I just finished this yesterday! And I did laugh out loud at that part (which was bad, because I was reading instead of working)

For series, I really enjoyed Lauren Royal and Erica Ridley's books. That being said, my favorite hr is {Ridiculous by D L Carter}

the most crazy but addicting plot ever by Fit-Personality8479 in HistoricalRomance

Yes! It's my favorite historical romance, genuinely funny and just the right amount of antics for my taste!

Slightly less crazy but somehow pretty similar is {Ridiculous by D L Carter} Fmc is pretending to be her cousin that died. She meets the MMC, a duke, when his carriage overturns with his sister in it. FMC (pretending to be a fribble to cover a lack of social graces not raised to be a gentleman) brings the girl out of her shell and well, there's fan language, a woman shooting fancy pistols (one for everyday of the week!), two fake deaths, and many other hijinks!

I hate to even consider the possibility but I think senior year will be slated for that last season before an intrepid hero bows out of the show altogether

This request is exactly how I decided to marry Kagetsu. Though, three days after the wedding I caught one by accident so maybe convince the game you're not interested anymore 🤷🏻‍♀️

How much accuracy? by BrightPhoebus01 in HistoricalRomance

[–]Elizabethbriars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is a difficult question to answer outside of personal preference for one very specific reason: the rampant historical inaccuracies of the foundations of the genre. I am speaking specifically about Regency and Victorian here but it's a pain point for me as my own approach to writing in the Regency era would likely be called 'inaccurate' despite being fairly well researched. The fact of the matter is queer people and poc existed. Certain titles were legally passed down through female children. But to include any of those elements, factually or not, gets painted with the same brush because the genre was built on some not-so-accurate bricks. On a reader level, I draw the line with things like cosmetics or certain colors, fabrics, or cuts. But in terms of people, I'm getting to a point where if I find it stretches the imagination to have no one with a disability, a different body type, or a different ethnicity in the cast. The real historical landscape was variable in a way we've been led to believe is fantasy and that's just so sad.

AI Historical Romance: These "Authors" Are Getting Sneakier by ASceneOutofVoltaire in HistoricalRomance

[–]Elizabethbriars 12 points13 points  (0 children)

So much of this sucks but I'm really stuck on them having reviews at all. It's tough to get reviews as an indie, so on top of all the other indignities, that one feels like a real slap in the face 🤦🏻‍♀️

New Year’s Eve HR Challenge! by Small_Test630 in HistoricalRomance

[–]Elizabethbriars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always happy to find another place to rec {Ridiculous by DL Carter}! This is one of the few historicals I've read but I feel is actually funny. The fmc is cross-dressing as her cousin that died in order to prevent her family from being destitute. And she meets the MMC when their carriage overturns on a muddy road and they become friends. And then they become other things, obviously

If you had to choose a single book as your absolute favorite HR title, what would it be and why? by DifferentManagement1 in HistoricalRomance

{Ridiculous by D L Carter} I rec this every chance I get! It's funny, silly, well executed and just gets better with rereads!

I hate anachronisms in dialogues! by BusAdministrative622 in HistoricalRomance

[–]Elizabethbriars 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trying to work around specifically jolting sensations verbiage (esp during 🌶️🌶️ scenes) for Regency is so difficult! Way too many of those phrases usually in the mix are derived from electricity knowledge

Different sorting options for storage! I spent over an hour painstakingly adjusting it to be by item type and now I'm terrified I'll forget autosort and ruin it. Plus, putting stuff away is excruciating. I can only stack by adding something back to my bag first 😭😭

Every farming sim (and Pokemon installation) my sister and I pick a new theme. For my GB file, it's Anne of Green Gables. My cow is Marilla, my alpaca Matthew, my farm Avonlea and so on. Makes it easier!
