Crack'd Queries

[amari_z]

I feel a little silly doing this, but what the hell. With the next installment of Resurrection, I think we’re going to be hitting a total 100 pages of teh crack [!!] and since the latest chapter is giving me fits and I’m kind of stuck figuring out a scene, I need some stimulation.

So, I was wondering what you guys who have been following this crazy stuff are thinking—what do you want to see more or less of? Don’t panic—I do have the broad strokes of the plot in mind (umm, yeah)—but some of the details are more flexible and open to messing around with.

So, while no promises that I can do any of it, anyone have anything they want to see? There seem to be an infinite number of possibilities for mischief and it sometimes surprises me what you guys pick out to comment on—so let me know if there’s stuff you’d like to see more (or less) of or scenarios you’re waiting to see. (More political stuff, less political stuff, when is Dagonet gong to get some actual dialogue, I want the knights to go grocery shopping, stop making Galahad the butt of every joke, more magic, the knights need an outing to a waterslide park—whatever.)

If you’ve no comment, that’s cool too. I’m just wondering and in need of some prodding. : )

Found another cafe, BTW. How could I forget 71 Irving Place (it used to be at 52 Iriving when I worked at a West Village bakery about eight years ago; we supplied their baked goods then)? God, there are so few coffeehouses that I almost feel that I should be writing blog reviews of them before they all go.

Thanks dear. I’m glad you’re enjoying the insanity. : ) Sometimes my mind just boggles with the possibilities and so it decides to run off and play solitaire or something. Right now I’m struggling in figuring out how to deal with a kind of serious scene (and I laugh at myself as I use “serious” in context of the teh crack) that I really want to get right, and so it’s much more fun to distract myself giggling over knights arguing over how to tell if a cantaloupe is ripe—or other such inanities. I actually started Deportment when I was fighting with Myths, as a break from the parts that were driving me nuts (that was when I thought Deportment would just be fun and games :p).

I’ve never been to 71 Irving Place, so thanks for the tip—I’ll have to get myself there sometime. These days, given my general laziness and limited lesiure, I’m afraid that weekend mornings when I’m in the mood to write too often find me at the local Starbucks. The amazing thing, given that there are two within two blocks of my apartment, is that I can’t always get a seat even there. We definitely need more cafes in NYC. Vienna was absolutely wonderful in that—so many little coffee houses in which you could sit and read or talk or whatever.

Yes, I’ve started listening to the new Morrissey (although I’ve only gotten the EP not the whole album so far) and I’m enjoying it a lot more than his last efforts (although I do chortle when I hear the lyrics for How Could Anybody Possibly Know How I Feel?). : ) I was getting a bit worried about him, but I feel reassured now.

Oh, and speaking of lazy and packages, I do have something long overdue to send you. If I get my act together (a big if), hopefully I’ll mail it this week.

Oh, and I forgot to say, I'm not wedded to the knight's POV. We'll be seeing more of Merlin, and we got a scene from his POV in Weapons, so it's a distinct possibility we'll get it again (though he's a twisty bastard). And I'm sure he is plotting something. Maybe even several somethings. :p
