No, I’ve never heard it referenced, as far as I can remember, but I don’t read a lot of 1900s fiction so that might be it 😛

I did see that 😀 And well, he’s hardly at risk of being guillotined in an American college, is he? (I sure hope not anyway).

…am I the only Kapeefer who is not on SE now? 😮

@daughteroftheking I wouldn’t necessarily use the word “realistic” in describing them.  I’d probably say “sensationalistic” and “melodramatic.”  You didn’t miss much. 😛

There is no better genre than his-fic, though.  None.

@seekjustice I agree, they were both wrong about a lot of things.

I’ve heard/read many references to Elsie Dinsmore in 19…[Read more]

I think I was cursed with all the world’s sad stories. I don’t know what I did to deserve that, but there you have it 🙂

@daughteroftheking I just tagged you with your SE name 😛 See my above post.

Oh, and don’t worry, you weren’t missing out on much.

@ncstokes @rochellaine

Yeah, me too. I feel that I wouldn’t be particularly good at it.

And even if I was, the parents would not approve.

@rochellaine

I’m pretty sure there all still neatly stacked up under the bed. I’m thinking of selling them 😀 Though they are very pretty.

I’m not sure what I think of that statement. On one hand, her father didn’t understand that he’d been gone for her whole life and literally all she had was her faith, which was why it meant so much to her. He…[Read more]

@seekjustice Frankly, I would be extremely wary of reading any books you wrote to little kids. 😉

@daughteroftheking That’s good. I wrote a revolution once and that went for a very long time and was quite emotionally draining. 🙁 Maybe I should take up writing for little kids.

@seekjustice Thankfully my mom didn’t waste her money on the full set. 😛

The one thing I disagree with about the article is the part where it says Elsie has no right to think for herself against her father.  I do think eight-year-olds are often mature enough to read the Bible for themselves and come to their own conclusions, and I like what her…[Read more]

@daughteroftheking

That’s good. I hate those prolonged ones that force you to keep writing for page after page…those ones are terrible.

@rochellaine

I just read that article actually. And I agree with it. My mum bought me the full set years ago and I read a few of them, but I couldn’t ever like them. Elsie and I are just too different and she’s suffocatingly perfect. I also didn’t like the treatment of the slaves as something less than human. And goodness, her father is so…[Read more]

@seekjustice I have read the first three Elsie Dinsmore books.  I read the first two when I was very young and absolutely adored them.  And I reread them, tears streaming down my face every time.  When I came back to them as I grew older and when I read the third book I realized they weren’t what I had remembered.

This article actually sums up a…[Read more]

@daugtheroftheking

I…um…dislike writing fight scenes. Good luck.

Currently just working on some ideas for a short story I’m going to write and doing some research and reading Rochellaine’s story.

@daughteroftheking

Hello there! What are you working on?

@rochellaine

I think it’s fine now 😛 It was rather humorous though.

I’m doing research for a short story I’m writing and I’m also reading about Elsie Dinsmore. Have you ever read the Elsie Dinsmore books?

I would like to read it 🙂

@seekjustice Haha! 😛  That seems rather annoying, to say the least.

It’s, uh, coming along. 😉  It’s in a very different style from anything I’ve written before, so I’ve been researching how to write this style, and trying to decide if it’s worth it, but the idea is so good I’m not giving up that easily.  Hopefully it continues to…come al…[Read more]

@rochellaine @ariel-ashira

Hello! I didn’t get your earlier message, but I’m here now. I’m struggling with Pinterest in a rather embarrassing fight, in which an inappropriate pin appears and I attempt to ask Pinterest not to show me such things but my hand has gone numb from lying on top of it and as such end up saving said pin to my boards…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira Okay.  Bye!

Anyone else, I’ll be on and off for the next couple of hours, so tag me if you arrive. 🙂

@ariel-ashira A mixture of old stuff from the 50s/60s.  Right now it’s Robert Goulet, a 60s Broadway star.  Ever heard of him?
