FAQ: What are the most visited pages on this website and how many visits do they get?

Several years ago, I wrote an article on how to write different types of magic uses, or rather how I personally write various types of magic users within the context of my Quaraun books. Today that page is one of my top ten most visited articles. It gets 50 to 500 views/reads/hits/visits per day depending on the time of the years and has had over 200k visits total since it was published.

Amphibious Aliens: Debunking The Atwater Family's Alien Abduction Hoax with more then 30MILLION reads since 2007 and The GoldenEagle: Debunking Stephen King's World's Most Haunted Car Hoax with over tenMILLION reads since 2007 still rank as the two most visited articles on my website, but, neither of those are writing related.

Writing Medieval Servants is my most visited writing related article with over 7MILLION reads.

This website was started in 1996 and has 1 to 3 new articles (all written by me, I am the only writer on this site) published almost daily. In 2017 we crossed ten thousand articles published. As of 2023, EACH article gets MINIMUM 10 to 70 reads PER DAY, with the high traffic articles getting 500+ reads per day.

And since December 2019, my website now gets three hundred thousand to 7 million reads per month - well over ONE HUNDRED MILLION PAGE READS PER YEAR, making it not only the single most trafficked site in the State of Maine, but also one of the most visited websites in ALL OF NEW ENGLAND!

{{{HUGS}}} Thank you to all my readers for making this possible!

Writing Gypsies & Nomads In Fantasy Fiction

In doing my daily rounds of looking for ideas to write about, I can across a reader suggestion, that said: "I don't know if this was already suggested, but this page has great insights on writing fantasy, it's cliches and annoying stuff. What are your thoughts on it? https://curiosityquills.com/limyaael/"

I go to the page expecting an article. Nope. I get there and find one of the most amazing indexes of a long series of rants that are very similar to my own. It's a list of 424 blog posts written by a woman known only as Limyaael. Now I've seen this sort of thing before and usually I'll read an article or two then move one, but not this time. This time I plan to take every blog post and comment on it with why I either agree or disagree with her views.

Why?

Because of one article she wrote. This one: Gypsies & Nomads

Gypsies are a common staple of Fantasy novels. And 9 times out of 10 they are written by an author who has their head stuffed so far up their ass, I wonder if they have encountered anything other a stuck up white prick like themselves before or not.

As you know, I am a Gypies and I hate the sick, disgusting, narrowminded, racist, bggoted, mean, steryotyped, and often down right hateful way my people are portraied in novels.

And so when I saw that this Limyaael woman had written and article on how to write Gypsies in Fantasy, well, it was the very first one of her articles I read, because I wanted to find out if she was yet another brainless, biggoted, jackass creep who tosses in Gypsies without ever researching our culture or, is she an inteligent person with a functioning brain and the ability to research a race before including them. This woman, like so very few authors on the planet, not only has a brain in her head, she actually knows how to use it.

And so I went on to read a few more of her articles and yep, this woman actually thinks before she writes about a culture, a gender, a sexuality, a religion, and so on. I like this woman way of thinking and I wish more authors out there would take her advice before they slap sterotypes in their novels. 

But, anyways, here you go, me responding to her series of blog posts on how to write Fantasy novels... 

Writing Gypsies & Nomads In Fantasy Fiction

1) Why are they wandering?

She starts right in with raising this point: 1) Why are they wandering? 

And though she doesn't give the correct answer to why real world Gypsies "wander", she does make many valid points.

The thing most authors fail to consider, when creating a Gypsy character, is the fact that Gypsies are Jewish, and "wander" because they are constantly being slaughters by arrogant, egomaniac, anti-semitic, white power shitheads, also known as Christians.

Gypsies are homeless because it's rare for Jewish people to be settled for long before Christians rape their women, murder their children, and raze their homes. This has been going on since the 800s and continues today in 2018.

Families fleeing in terror, running for their lives, is NOT a nomadic wandering race. 

Gypsies do not nor did they ever live on the road willingly. 

Gypsies do not nor did they ever enjoy living in tiny tents and wagons. 

The Roman Soldiers, The Templar Knights, The Catholic Church, The Spanish Inquisition, The British Lobsterbacks, The Puritans, The German Nazi's, The Baptist Church, The American Ku Klux Klan, The Sovereign Citizens, are just a few of the biggest names in anti-semitic terrorism, known for their tormenting and slaughtering of Jewish families.

And so I second her question, by asking YOU, dear reader, WHY are YOUR Gypsies wandering?

Who is chasing them? How many of their family members have been killed? How many houses were destroied?

If you want to write about normads, then pick a damned nomadic race to write about.

HINT: it's ain't Gypsies. We aren't nomads. We're farmers of horse and sheep. The ONLY time we travel, is when we are fleeing the white power jackasses of the world.

3) The gypsies/wanderers don’t have to be fortune-tellers.

In this section she has a list of things authors use when describing Gypsies in Fantasy novels:

We do in fact use crystals, though they are gemstones that fit in the palm of your hand, not the big clear glass balls of movies.

Tarot is NOT a part of our culture, but we do read cards. Just not tarot cards.

Reading tealeaves is a Chinese art. We Gypsies are NOT Chinese and therefore have no tradition of tealeaf reading.

Brightly coloured wagons... here, have a picture of my car and motorhome:

moving on...

Knowing smiles? What in the heck is a knowing smile? I'm an author. I've written 130+ novels and 2,000+ short stories. All of them featuring Gypsy characters like myself. I've never written the term knowing smile. I've no clue what a knowing smile even is or means.

Weirdly smelling incense? It's likely not incesnes, but rather the clove and anise that we use to wash our hair, and the patchouli and sandalwood that we wash our clothes and bedding in.

Wailing fiddles? That implies music, and possibly dancing. Music and dancing are taboo in our culture. We do not perform music, play instruments, sing, or dance, these things are seen as evil in our traditions.

Evil cackles. Actually, several people have told many women in our clan (myself, my mother, and both my grandmothers included) that our laughs sounded like evil witchy cackles and people have mentioned that our style of laughing is unusual and unlike how normal people laugh... I then have to ask what it is they mean by "normal" people, to which they say "real people, you knowm us Humans, not Gypsies".

Hmmm.

I'm so tired of people telling us we are not Human or real people.

In this same section she also states:

Look hard at your gypsies.
Look honestly.
Is the only reason they’re there to provide a fortune-telling scene?
If so, expand their role or cut them out. 

I have to say, I agree.

We Gypsies have lives you know. We do stuff.

Heck, we even eat drink and sleep. 

Who knew?

I really liked this woman's article about writing Gypsies until she got to this stupid, know noting, head stuffed up her ass line:

4) Try making the gypsies really different.
Dark-skinned human wanderers are usually the only gypsies in an author’s world, whether by accident or design.
...

Why not make the wanderers pale-skinned? Probably because the vast, vast majority of human fantasy characters are pale-skinned, of course, and so pale skin isn’t “exotic” enough.

I'm sorry, here, have a picture of a real live Gypsy... 

me:

Here, have a few more...

At what point are we Gypsies "dark skinned"?

Please explain it to me.

And, I'd like the Ku Klux Klan to explain it to me too. It'd be nice to know WHY they blew up my house with a bomb for not being white, when my skin is 10 shades paler then their white sheets are.

And then she says this...

Why not gypsy dwarves? Well, because it’s hard to conceive of dwarves traveling about in wagons and telling fortunes and dancing around fires, that’s why!

Dancing around fires?

I'm sorry, when has any Gypsy anywhere EVER danced around a fire?

When.

Please, tell me WHEN?

Dancing is taboo in Gypsy culture.

Dancing is FORBIDDEN in Gypsy culture.

We Gypsies DO NOT dance!

WHO WE ARE IS THIS:

Do remember: The Roma ARE NOT Gypsies and nor are the Travellers. And no amount of calling them Gypsies is ever going to make them Gypsies, and no amount of reality TV calling them Gypsies is ever going to make them Gypsies either. Why? Because the word Gypsy means: "The People who Lived among the egyptians" and guess what? The Roma did not live in Egypt any more than the Travellers did.  Neither group are Gypsies because neither group lived with the ancient Egyptians.

There actually is an actual RACE who are called Gypsies, and no they are NOT the Romas. It is highly offensive to the Gypsies for you to call yourself a Gypsy when a simple DNA test will prove you have no blood link to them at all.

Do note that Gypsies, Travellers and Romany are THREE separate groups.

There are millions of nomadic people who inaccurately are called (by themselves and by others) Gypsies.

I am a Gypsy.

I am NOT a Roma

Roma ARE NOT Gypsies.

I am NOT a Traveller

Travellers ARE NOT Gypsies either.

Few people realize that there is an ACTUAL RACE whose name is CORRECTLY called Gypsy.

And of course, because Gypsy is a race of people, they can be male or female, adult or child.

A race differs from a culture or ethnicity in that race has distinct physical features. For example: Gypsies have olive toned skin, most have dark hair and green eyes, most are very short and tend to be on the chubby side. The have high cheekbones and long noses. You can identify them to look at them, without seeing their cloths or habits, which therefor makes them a unique and distinct race.

Gypsy is a racist term when it is used to describe Romas, Travellers, hippies, carnival people, boatmen, or ANY other group of nomads who are not by DNA blood ACTUAL Gypsies.

Travellers come in English, Welsh, and Scottish, in addition to Irish, though the Irish Travellers are the most common, most liberal, and most likely to be seen by outsiders.

The Welsh and English Travellers are far fewer population wise, and tend to be more secretive. While the Scottish Travellers are the smallest group, and also the most reclusive type of Traveller.

Travellers are the most likely to travel cross the country, though many are now settled.

Travellers are white people (often blond or redhaired) of Celtic (Roman/Italian) descent.

Romany are more reclusive then Travellers, thus why you see Travellers more often then Romany. Some Romanies still travel, but many are now settled. There are dozens of sub-groups or types of Romany, each with their own culture, and name.

The Romany are brown/tan people with dark hair and dark eyes, they are of Indian/Hindi descent and many groups still speak and dress in various Indian/Hindi derived languages. They settled in Romania for a few centuries, thus how they came for be called Roma/Romany. Many of them later settled in Spain and adopted Spanish language and habits  into their culture, thus why many today speak Spanish and are Catholic.

Gypsies are the most reclusive of all. RARELY having contact with outsiders. They also don't travel. ALL Gypsies are settled farmers. TRUE Gypsies (the actual race, not the slang "lifestyle" term that gets slapped on other races) are listed on the registry of Endangered Indigenous Peoples. There are fewer then 2,000 confirmed to still be alive as of the last census count in 2012. 

The Gypsies are often called "The Scottish Gypsies" because Scotland was their most recent extended stay location. They are also often mistaken for Scottish Travellers, who have no relation to them at all.

The Gypsies originated in Iran, in Persia, during the time of King Darius (the king mentioned in the Bible, who put Daniel in the Lion's Den). The Gypsies descent from Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego of the Bible. (Not them directly, but from the priests of the order they created.) According to the stories, after the "Lion's Den" incident, King Darius made Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego high priests in his court. While there, they founded a "secret order of priests" known as The Brotherhood of The Magi (aka The Wise Men at Jesus birth in the New Testament.)

The Magi, under the rule of Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were seen by the people of Persia as powerful wizards and soothsayers, known for telling the future, divination, interpreting dreams, and speaking one on one with the spirits of the dead. They were also noted for their outlandish red, blue, and purple silk robes heavily embroidered with silver and gold sun, moons, and stars. This is where the myth that Gypsies are "magical" or have "psychic powers" came from. (And boy is that a myth I wish would go away! Yie!  Every week, I have to deal with some American walking up to me and saying: "So I heard you were a Gypsy. Can you sense anything about ____. What do you see happening about ____" It's incredibly annoying and frustrating how many people think the word Gypsy is interchangeable with psychic or witch. But it's our starting out as a branch of the Brotherhood of the Magi that started that stereotype, and no matter how hard we try to explain to people we are not born psychic, Americans simply refuse to accept or believe that. 

When King Darius' empire fell, The Brotherhood of the Magi gathered up their families and fled to Mongolia. In Mongolia they were (centuries) later captured by the Vikings and lived as "slave shaman" to the Vikings. They eventually escaped and ended up in Scotland, where they assimilated into the Pictish society.

When the Celts (Romans/Christians of Constantine) invaded Britania and killed most of the Picts, the Brotherhood of Magi once again took their families and fled back to Egypt. They lived in Egypt for centuries, where they became known as "the Gypsies" which meant: The people Who Lived Among the Egyptians.

In the 1400s they attempted to go back to Scotland and were chased by the Celts to Germany. During this short time in the British Isles, the Irish called them both "The Little People" and "The Leprechauns". Because they are very short, most of their women not much over 5'1" and most of their men under 5'9" and because of the elaborate curly toed red silk beaded shoes they made (the word Leprechaun means "shoe maker").

In the 1500s they tried to return to Scotland again, this time being captured by the British loaded onto a ship and marooned in the New World in about 1530. They settled in land that is now known as Old Orchard Beach, Maine, and lived among the Native American peoples. In the 1640s they were given a land grant by King George. In 1911 they legally bought the land from the American government (I still have the original receipt). In 1996 Stephen King's film crew decided to film the movie Thinner on their land. 

Today in 2015, the Gypsies still live on the land they have been on since 1530 and still wear the old Persian style heavily embroidered silk robes, and are still seen by locals as powerful psychics, known for telling the future, divination, interpreting dreams, and speaking one on one with the spirits of the dead... even though we don't do that sort of thing at all these days. Much of our culture and traditions remain virtually unchanged for centuries. Because of the way we dress and look and because of our extremely olde style "Arabian" fundamentalist traditions, they are often mistaken by outsiders as being Muslim.

This one little TINY group of people from Persia, is the ONLY group that is truly and correctly the race called The Gypsies. If you were not born into this group, you are not a Gypsy, no matter what you look like, how you dress, what your hobbies are, or how much you travel. These people did live among the Egyptians for many centuries and they were named Gypsies by the Egyptians, and no other group on the planet has the right to use the word "gypsy" to describe who they are.

The Roma are NOT Gypsies.

The Travellers are NOT Gypsies.

Hippies are NOT Gypsies.

Only the small sub-group of the Persian Brotherhood of the Magi (aka The Magicians) who lived for many centuries in Egypt, and were named by the Egyptians as Gypsies, can truly and correctly lay any claim to the title of Gypsy.

And can we side track this here for a minute please, and look at the line where she states this:

Thinking about wandering elves, I realized how strongly I tend to associate elves with a sense of place, of permanence, despite all the unwarranted fading that they do in a lot of fantasy books. The stereotypical elves stay in one forest or mound or fairy kingdom all their lives, unless they go adventuring with the raggle-taggle band in which they’re Token Elf. But why? Think it’s hard to justify a band of immortals traveling for years around a human country? Come up with a justification that fits, and I bet it’ll be a doozy.

This woman is supposedly well read in Fantasy fiction, has hundreds of blog posts where she makes claims to likely having read every Fantasy book to ever include Elves or Gypsies, and yet, she makes THAT statement.

Well, clearly she never read the Quaraun series, you know a series of 130 novels published from 1978 to 2018, about a Gypsy who is also an Elf, and spend 750 years wandering all over the planet.

No story in the Quaraun series takes place in the same place. He travels all over the freaking world, and wait a minute, let's go back to that other thing she said here...

Why not gypsy dwarves? Well, because it’s hard to conceive of dwarves traveling about in wagons and telling fortunes and dancing around fires, that’s why!

Bullgaar the Dwarf, travels with Quaraun for 8 volumes of the series and FarDarrig (a very Dwarf-like Leprechaun) travels with Quarraun off and on again in over a dozen novels of the series, AND FarDarrig himself owns, travels in, and lives in a Vardo aka a painted Gypsy wagon.

Moving back into comparing real Gypsies with Fantasy ones, and we find she says this...

On to the other commonly used trope, the half-gypsy child whose mother is a villager and whose father was the love ‘em and leave ‘em type. Usually, everyone hates her. Woe. Then she does something heroic, and the villagers instantly accept her, or she goes back to her father’s people and is instantly accepted, hooray.

She continues on with a rant on how half-breds and bastards in general are over used, but never once does she adress the fact that until very recent years adultry was punishable by death in Gypsy culture.

Death.

Beheading to be specific.

You fuck a woman, she better sure as hell be your wife, because you'll lose your head.

In rare instances, you may only be castrated and not executed.

Beheading adulterers was still being practiced as recently as 1957.

There is no such thing as an unwed mother of a half-Gypsy. 

The fact remains that Gypsy culture is largely asexual. Sex is seen as a sacred act used to consummate a marriage (we do not have weddings in Gypsy culture, no, no big wedding dresses either. Sorry, but the Big Fat Gypsy Wedding Franchise is fake, has no real Gypsies on it and fooled the hell out of stupid people who look to TV for accuracy.) Sex is done very rarely, with many Gypsies going decades between intercourse. The culture as a whole is VERY anti-sexual.

What do you want to become? 
What did you do today to step closer to that goal?
Whatever you do, be your best at it!
And remember to have yourself a great and wonderfully glorious day!
