Recap: Tick-tock

Lucy:
So far my favorite is a response to summary executions number eight, it's a comment based on some of the stuff in the comments, or this one in particular:

"One boy. Two Rings. Three girls. Need I say more?"

This response, remember seeing it? :

"One boy for the Hogwarts fans, who want to see him snog.
Two Rings in I.P., that Harry and Draco wore.
Three girls want Snape with the werewolf and dog.
All in my Potterfic, need I say more?
One fic to raise hopes and one fic to dash them,
One fic to bring the boys and in the fandom slash them!"

The sad thing is, a lot of the summaries are probably better than the actual fic.... All of them are at the level where they can make you laugh until you cry. Either that or you start off crying and continue the entire way.
Eck, I think my brain's in shock.

I'll be getting a lot busier starting this Friday, I think, so a lot of my summer-time projects are going to either be wrapped up by Friday or postponed indefinitely. It's time to reorganize my time, AGAIN. Cheers.

With regards to BEA, I'm going to re-write it. Elaboration: I am going to forget what I have now and start over from scratch, going back to my so-old-it's-crumbling original plans from I-don't-know-when and using third-person omniscent perspective and rule out Kerral's perspective entirely. I think the mage's name was originally Ian. The plot's staying, but some details might get changed. Reason: writing from two people's perspective by myself requires skills I do not yet have and trying to do it is driving me nuts. Old English is fun, but I'm starting to get the personality details mixed up and trying to think of one event logically from two different sets of characteristics (which I'd soon have to do, if I continue as is), is mind-bogglingly complicated. I think it's the correct decision mostly because instead of feeling regret and frustration, as I usually do when I have to rewrite something, all I felt is relief so--hasta luego Kerral! Ciao!
I am keeping an digital file of story ideas, looking through them is very interesting.
