Given the historical genre’s obsession with the upper class, I doubt you can find many historical fictions that you would like.

Oh. The main criticism I’ve heard against Southern Belle books have a lot to do with racism and slavery etc. so I’ve always associated Southern Belles with the Antebellum South. Never really heard of Southern Belles outside that time period.
Hmm now that I think about it, my MC is sort of an East Asian ‘Southern Belle’ because…[Read more]

Haha all right then.
I don’t think I know a lot of Southern Belle characters. I’ve watched the film for Gone with the Wind once and that’s about it. I didn’t like Scarlett, of course, but it was obvious that Scarlett wasn’t supposed to be looked up to as a role model or anything like that so I was fine with it.
I actually think of…[Read more]

Bye!
Haha, yes, it’s obvious. By the way have you figured out what you want to do with that plot point?
The Southern Belle character type suffers a lot of historical baggage. I suppose it has to do with the period in which Southern Belle books were written.

@rochellaine Well, I’m not too fond of Scarlett, but overall, it’s a very well-written, profound book. I love how the author pays attention to detail. The society, the world and the emotions feel so real, it’s nearly palpable. Overall I give it a 6 out of 10.
I need to get off. I might be back later tonight. See you guys later!

Yes, I am on SE under the same username but I do not go there very often. I hardly have time to come here to KP nowadays, much less SE. 🙁
Hey, we didn’t manage to continue our conversation yesterday. So what is Yishay’s song anyway?

@rochellaine That’s a great way of putting it. . .
My writing is. . . okay. . . I’m considering writing a steampunk novel sometime in the future. Maybe a steampunk retelling of Gone with the Wind. That would be cool.
I’m not on Story Embers as often as I should, so I can’t give a clear answer. What I do know is that it’s thriving.
Wait,…[Read more]

@rochellaine Hello, old friend!! I shall forgive your calling me “little wolf” because I miss you. 😉
*blinks* Oh, I’m alive. I’m alive all right. Albeit distant. Yeah, let’s call it that: Alive yet distant. 0.o
I’m doing fine. School’s been killing me and I’m really bad with procrastinating. . . But. . . yeah. Yeah, I’m okay. How’ve you been?

Haha what song is that?
I don’t think I have songs for specific characters. But I have a whole musical’s worth of songs which inspired the “theatre” aspect of my WIP, a song for the “main couple” and another listing of soundtracks for the general mood and feel of the story.

Hey.
Well, to be honest, it’s been really tough. Things have been busy at work, which doesn’t leave a lot of time for writing my WIP. I’m having trouble getting into the writing mood so I’m listening to the soundtracks that inspired my WIP in the first place to try to reignite my love for my WIP.
