You are pretty awesome. Can't wait to read flirts

[cmorgan]

I love your speed and your focus. I hate your speed and your focus. OK, well I don't hate it, I just massively envy it. Just poking in to say I am specifically not reading any of this because I would absorb ideas and use them; I will gladly provide feedback if you want to poke me and direct me to something specific any time you want. I looked at one, and realized your voice for him was too interesting - I'd start doing riffs on your ideas!

But I thought I would just say it is very cool that with two of the toughest to write for NPCs, Sarevok and Haer'Dalis, at last they have found a writer that works on them with care and a sympathetic eye. The last person to do that with the "toughies" was Dorotea handling Irenicus' redemption in Longer Road.

[Aeryn]

Thank you! Heh, and here I was chiding myself for working so slowly. Sarevok was much easier for me, honestly. He's less shifty, his personality more unyielding. I could write something and clearly say, "No, Sarevok would never do that." Haer'Dalis is practically the opposite. He's so flexible that I can realistically write him into almost any situation, but the endless possibilities make my poor little head ache sometimes. It's been an interesting challenge so far.

Just dropping a note to say I am still writing away, but Christmas is eating my soul for the next week or so. Between having both my son and my father-in-law's birthdays last week, and a surprise call from my brother informing us that his clan and my sister's clan are invading my house on Christmas eve, and wrapping 40+ presents last night (with different paper for each kid, and separate paper from Santa, and using fancy handwriting on Santa's gifts so my kids won't realize I wrote the tags, then finding somewhere to hide the gifts from Santa that my kids won't discover "accidentally") until I passed out on the floor - not to mention the nonstop rain that I usually love but is making it really hard to be happy about driving all over Southern California every few days because everyone knows Californians can't drive in the rain at all - I'm just about drained dry. Some of it might actually be a wee bit fun, but my inner pessimist won't allow me to admit that.

So, if I don't post anything for a while, never fear - I'll be back! Everyone have a fantastic Christmas/holiday/vacation/etc!

[Kulyok]

Good luck with that! Hey, I just was re-reading Sarevok romance yesterday, can you imagine that? Must've felt something.

Please, please announce this mod as wide as possible when it's done. I'd hate to miss it!

[DeathAngel]

Good to know someone is picking up the Haer'Dalis romance again!
I'll be sure to keep an eye on this one.

p.s. (for encouragement)

Currently taking a break from lovetalks to work on HD/Anomen's romance conflict for SoA. Guy has too many variables. That should be wrapped up by tonight. Also sketching out a few banters that I wasn't planning on, but the more the merrier, eh?

[Choo Choo]

Go Aeryn! Go go!

[Aeryn]

I'm glad people are enthusiastic about the whole idea.

Managed to get 4/6 parts written for the conflict last night, but was distracted by a movie - Temple Grandin, see it, astounding look into Autism, cried like a baby and still has me reeling - so hopefully will wrap that up before this afternoon and move on to some banters. Not many banters in SoA, so that should go quickly, then back to the lovetalk grind.

[DeathAngel]

sweet action! glad to hear of progress.

[Aeryn]

Finished one more lovetalk, wrote out the Underdark flirts, finished banters and a few other minor things. Still working on the last bits of the romance conflict - there's only so much Anomen I can handle in any one sitting, I think - and added to my to-do list with a few new ideas that wouldn't go away. I'm back into the lovetalk groove, so hopefully I can crank those out before I get distracted by something shiny.

[Aeryn]

Two more lovetalks and an interjection done, list updated.

We're deal with an outbreak of chickenpox in my house, so writing might be sporadic for a bit, though honestly with the kids passed out on medication all day, I might actually find myself with extra time on my hands.

[Aeryn]

No progress to report, but I just wanted to let everyone know that while my kids have all recovered - turned out not to be chickenpox, but strep throat and scarlet fever (which I had heard of but had no clue what it really was) - I, unfortunately, have not. You know you're in bad shape when a doctor takes one glance at your throat, cringes, then tosses the most potent antibiotic available at you. I'm finally able to eat and sleep again, so I'm feeling much better than I have been and hope to have some progress to report within the next few days.

Yes, still being worked on. Just moderately sidetracked by DA2 anticipation. I'm chipping away at the last few lovetalks currently.
