Historical/Period Piece Stories?

The only Episode Original period piece I can think of is their Dirty Dancing remake - and their few fantasy stories, if those count. I LOVE period pieces, any stories set in the past/not modern times, but I feel like I never see any!

Does anyone know of any good period piece stories? Is anyone writing one? I sort of have one in the works myself :thinking: :eyes:

I know about Eclipsis by Victoria Masina, but other suggestions are welcome!! :grin:

I’m (kinda) writing one! (I say kinda because it has three timelines, one in the 1600s, another in the 1000s, and another in the present so idk if it counts)

My story takes place in the present day. However, there are multiple flashbacks that take place throughout history (dating back to neolithic times) that are used to fill in backstory as the story progresses. Here’s my story info if you’re interested. :grin:

Story Info

Title: Eternal Oblivion
Author: Silver Lady
Genre: Fantasy primarily with some mystery, action, drama, romance, and just a hint of historical fiction thrown in from time to time (more so in later chapters).
Style: Limelight
Number of Episodes: Ten currently, more on the way.
CC: Kinda. You can’t customize the main three characters (for story reasons), but there is a character for you to customize starting with chapter five. You won’t see much of her to start, but she becomes more important later in the plot.
Description: Something ancient plots unseen in the darkness, and Amara must quickly uncover the mystery surrounding it. Otherwise, all will be lost.

Act of Vengeance by @Rosenspitze is a 1920’s murder mystery set in Germany with a single working woman P.I. who’s also taking care of her best friends’ daughter. She’s trying to crack the case on what happened to her friends as well as the shady dealings in her city. Similar to Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries! I highly recommend it if you like the '20s '30s vibes.

Edit: Oops! She already commented!

Hahaha, I was like ā€œthat sounds SUPER familiarā€ before I realized the same thing :sweat_smile::joy: I haven’t had a chance to read anything the past few days, but it is definitely on my list!! :grin:

Hey there!

Here’s some:

  • MC: Without Eloquence by Kimber Valmont (I think you’d love this!)
  • The Wall by J. Miley
  • Black Shadow by Alex Af (haven’t read this in a while but I recall it being good!)
  • Moonlit Feathers by Wincy W.

(The original story from Episode’s Dirty Dancing is called ā€œAustentatiousā€ by E.R. Gurney; idk if they’re different in any way because I read it before it became ā€œEpisode’s Dirty Dancing.ā€ It’s three times longer in the original than the Episode version!)

Those are some that I’ve read and loved!
