Plotline Ahoy?
Jan. 9th, 2007 11:43 pmJust spent some time with my Beta email about "Boy Genius" (I copied it into its own WordPerfect file), hashing out what I want to happen, and I think I've got something plausible that still "fits" into the original mold of events -- and doesn't fuck with the Sturmhalten stuff. Because, as much as I'd like to spare Agatha that, come on. Battle Circus. Klaus being badass. GIANT WAGON DINGBOTS.
-TD: So, work can begin anew on that?-
Yup. I'll probably start again this weekend, after reading some more canon during this week. I think I can get away with grabbing Maxim from the rescue party, but let's reread to make sure he doesn't do anything insanely important. I mainly recall him fanboying Veilchen.
-H: *beam* So I get to keep my boyfriend?-
I think I can swing it. Emily meeting and falling for Ardsley will have to happen off-screen between sequels, though.
-E: I can live with that.-
-D: What about other stories?-
I'm averaging one and a half pages a day for both "Gift and Curse" and "Time Mix-Up." "Time" feels a little rough, but it's a first draft, so I won't worry overmuch about it. They're both getting close to the end.
-VD: And then what?-
I was thinking rewriting "Boy Genius" in the journal, but I'm not sure about other projects. Perhaps I'll spend some time with the purple notebook.
-VD2: *patpats head* Of course, sweetie.-
*glares* I AM going do to something with that!-
-DW: You really should at least put your Sim information in. Like your challenges.-
Yeah, really. Be easier just to print them out, of course, but I can swing handwriting it. Ink's expensive.
-HD: How's the typing going?-
Well -- I got a small chunk on "Marty In Wonderland" done earlier, and I'm doing another Drabbles88. Finally using one of the time prompts, though it isn't a time-travel ficlet.
-HD: *suspicious* Why do I think this has something to do with American McGee. . . .-
It's not in the actual McGee universe, if it makes you feel better. It's sort of a postscript to the "Marty Dreams Wonderland" trilogy stories.
-MF: Good. Cause whenever you have an idea about the McGee Marty, it creeps me the hell out.-
It DOES have a happy ending, you know.
-MF: Even still. . . .-
( Since I Was In a )
-VD: Edits! My kingdom for "V.D." edits! *pokepokepoke*-
Okay, okay, I'll go! Sheesh.
-HD: *conversationally* You are aware you're poking a woman who just got what is commonly known as "the curse," right?-
-VD: *backs off like whoa*-
-OD: Dirty pool to get more on "Marty In Wonderland," or simple concern for a fellow Doc?-
-HD: *drinks tea* Little of both, really.
