@dekreel Now you did.  When I read the post you got her tag wrong. 😀

See?

@seekjustice Cool!  Have fun! 🙂

So, you want to chat, you say?  What about? 😀

@rochellaine  I DID tag her!

Exactly! That’s why I have it! XD I’m going for humor.

@jenwriter17

I consider my job done if I make someone cry.

I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I can’t wait to start writing the first chapter.

@rochellaine

I can hang around for a bit and chat, but I am a lucky thing and I am going to a writers festival today and will need to leave soon!

@dekreel I think you meant to tag @sleepwalkingmk 🙂

It may be just a signature, but since everyone considers Dragon Snapper’s signature to have true meaning, it is quite possible that yours does, too. 😀

Fortunately my signature does not have any hidden meaning behind it…or does it? *chuckles*

@sleepwalkingmk  @rochellaine  Hey, it’s just a signature!!

@seekjustice Want to come over here and write? 🙂  I’m planning to do so now instead of hopping around the forums like we’ve been doing for the last hour or so. 😀

@rochellaine

Well, I don’t know, but I’ve read another one of Robert Elmer’s books and I was really happy with the accuracy, so I trust him 😀

Very true, we’re getting a bit off topic.

Well, that’s not true, I also know that you had a revolution and wouldn’t take England’s convicts anymore and that’s how they ended up in Australia. I’m a bit…[Read more]

@seekjustice Okay. 🙂  Yeah, that’s why I was asking you about those books, because I wasn’t sure if they portrayed Australia accurately.  I think they did, but I’m not sure.  And yes, I realize that a lot of the prisoners were falsely accused.  That particular series, in fact, is about a boy whose father was falsely accused and sent to Botany Bay…[Read more]

@Rochellaine

That’s true, it just serves to make the behemoth a laughingstock.

We brilliant people have something referred to as a lounge which is usually approproately placed in the loungeroom. 😃

@rochellaine

Oh, its a very common term to refer to Australia, presumably because its down under the rest of civilisation. Its not offensive, but whenever I hear it used it just strikes me that the person has no idea about Australia and is relying mostly on stereoypes.

People were transported to Australia for almost no reason at all and they…[Read more]

@seekjustice Haha!  But that wouldn’t really make sense with the rest of the description, since it’s all about how awesome and terrifying the beast is. 😀  So why use a sapling?  If his tail isn’t impressive, just don’t mention it!

Ah, okay.  Notes taken: An Australian may understand the word “sofa” but will never use it.

You may note your…[Read more]

@Rochellaine

A very small and weedy sapling perhaps?

I’ve read enough American books to know what it means, but we usually use the word lounge and couch sometimes.

@seekjustice Why?  I actually don’t really know the phrase except as the title of the series. 🙂  Is it an insult or something?

Well, technically there’s the Botany Bay part of your history, which would explain why the people weren’t originally very nice. 🙂 (I’m not saying that to offend you.  You can say as many bad things about American hi…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I’ve never read it. I’m instantly suspicious of anyone using the phrase Down Under though.

We have our “gentleman bushrangers” like Ben Hall and Harry Power, but for the most part they were a pretty nasty lost.

@jenwriter17 Oh, thank you!  I’m so glad you liked it.  😀  *notes to let you know when I do publish that poem book* 🙂

@Rochellaine

I don’t think even Arthur was doing that well (Mordred wasn’t one of his proud moments).

Wow! I’ve never really read about cowboys but they do sound pretty cool! All I know about them is the stereotypical stuff everyone else uses to make fun of them.

@seekjustice Oh, and while I don’t know much about bushrangers, I like them, too.  Have you read the Adventures Down Under series by Robert Elmer?  Is that series accurate?  If so, I can say I enjoyed it immensely. 🙂

@seekjustice Oh yes!  I always find it funny that people try to say the behemoth is an elephant or hippo, because I have seen several elephants and hippos, and read about them extensively, but never have I heard of one with a tail as big as a tree. 😀

Wait…you don’t use the word “sofa?”  Haha. 🙂  Just “couch,” huh?  At least you knew what it…[Read more]

@ethryndal Yes, what @seekjustice said.  They were one of the reasons God chose to Flood the earth.  Children of demons and humans are evil, obviously. 🙂
