@ariel-ashira  Xonos Darkgrate once made a topic about swear words. Maybe it has what you’re looking for, maybe not. . . See how it works for you! 🙂

@ariel-ashira

Hmm I’m not too sure about this myself.

I understand wanting to make sure that your dialogue reflects reality. I suppose one way to include such swearing without stumbling others is to make sure that you are simply portraying the swearing as part of the characterisation but not as a good or acceptable thing.

In actuality, I don’t…[Read more]

I’ll be here a while.

@seekjustice @rochellaine @jenwriter17

Anyone around?

@ariel-ashira

Oh, that’s so sad! We just had to put our pony down so I know what it feels like. I’ll be praying for your sister and your family.

Thank you, @jenwriter17

I remember you saying your guinea pig died not to long ago.

@rochellaine @alia @jenwriter17 @seekjustice @valtmy @kaya-young @devastate-lasting @catwing

Please pray for my sister.  When we moved to Idaho, we had to leave her bunny with friends in Kansas because we are renting and the landlord said no pets.  We had hoped to bring her rabbit up soon, but…it died.   This is very hard for our whole fa…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 @seekjustice @valtmy @dekreel I’m back.  Is anyone here tonight?

@jenwriter17 I’ll probably be on again around 10:30 or 11:00 EST.

I’m currently humming the theme song of the Dick Van Dyke show in my head, though. 😉

@seekjustice @valtmy @jenwriter17 @dekreel @catwing I’m here for a little while.

@rochellaine

Okay, I’ll put the rest of the series on my Christmas wish list 😛

I know. I didn’t know she was brilliant. But did she have a daughter who wrote too? It might have been her daughter’s books.

Oooh, the Bounty is an Australian thing!

@seekjustice Cool!  Well, if you get a chance to read the full Viking Quest series, let me know what you think, because I absolutely love that series! 😉

What?!!  Got rid of Grace Livingston Hill books?? 🙁 🙁  That’s sad. 😛

My favorite of Ballantyne’s books is The Lonely Island, which is a fictionalized version of the story of the Mutineers of…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Yep, I managed to find them all on Koorong.

I’ll definitely have to see if I can find the rest of those 😀

I would love to speed-read through your library 😛

I think I had some of Grace Livingston Hill’s books, but unfortunately I had to cull them. Whoops 😛 (But hey, I have so many books that my bookcases are bursting at the…[Read more]

@seekjustice There are five books in the Viking Quest series.

There are seven more books in the Young Underground series, following A Way Across the Sea, and then there is a series set a few years later which is not really connected except a couple of the characters leech over to make “cameo” appearances. 😉

Aw, too bad. 🙁  Well, when you come…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I have the first two Viking Quest books and I enjoyed them when I read them several years ago. Do you know how many more there are in the series?

Oh, I’ve got one of Robert Elmer’s books too! A Way Across the Sea I think it’s called, and I really, really like that one. I’ve never got anymore of his books because they aren’t in p…[Read more]

@seekjustice I’m back. 😀

Okay, modern his-fics first:

Have you read the Viking Quest series by Lois Walfrid Johnson?  Those have a good deal of romance, but I would say about the level there is in your Infinity series, so not too bad, and they’re definitely his-fics and not romance novels.  If you’ve read those (or even if you haven’t) you s…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Okay! I’ll see you later 😀

@seekjustice I’m partway through the list, but I’ve got to go.  I’ll probably be back in about an hour, and I’ll send it your way then.

Will you be on later?

Bye for now!

@rochellaine

Yep, that’s what I mean. I really want some modern stuff which isn’t romance, but I know you mostly read older books, so I don’t mind if you’re suggestions are older.
