Hooray For Funny Books!
Jun. 29th, 2010 10:51 pmNow here's an etiquette guide I can get behind: Perfect Behavior. It's a satire of 1920s etiquette written by Donald Ogden. I'm reading what I can of it online -- it really is a scream. XD Gonna have to see if I can hunt down an actual copy of it.
-D: Any writing thoughts?-
Been poking around "Secundus" -- one of these days, I'm going to write up an actual summary for that piece. As it is, though, my brain's been racing ahead of me and decided on the children that Victor and Alice will have.
-WRM: Let me guess -- Chester?-
LOL, yeah, he's sort of my constant. But I decided to mix things up a little afterward. Usually my Victor/Alice pairs end up with one boy and two girls -- this one's going to end up with two boys and one girl. After Chester comes twins, Vincent and Lorina.
-VD2: *curious* Now you've got me thinking -- for those of us you've given kids to, have you ever done same-sex twins?-
Yeah, once. Trilogy gets Johanna and Martina, remember?
-VD2: Oh, right!-
I do have a thing for brother & sister twins though, don't I? Maybe we can blame that on BTTF II and Marty Jr and Marlene.
-M2: So, does the fic end with them and their kids?-
No, it ends with a wedding, sort of like "Solicitor's Ward." But as my head is already contemplating a sequel. . . .
-VD: You have to write the fic first. And since it's a NaNo, there's a good chance you're not finishing anytime this century.-
I know! Damn it, Secundus, do not become a miniseries before we know I'll actually write you completely! It's the steampunk aspect, I swear. . . .
