Ok that’s good. Thanks!

@mineralizedwritings

Yes I see. I did read a book where it shifted between two POVs and sometimes I forgot who the narrator was and had to go back and look, or try to figure out from what was happening. But I think if I put the name at the start of each chapter it should be fine. Oh yes, about a graphic novel,…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Wow. Great moodboard!!

@esther-c

Wow!!! I’m intrigued!!!

It’s getting really exciting.

@felicity

That’s interesting, I’ve only written present tense and never considered that being an issue. I can’t say much about that because I use an omniscient narrator. My novel is the plan for my graphic novels, which basically have no perspective. I mean it would be odd to have a graphic novel panel where only one character’s thoughts are…[Read more]

@felicity

I know right? Sam is the absolute hero!!!!! (I mean, I guess Frodo went through a lot, so, I’ll give him a little credit.

Yes!! He is! “I can’t carry it for you…but I can carry you!” I LOVE that part. So sweet😢🥰. Yeah, I’m sorry Frodo, you went through a lot too😅😭.

Now THAT is one of the best parts ever! Gimli and Legolas having a co…

Yeah I see what you mean. Great job! I really enjoyed reading this! I feel sorry for Everton, but at the same time I’m excited about what the future holds for him.

And I’m really curious about the thing that Len gave to Amidala!!!

Thanks for tagging me! Can’t wait to read more!

@mineralizedwritings

Hah!! Thank you. I feel encouraged now. I tend to write about siblings a lot because well, I have seven so that’s a huge part of my life. 😀 I’m so glad you like it!!!

@esther-c

Good good good!!!! I’m so happy you enjoyed it. Thanks…this is my second time writing in present tense. I still catch myself writing in past…[Read more]

@koshka

Thanks for the links!!! I’m checking them out. Sorry if it was a pain!

@koshka

It is wonderful fun! I’d recommend starting with your base layers (chemise drawers, corset, petticoats…all the ‘unmentionables’), that way you can get a feel for how the patterns and fabric work without worrying about messing something up. The base layers will be covered, so if the sewing looks awful no one will know. Also, all the outer l…

@freedomwriter76

And yeah, I was kinda thinking about it… 😉 But not Ezra…tho I do have an actual American Jew…but I think I love him too much for him to be sent to Berga. XD

Whew! *sigh of relief* 😀

Oh, yes, Jezyk. He’s actually German, however…he was stationed in Poland for a while and fell in love with a Polish girl there…who then mysteriousl…

new character joining our group? yay! feel free!

we have two groups, one staying behind, one searching for food. The one searching for food just ran into uh… Darcy I believe? And there’s some wind chasing them down.

The second group is waiting for them to get back, but Kaine just suggested they go on an adventure. I don’t remember…[Read more]

@koshka

*Gasp* In our world? I did not see that coming. =O XD

Lol 🤣 idk if I want to include that or not. It would imply that a large number of us… um… died in a civil war sometime in our future? Not sure if I want to go there lol.

And yeah! I’ll probably eavesdrop here a bit 🙂

@koshka

Thanks for making this topic! I might check it every now and then to see what yall are talking about. My world is pretty much made up, so I get to make the history. I have a couple easter eggs in mind that might hint it is set in a future version of our world, but lol idk if I’ll include them.

I kinda wish I needed to do history research…[Read more]

@felicity

WOW that was so good! I really feel the sibling interactions, they feel very real. The moodboard is pretty too! Can’t wait to read more!

@folith-feolin

You know what, that was really fun to read! And now I’m curious what happens. I’ll bet if you edited this a bit you’d have a great story. Thanks for sharing!! 😀

@freedomwriter76

Battle for castle Itter.

Hmm Interesting! Never heard of it!

Berga Concentration Camp

That’s really sad. I could see you adding it into one of your books! Like, making one of your American guys (NOT EZRA. Don’t even think about it.) get brought to Berga because they “look Jewish”.

Heuaktion.

This makes my blood boil to…[Read more]

@koshka

Yes that’s it!!

Yes! I am working on my first actual kit, an American 1861 day dress (I have all but the dress itself and accessories done), but I love clothing history in general. The Edwardians had some beautiful creations. If you want to get into historical costuming, I’d love to help as much as I can! It can be a little daunting at f…

@koshka

I have a book suggestion for you! Poland, A History by Adam Zamoyski. It would give you some background on Slavic tribes. However if you are leaning more towards the Rus tribes, then it might not be as helpful.

Do you do historical sewing? I am very interested in it and love Edwardian fashion (late 1800’s, early 1900’s). Civil War dress…[Read more]
