FZAFSOAAWA ???

So, this post is actually super old. UL3 has turned into such a personal project for me lately that I've been abandoning my posting. It's not so much that UL is personal to me so much as I finally know where I'm going and  I just want to get it out. I just want to finish it for myself at this point.

Anyway, I'll share this post I wrote a while ago and then add in updates in purple TDOSH Style !  

I FINISHED MY OUTLINE FOR UL3 AND I WANT TO GIVE YOU GUYS A SNEAK PEAK:

(pretend there is a page break here)

How I Imagine You All Right Now 

 

I somehow have two outlines for UL3 and this screenshot is just showing chapter 16 to the end. The colors represent where chapters begin and end and...for some reason I kept writing on top of the outline so my latest chapter outline would be on top so it actually reads backwards. So, even if you can somehow read it, I doubt it will make sense.

 This outline feels so satisfying yet so scary. It's just so odd to think of UL3 being so sketched out and outlined beforehand  because the original UL was the pantsiest thing to ever pants.

Chapter 18
As I mentioned in a comment on a previous post, chapter 18 and chapter 19 were originally together, but I broke them up because it didn't flow...I guess I could have done a double chapter post.

I always knew I would work Juliana's past with Brad and Topix into the story. The adult video stuff was so implict in UL, but never explicitly stated and I just didn't have the context back then to dig into it like I do know.

When outlining I hadn't put much thought into who would be the one to post about her being on a porn site. Originally I think I wanted it to be Cortland, but then I re-read some of his parts and he really wouldn't have cared that much to try and ruin her life. Then it was going to be Brad's son Patrick, but then I remembered Hunter and it was a good fit.

Also, while writing chapter 18 I originally planned to go in more deep with the whole mental hospital stay and did a TON of research, but ended up leaving a lot of it out because this serial is already pretty long. I did kind of fudge on her being involuntarily committed--most people with anxiety who go to mental wards have to go voluntarily.

A THING ?
So, you guys I wrote about 300 words of  Formless Zombie Apocolypse Fantasy Space Opera Aliens Assassian Wizard of Oz -ish  Thing (FZAFSOAAWA ?) I mentioned in my last post for NaNoWriMo and it was just kind of silly, but now I have a few plot bunnies running around in my head.  This serial is still in the very, very, very, early stages but it could be something ? Maybe ?

If I do write it, it probably wont see the light of day for 9 months or so, but it's nice to know the muse machine is still working. 

Extra Detailed Recap

A year after Hurricane Katrina, Rhett graduates from the Rescue Swimmer School, he get stationed in New Orleans  and he and Juliana move into his paternal grandparents house and start a life together in Freeport.

Hunter Day, Cortland's younger bother anonymously posts Juliana's videos on a Freeport community website when he sees a story about them written by Rocket Olsen. Then Rhett's cousin West posts the comment on Facebook and quickly deletes it but it's too late. Juliana is humiliated in front of church and ends up spiraling into a catatonic state onset by her mood disorder.

Rhett calls her Dad and they make  her to go to a mental hospital in Connecticut since Rhett has to go to work for three days and can't be with her and he doesn't want to tell anyone how she abandoned Mason. At the mental hospital Juliana gets back into knitting, writes some very mean e-mails to Rhett, receives an indecent proposal via e-mail from a neighbor named Marty Enlign and finds out she is still part of Amber Cunningham's wedding to Rhett's cousin--the same cousin who posted about her on Facebook.

When Juliana's released from the mental hospital on a trial drug she has to stay in Connecticut for observation.The the first thing she does when she leaves is find Hunter Day (who is your basic proto-gamer gater) at Yale and gives him a piece of her mind.

When she gets back to her Dad's house she finds him reading through some of Juliana's letters from Rhett from when she was in jail. Her Dad tells her he found the letters because they were going through her things to figure out where she had gone. He Dad tells her it's time to destroy the letters because they represent an ugly past.

Whew !
