Quickie 8: Tired as hell, Challenge up, Plans for NaWriMo

Jul 17, 2010 19:18

Sorry guys, you'll have to put up with my nonsensical ramblings right now.

But I'm tired as hell from last night and all the last minutes I've been doing on my other works. And, oh yeah, from the lack of sleep I've had. I don't know why but I just couldn't sleep and just stared at the ceiling the whole nine fucking hours that I was supposed to be snoozing in.

Nine.

Fucking.

Hours.



Not pictured: ME.
So, currently, I'm just going to finally (FINALLY) reply to all the comments you've given to me over the past week (even then I'm still lagging because I'm taking one too many naps) and prep myself for the next few, as in 2, weeks because I'm going to do the following:

EXERCISE. Damn it, I need to lose weight.

Finally post the The Beatles oneshot 'Promise'

Write down all those 'Aftermath' works and actually post it up.

Pimp out my Fanfic Request that is, and will, be open until we use up all the prompts. Note: to those who requested, I apologize for the crappy work I gave you and I hope to do better in the future.

Finish the rest of my Delusional Duet comics so I have something to post. That way, you don't have to get these posts instead. Everyone wins!

Speaking of my Fanfic Request, I'm still taking them! 100 98 prompts to go! Remember the rules:

1. Choose 2 prompts.

2. Any pairing/fandom you want, if I know it. Even if the pairing is person/object, I'll do it. No, really.

3. You can request multiple times.

4. Your request WILL, promise, be posted in no less than two days. I swear to God. If not, you can demand for another fic or some fanart.

Now, let's talk about NanoWriMo



As all of us writers know, this is the month where we attempt to write a 50,000 word novel without any editing whatsoever. Straight on. This year, I'm planning to join the first time ever.

I'm sure you guys are going 'but November is 3 months away! Why are you telling us this now?'. Well, it's because I want to get your opinion on the story I'm going to try for this NanoWriMo. I have two of them and I would like to know which one sounds better or less retarded.

The Club

Genre: Angst/Drama/Suspense

P.O.V: Third person

Summary: In a sleepy small town, at every Friday night in an abandoned gas station, a group of teenagers get together to get help and support for their messed up lives from the equally messed up.

Warnings: Mentions of sexual, physical, emotion and physiological abuse. Cheating, cutting, drug and alcohol usage, abortion, rape, incest, suicide, cursing.

Characters:
Mareline Dallas - The leader and co-founder of the Club. Oldest at the age of 17. Her secret is that she was physically abused by two of her five brothers when she was a child. Deals with the stress from her life, the Club and secrets through chain smoking.

Cody J. Martin - Co-founder of the Club and helps find new members for it. His secret is that he helps his father and mother sell drugs to other people and has planted fake evidence to blame someone else when they were caught with it. 16 but the largest one in the Club.

Luca Crewe - Member of the Club and tech guy. His secret was that he was sexually abused by his mother and believes that he helped egg her onto her suicide. The calmest one of the group, the 16 plays the peacemaker when Mareline and Cody fight.

Fiona B. Lang - Member of the Club. Her secret is that she had an affair with a married friend of the family and had an abortion paid by the man. 16 and is one of the more fragile cases though she's been in the club since the founding.

Alaine Baxter - Member of the Club. His secret is that he, through the coaching of his brother and father, said his mother was lying about the physical abuse she went through. The youngest at 15, he suffers from depression ever since her death and clings to the Club for support.

Alex Rick - Member of the Club. His secret is that he was emotionally abused by his father and was ignored by his brothers to the extent he tried to unsuccessfully kill himself. 16 and not much known about him after that besides he helps out the Club the best he can.

Marianna Seymour - New member of the Club. Her secret is that she and her brother, Matthew, were in a sexual relationship before he dumped her to get an engagement that'll further their father's business. 16 and not used to the Club.

Yeah...so, I'm hoping that I'll get some feedback.
