😀 sometimes I’m not sure 🙂 I’d definitely find it annoying if someone kept tagging me and I couldn’t reply.

Cool.

Well, I’m 20k into my story (only 12k in NaNo though) so it feels like its going well, but my story seems kinda dead to me.

@jenwriter17

Okay.

Anyone else around @valtmy @rochellaine

(Sorry to keep annoying you guys. I’ve missed you in the…day…two days? I’ve been gone)

@jenwriter17

It’ll actually be a little longer before I’m here 🙁

@Rochellaine @catwing @valtmy @ariel-ashira @jenwriter17

I’ll be here in 15min or so. Anyone care for a word war?

@rochellaine

I haven’t looked at Google today.

I can testify that we have Australian holiday/anniversary etc ones, so I think some of them are the same and some probably aren’t.

@valtmy

The list of things I have to research is so incredibly long. And I want to research everything before I write, which is probably a bad habit. Anyway, I made a note in my file, so that I’ll remember to research Linderhof Palace at a later date. I’m trying to dig back into writing now, since I only have twenty or so minutes before I need to leave.

@valtmy

Of course it matters. It’s a fantastic way to procrastinate, so of course I’m going to take it 😛

@valtmy

I’ve decided they could, feasibly, do it. But whether or not they had enough money…then again, a lack of money never stopped royals, did it?

@valtmy

Yes. It’s an extremely beautiful palace and I’m trying to decide whether colonists could build something similar in 150 years. I haven’t decided yet.

@valtmy

Hello! I’m currently staring dully at pictures of Linderhof Palace and trying to find out how long it took them to build it.

@valtmy

I thought there was. The writing in ROF wasn’t bad but I thought it was rather lackluster compared to QOD. It wasn’t as funny and wasn’t really distinctive. Its an older work isn’t it? I’d say your voice has probably just improved.

I’m sure its been established that Courageous needs whipping into shape himself and is probably not capable…[Read more]

I liked it and I definitely think it has potential but I think it would need to be rewritten. The writing didn’t seem as good as in QoD and the characters didn’t seem as well developed, but maybe that’s just  because its shorter.

Courageous’s court, was what I meant. It basically goes round on the ideals of courtly love.

Yes, I suppose so. I…[Read more]

@valtmy

Well, I don’t think Juqing would like Courageous and he certainly wouldn’t like Courageous court. Whether Courageous would like Juqing or not, I’m not sure.

And yes, I think Juqing would definitely bully Courageous, and Courageous would probably run away to Antarctica.

@valtmy

I requested access 😀

I thought we came to the conclusion that he would be bullied horribly. But, the poor boy is bullied anyhow, so its just a matter of whether it would be better or worse.

@valtmy

There’s exceptions to every rule. But the time jumps are less noticeable in the book than the movie/musical because there’s so much extra stuff in there.

Honestly, I think its one of those tools that can be used very well and effectively, but often isn’t.

Most certainly 🙂

@valtmy

Huh, they’re all out of whack. That’s really weird.

Yeah, I think there would be people who wouldn’t enjoy your style, but once I got into it I really enjoyed it.

I have seen people do those time jumps in published books, personally I’ve never really liked it, but that could just be me. Still, I think you can make it work.

@valtmy

Hello! I finished reading QoD!

For some reason, this wasn’t posting…

@valtmy

I was about to say I lived in the future, but two hours probably isn’t enough to have read a completed first draft, so I’ll just say nothing at all.

I think its pretty good. It did take me a while to get used to your writing style, but that’s probably just what I’m used to reading/writing. I’m not entirely sure about the massive jump in…[Read more]

@valtmy

Well, yes it is 😛

Also, it really doesn’t take a lot for me to get distracted.

Okay, I’ll go searching for it.

@valtmy

I need to do some more, since I’m rather devastatingly far behind…but you’re novel is looking very interesting at the moment (can I have the link to part 2?) and I’m up to a boring bit.

Well, a kind of boring bit. Someone gets kidnapped, but its boring before that.
