Talk to me!

AS OF THIS MOMENT, I AM SORT OF ALMOST COMPLETELY CAUGHT UP ON TAGS. :O

I KNOW RIGHT.

Alas, it will not last. XD But I'm proud of myself for hitting everybody tonight.

So, guys. I've decided I want to have more in-depth discussions with people about character things. So, tell me:

What's been eating your brain lately? Which characters have taken over, what ideas are swirling around up there, what are you thinking about when class/work/life is boring?

And:

Ask me anything! About me, about my characters... as you all know, I love to babble about things! What do you want to know?

I'm in the mood for talking! It gets my brain going. :3

I need to get my Ult. Ben Grimm moving through canon.

Jenks is currently in a little plot idea I had and I'm curious as to where this is going to take him.

I need to get Jessica Drew back on track to her canon. She hasn't been seen since the IMDB Flu.

And finally I need to finish Val's OOM and get her back to Milliways. I've decided to keep her after all. I might have need of Data actually if you are interested. She'll need someone with technical knowledge of physics and space to figure out a problem in the reality she's been in. Also, I could use someone who knows the jargon (which you seem to). ; p

I would totally be interested! I will do my best to fake the jargon like I always do, haha. XD

Meanwhile, I love that plot idea with Jenks! So interesting. o.o Keep me updated on where it goes!

WIll do. = ]

The basics of the Val idea I have is that I need something like a black hole that isn't detectable by normal means. I'd be fine with making something up, like a dimensional black hole or something. Val will feel it due to her mutant power but won't be believed.

Then she'll make it back to Milliways and use it's time dilation effects to devise a means of detecting the singularity and go back and save the day, i.e. "No look see I wasn't stupid or insane!"

Oh gosh, I feel like there's gotta be something like that that's already happened in the ST-verse. XD *tries to think of some way to look that up*

I'm guessing they probably handwaved it with some sort of dimensional thing. Hee, I remember a particularly fun little phenomenon in TNG where they were stuck in something that worked on a two-dimensional plane... it wasn't quite a black hole, though. And I am digressing majorly. XD

I will try to think if there's any way I can look that up... But off the top of my head, a dimensional thing might be the most plausible.

The Fool is eating my brain. His story that I'm writing has hit, I think, about 11k and it's STILL GOING. How the Hell has that happened, I have no idea.

It has hit 11k, as I just checked the google doc which is missing a section and the google doc holds at just over 11k. WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME STORY!? YOU'RE TEARING ME APART!!

You were supposed to be SHORT.

Haha, don't you love stuff like that? My short story ideas hardly ever turn out to be short stories. The best I can do is "drabbles," and sometimes those hit 10-30 pages. XD

I was trying to get a handle on how long 11k was, and I just discovered that the longest story I ever wrote (by myself) was 59,025 words. O_o That's a lotta words.

Just hit 12k. About 44 pages double spaced.

And drabbles don't count as drabbles when they're that long. XD

Aww, they don't? XD But what if they have hardly anything in the way of plot? Haha.
