I'm about to go eat lunch...or brunch, whatever you wanna call it...then continue writing the trilogy. I also love how I managed to filter out the random people clicking on Scowl & Sneer on ffnet and not even reading it by making the first chapter so long. 7k words, yes - that's an entire story for some. And that's barely 1/10 of the entire thing, if not just a little more than that. I find it rather funny, really. I remember just browsing the site a few days back, and saw a story named 'When a granger marries a malfoy' or something along those lines, and someone left a review saying something like 'I knew from the title that this story was going to be good!!!' Ugh.

I've ostracised myself from the community. ffnet, LJ, the internet as we know it - in terms of reading and sharing and contributing to other writers, I've isolated myself from it. Why? Because I don't want the community to consume me again. It did for a while, but then I took a step back and gave up with it. Now my only sphere involves my updates and my readers/reviewers. Seems kinda selfish, but it's working quite well for me. I'm writing for myself more than anything. That is what counts.

Ahh...what else. Hmm...oh! So I watched Sense and Sensibility. I have this HUGE thing of ideas swarming my psyche for CL. Hot damn. I'll also be outlining those today and getting to work on that. Hmm. I also have the book now. I'm good on plot - it's just their dialect and diction back then that's a little...obscure. I'm gonna have to start thinking in terms of that, um, jargon to even begin to get a grasp on it. Don't be surprised if I start writing like that once I get into the grit of things lol.

Yeah...not much else to say. Hmm. I'm off to eat now. Later.

Old school Final Fantasy ftw!! A character named Draco is in FFVI lol. He's a knight in the opera, and Maria's lover. That is just so hilarious to me; I'll never see Draco Malfoy the same again. I keep thinking of Malfoy busting out in opera song now lol.

Pandemonium spreads through the very air I breathe whenever I can't breathe you. You make up my aura, you paint my curves, you draw my eyes up and wide and grateful to you as I watch you not be here. Never has there been a time when I sighed and couldn't think about you; sharing the air I breathe and hoping that it rides the winds, to you, to fill you with the want and protection of you I wish I could fulfill.

Pandemonium... hahaha. Castle. Pandemonium. Castle Pandemonium lmao.

So. Friday's the big day. I'm only updating once a week. Gives me plenty of time to edit and then work on the trilogy. The trilogy's all planned...and I'm so fucking happy about it. Mmm...Fleur is very ambitious. Yes. Slytherin ftfw.

I'm feeling pretty good. Not bad, not sad. I'm still contemplating future stories. Yes I have a lot of ideas, but...hmm... They're just not good enough. Crimson Lies after the trilogy will definitely be written and posted to ffnet and here, but... bah. All of my ideas after that are pretty lame. Lame as in they can't compare at all to what I do have posted on ffnet right now. I'll give a small preview for what's to come in CL -

The plan is to have Hermione dressed as a man in the Regency Era in England [1810's]. Harry's the Prince of England, James and Lily are still alive as King and Queen; Harry has Hermione dress as a man for shits and giggles, and their mutual friend Ron is also in on the joke and they're perfectly ok with Hermione's, um, preference for women as they call it. They're magical btw. Harry asks his parents to make Hermione a Marquis, for the status, and James is enthusiastic about it [they don't know Hermione's a woman]... I have Hermione's new guy name in mind too, but you'll have to wait for that! So anyway, the gang goes to a party to mingle, and that's where Fleur is - the Delacours are nobles in France, and Fleur's immediate family is in England just for the scene. Hermione and Fleur meet up and...well...

Let's just say that I'm actually keeping Fleur in character as far as GoF is concerned. She turned into a total floozy with the last three books...blegh. There's courting going on for the spring and summer, and then we move along...but, of course, there has to be political issues, drama, betrayal, passion, and all that good stuff. And of course there's the conflict of Fleur either finding or not finding out that Hermione is really a woman...heh. The latter bit isn't so original, but hey. I can work with it and twist some originality into it~

I'm not sure when I'll actually start writing it, as I could just read Sense and Sensibility on my own, since that's where I got the idea for it. I was watching the movie with some college friends back in January and the whole plot's been in my head since... I fear it'll explode upon me, which is why I'd like to start writing it soon. Hmm. Hmmmmm indeed lol. I'm gonna watch the movie now, then go eat dinner and get homework done. I'm also going to check out the book from the Libe. Won't take me long to read it, I reckon.

But I want to take the Jane Austen class.........but it conflicts with my [tentative] plans to become a Philosophy major. In fall term sophomore year [this fall] I plan on taking Spanish 101 [for an easy A...I've been taking the language since the age of 4 lol], Computer Science for the Math/Science credit and....a Philosophy class. The JA class is only offered in the fall...BAH. Fuck the class, man. I'll learn on my own.

Peace.
