In Which I'm Like Jonah's Car

This is kind of how I pictured the Angel village in chapter 8. Except much higher up.


If I Did It

I think if I were (although I am not doing anything new as of late) to go back into reality-based serials I would probably pull a HMLIS. I would do sort of an AU of Nightmare and have it be about a young couple (stop me if you've heard this) who move to Las Vegas (no really stop me.) while broke and trying to make it in popular Vegas entertainment

I honeslty can't see me doing this because I can't "make story" nor do I want to mess with Nightmare

Muse : Come on, it could be like Penelope gets a Faerie to further punish April and Cillian by making them forget about that summer and make April forget she's a Fae.

LiLe : Um, you mean AU Fanfiction of  my own work ?

Muse : Look at you using the term work , like it's something serious.

No, this is not happening. Feel free to steal.

Plotter-Pantsing Hybrid.

There are days when I wish I could go into more detail about my writing style. The more I think of it I think I'm a half/plotter half pantser. We are almost catching up to the prologue, which mind you I wrote a year ago having no idea what the background events were. I just knew it was a scene that happened after some other. . . stuff.

 So while I plot out key/things-i-want-to-happen points, I'm still pantsing what happens in between.

Admittedly there are times when this screws me over because I'll have trouble making major plot points flow(for example why it snows in the prologue even though it's September) , but I can't imaging pantsing and entire thing like S&A or outlining an entire thing like HOF or JNRR.

Chapter 10

Hippolyta has been captured and Paris is willing to turn against his Brother to set her free. . .

  2. Wow, I did not get the BH homage I was just so into it !

    Also, I feel you on the half-plot/half-pantser thing. Except I’ve never been quite able to write an entire scene or chapter out of order.

    1. Well. . .kind of. Wasn't the scene with Sara Grace an Luce in the rain written BEFORE the rest of the story y/n

      When I look at it again, I really just stole the one line

      "It will be a bitter day". Originally I had lifted the entire conversation.

  3. This love triangle will be the death of me. I just want Parisobel, but then Parisea feels so right. But I feel like losing Hippolyta will change Sera

  4. Wow, Paris rebounds real fast.

    Your writing insight really surprised me ! I assumed SA was just pansting while JNNR was all plotting since it relied so heavily on a mystery.

    1. Since I have T-Dolled JNRR, if you over think it gets SUPER complicated. Planing was good, but I should have kept it simpler

      Oh, chapter 10 (I think) of S&A was pantsting like there was no tommorow. That 10,000 word chapter ? Pants pants pants !

  5. Oooh, do you know where that place in the picture really is ?

  6. Are we just not going to mention the use of comic sans or...

    1. I wanted to lift the mood with a fun font. From now on I'm using Comic Sans. It's having a come back.

  7. Ugh, Helios and his hitting it and quitting it is just ugh.*gags* Like he doesn’t seem concerned with pleasing her. Why doesn’t he mess with the other girls too

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. He does mess with the other girls (which Sera knows about but doesn't care), but there is a reason he keeps going back to her

      Delete
  8. Oh, Lile How can you give us such a sweet, sweet AU and take it away ? Want/need so hard !

    1. I know I know. Okay and I an totally see a seen where the girl in this story wants to be a burlesque teacher and she goes to her first day of teaching and learns that she they didn't hire her to teach, she's so good they want her to to perform . .. blah blah blah. I'm lost after that. Can't make story

  9. “Just a few minutes, love. I promise.”
    My first thought: Tomas ? Where’d you come from ?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Yes, I know. I know !

      Let's really think about this. . . I really regret using that term of endearment with Tomas. I mean he is a 21 year old lower class drug user. "babe" or "baby" would have fit him more.

      Paris on the other hand is like an old ageless supernatural adult male, and has lived in Europe most of his er--long life. He is waay more likely to use this term of endearment.

      Did I mention Paris has a British accent ? I meant to put this in there . . . somwhere . . ..

  10. I would just like drunk!Paris all day everyday.

    1. I know ! He's like Harry Potter on Felix Felcies

    2. OMG, yes. I think Drunk!Paris will make a small comeback.

  11. You know this Demon/Angel war kind of feels like Hipsters vs. the Jocks...

  12. Wow, Ariel is hard up on Caden...is he going to come back in some way ?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Caden is dead, he won't be coming back. It's not that kind of LILE serial.

  13. We need to make like, SGI clothing and see how long it takes people to ask what SGI is.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. This needs to happen. It could be like a type of workout wear with waterbottles and everything

      Delete
    2. The SGI logo is actually a greek symbol, so it would look like Fraternity wear.

  14. Helios is insane ! I hope his weird logic doesn’t work on Sera. I mean can she actually believe that ?

    ReplyDelete
  15. While Parisobel would be a dumb baby name, they could make it like Parisol or something...

    Replies
    1. You know it really wouldn’t be a Lile serial without bbs

      Delete
    2. Yeah, except they kind of have to do the thing to make the bbs

      Delete
    3. Speaking of babys are we going to hear more about Aria's baby ? I bet Helios is going to take it or something.

      Delete
    4. @Daisy - Aria gets a lot more page-time in Part 2

  16. Wait, that water thing w/ Paris a baptism ? Into what ?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Wait, wait ! The Angel and The Demon fell into water too...is it symbolism ?

      Delete
    2. Oh, no. This is when Seraphina . . . you know. . . tied Paris to a chair and threw him in the pool

      See, I wanted to edit that scene so that Ariel saw her do it, because the only Angel POV we have in this story is Ariel. Since she wasn't there she doesn't explain or revisit the moment.

      . . . I bet you can see one of the challenges/plot devices I've been using. In order to tell Sera/Helios/SGI's side of things I have to do it through Ariel. Which is why she does ALOT of eavesdropping.

      You : Um, Lile why don't you tell it through Sera's POV. That's so much easier

      LiLe : I feel like I've done this before, but writing her in first person would be difficult to capture.

      Delete
  17. IDK why but these chapters made me adore Seraphina. Do you ever think about her POV ?

    1. Me too...but also I just want a Damien novella. He was cracking me up in this chapter

      Delete
    2. @Quinn - see above

      @Princess Ariel - More Damien to come.

      Delete
  18. His novella would just be called Eh: Story of a Demon

  19. Words I never thought Id see in a lile serial: swagger-ish

    1. That word just blurted on to the page. I was like.

      "Can I use that word ?"

      "Can I ?"

      "Should I put 'like a pirate' after it"

      In the end I decided to have fun with it. After all its drunk!paris we are talking about.

      Delete
  20. I never thought I'd like a love triangle until right this moment. I was feeling Paris and Isobel, but in only a matter of words I see the electricity between Paris and Sera. I do think it's unfortunate she's had to be Helios' F-toy though...

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Sera is actually choosing to be with Helios. I think she is very conflicted about the whole thing though

      Delete
  21. I don’t help him, but I’m kind of rooting for him.

    1. Drunk!Paris FTW ! I wanted a line like this to happen and I thought it would be awesome for him to say it to Helio's face.

      Delete
  23. Wait...so Paris seems to be aware of things he wasn’t in the room for. Is this like hinting at something or did you just have to do this for the dramz.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Only Lile could write something where the devil is the main character and we are rooting for him.
