Because I need some random inspiration. Or something.

1) Make a list of 15 characters.
2) Assign each character a number.
3) Without telling anyone who's on the list or the character's assigned number, get questions from your flist about what they'd like to know about them. IE: "If 3 and 4 were trapped in a cave together with only a blanket and a toothpick, what would they do?" The more random the better!
4) Post the answers and who was who on the list.

C'mon, people, hit me.

(no subject)

Okay, still short of "End of Part One", but there's a light at the end of the tunnel. My goal: to write the rest tomorrow, and finish Part One plenty short of the end of the month.

The Plan - random thought

Okay, so my major concern with this story is that it's way too schmoopy and sappy, and there's not enough tension in it to keep anyone reading. I'm thinking that it may have to be ruthlessly cut once I'm done, that there are certain things that I haven't really dramatized that should be dramatized, and that it may bear not much resemblence at all to the first draft once I am done writing it.

I'm also worried that I'm simply not going to have time to edit it by the final deadline. Not and get it into the shape that I really want it to be in when I post it. I think that's a consideration, but I don't want to stop writing, and the one thing I can't do (I think?) is dash off 20,000 words of something fun in the last two weeks of November if I don't think this is going to work - because if I'm lucky there's going to be someone preparing fanart for the epic.

....and STILL not the end of part one.

I'm quite close, though. Maybe two or three more scenes.

Edit: Also, I broke Google Docs. There's now officially too much of this story to keep in one document, so I've had to start a new one. Google Docs will take about 65k in one document, apparently!
