Yes, Mr. Brocklehurst is absolutely horrible. I often wish I could shake some sense into a character, but it is very rare that I mentally strangle them. The way he twisted Scripture made me furious, not to mention his other crimes. Ugh!
*Realizes I was screaming*
*Calms down*
Anyway…
As for your question,…[Read more]

I’ve seen the cover of it, and it looks really intriguing! It’s on my to buy and read list😊.
If you like that kind of romantic friends lovers with awkward shy cute boy and oblivious girl thing, you’d probably like Avatar: The Last Airbender. Have you seen it? It’s a really amazing story and kids show — the only downside being all…[Read more]

I am so sorry, I almost forgot KP (of no fault of it’s own; life is still nuts).
I have read/listened to all but Lady Susan, Love and Friendship, and I think one other one. I read Persuasion, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sense ability, and Mansfield Park. I listened to most of those and Emma, Northanger Abbey, and… I think that’s…[Read more]

I have read/ listened to Jane Eyre. I enjoyed it and thought it was deeply intriguing and surprisingly sweet. Although in full confession, I didn’t really want Jane to marry Rochester. XD
But the end was satisfactory.
Helen is the absolute best! The worst character was that secretary of the school. I despised him.

How many sibling duos have I written? Oh boy, here we go …
*rubs hands together while chuckling*
So, I have a pair of fraternal twins in my current WIP, a girl and boy. (The boy is one of my main POVs.) Then I also have a pair of side characters who are brothers — I think they’re some of my favourite to write. Then my other main…[Read more]

Yes!! I am attempting to have a sort of adoption story in my Eirtan books, but it’s a bit different, (a subplot) dwelling on the complexities of identity and personal callings.
And wow, that was a mouthful! XD
Exactly! Mentor-appprentice relationships and dark pasts are just… delectable. *Happy moan*
I love those too!…[Read more]

Ooo! I love that too! In fact, I have such a duo in my book series … and they’re also estranged brothers. They’re like the two most boss warriors in the land!

Yes! Parent-child relationships are definitely one of my absolute favorites. And there’s always something special about adoption.

I devour mentor-apprentice relationships, especially when they both need each other, and even more especially when at least one has a painful past.
Then again, siblings are absolutely fantastic. I mean, where else do you get such wonderful loving contention? XD
I also love the friends-who-are-like-siblings-and-would-die-for-each-other. I know it…[Read more]

You guys like Super Smash Bros too? And Zelda Breath of the Wild?
Yay! I love both those games!
A bunch of different anime too. I recently binged K-On.

I once said something innocently that sounded like something completely else. I probably shouldn’t tell the whole story, but basically I was 13, all my adult siblings were in the room, and I said something that was meant to be encouraging but all of them took it in a more … *ahem* kind of way.
One of my older brothers laughed so har…[Read more]

Hi! I don’t think we’ve met. I’m Tráhia the Minstrel, here on the forum.
Yeah, I think those are some of the reasons I like writing bromances too.
Nice to meet you!

I love sibling relationships — I’m particularly fond of brother-brother relationships. Which is kinda funny, seeing as how I’m a girl.😂 I did have to two brothers, though, so it’s not like I have no experience in seeing this relationship play out. I also know a lot of brother-brother pairs in my friend group.
But yeah, I really…[Read more]

Trahia the Minstrel replied to the topic How Many Characters Should A Series Have? in the forum Characters 4 years, 6 months ago
It sounds like you’re writing epic fantasy — correct if I’m wrong — but if so having a larger cast isn’t bad. Read Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive series if you want to see a huge cast handled magnificently.
However, I would probably recommend that you keep the number of main protagonists to 3 or at the max 5 — just remember that…[Read more]

I’ve read Jane Eyre, I own both the actual book and the manga classic edition. I enjoy the story lots! Jane is a great character, and her relationship with Mr. Rochester is so sweet … and I loved the part at the start with her and Helen, as well. Made me quite sad/touched when I first read it.
St. John kinda annoys me, tho…[Read more]

This literally happened to me a few minutes ago.
I was being silly, and holding my Mum’s morning tea muffin aloft on a plate like Rafiki holds up Simba, while chanting The Circle of Life. I caught Mum’s attention as I held said plate aloft with two hands, and she gave me look like — as said by Adrian Plass — I’d announced a pig was d…[Read more]
