Yeah, the stereotype really annoys me, though I don’t really have any idea how much truth is in the stereotype.

@seekjustice I see. Well…two true-life examples I can think of are Martha Washington and Agnes Lee. Martha Washington would probably not be defined as a “Southern belle” since she was Revolutionary era, and the idea of Southern belles started around the time of the Civil War, but she was from the South, and beautiful, and sweet, so I’m c…[Read more]

Elsie Dinsmore and I’ve read about other books, such as Gone with the wind and I also have read things like Lottie Moon. I found her annoying until she went to China.

@seekjustice I’m still here. 🙂
What Southern belle characters have you read? Elsie Dinsmore? 😛

Hello! Are you still around? I’m not working on anything but I’m happy for a chat.
Gone with the Wind is one of the classics I haven’t read. But I’ve never really wanted to, especially as Southern belle type characters tend to put me off. I think its set in the South?

@valtmy Yishay’s song… 😛 Well, it’s not the whole song. I think his feelings are similar to the ending of “Soliloquy” from Carousel where the lyrics are “She’s gotta be sheltered and fed and dressed in the best that money can buy…I’ll go out and make it(money) or steal it or take it or die!”
I feel like I’m giving something away, but yo…[Read more]

@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!

@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]

@dekreel 😀 😀
Procrastination is the best…and the worst. Right? 😛
I’m doing pretty well. I have some interesting subjects in law school this year, so I’m enjoying that.
How’s your writing coming along? And how is Story Embers? I assume you knew already, but I just found out a few days ago that I am the single, sole person left here who…[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?

DEKREEEEEEEL!!! Little wolf! How are you? “Alive” doesn’t give much information. Are you “very much alive?” “partially alive?” “alive and kicking?”
Please enlighten me as to the state of your health and happiness.
