@dekreel So, @sam-kowal mentioning historical science fiction by Jules Verne reminded me that one of the most well-known science fiction series ever is the Tom Swift series by Edward Stratemeyer.  The first series was written in the early 1900s, and was a huge success, but most of the inventions Tom made have now been made in real life, such as t…[Read more]

@ariella-newheart Yep! XD It’s me, the old D.G.O.

@dekreel If you don’t mind my asking, have you joined the Aetherlight yet? 😀

@notawriter I’m obviously not @aislinn-mollisong (and if you wanted her answer, not mine, just ignore the sentence below) but I can tell you what the Aetherlight is! It’s a Christian computer game that retells the story…[Read more]

I keep flip-flopping between loving Ike to pieces, and wanting to smack him upside the head with his own book.

Oh goodness, yes that is so true!!! XD XD XD @dekreel @aislinn-mollisong Ike is awesome. XD *hits him with a book* *says she’s sorry for all the other terrible things that happen to him* *another book*

@dekreel

From the Earth to the Moon is sort of historical science fiction, by Jules Verne. Pretty much anything by him is great science fiction.

Also, there’s Starship Troopers… even though Daeus had a less than favorable review of that XD

H.G. Wells is another really good science fiction author, you could check out his books

@dekreel Definitely read the Robot Wars by Sigmund Brouwer!  They are the best!!

In the series’ original publishing under the title Mars Diaries (which is the version we have) they were set in 2040.  When I first read them it kind of freaked me out that all that might happen so soon. 😀  I don’t know if they changed the time to a later time now…[Read more]

@dekreel

Anyway, I have to disappear now. See you later! Thanks for editing (and getting distracted with me)

@dekreel It will be the end of the WORLD as we know it!!
Hey…………….no! The scandal! They wouldn’t dare!!

@dekreel

Yes and literature would probably die a very sad…and painful death.

@dekreel ah, I see! Yes…they still probably would.

I have honestly never thought about it.

Okay…I have literally just looked up nose shapes and I think that Greek noses and turned up noses are most attractive.

@christi-eaton sorry, I haven’t either

@dekreel I can’t think of any sci-fi books at the moment (unless dytopian is considered sci-fi. if it is, I’d recommend the Out of Time series by Nadine Brandes). I’ll definitely let you know if I think of any…

@dekreel Maybe one day….when I’ve written all my other stories, I’ll give it a go.

They probably would, let’s be honest, except that each of us girls would have different preferences for the best type of nose, so the love triangles might turn out differently.

@dekreel

I have failed *hangs head in shame*

On a more serious note, we should start a subgenre of KP literature in which we doggedly follow all of Josiah’s advice (and all of Daniel’s too, of course).

@dekreel

Oh that’s true. I’d forgotten Them-That-Know-Everything-And-Are-Kind-Enough-To-Instruct-Us-Mere-Mortals! they put me to shame with their last video, since I had forgotten to describe my love interest’s nose in my dystopian novel 😀

@dekreel Thank you! I like it quite a lot too!

Oh dear. *frowns disapprovingly*. ;D

@dekreel It’s called Rose Mask at the moment, and I’m actually having a lot of fun making sarcastic comments on it.

Yay! I love when we get to the exciting bits!! I’m just up to the climax now too, so that’s exciting!

@dekreel, somewhere between 40 and 60 dollars I think. You can use it free for thirty days first though.

@dekreel I’m good thanks!! And you?

I’m editing a little novella of my which is a Beauty and the Beast retelling!

@dekreel are you still there? I’m editing!

@aislinn-mollisong @dekreel It’s writing software, like Microsoft word only 1000x better 😉 See the link: https://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener/overview
