I hate the Hunger Games.
I mean I really, REALLY hate the Hunger Games.
Now I'm reading Catching Fire and I have to resist the urge to rip my eyeballs out of my head. I mean, holy smokes, am I the only one to notice the sheer magnitude of those info dumps? I feel like a dump truck landed on my face and then said, "Here! Take this!" as it unloads its information on me.
And that's only Chapter One and Two.
All my friends who have read it told me the last two books suck. Why am I reading this then? Just... why?
It's those darn fanfiction ideas, I tell yah. Also the movie, but mostly the fanfictions. I want to write a Hunger Games fanfiction with as much passion as my hatred for the series. Can I do it? Can I pull it off? I don't know.
So we shall see what I have lined up. After NaNo, I'm going to be going through my novel and rewrite a bit. Because of NaNo, I have a lot of awkward scene transitions, some useless dialogue, and a lot more tell than show, which really ticks me off (another reason I hate HG. Waaaaay too much telling). I will also be playing around with The MISSILE List. I went around and re-found my inspirations for it, so I'm a little psyched.
Also, probably will work on The Contained, With Light, and a new fantasy story idea in my head.
I mentioned in earlier posts about some story ideas I was excited for, such as Infinite Sorrow, Asashinkurido, and a couple others. Those are NOT being discarded. They are simply on hold. Infinite Sorrow still has a lot of world building to be worked out. I have lost my notes on Asashinkurido, so I am trying to reconstruct the idea from scratch ( D: ). And the others, well, they just started out as one-liner descriptions in my head and need a lot of work.
Some other things to look for on Wattpad in the near future: Asithesis one-shots and Assassin's Creed short stories! Whoot whoot! I have three Aisthesis one-shots coming out, including Can I Be Strong? and Ciel's Story (still needs a title). There is a LOT of planning going on behind my AC stories, so they will be coming out slower.
Aisthesis. I'm thinking of making a book. I have no clue what the book will be about. Maybe it will just be one-shot stories centered around the world of Aisthesis. Kind of like the book of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, where it's just a bunch of legends, all connected, shoved together in one collection. Does that sound interesting, or should I make a set plot and set characters and write that? Thoughts?
ANOTHER thing to look for on wattpad: my collection of old works. These are old works I will either be bringing back in the future (some of the concepts were neat even if my writing sucked) or just tidbits of things I loved a lot when I was younger. It's nothing really special. I think I have two books lined up and a bunch of unfinished stories.
YET ANOTHER thing I am probably putting on wattpad (tentative) is a collection of my finished short stories. I have a few. One is on Midnightering. One is on another blog of mine, and on that same blog is also a portion of a short story I wrote. This collection will probably be posted up before November is even out.
That's all my wattpad news...
ROLEPLAY NEWS! None really. RP is at the dullest of dull crawls, but the end of NaNo and semester exams/midterms should bring everyone back up to speed. Mastercraft Online should be up and running a bit in December along with HOTD. Still waiting on scrippies from Kiba, Mania, and Flamer for Angry Street Foes.
MUSIC! Ahh, can't forget the language of the soul. Tis very important. Here are some AWESOME pieces of music to listen to!
God Particle - Hans Zimmer
The Brotherhood Escapes - Jesper Kyd
Hitman 2 Main Title - Jesper Kyd
Beowulf Main Title - Alan Silvestri
The Cloud Atlas Sextet for Orchestra
Meadows of Heaven (instrumental) - Nightwish
I could go on forever, but I will leave you with that sort little list. Yes, tis all instrumentals and epic choirs, but it is all very, very beautiful and inspiring, at least in my opinion.
Fare thee well, my minions!
