We loves the internets :D

You know, it being the summer holidays and me having free time every day now, it would be really, reeeally nice to oh, I don't know, WRITE SOMETHING X(

I won't end up with anything, of course. They'll all wait until it's the start of semester and I'm getting classes sorted again, and then I'll get a "Hey! Hey! You know what would be great? ME ( Read more... )

...those seem to work on my muse. [cannot, curently, stop writing about attack pigs] Find a concept too interesting not to look at closer and keep scribbling notes/randoms until a plot bunny pops its little whiffly nose up to be ruthlessly pounced upon.

Those are mighty drums.

Attack pigs! Actually big pigs scare me quite a lot. >_> More so than Pratchett's attack ravens, definitely. Where did the attack pigs come from?

That's the most frustrating part! I keep coming up with interesting ideas - I have a whole LIST - but no-one bites. I write a paragraph and then scribble cranky lines through it all. It's been driving me crazy all year.

It's probably the lack of chocolate in my diet over here. MUST BUY CHOCOLATE. *bangs rhythmically on walls*

They come from Little Latrezet. It's an idea I've wanted to fit somewhere for ages and never got the chance to. With the Aldora project it's quite fine to wantonly abandon spare ideas to the four winds...maybe something within guidelines like that'd help? Tried drabbling?
You have my sympathy, anyway, it's no fun having a sick muse...perhaps it's Japan, change of water and all that?

[minorly intimidated by this display] I could send you some if it's not nice sorts over there...

Aldora looks great. I'll have to chime in one day when I get some kind of idea for it. How does Jon keep things like magic and history consistent? Do you all read up regularly on the encyclopaedia? *wonder* It's a really well-done site, and I do like the notion of not jealously hoarding all your ideas ...

Sorry, that was just my taiko chocolate drumming XD;; And oh, that's really sweet of you! (Argh ... no pun intended, I swear) Actually Japanese chocolate's really nice - inferior, but still nice - but my apartment's pretty hot in summer, so it just melts if I buy it and don't immediately eat it. I'll be back to my chocolate-guzzling best in September. But thanks very much for the lovely offer. ^_^

*pokes drabbles and characters with a stick* Do something! Dance! Jump!

You can magpie any idea that looks shiny there, that's the point...there are official descriptions kicking about, but it's all under design...I know the writers look at the encyclopedia a lot - the entry on Latretzers was only up a day and someone wrote a story with one...

okay. 'k. Do they ever do that?

Re: [offers sugar-crystals and tinfoil] ladylight August 29 2007, 05:02:58 UTC

That IS cool. My only fear would be in trying to keep up with that encyclopaedia as it got really large, lest a social faux pas arise between two writers wearing the same mammalian sea-race to dinner ... *goes to snuffle around*

... maybe they will if I scatter some caltrops >:/ ...

I think the general convention is to say "ah, well you may think all Nicenerians carry wooden umbrellas in drop bear territory, but that tribe/village/remant of lost civilisation of pygmies over there wear spiky hats. And thus the world evolves.
The encyclopedia and map are easy to search, anyway.

That's not kind.
