@pensword It’s been a while since I read the Politically Incorrect Guides, but I’d like to leave a warning here, isn’t there some stuff in them that’s not really great for kids? Though there are many adults here, there are also some very young people, who might rather not read those books.
I honestly don’t remember what it is I’m referring to,…[Read more]

@selah-chelyah Thanks for inviting me into this conversation!
There are a couple of things I’d like to clear up, having studied a rather extensive amount of books and articles on the Civil War.
First of all, just a quick spelling correction, you’re both spelling the term as “succession” when it’s really “secession”. “To secede’ is very…[Read more]

@catwing Oh, that sounds like a lot of fun!
15 minutes sounds great. I’ll start my timer now… 😉

@catwing I’m doing great. 😀 How about you?
Sure! I’d love to word war. How long?

@ashira How long ago did you read them?
I really don’t remember anyone having a habit of screaming when angry except Joel, Van and Alexia, and only in their younger years. If anyone else screamed angrily, it must have been a very unusual occasion for them. Like I said before, Margaret Sidney used the word “scream” to also mean a kind of s…[Read more]

@the-inkspiller It’s okay. 🙂 The only thing in that document was my contact information, and since I don’t give it out lightly, I wasn’t intending on allowing anyone else access to the document except the specific person for whom it was intended. I had asked in my post that no one request access without asking me first, but I guess you didn’t n…[Read more]

@ashira Haha, I adore the Pepper books. 😛
You’re right, though. They do seem to contain rather more screaming than necessary. But that’s mostly when the characters are very young, and it’s really only Joel and Van (when they’re about eight, so their young age is kind of an excuse) and Alexa (is that her name?)…who’s just pretty crazy in g…[Read more]

@ashira @selah-chelyah Thanks. 🙂 No, it’s not research for a WIP. It’s just something I was thinking about and wondering. 😛
I found one place I’d remembered where it mentions pins used as currency: in Joel Pepper by Margaret Sidney. But in that one it’s only talked about, and they don’t actually use the pins to pay for anything. I bel…[Read more]

@the-inkspiller Hey, um, I’m confused as to why you requested access to the document I linked in my post above to LRC? Did you have a reason for doing so?

Rochellaine replied to the topic For All The Historical Fictioners in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years ago
@lrc Oh, whoops. I didn’t notice the second article you listed in your post. 😛
Thanks for that. I’ll be reading it soon. 😉

Rochellaine replied to the topic For All The Historical Fictioners in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years ago
@lrc Yeah, I pretty much knew what pin money meant, though not the exact definition since I never looked it up.
I’m speaking of something entirely different: pins used as actual currency. The only reason I mentioned pin money is because the name sounds so similar. 🙂

Hey everyone, I have a historical question that I’ve been wondering about. Do any of you know the answers? @seekjustice @valtmy @samantha-pen @selah-chelyah @ashira @the-inkspiller @lrc (I know there are a couple other people who visit this topic, but I can’t remember anyone else’s tag at the moment. So I’ll just tag @everyone 😛 )

Thanks for the answers. 🙂
I’m not going to be able to email/chat with you until July, (I’m still working on finals) but I’ll give you my email address now just so I don’t forget later. I’ve put it in a google document which you’ll have to request access to. I think when you request access you can write a note letting me know it’s you, b…[Read more]

Hey Lindsay! Nice to meet you. It is hard to find his-fic writers among the vast crowds of mainly fantasy writers. That’s why I love this topic. 🙂
Obviously you know more about me than I do about you, so I suppose I don’t need to introduce myself at the moment. 😛 I understand that you’re not able to be on SE much, and I’m prob…[Read more]

@valtmy Thank you so much for your suggestions! I really, really like your second idea.
I’m sorry, but I don’t think Kashti’s personality fits with the first idea of your “favorite antagonist.” But I do find that characterization interesting too, so maybe I’ll use it someday. 😉
The second idea, about the traitor causing some injustice to K…[Read more]

Okay, I’ve commented on the doc now. I hope the comments are useful. 😉

Can I put comments on your document? It’ll be easier to find that way, I think.
