Oskar and Conrad!!

You should email me about this fantasy epic one day. If you think that it might help you brainstorm :D Also, I'm curious. Doooo eeeet!

tsuki_no_bara October 28 2014, 17:51:39 UTC

you hush. :p as soon as i typed "what do i do for nano?" i KNEW you were going to suggest them. even tho holy cow, research.

i need a better eyeroll icon.

my seventh-grade half-assed epic involved revolutions and elves and the kind of derivative medieval-british-flavor fantasy that people write when they don't know any better. it followed me through high school and i'm pretty sure to college, altho i no longer remember what i wrote and when, or if i just occasionally turned it over in my head and thought about it.

You know you want to :D

Hehehe! Well, if you ever want to tell me about it, you know where to write. I bet one way or another it will find its way into other things you write. You've been out of high school for how long now and you still think about it. Must be something there!

I love the insanity of Ichy knowing Every Historical Figure Ever. Mostly bc you never know where they're going to go with it. Ben Franklin was a nudist whackadoodle! George Washington was a zombie! At this point it's name checking in jokes and I am all for it. "Can we argue about rodent headwear later, please?"

As for Hawley, I was saying similar to Maze tonight. The love triangle wanna be crap is lazy writing. And stupid, since yeah, Abbie is very much FUCKNOPE about the whole thing. But, I also said I think Hawley is basically there as cannon fodder. Someone has to die, it's the fucking apocalypse. They're not killing off the original regulars. So. Anyway, that's my hope. Cute as he is, he's superfluous.

Irving's soul otoh, makes zero sense. If you can ACCIDENTALLY sign your entire soul away, why doesn't Satan just send out addendums to Apple's Terms and Conditions ever year?

IDK what you should write. Sorry. :/

apparently franklin really was a nudist! which gave me a slight amount of weird respect for the sleepy hollow research team. (which is probably one person looking stuff up in their off hours.) and i do kind of like ichabod's washington fanboying and how vocally irritated he gets when he discovers we're remembering his history wrong. but he knows all about the seminole and the iroquois and crazy chinese mystical shit and yoga traditions and just, dude, STOP. the rodent headwear comment was cute, tho. i need to learn to just shut up and accept it because it's totally name-dropping in jokes and the ptb aren't taking it seriously, so why am i ( ... )

oh hey, btw, I kind of wrote a story for you. It has to do with Bucky wanting to cut his hair. In the story, Bucky doesn't actually succeed in cutting his hair, but he does manage to let Steve know that he would like to. So that's for you. :D

cheers!

!!! i'll have to read it! now i'm picturing bucky sitting in a chair with a towel over his shoulders, while steve prepares to cut his hair for him. barber!steve. :D

Will you be posting NaNo snippets? Your process?

tsuki_no_bara October 28 2014, 17:52:46 UTC

not just snippets - the whole thing. :D smackenzie is my nano lj. it's unflocked so you don't even have to friend it.

hey, so what kinds of locations are you looking for in New York? NYC or upstate? Just because K spent most of his life up there and I'd be happy to relay specifics if it's something you could use ...

tsuki_no_bara October 28 2014, 17:58:40 UTC

nyc. like, places where people might live and work and drink and buy stuff and go for a run and hang out with their friends and what does hipster brooklyn look like, anyway? mostly i need to walk around and take pictures of the place.

is k from the city or upstate? my mom is from gloversville, which as i recall is the ass end of nowhere.

jola October 29 2014, 01:15:31 UTC

upstate, Millerton in Dutchess County so not helpful to you.

fannishliss October 29 2014, 17:46:20 UTC

I walk around in Brooklyn using Google Street view. :)
