I can't believe I managed to get through all that and not post about the flags. About time I remedied that. Cos I had that spiffy banner everywhere and somehow, I forgot to talk about said flag. XD

I is clever, I swear.

I came up with two flags, one for my new tyrannical Australian Fascist state, and I finally made one for my rebels. I haven't been able to think of a decent name for them that doesn't sound stupid though. Ah well. They'll get a name at some point, I'm sure.

( Anyway, onto the flags... )

I have far too much time on my hands, don't I?

Also, I've begun formalising said novel into a proper one, so I've taken out the random scenes and put them into a separate document, and I've got chapters now. :D Sixteen of them so far. And a table of contents. :D It has structure now! I want to start editing, but it's not finished, and I feel it'd be pointless to bother until I've finished, so I might just leave it, even if I desperately want to change the first part. Hmm. Must stop making graphics and actually write something. That might help. XD

Novel is not getting happier.

I held off the torture as long as possible. I'll try to make it as short and as less fatal as possible. I can't have you dying on me yet.

Apologies to all my characters, especially the ones who didn't escape the attack on the arena.

P.S. I'm going to continue posting in here as I work on the story, even though it's December. So nyah. :P

*whacks Tim, Adam and Wil*

Evil bitches.

A kinky bondage threesome with Tim in charge was not what I was aiming to write tonight.

You are all accused of attempts at turning my lovely novel into smut.

I don't care how hot it is.

Quit it or I will withhold sex from you until you learn to behave.

Your Narrator


Dear Narrator,

Just give in. They'll even agree to ponies. And leather. I'll do them up all pretty like. I'm willing to throw in some drag here. I know you've been looking for a way to fit that in. Come on, you know you want to write it. Stuff the migraine. We'll entertain you.

Tim,
on behalf of Adam and Wil


Dear Tim,

Stop being evil. Stop playing to my weaknesses.

Your Narrator


Dear Narrator,

It's either this or 50kinkyways. Your call. Do you really want to be limited by only one prompt?

Tim,
on behalf of Adam and Wil


Dear Tim,

Oh, you evil little bitch!

Fine. You win. But just this once.

Your Narrator
*****************************
Dear Seb,

Quit speaking in riddles. It's driving me crazy. I don't care if you're a Shinto God. Get over it.

Your Narrator.

Right, well, in filling out on eof those character sheets about Seb, I've learnt he's not human. Fun. Apparently, he's some sort of kami [Shinto God] who was sent into a human body for some crime I'm not aware of yet.

The kami in the shield in the shrine is a kami sent to watch over him, I think. To make sure he behaves himself. Or something like that. She's pretty too, actually. Reminds me of a combination of Amaterasu and Aset/Isis. Sort of. XD

I think this is why I've never seen a family around him, just Seb, alone. Also why the house Adam visited seemed like Seb had only ever lived there. He built it. I don't know how long he was living as a human before he met Adam though. I don't know how old he is either. Damn mysterious characters developing personalities without me asking them to.

This might also explain why he seems so big for a supposedly Japanese man. Seriously, he's made it clear he's taller than Jules, and that's not a normal Japanese size at all. That's over 6 foot. How much over 6 foot I don't know, but he's a big guy at any rate. Big and muscular and smexy strong. With pretty long black hair and gorgeous green eyes and even gorgeous-er wings. Did I mention I'm crushing on him at the moment?

I'll post the profile thingie when I'm done with it. He's determined to be a big part of my story now. Stubborn little thing. He's very pretty though.

But he can't make toast. That was a surprise revelation. Part of his attachment to Adam I think is that Adam teaches him how to be human. So they teach each other, in a way.

Aww, now I want to include a cute little flashback to Seb making breakfast for Adam but burning the toast and Adam being all cute about it and showing him how to make it. Aww. I have to find a way to include that. Totally. XD Big brave warrior that can't make toast. *giggles* That's so cute. He loves toast and gets frustrated that he can't make it. Aww. Poor thing. XD

Um, yeah. I think this is definitely Adam's story now, what with Seb being so persistent. Unless I focus it on the few he was close to when he was alive (I think that includes Adam, Wil, Tim and Craig, and maybe one other). That might make it not so narrow-foussed. Hmm.

*wanders off to write some more*

He's a very hard guy to pin down, is Seb. Since I didn't actually describe what he looked like in much detail, I thought I'd better make some sort of image of him.

OK, so I found several. it was hard to pin down one image that was Seb through and through.

What I know about Seb is that he's older than Adam, though how much older I don't know, Japanese, and knows some sort of Japanese martial arts, maybe more than one. Wise yet rebellious. Knows when to fight and when to speak. I don't know when he or his family arrived in Australia though. Long enough to build a house and a small Shinto shrine though. Perhaps he's the only one of his family here, and that's why he had the shield for the shrine. Apart from that, that's about all I know about him.

I swear I never expected him to becoem a character in his own right. He was only going to be mentioned, but he's developed a personality and history post-mortem.

Because I care about you, pics are under the cut. :) There's six, I made the last two. Oh, shush, I have not been obsessing over this doll maker here

( Seb pictures under the cut )

Because I decided I needed to counter all the fucking angst in my playlist with some anger. I added around 200 tracks. XD Go figure. :P So yay for me. :D

294 tracks in playlist, average track length: 4:58
Playlist length: 24 hours 22 minutes 12 seconds

Dear Craig,

I know how much you love editing my work and wandering around all smug like because you've seen fit to decree that you and only you should be able to hear my narration, a fact you love rubbing in your fellow characters noses to an obnoxious degree, I might add, but for the sake of my remaining sanity, could you desist, pretty please?

Constant arguments between us will only cause me stress and make me more likely to let Andrew kill you. So can we agree to not fight constantly while I'm writing? We're not supposed to edit while we're writing (or afterwards) so can we not try and be that crucial in the editing department? That's what December's for, ok?

Now, be a good little winged muse and behave and you can beat Andrew in that little fight you have.

Your Narrator

To Chris and Andrew,

I really appreciate the lovely piece of smut you inspired earlier this evening, very well done. I can see you're totally focused on the upcoming NaNo getting in each other's pants. You're doing a fine job of making Craig very jealous.

And yes, that piece of smut you inspired is indeed very hot. I'm not denying that.

But, would it kill you to quit thinking about sex long enough to help me with NaNo? Please?

Your Narrator
