All my story ideas tend to be fantasy/historical pieces set in Asian cultures. My WIP is based on Korea, another project is on China and I have a story idea that is based on the nomadic sea tribes in Southeast Asia. I want to come up with one for Japan too since I am prolific watcher of anime but I guess I’ll have to see how it…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Hmm… I’m not really sure what period is my favourite because I don’t really study history all that much… Maybe the Age of Enlightenment in the 1700s? Because that period has some of the monarchs I find the most fascinating like Frederick the Great, Maria Theresa and Catherine the Great.

I also like the Prohibition era in the US…[Read more]

@valtmy I meant what is considered the modern period of history, from about the 1600s to the present.  I don’t like ancient history much, and don’t know much about the middle ages so I was wondering what was your favorite period out of the section of history I study the most.

My favorite period is from about 1912-1970. 😀  But I have a few o…[Read more]

Haha that’s how I do things as well. For my WIP, the setting is based of historical Korea but considering the tone of my story I guess I can get away with some inaccuracies. But this time I have done research and found pictures of the clothes (called hanboks) that my characters wear in the story.

Um… what do you mean…[Read more]

@seekjustice Standards for modesty depended a lot on the time of day and the place or event.  Ball gowns have always been less modest than everyday clothing.  So has swimwear.  Women didn’t swim with men during that period, but if you go forward fifty years to the 1890s-1900s, which I know more about, you see that walking dresses covered up to th…[Read more]

Hey guys I’m on now. 🙂

Wow this is interesting. I’ve read Regency and Victorian era books before but never really thought about the fashion before.

@seekjustice Oh, do you like ballet?  I wouldn’t have thought so.

The Victorian era had very interesting standards of modesty. 😉  Showing your ankle was considered obscene and scandalous, and yet showing shoulders and even a bit of cleavage was common during certain events.  I don’t think it would be appropriate for going out in the daytime, bu…[Read more]

@seekjustice Well, I am watching a bit of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake on YouTube.  I found a version where they don’t die in the end, but kill the villain instead. 😀  I think I probably needed that after being reminded of Zac tonight. 😉

Hm, I don’t like Victorian fashion much, but go ahead, shoot, and I’ll see if I can help.

@ariel-ashira C…[Read more]

@seekjustice Aw. 🙂 Well, I’m here now. 😀  What are we going to talk about tonight?

@seekjustice I’m back. 🙂  Is everyone else gone?

@seekjustice I’ll be back in a little while.

@alia I would picture it sort of like the sod shanties or dugouts from Little House on the Prairie.  Those are like cottages, but they are a bit disguised.

@alia Yes, like the Bible says, evil is thought good, and good is thought evil. 🙁  It’s quite possible for guys to be “cool” without being bad, but a lot of people don’t realize that. 😛

@seekjustice Quillon is really sweet.  Forgive me, but even with his strength in protecting Sapphire I think he’s not quite as strong as Justice or Zac (…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira Yes, I think the term can be used as a sort of endearment, but I don’t think I was too harsh in my assessment.  SeekJustice rather was. 😛  Since “bad” has been getting worse in modern society, what’s considered just a normal, cute and rule-bending guy, by non-Christians I would consider to be a pretty awful person, probably.  Li…[Read more]

And…a random announcement because I just want people who go through and read all these posts to know…

I don’t like Zac because of his “bad boy” character traits.  I despised him when I started to read the book, and thought he was an annoying and horrible person.  I like him because he got better and changed, and at the end of the book is no l…[Read more]

@seekjustice Okay, I wonder if it’s an American thing?  Usually when I hear the term “bad boy” it’s used to define the rule-bender who doesn’t believe in much but is very charismatic and the girls fall for him quick as a wink.  I could be wrong about this, let’s ask @jenwriter17 😛

The other guys…oh, don’t even mention Dorian Gray.  He’s too ba…[Read more]

@seekjustice What?  Zac isn’t the “bad boy” type?  He’s got iffy morals, gets drunk all the time, is crazily flirtatious with a girl he doesn’t even know, and hates his cousin because his cousin is “good”…and he’s not a bad boy?  I’m curious to know what your definition of a bad boy is, in that case. 😮 😛  I mean, yeah, he’s not in a gang and…[Read more]

@seekjustice I pictured him darker and with shorter hair. Zac doesn’t seem a long, smooth hair guy to me, but a guy who would have short, slightly combed and slightly awry hair.  Maybe a younger version of Robbie Amell?

Also, I guess maybe the pictures you picked would be a little how I’d picture him when he first appears, all annoying and a…[Read more]

@seekjustice Why did he have to die!!!!!

@seekjustice Oh my goodness.  OH my GOODNESS!!! *sobs* oh, wow.

I nearly cried, seriously, but couldn’t because I was also smiling. 😉  I love all the quotes.  Zac looks a little different than I pictured him, but I can live with that. 😛

Oh, wow. *sniffs*
