Christopher Paul replied to Juli D. Revezzo's discussion Help with time placement in the group WORLD-BUILDING: IT'S ALL IN THE DETAILS
"Cool. Obviously it's your story and you know the characters.
I had not researched this before your post, so I was surprised to learn that the Chunnel was first proposed in the early 19th century. I can easily envision it having been built by…"

Rose Streif replied to Christopher Paul's discussion Steampunk Bookcover Art

Hi there,
I noticed that one of the administrators kindly approved a couple of blog posts that included personal writing. I'd prefer to keep personal writing off the blog and reserve it for informational or educational posts only.
People who try to showcase their work can be referred to the two groups set up for that purpose. If they want feedback, they can post to Personal Writings of Every Sort and if it's perfect they can add to the Writing Showcase.
I have left a message for Ryan to let him know the rules, which are clearly set out under "New Members."
