Let's Try Something New ?

pop the sparkling wine !

Find the prince and make him smile

He we bleed for a while

Pack it with ash and make him laugh

The king is dead the king is dead

the prince’s grin brings joy unsaid.

How I felt after the interview in my last post

Only being able to write the first and last chapters of   Nightmare : (An) American Fairytale.

Thinking Lux would be a one chapter shortie

Cause it turned into a multi-chapter story

How I hope you feel as we dive into this

Just so no one is disappointed this is NOT a part of LL or SA. I know I did a bait and switch with HOF, but I'm not doing it here.

 I've hinted about Lux a bit, but there is also some Speculative Fiction-ish Feminism going on in here as well.  I didn't really write this to music but I stole found some great songs to help set the mood. Here we go.

Explanation Under Cut

awkward.

Today I'm doing an interview post. Now I know what you are thinking. How can I do an interview when no one has asked any questions ? Especially when I've been super MIA. Well today I'll be interviewing my Muse who showed up T-DOLL

LiLe : Hey, Muse. So I had a great time working with you on T-DOLL.

Muse : Yeah . . . Hey so since we did the rest of  LL T-DOLL  are we ever going to post it. I've got some prime material in there.

LiLe : Um, we'll get to that later. So let's talk Nightmare : An American Fairytale.

Muse : Okay

LiLe : So this is a bit of a different look for us. It's like a mix of S&A and LL with a much younger male main character.

Muse : Yep.

LiLe : So how is it looking ? Cause I know I've hit kind of a wall and  . . .  hey what are you doing ?

Muse : Oh, just working on this thing

LiLe : Thing ? What thing ?

Muse : Well you remember that Halloween novella we were supposed to do for Tomfia ?

LiLe : Yeah

Muse : Well I had this idea  what if---

LiLe : NO.  We are here to talk about N:AF. CONCENTRATE. We are in the home stretch.

Muse : Just imagine this--

LiLe : No,

Muse : Come on, just give it a try. For fun . . .

LiLe : Fine. I'll try it for fun. Then we get back to N:AF Cause my playlist for it is amazing.

Muse : Deal

*tries*

LiLe : Um, Muse what the F is this New Thing ?

Muse : Right ? Right ? Good stuff !

LiLe : Are you crazy?! you plagiarized half of this from Shawna.

Muse : I did not

LiLe : Um, The Transgress---

Muse : That's diffrent

LiLe : The names---

Muse : Well, she doesn't own names

LiLe : THE CONCEPT

Muse : Well. . .

LiLe : NO !  Now how are we going to climb the wall for N:AF cause we've teased so much about it.

Muse : *sigh* fine, but can you look over this one character idea I had.

*Looks*

LiLe : Okay. You win. Let's talk about plotting this sonuvabitch.

Muse : *throws confetti*

Explanation

So, this non-productive interview was my way of introducing you to my new serial that is for some reason not American Fairytale.

The idea just came to me and I guess you could say this is LiLe's verison of a NaNo project cause I wrote basically the entire thing (2-4 chapters left to go)  in one month *WHAT*. I swear my kids haven't seen me in days.

So, since we are switching gears and posting this new thing I thought I'd give you all some time to theorize.

The project is called

Lux Aeternahttp://lindaleighlostangels.yolasite.com/lux-aeterna.php

Don't read to much into the name. I actual couldn't think of a name so I just looked around in songs till I found one.

The story deals with older characters (well not that much older than in JNRR). None of my usual shiftiness is going (very few Chekov's or foreshadowing) so I'm curious to see how this experiment goes.

I will be posting it very very very soon, like maybe the next post.  There is so much cleaning up to do which shouldn't take to long.

 Remember this LiLe cheat sheet ?

- Disabled (and how)
- Dead Parent
- Singer/Songwriter parent
- Drunk Parent
- Be really academically successful
- Have weird friends
- Be a doctor/nurse
- Be related to a doctor/nurse

- Takes place in NYC

Nightmare is still happening but for whatever reason I just needed to step away and figure things out. After pounding out Aeterna, Nightmare will be fun to jump back into.

Also, Shawna please don't sue me.



T-DOLL

I did finish T-DOLL and just so you don't leave empty handed I have posted a few chapter of T DOLL : HOF. The chapters in HOF were really short. Around JNRR I ran out of things to say so I'm not sure I will post that. Although I do sum things up pretty well.

I should have been posting TDOLL but I didn't want to get caught up in that "world", cause I usually re-read t just before posting and LL and Aternea have similar voices.

*Hops Back In The Trenches*

August Extras ?

I'm just going to keep using pretty flower pictures

A Note On August

So I'm not T-DOLLing August. I really wrote August ( blog post ) becuase I had so many thoughts about the characters but didn't think it was enough for a sequel.  For me it was like knowing how the entire series would be and the trying to condense that into the short stories.

P.S SH asks if Tumblr helps with music ! They used to have music

A part of me wishes I had kept to the short story route with this.

A Note On Scraps
 I deleted my alternate ending to LL off the website, so I went in search for it. Instead I found  two short stories that were supposed to be in August but got abandoned in turn for a sequel. As I looked over them I realized how they later become HOF and DSI, maybe even JNRR. These aren't edited for content, so let's just see what could have been

Lilac  
Was supposed to be the last short story in August and end with an engagement. when I looked over it I realized that there is a line in it that made it's way to HOF. I have no memory of originally putting it there but I'm sure it's obvious what it is.

Roses
This one didn't have a title, I think after I wrote this  I was like "Sequel is totally happening".


A Note On Wall Hitting
So I have hit a wall with American Fairytale. It's just missing some plot points but I am leaning more towards posting the first chapter and taking it there for there. I'll keep in the trenches and we will see what happens.
