How do you envision your daily routine as a member of the Victorian aristocracy?
Glory_feeling2
@HistoricalFiction Not sure if the novel "Anne of Green Gables" took place during Victorian aristocracy, but I can imagine myself being a character in those times. I would have loved to meet Anne Shirley and all her other friends. And we'd do all of her childish antics together!

Pinned to the notice board inside the Wattpad Tavern, where the Historians of the HistoricalFiction Guild often gather:
A new piece has been quietly delivered from a mysterious source, slipped beneath the door before dawn. No seal, no signature — only the weight of a story worth a historian’s eye.
Those who keep our guild’s chronicles, who sift meaning from memory and emotion, may wish to take a flier on the excerpt below.
From @TheShortys
Shortys Fans, the wait for goodies is over!
Our favorite stories are ready for you to devour, starting with this heartbreakingly beautiful teaser by @SayeshaL
***
When her father returned from work that evening, she asked him very demurely, "Papa, what does seeing mean?"
Her father froze, stunned. He tried to brush the question away, but Iris began to cry — great sobs racking her small chest — "Everyone sees blue, Papa, and I want to see blue too."
His heart shattered into a million pieces.
He knew he could not evade the conversation forever.
Iris, only five, was certain that her father was crying, though she could not see it. She felt it in the tremor of his hands, the heaviness of his breathing, and the warm drops that fell on her frock.
"Darling," he whispered, voice frayed, "there is a world outside — a world everyone can see."
In the smallest voice, she asked, "Why can't I?"
Her father pressed her hands to his face, unable to stop his tears.
"Does that make me sick, Papa?"
"No, sweetheart. You are not sick. The colours, the world... they can be felt and known. Just not in the way others do."
She frowned, lips trembling. "Will I get it later? Blue? Will I get to see blue later?"
He had no answer—only silence.

What’s the first thing you’d do if you were suddenly crowned monarch of a past era?
junghoseokandbts
If I became the ruler...maybe I'd first figure everything out first...
I'd try to understand my people's needs and just try my best even if it's imperfect...

@HistoricalFiction The first thing I will do is to be a righteous and wise king, to expand my power, to help the poor, and not be thoughtless and wasteful like other kings.
Glory_feeling2
@HistoricalFiction Unlike most monarchs I read in historical books, I'd be kinder toward my fellow subjects and to the townspeople.

✨ Would You Rather ✨
Would you rather be the trusted confidant of Dorothea Brooke from Middlemarch or the steadfast ally of Marianne Dashwood from Sense and Sensibility?

@ HistoricalFiction Dorothea Brooke
SeraDrake
@HistoricalFiction - Confidante of Dorothea Brooke. She makes monumentally stupid decisions for the noblest of reasons - clearly, she could use someone who is willing to tell her when she's about to be an idiot.
ArthurRex12
@HistoricalFiction Unfortunately I've never read either so I can't really say which I would choose.

Thank you for adding my book" Amina the Queen of Zazzau" to your reading list. Please let me know what you think afterwards. Thank you.
HistoricalFiction
@hindhatuhalidhu You're welcome! It was a great story. :)

✨ Would You Rather ✨
Would you rather be the romantic partner of Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice or Catherine Earnshaw from Wuthering Heights?
Araminami110
@ HistoricalFiction If I had to choose, I’d probably pick Elizabeth Bennet, but for a partner, I think I’d want someone a bit different from me—like an extrovert who is also understanding.
VeraLoy
@HistoricalFiction Lol, I'd like to live afterwards so, Elizabeth Bennet :)
