Ah, I’m glad then.

Well, I’m not an expert either, but I have been poking around in Slavic stuff (especially Russian) for going on five years now, so I can at least find answers should you need them.

Like I’d probably go to you with WWII questions. There’s a lot of stuff there that I don’t enjoy dredging up. XD

Leo

Rory pulled the gloves from his pocket. Gave a nervous laugh. “Yeah, I have them. What do you want me to do? climb down the wall with them?”

“Yup.” Leo smiled and shrugged. “Unless you have a better idea. I’m not leaving you here, kid.”

Rory’s green eyes widened. The kid glanced towards the window and shuddered. No won…[Read more]

6 snowballs…? Wow, Whaley. That’s… intense. XD

@freed_and_redeemed

EeEeeeEeeeee!!!!!!

I think I love this book already.

One thing I noticed…if these are Slavic names in Slavic culture, they aren’t quite right. Dmitry Volkova is feminine; Dmitry Volkov is masculine. Even as a surname, I believe the name gender changes, although I’m not sure if Sofiya’s name changes…but I think so. Also,…[Read more]

WAAMMMM.

*Snowballs fly*

*Gasps* *sputters*

*Moans*

Brin glared at his brothers, Volks tall and strong who should have known better.

“Dah dah, I know. But as I don’t intend to die and be thrown to the sea, it won’t matter, nyet?”

Krazsimir growled, folded his arms. “You’re a loyal volk, Brin, and a fighter. We need you here. We can still turn…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

If it was for an assignment, there’s little hope that it actually stays in my brain. XD

Hm. That is really interesting to think about. I, for one, am glad there are so many viking burials. Especially the ones with ships.

Well, I have pretty much finished a civil war ensemble (all layers ect.) except for boots/shoes and a bonnet…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Awesome. I’ll start digging this evening.

Right off the top of my head I know that WWI and the reformed American patent system both majorly contributed to technology, which changed the face of entertainment for the 1900’s. I’ll try to find where I know that from.

Archeology, that dear little side dream. I started getting interest…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Ah, 1900-1950’s. What type of resource/information do you want? I may not know it, but I can help find it.

(I love history. My question: any other archeology nerds?)

@loopylin

Alrighty then, I’ll definitely have to check it out. =D

@ellette-giselle

Ooo, that does sound interesting. I’m gonna have to go see if I can find it.

@mineralizedwritings @loopylin

Snowball!!!!!

(If you can)

@ellette-giselle

*Splutter* Texans weren’t made for this much snow!

Three more steps. Calion stood gazing over the edge into the chasm below. A river threaded it’s way down there, cutting a blue seam through a rolling green wood. A mile, two, down. A misty cloud rolled by, blocking the view and pulling his gaze back to the jagged edge just a…[Read more]

@liberty

GAHHHHH *falls backward wildly scrubbing snow from my face*

Thirty miles off the coast of Norway. Waves crash against the Kampørn’s prow. The styrimaðr leaned his full weight against the helm to fight the churning. His eyes strained against the spray for his first glimpse of home. He grit his teeth. Swallowed the spay. Called for the s…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Oh popycock. For one thing I actually quite liked your story. For another, style isn’t that big of a deal. It’s mostly a challenge to make every word count.

But I understand if you don’t join. Some writers don’t enjoy that challenge as much as others, or whatever. *Shrug* XD

@whalekeeper

Oooo, yes! Like I said, I adore this stuff.

@elishavet-pidyon

*Squeals back* Doesn’t it? =D

(Ooooo…I did not think of this)

Do you…eh…want me to rescue them? Live sort of ambushed me for a little while.

(oooooops)

@ellette-giselle

Good good!! A poignant ending, bittersweet but victorious.

Ah, I still think you could do something even shorter if you didn’t introduce it, but that’s also part of your writing style, I think, so I won’t prod.
