50,000 and beyond!

Sorry but I'm overjoyed. I just wrote 50k words in less than a month and I didn't even have to take a day off work or duct tape any of my kids to a wall.

The 2nd to the 15th. Wow, sorry but that impresses the hell out of myself but that's not really that hard to do.

 

Anyway I'm going to go bask in the wonder that is me. I do need a new keyboard now. I think I killed this one.

Oh in real news that actually matters.

The Sidhe and RLobinske both just posted stories to PPMB.

Go check out Daylight: Recruitment Day and The Other Side of Time: Unfinished Business.

Unless you're so full of good writing that more great writing just doesn't matter to you anymore.

It's Saturday!

Ok I couldn't come up with anything snappy for a title.

I posted up new parts to Bet and Order and Chaos last night.

Bet actually surprised me, it's the first story where I've made a major plot change to the background on purpose. But I did it and I'm keeping it. Maybe I'll kill someone extra off in another story.

Lots of good stuff being tossed up on PPMB lately. Go read some of it.

Brother Grimace is proving how cruel a person can be by posting tidbits of his not yet posted stories on the Dariawiki. There's something wrong with that.

 

I'm trying to hit the 50k mark on my namowrimo story and it's been fun. I think I might hit 55 to 60k total before I start going back and trying to add something that resembles descriptive text. It's actually sort of fun. After it's done I might post it somewhere for people to shred into tiny little pieces. But that's the best part.

More later in the weekend. Have fun.

Once again it's Sunday.

Another weekend goes by and I think I'm only two or three days further behind that I was when it started.

I did manage to get a couple of posts up and I'm up to 25000+ on my NaNoWriMo story New Moon.

Couple of stories active over on PPMB and I have to recommend going over there and reading them. Of course no surprise Doggieboy has a heavy hitter running the bases already. The newest Apocalyptic Daria: Scarlett's Tale is killer.

Remember to check out Order and Chaos and Bet after you're done reading his stuff.

Just for fun I'm going to show off some of my sketches. I've been trying to capture a few scenes and I just can't seem to get them right.

 

I'm not saying what characters they were supposed to be because then my shame becomes even greater but they aren't bad enough to blind anyone.

Hope everyone had a good weekend.

 

Update.

I tossed up more posts on Order and Chaos 8 and Bet 3.

 

Still working on my NaNoWriMo story. It's going pretty well, you can check the meter to the right and hopefully it's working now.

 

More tomorrow. I'm going to bed.

Ok so I changed my mind.

It's like this. I went over and read some of the stuff about National Novel Writing Month. It didn't say anything about the stuff being good. So I'm doing it. I signed up and everything. New Moon is at 12,326 words even if the gadget says different. It worked before damn it.

 

I'm about to post a new part to Chaos and Order and Bet is at part two now.

TAG started a brainstorming thread. Some very useful ideas in there but I would never snatch any of these great ideas that have been so innocently put out there ... mine, get your own.

 

Doggieboy is melting my brain again with Apocalyptic Daria: Scarlett's tale. Someone go pitchfork him to speed things up a bit.

Well time to write a bit, hope everyone is looking forward to the weekend.

 

The end is nigh.

I managed to get a couple of posts up for Order and Chaos and I wrapped up Babysitting.

I have to admit I like the concept of Quinn and Daria having to deal with a child. I might try a story like it with a more canon take on the characters having to deal with the same, Wham, you have a baby. Can't you just see Sandi complaining that Quinn's baby didn't go with her outfit or Jane offering to paint the baby or complaining that Daria never cared about paint fumes before.

 

Got another story in the works called Bet. It's still at the outline stage but it's going to get at least a three parter.

I started the novel for National Novel Writing Month. At this rate I should be able to get it done in time, of course now that I dared to say that something is going to happen to prevent me from finishing in time. I did through some ... lets just say friends of mine  in it. And it's not fanfiction, this might be a very bad sign.

If you haven't been by PPMB lately then you really need to. Kristen Bealer just wrapped up Blood, sweat  and Cheers and RLobinske is working on John Lane 35. Also Roentgen and Brother Grimace are doing Erebus and some new guys, SoCalledGoodGuy and Disco316 are adding to the pile of good stuff to read.

 

I tried to do some artwork for TAG of Halloween but I stink way to much so it ended up really bad. I'll try again another time.

 

Hope everyone had a good weekend. If not don't worry, there's another one coming in just a few days.

I'm doing it dammit.

That's right, I'm hitting the biggest crossover (somewhat) in fanfiction. Order and Chaos is started.

I'm hoping to write a few parts for it tomorrow and maybe a part for Babysitting.

 

I'm feeling a little restless and I might try my hand at the National Novel Writing Month. Realistically I'm not going to enter the contest but I am going to try to write a 50 thousand word novel in a month. Once I figure out a concept I'll post info about it here.

Hope everyone had a good time this Halloween.

Trick or Treat II

Has begun.

 

Now a few words from our sponsor and national icon.

"Great, why is it anybody who throws a vampire or whatever in a story thinks it scary. Let me tell you want I think of that .. ."

 

Well seeing as she looks really busy at the moment, I think we'll skip that part.

Couple of things going on over at PPMB and TAG is covering all the angles this Halloween.

I wrapped up Ashes and Kisses and posted another part to Babysitting. (And of course the first of my Halloween tales.)

 

"Not one of them takes place on Halloween yet, you poser."

 

Don't mind her, she's just a little grumpy at the moment. Something about a shortage of eggs.

 

"Bite me."

 

Anyway ... hope everyone has a great Halloween.

 

"Jerk and it's Happy Halloween!"'

I feel lazy

I updated Babysitting and Ashes and Kisses and that's it. All weekend and only two posts. I might as well have slept the whole weekend. Ashes and Kisses is going to wrap up in one more part and babysitting has maybe two more to go. Depends on Helen now, I think she's about ready for a change in her life.

 

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't it seem like a big step with the Ringbearer and DAYLIGHT events occurring. I still think someone (with more skill than me) needs to do a more 'canon' approach to the shared event idea.

Still working on ideas for Trick or Treat II, all I'll say is I'm a bad person.

I think I've hit the bulk of the stories I wanted to do this year with just a few left behind. So here's something for everyone.

 

How did your writing goals go this year?

 

 

Took a while to post this as Blogger was misbehaving. I was starting to worry.

Just bored a little bit.

Ok the UK is charging someone for writing Internet porn fanfiction. Ok that's not a problem. Everyone remember I'm a 4'4 600 pound Asian man with really great teeth who lives in France.

Just finished up But Why?  It was a short one.

That leaves Ashes and Kisses and Babysitting as my only active stories at the moment.

Ashes and Kisses has a couple of little events to happen and one big one coming up shortly. Two parts to go.

Babysitting has maybe three parts left. Not sure it really depends on a choice Daria has to make.

Then I have Trick or Treat II. I'm not so sure this one is only going to be three tales this year. It might have one or two more than that.

 

Oh look, TAG also found a case of a woman being arrested for deleting an online character. I think the defense needs to argue it was  a mercy killing because the guy was such a noob that he took this whole marriage thing in some games, way to serious and hooked up with a nut job but I'll give credit where credit is do, at least it was actually a woman and not a fifty year old guy.

It can't be Sunday already.

I'll be updating all three of my current stories later tonight and the other updates have continued over on PPMB. Though looking at the updates it appears to be Origins of the Ringbearers and DAYLIGHT stories as the bulk. Kristen Bealer running Blood, Sweat, and Cheers seems to be the only canonical style story running. I'm not sure what to comment about Farmyard Funnies except it's funny.

I think I have a Zero Hour concept for DAYLIGHT that I'm going to try as well as a The Sea Comes In story.

 

Added Wyatt from End of the Line to the known Ringbearers list on the Dariawiki. He has a serious contribution to the Ringbearer stories I did earlier but that won't be released until part 10.

Stories, updates oh my.

I've updated Babysitter, Ashes and Kisses, and End of the Line recently.

In much bigger news there has been a flurry of posts and updates over at PPMB. I suggest you quit reading this and go there.

 

Why are you still reading this?

 

 

Started looking at ideas for Trick or Treat II. So that's actually going to come along nicely, I think or hope.

I have to say the Fanfiction has changed a lot since I joined the PPMB. With the Tales of the Ringbearers and DAYLIGHT shared universes plus some regular stories, it's interesting.

I wonder if we could do the same kind of thing staying close to canon as well.  Has that been done before? I don't mean a round robin like Evil Daria but a shared story line with different people writing different days or from different character's perspective.

I haven't seen anything like that but I don't see a reason it wouldn't work.

Just a quick update or not. Whatever.

I'm about to sit down and go through a few things so I decided to say hi or something.

HI!

 

Anyway. I'm having a bit of trouble find DAYLIGHT so I'm going to quit beating my head against it for a while. It's a great concept and hopefully some more people will write a few stories so I can rip them off. ... I mean become inspired by them.

 

Started a bit of a goofy story called babysitting. Quinn's got a baby for ten days. Cute little fellow called Xavier.

 

I'm thinking I might suggest that we need to list the clusters of multiverses. Currently running we have the DAYLIGHT cluster, the Tales of the Ringbearers cluster, the Corps of the Ringbearers cluster and the cluster of normal stories. Might be a good idea to keep them slightly separated. I think some of the DAYLIGHT guys are eyeballing the Corps of the Ringbearers girlfriend and you know it's about to be a fight.

 

Night all.

Seeking Protective Custody.

Well I just posted a mess of stories on PPMB.

 

Ashes and Kisses - A DAYLIGHT story.

I knew it! pt 2

End of the Line Part 5

Mobius Strip Part 7

 

I'm pretty sure the hitman are coming after this batch. I think I've managed to offend every target demographic known to mankind with at least one of these stories. It's ok though, I have a kevlar vest and the dogs will be outside for a few days. Remember I'm from the South so even though I currently don't own any guns I'm sure the rednecks down the road do and are looking for any dark clothed weapon welding assassins  to practice shooting on.

This DAYLIGHT concept is a good one but I can't see Day One yet. Maybe during the week it'll occur to me. Bother Grimace and Roentgen have both posted Day One stories and they look way cooler than aftermath stories like mine. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact they are way better writers, nah couldn't be.

 

Still would like to see some more people do Tales of the Ringbearers stories. I like the concept RLobinske is writing about, cluster multiverses. In this cluster and it's thousands, millions of universes A happened. In this cluster B happened. Think about that for a minute. Not only is reality duplicated into infinity but the multiverses as entities themselves are duplicated into infinity. It's mind boggling.

 

Oh wait I need to pack for my trip into hiding. See you when the crust starts to cool.

To kill or not kill.

Sorry personal question I guess. Don't panic, I don't know where any of you live. Just a decision I have to make in a story.  About to start another story as soon as I finish this post. It's going to be one of the ones that has been on the burner for awhile. It's going to be one of these three stories. I'm not sure which yet.

1. Daria Arrives.
Daria shows up in Lawndale a year after her family moves there.

2. But Why?
Quinn wants to know why Daria put away her camera.

3. I knew it!
Daria finds out Helen was married briefly to another man and becomes convinced he is her real father.

 

Kristen Bealer just started a new story and if you haven't read it yet then you're a goof.

 

Ok I wasn't going to do this but I've been fooling around with Paintshop so here goes yet another of my really bad drawings. Since Brother Grimace is going to skin me for this one, direct all complaints to the nearest hospital. It's bad, so sue me.

Fiddle broke ....

With respects to Dean Koontz.

That's pretty much how I fell this weekend. Managed to get an update to Mobius done but if it's a little wonky or anything I can blame it on the fever.

Nothing serious mind you but still feeling utterly miserable. Ah well maybe I'll feel better in the morning.

Here's a little something I did on my PC to pass the time while I can't get out of bed. The jacket looks about four sizes to big and there's something terribly wrong with her neck. And I'm pretty sure her glasses are about thirty percent bigger on her left side. Maybe that's why she's so grumpy.

Maybe more to mention tomorrow. Take it easy.

Sunday boring Sunday

With respects and apologies to Mr. Bono

 

Another weekend brings forth a wave of updates.

Mobius Strip is on Part 4

Sometimes it Rains is wrapped up at Part 12

One more try, was something I had to inflect on everyone.

Tales of the Ringbearers Journey's Debt is going to wrap up today as well.

 

We are currently at 24 Tales of the Ringbearers and 2 Origins of the Ringbearers by eight separate writers.

 

Lots of fresh writers over at PPMB these days. So go give them some love.

 

TAG is wanting to know what the Ringbearers look like. We need artists.

SQL ERROR [mysql4 ]

This is not a drill, repeat, this is not  a drill.

Paperpusher's is down, somebody get a medic.

 

Seems like they're having some server issues over at PPMB but I'm sure they'll have it back on soon.

 

Tossed up a couple of updates and I got one more Tales of the Ringbearers short ready to post.

 

I'll just sit here and hit refresh every twenty seconds until the server comes back up.

The weekend is here again.

I managed to start Mobius Strip and post another part to Journey's Debt now at part 4 and a new Tales of the Ringbearers short (Rules of Engagement). Sometimes it Rains is up to part 11.

 

Mobius Strip is only going to be a handful of parts but I'm going to have some fun with it.

After that I'm going to go back to some nice and quiet angst or drama.

 

Maybe more to say tomorrow.

So other weekend ends.

I managed to get a few posts done.

 

Sometimes it Rains is at Part 10. The next few parts are going to be a little more action filled.

Two Aunts is all wrapped up. I have no idea where the last bit at the end came from. Must of been the toads.

Tales of the Ringbearers Journey's Debt is on Pt 2. 

 

I'm already thinking up another short in the Tales of Ringbearers universe. A disgraced former Ringbearer has to find a path to redemption without a Ring. I'll do that one during the week.

 

My next story is going to be Mobius Strip.  Followed swiftly by either But Why? or Daria Arrives.

 

I'm really enjoying this picture I did for Journey's Debt so here it is again.
