@jenwriter17  YAAAAAAAAY!

I’m excited for you!! I can’t wait to read your posts!

@seekjustice  I would be surprised if we didn’t have breakfast pizza.  I don’t recall hearing of it before, though.  The thing is, America is a blending of such diverse cultures that we have many different types and versions of foods for all the different meals and snacks.  Sure, people will give you main foods that are popular among Ame…[Read more]

@seekjustice Ah…no, I meant that I found the conversation hilarious.  But then, I find almost every conversation we have here hilarious, so that’s nothing new. 😉

@alia I wouldn’t say they’re a full romance series.  The first two books have absolutely no romance in them at all, since the series starts when she’s 14 and the series ends s…[Read more]

@seekjustice @alia Oh, this is hilarious. 😛

By the way, my go-to for flirting examples is always the Patty Fairfield series by Carolyn Wells.  Wells writes flirtation so well!!  Should I post an example for you? (by the way, I’ve never written flirting, so my plans for writing it are all theoretical. 😉 )

I just got distracted reading all our o…[Read more]

I guess I can accept that but I would really like for the reason why these people are following this fellow who is clearly less wise than them to be explained in the story. Maybe when Jonas and Chessy are talking after he asks her whether she likes Justice, Jonas can mention that.

Speaking of characters that are bad at…[Read more]

@alia During the first book I got pretty annoyed with Chessy for falling for an unbeliever.  That situation was resolved in the second book, and because I began to feel more sorry for Justice, (and because of the window scenes,) I didn’t mind them getting together.  I really thought she was going to go for Zac more, though.  I would have… 😛 We…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Instead of saving rich people, Justice could save those that were wrongly condemned.

Oh and I see you asked me to answer the questions that you have put at the end of WIIE. Do you want me to answer here or in the doc?

@seekjustice

Oh right another thing I forgot to mention. There was this part where Chessy was saying that Justice could get others to respect but not love him. That was true but something about it also confused me. There were other revolutionaries like Quillon and Jonas that seem mature so I was struggling to understand why they would go along…[Read more]

@alia Well, window scenes don’t mean as much to you as they do to me. 😉  I tell my sister, “If some guy ever asks you how to make me like him, tell him to talk to me through a window.” 😛  I don’t know, there’s just something really romantic about window scenes, to me.  Mostly from the Patty Fairfield series.

@seekjustice I don’t know the ba…[Read more]

@seekjustice

I like him as a character. I think what you’ve done with him is interesting. As a person though… I find him really cold and stiff in SFI. I don’t know what Chessy sees in him. I think it runs in the family. Chessy, Sapphire, Jean… they all seem to have really bad taste and judgment when it comes to relationships. I don’t think h…[Read more]

@seekjustice Remember, @jenwriter17 shipped Justice and Chessy, so she must have liked him a bit. 😉

(speaking to your comment to @valtmy )

@seekjustice I don’t think he needs to be a copy of another character.  Like we discussed once, your characters are mix and matches of all the different characters from the original.  So if the “glory of Enjolras” as you call it, doesn’t get fully portrayed in Justice, maybe some of it shows up in the other characters.

The characters that are e…[Read more]

@seekjustice @rochellaine @alia

Hey guys. I’m here now.

Ooh a discussion on SFI which I can actually participate in now…

@alia He didn’t have his own POV in book one, so that’s not a problem, right? 😉  In book two, we were introduced to a man broken by the deaths of nearly all his followers who was struggling with his newfound faith and his impossibly horrible memories.  I felt the drastic change was very realistic, especially once we got to know his backstory.  So…[Read more]

@seekjustice Actually, contrary to what @alia said, I felt Justice was very realistic.  He was stiff, and I pretty much despised him, but I despised him as a human, not as a badly written character, because I thought he was very well written.

I hope you don’t humanize him too much in the revisions, because it would ruin his character.

Little…[Read more]

@alia  Well, you see, she didn’t love Jonas as much as she loved Quillon.  I love Jonas better than Quillon, and Zac better than Justice, but she’s chosen Quillon as her favorite, and none of the other men mean nearly as much to her as Quillon does.

I am in complete agreement with you, but if the author loves Quillon, the author must be allowed t…[Read more]

@seekjustice I have a confession.  I didn’t actually cry at Zac’s death.

Partly it was because, like @alia said, I kept getting called away and when I finally got to the end I wasn’t immersed in the story as I should have been.  The other reason was probably because I already knew he would die, and he died in the exact same way and sequence as Sy…[Read more]

@seekjustice Hey, I’m here for a while.  I’ll drop out in a bit for family worship, but I’m here now and I’ll be back after that. 😉  (Our guests left this morning…well, some of them… 😛 )

@alia Don’t worry, I doubt she’ll ever kill Quillon, Chessy, or Justice.  Well, I’m not completely sure about Justice. 😛  She won’t kill Chessy bec…[Read more]

@seekjustice Okay, goodnight!  Talk do you soon. 🙂

@seekjustice Yes, that does make it interesting, and as you say, maddening. 😛  What I honestly thought, was that she would kidnap the other girl or something, and go behind the door herself, because then the law would be applicable to her as well.  I guess the probably wouldn’t hold the ceremony without her, though.  It just seems like that wo…[Read more]
