I do have some inspirations for Litany Lane
Clara
Clara is based loosely on Eva Green and Leighton Meester. For some reason she is one of the few characters who has a first and last name.
Mr. Fierro
I don't know if it's implied and I don't plan on mentioning it, but since so many of you thought of Edward Cullen. Mr. Fierro's character is an Albino (like in Cold Mountain or Da Vinci Code), but I imagine him as a young Orlando Bloom.
Emile
I was tempted to name him Emmet but I liked his name becase it looks like smile. I also have a habit of giving characters french names and irish names (i e : Fierro). His look is based on Rick Fox or Shemar Moore
Ms. Ginger
I felt like a cop-out giving a redhead the last name Ginger but it stuck.
All of this inspirations can be seen Here
As for the houses and other inspirations I have a nice slide show here (passwords is books1)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Also the reason the URL's are labeled BH is because the title was originally Beneath Heaven.

Chapter 2
Here is the playlist (Thanks Shawna for the Jimmy Eat World Song)
What a quick update ! I love it
ReplyDeleteI love your use of images, will this be continuous ? Having lots of pics ?
ReplyDeleteHaving an inspirations page what a great idea ! You know that Jimmy Eat World Song is about suicide thats why I picked it so, I see this story taking a melancholy. However the song is kind of nice to just sway too. It's actually growing on me a lot.
ReplyDeleteI would have never guessed albino ! It seems like vamps are the only albinos these days.
ReplyDeleteI never noticed that about Emile, that it looks like smile, that is an interesting way of looking at it. It taps into the self-consoius. I am honestly wondering what is going on in Nightfall.
ReplyDeleteI think the fact that she keeps getting hurt must mean something.
ReplyDeleteI am in love with the pictures and classical music, it is really a nice touch. I feel like this is much more mature than S&A
ReplyDeleteI am kind of loling at the fact that they don't have cable or satelite in the afterlife. What does Quires mean ?
ReplyDeleteHmm . . . Mr.Fierro is defiantly a mystery. It is intersting how he is a patron of the arts and politics but we have not seen much of the politics part.
ReplyDeleteI think the way he is treating Clara is pretty demeaning, I feel bad for her.
“You are young, probably unaware of so much. I doubt you’ll understand but I do believe in discretion.”
ReplyDelete“I understand”
He was right, I didn’t understand. Then.
What does it mean ! ! ! !
There is a wardrobe I am calling Narnia.
ReplyDeleteClara's family seems really lovely it makes me sad that she can't be with them.
ReplyDeleteHmmm . . . I wonder what Emile is typing . . . is it important ?
ReplyDeleteOr is what he is typing on important
I'm a little bit confused . . .did he slam the top of the piano on her fingers ? People have broken fingers that way
ReplyDeleteNow,
ReplyDeleteI think Mr.Fierro is being selfish not letting her have the piano. I think he likes her.
Awww, you named Mrs.Ginger,Mollie.
ReplyDeleteYou know,Linda you actually are a really talented writer, I have to say I really respect this work and what you. Something about this I really, really, really like. I don't know. I feel like we should be thanking you.
ReplyDeleteI also feel like buying some roses
<3 (yes, I was to lazy to find the other heart)
I think Mr.F has Claras grandmother's watch because it has an L on it
ReplyDeleteWay to go for repp'n the baristas
Hey, being 22 forever seems like a great idea ! I love the rose references they really are pretty flowers aren't they ?
ReplyDeleteI am absolutely loving the playlists, all the classical music is perfect.
ReplyDeleteI like the name Beneath Heaven. Were there any other name possibilities ?
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful ending for this chapter, in a sad kind of way. Grief is hard
ReplyDeleteI will not say I am addicted just yet but, this has peaked my interest. When does it get scary ? or does it get more macabre, I love that kind of stuff too.
ReplyDeleteWho is that as Ms. Ginger, she looks like a stunner !

@ Ariel - we'll see
@ Hedi - Yes and No
@ Violeta - Yeah, I see that.
@ S_lodger - I think it's explained in the first chapter that people bring parts of themselves to nightfall and Quires is just a word. . . honestly I googled "unusal scrabble words."

@ Ms. Jen - let's just say it gets Macbre-esque ( I know I spelled that wrong)
@ Paget - Annete O'toole. It is so hard to find a non-shopped picture of her.
It's great getting feedback because it's easier for me to edit the other chapters for clarification.
ReplyDelete@ S_lodger - I miss read your comment. I thought you were telling me that Quires meant wires. Because I have no idea what Quires means.
