Wow wow wow! I can't believe you guys like this so much!
And Uros, wow, you
are a fast reader!
Glad to have shaken up your opinions of Stivik so much
That part was really hard to get right; I knew where I wanted the argument to lead to, and some of the things that it would involve, but it was really hard to make it work. In the end I wrote a really rubbish, stilted chapter and then worked on it every time I posted a new chapter. I'm glad you guys liked the result.
As for progress on the next part of this story, I haven't summoned the courage to read through W@RF since coming back from my holiday about four hours ago but things are slowly moving towards the stage where I can start writing this again. I've made a few arrangements, and have set events in motion. I want to go forwards a little bit before bringing things into play (I've had this planned for a while, even though it's a really bad idea to plan ahead in an RPG, but now it comes to it, it's really hard to let my RPG characters go!) (Man, 'characters' is a really fun word to type!). Gonna miss them when things move on! But I'm getting there. I'll start summarising the RPG as soon as it seems ideal.
In other news, since a conversation I had with Dryadri a long while ago, I have been thinking about people giving theme tunes for characters. It's not a practice I usually involve myself in, but it's kinda captured my thoughts, and hey, I've got time to burn here now
Theme songs for characters, in my experience, don't often make a perfect fit, but never mind. There's a couple of ideas I've had.
For Dionysia, '
Damaged' by Plumb.
(Who makes these videos?!)
For young'n'happy Anni, '
Wouldn't it be Nice' by the Beach Boys.
And for 'scary Nova' (for lack of a better name -
“But it’s like she wasn’t gone, because since then she’s been in my head. I hear her sometimes. She talks to me, like last night. And… And she made the fire. She said there’s more…”), '
March of the Smallest Feet' by Tin Hat Trio.
If you have any ideas for tunes for these or other characters, feel free to share! I might post a compilation of 'Scary Nova' moments for your enjoyment at a later date.
