Instead of saving rich people, Justice could save those that were wrongly condemned.

Oh and I see you asked me to answer the questions that you have put at the end of WIIE. Do you want me to answer here or in the doc?

@seekjustice

Oh right another thing I forgot to mention. There was this part where Chessy was saying that Justice could get others to respect but not love him. That was true but something about it also confused me. There were other revolutionaries like Quillon and Jonas that seem mature so I was struggling to understand why they would go along…[Read more]

@alia Well, window scenes don’t mean as much to you as they do to me. 😉  I tell my sister, “If some guy ever asks you how to make me like him, tell him to talk to me through a window.” 😛  I don’t know, there’s just something really romantic about window scenes, to me.  Mostly from the Patty Fairfield series.

@seekjustice I don’t know the ba…[Read more]

@seekjustice, aren’t we all? Confused by our own writings I mean.

Hey, maybe he was flirting with her in the same way she flirted with him was so that she wouldn’t like him like that. Yep, thats my theory and I’m sticking with it

@seekjustice

I like him as a character. I think what you’ve done with him is interesting. As a person though… I find him really cold and stiff in SFI. I don’t know what Chessy sees in him. I think it runs in the family. Chessy, Sapphire, Jean… they all seem to have really bad taste and judgment when it comes to relationships. I don’t think h…[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

@seekjustice Remember, @jenwriter17 shipped Justice and Chessy, so she must have liked him a bit. 😉

(speaking to your comment to @valtmy )

@seekjustice I don’t think he needs to be a copy of another character.  Like we discussed once, your characters are mix and matches of all the different characters from the original.  So if the “glory of Enjolras” as you call it, doesn’t get fully portrayed in Justice, maybe some of it shows up in the other characters.

The characters that are e…[Read more]

Hey guys. I’m here now.

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

@seekjustice Actually, contrary to what @alia said, I felt Justice was very realistic.  He was stiff, and I pretty much despised him, but I despised him as a human, not as a badly written character, because I thought he was very well written.

I hope you don’t humanize him too much in the revisions, because it would ruin his character.

Little…[Read more]

@seekjustice, I get him appearing like that in someone else’s POV, but when it was like that in his too is when it started bothering me a bit.

Yeah, I don’t think they care much about honouring (yes auto correct there is a u in honour) their parents. 😉

great.

@seekjustice, @rochellaine, just to be clear, beta readers are kind of what y’all are doing with @valtmy ‘s and what you did with Seekjustice’s book, right? where you read it part by part and critique it?

@seekjustice, I didn’t really like Justice in book one either because I felt like he was a robot. He didn’t feel very realistic to me except for him not wanting anyone to die. But even that was more like he didn’t want anyone else to die.

Oh good, I thought for sure I was going crazy with that thought

@seekjustice, @rochellaine, doesn’t the song Proud of Your Boy from Aladdin kinda reflect both Justice and Zac during the bar fight? not completely, but somewhat?

(it probably doesn’t but I’m listening to that broadway right now and that song just came on and so that thought lept into my brain)

@seekjustice, @rochellaine, I have to say, I liked Zac a lot better than Justice from the beginning. I mean, I knew he was going to turn out better, but even before he did I could see that he was acting the way he was as protection against getting hurt. Which made him opening up to Chessy so easily and quickly a bit confusing.

Justice was…[Read more]

@alia  Well, you see, she didn’t love Jonas as much as she loved Quillon.  I love Jonas better than Quillon, and Zac better than Justice, but she’s chosen Quillon as her favorite, and none of the other men mean nearly as much to her as Quillon does.

I am in complete agreement with you, but if the author loves Quillon, the author must be allowed t…[Read more]

@seekjustice I have a confession.  I didn’t actually cry at Zac’s death.

Partly it was because, like @alia said, I kept getting called away and when I finally got to the end I wasn’t immersed in the story as I should have been.  The other reason was probably because I already knew he would die, and he died in the exact same way and sequence as Sy…[Read more]

@rochellaine, I don’t know. If she is willing to kill someone as wonderful as Jonas I think she is capable of anything…

@seekjustice

@seekjustice Hey, I’m here for a while.  I’ll drop out in a bit for family worship, but I’m here now and I’ll be back after that. 😉  (Our guests left this morning…well, some of them… 😛 )

@alia Don’t worry, I doubt she’ll ever kill Quillon, Chessy, or Justice.  Well, I’m not completely sure about Justice. 😛  She won’t kill Chessy bec…[Read more]
