i agree... long continued stories sometimes become boring to write and even boring to read if there isn't much variety... one shots are way easier and usually grab more interest... i did write a long chaptered story once and the only way i could do it was cuz i co-wrote with a friend... we would alternate chapters and i think the vastly different writing styles kept the interest of the readers going... but haven't really written anything for just leisure for a while though

read your earlier one shots in the other thread as well... not usually the kind of genre I read, but they were very well written, especially the second one "Erected Silence"... i almost felt as if i watched the exchange between the girl and the man...
One thing i noticed though, there isn't much character development in any of ur stories, one doesn't feel connected to them... is that intentional?

PS - looking forward to more writing and more PMs 😊

Hello Gunia!

I know what you mean... Although I almost disagree with the boring part of long stories for the reader. (and that could well be my personal bias for long stories when I read) You make an interesting observation of my characters, something that as the writer here I did not quite see (so no, it wasn't intentional, to answer you) ... and I agree with you now that i think of it. can I say however, that something of a reason in that respect is exactly the difference of a one shot or a continued fiction? (maybe that's just my idea as a reader) I find myself more involved with characters when the going about them goes for a while. In short stints, its mostly (for me) a glimpse of situations, I have seen or not, experienced or not...

then again, i suppose a regular one shot with names, and a time period/characterization/situation easier to relate could make a difference? not certain, but I'm mighty glad you shared the thought, I'll see how it goes the next time I write and post! (= be sure a pm will head your way !!

Hi

Beautiful piece of work I must say. It was very engrossing and precisely portrayed. Thanks a lot for the pm.

I dont know much about your usual writing style, but this one is sure a rare style to find, very professional.

Pm me if you write again

Sur

Thank you for commenting Sur!

I'm glad you enjoy the difference, as you put it, in the writing style. Will definitely PM when I write again - when is a question I can't answer!

I love your writing style, and hte story generally, it was an excellent plot, and the writing style added to the British nobility, i really really enjoyed reading that, I always love historical romances, I hope that you continue this one, or perhaps write a new one.

Hello (don't know you name)!

Thanks for the comment. And historical romances, you do?! We have that in common then, I suppose! There's an archaic aura about them that is fascinating, perhaps it is about everything that we are not and can't be, the intrigue factor!

Shall keep you posted as and when I write again, can't say if it will be this one though, cause i did intend it to be a one shot when I was at it.

i agree... part of the difference between longer works and oneshots is the fact that the characters are not fully developed!
and i do like reading longer works as well, its just that at times some writers can't seem to keep the story moving - it starts to drag or just gets a bit repetitive or predictable (the same problem that ekta kapoor's shows face... 😆)

My name's Hala.
And I don't stop at historical romances, I like everything relating to history, which is actually very odd for a teenager. I love Pirates of the Caribbean, I love to learn about history in every way, Like I have this gigantic book about Ancient Egypt. I believe that I like historical romances because it's like exploring another world, You know, not just that crappy teenage love story, about the dork and jock, and I guess I fail to accept about how I used to like that sort of thing, about a year ago I guess, when I was still twelve years old. You know my relatives told me it wasn't a big change to become a teenager, on the contrary i find myself so different then before that it's scaring me. 😕 Anyway, Sorry I babble, waffle, talk a lot, and I usually type what I feel saying, so there you have it ^___^ Anyway (again) I do so look forward for another update, or story from you, for now i have to finish extra activity for science class (Which I am so going to enjoy).

Keep writing, and keep getting better!

hey ..must say that was classy!

Wow you are a fantastic storyteller!! I didn't want it to end. Loved the whole dance scene and their banter. Continue soon!

Ha ha! Ekta shows are quite the example of stretching a story to amputations or something, I suppose! Shall try to write up something soon, and will definitely look forward to your views thence!

I reckon this will make us mates. The too-young-to-indulge in real stuff (as we call it?) I have that too, enjoying a fictional read in a real set up, especially of eras and places I haven't been...

Hala is a pretty name, can I ask what it means? Shall write the soonest I can and keep the pms coming (=

that guy had stalked her down to the ball, though it appeared something entirely different in the beginning..

he literally forced her to dance with him..n there was some mystery behind it..

he wanted to know the truth..n the person he had accused of hadn't stole actually..

he knew her from childhood..n i think it was love..that is sweet!..but she was alwways mysterious to him..

i loved the way u described her look n dance!

i would want u to continue

-aish

Hello Aish! (assuming that's your name)

Glad you enjoyed reading the interaction and flow of that scene. Mostly I had planed for it to be a one shot, but, honestly I can never predict impulses that take over my writing! (= Shall keep you updated when I post next. Thank you for reading!
