Seconded - we love readers! And hearing from them is even better!

Looking forward to reading it! Did the 'there was only one bed' trope work out for you in the end?

That whole train station scene has got so much "did that just happen???" from both actors, it's utterly delightful.

My *actual* fanfic that I go back to and reread is the "A Deeper Season" canon divergence series of the Miles Vorkosigan books. They split off around the time of Memory, with the presumption that Gregor was always secretly in love with Miles, and what would that mean. While I love A Civil ...

I'm in Wellington, New Zealand. I moved here in my late twenties because I always liked the feeling of the hills rising up around me, and the clear feeling of the air - no regrets! I couldn't figure out how to post pictures, but here's the view from near my house: https://places.nz/places/wellington...

Daisy, if you have a moment, where should I start with Georgette Heyer? I've been curious, and I do have Richard Armitage's Audible downloaded... So the first rule about Georgette Heyer is that she wrote a book a year for, like, 50 years, so if you don't like the first one you try, there'll probabl...

I'm in my mid-forties...but I just feel like I'm always 39. Ha! "Thirty-nine is a very attractive age. London society is full of women of the very highest birth who have, of their own free choice, remained thirty-nine for years." -- The Importance of Being Earnest (slightly edited ;-) I'm...

I'm thinking it could work if John was sort of caught up in Victorian mores--as in, of course they've have sex and there'd be no expectation that she'd like it. It's just part of marriage. And then, y'know, turns out it's pretty great... Philippa make time!!! So, I was doing some reading on what Vi...

I thought it was really interesting how he talked about getting into character by writing 'a book' about them.

Exciting! Looking forward to reading them next week.

Whoops, I just noticed the "I'm ill" bit ( :oops: ). Feel better soon!

Lord I would so love to be the person who figures out the bilingual pun, and I feel I should be, as I studied Latin, and Catullus and am generally quick at language things but then again I am ILL (did I mention this :rofl so that shall be my excuse. It helps if you know I love in New Zealand. Thank...

Can I quote you in my next FITYMI chapter "the wedding from hell?" Oh sure, but it's not at all an original phrase to me. I'm half hoping that John and Maggie's First Kiss (TM) is going to be a performance for the horrible family, to the great surprise of the other party. (Or maybe John c...

(For E & R) Give me a thousand kisses and then a hundred more For the night is long, and we shall not sleep; We shall not. The days lose themselves, they twinkle, the setting sun a burst In the blue-bright sky - off, like a flash - So long as I have you. We are alone together, my babies, and th...

Thank you, Daisy, for latest chapter. It's so nice. I already read it. Can't wait for final chapter! :love Alright, I've published and been damned. Does anyone else find it a slightly painful feeling to be in the 'almost finished'/'just finished' state? I'm going to be taking a break from writing N...

• Did in book was mentioned Mr. Bell's name?

It turns out Project Gutenberg is our friend!
"And the old man has not a known relation on earth; ‘who is there to mourn for Adam Bell?"
But it's literally a single entry in the entire book, so anyone would be forgiven for not remembering it.

• Did in book was mentioned how much children are Hannah Thornton?

Hannah Thornton had three children: John, Fanny, and an unnamed daughter who died of a fever (Margaret reminds her of a bit)
I'm not sure about the middle first name things.
