One more day until American Thanksgiving

Why is it that, every time I comment on something in one of my LJ entries, I want to do the exact opposite? Like, as soon as I mentioned how weird it would be for me to consider writing an original novel right now, I get ideas. What the heck, self. Do I just want to prove myself wrong or something?

And whaaaaaaat. Why do I have an article on this wiki? Did they just pick everything and everyone out of FF.net and slap it up there? 8| Man, it's not even my good fanfiction anymore. 2007 was forever ago. Maybe I should be going "fuck yeah!" that I got the name "Athena" in that wiki.

...With that detour over, the original story idea involves combining two or three past Epic Novels I had used and not been able to flesh out. One story's magic system, another's plot and characters, another's ... land. Maybe. Probably take one story's characters and make them the gods of that universe. One of the lovely things about writing fantasy is that you don't need to dig too deeply into the sciences behind cloning -- magic is just awesome that way.

It'd probably loosely follow what little I'd mapped out in RPGMaker a few years ago. Man, I need to get another copy of it so I can work it again. ...Just another distraction I'd be adding to my pile of stuff.

I also want a place I can RP Albert. Luceti's great and everything, but sometimes I feel so out of sorts with what's going on flist/plot-wise that I want to find something else to do. Kinda the reason I joined Damned. But Albert's my favorite character to play, and I ... don't really want to throw him into another game because that'd require canon review to get his "original voice" back. dear_mun is too much about the mun for me to put Albert out there, too. I wish Caesar was still around, but life's such a kick in the pants sometimes. Why so selfish, self.

Someone wanna help me revive gensodressing and make it inhabitable? :|

I have trouble with collaborative because writing styles kinda need to jive for things to work out. I've only really collaborated with one or two people though, so my experiences are probably not that much to shape a real opinion off of.

tl;dr -- We'll see how things roll out once a starting point is decided on. :| And let's not talk about theory. God, in retrospect, that was awful. /soooob

This is true. But sometimes it's just the fun of pooling ideas together and seeing what comes of it. I'm just a little sad that more never really came out of it past the idea-pooling process beyond a chapter or two. Not even, in some attempts.

N-no worries. :(

Okay, now that I've gotten over the whole embarrassment of the badly-timed theory session, I guess it's ... fine. Good. It's been awhile since we've actually RPed out Albert and Raine theorizing stuff. "Our theory?" So quick to claim credit, Professor.

D-don't worry about it. It was fun at the time, before all of that ... ... other stuff happened. And since their threads run long lately, it's not as if any of this current stuff can't be addressed in it anyway. Whups. I'm not sure how that ended up happening. It can be fixed? ._.
