All That Glitters

Nov 30, 2009 19:57

No, not the conclusion to the whole book by any means. However, these are the last two segments written yesterday, and you will find out how Francis gets out of the apparent scrape he was in, as well as a couple of fun twists (well, at least I think they're fun) in the story.

FurAffinity is still dead, so I am posting to FurRag only for now.

Part ( Read more... )

writing, nanowrimo

*hug* Anguish? I dont think you understand... your name isnt loriana.
:P :P

altivo December 1 2009, 02:54:23 UTC

Um, no. I've been called a lot of things, but never that.

loriana December 1 2009, 03:01:42 UTC

Consider yourself lucky ;)

But... on the plus side there is no Urban Dictionary entry for it! :P

altivo December 1 2009, 03:45:08 UTC

Yeah, that's true I guess. But there's none for Altivo either I think.

hmmm... i thought I would note that I'm kinda in a state of story writing with this comic that I am making... I actually started off by making pictures to an outline of how it went in my head... Now I am trying to make a plausible motive and background to my implausible world.. And this is where I bow to you humbly since I've never found it easy to do this kind of thing.

My own work always seems chuck full of corn... :P

altivo December 1 2009, 02:53:42 UTC

Maybe you should write about raccoons, as I've been doing this time. Full of corn = happy raccoons. XD

*hugs and tickles*

Well, now see, that's touching on just a sliver of the problem. My interests are very self-serving and thus limited to foxes and wolves, mostly.

And worse... its mostly about transformation.... uhh... even much MUCH worse... transformation of myself into a fox :P

So now you know my dirty little secret (shhhhhhh!!! dont tell anyone!) *looks around wildly to make sure noone is listening*

Tsk. Listen to me, pretty vixen. You sometimes have to get outside yourself in order to be yourself. Otherwise you get all inbred and tangled up. :D

So you made up Alpha Eta Rho just as a complicated come on?

That rascal! (um, no reference to North intended...)
I would have thought it would have been his roomie. This is nicer.

altivo December 1 2009, 03:41:34 UTC

Whee! Gotcha didn't I?

Actually I had no idea this was going to happen until I got here. Sometimes the characters sort of get in your face and say "No, I won't do that. This is what really happened." I did have an inkling that in the end Jay would be a much more sympathetic character than he first seemed...

"Lead on, McWuff"????

BAD HORSIE I LOVE YOU

Once the idea occurred to me, there was no way I was going to resist a chance to incorporate that play on "Shakesbear."

(For those less familiar with The Bard, the reference is to Macbeth, in act 5, scene 8 I think, leading up to the fatal swordfight between Macbeth and Macduff. Macbeth says "Lay on, Macduff, And damn'd be him that first cries, 'Hold, enough!'")

And after the groans I got for the "Shakesbear" reference in Argosiad, how could I leave it out here, in a college setting, in the same world? *grin*

cabcat December 21 2009, 08:45:16 UTC

Oh no you didn'ht XD

altivo December 21 2009, 12:21:01 UTC

Oh yes I did. In fact, sometime I plan to work an actual performance of a Shakesbear play into one of the stories. Probably not Macbeth, though. More likely it will be some of Midsummer Night's Dream, suitably adapted.
