Cut for pic )

And for the Suikoden buffs, a ridiculously detailed idea of how the Scarlet Moon Empire was formed and how Julian Silverberg managed to handle a bloodless coup. It also goes on about Scarlet Moon politics up until IS 299 (Elenor's exile).

Most of this isn't official. It's mostly for reference for my drabbles.

Cut for length. Yeesh. :| )

And more "blah blah blah" Silverberg stuff, this time about the Silverberg estate and the patriarch of the family. There's some references to the Scarlet Moon historical stuff from the above cut, too.

Why do I write all of this again? )

It's not even Christmas yet and I have something to add to my resolutions for 2010:

Revise and finish that Silverberg drabble collection.

It was initially going to be 100 drabbles, but I think things fell through the longer I worked on it and realized I was having trouble fitting in themes with the overall story.

I was looking over the old tags for it last night and I realized it's been over a year since I wrote a new drabble. :( I found things that need to be fixed, like references to Kooluk in the present tense and uses of the Conqueror Rune, as well as ... well, bad grammar on my part.

Some things would need to be rearranged... Others completely removed. I'd also need two lists for it -- one with the preferred reading order, and the other with the chronological order.

I was kinda amused with how coherent the story is when it's read in the preferred order. Things have a very neat impact when a character's death is referenced before you actually read about it happening. (The same goes with reading about those final coherent thoughts, then another drabble where the final damage of Raging Nostrum is shown.)

All the foreshadowing surprised me too, since I really don't remember having planned out the series in the first dozen drabbles or so. Leon showing interest in Albert after the war, the nature of Yuber's interest in Albert... Yeah. Surprising.

I never got into the really weird/damning parts of the series, either. Albert learning about his and Caesar's maternal grandparents. Tir and Gremio interacting with Caesar's kids. Albert and Caesar growing apart as teenagers. The brothers' relationships with their parents. Leon's last encounter with Yuber. Not to mention what happens to Albert and Caesar's kids in the long run.

Blah blah blah blah. This isn't even a fraction of the stuff I've apparently jotted about the drabbles over the years. I need to finish it. I know how it's supposed to end, dang it. Then maybe I can finish those Legendia drabbles, too.

Well, if one thing comes out of new castmates showing up in Luceti, it's theorizing and dealing with more headcanon topics. Things to flesh out in fanfiction, if I can think a little more clearly about some of the characters.

Thought process went something like this:
-- Albert got his notes for summoning Yuber from his grandfather.
-- Leon got these notes from Windy.
-- When?
-- Of course, sometime between the Gate Rune Wars and the Dunan Unification War.
-- How?
-- ...Uh... He stumbled upon them?
-- That doesn't sound right. Windy's a magician. She wouldn't keep those notes in plain sight.
-- So, logically, he would have needed time to find those notes.
-- When would he have time to find those notes? He went back to Kalekka after the war.
-- Well...

Type: Drabble / ficlet (for Silverberg series)
Focus: Leon-centric
Time: After Suikoden I, after the fall of Gregminster
Definite Characters: Leon Silverberg, Tir McDohl, Apple, Liukan
Possible Appearances: Gremio, Pahn, Cleo, Kasim Hazil, Lepant
Idea: How unsurprising. His nephew toiled and planned for the end of the war, but barely lived to see it through fruition. And now he was left to pick up the pieces.

This was the real reason for the letters. His backup plan. In case something went wrong, someone would need to oversee the creation of a new government.

He never knew his nephew could be so devious.

Is it disturbing that Yuber/Leon has invaded and almost taken over my mind?

Someday, I will get around to finishing all of those drabbles. Chronicles, really. Yuber/Leon really makes sense in the context of the chronicles ... because Yuber is utterly infatuated. And Leon never marries. And because I have been inspired by fanart to think that Albert looks a lot like his grandfather.

I really want to just write everything down because I may never write/finish the storyline. I'm sure other writers on my list can relate...

Ugh. Screw this.

Leon stuff )

... And now I'm tired. *goes off to doze*
