Oh, sorry; I just wanted to let you know about an added detail from an above post about the poetry door. I copied it down here (credit to Dakota’s sister).

He (or she) stepped up to the ivy covered wall. Brushing back the green leaves, he studied the golden object. It was a plaque of some sort of writing on it. He leaned closer and read…[Read more]

@dakota
Oh that makes sense; kinda like the epics Beowulf and Song of Roland. That could work…I say let’s give it a try. 🙂
(Also, I’m going to give @ashira a tag so that she can incorporate the plaque into the poetry door.)

@seekjustice

That IS a good question. I think @ashira put it very well. Historical accuracy is always in the forefront, and should also be countered with biblical truth. Sometimes I write as though I assume the reader will understand the historical context of the situation. Conversely, I do sometimes struggle with showing what’s common for the t…[Read more]

@seekjustice

What a great question! This is actually something I’ve been thinking about recently. I agree with @ashira that history is offensive and we can’t shy away from talking about something just because it makes some people mad or uncomfortable. Yes, it’s very, very important that we present the truth in love, but that doesn’t mean that we…[Read more]

@eden-anderson @rochellaine @ashira

I love romance! And love triangles. Provided that all the parties involved behave like sensible adults.

I agree that there has to be more at stake in the story than whether the couple gets together or not.

@seekjustice

What do you mean by “a certain kind of love triangle”?

@ashira

Yeah, I agree! (Although I do like books where romance is the main plot…I dunno, like both. 😛)

@seekjustice

Hey, if it’s done well, than okay, that’s fine. I might even like it. But I’ve read to many books where love triangles were just annoying. 🙃

It was good pizza, by the way. Thanks.

All I can say conclusively is that this thread is marked yellow for me, as if it’s a forum announcement.

To be honest, I’ll be slightly amiss to leave this thread at this point. But alas, all good…[Read more]

@seekjustice

I stand with @ashira and @selah-chelyah, as I’m sure you were suspecting. 😉  Historical accuracy is important.  However, I come close to “alternate history” when I read old sci-fi books.  If, say, there’s a sci-fi or dystopian novel written in the 40s about the then future 80s, well, that’s technically alternate history, since it ne…[Read more]

I love everything you guys said! You all had some great thoughts.

Personally, I think the answer varies.

Yes, you should write even if you’re not inspired to, because writing isn’t always easy and it’s not going to happen if you just sit back…[Read more]

@valtmy

That manga sounds really interesting! I especially like the alternate idea of Japan’s isolation. If I ever come across it, I’ll definitely read it. I also share your views on alternate history. I’ve only read one alternate history that I really enjoyed. It also, I guess, fell into the category of steampunk (Scott…[Read more]

Anyone on? I’m working on various writing and blogging things…

@ashira: not sure what meant what? (now I’m confused XD)

@dakota
Hey, don’t apologize! We’re glad you’re here! *brings you a plate of pizza* And I need your help figuring out how the poetry realm works! I had a couple of ideas, but I’d really like to hear what you think we could possibly do to make the roleplay work within poetry. Would you like to give it a try?

Great origins…[Read more]

Yep, that is us! 😛
