Writers' Salon!

All right, guys, let's get this started.

This is a post for members to post their burning questions to each other. They can be simple, like "when is Character X's birthday," or not so simple "how would you define the relationship between Character X and Character Y?" If there's a story you want that author to talk about, throw in the title (and some points you'd like covered!) and if said author's willing, they can write their answer in a separate post, since I have no idea what the comment word limits are.

Here's how it'll work: an author who's up for answering questions/writing commentaries about stories will leave their name in a comment. Readers who want to ask questions or request stories reply to that comment, and hopefully we'll have some good conversations going!

If you guys request stories, it may be best if you limit them to [community profile] rainbowfic for the time being, unless the story you've got archived outside the comm is in a public entry.

EDIT: If it's not already obvious, you can ask authors more than one question in however many comments you like. The point is to have a discussion, and it wouldn't be very lively if it stopped at one question per author! Just give the author a chance to finish answering your previous questions, of course.

Didn't the Book of the Courtier have digressions about romantic philosophy too? I mean, it was a Renaissance text, how could it not.

I meant more 1800's denial of rationalism than how to flirt.

Most people who become lords already know that second thing.

Most.

It could be worse. It could be these romantics.

No, no, those romantics I like! The eighteenth-century romantics had unpleasant habits like running away with twelve-year-old girls and sticking their penises into anything that would stay still long enough and quite a few things that wouldn't. Those romantics actually have pretty decent music.
