@daeus-lamb I’ll happily do it. I remember you sending out a link in your newsletter to a free one, can I just use that?

And can I review on goodreads or does it have to be Amazon?

@allison-grace

*Gasp*…

You don’t know Frank? Frank is the glorious thunderphoenix that takes care of the idyllic vale of Erekdale. 🙂

@emgc *slow claps*

KREE, KREE Ereki! We’re blitzing the guild wars lately. Let’s do it again!

@the-fledgling-artist @r-m-archer @ashira @h-jones @kari-karast

I loved seeing all about your stories! I have to say I really didn’t know anything about your WIPs before and now I’m super keen for all of them.

Fledgling-Artist, I am in love with Mallory! She sounds so incredibly cute, and I love the new take on superheroes you’re doing in your…[Read more]

I swear I haven’t forgotten you all, just have had a really bad and crazy busy few weeks.

So I’m back again!

The question for this week is:

What is a common historical inaccuracy that really annoys you? (If you need to rant, feel free to include more than one!)

@rochellaine @valtmy @ lin @northerner @Michelle @pursuewisdom

(I think that’s everyone)

@ashira

I’ve actually just been considering this. My fantasy novel takes place in a culture heavily inspired by Polynesian cultures (particularly Tahitian culture) and human sacrifice was a part of that, though fairly uncommon (unlike in other cultures). Eventually, I just decided to portray it as wrong and make only passing references to it.

@theresa-play I need to go now, but I might be able to talk soon 😀

@theresa-play

No, it’s the first one. The second one was called When Infinity is Empty but is now called If the Stars are Fire because I like that better and it works with the changes I’ve made.

I can’t remember if you know about it or not. It’s tentatively titled Wattle Fires and it’s a fantasy novel set in a Pacific inspired world (the actua…[Read more]

@theresa-play

Life has been absolutely crazy lately. Writing wise, I’ve been working on the third draft of the Stars fill Infinity and I finished an unrelated novel. And I’m going to be editing that, and finishing off the third draft of TSFI next month. How about you? How’s Decisions coming along?

@theresa-play

You wouldn’t believe how much I’ve considered that 😛

(yep, I recognised you :D)

@jenwriter17

You here still? I finally have free time *YAAAAAYYYYY*

Oh! And I know I told Rochellaine, but I don’t think I told you…

…

I’m working on the first draft of the final infinity book for Camp NaNo.

@r-m-archer

I’d love to do a cover reveal/author interview with you!

@hope-ann

Honestly that would be great. I offered to help but didn’t really take into account my time zone differences and the fact that I had so much to do this week. And today is election day plus I have to go to a church function , so I’m going to be busy.

But let me know when you finish it. I’ll have some free time tonight and tomorrow night…[Read more]

Here’s our discussion question for the week. It’s a bit more serious than the last few and I’m really interested to hear your opinions.

How do you, personally, strike a balance between historical accuracy and ideas and beliefs that are now considered outdated or offensive (for example, views on slavery, colonialism, women, etc)?

@moonlighting-novelist

Welcome to the best thread on the forum! It’s always exciting to add a new historical fictioner, because we’re a little bit rare around here. 😀 I can’t wait to have you participating in our discussions!

@valtmy

I’ve heard some people refer to it as the Jane Austen love triangle. I’m not really sure how to explain it without writing an essay, but essentially there’s the two options, but the heroine isn’t wishywashy between the two, like in most modern novels, but is a choice between good and bad, though its not usually obvious which is which.

Or…[Read more]

@rochellaine @eden-anderson

*cough*

I kinda like the love triangle. I mean, a certain kind of love triangle. If done well. Then I like it.

I’m not really a fan of most other romance tropes but if played well, the love triangle can work.

Welcome to the historical fictioners thread!

I mentioned Leviathan to a few other people who posted here! Its really good 🙂

I haven’t read those other ones, but Flame in the Mist is good! (I haven’t read the sequel yet).

@evelyn @daeus-lamb @r-m-archer @eden-anderson

Thanks for all your opinions! I’m considering giving it a trial to see how much I like it.
