Man of Steel?

Nah | haven’t seen yet | didn’t like/gave up | like it | love it | highly recommend.

Why?: I’m very sorry anon but I tend to use this movie as an example where I’ve watched something and it’s “two hours of my life I’m not getting back.” Personally I thought it was a terrible movie. The way Jonathon Kent died was enough on it’s own but I also didn’t think the plot made sense, and it was unevenly paced. Basically not my cup of tea I suppose. Sorry!

Ask Me? TV Series or Movie

I’ve got an anyelle prompt if anyone wants one. I’m been thinking about Shaun from Summer recently because he deserves something good in his life. Seriously I think I wrote in my review that Shaun really needs a Belle! Then when I couldn’t sleep I started wondering what would happen if he met Lacey instead?

Think about it. Shaun is adrift at the end of the movie. He’s looking out for Daniel (Daz’s son) but what else does he have? Daniel was quite worried about him so imagine Daniel dragging Shaun along on a night out at a club. Shaun feels totally out of place, and sort of perches at the bar, where he runs into Lacey who looks at him and decides he looks pretty good. Shaun is stunned and just follows when she drags him home.

Lacey would know the grim reality of life, and empathize with how shitty it can be, at the same time as injecting some fun back into Shaun’s life. Where Belle would want to talk feelings, Lacey would just laugh and probably make a dirty suggestion. Not that Lacey doesn’t feel things deeply (because she definitely does) but she guards her heart carefully. After they’d fallen into a pattern of spending time together, they could do soul searching in the dark in between rounds one and two. Nothing heavy that would scare either of them but enough that something real could develop between them over time.

So yeah not much of a prompt I guess. It’s kinda “what would happen if Shaun met Lacey in a club?” but if anyone likes it then have at it 🙂

Hello from Santa! Just checking in to say I hope you’re having an ok weekend. I’m trying to clear my deck of outstanding writing so that I can focus on your gift. ;-) I also have now got a copy of the film! I know you said it didn’t have to follow the film very strictly but if I’m doing a film then I like to watch the film first, even if I then deviate. That’s tomorrow night’s entertainment sorted! ~ Santa

Awwww Santa

You are so sweet! I hope you’ll enjoy the movie because it would be a real shame if you didn’t. I know movie AU prompts are a bit unpopular for this reason, but I figured the basic summary would be enough and so it might be alright. I really hope you didn’t feel obligated. Oh *hugs you* I hope you have a great weekend!

My weekend is going alright so far. Well … I spent the afternoon (and evening) on my entry for this months Monthly Rumbelling prompt and while I was working the whole time, it doesn’t look like I accomplished much *glares at it* still I should have at least some of tomorrow to work on it some more.

*hugs you again* you are awesome Santa! 🙂

So I’m doing research for an up coming story, and I’ve been messing around in google translate.  Apparently the word for fairy in Scottish Gaelic is sìthiche.  Blue why you so shady?!

She’s the Sith Lord we’ve been searching for!

(I’m going to be laughing about this for days)

Camp NaNoWriMo: Rumbelle Style

im-not-a-what:

still-searching47:

Yes it is that time again. In July there is another session of Camp NaNo and just like in April I will be running a cabin! I know RCIJ has to be posted on the 23rd but for the first three weeks camp could be a boost if anyone wanted it.

For anyone that doesn’t know Camp NaNo is different from regular November NaNo in a couple of crucial ways:

  1. You can set your own word count goal (I don’t think there’s a minimum value so set it as high or as low as you like)
  2. They allow you to track time and pages, in addition to words. So you could write a screenplay, edit a story, plan a story, write poetry, whatever you want really.
  3. They have these things called cabins

It is because of these cabins that I am making this post.

A dozen Rumbelle writers signed up for the April session, and I think it went well so let’s go again. The cabins are for 20 writers and they have like a messageboard thing allowing communication on the NaNo site. I’ve always found it’s easier to write knowing I’m among friends, rather than sitting alone banging my head against the keyboard. I’ve been doing Camp NaNo for years and it always sucks if the cabin is a ghost town so in my cabin:

  1. I post daily facts everyday for inspiration purposes
  2. I post a daily word count challenge
  3. Time zones permitting I run word sprints

Generally I’ve found that so long as somebody’s talking, then the cabin picks up in activity anyway. So got a fanfic you want to finish? Doing RCIJ? Just wanting a boost in the writing stakes? 

Camp NaNo is a lot more relaxed than regular NaNo, as I said above you can work on different kinds of writing, or different parts of the writing process, or even on lots of projects at once. Camp is really about just making progress on things, and getting stuff done in a supportive and friendly environment. So there’s no real barrier to joining in the fun 🙂

If you would like to join then sign up and/or create a project on the Camp NaNo site. Then reply/reblog/message me with your NaNo username and I will send you a cabin invite. You must create your project first or the invite won’t work. Any questions or anything let me know 🙂

This sounds awesome! Is it all right to join the cabin if you’re a Rumbeller but aren’t working on a Rumbelle fic? Maybe if the project takes inspiration from Rumbelle? ;D

Absolutely! It’s called Rumbelle Style because the advert for the cabin was aimed at the Rumbelle fandom. You can work on whatever project you like during the month! It doesn’t have to be inspired by Rumbelle at all. I just figured if we all had ‘liking Rumbelle’ as a common point of interest, it would make for a friendly cabin is all 🙂 So you are more than welcome to join!

Hello my dear, Santa here! I’ve been thinking some more about your fic. Still haven’t started writing it yet *shameface*. Anyway, I’ve had a couple of ideas I wanted to get your opinion on! I was thinking of having teen Bae/Neal arrive after Milah decides to give up her custody of him in order to move to the Italian Riviera to live on a boat with her boyfriend. (cont)


(cont) And I was also thinking of having someone like Mal or Ursula be Gold’s boss/the restaurant owner, someone that he would respect but not be afraid to speak his mind to, and vice versa. Let me know what you think! ~ Santa

Hey Santa *waves*

That’s alright I haven’t had chance to start my RCIJ fic either, there’s still plenty of time. That sounds like a great way to get Bae/Neal involved! As a teenager there could be a lot of friction there, which Belle could soothe as only Belle can. Regarding Gold’s boss, I hadn’t really given it much thought. I suppose I’d given passing consideration to Regina because she’s a favorite of mine and it would be nice if she was involved somehow.

I don’t know how you feel about Regina, please don’t feel you have to try and include anyone you don’t like. I want you to enjoy writing this fic! Either Mal or Ursula sounds great! Personally I’ve always struggled to get a handle on Ursula as a character, I find Mal easier to write myself, but basically choose whomever you would like to write and think fits best, it’s all good with me 🙂 I’m happy with whatever honestly. Just have fun!

I hope you have a good week Santa!

ETA: I’m an idiot. I just assumed it was a fic because probability says that’s likely. If it’s not a fic then that’s very cool Santa! I love everything! Seriously, anything and everything that you could make is fine. I will flail excitedly no matter what 🙂

WIP meme: laugh, wonder, fall

Thank you! Also good choices heh, I’ve written sod all in ages but you picked good words 🙂

Untitled GoldenLace Bonnie and Clyde

Gold laughed, actual honest laughter. That hadn’t happened to him in a while, but then he hadn’t been this amused in a while either. There hadn’t been much to laugh about inside, he had been far too busy calculating his next move.

*****

She was petite, and it pissed her off how occasionally she was intimidated by guys
because they towered over her even in heels. Gold’s slight build meant that wasn’t a problem, his accent sent tingles down her spine and his deft movements made her wonder what else he could do with those hands.

*****

He had never been the type of idiot to fall for a pretty face, and think with his cock rather than his brain. If he was going to even think, about thinking about taking this job, he needed to do so with a clear head.

From upcoming WIP Nightwalkers

Gold laughed, not a soft chuckle, but a full blown body shaking laugh. His face transformed, losing the smugness that made her want to slap him, and turning warm. Uneasily Belle realized that he was actually a very attractive man.

*****

Finally Aurora ran out of combinations for Belle to try and she was allowed to get dressed in her own clothes. Belle checked her watch and her eyebrows shot up to her hairline. She’d been trying on clothes for three hours, no wonder the whole process had felt interminable.

*****

Belle prowled round the table, taking care to look disinterested when her gaze hit the table. If Cora was paranoid about others cheating, perhaps to deflect attention from her own cheating ways, then the last thing Belle wanted was to fall under suspicion for that.

Under My Skin Belle: What sort of stories do you write? By chance would you ever write a story that features a Lachlan sort of character? ;)

image

(OOC: Oh man I feel so guilty about this story *hides in box of shame*)

My stories stem from characters so I write anything and everything. Most of my stories have an element of romance in but the genre background varies wildly. Right now, I’m writing a mystery romance story. As for a Lachlan type character, well I don’t intentionally ever write anyone I know into my books, but sometimes things wind up in there anyway. Never say never.

TMI Tuesday

Ask me about the show. Ask me anything about my fics, ask my characters anything. You can send me a word and if it’s in my WIP doc then I’ll post a teaser snippet. I accept prompts for any of my existing verses.

This week I posted:
Nothing relevant. I did post a little missing scene ficlet from Captain America: Civil War, but that’s not Rumbelle so it doesn’t count.

You could also ask me a question off any of these lists.
