So, a little bird (so,Erik) told me you all have been made some wishlists for Vice 2. I thought I'd give my 10 cents:
15 Qs and Some As
1. Some undercover scheme that involves Sara having to pretend to be a stripper.I haven't written it, but I imagine something like this does actually happen.But not with Sara.
2. On the serious side I would seriously love for Maxwell to show up again, maybe get a little mini origin story with him. I would also want Hayley to show up. . . but I'm rooting hard for him.
This is what I get for TDOSHing Sundays instead of leaving the door closed isn't it ?
3. Also I think Dakota would be am interesting advisary
He does show up in an adversarial way
4. Alan's real last name. Or at least a tiny inkling
I don't know what it is to be honest and I kind of like it better that way. Juggling not saying his real name does come up and I had to find an...interesting way to get around it. More on this later.
5. Finding out that Tempus made a live evil twin version of Alan and then he can have a side series
This does not happen. Sorry !
6. A love interest for Sara because she has a sad backstory
Hmm...
7. A love interest for Luce because that clashing with Sara would be funny ! LOL
As far as I know this does not happen, but I can only imagine the crack. Although Luce has a HUGE crush on Minnow if it isn't obvious by how mean he is to her.
8. MORE MINNIE. That is all
In Vice 2 Minnie steps up a lot and I'd like to think takes a level in badass
9. I also think Dakota would be a cool antagonist along with Bell
Some of this conflict is in there...
10. More new characters
And how. Please send ideas for cool / futuristic names.
11. A fun side story with Mrs. Washington and Sara from the past
Kind of... I mean minus the fun.
12. A cameo as a super-cool hacker, black market doctor or maybe a high class hooker. I'm flexible
Sure. done ! Internal monologue: ....what the hell am I writing ?
13. Imagine Dragons !
Well, there is lots of Coldplay, Hozier and Sam Smith
14. CHAPTER ONE. If I could just see that . . .
If I could just figure out which one is going to be Chapter 1...
15. Perhaps some more literary quotes ! In Veritas we had Twilight and in Vice we of course had Slaughterhouse Five.
I don't have any of these right now. HMLIS kind of literary quoted me out.
HMLIS Goodies
I have two HMLIS bonuses to share. One is a flash fic (and I mean flash) at the link below and the other is about 500 words of chapter 1 with a third person POV. Also, I've done some small updates to the site.
Playlist: - Photograph- by Ed Sheerhan (My new ES Fave!)
HMLIS Chapter 1 in 3rd person.
So. . . who is this preppy nurse with a kid ?
ReplyDeleteAlso I was totally drunk when I wrote that . . .
Did I steal something ? There is no intent behind that line.
DeleteUm, you guys Tempus did make Alan's evil twin, what do you think Veritas was. LOL
ReplyDeleteLol, I was going to make this joke !
DeleteI find it really hard to forgive Blythe. I can't believe Abigail's parent's told her not to see her Abigail shouldn't WANT to get back with her.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it also seems like Blythe might have matter other than alcoholism.
DeleteLorrie- Well, for Abigail the last memories she really has of Blythe are of being in love with her.
DeleteEden- Blythe has a lot of issues and as I've said, I don't see them together.
ReplyDeleteOooo ! I like the classy font on the site.
Thanks ! I totally wanted the pretty cursive-y fonts like Olivia J used, but then I saw this font.
DeleteI never caught on to this. Is the reason Jonah so "meh" about not using an expensive violin because he has his mini-trust fund
ReplyDeleteI mean...yeah, pretty much. (Told you there were some LL similiarities)
Delete. . . can Alan be the stripper. I'd love to read that . . .
ReplyDeleteI literally just lol'ed. I can honestly say this does not happen...atleast I don't think....actually I could maybe make that work. Hmm...
DeleteTTAB seems to hint at a bit of sweetness. Is this part of Olivia J ?
ReplyDeleteAre we going to hear from Liv anytime soon.
DeleteHeaps- It's not part of Olivia J because this couldn't be read as a standalone.
DeleteJune- I'm in full on Vice 2 mode, so Liv and I are taking a break.
ReplyDeleteI forgot all about this list. It would be so awesome to get a love interest for Sara.
Can it be Alan ? I don't know why I want this. I think it's that part where Alan falls down and Sara jokes about him getting up the seventh time. I just love that part !
DeleteSara is just way, way, way to mature to be into Alan. He's closer in age to her son than he is to her!
DeleteWas Blythe a character you knew a lot about, even though she had such little page-time ?
ReplyDeleteI knew about her from when I started writing and decided I wanted Abigail to have been pushed, so maybe a few chapter in. I do wish I could have given her more page time, but it just didn't work out.
DeleteSo it seems like our wish list targeted in on some Vice insights Y/y
ReplyDeleteIncidentally...yes.
DeleteOh, for some futuristic names you can use mine and my stepkids. Just as long as they aren't . . . um, bad people ? Lets see there is Pepper, Dill, Primrose, Bay and Clover !
ReplyDelete. . . so what is your Stepkids last name ?
Delete. . . Grinder. . . why ?
DeleteWas Primrose before of after The Hunger Games....I do kind of like Bay and Clover though...
DeleteWow, Jonah comes across way more charming in first pov than third.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason everything seems more charming to me in third person. I think part of the reason I abandoned this was because I was re-writing a first person when I should have just started from scratch.
Delete
ReplyDeleteWhat was Mrs. Washington's first name again ? Is she (and Sara I guess) younger than Rayne ?
Mrs. Washington's first name is Ivy and she and Sara are one year apart (29, 30) and Rayne is 41.
Delete
ReplyDeleteWas the ingenious Trebled waters line not in the first draft ?
Oh, that was a last last last minute addition, so no. That was in my final edit stage.
DeleteAhhh, whenever SHV asks questions in her post I know she is up to something.
ReplyDeleteRight ? Right ? Isn't it . . . ?
Delete
ReplyDeleteWHAT ? I did not get Luce having a crush on Minnie. It makes so much sense now. Does she know ?
Hmm... I think she has some idea and that's why she teases him back.
DeleteI mean I didn't want to get too into this, but I mean he's a 13-year-old boy, she's a 16-year-old girl who barely wears any clothes. I mean not to get into "boys will be boys" territory, but she let's say she...gives him thoughts and she knows it.
I would so hate to be the guy who has to pry off all those locks. Why so sad in TTAB ? ):
ReplyDeleteOne day in the future (so like, 2016) I will write some HMLIS fluff to make up for it.
