( Or, How Janetha Rescued Her True Love from the Witch-Queen of the Centaur )

So, I've missed my goal of one post a week, but I figured I'd get the first half up while it's only a day late. I keep underestimating how long it'll take me to write things.

Dear Rozer and Jeremy and Verity and Deadeye and Mimi,

( We found the BEST PLACE EVER!!! )

So, as part of my effort to trick myself into practicing writing, I'll be chronicling our Changeling LARP in character, in the form of letters (or more likely emails, but it's essentially the same thing.)


( Also I made friends with the zamboni! )

My first attempt at writing a journal for Iris fizzled and died after a paragraph and a half- this one turned into a ficlet about her hermit period.  I guess that's progress?

(Some background in case you're interested, bibliothekara :  This is my character from Vampire:  the Masquerade, the painter from 1912, a few months after breaking up with her girlfriend.  She's since moved to a tiny island in Canada to paint and be a hermit.)

( February 1970 )


In random other news, I had a dream about Firefly set in the Star Trek mirror universe.  (There was a different theme song, although I'm not sure if it was a mirror episode like Star Trek's been having or an entire spinoff series.  Regardless, I was aware it was TV.)  Simon was the main character, Inara was a rebel spy, Wash was somehow indentured to the ship and Book was in charge of all the ship's gambling (oh, ha ha, subconscious :/ ).

I don't know her name- she hasn't spoken to me yet.  I'm even just guessing that she's female based on tradition.  But I am certain of one thing:  she is insane.  

I was thinking a few weeks ago about "characters I'd like to see more fic about."  These happened to be Lucy Saxon and Suzie Costello.  This then morphed into Lucy Saxon/Suzie Costello.  And then I started, without consciously intending to, imagining various situations in which that might actually work.  And then the idea wouldn't leave me alone until I wrote one of them.  So, here is the least crazy of the bunch, the "roommates in college" version.  Enjoy.  (And if you meet my Muse anywhere, ask her what she was thinking.)
