Musing about writing

sparkindarknessTwo things to think about:
First, this novel thing (Nemo, something) after much soul searching, I've decided not to even look at the site. I do not have the time to commit to any mass projects like that, least of all with a time scale. Especially sicne I'd have to fight to find the right story to do it with (it would NOT be Darren/Rick, maybe the sidhe, or Ian)
Second Torquerre(SP?) press - oh yes, I am so writing to them. I think more of Ian, since this is definitely Darren/Rick place predominantly, and I've already sent Ian off... plus there's something more... MARKETABLE about Ian. It's something that is fairly simple, and the rules can be easily explained. The sidhe draw upon too much of fae mythology with is estoceric, different and alien. Generation Gap is frankly too loose and weird. Virtue of Steel is all over the place and I'm really lost on it. Angel was supposed to be a one off anyway.
So, Ian, whose also more flexible than the rest of them anyway.
That's the plan anyway, of course, all good plans, right? No doubt some new people will rise in my brain demanding to spread their mental problems round the world. *sigh* muse explosions are painful.
Oh, and on a side note. The pretty boys on my course are killing me. And there's one I can't decide whether he's utterly gorgeous and one of the best looking guys I've ever seen, or really ugly in a way that suggests a tragic accident involving 3 rabid badgers. It's maddening.

Date: 2003-09-19 10:52 pm (UTC)Spark In Darkness = Darren/Rick
Predator's Predator = Ian
Light & Darkness = Sitharensor/Ilatheril (fae)
Angel = Only one post on net, mainly done for humour purposes, though I may develope it.
Virtue of Steel = Asharra & Co, fantasy adventure
Generation Gap = waait... ahh, no this isn't on the web, still in paper and ink form. It's about vampires.
I'm curious about him too, it's just one of those weird faces that looks all high, planed cheekbones, piercing eyes, perfect bone structure and full lips one second, then looks skeletal, bald, bulging eyed and cruel the other. It's definitely an interesting face - you could stare at it for hours and not get bored.
Still, not worth much effort on - his personality sucks.

Date: 2003-09-20 02:26 pm (UTC)Well, Virtue of Steel is here (just the intro really)Virtue of Steel (http://www.livejournal.com/users/sparkindarkness/16775.html#cutid1)
And Angel is here Angel (http://www.livejournal.com/users/sparkindarkness/14499.html#cutid1)
I'll have to convert it to type first... so there'll be a wait on Generation gap and the sexy vampires :)
Hmm, I may need an index soon, it's getting hard to track everything down

Date: 2003-09-20 09:15 pm (UTC)Is it all right if I poke you until you post Generation Gap? *pokes* Come on, it sounds cool!
Ooh, and yes, index. Makes it easier to find things. Yep.

Date: 2003-09-21 12:30 pm (UTC)*hides from poking* aiiiiie... Ok ok!!! I'll post...
I did write a second part to Virtue of Steel, (more an adaption since it's actually a REALLY old story I wrote to go along with the LARP we were playing - yup Asharra is my cousin, all of the characters were playters in an RPG) the re-read it and decided it was REALLY bad, I mean REALLY bad, so I deleted it...
y'know it just occurs to me that neither of the main characters in generation gap actually have names, they just use "fossil" and "whelp/childe"
