Once Upon A Time.. .

 

I"M ALIVE ?

First a prelude . . .

 As you all know Cobalt disintegrated a few months ago.  I always saw myself as separate from Cobalt for a long time but without it's been strange how untethered I feel in doing this. I found so much inspration and support from fellow Cobaltians.

I'm glad we are in a position where my family is taken care of but I'm happiest when my loved ones are happy. I have hope for the future and Cobalt will rise again.

I like endings. . . I really do.  I don't always believe in happy endings (just ask the characters) but I believe everyone get the ending they deserve.

Words to the wise, LiLe always gets what she wants. Always.

“ The Evil Queen . . . you are going to help me stop her.”

Once Upon A Time.. .

So, SH got to this before me and I tried to make my comment misleading.

I've been holding on and retooling this chapter for a long time and then it all sort of cinched up together.

I"m still working. . . very very slowly. I've had this post for so long I'm glad I already wrote the recap because I couldn't do it from this point.


APRIL'S STORY

Hmm, so I'm not sure if this was made apparent but Chapter 6 was for a long time entitled April's Story. Because, it is essentially April's back story. In the story April is the Princess and Peneople (whose name is actually in the story) is the changeling. The Light Fae in the story is Ty.

I sort of orbited around this story for a long time and the one thing I kept in the back of my mind was the orgin of the evil queen which is very similar to things like Maleficent and Frozen (Which I've seen 500 times !!) Hmmmm. . . I guess I'm ahead of the curve.

RECAP
Cillian O'Conner steps out of prison and in to the mountains of the Sierra Nevada He is all set to spend the summer wiorking for his estranged grandfather while trying to avoid the end of summer  in the sleepy town of Casade Falls.

The more time Cillian spends at Casca Falls the more nightmares he begins to have. H soon finds the culprit in all of this is a little Dark Fae named April, a Nigtmare Faeire.

This summer is a turning point for both of them but, April is planning something dark and Cillian is enlisted to find out the most powerful thing you can use against a Fae, her real name.

As time slowly winds down a newcomer to town reveals the one thing Cillian new all along. April doesn't need saving, they need saving from her.

At first working on the gap was like

So this means no new NAF update ):

 

Um, so Bellum update ?

 

 I do have a little JNRR (unless you want the crackfic from my Vault) because

T-DOLL : JNRR, Abridged
So, this is a thing I did. I don't have as much to say ) however I would like to share the methods to my madness when it comes to writing a mystery.JNRR is the longest of the LL's spin-offs, even though it felt like one of the shortest. Lol, nope.


JNRR, Abridged

Prologue/1/2 AKA "formerly murdered people don’t like it whenyou murder other people."

The One With All The Lost Angels ! Roller Coaster of Angst.

So I am going to post the first and only chapters of ABWG. I posted chapter one in March 2011, but it never got off the ground.  We are going to go back forth between each chapter and this blog post.

• Chapter 1 (Read an Comeback)  or check out the original blogpost or the trailers

.

• Chapter 2 (Read and comeback for a summary of the gap.)

The rest of chapter 2 was supposed to be

Mrs. Fenton takes Sofia to her trailer where she lives with her  kids. She  tries to convince Sofia that her husband didn't know what he was doing and that he was fine a few years ago but has become mentally ill and how losing him and going to court could leave them in poverty.

• Chapter 3 (read and comeback)

The rest plays out like this 

Sofia struggles with her feeling for Mrs. Fenton's situation  all while preparing for court. When the court day finally comes it is revealed that the other women testifying too do not exsisit. The paralegal made them up so Sofia would feel more confident.

Sofia freezes on the stand  and the judge lets her come back the next day. Feeling bad Severine takes her out. Tomas gets ill over the weekend and Sofia has to go to court on Monday. When she goes she is able to testify and Severine Fores Tomas out the hospital and brings him to the courthouse so he can support her.

Mini NAF Update
. I have been making so much progess with NAF. I can see where it is going and I will post the next chapter as soon as I'm done.  It's been so different than other serials in which it feels so solitary. I can only ever see these characters following this plotline.

Mini Bellum Update
So, SV is going to get co-cred on this because I literally take a lot inspy from United Light, Blessed Hearts and Veritas . Obviously this was very inspired by BH so much so that there is a (obvious)  homage scene.

Next Up : Maybe I'll do a gif post or TDOLL. Or find something to blog about.

Wrap Up DSI T-DOLL

VICE
So once again we say farewell (for now) to the enigma who is Alan Gray and the group of misfits he finds himself thrown together with. I swear I could read this same set up over and over again and love it each time. Vice has such a way with world-building that I will never posses and why most of my stories take place in the same state. Okay. . . where is HMLIS ?  Oh, HMLIS I'm glad you are finally here. Can't wait to see what kind of tale you weave.

OHG ?

So SH has been stirring things up about OHG and I saw this that totally reminded me of On Higher Ground 
http://militarysoconfessions.tumblr.com/post/79511851095/confession-929-i-hate-the-fact-that-i-have 

and this one
http://militarysoconfessions.tumblr.com/post/79503857509/confession-925-it-sounds-bad-but-i-hate-when 

I feel like these sentiments would be so different if we were at peace. 

SO, HOW IS NAF GOING ?

You do not want to know. End of story.

FLASH FICTION : NAMELESS
So once you finish T-DOLL, I invite you to read this little flash fiction that is not from the vault but from my secret headspace where I keep things.
Nameless

BECAUSE OF ANGST

from my super secret LL inspiration Tumblr

What's in a name

So I realize  I ddin't speak much after the revealtions of chapter 9 of NAF. Somwhere along the way NAF became a kins o d origin story. I had this great idea for rhw characters and how they would be, but I needed there to big a pay-off. When dabling in things like fairytales it's easy to look for other sides of the same story. In this story April is the start of  "Evil Queen" caricature and Cillian is the normal guy who gets caught up in it.

Speaking of which did anyone else find the connection between the Cottingley women's last name ?


Believe

So while Shawna wishes she was Her. I saw the trailer for Believe an thought this little girl's creep-factor was exaclty what I was going for with Rose.  I wish I could have made her older to explore some of this.




TDOLL DSI 

Okay, everyone grab your idiot ball.

Chapter 10/11 aka DAT ASS (I may have gone to far here)
Chapter 12 aka Reappearance of Ms. 3rd Wave Feminism

TDOLL DSI Seven, Eight, Nine give me some wine !

Chapter 9 NAF
I don't have much to say on that chapter. It was one of my favorites from early on. I did imagine some of the events happening in a different order. For me "Go" by Delilah wrote most of that chapter. For you SYTYCD fans it's a song the animators used alot !


New Site
LindaLeigh.Yolasite.com

So I've posted up a lot of TDOLL  DSI and JNRR on my main site and realized it was getting to crowded. With Bellum in the pipeline I decided to branch out.

As you may have noticed I changed the image for Lux Aeterna. I don't think that model looks anything like I picture Paris and it was bothering me.


DSI catch up
 
Okay, so I'll make this quick
Pink = Recent comment
Fierro=Not deadsies
Clara=preggos.
Rose=creepy child Victor wants to kill. For reason we don't know
Clara + Rose = Go to hiding on the run in Europe
Fierro + Lucie following him around killing people = Fierro goes in search to find someone to rid him of Lucie (Robert Essex)

LiLe + Needing characters to do things = Chapter 6

Chapter 6 - Bulk + Funny annotations = T-DOLL

Chapter 7 + Wine + Italian Sausage = hashtag jokes

Chapter 8/9 = Irish Countryside

Nightmare Chapter 9 AKA The One With All The Music

So, yes I was able to clean up another chapter of NAF. I really want to post this one because it ties together the events of the last chapter and leave us off on a good note.

Unrealted

I came across these pictures of Bethany Joy (Galeotti) Lenz and I instantly thought she looked what I imagine a 30 year old version of Sofia would look like. This was just a random thought. There is obviously nothing in the works. Though if something popped out The Vault about S&A I don't think it be very happy.

Yes I have a super secret Dropbox type thing labeled The Vault.





AAF GAP

So this is going so much better than I thought. I actually have all the remaining  chapters numbered and outlined. The music is working pretty well but I have so many. . . leftover songs. I have no idea how I did SA 1-2 chapters at a time

Bellum 
I have no idea how a marginalized random idea like Lux Aeterna became the giant THING that is Bellum. Bellum right now is set up with 3 parts (parts one and two will be done-ish when I start posting). It also features three different storylines. They are all told in order and occur at the same time. . . or do they ? There are also so many characters now I have no idea what I'm doing.
