I have to tell you though I am itching to write a Love Story. It's been so long. Any ideas ?
A Few Post Later . . .
I'm In Love
So this came out of nowhere but it seems that I have fallen in love with a new story idea. I have no idea where it came from, but I think it will be a fun mix of Litany Lane and Lost Angels andI'll get to incorporate a part of myself into it.I don't have all the details but it will be a slight take on a fairytale, so it is tenivaly called An American Fairytale.
It will have a male protagonist and I already have his picspiration, feel free to speculate.
*Wrote/Outline First Four Chapters*
Muse = Dead
1 1/2 years later
So I think this could happen. I learned alot in the T-DOLL process about how to not *headdeask* , hit walls , create useless characters and cling on to Idiot Balls. American Fairytale is no where near the place it needs to be but give me 2-3 months. I wasn't going to post about this but it's in decent condition, better than I thought it was. It just needs more DEPTH
It will be a short (2-3K word chapters) maybe 8 chapters. It is about a 19 year old boy named Cillian O'Connerwho has just gotten out of a year in Juvie and a year in Jail. Stop me if you've heard this. Also it takes place in modern day California.
It's had a website for about 2 years, but nothing is on it. The title has been tweaked to Nightmare : An American Fairytale. This story is so insular that I can't imagine expanding it.
Cause LiLe Keeps Tabs
Hi, Illia
More so, Hi to Princss A ! You are barley on to something.
- Disabled
- Dead Parent
- Singer/Songwriter parent (eh eh ?)
- Drunk Parent (averted)
- Be really academically successful (averted)
- Have weird friends (kind of )- Be a doctor/nurse- Be related to a doctor/nurse
I will have two updates about American Fairytale in the next few post. I have a few twist but I'll be less secretive but don't ask to much from me ! *is plotting* Hold on !
Other Details
Cillian O'Conner is a mix of my favorite Irish names. I know Cillian Murphy is well known but I like how unique it is.
You : I don't kow LiLe, I mean if Alex Meraz is your picspiration he doesn't look very Irish . . .
LiLe : I know . . .
*hides*
Later, In Comments
July
*cautiously brings up AF* You know, I was going to comment on the whole not looking Irish thing I thought...mmm, better not. I’m sure you have your reasons.
LindaLeigh
Yeah, I don't know what came first, Cillian didn't have a look but then I had this idea for how he sounded. And Alex looks how I imagine he sounds and he's very good looking, but I didn't want to change the name so Cillian O'Conner is half Native American.
Commenter
So, I realize we may have to wait for the new thing, but I do have one question about it. Is the Nightmare part now back in
LindaLeigh
Yes. It's called Nightmare : An American Fairytale BECAUSE I couldn't decide between Nightmare or American Fairytale. Not because they are in a series or anything. I suppose it could be Nightmare, An American Fairytale.
Commenter
I am addicted to these new thing bits ! What if we had some mini Q&A of Cillian. Like; Is he vegetarian ?, is he in college ?, does he have a girlfriend ? , does he read books ?, does he have a girlfriend
LindaLeigh
Vegetarian - No
College - No
Does he have a girlfriend - an ex-girlfriend
Does he read - um, hmmm I don't know.
CommenterOkay, so one more comment on the new thing...is is Kill-e-in or Seal-e-in or Kill-an or Seal-an?
Linda Leigh
Okay so the proper pronunciation is Chill-lian but I'm americanizing it to be Seal-E-IN
Picspirations
This was everything I wanted and more ! I feel like I’ve been to this small town and Cillian’s voice is just a perfect mix of humor and angst in just these two chapters. Also, the SH-LiLe line is seriously in full effect. I mean this thing is getting out of hand.
ReplyDeleteAlso my last name is in this...is that intentional.
DeleteAnd I’m totally stealing a song from you !
Hmm, I didn't catch that name thing. Let me guess . . . the song is Lordy May Y/y ?
DeleteLile, how have you been sitting on this for so long ! Cillian is still a mystery, but I can't wait to learn more about him. Why did you cross out the part about it being a little bit about yourself ?
ReplyDeleteWell orginally I was going to put alot more injokes to my life in but I took them out.
Deleteie One of the cabins is called Oakdale and Coleman is the street I lived on in Philly.
Ahhhhhh! Yayyyyy!
ReplyDelete*reads intently*
Wow, those chapters were too short. I wonder what’s with the insects ? I can’t even place what paranormal thing likes bugs. I mean I want to say he’s a werewolf, but it’s just the Twilight connection.
*lips sealed* although I will note that he is afraid of insects.
Deletedon’t know what I love more; the mystery or all the flirting between Cililian and the blondie
ReplyDeleteCan we get a letter for Blondie's name and see if we can guess her name? I'm feeling lucky...
DeleteOkay, her name starts with a "T"
DeleteSo many awesome characters.....so....I’m asumming Ty’s daughters are stepsisters ? Is that why one has darker skin ?
ReplyDeleteAnd I mean, no judgement, but what kind of Mom let’s her daughters work in a place like that
DeleteWell, Logan called them her “girls” not that they were her daughters.
DeleteLove the Juliet Barnes song (yes, I said it) ! I was thinking this was going to be more of a southern/country setting like Tennessee or Alabama. I would have never thought California
ReplyDeleteI liked the idea of mountains and woods. I instantly went to California Redwoods and then somehow did a bunch of research on the Sierra Nevada region.
DeleteI feel like there is about to be a zombie attack....or everyone is fairytale creatures.
ReplyDeleteWait. What if this is a Cinderella Thing ? I mean you have two sisters who work at a bar...maybe there is third one and they all want the "prince" who is Cillian because his dad was King of the town.
DeleteThis has made my day ! I got so excited I literally x-ed out of this three times. It took me some time to get into the story with chapter one, but by the time chapter two ended I wanted more.
ReplyDeleteWOW, I AM SO EXCITED I’M TO FINALLY SEE THIS IM NOT EVEN TAKING MY CAPS OFF ! ! ! ! ! IM CURIOUS WHAT CILLIAN DID, HE SEEMS LIKE A COMPLEX CHARACTER AND HE'S HOT !
ReplyDeleteLol at the "AND HE'S HOT"
DeleteI'll admit I don't want to make Cillian into "fresh meat" but he is one of the only males who I'm going to come out and say in actually very attractive.
Wait, when did Cillian's grandfather (Big John) die ? Maybe it had something to do with his jailtime ?
ReplyDeleteBig John just before Cillian did time.
Delete“Yeah, the fuck was that?”, I say looking for more spiders.
ReplyDelete“Nature my friend”, Logan walks over to the bed, “The spiders I mean, not the women. . . obviously.”
I loled
Wait, I wonder if there is something more in this line ? Maybe there is something wrong with the women in Cascades Fall ?
DeleteThe calendar is a Playboy Bunny Calendar.. . . so yeah. This was the one joke (For some reason) that made me want to trudge on with NAF. I have no idea why. I just really liked the humor.
Delete
ReplyDeleteThis was my lol
“Smartness ?”
“Nope”, I said although I was pretty sure ‘smartness’ wasn’t a word.
The worse part is I forgot smartness wasn’t a word.
Yes, also another joke that made me think "Okay, this deserves some time in the spotlight."
DeleteOh and I so called honkytonkbadonkadonk being used ! I mean kind of...the song wasn't actually played, but still.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I hear that song a little piece of me dies...but then I start dancing and its okay.
Delete
ReplyDeleteSeriously, Lile how do you come up with these things ? Also, I’m getting Dirty Dancing Vibes
So did I . . . when I first wrote it.
DeleteI love the West coast, small town vibe. I'm guessing Florida Georgia Line are going to make an appearance ? It's night and day from the city in all your other stories.
ReplyDeleteMaybe ? Do they have any new songs ?
DeleteLove your use of Jerry’s dialect...I can literally hear him. Can't wait for the picspirations !
ReplyDeleteAlso another thing I liked so much I didn't want to give up on NAF
DeleteWooo, f*ck yeah the cursing is back.
ReplyDeleteThere was cursing in Lux. . . just not alot.
DeleteDid you ever think of calling the serial just Cascade Falls ? See this kind makes me think we leave Cascade Falls.
ReplyDeleteWell . . .
