dun dun dun dun... more on "Dragon Dreams"

[lilian_cho]

Dear Body,

I know you're overdue for a sick leave since June, but must you invite multiple sicknesses at the same time?
First there was the cracked molar, then there's the sore throat and persistent cold. Must you add nosebleed to the mix?
And while I'm at it, please to be losing those four kilos of extra baggage.
That is all.

Brain

You all

Loved the crack, especially the crossed out bits. And I definitely think they're funny.
And my vote goes to...'Dream Rose'. I think it would be the most appropriate what with Draco having woken up and what ruien said about a perfect rose. If you really wanted 'Dragon' in the title I think 'Dragon Rose' would sound just as well.
I so looking forward to the sequel...

[lilian_cho]

Hee :-D

Thanks for voting, and your reasoning is great too :-3

I have a few opening paragraphs written already.

Have you read the interlude and the two cookies?

[fatomelette]

Yea...multiple times...I liked the direction the 'Interlude' was going

[lilian_cho]

Eeee~ ♥

*feels gleeful*

I'm glad you like 'em that much :-D

That gives me more motivation to write the thing X-D

[spiderstars]

I love that crack. Everytime. And that's all that matters. Hm. I like 2 or 5 on the poll thingy.

[lilian_cho]

Just noticed that I misspelled "thorn" on #3. *thud*

Do you prefer "Dreams Cave" or "Dream Caves"?
So maybe Morpheus has multiple caves or something...

*is torn*

Yay for crack-loving! <3

How's school treating you?
(This is a transparent ploy to ask if you'd be available on MSN *cough*)
But seriously, how are classes?

[spiderstars]

I rather like "Dreams Cave" but I always just flat-out liked the plural of "dream"

Crack is awesome.

School is, honestly, kicking my butt. I'm busy pretty much all Monday, every Wednesday I'm gone. Other than that I usually just crash on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday but I can get on if there's a reason for me to.

[lilian_cho]

Noted.

Ah okay. No worries--just wondering if you'd be available to beta for the sequel :-) Fastest I'll get the first chapter done is December neways, so no rush.

I've written the first opening paragraphs, woo-hoo! :-D

...shouldn't you be asleep now? I forgot what time zone you're in...
(am turning in myself)

As I`m not sure where you want to go with the story, I can only suggest probably completely inappropriate titles like "But A Dream Within A Dream" or "Dreams Are My Reality" ;-) . Perhaps "Captivating A Dream" or "A Living Dream" or "There Is No Such Thing As A Happily Ever After, Prince Charming".

I`m completely uncreative, but well, so was everyone else ;-)

[lilian_cho]

Thank you! :-D

What about "Dreams Captive" or "Dream Lives"?

Now you'll regret commenting, because I friended you back and now demand more input :-P

I'm going to assume that you've read "Dragon Dreams"--yes?
If not, it's here.

If you've read it and don't mind reading spoilers, here's a v. v. spoilery sequel plan I wrote.

[aldebaran1977]

Yes, I read (most of) it. Just skipped a few parts *ducks* And read your expose for the sequel, too.

I don`t like two nouns in a title all that much usually. I`d rather choose something like "Captivated While Dreaming" or "Captivated In Dreams".

For something completely different I just thought about "(Bound To or Visiting or Hiding With) Death`s Little Brother" or just something like "Getting Real".

Now that you asked for my input, you have to live with it ;-)

But I`m still happy to be your friend. Really. ;-)

sequel's title

[lilian_cho]

lol it's okay. I skip parts when reading fanfics too :-P (Even books, most of the time) The only time I don't skip parts is for my Literature classes and other textbooks.

I know the beginning of "Dragon Dreams" is slow, but I really don't know how to fix it >_> *was too tired after the major rehaul from the original 2000-word version*

I don`t like two nouns in a title all that much usually.

Ah, any particular reason why? The reason I prefer two words in the title is to parallel "Dragon Dreams."
Plus I love double meaning--> "Dragon Dreams" can mean either dreams about dragons or a dragon that dreams.
"Dreams Captive" can mean:
1. Dream (Morpheus)'s captive (i.e., Draco)
2. ...Hmmm, actually that should be "Dreams Captivate" or "Dreams Capture," huh. *ponders*

For something completely different I just thought about "(Bound To or Visiting or Hiding With) Death`s Little Brother"

X-D

Parentheses might work. I'd have to think on this some more...

Now that you asked for my input, you have to live with it ;-)*g* Noted. It amuses

[ajat]

Nosebleeds SUX ! I hated it when me icon-orig got a nosebleed onna field. Poor chap.

Suggested title - 'Fire Flies.'

How did I miss DragonDreams ? *Ponders*

[lilian_cho]

Well I don't have nosebleed today, thank God.

Vote noted :-D Any particular reason for "Fire Flies"?

And thanks for reading.

You haven't read "Dragon Dreams"? :-O
It's here. I guess you friended me a few months after I wrote "Dragon Dreams" then?

[ajat]

Great crak ! Loved it.
