I may or may not have just stalked this entire thread *cough*

XD These things are face-splittingly funny 😀 😛 😛

@daeus that thing you said a long time ago about the light… that’s an idea that’s always fascinated me. Several scientists have actually theorized that we really do actually all see color differently, because of difference in our…[Read more]

@dekreel, Frances Hodgson Burnett wrote The Secret Garden, A Little Princess, etc. Louisa May Alcott wrote Little Women.

And yes, I’m Australian. 🙂

@sam-kowal I like writing fantasty, but mostly write historical fiction. My WIP is set in WWII.

@hope and @daeus both have. Hope even created the Kindle version of the Best of 2016 KP eBook we created last year. 🙂

@daeus Yeah, I kinda know you…because of everything on KP, and I just recently signed up for your Show don’t tell course. Thanks for the welcome!

Heloooooo! Does anyone have any sci-fi book recommendations? I don’t think I own one sci-fi book and there’s an empty space on my………oh, wait…….well, I just wanna try some sci-fi! 😊

@bethanys.inky.roses. Hi! It’s so great to be here!

@daeus She was a queen from Narvarre during the French War of Religion… a tiny little land adjoining Spain and France, which is today a part of France. Queen Catherine de Medici pestered her country constantly because she was Protestant and the rest of France was not. Queen Jeanne’s courage is…[Read more]

@mariposa @daeus @dragon-snapper @skredder @radically-surrendered @sam-kowal Wow, #3 and #4 seem to be stealing the show! Thanks for your votes guys 😉

@daeus Go England!

@that_writer_girl_99 If you research the Battle of Agincourt, I think. Or just the One Hundred Years War you’re likely to stumble across mentions of longbowmen prowess.

I think it is worth mentioning the crossbow as an alternative to the bow. I don’t know how much you no about them so. Rather than arrows they use short bolts.…[Read more]

A lot of you have been asking how the KPA is going

Well…

So yeah, that’s how it’s going… *gloomy sigh*

Guys, I am SO sorry this is taking forever! I realized from seeing how other people have written Kapeefer literature that I have over-planned mine. Besides, I have a HUGE plot hole (STILL! grrrrr) So I’m going to set down my current…[Read more]

@Daeus yes!

@that_writer_girl_99 I agree with @daeus that the English longbowmen were amazing.  This is my favorite description of a demonstration of the use of the longbow.

It is from a book by G. A. Henty called By Right of Conquest (About the conquests of Cortez) and is in the public domain, so I copied it from gutenberg.org to a google document.  An Eng…[Read more]

@bella-d And I’m thrilled you’re thrilled I know who those authors are! 🙂 Do you like Jeanne d’Albret because of reading the Chosen Daughters series?  My favorite in that series was Margaret Wilson in Against The Tide.

Have you read any books by Lois Walfrid Johnson, Robert Elmer, or R. M. Ballantyne?

@notawriter and @daeus Thanks!  My bra…[Read more]

Hi @daeus!

I’ve noticed the appetite for fantasy. My (current) favorite historical character is Queen Jeanne d’Albret.

@that_writer_girl_99

Yay! The topic I wanted to write about today! @daeus nailed the various types of swords (excluding some of the more strange swords, ie. Messers, Falchion, etc.).

I’ve recently gotten into HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) and have done quite a bit of research for sparring with friends. I am mostly interested in German…[Read more]

I’ve actually read that article, ha. @daeus

Ummm… *sighs* Okay. The swordsmen in my WIP use them to fight monsters, so…um, I know nothing and if you could maybe just start with explaining the different kinds of swords?

@daeus Anything you can give me on swords, fighting styles, etc. will definitely be helpful.

@daeus @mnvalentine Thank you!
