A long month

Jun 23, 2007 11:27

Has June dragged on for anyone else? Seriously, I look at my calender and can't help but think it's still June. The weather has felt more like late July/August in that I'm on the verge of a heat stroke every time I go to work. I can't wait for the monsoon season to finally kick in. I really miss the rain.

So, apparently I didn't have anything much to worry about with my Cam/Vala fic. People seem to like it and that is such a relief. Like I've said, Stargate is not really my fandom so I wasn't sure people were going to buy into anything that I wrote. Hell, for all I knew, the story would be laughed at, put down, and I would be told to never attempt another. Instead, I've actually had a sequel request. I'm thinking about that one, though not sure if I will.

Thank you to officersun524 for posting links at GW and TF. You didn't have to but I appreciate that you liked my story enough to even consider doing that let alone actually doing it. ((hugs))

As for my original work... uh, it changed. Again. But I'm looking at this in a positive light. What started out as a story about three people lost in a different world, has turned into this giant with seven heads. The three are still a very integral part of the story, only I added a character that is essential to their survival and as a result of this new character, another one popped up. She's the most interesting so far.

Interesting in that she's suddenly taken over!

I have suddenly found myself researching the end of the Roman Empire, 18th century France and England, 19th century France and England, the U.S. Civil War, WWI and II, the Dust Bowl, Korean War and Vietnam War. My initial story has led to this new character creating her own world, with her own story, in a completely separate but important to the whole to the story, book. It's more like a memoirs, but a story nonetheless. Fortunately I was already researching many parts of history, like Babylon and Egypt for example, on my way to the present, so this new bit isn't that hard.

Somehow everything will fit together. I've already run the idea past my mom, just so I could hear it and see what a reaction would be and she thinks it sounds intriguing. This new story with this new character is going to be important for one of the characters as she goes on her way to finding the three characters I had initiall set up.

Wow, just typing this out it seems confusing. I wonder how in the world it's all making sense in my head. Oh well, I've given myself a seven month timetable, who knows what will happen. Hopefully something good. *pleads for something good*
