@valtmy I would probably choose Yishay.  After all, he’s part of a gang-ish group, so he’d know how to get around in tough places and be able to get info from “unsavory characters”. 😛

@seekjustice I think Bathshua would probably be called Vanity (because her life seemed full before, but her father’s vanity – emptiness – consumed it, and also…[Read more]

@seekjustice

That’s true. There is a limit to the poetic potential of the English language to make such names acceptable. Let me give you an example of a Korean name: Sunja.

This name is name out of two characters in the Korean language: ‘Sun’ – meaning to obey, submit and go along with and ‘Ja’ – meaning child. Together, it means an obedient…[Read more]

@seekjustice

How can it be my turn when you just answered a question that I posed? 😛

My, that’s a hard question. I’ve searched through some Puritan names but given how far removed in time and space ancient Korea is from the Puritans, I can’t imagine Myeongwol having any of those names. Granted, some of the names of the characters do directly…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Your question?

@rochellaine

Ah, yes. Of course. I believe that stories should end with a spiritual victory. In that case, yes, I suppose I can say that QOD will have a happy ending. 😛

Hmm… it will depend on whether Myeongwol was suddenly transported to 2018 or have always lived in modern times.

If she has always lived in the modern era, I imagine lots of…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Ooh, spoilers!  😛 But generally speaking, Bathshua would prefer to forget the circumstances of her father’s death.

@valtmy

Okay, here’s a question:

How would your character react to living in 2018? 😛

@seekjustice

Myeongwol would choose to forget her really embarrassing and traumatic first meeting with Yi Yeongshin.

@rochellaine

Your turn to ask a question.

@seekjustice

What’s your question? 😛

@rochellaine

No spoilers 😉 But, really, you have something against depressing stories?

Let me assure you that my book is meant to be a cute and funny story. Though @seekjustice might disagree since she’s read Part 2. But Part 3 is when the real adventure finally gets to begin so there’ll be more cute and funny moments from then on and I’m l…[Read more]

@seekjustice 😛

@valtmy

…

I’m wondering if I even want to read your book anymore.  It sounds depressing. 😛

Please tell me it has a happy ending! 😉

@rochellaine @seekjustice

My first thought was: What other thought would a person have when they wake up in the morning apart from, “I want more sleep”?

But OK, I’ll try to take my character’s perspective and provide a more insightful response. 😛

I suppose when Myeongwol gets up, she would look out of her window and be greeted by the beautiful…[Read more]

@valtmy @seekjustice

Okay: What is the first thing your character thinks of when he/she wakes up in the morning?

@valtmy @seekjustice Sorry, that took a bit longer than I expected.

…and I got distracted chatting with my mom. 😉

Okay, Valtmy’s question: Bathshua would most likely tell a lie to prevent people from finding out who her father was.  Or she would tell a lie to protect her family.

SeekJustice’s question: Bathshua is interested in getting…[Read more]

@seekjustice

I don’t think I saw your answer to my question? The forum has been acting funny. Did it disappear?

My answer: Myeongwol adores romance. Obviously. She wants a romantic relationship like a fairytale (or in her case, a drama). At least, the pre-time skip Myeongwol does. Post-time skip Myeongwol is a cynical sack of bitterness and…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Hi, glad you can join us 😀 Basically, we take turns asking questions about our characters and answer them. You can skim through our earlier posts to get an idea.

The last question was asked by me (the lying one) so I’ll wait for your answers. Then it’ll be @seekjustice‘s turn to ask a question.

@seekjustice Uh, that sounds interesting. 😛

I’ve got to send an email for the family ministry, but then I’d love to join!  How is it played? 😀

@seekjustice

I think you have a pretty good idea as to the most embarrassing situation Myeongwol has ever been in (hint: it’s in the first chapter). In case you haven’t noticed, I tend to put my characters in lots of awkward and embarrassing situations. 😛 That’s because I have always been puzzled as to why so many writers can allow their MCs to…[Read more]

@seekjustice

On a completely random note, you know how I asked what beverage your character would like to drink and you answered that Yilla would probably have only ever drank water before her entrance to the palace? Well, do you think Yilla would drink mare milk? Or milk from whatever other animals her family has?

I’m not sure what culture you…[Read more]

@seekjustice

All right. Here’s my question:

What do your characters think is the worst thing that can be done to a person?

@jenwriter17

All right then. Have a good rest!

@seekjustice

Do you want to continue the game?
