@xonos-darkgrate  I am ashamed. . . *cowers*

Heheh, be glad to. *smirks*

The Writerly Adventures of Jenna Trapperton

Basically it’s like a roleplay, except KP instead of The Aetherlight. I (SPOILER ALERT) gave the KP Aetherlighters an appearance, too, so. . . ya.

I’m sure your servant was honored to have his photo taken and displayed for all…[Read more]

@xonos-darkgrate  In my excitement, I hadn’t considered that. How silly of me. . . 😛

Hey, I’m glad I’m not the only one with virtually billions of unfinished story blurbs! Those drive me nuts. . . Pretty much the only thing I’ve ever finished so far is the KPA (which if you haven’t read yet, I think you oughta. . .).

@xonos-darkgrate

*paws on hips*

WELL IT’S ABOUT TIME! Welcome back to the bestest place in Cyberspace, dude!! 😀 😀

I am seeing your face. I am freaking out. . . o.o Apologies, it’s just. . . Whoa.  Anyway, great to have you back!!

@warrenluther04  Haha, I totally understand. Okay, that’s good! Hope you get everything figured out!  😉

@catwing  Are you still working on Catwing Christmas these days? 🙂

@warrenluther04  Soooooooo. . . Are you going to continue writing Dog in KP?

@ariel-ashira  Xonos Darkgrate once made a topic about swear words. Maybe it has what you’re looking for, maybe not. . . See how it works for you! 🙂

@ariel-ashira

Hmm I’m not too sure about this myself.

I understand wanting to make sure that your dialogue reflects reality. I suppose one way to include such swearing without stumbling others is to make sure that you are simply portraying the swearing as part of the characterisation but not as a good or acceptable thing.

In actuality, I don’t…[Read more]

I’ll be here a while.

@seekjustice @rochellaine @jenwriter17

Anyone around?

@seekjustice

It’s ok. It was getting towards the end of the day for you right? 😛

I’m up early so I have a little time but I have to go off for work soon.

@seekjustice

Haha. I noticed that my story set-ups are always such that they look like romance novels when they are really, really not romance novels.

For this story idea, I’m thinking of a book series that covers different but related murder cases and culminates into a finale that addresses the overarching story and mystery. The whole a…[Read more]

@seekjustice

*sigh* I hate reading “But you’re a woman!” scenes so if I have to write one myself, I’d rather not write the story at all. And I really have no interest in tackling all the issues of the period like war, revolution, industrialization, colonialism… I mean, I just want to write a murder mystery, not a social critique.

Yeah, I have…[Read more]

I went to check. Marie Curie lived from 1867 – 1934 in Poland and France. She went to boarding school as a girl but but was rejected by regular institutions for higher education because she was a woman. Instead she went to a clandestine Flying University, a Polish patriotic institution of higher learning that admitted female…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Haha but if I make my MC an upper class woman you wouldn’t like her, would you? 😛

I’m trying to see if there’s any place and period in history where it wouldn’t be so unheard of to have a woman to be educated and working as a procurator. I’m thinking maybe the early modern period because I think that’s when women began going to…[Read more]

@seekjustice

I have heard of the Brother Cadfael mysteries but never read them before. Are they available to be read online?

One thing that is stopping me from really considering this story idea, though, has to do with deciding on the setting. I want the setting to be based on a society that is historical but also one that is relatively…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Haha that’s good to know.

Unfortunately, the other historical adventure/fantasy story idea I currently have has to do with upper class characters as well. But I have another historical story idea that is sort of like a mystery/detective story. I’m thinking that it will be about a procurator who is charged with the investigation and…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Goodnight!

@seekjustice

Haha but would you be interested in reading my WIP anyway? My MC hits pretty much every point you’ve made. She’s noble, rich, whiny and uh… wishes that she is in a romance novel instead of the story that I’m writing. But she won’t remain noble and rich for long 😉

@rochellaine

Oh. I suppose there’s Southern Belles in other time periods which I probably never noticed.

Ah, that’s true. European serfdom completely slipped my mind for a moment. Funny how much the Atlantic slave trade has shaped the common perception of slavery even though it happened through a much shorter period in history, right?
