And our lovers will be waiting there 'til spring, it's a ramble and a race to be king.

1) Remy, stop eying those throwing knives.
Jason, if you touch that rope so help me I will end you.
James? Put. The pistol. Down.
Honestly guys, hang on. I will get you all in the same room soon, and you can start killing one another like civilized folk then. YOU were the ones who wanted me to write the story completely sequentially for a change, ( Read more... )

Heh. And I thought my writing process was unhealthy.

lithiumlaughter October 15 2010, 17:58:08 UTC

We all have to get the crazy out somehow. I have written out conversations with fictional characters as I'm writing. Some people juggle geese.

asitiswhenitwas October 15 2010, 18:01:42 UTC

To be fair I think I have it easy as my usual story is
'Character A - Me' talking to 'Character B - Me with a vagina.'

Which actually may be crazier.

Whatever works. For a while, when my friend Amber was available and I was having characterization issues, she would interview me and I'd answer as the character. Lot of breakthroughs there, surprisingly.

Have I mentioned lately that I love you, internet wife?

lithiumlaughter October 15 2010, 18:05:28 UTC

Not lately, but I never tire of hearing it. :)

It also makes me reassured that I'm not the only one who yells at rationally talks to fictional characters when trying to get them to cooperate for fics heh.

lithiumlaughter October 15 2010, 18:39:07 UTC

<3 right back. Heh.

Yeah, it also helps that these three in particular are a rowdy crew. Three muses with no qualms about homicide, being underhanded, or just plain ol' fighting dirty was probably not the best idea I've had, but I'm liking where the actual fic is going.

I am so jealous that you get to play with these guys while I have to sit here and determine the viability of applying criminological theories to atrocities crimes and then be able to write an essay on it. :-/

lithiumlaughter October 15 2010, 18:48:49 UTC

Well, as I said, it's going to be your delayed birthday present...so you have this in actual, coherent story form to look forward to. Minus me as the referee, of course, and with added plot.

Good luck with that paper, m'dear. And godspeed. *salutes*

xenokattz October 15 2010, 22:39:44 UTC

OH THOSE BOYS. So glad it's your plotdaemon. You poor thing!

lithiumlaughter October 16 2010, 06:03:34 UTC

I think I begin to sympathize with you and your relationship with the Summers boys. You get what I seem to recall you referring to as emotionally constipated characters. I get three boys who want to kill eachother, two who are being smartasses about it, and one who I think is just waiting for them to fight to the death, and then take out the last.

Not to say that's where the story's going, but I need to keep scaffolding this sucker quick-like or it's gonna end up three bodies found by a neighbor.

xenokattz October 16 2010, 18:31:11 UTC

By "neighbour" you actually mean Lois Lane who'd been investigating this the whole time, right?

lithiumlaughter October 16 2010, 20:12:20 UTC

NO. NONONONONONONONONONO.

You can't -- it won't...

...oh FUCK.

If this worms its way into the fic, I am blaming you for any and all collateral damage. Just so you know.
