@seekjustice, aren’t we all? Confused by our own writings I mean.

Hey, maybe he was flirting with her in the same way she flirted with him was so that she wouldn’t like him like that. Yep, thats my theory and I’m sticking with it

@alia Let me repeat! I wasn’t trying to get anyone to ship anyone through the window scene. Also I’m still confused by Justice’s attempts to flirt with Chessy because all attempts for anyone to flirt with him in the first book met with zero success.

The amount of things that confuse me about my own book confuses me.

@rochellaine

Well, Enjolras actually seems like a balanced mixture of no-nonsense, sense, briskness and actual…politeness. Justice lacks politeness. and sense. and basically everything other than revolutionary fervour.

In fairness, the original window scene was entirely a practical thing. A…[Read more]

@rochellaine, well I guess @seekjustice failed with getting me to ship them through the window scene, because I like them as friends and really hope Chessy gets over liking him and he gets over liking her because I really like them as friends, but not as a couple. I don’t know, its just something about them together doesn’t appeal to me

@valtmy

Your opinions on Justice? Did you like him or not?

(Did anyone like Justice excepting my sister?)

@rochellaine, wait, he didn’t? Never mind, ignore what I said then I thought he did and that annoyed me, but if it was all what other people saw then it makes sense and is fine.

(but I still didn’t like him as a person, that I know)

@rochellaine @alia

Oooh, I love conflicting opinions! 😛

Personally, I believe he was too emotionless in the first book and waaay too angsty in the second. Neither side of Justice quite captures the glory of Enjolras, which was what I was going for.

@rochellaine, I agree with you on the most part, but I just didn’t feel much realisticness from him in his own POV

@seekjustice, I get him appearing like that in someone else’s POV, but when it was like that in his too is when it started bothering me a bit.

Yeah, I don’t think they care much about honouring (yes auto correct there is a u in honour) their parents. 😉

great.

@alia

Yep, in a nutshell 😀

@alia

I think that’s the way he’s supposed to appear for the most part, but hopefully I’m making him more human in the second draft.

Well, I think that taken out of context it fits them both perfectly. They aren’t so much wanting to be better in order to honour their parents, though, but rather to prove themselves. So its a bit different, but…[Read more]

@seekjustice, @rochellaine, just to be clear, beta readers are kind of what y’all are doing with @valtmy ‘s and what you did with Seekjustice’s book, right? where you read it part by part and critique it?

@seekjustice, I didn’t really like Justice in book one either because I felt like he was a robot. He didn’t feel very realistic to me except for him not wanting anyone to die. But even that was more like he didn’t want anyone else to die.

Oh good, I thought for sure I was going crazy with that thought

@alia

Zac and Justice are both confusing full stop.

In some ways, I identified with Justice much more in the first book, but I’ll admit that I don’t really like his character in the second. I think he was just too different to the Justice we’d come to know in the first book and he kind of spiralled out of control.

Yeah, I think it does!…[Read more]

@seekjustice, @rochellaine, doesn’t the song Proud of Your Boy from Aladdin kinda reflect both Justice and Zac during the bar fight? not completely, but somewhat?

(it probably doesn’t but I’m listening to that broadway right now and that song just came on and so that thought lept into my brain)

@seekjustice, @rochellaine, I have to say, I liked Zac a lot better than Justice from the beginning. I mean, I knew he was going to turn out better, but even before he did I could see that he was acting the way he was as protection against getting hurt. Which made him opening up to Chessy so easily and quickly a bit confusing.

Justice was…[Read more]

@rochellaine @alia

I don’t mind being held accountable to you who are on the other side of the world, because I’m already accountable to my sister for Quillon and she’s in the same bedroom. If Quillon dies, I die too. 😀

I fluctuate between adoring Justice and absolutely hating him. He could possibly die if I’m in a bad mood.

And no, Chessy…[Read more]

@rochellaine, I don’t know. If she is willing to kill someone as wonderful as Jonas I think she is capable of anything…

@seekjustice

@seekjustice, uh huh, I’m holding you to that

Thats what I thought. I actually can’t remember if you even showed us Jonas’ death scene of if we just found out when Chessy (or Justice) did.

Oh, and I would have cried, but every time I started getting emotionally involved I kept getting called away until the tears were gone.
