...it wasn't so late...

Apparently Tim's confused by my vampire fic. It's going to need more work this week. *SIGH*
We spent like 2 hours on the phone discussing it...
Did make some background textury things, and some funky screens though.






__Edit__ added a third texture set...really neat thing I discovered while playing around in PSP.

*hugs twins* Actually, I forgot to mention... the twins are the stars of the sequel series once I 'finish' Def. *SIGH*. Oh well, long way off.

The problem with the AI plot thing is that, though I like Natasha a lot, and I love the nameless AI, and I love their whole fluff thing, I can't make their world work. Brain's convinced that most of the robots aren't self-aware, and nameless AI is an accident controlled by the government. Vampires are also secret, essentially, though most people know about them, and Natasha is some other kind of special agent.

*hmmms at Gurad* Maybe he wasn't captured, maybe he was trapped somewhere, like a cave-in?

Brain--Oooh, Def sequel!!!!!!

Me--Cave in???? That could work!! *hops!*

Okay, um. The world doesn't work because of the robots not being self-aware or just because it's annoying?

[cha-aka.livejournal.com]

lol... think I left out a sentence there somewhere. The world doesn't work because I can't get the vampires' vibe and the robots' vibe to jive. Although... my brain seems to have changed it's mind a few minutes ago and likes it again. *smacks brain* I'll have to think about it.

*hmmms* You could also half-way do the Gurad killing criminals thing. Most people wouldn't believe the whole 'vampire killings' headline, they'd think it was a serial killer who happened to be a vampire or something. So you could have a police investigator type, maybe even a vampire antagonist, but not the big huge public issue. Right?

*happened to be a vampire aficionado *smackfron*

[so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com]

*ackry* I was going to say, "A serial killer who happened to be a vampire...?" rofl.

Anyway, yeah, the serial killer thing would work too! See, this is why I need you guys. lol.

*smacks brains in general* Well, I hope you can get it to work because I like the premise a lot.

FYI, added a 3rd texture set to this post.

Um... *carky*?

[cha-aka.livejournal.com]

lol *hops* glad to be of service. *peruses other post.* What else was going on with Gurad? Brain's getting confused with all it's fandoms going on at once.

And yeah, I'm liking this AI thing more and more all of a sudden even though I haven't changed anything. But I'm leaning toward not doing it for NaNoWriMo... maybe waiting until next year to do that. *sigh... ponder*

I just emailed my grandpa tonight and told him I'd be doing NaNoWrimo, so if I don't, my brain will probably kill me.

Um... well, my friend the prof was confused by the # of chars in the fic I just finished that Sarah's beta-ing. He says that he wasn't sure what the "main" conflict was, and that I need to make Darius be around more before the end because I spend too much time on Gurad's inner conflict and not enough on the external conflict with Darius. I thought the Darius conflict was less important than Gurad's inner struggle, but according to my friend, developing that more will make the number of characters seem less confusing. I dunno about that, but oh well, I'll try it.

I think in the next fic (the NaNoWrimo one) I also have to do a scene where Steve lets Gurad drink from his wrist after Gurad was injured. Brain's got the whole scene planned, it just didn't end up fitting in the first fic.

And...Brain insists that Nilla and Steve should be fluffy... *headdesk*

[cha-aka.livejournal.com]

Eh, my main issue with NaNoWriMo is the time, which I don't have. In my mother's current frame of mind there's no way I can take time off, and without it I don't think I can do that much writing. Although, if I have a really good idea I might just have to do it anyway.

I haven't read the fic of course, but sometimes it can feel weird to have the antagonist only in the foreground for the denoument. Although if he's ENOUGH not around, then it becomes totally about Gurad's inner conflict, which I like just as much. That probably wasn't helpful, but hey.

BTW, I'm not sure what'll happen to my net at 2:00. My Bellsouth Parental thingies shut it down at 2, but since Bellsouth isn't working... *shrug*. Possible-vuss.

[so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com]

okiedaya, possible-vuss. I really should go to bed anyway, but yeah. I think the story can stand to have some more Darius. I just need to figure out WHERE and HOW to fit more Darius in. Maybe once I'm supposed to be sleeping the brain will give me ideas.
