@emberynus-the-dragonslayer Thank you so much!

@valtmy Ooh, definitely Laura Ingalls Wilder! How about you?

#1: Distinguishing characteristics

I do have a lot of this figured out when it comes to the cultural side. What I was really looking for was a cool idea.  But after some other feedback (I asked the question else where), I realised the fact that one of my characters is a quarter Dlinaati can be figured out from the fact that her father…[Read more]

Hey fellow HFers, I’m feeling chatty so I’m going to start a conversation. No promises on finishing it though, lol. 😉

What has been the worst historical fiction book you’ve ever read and why? Was it the theme, or lack there of? Modern characters stuffed into the past? Too much fiction that it changed the history?

We all know how hard it is to…[Read more]

I’ll be writing for a while. Anyone want to join me?

@seekjustice @rochellaine @catwing @valtmy @kendra-lynne @dekreeal @snapper. @theresa-play @alia

I’m writing now for a bit.

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 😛 )

I’ve re…[Read more]

@valtmy Ooh, I like your second idea a lot!

@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]

@valtmy Sorry for the lack of context. 🙂  You actually have heard the premise of this story before – it’s DoJ.

So in answer to the questions on context, the betrayal happened before the book even starts.  The whole plot is based on reactions to the unseen betrayal and how it affects the lives of the MC, who is related to the betrayer, and her f…[Read more]

Forgive me if I did not tag you I just pulled tags of a recent post cause I can’t remember half your guys’ tags…

So I have a first draft of the story I had aforementioned to yall and I’m looking for beta readers. I’ll share a link…[Read more]

@seekjustice @theresa-play @catwing @valtmy @kendra-lynne @dekreel @snapper @ashira

I’ll be on for a little bit. (i’m also on KP right now too. just seeing who comes where 😉 ). Anyone on?

@seekjustice @valtmy  Speaking of strange cosmetic ingredients I got halfway through a book about the Radium Girls before I had to put it down, being sick to my stomach. 🙂  The Radium Girls were girls hired to work in factories with radium before they learned how dangerous it was.  They would paint it on watches to make them more shiny.  But the…[Read more]

@samantha-pen I haven’t gone to a historical reenactment exactly, but I went to a 1940s dance (they called it a ball, but it wasn’t a ball… 😉 ) in Colorado once.  I wore authentic vintage clothes and there were actors playing Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra, and a few other historical figures.  It was really fun!  I looked up the River Through Time re…[Read more]

@valtmy I read an article awhile ago about the drop box for babies in South Korea, but I didn’t know they were making a documentary. It is such a beautiful thing! ❤ Whenever I hear about stuff like this I have to stop and ask myself. “Okay, so I say over and over how horrible abortion is, but what am I doing to make a difference?”

It’s so easy t…[Read more]

@seekjustice

I am praying! You are making me want to study Australian laws, now. 🙂 Thanks for sharing that with us.

@valtmy

Yes, I so agree. Makes me think of that quote, can’t remember who said it, “There, but for the grace of God, walk I.” So humbling.

@valtmy

I just subscribed to this topic and this concerns me.
