The Super Secret LiLe Project
Okay, so I looked at my previous comments to see if there were any questions I needed to answer and Lile mentions her new WIP in it. She says we still manage to steal ideas so, maybe if I study chapter 8 and 9 of Blessed Hearts long enough I can figure out something about An American Fairytale. Y/Y ?
The Super Secret Shawna Project
Okay, there isn't one of these, but wouldn't it be awesome if there was. I'm just trudging along, trying to figure out how to make a coherent new plot and not get sucked into TVTropes.
Don't call it a Comeback
I also want to point out my idea of Re-booting series, isn't exactly original either.
Seroul ?
Sorry to say, but I can't cosign on to this ship. I wanted their relationship to be very close friends. The relationship between Soul and Seraphim was the first one that came to mind and the first one I really developed. This is kind of random, but it is based on the trailer for the movie, Restless--which at the time hadn't been released. I just think Mia and Henry looked like Seraphim and Soul to me.
Anyway, this movie has a 27% rating on Rotten Tomatoes so . . .I think the trailer is still nice, if not super spoilery.
Chapter 10
This chapter's music took me around the ringer. I kept making playlists and the not saving them, so I had to try and remember what songs I wanted. I had to use my new adage of when in doubt . . .use Breaking Dawn soundtrack. (:
-1- Violet Hour by The Civil Wars (youtube link--this song won't embed into Mixpod)
-2- You Found Me by Vitamin String Quartet
-3- Cold by Aqualung
-4- It Will Rain by Aqualung
Seraphim and Soul have made it to the Demon world, but Rin is now fighting her own Demons when Dark shears her wings.

Oh, Honey I felt an epilogue coming on. Now I have to know what happens next. Your playlist is like magic though !
ReplyDeleteI have to know what happens next too . . .
DeleteLooking over the myths I can see how inspired the story is, it's like my eyes have been open to all the working parts.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad
DeleteI really thought that was the end (: So glad for the FAQ. I can' wait to see what happens . . .
ReplyDeleteMe neither ! I wish I had more Q in the FAQ
DeleteCome on, Soul you totally had the "What the hell hero" trope going on. They were so close.
ReplyDeleteI save the What The Hell Hero for Veritas.
DeleteI'm calling that the "Arts Conservatory" student is Soul, or his human counterpart.
ReplyDeleteI felt so happy for Seraphim when she had Gabriel's soul, which is why I was all like :0 at the end.
ReplyDeleteWell, one of the things I wanted to explore (but could never fit in) is the fact that she was never going to bring him back. Sometimes you just can't bring someone back, you have to move on
DeleteOMG, The Vitamin Quartet song went so well with that section. I could visualize it, I squeeeed ! So sweet.
ReplyDeleteThat song was a last minute addition, but the name fit in so well with the story, I went with it.
DeleteI'm calling Dark as being angsty suicdal killer with mommy-issues
ReplyDeleteOnce again, I know more about Dark's character than anyone else in the future.
DeleteWhen I saw the Shawna V in the tab I thought it was going to be about Veritas then I remembered you were married ):
ReplyDeleteOh, I just forgot to delete that. Sorry for the confusion.
DeleteI wonder if they are going to remember what happened ?? That is exactly how I pictured Rin looking. Is that Mara Rooney ?
ReplyDeleteI wonder too ! (jk, I know . . .) No, that's not Mara Rooney that's Shannyn Sossamon--she's much older than Rin would be, but I love her look.
DeleteYes, I would like more about Cassius and Cassandra please . . .
ReplyDeleteMe too, but I think they are good in small portions.
DeleteMe too, but I think they are good in small portions.
DeleteThe question is does Soul really love Rin ? I mean he did look back.
ReplyDeleteHe was being tricked. I guess the Queen didn't know that.
DeleteWell, it all happened kind of fast and she didn't know what to do. If she yelled at him it was a trick he would have turned around either way.
DeleteI tell ya, these Greeks were the originators of Instalove
ReplyDeleteI take it the rest of the series will be written in third person ?
ReplyDeleteHoney, I think you might have bested me in third person. I guess something about it makes it fun. You don't have to "be" anyone else if that makes sense
DeleteI will have to blog about how HARD 3rd person was. It was so hard ! But, yeah it might be in 3rd person.
DeleteAre we ever going to learn what Darks obsession is with Rin ?
ReplyDeleteHe is obsessed with beauty. He thought she was beautiful--not a good reason IRL, but it works in greek tragedies !
DeleteI kept getting a prequel vibe from this story, it felt like it was leading up to this moment. Will there be anymore Mythology references.
ReplyDeleteIt was all leading up to that moment. I wanted to try my hand at "reincarnation" and I went the long way to doing it. I think I'm done with the Mythology references.
DeleteWhat about the prophecy ?
ReplyDeleteBetter question : Who killed Dark. Was it his dad because the queen wasn't protecting him or was it Cassius ?
DeleteI second the King killing him
DeleteWhat about the prophecy ? *raises eyebrows*
DeleteThe king killed him for helping the Queen,even though he really wasn't. Like Dark said, all the King needed was a reason.
Gah ! The teasing with the Veritas reboot I can't take it anymore.
ReplyDeleteI'm chipping away--I promise. I actually had a major breakthrough on the new thematic structure. Now, I should probably write something.
DeleteIs the stain on Rin's face from the blood she smeared on her face ?
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Seraphim is going to get her old life back, that would be interesting.
ReplyDeleteIt would be . . .
DeleteThe music was so beautiful and amazing ! Soul is so sweet, even if he is to good.
ReplyDeleteYeah, he really needed to take a level in badass
DeleteWhy does Boyce Ave. make every mediocre song sound SO amazing, I think this novella had alot of remixes actually
ReplyDeleteI know, I need to know their secret. I think it's the acoustics and husky voices--no computerized voices and autotune.
DeleteI think I changed Spirits so many times that I can't remember which version that post is referring to. I can't imagin rebooting something so big, I'd love to know your process.
ReplyDeleteYep, then maybe you guys can do half and half to get it here sooner.
DeleteMaybe I'll post about the process at some point.
DeleteMaybe I'll post about the process at some point.
DeleteThe FAQ was so funny, I lol'd !
ReplyDeleteYay !
DeleteI need a tiny tiny preview or something ! I didn't expect it to end so soon (:
ReplyDeleteMe too. But, I'll be honest. I have literally nothing written down for the BH sequel. It's all just ideas.
DeleteIf Rin's wings hadn't been sheared would she still have them as a human ?
ReplyDeleteI guess we will find out if Dark shows up.
DeleteI guess we will
DeleteSo, is there an explanation for the name of Dark's sword . . .
ReplyDeleteOh, yes there is ! Dark and The King is based on the story of Cronus and his son, Zeus. Cronus swallowed all his children after they were born, so none of them could kill him. Of course Cronus's wife tricks him, by having him swallow a stone, thus allowing Zeus to live. Then Zeus kills him.
DeleteSo, I named the sword Cronus after that.
