My Victorian novel failed on every count, it seems. XD That said, I need a Thackeray icon.

Those are hilarious.

Of course I violate them all, regularly.

5. All heroines have thick waves of glorious hair that tumble to their hips. The more unruly they are, the curlier their tresses tend to be. Frequently those tresses will be a stupendous shade of auburn.


The above was on the list for Medieval Historical Novels and so freaking true..had me giggling like a loon. :D:D
These are great.

Can't wait for your Regency one darling...

Too funny. I particularly chortled at the Edward II and Isabella one, which is word and howler perfect. In fact I've bookmarked that page to read the rest of the linkies later.

I think Standish broke most of my Regency rules, too.

Yes! And painful combs that damage your hair! Not good.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Me too. Oh blush...

[erastes.livejournal.com]

They certainly made me think!

That one was classic - nice to see the Victim Isabella sporked soundly. And the "pervert for liking sex with a 12 year old or for not" bit!

Nod nod. It's like "Where is the history in this historical novel, please?"

Thanks, both of you, for your kind comments - the 'Edward II and Great Victim Isabella' Rules are mine! :) Glad you enjoyed them.
And thanks, Erastes, for posting the links and reminding me what fun I had composing them, and reading the other Rules!

they were excellently done, your Majesty, and showed a real depth of knowledge of the subject. I was very impressed - and highly amused!
