Are you guys around?

@catwing  Haha, same though. . .

Cool! I hope it goes well. 😉 G’night!

@catwing  Yeah, same here. Trying to finish an essay that was due two months ago. *cringes* That’s the trouble with being homeschooled: PROCRASTINATION.

Are you doing NaNoWriMo?

@rochellaine  Awww, man! That’s unfortunate. X(   Back at ya! XD (LOVE the emoji.)

@catwing  Thank ye, Cheshire Catwingie! How goes your day?

@catwing   @rochellaine  @valtmy  @anyone-else-who-may-be-present

I’ll write a bit! I’m not up for a word war, though. 😛 (And no, I’m not doing NaNo.)

@rochellaine

I recall reading some article somewhere about sentences which make sense in context but sound really weird/hilarious/nonsensical/criminal when they are just put out there by itself. That’s the sort of thing that happens when we put out the last sentence of our word wars 😛

@catwing

Hi, like I told @rochellaine I’ll be going out for a while so I won’t be able to word war but I will be able to chat if you want.

@rochellaine

The sentence stated that she felt regret, not pity. @seekjustice has read Part 2 so she would know who Hyunjoo is so the sentence might make more sense to her. Not that either of you would be able to really tell what’s going on. These kinds of sentences only make sense in context. 😛

But yes, I’ll be worried if Myeongwol has gotten…[Read more]

@rochellaine

A little, I guess. 🙂 But I’ll be going off for brunch in a bit. I will be able to talk to you still on this forum but I won’t be doing any more writing until afternoon.

Hahaha… Hyunjoo is the name of one of my characters. 😛

@rochellaine

I have 244.

She heard the sleeping Hyunjoo whimpering below and could not help the sickening swell of regret that bloomed in her chest.

@rochellaine

All right. 15 minutes?

@rochellaine

Chores remain the same no matter what part of the world we are. 😛 Well, my laundry is all nicely hung now so let me know when you return.

@rochellaine

Ah, yes. For my own characters, I usually choose their names based on the meaning and what is fitting (unless I really, really can’t think of anything in particular and go with something that just sounds nice). I had a blast researching the meaning of different Korean names.

Well, Myeongwol is still miserable as well so don’t worry…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Hi! Oh, it’s been a while since I last heard about Bathshua (that is still her name right? Because I thought you were thinking of changing it). How’s she doing? Still miserable?

Haha the concern you and @seekjustice have for what Myeongwol is up to is really cute. That sentence really had unfortunate implications, didn’t it? 😛 But…[Read more]

@seekjustice @rochellaine @jenwriter17 @catwing

(pokes head out)

Anyone around?

@seekjustice

I won’t be on today but will likely be tomorrow since there’ll be a day off. 😀

Just dropping by to clarify: No, of course Courageous won’t be whipping anyone into shape. I meant that Juqing could probably whip Courageous’ court into shape. That or just replace them all.

A happy ending? Oh dear, is that a spoiler? 😛

@seekjustice

Yeah, well, it’s just 3 chapters. Though I have written 7 chapters for ROF, I posted only the first 3. But, really, there was a difference in the writing? I thought my writing for QOD was similar to this. Maybe I’ve improved? 😛

Well, but it’s not as though courtly love is an actual force that governs the universe, right? So he…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Haha so what did you think of this old draft of mine?

Courageous court? What is that?

If Courageous would run away to Antarctica, wouldn’t that mean that he definitely wouldn’t like Juqing?

@seekjustice

All right then, let me know whether Courageous would be bullied by Shu Juqing, specifically, and whether he would actually like to have him as a brother. Or to have the Emperor as a father. 😛
