G’day eh? Greetings from the Great White North. Yes, I am Canadian. And no, don’t bring your skis here in July. You just look like an idiot.
My lovely word processor is set for American spelling which bugs the hell out of me because I do Canadian/British spelling. Since I decided to go international, I figured I better go with flow. You won’t believe how wrong I find some words. Well you’ve been trudging through my stories, you know I’ve got grammar, spelling and context mistakes all over the map. Eh. I could slow down, take my time, edit and re-edit and edit again before posting, but hey, I got to be me. Take it warts and all. Maybe I should get a fish.
So Armour is correct in my neck of the woods, but I get the lovely little red underline slashy thing so I just let the computer correct it to Armor. Which looks funny. But I don’t’ get the red underline thingy so I run with it. Soon to remain consistent, I’ll be reverse engineering “Armor” back to the beginning.
Q: WHERE’S THE SETTING OF CAKE, CINNAMON AND CARAMEL?
Gotham.
j/k. I don’t have a city picked because I live in a cornfield. Cities are far away and beyond an hour’s driving in any direction. [whispers in the wind – if you write it, they will come] hahahah must be the meds. Any hoo….I didn’t pick a specific city because I would end up in the same mess I did with Tokyo.
I just wanted a general metropolis I could control. I can add in elements that I need. So now I have a financial district that caters to the giant Shadoe Inc. I will need a park – something like Central Park. I need an international airport. It’s just SimCity. Add as I go.
In real life, I have been lost in the back alleys of Chicago at midnight. I have been in Toronto in a black out. I’ve been in a blizzard in Vail. I’ve driven into Las Vegas at 3 am. I’ve driven across North America to Vancouver in 43 hours. I’ve eaten hot wings in the Anchor bar – birthplace of buffalo wings in Buffalo. Drove through a tornado in Kansas City. Almost get squished in Minneapolis/St. Paul every time when driving that way.
I think I like my cornfield.
Q: HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING ON THE LORD EMPEROR VAMPIRE SERIES?
I started the beginning of August 2006. I didn’t start looking to post this anywhere until the end of the August, by that time I have fourteen chapters done. Honestly, it took me since May how to figure out how to post a story on AFF. I can be like a bulldog in some respects. I was going to figure this come hell or high water. Glad I did.
Cake took roughly three months to write (with the last 2 months online). Cinnamon took roughly three months to write. Caramel right now is just a little over a month with 19 chapters done.
As you noticed, I have just continued on with the chapters. I am up to 109 right now with 1180 pages (single spaced separated by a single line) which works out to, remember I failed math 3 times, to 2,104,480 words. Holy Toledo.
OBSERVATION: YOU ARE SOMEHOW ABLE TO TWIST EVERY CHARACTER AND MAKE THEM LOVABLE…IT’S WEIRD, BECAUSE THE MOST EVIL, OR THE MOST INSIGNIFICANT OF CHARACTERS SUDDENLY GET THEIR OWN FAN CLUBS.
I was going to mention that. I mean, Hades was such a total prick, dink, ass (insert your own descriptive here) and in Cinnamon people wanted him to die. Then I showed he had a personality and that he was really hung up on Claudius and people started say, nooo just mangle him – don’t kill him. I was like – WTF, make up your minds. So, now I get the punt then little angst SOB around a bit. He’s got 400 years of grabbiness to make up for. I mean Claudius and Sex can’t be the only victims here.
Liam – bad ass motherf**ker, king of the beach – now wears sheep ears and plays second banana to Hades. Didn’t see that one coming either. Well maybe I did, his whole existence since we met him has been his little honeybee, Hades. So him becoming a sex fiend, or more of one is expected. I wonder if I could get Hades into that bee-girl outfit. (teehee.)
Marcus -- Marcus, Marcus Marcus. He turned into such as ass and I can’t make him better. Well I try and then he resists my happily ever after for him and he goes and rips out Az’s heart. He is the one character that is seriously kicking my ass. I honestly don’t know what Lanseng has planned for our brown haired unstable menace of a violin virtuoso. I’m going to have to let it bubble in my cauldron for a while.
While Hades and Liam have turned into comic relief, don’t forget they are the Ancients. Hades taught Claudius blades. Liam has knowledge for the Emperor. While they might act like clowns, it would be a mistake to dismiss them entirely as background characters. They are just begging to be used to create mayhem – once they start thinking with their big heads that is.
Okay….that’s it for now.
CYA
