Heh, I’ll check out the blog tonight when I return home. The Night Witches were an all female Soviet Fighter and Bomber (of a sorts) squadron. Had shite planes, and used to keep their planes shut off so the Germans wouldn’t hear them coming. And good luck with the derogatory terms/insults… try not to make it sound too forced just cause you want characters to make fun of other characters.

Nope, still says my account doesn’t have permission to view that post. There’s also the Night Witches for WW2 fight pilots. Little more applicable to what yer talking about originally. But the idea could certainly open up some interesting stuff.

That link wasn’t working. But look at the Scythians for some inspiration. They inspired the Amazons of Myth (and were called such by the Greeks), and did a lot of cavalry fighting and horseback archery, including the use of the famous Parthian shot. And there were many female warriors among their number. But if your looking for specific names used… you are going to have to make them up, outside maybe some of the ones I dropped earlier. There’s not many female only military units in history. Just a lot of units that had females fighting within them.

And modern battle kit can be upwards of 80 lbs as well, yet women still wear it. I’ve worn it (Canada has had female infantry since 1989). Let’s not go down that particular route if you actually want to discuss female warriors. Also you’ve been vague on the time period you want to heavily draw from. The “standard plate armour” you spear of wasn’t in use until the later medieval ages as well, yet you were mentioned Spartans and Amazons, who wore much less. “Pre-gunpowder” is a massive stretch of time. Thousands of years. There’s also images and accounts of women wearing chain and plate armour(Joan of Arc is the biggest and most famous one). So… while maybe not many women may be the same kind of warrior, that can also depend on a society and how much they expect their women to be battle fit. So, we can actually have a discussion about female warrior types in a world that clearly isn’t entirely historically accurate. Or we can used tired old arguments that people use to try and convince others that women shouldn’t be able to get into Combat Arms trades in the modern military…

I was inspired by a picture. Basically the scene on the couch. And this idea just burst into my head. I knew I didn’t have the time to really write out a full story, so I decided on smutty one shot.

A review for “Closing Time” by Clover Reef. Or Plague Clover… depending whether yer reading her library, or chatting with her. I can imagine the editing thing indeed. I’m glad you enjoyed the story overall, and that it was indeed HOT! As for the setting and characters… totally made them up on the spot for this one particular one shot. However, I do have a broader setting and a backstory for the world at large and Lili herself. Will I eventually put this down into a proper tale… maybe. I want to finish Blood and Lace first. As for the critique part. Please, let me have it. I’ve been a bad girl with them spelling mistakes and overlong sentence structure. The lengthy sentences is something I need to harp on myself more to be honest (almost typed “though” :P). Prevent that droning sensation from happening. As for the second point… I’m usually so hard on myself for ensuring that different words are used. Must have slipped in this one. Alas, and alack. Thanks for the points! And yes… Scottish accents always help.

Nordic Shield Maidens. Germanic Hex bearers. Britannic Hand-maidens of Andraste. Chinese Widow Warriors. I mean, if you’re bringing in fantasy and mythology there’s really no limit to what you can do. Most cultures that had female warriors had them fighting alongside men most of the time. Look at the Scythians (AKA. The real Amazons that the Greeks based their myths off of). There wasn’t a lot from history or myth that had female only, and alas most mentions of females fighting in conflict get swept gently under the rug to be ignored for the most part. Sometimes outright denied. The Amazons though are interesting. You have the Greek mythical versions that fought like Hoplites in modern retellings, but were heavily based off the Horse nomad culture of the Scythians that were more Egalitarian. A culture which bled into nearby Thrace as well, who also had warrior queens. Then there’s the “Libyan Amazons” much later in north Africa. And of course the female warriors in Brazil that attacked explorers, reminded them of old Greek myths, and had them name it the Amazon rainforest/river.

Death may be death… but who here watches Vikings? That’s one way to pull it off.

Lol. Mostly?

I can see how what you wanted could have gotten swamped easily in a full on beach orgy scene fully written out, still I think overcompensated is a good word choice. It’s honestly a small point in the grand scheme of things.

Isn’t there themes and such though? How you starting without that? Or is it just: “Halloween! Go ghoulies!”

Fair enough. It sounds like a good fun time. And Halloween usually… usually… isnt too busy for me.

Well now I have something to look forward to in the future!

Oh, thank you for sharing. But yeah, I get what a review can mean. I was wondering what happened to all yer stuff. I was told you had much. And I wanna see more of that setting. Also yes. More Arenin stuff. That was so utterly… alien to read.

Who usually organizes these things? Seems fun to jump into.

I don’t know much about this Halloween entries and round robins. I’m guessing there’s details somewheres around here.

I’m quite aware of the threads one can make in these forums for just such a purpose. But that really only reaches this audience here, and that really relies on having a catchy title to get someone to click to open said thread. I’m more curious how others go about promoting their work online. I know everytime I post a chapter I post it on Tumblr and Twitter, and plug out a notification on the various Discord channels I belong to. But how do you folks go about doing it? And any tips or tricks for others to try and promote their stuff where promotions might catch some attention and draw in them Dragon Prints?

May seem lame, but regeneration and immunity to disease.

Pretty good, just remember the golden rule. Every woman is different, just like every man. What might work for one woman, might no be the case with another. There’s lot of factors to this stuff.

Chapter 7 of Blood and Lace is now up and available.

I certainly do what I can madame. Your welcome for the review, but thank you for sharing the tale with us all.

Could always just leave small hints that it’s been them all along. That way when they do show up, it’s a surprise, but it’s not Deus Ex.

Would there not be some form of suspense in how you write and handle the smaller parties tasks and such? Just because their actions are helping, doesn’t mean the main party can’t still fail… or that the smarter party can’t fail. I’d say show both PoV’s, otherwise you will crash right into that Deus Ex Machina.

Oh, and I appreciate it regardless. It was a typo after all.

Two reviews. Since I just opened this topic… but they are quite new. The first, from JayDee Glad my description was eye catching enough. That’s part of the battle right? Heh. So glad you enjoyed the little journey in a steamy affair that started with just a drink. The spelling errors I went and fixed. Thank you for pointing those out. Though I feel like something got cut off here... The second review is from TCR! Excellent! It was fun writing this, and for a story that only focuses on two people, their interactions have to be entertaining at the least. Otherwise the whole thing crumbles so I’m glad you enjoyed that, and then the smutty bits of course. I did fix the dice thing to make it more clear that I wanted it plural. Some poor word choice on my part, and as noted, I fixed the spelling mistakes. As to the fight… well I want to work more on my other stories before I go exploring what Lili does, and who she is.
