It’s not letting me drop the links. Ugh.

@felicity

Alright! It is now on my wishlist. =)

It is wonderful fun! I’d recommend starting with your base layers (chemise drawers, corset, petticoats…all the ‘unmentionables’), that way you can get a feel for how the patterns and fabric work without worrying about messing something up. The base layers will be covered, so if the sewing looks…[Read more]

Whoa. I haven’t done a lot of WWII research, but those make me want to stick my nose in there too.

Is this it?

@felicity

I’ll have to check that out! One kingdom in my current WIP is based off the Slavic nations. More Rus tribes then others at the moment as that’s where I’ve done more research, so I need to branch out.

Yes! I am working on my first actual kit, an American 1861 day dress (I have all but the dress itself and accessories done), but I love…[Read more]

@felicity

Oooo, that sounds amazing!

I’m currently researching the medieval Rud tribes, medieval Celt and Gaelic nations, modern militaries, and civil war dress. (The first three are for one series, the last for historical sewing)

However, I fell down a rabbit hole yesterday (what I can random research) and ended up with American Jewish…[Read more]

And now to invite some citizens of this kingdom.

@sarafini

I can gush about these too! (And yes, I think that’s the right word)

Hmm, I have a friend who can’t stand Julian, but I always liked her like I do Jay. I don’t mind Jason and Jillian together, but only now since she’s revealed. It would have been weird and totally out of character before. And kinda random, but how old is Jason? I don’t…[Read more]

Hello! I’m Koshka, a writer of non-magical medieval-fantasy and other stuff. I got on KP as soon as I got a phone, at sixteen.

So, I haven’t read any of the rest of this thread, but *gasp* you play violin?!?? *Undignified squeal of delight* What do you like to play? How long have you been playing? What method did you learn with? I’m…[Read more]

@esther-c

I’m not currently a his-fic writer, but I am a history nerd research addict, so history sort of works it’s way into my books. (Although most of my research has to do with historical reenacting/costuming, or medieval history) Anyway, I saw this topic and couldn’t pass it up. XD

That sounds like a good start! I like your character ideas,…[Read more]

@sarafini

Welcome to the kingdom! Around here I am Koshka, a writer of non-magical medieval-fantasy, random peotry, and other stuff. A lot of other stuff.

And I haven’t taken the time to read through the rest of this thread, so I may ask a question already made but anyway…

AIO!!!! Have you listened to Twenty-Eight hours? Ah, fan scrips. My…[Read more]

Here’s some more of my ellf- *cough* alve. 😉

Oh, and whenever I say dancing, I mean frolicking and skipping, if that makes sense.

Inglor

The trees whispered in a soft breeze. He brushed a leaf from his silver-gold hair then paused, watching it drift slowly to the ground before moving on.  The sunlight flickered merrily…[Read more]

@wilder-w

Oh no!!!! *Sob*

@wilder-w @freedomwriter76

We can hurry this a bit. =)

Amarrin

He held open the door as Ruben helped Hope into the back seat. It was a bit high.

The older boy, who he’d heard called Leo, ran a hand down the side of the…car. “Is this a…”

Almarrin smiled and climbed into the front. “Hold on, this isn’t a smooth ride.

It had been a few…[Read more]

Question: Should Almarrin drive an old car, or a vehicle strangely remenecent of a humvee?

Almarrin

For a second he stared at the name, memorizing each letter. Then he made sure Hope was comfortable on the bench outside the nurse’s office. It was dark inside; apparently the nurse h…[Read more]

@sarafini

Yes! There are many ways to retell a fairytale without manic. In fact, one of my favorite Cinderella retellings is based in a non-magical fantasy world. Fairytales aren’t about magic, even the slightly out there ones like Goose girl. Instead of using fairies or other magical people’s you can use real people. Stories told this way can…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Wow! I never realized that either. Are you planning to self publish? (I’m not sure yet)

Stories swirled the air, stirring up memories I’d long locked away. I stared down at the hands folded in my lap, tracing the feel of each bony knuckle. The fingers were long and talon like but much too white for a bird. I closed them tight.

Those things…I’d seen them happen. Sometimes…[Read more]

The story, I’d heard the like all her life. One child came in with a broken heart and left with a pain killer. What I hadn’t expected was the end. So I sit in mute silence as the impact of what was said flows over me.

The door flies open, shattering the peace of the room like glass. I…[Read more]
