Re: Kindly Relations Chapters 9 and 10 - 2 years ago
I did find your original "A Kindly Aunt" mostly in 2016 postings. I have almost finished re-reading it, as I did read it back then, and I am now connecting with the events in your "Kindly Relations" much better. Thank you so much for this story.by EvelynJean - Derbyshire Writers' Guild

Re: In a Prudential Light, Chapter 7 - 3 years ago
Whoa!! Very effective writing!! What a chapter and what a place to leave us! I hope you won't have to leave us to wait so long for the next; I had to go back to find and read your previous chapters. Cannot wait for more. What a predicament you have put ODC in!! Oh my! Don't know how you can resolve this very easily! Please warn me if you do not have a happy ending.

Re: A Circumstance of Tolerable Similarity Chapter 15 and Epilogue (Final) - 3 years ago
I have really enjoyed your story! Thank you so much for sharing it with us. Also, you are very welcome; I am so glad the suggestions were not offensive to you. If you ever wish for someone to look over your work, I have done it for someone who actually published, and it was a real pleasure for me to be of help, as I am recently retired. Best wishes to you on any future projects, too!!by EvelynJean - Derbyshire Writers' Guild
Re: A Circumstance of Tolerable Similarity Chapters 12-14 (Post 5) - 3 years ago
Thank you! I think you did an outstanding job, it was not too "angsty" in my opinion, and those who are familiar with Elizabeth Gaskell's North and South will know just how well you handled it. Great job! BTW, you do not need a period after Miss because it is the full word, not like Mrs. which is abbreviated from "Missus" or Mr. which is abbreviated from "Mister". Hope that is helpful. Thanks aby EvelynJean - Derbyshire Writers' Guild
Re: A Circumstance of Tolerable Similarity Chapters 10-12 (Post 4) - 3 years ago
Just loving your story! Regarding the Navy and how it handled mutineers, I have always read that, in those times at least, they were never sympathetic to any mutineers no matter how mean, awful, or crazy the captain was known to be; so I don't see how our dear Wentworth would be able to be of much help. But I could be wrong as to the influence of a highly respected and honored Naval officer. Butby EvelynJean - Derbyshire Writers' Guild

Re: A Circumstance of Tolerable Similarity Chapters 7-9 (Post 3) - 3 years ago

Re: A Circumstance of Tolerable Similarity Chapters 4-6 (Post 2) - 3 years ago

Re: The Curse Chapter 22 - 3 years ago
Thank you for a great and astonishing chapter! You really had me worried with the fight between Darcy and his cousin! Very effective writing! Now how much longer do we have to wait for Darcy to get his courage up to tell Lizzy how he feels? Great stuff! Thank you!by EvelynJean - Derbyshire Writers' Guild
Re: Tales of HMS Laconia, Part 3 of 4 - 3 years ago

I love it! What a situation, right now especially for Mr. Bennet. So glad you can post again in just a few days, I hope this weekend! Thank you!by EvelynJean - Derbyshire Writers' Guild
Re: Cunning and Compromise Chapters 3-4 (Post 2) - 3 years ago
Oh, lovely set up. Wonder who if any will be compromised. Will Wickham be able to get Darcy out and get locked in with Caroline before Lizzy can get there? Or will Lizzy somehow get locked in with Darcy? Or perhaps no one will be compromised this time. So many possibilities; so looking forward to your next chapters. Definitely an intriguing story. Can't wait!! Thank you!!by EvelynJean - Derbyshire Writers' Guild
Re: Love's Adagio: Chapter 6 - 3 years ago
Just lovely, thank you! You described some of the issues with pregnancy so wonderfully, and so wonderfully how a loving husband will react and go into protect mode, no matter what. After 42 years with my wonderful guy, I wish all readers to have this kind of relationship, but you do have to shop carefully, choose carefully; know how your guy is kind to his own mother; makes all the difference.
