The Web Of Lies

Word count: OVER 95000! (5092 to be precise. XD)

I wanted to get a good lot done today so I can not worry so much during the week while I complete the last few assignments I have to do. Then I can forget about that and concentrate on studying for my exams and writing the hell out of this novel. :D

Anyway. For the interested, here's the draft unedited 'this is probably not going to stay this way' lot of stuff I wrote today, including my fabulously awesome scene titles (since I'm doing this in yWriter for once. XD)

Includes prologue I probably need to lengthen, and what I have written of chapter 1. Not having much of a plan means I'll have to make chapters as I go along. That probably is a good spot to end Ch1, but we'll see.

( There's a cut over here, and a cut over there )

Any typos etc will be fixed up later. XD But yes. Not bad for a day's work. :D

If you wish to tell me how good/bad/WTFy/etc it is, feel free. I'm still working on an overall style here, so it's a little more conversational in parts. So IDK. I suppose it'll turn out how it turns out, steampunk or otherwise. XD

Title: Moonlighting
Puns: Rather a lot. And not just in the title. XD
Characters: several. Some more annoying than others. Some behaving more than others. Decided runaway princess and androgynous girl disguise as a boy are the same character. No, wait, I didn't decide that, Craig did. Fail. XD Andrew still perfectly content to mess around with his radio and build an electric guitar. Managed to talk Charles out of royalty; is still insisting on nobility of some kind, and wants to be higher than Chris, who's currently a son of the 4th Earl of Aylesford. Annoyed at Jalyn for getting annoyed at me because I keep spelling his name wrong. XD
( Cut for length - there be moar updatings under here :D )

Might as well do a list of who I've got at the moment. No pics as yet; still working on them and I've only done Charles and Andrew so far. I'll do a proper post later if/when I get around to doing the rest of them.

Umm. Bit of background regarding magic.
( Magic Notes )


OH. And a note on the town divisions. [Provisional unless I get a better idea XD] Basically, after the 1791 riots, the place gets divided in two, and the Dissenters take land for themselves (and control of the canals), while the Loyalists (they weren't called that, but it will suffice - they were loyal to King and Church etc) take their own territory and control of the rail lines. In trying to intervene and fix things, King George III only allows the trains to run to the Loyalists, so to cut out the Dissenters and punish them, but not in an overly obvious way. So you have two sides, with their own armies and territory, at some sort of stand off. Neither wants to give in, and both try and rebuild in an attempt to outdo each other.


Anyway. Character list as at 15th October 2009.
( Have a cut, because I care )


I HAVE NO FEMALE CHARACTERS. SUGGESTIONS WELCOME. :D

ALSO. I DON'T KNOW IF WE'LL GET TO THE WHOLE 'ANDR00 BUILDS A PERFECT HUMAN' THING. THEY WON'T LET ME PLAN IT OUT. HAVE THREATENED ME WITH MUTINY IF I DARE. SO I SHALL JUST HAVE TO SEE HOW THINGS GO WHEN I START WRITING AND HOPE WE GET SOME SEMBLANCE OF A PLOT. D:

ALSO, IT DIDN'T HELP THAT CRAG WANTS TO BE AN ANNOYING BRAT AND RUN AROUND ANNOYING PEOPLE, RATHER THAN BE SOME PERFECT CLONE. HE THINKS IT'LL BE MORE FUN. DX

Doing steampunk this year. Because apparently I suck at resisting a challenge. XD Thanks, bewarethespork, much appreciated. :P

It'll be fanfic again. The Chaser, because that was what Jay suggested. XD

So, er, lemme present preliminary notes/synopsis/research so far. Subject to change as I keep looking into this, so yeah. This ain't set in stone. :P

XD)(He was bouncing around! It was adorable. XD)
- Julian Morrow and Chas Licciardello (soldiers in the Loyal Birmingham Volunteers Corp, founded in 1802 by Charles' father and used to by Charles when he takes over his late father's estate to keep the peace during the crisis)(Yes, this allows for epic adventures, dammit. XD)

( Chapter Twenty Seven )

Unlocked a bunch of fic. Most stuff barring Chaser fic (and a few things no one needs to see - I really should make them private) is now public.

Why? So I don't have to think so much about whether or not I have to flock when posting shit. My brain power is being taken up with other things at the moment, and I cbf remembering this stuff.

Lazy Sasha is lazy, I know, okay?

Though. Anything written for citrus_taste will be public. I say that cos I plan to write moar Chaser fic for that, so yeah. Amongst all the other fandoms I plan to write for that table. XD

Summary: Written while listening to too much Prodigy and Idle Race songs, Roy coaxes Jeff into dropping some acid with him, and the experience isn’t one he’ll forget in a hurry. Set early 1970; Jeff’s POV.
