I liked The Fiddler on the Roof, but I felt it missed a lot of potential. I honestly didn’t like Tevye that much and I wished the story revolved more around the daughters, I especially wish they’d been more closure to Chava and the girl who married the Bolshevik, who’s name I forget. I felt it just….stopped.

I actually felt the…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Yes, exactly right. And while I won’t say things were perfect for women back then, they aren’t perfect now, and they’ve never been perfect. Every era has its failings, that doesn’t make one period better or worse, in my opinion.

I’ve heard of Abigail Adams because you’ve talked about her before. 😀 and I have listened to some of…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I’m pretty sure I’ve had pizza with eggs on it too, but I’m not sure. I don’t know if a lot of people do it, but our family used to have a pancakes and icecream for dinner night once in a blue moon.

Maybe she just wasn’t as much into romance? I don’t remember her being as much of a romantic, but its been years since I read the…[Read more]

@rochellaine

My family and I were just discussing we have inhibiting societal rules like not eating pizza for breakfast and Mum said they probably had breakfast pizza in America, so I thought I’d asked.

A character based on the real Laura Ingalls would be really cool! And that’s a massive pet peeve of mine as well. Girls a…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Is it true that in America you guys have breakfast pizza??? If so, my whole view of American society has been changed for the better.

Oh yes, the average modern romance, even the Christian ones, tend to be….sketchy.

Its all right, I love listening to rants. Even though the rant wasn’t directed at me, and it was about a romance novel. 😛

@rochellaine

You find our flirting attempts hilarious???

Oh, I remember that 😀 It was the reason I added the second window scene 😛

@valtmy

True…still, I think it works. Maybe.

@alia

Yep, me too. And those memories tend to torment me forever. 🙂

@seekjustice, @valtmy, @rochellaine, it is 11 here so I’m gonna sign out now. Talk to y’all later.

@valtmy, yeah, my characters are never going to flirt. Probably the main reason is that I am going to try and not write in romance *glares at two characters in book 2 of a series I have just started*.

@seekjustice, I’m pretty sure the same thing happens to me, however I can’t write about it because I’m not informed until later where the…[Read more]

@seekjustice @rochellaine

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]

@rochellaine

Don’t blame Zac. It’s just that I’m really bad at flirting.

And yes, it would have been really interesting (except my sister. of course, lives in the same house as me, so I wouldn’t dare). Also, one of the cons I had written down for the point of killing Zac was: “He wouldn’t get to be with Neva”. ?????? Why would Zac want to be w…[Read more]

@rochellaine, yeah, I guess that is part of it. Probably the main reason I don’t ship them because it wasn’t til near the end of book two that I got the impression that Justice made the faith his own and not simply thinking believing in God was all that mattered.

Ooh, and I agree with what you said to @valtmy about the whole leader thing.

@valtmy

Fair enough. And yes, Enjolras is very much a noble character with a noble revolution, whereas Justice most definitely is not.

And yes, it would have been very interesting. I’m sure @rochellaine wishes I’d done it. 😀

haha… 😀 Can you imagine Justice saving rich people from the guillotine? 😛 Its not him.

@alia Okey dokey…[Read more]

@rochellaine, honestly, if a guy did that to me I’d find it pretty darn romantic, but like I said, there’s just something about those two. I don’t even know what it is, but for some reason I do not ship them. No clue why.

@rochellaine

Well, Enjolras actually seems like a balanced mixture of no-nonsense, sense, briskness and actual…politeness. Justice lacks politeness. and sense. and basically everything other than revolutionary fervour.

In fairness, the original window scene was entirely a practical thing. A…[Read more]

@rochellaine, well I guess @seekjustice failed with getting me to ship them through the window scene, because I like them as friends and really hope Chessy gets over liking him and he gets over liking her because I really like them as friends, but not as a couple. I don’t know, its just something about them together doesn’t appeal to me

@rochellaine, wait, he didn’t? Never mind, ignore what I said then I thought he did and that annoyed me, but if it was all what other people saw then it makes sense and is fine.

(but I still didn’t like him as a person, that I know)

@seekjustice @rochellaine @alia

Hey guys. I’m here now.

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

@rochellaine @alia

Oooh, I love conflicting opinions! 😛

Personally, I believe he was too emotionless in the first book and waaay too angsty in the second. Neither side of Justice quite captures the glory of Enjolras, which was what I was going for.

@rochellaine, I agree with you on the most part, but I just didn’t feel much realisticness from him in his own POV
