waiting
not sure what i am waiting for atm. just kinda am. i wanna go to bed but i feel bad no sealing this pony's eyes before bed. and then i think of all the art on my plate and i wanna do that too, but then... i'm tired. so instead i'm posting on a dead LJ... in fact i'm only here because of the LJ's of ppl who translate Gackt. i'm still struggling to learn Japanese, especially the reading, so i follow ppl who know more than me.
why Gackt? why not Rain, like a friend of mine, or someone American? why Japanese? that's like asking why Ponies. who knows why i'm latched onto these things. i can tell you tho that my art is so happy with ponies. and Gackt really inspires a lot of things for me, like my stories.
i took 2 bleach based characters, a random set of yaoi anthro pony characters and stuffed them into the same world. well minus the bleach stuff, and the boys are human now instead of anthro ponies.
and to top it off they now have nationalities. well, as much as 2 aliens can, cause the girls, they be aliens...
which i guess isn't that odd, if you heard the story you'd know why. i'm gathering my notes now and preparing to write. i want to get the first novel done soon. i would like that to be the whole story tho. i don't want something that goes on and on and on. i want 1 huge novel, or a trilogy at most. but i don't think i have enough story for a trilogy...
the gyst? 3 couples, gay male couple, kinda is the glue, the home base, second couple is the driving drama, third is the fun, quirky couple. but there needs to be more characters... in all i'd say i need 3 or 4 more couples, but secondary of course. heck the gay couple is kinda secondary, they don't really drive the story, but they do give the main characters a center.
so of course they're where i want to start. but is it a mistake to start with someone other than the main characters? i prefer to do the surprises. things that are unexpected. i would be pleased as punch if this got published starting with them, and then in the end the reader realizes they weren't the main characters. i wonder where in the story people would realize that. perhaps when the the main goals are figured out. that these two human men are essentially useless in what's coming up next. doesn't remove them from the story tho.
why the other 2 main couples?
well because the 2 female characters have been in my head for quite some time, kind of being rolled about and kinks worked out. smoothing and refining them. sanding out the rough edges... S didn't even have a great back story til recently. she was just sorta an outcast from her family, but now, she has some depth. and, believe it or not, she's as close to American as most ppl get in this story.
K has actually turned out to be half Japanese. yeh half alien too.... strange right? it works for her.
but making their male counterparts has been really hard. E and R were kinda easy... well to a bit, but Kj and H... Kj has his basis now, but even that flips and flops sometimes, i guess he needs more smoothing. H is kinda easy. he's basic and normal, the most normal anyone is actually in this. at first he was going to be very tough, then timid, but now i think he might be a roll with the punches type of guy. it works cause S is sort of a punchy gal. he won't get far if he's timid with her, or too strict.
i want parts of the story to definitely focus on the romance aspect. each couple has their own story, why they're together, and their own dynamics. R never asks E for more than he's willing to give, but it becomes obvious E is willing to give EVERYTHING TO R, Kj never considers any path but to be with K from the time his eyes met hers, and S refuses to play games with H, he either takes her as is or she moves on. which is sort of not, if you read it you'll understand, but in all honesty if H rejects S she's not going to survive long. poor S, being so tied to one soul, K at least had a choice of sorts. it would have been harder, but Kj wasn't the only compatible choice for her.
and that doesn't even mention the unicorns.
goodnight.
