I went back to verify a character mention in chapter 3 because I wanted to use her in chapter 10, and I found a spelling anachronism. So I checked the rest of the chapter and there were a few more, mainly just American spellings vs. British, like color/colour, practice/practise, that sort of thing.
I'm Canadian and here the default is somewhere halfway between British and American, so it makes sense that some would come naturally to me, like "ou" spellings. But, the ones I missed because I didn't even think about them surprised me. I've read enough period fiction that plait vs. braid should have been automatic, but it was not. It's fixed now though; braid is out, plait is in.
So, one character I mentioned in passing in chapter 3, who I want to bring forward to chapter 10, turned into a major fic overhaul. (Which is now complete. Whew). I didn't change any of the plot, so a reread is not required. I did discover that I misunderstood how gaslights work. I originally thought they turned on and off with a simple switch, like electric lights. Nope. When I double checked, I found that if the fire is extinguished, it has to be re-lit externally. It's one of those things that should have been obvious while I was researching. It's interesting to find blind spots after I'm certain I already figured something out.
The gaslight in Katniss's room section has been rewritten to contain a mention of matches 😅
Here's a little chapter 10 excerpt. It's still a draft, but this is the section with the chapter 3 character brought forward:
The young maid takes Katniss's shawl. A flash of recognition dawns. “Harriet?" she asks.
The maid blushes and smiles. "Yes, Katniss. How nice to see you looking so fancy.”
Katniss smiles. "Thank you. It is lovely to see you as—”
Mr Hawthorne interjects. "We mustn't keep the young lady from her duties, Miss Everdeen," he admonishes gently. He turns to face Harriet and hands her his hat. “Thank you, Miss. That will be all."
Harriet's face smooths to a neutral expression. She tilts her head down and curtseys with her hands full of shawl and hat. “Very good, sir," she says as she steps away.
Chapter 9, Situations Vacant, of the Beast of Casterbridge is up
Chapter 8 of The Beast of Casterbridge is (finally!) up
"Thank you, Katniss," says Millie. "I tell you truly: my nerves would not have withstood this night save for you. You feel like kin to me."
Katniss's throat tightens. "And you to me, Millie," she whispers. "I would not have survived the ragged school were you not there beside me."
Their hands join in the dark. "Then we have given each other a sister," says Millie softly. "And it cannot be taken from us by anyone."
Katniss squeezes Millie's hands in hopes that the gesture imparts her feelings. She has not the words to express them.
Some of the locations that appear in the chapter:
Coin: okay, so what do each of you bring to the table
Haymitch: I'm a political mastermind that started working on this revolution over 25 years ago, already blew up the arena twice and I am the best chance you have to get the victors to work with you
Katniss: I'm deadly in combat, can shoot arrows with the precision of sniper bullets and I am literally the face of the revolution
Peeta: I can get Katniss and Haymitch to eat three meals a day, maintain a semblance of a sleep schedule, exercise, stay sober, shower and actually listen when I speak
Coin: that's not-
Plutarch: no, trust me, he's our most valuable asset

How are you? I was just thinking of your story. How is it going?
Hi, thank you for asking how I'm doing. I know there's been a longer gap than I usually leave between chapters. Real life got really heavy on me and I've been dealing with that. I've been working on chapter 8 when I can get some time. I'm at the editing/polishing stage, but it's roughly 8k words so it's a bit of a bear to edit! This chapter will change the trajectory of the story so I want to take the time to get it right. Thanks again for thinking of me. I really appreciate it.
Peeta if it weren’t for the baby Mellark 🧡

Chapter 8 Research
I want to keep the wedding sealed until I post the chapter, so no tidbit this week. But my research led me to this 1882 excerpt from the Collier's Cyclopedia of Etiquette of Courtship and Marriage and it is filled with comedy gold.
On the demeanor of the suitor:
The lover should carefully accommodate his tone and bearing, whether cheerful or serious, to the mood for the time of his lady-love, whose slightest wish must be his law.
On the ring:
It is the gentleman's business to buy the ring; and let him take special care not to forget it; for such an awkward mistake has frequently happened.
On the departure for the honeymoon:
…amidst a shower of old slippers — missiles of good-luck sent flying after the happy pair — gives the word, and they are off, and started on the long-hoped-for voyage!
Link above if anyone wants to dive into the rabbit hole.
The Beast of Casterbridge chapter 7: By Return of Post is up!
Katniss receives correspondence from old friends and a confounding new acquaintance.
The probationers come together.
"let me go!"
"I can't"
it was actually a crime that this wasn't included in the movie- it was just silence and it's not really clear what peeta was even doing. wtf francis. francis when I catch you francis.
(I rant more in the tags lmao)

Peeta: Hey, I heard you like bad boys.
Katniss: Not really.
Peeta: Oh, thank god.
Dear Miss Katniss,
It is with no small degree of astonishment that I find myself writing to you, as I had rather expected that my son's intended might have selected a young lady of somewhat wider acquaintance for the honour of chief bridesmaid. However, as Millicent has expressed her wish with a persistence I can only describe as remarkable, I am pleased to extend to you this invitation.

I'm now kinda obsessed with hunger games characters in Victorian ISH time period
But oh my god I love your fic so much it's giving me braincells-
If you rp I'd love to rp with you
That's such a nice compliment, but I can't take credit for your braincells. That's all you. I don't rp but I love that you're invested enough to want to — that tells me I'm doing something right!
