Major Fic Announcement

Aug 09, 2007 23:08

My muses and I finally finished the fifth book of the Realizations Arc this evening!

{throws fistfuls of confetti into the air, thrilled beyond words to have gotten to this point, then collapses and explains a few things}

But this should never be interpreted to mean that everything is ready to publish. Far from it.

( More fic babbling is here. )

SWEET!!!!!

Now, that's some awesome news for a Thursday night. (^__^)

Thanks E-sama!

Thanks, Dee! A vote of confidence from one of my favorite ladies is always a welcome gift when in the throes of creating a new world.

Boring??? You think that hearing about your muses and the stories you are working on would bore us? Drive us insane with anticipation maybe, but never boring. It's like those little 30 second Harry Potter teaser previews that make you want to grab the tv and shake it screaming "WHEN DAMN IT! WHEN!". LOL

I cannot wait to read that scene between Schu and Brad. I think Schu is in for a long night. LOLOL

On the AC note, you probably thought of these already, but just in case. When was the filter changed last? You might want to have someone come in and check to make sure the fan is working okay and that it didn't freeze up on itself. Or like here at our place it could be an insulation situation. I hope it cools off for you soon, I hate extreme heat so I can sympathize. Seems Farmers says we are going to have an unsettled fall colder than normal starting in September. But that is here.

Um, well yeah... e_sama August 10 2007, 17:03:52 UTC

I guess the reason I used the word "boring" is because I think some of the folks reading this only want Saiyuki fanfiction or maybe some other fandom. So to them, WK oriented stuff might indeed become tedious. {shrugs, then smiles}

But if it's driving you "insane with anticipation", then I am a very happy llama! Words like that are also the ambrosia that my muses feed greedily upon, hence, I can guarantee they are listening closely to feedback like this.

As for Schu's long night, {dark laugh} you should've seen the other line I considered for a teaser. Oh, hell, why not show you.... no one else will read this, so here goes:

Brad to Schu: Because you are supposed to be doing what you're told without question. Wasn't that what you offered? That I could take you any way I wanted?This after Schuldig innocently wondered why Brad wasn't being more specific about... um, "things". {evil grin ( ... )

Re: Um, well yeah... skippyscatt August 10 2007, 17:28:42 UTC

Okay I can see that. I just love listening to you talk about your Muses good and bad. LOL And yes the waiting is making me crazy with anticipation as each little tidbit you offer sets my brain in motion trying to imagine more.

Seee! Like that! I mean okay my brain is in overdrive with ideas of what prompted Schu's question. LOL

We have the same problem. You'd think living in a place where the temperatures can have such extremes they'd at least make sure there was adequate insulation in the roof. But it's always coldest upstairs in the winter and hottest up there in the summer and don't even get me started on the walls. -_-

Excellent news!!!!! ^_^ I forgot to mention the teasers you posted the first time around were so...juicy (?) for lack of a better word. i could feel the angst...so good! *hehe!* and from just a teaser! :D and the teaser you posted here too! a promising and very hot lemon!
Yucky!!! I hate summer! I'm sorry your house is so hot. I can't wait for fall. :(

Teasers are fun! e_sama August 10 2007, 17:08:26 UTC

Thanks for the input on the teasers! Knowing you can feel at least a little of what I was going for in just a line or two makes things even more enjoyable.

BTW: I just added another one in the comments section of this post for skippyscatt feel free to check it out if you like.

As for summer, ugh. It sucks. Can't wait for autumn!

Since you didn't "delight" in my first suggestion for Afternoon, I submit anything "______ Afternoon" found on Itunes. Lazy, Sunny etc.

For the second, I'll name it "Late in the Evening" and the finale is "Living after Midnight" or "Midnight Maniac". (cues Judas Priest for the soundtrack)

Ah, 70's Music e_sama August 10 2007, 18:27:27 UTC

Bro, you crack me up! Always coming up with these oldies and your unfathomable knowledge of trivia which has saved my hide more often than not. It's a miracle, I tell ya.

As for the new titles which are coming closer and closer to being final, well.....

{winks broadly and then whispers}

They're seventies music-based. That ought to make you happy, no?

Hey, everybody, it' weisshund August 10 2007, 18:44:37 UTC

Frankly, I prefer the '80s tunes

Dang, I hit reply before finishing weisshund August 10 2007, 18:47:04 UTC

Oops...^_^;;; My memories of college and beyond are clearer than those of being educated in the Livonia schools.

::toasts the completion of the new arc with virtual champagne::

Why yes, I am a busy commenter tonight. ::huge ebil grin:: I could never get bored by talk of either Saiyuki or Weiss, and especially not the beloved muses!

^__^

cindyg August 11 2007, 15:59:42 UTC

meh. should have been toasting the completion of the new *book*. ::stares at virtual champagne:: Uh-oh. I think I may have drunk more than I was supposed to...

There's no problem here with excessive virtual champagne, dearest friend! It's a safe, fun way to play online, IMHO.

Re: ~Tiny Bubbles~ cindyg August 13 2007, 06:01:51 UTC

Psst...wanna know a secret? When I was of a proper chibi age, I took Hawaiian/Tahitian dancing lessons over the summer.

"Tiny Bubbles" was the song chosen for the graduation of the chibi class. Even now, when I hear the Bing Crosby version on the radio, my hands start to move to the music.

::grin::

Then I graduated to The Ventures' "Hawaii Five-O" when I got a little taller, but before I morphed into my teen curves.

::thinks::

Hm. Maybe I should try to find a dance class...::chuckle::
