@winter-rose ah! I’ve heard a lot about Rook! I’m editing my little novella Beauty and the Beast retelling called Rose Mask. I’m doing a read through and making a lot of comments and I’m only a few pages from the end.

@winter-rose cool! What are you editing?

@clairec Ooh!! Ooh!! I’ve read some of the Billabong books (because every Australian girl as need of A Little Bushmaid) but not all of them. Now I desperately need to do a reread. I remember like Wally and Jim!

As to the crushes I’ve had….

-Percy Blakeney in The Scarlet Pimpernel

-Henry Tilney in Northanger Abbey (the only Jane Austen boo…[Read more]

@winter-rose

Hey! I’ll join you, I’m editing currently!

@rochellaine, you have??? That’s amazing! Definitely look them up. You can only get a few on kindle, but they’re still worth the read.

@clairec Yes, Mikkel and Bree are both amazing!  (I almost got mad at Tully when Mikkel found out about him…) Have you read the other Lois Walfrid Johnson series?

Guess what?  I actually have heard of the Billabong series. (I have no idea where!) But never read them, so I’ll look them up!  And they’re not as old as most books I read!  The …[Read more]

Sorry we missed you @skredder!

@rochellaine, oooooh, good topic choice! 😉

Um, well, I’ve never had a crush at all, but guys in books that I think are likeable…

I agree with your choice of Mikkel. He had a great character arc, meaning he never seemed like a villain, but more of a second protagonist who didn’t see eye-to-eye with Bree. Also, I was waiting and waiting for him…[Read more]

@dekreel *Winks* That’s why I started it! 😀

Ohh, I think I really need to read The Wingfeather Saga.  I’ve heard a lot of good things about it!  🙂

psstt, @dekreel… page 31!

@rochellaine HAHA this is a funny topic!

I find Calvin from Wrinkle in Time admirable, just not cute

Lessee… I’ve always really liked this guy named Victor from a children’s series I tried to write a few years ago. He’s adorable XD

Who else… Um… *COUGHharrypotterCOUGH* So yeah…

Janner from The Wingfeather Saga

And maybe one or two…[Read more]

@foreverme  I have not joined the Aetherlight yet, but I have been actively stalking the forums X)

@ariella-newheart  I second @clairec. You HAVE to read LOKD! It is awesome. And there’s a sequel on page 37!

Dekreel Recommendations on their way. 😛

Steampunk

– The Rithmatist (Brandon Sanderson)
– Storming (K. M. Weiland)

Both excellent books, and really really good.

Sci Fi
(a very broad genre so it depends exactly what you’re looking for?)

– Insignia (S.J. Kincaid) (not the most amazing book, in my opinion, but okay)
– The Lunar Chronicles…[Read more]

Um, I guess you could also count one of your own characters?  Not in a story you read, but a story you wrote. :p

But then analyzing the fact that they were created by you could end up confusing…who do you really love?  Yourself, since you created the character?

@Dekreel if you participate in NaNoWriMo (or camp NaNoWriMo) and win you actually get a 50% off coupon or something like that. 😛

@dekreel So, @sam-kowal mentioning historical science fiction by Jules Verne reminded me that one of the most well-known science fiction series ever is the Tom Swift series by Edward Stratemeyer.  The first series was written in the early 1900s, and was a huge success, but most of the inventions Tom made have now been made in real life, such as t…[Read more]

@ariella-newheart, those are good suggestions of @foreverme. Writer’s Corner is one of the most practical topics here.

The very first thing, though should be @dragon-snapper ‘s story, ‘The Legends of King Daeus.’ All the inside jokes will suddenly make sense!…[Read more]
