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]

@seekjustice Shame on me, but I’ve never actually read the original Robin Hood book.  My grandmother had it a few years ago, but I never got around to reading it and now I guess it must be in storage where a lot of her stuff was put when she moved.  So, my knowledge of the Robin Hood legend mostly comes from the RH opera and four or five old m…[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.

@jenwriter17 Okay…maybe you’re not quite heartless.  😛  I’ll think on it and get back to you with the verdict.

Hm, John in love with Marion too?  I considered that.  I’m not sure.  That would be pretty cliche, though, wouldn’t it?  You have just one female character in the story, so all the men are in love with her? 😉  I guess that could…[Read more]

@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! 😉

@seekjustice Well, I don’t like turning good guys into villains, but I have no problem with turning villains into good guys. 😛 So what I thought was…of course, first of all Prince John is good.  I needed a bad guy, so King Richard will be semi-bad.  I didn’t have too much of a problem with that because you don’t really get to know Richard as h…[Read more]

@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!!!!

@jenwriter17 I no longer think @seekjustice is the most heartless character-killer here.  You are worse, in that you actually gloat over it, while she at least is sorry for her characters.

😀 My characters are doing better, I think.  I’m having a bit of trouble with the hospital scenes, since I would normally ask my mom about medical stuff but s…[Read more]

@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.

@seekjustice Haha!  I do, I do.

What are you working on?  I had a really weird and complicated idea for a retelling of Robin Hood today…

@jenwriter17 Hello!  I’m not even gonna ask how your characters are doing.  Not even gonna. 😛

Um…how are your characters doing?

@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 😀
