@seekjustice Hm, that doesn’t sound good. 😛

I was supposed to give you a list of his-fics with heroines who aren’t rich and snobby, wasn’t I?  Would that make the day go better? 😉

@catwing @jenwriter17 Sorry I missed you! 🙁

@seekjustice I’m on now for just a little bit, then I might be on later too.

How’s it going?

@seekjustice @dekreel @catwing @jenwriter17 @valtmy

I’m here for a bit.  Anyone interested in joining me?

@seekjustice I cannot see Chessy as a mother. 😛  A fun aunt, yes, but a mother?  Well, I guess she’d be a good mother if she did have kids, I just can’t see her as one right now. 😉

What other guy would actively assist someone else who was planning to take over the kingdom which should by inheritance be his own?

Well, maybe I’ll be able to w…[Read more]

@seekjustice I’ve read several series which had second, third, or more additional series along the same timeline with references to the same characters.  To name a few, Gilbert Morris, Robin Jones Gunn, and Lauraine Snelling were all very successful with that.  I don’t think it’s a problem, since if people like your books they’ll want to keep l…[Read more]

@seekjustice Well, if I ever decided to fully study it, I’d probably become more interested in it, since I’m usually very invested in what I intentionally study.  Right now it’s pretty confusing, but I get the gist of what you’re saying. 😉

I was reading your blog post earlier, and wondering, since you want to make the Infinity series a trilogy,…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yeah, I definitely know what you mean. 😛  There are some people who think it would be a perfect tragedy to be not able to talk to someone for five minutes.

Hm, well, that’s not exactly what I meant.  I mean, what if your character’s arc was that he learned to take things as they come, and not expect things to be in little boxes?  Wo…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Well, I don’t like them because I don’t trust them, and I think they kind of limit people.  I feel like if you tell someone “Hey, you’re an introvert!” they’ll think about it, then they’ll believe you, and they won’t ever try to be an extrovert.  They’ll just think, “Oh, I’m an introvert, I don’t have to go out and meet people.”  So…[Read more]

@seekjustice You should definitely read the novel.  The Princess Bride happens to be one of the very few stories with which the movie and book are equally good.  But the book is very different from the movie.

Well…I’m wondering where the love/hate relationship with the movie comes from, in that case? 😛  Glad you don’t think ridiculous is ne…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Oh, no I haven’t answered yet.  I think you asked me right as I was leaving one night, and I didn’t get a chance to reply.

So, let’s see…

Oklahoma! (1955) by Rogers and Hammerstein is really good.  The antagonist is rather scary, but I think you said your siblings have watched mildly scary stuff before, right?

Singin’ in the Ra…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Daughter of Judas. 😉 How about you?

@seekjustice Have you ever read the book?

Also…huge question here: When did ridiculous become a negative thing?

@jenwriter17 @seekjustice I got distracted reading about The Princess Bride, but I’m back now. 😉

@seekjustice @valtmy @alia @catwing @dekreel Anyone around tonight?

@seekjustice

It’s ok. It was getting towards the end of the day for you right? 😛

I’m up early so I have a little time but I have to go off for work soon.

@seekjustice

Haha. I noticed that my story set-ups are always such that they look like romance novels when they are really, really not romance novels.

For this story idea, I’m thinking of a book series that covers different but related murder cases and culminates into a finale that addresses the overarching story and mystery. The whole a…[Read more]

@seekjustice

*sigh* I hate reading “But you’re a woman!” scenes so if I have to write one myself, I’d rather not write the story at all. And I really have no interest in tackling all the issues of the period like war, revolution, industrialization, colonialism… I mean, I just want to write a murder mystery, not a social critique.

Yeah, I have…[Read more]

I went to check. Marie Curie lived from 1867 – 1934 in Poland and France. She went to boarding school as a girl but but was rejected by regular institutions for higher education because she was a woman. Instead she went to a clandestine Flying University, a Polish patriotic institution of higher learning that admitted female…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Haha but if I make my MC an upper class woman you wouldn’t like her, would you? 😛

I’m trying to see if there’s any place and period in history where it wouldn’t be so unheard of to have a woman to be educated and working as a procurator. I’m thinking maybe the early modern period because I think that’s when women began going to…[Read more]

@seekjustice

I have heard of the Brother Cadfael mysteries but never read them before. Are they available to be read online?

One thing that is stopping me from really considering this story idea, though, has to do with deciding on the setting. I want the setting to be based on a society that is historical but also one that is relatively…[Read more]
