short, slightly combed and slightly awry hair.  Maybe a younger version of Robbie Amell?

Also, I guess maybe the pictures you picked would be a little how I’d picture him when he first appears, all annoying and a…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Ah, I thought you’d like it *hands you a tissue*.

I’m curious as to how you pictured him now. That guy has always been “Zac” for me 😀
