      I'd like to recommend an amazing story by Duskwatcher2153. If you are interested in all things Roman and in very well written stories, don't miss:
      Summary: "Sacrifice is required in any great venture. Sometimes it's not what you would die for, it's what you will kill for. Aro, in his first centuries, sees a path to a great beginning."

      What do Edward, Bella, and Freddie Mercury have in common?

      Read "Spruce and Cactus" -- my entry for the Canon Tour -- and you'll discover it! The edited version is now available!

      http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7384426/1/Spruce_and_Cactus

      Here's the banner:


      Summary: Forest and desert, dead and living, cold and warm, immortal and human. They have nothing in common and yet, are searching for each other, along the notes of the same song. O/S.

      Enjoy!

      Writing Lab: a historical dictionary of American Slang

      2011-09-14 7 comments
      Let's imagine that you're writing a story set in the Middle Ages. At one point, one of your characters calls a friend on the phone...the result is that the spell you had created so far with your writing is broken. The relationship with your readers is compromised. 

      Probably none would put a phone in a Medieval story, but similar mistakes lie in ambush when you use words that sound too modern or too ancient for your fic's times.

      AlphaDictionary (http://www.alphadictionary.com/slang/) is a very good site to check how your characters would have talked in different times. Let's pick some examples:


      According to AlphaDictionary, Edward Masen (1901-1918) would have said that "The moment he saw Bella he fell for her like a ton of bricks," or that he was "carrying a torch for her," or again, that he was "stuck on her."

      Bella's parents, Charlie and Renée, met and fell in love in the '80s. We might imagine that Charlie happily zerbitted Renée on the neck, leaving on her a love bite and not a deadly wound; he isn't a vampire, after all.

      Writers, do you use historical slang in your stories?  
      Readers, do you notice it? Do you enjoy it?

      Your comments are welcome.
