Alas, even fantasy writers must do some research.<br /><br />I am so glad that you have the same nerve I do Kay, maybe some editors will stop by and read this.<br /><br />Thank you everyone for stopping by and posting a comment.N.

Very few American writers got the titles and addresses right.<br /><br />Fortunately, fantasy give you more latitude. You can set your own parameters as long as you're consistent.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14115085533635353291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515938238151905083.post-59343056773412129682010-08-21T10:21:57.278-06:002010-08-21T10:21:57.278-06:00Hi Nancy -- While I was lollygagging over coffee, ...Hi Nancy -- While I was lollygagging over coffee, you already discovered I passed an award on to you today. So I'll just say congratulations and enjoy the fun.<br /><br />I can see a definite advantage to writing fantasy over historical fiction -- the author can make things up in fantasy and avoid all that learning part. :)Patricia Stolteyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17192369425956406122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515938238151905083.post-7878195610759068742010-08-21T08:45:37.818-06:002010-08-21T08:45:37.818-06:00good stuff, nancy, thx... since i do not acknowled...good stuff, nancy, thx... since i do not acknowledge 'royalty' [a staunch son of the republic], i have no clue what's 'appropriate' in addressing them<br /><br />doubtless, whatever i write, grates on the reader/viewer... 'royalty' is long past its usefulness... ok, except in lit/movies ;) lol<br /><br />nor will you see me in a country where it's de rigueur to kowtow to em, since i prefer to live a bit longer...laughingwolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08873675614347328116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515938238151905083.post-65002430142901525832010-08-20T19:05:58.538-06:002010-08-20T19:05:58.538-06:00Thank you Cale.

It isn't always acceptable, but it does show that those below the stature of the king and queen are using respect even when they're in a casual atmosphere.<br />Good post!Mel Chesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200734886454147170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515938238151905083.post-23072190702773971612010-08-20T14:26:16.562-06:002010-08-20T14:26:16.562-06:00There good for Historical novels too and any other...There good for Historical novels too and any other novel that deals with these types of characters.
