    First, I've got some things I'd love love love some input on for my Zelda fanfiction.

    I'm thinking of calling it Legend of Zelda: "Something Here." The working title I was using was "Deluge", which I like, but I don't think it's really that catchy. Any ideas? Input?

    Question for you all: what are your favorite parts of Link's character(s)? Zelda's? What made your favorite sidekick your favorite (or if you have none, why not)? This would all seriously help.

    Something fun is that while I have a tendency which I think is kind of natural to lean towards the LDS idea of eternal union between married persons, in that once they are married they are always one and were never apart outside of time, but the course of this story led to the opposite like a smack in the face to me (and some of the characters.) Link and Zelda are destined to be together and fight Ganon together because of the gods and because of the curse, but their fates are ultimately different and they are ultimately two people. Everyone else really is "other people" in the end of things, which is part of what makes it sad. It's possible that any type of unity, even marital, is just an illusion....but we know it isn't, so that might be played with in a way. We'll see.

    Of course, I realize that loads of my themes from my other stuff are coming out in this, as I predicted...which makes me happy.

    But I'll be borrowing pretty liberally not just from Zelda but from other work. Mainly Authurian themes. And a slightly Peter Pan influence on the topic of fairies, mainly in what fairies are meant to be in relationship to mortal beings (in my take on them, the fairies reincarnate, sorta like the elves in Lord of the Rings.)

    Another question for you all again: What are your favorite places in the Zelda games? Favorite temples? Why?

    Because gosh, as much as I lament how lame my descriptions are, I really do love gushing on about scenery. It's part of what threatens to make my writing dull. But I'll have plenty of chances to work at mastering this while writing this, since I'll be dealing with so many different gorgeous places that the reader will presumably know/have an image of in the first place.

    So yeah, I finished the outline. It needs some work for editing and repacing, but I'm pretty happy with it. I'll be frank and say that while writing the outline was good and at times a little fun and interesting, it was ultimately pretty dull and drudgery-esque. It isn't helping me look forward to the editing I promised myself I'd finish on the sequel to The Silent World by the end of this month. So yeah. I've already started it and it's honestly made me feel so much better about everything. I'd been feeling like I was doubly doing nothing/being lazy and also walking along the edge in so many different parts of my life, and that mix which seems to run into me pretty consistently just kills me. But I've been putting this editing off for too long, and tackling it really helps. Plus, as hard as it is to re-realize how much my work sucks, it's all for the best in the end, and the hard work pays off, and I feel better about myself and my work. I can't really say how refreshing it is, and I will stick with it!

    I still want to write that Merlin essay on the Four Loves. I just really like how Merlin's humility is played out; humility is often really underrated in modern society. People are expected to want to be in the highest positions and lead and all that....if they don't want that, then they aren't competitive and it's nearly a form of weakness. But just all the different forms of love expressed too.....I don't know. It's probably why the slasher fanbase for this show annoys me way more than pretty much any other story's fandom I like. It's just....naw man, naw. It takes away so much.


    Anyways, there's several pictures I want to take stabs at this summer. One is a chibi collection of all my major couples, from those who have cutsey-wutsey requited love to those who are just complicated and weird.
    But one thing I've realized really recently because of lots of things is that I do like writing dark stuff, I really do; I love psychology. But I'm too inexperienced for some things, and I wind up missing other aspects that I don't want to lose. Like the fun 80s goofiness of Deval's story, especially. That's engrained as part of the story now, and I don't want to miss out on it!
    ...I probably just need to write in Amitai's POV more :laughing:
    But I notice that while I guess my more calculating side as a writer tends to veer towards dark stuff, I naturally try to blend comically silly and absurd with the dark stuff. Which is more fun in the end, I think.

    A good example would be the romance in my story with Stella, my only female character. I've been very calculated with her: who she knows, what her relationships are, nothing was really spontaneous. But then I played more with the idea of her attending a ball and sorta falling for a strange guy who sorta falls for her back and they flirt loads in a very Regency-era with a lot of sarcasm kind of way and with dancing like swing-dancing, and before I knew it she was in a short-term romance with a terribly feared villain, and she's probably the only lady he's ever respected in a long time, even if he winds up hating her (for reasons unrelated to their romance.) And then when I realized that their theme song was the chorus of: [link] it was just hilarious. Their whole sorta relationship is very amazing for them as their type of characters, and important in the big scheme of things in different ways and there's lots of wonderful, deep, complex reasons about it and how it goes, but....seeing it mixed with that 80s pop-ness just sort of put it's whole spontaneity in perspective.

    I kind of guess I as a writer have the best of both worlds in that I can do pretty neat things both spontaneously and calculating....but if I forget one or the other, it goes all out of balance, not just for the stories but for me personally. I guess that just shows how much they mean to me, they and how I handle and write them really does affect me more than I could really say. And I don't want to leave out the absurd strange and sometimes scary goofiness that is in life in either them or myself.

    I guess this just means that I'll be an ABBA fan forever :laughing: Not that that's a huge surprise!

    And in regards to that, I don't want to leave that out of my Zelda fan fiction too, even though it's an apocalyptic and therefore a type of tragedy by default. I can already see a lot of places (often literal places) in the story that will help provide this, but especially just the interaction between Link and Zelda. Even whenever their relationship is more serious in lots of different ways, there's still a lot of potential for it to be fun. In other words, I don't just want to write something with good quality and a deeper, often tragic meaning, I want it to be fun, too. Kind of like listening to any of the songs clearly related to divorce by ABBA. Yep.

    I outta make a list sometime for myself, from their stuff. Yes.
    Here we go!

    -Take up to eight OCs as they come to mind
    -Have them answer the questions.
    -Honestly!
    -I tag YOU!

    My OCs:
    -Bryann
    -Deval
    -Stella
    -Klaus
    -Altaira
    -Kaji
    -Sachiko


    First off, describe your clothing style in one word.
    Bryann: Very very very cute.
    Deval: One word, Bryann.
    Bryann: CUTE!
    Deval: Classy.
    Bryann: Old-man.
    Deval: Is not!
    Stella: Green.
    Klaus: Classy.
    Altaira: Freaky.
    Deval: Agreed.
    Altaira: Naaaah, you two are! :XD: Anyways, mine is....adorable. Which is more cute than cute.
    Bryann: Humph.
    Kaji: Comfortable :D
    Sachiko: Practical.

    Do you use any makeup?
    Bryann: Eyeshadow, blush, liner, gloss, lipstick, foundation, etc, but tastefully, I'm not like those weirdo girls in the 2-A class that put it on like dirt!
    Deval: .......No.
    Stella: Not too often. I usually spend all my time on my hair and junk. I don't really like makeup much.
    Klaus: Gee I dunno~~~
    Altaira: Die. And I use whatever makeup I like, which is usually everything! I love lots of eyeshadow :love:
    Kaji: That's for girls!
    Sachiko: That's for rich girls.

    What's your best feature?
    Bryann: ....I'd tell you, but my brother is here. Do you have any idea how awkward that is?
    Deval: Why would you even think about something like that, anyways? It's something dirty, isn't it? How has your boyfriend been doing lately? You WERE sleeping over at Carissa's house the other night, not HIS, right?
    Bryann: OH MY GOSH REALLY.
    Deval: Is that a yes?
    Bryann: No!
    Stella: Mah hips and lips! :D
    Klaus: I'm partial to my eyes, but I've been told I have a very nice mouth. And butt.
    Altaira: Too much information, sicko.
    Klaus: You're one to talk.
    Altaira: Yeeeah, I guess. But my best feature is....absolutely everything! :la:
    Kaji: My hair is nice.
    Sachiko: Momiji likes my eyes a lot...

    So is there anything you'd change about your body?
    Bryann: Again, the older brother is here....
    Deval: What's that supposed to mean? Are you thinking of getting plastic surgery? You know that's not a good solution and it isn't satisfying in the long-term and you'll just want more and more and before you know it you'll be broke and you'll have a hard time getting married.
    Bryann: I didn't want any of this! Someone get me out of this meme!
    Stella: My hair, I can't stand it! I wish it was naturally straight!
    Klaus: I've already done things like that.
    Altaira: I'd get my wings back, b*tch.
    Klaus: I don't think you like me much.
    Altaira: Noooooo :evillaugh:
    Kaji: No, nothing....I'm good...
    Sachiko: I could use a few more pounds...

    Ever had problems with your looks?
    Bryann: Every day!
    Deval: Only when it's caused by someone else.
    Stella: My hair, every day :no:
    Klaus: Oh, I don't think so.
    Altaira: Hmmmm, there was the time where my hair caught on fire. All of it. It turned out alright in the end though.
    Kaji: .......I'd rather not talk about it.
    Sachiko: Is this about the time where those mobsters shaved your head?
    Kaji: I'd rather not talk about it!
    Sachiko: Sure. And not really. I'm kinda like...too thin though. Not good for getting married.

    Ever exploited them?
    Bryann: .....
    Deval: Have you?
    Bryann: It's a rough world, Deval!
    Deval: What? But, how, you..... :faint:
    Bryann: Oh my gosh! What are you even thinking of?!
    Stella: Eh, a girl has to use her feminine charms every now and then....and it usually worked until I do something like swear or burp or something that's not very girly. I'm better with all that now though.
    Klaus: :laughing:
    Altaira: Yes, why not?
    Kaji: What? No. No no no no. No way.
    Sachiko: No. I've been told many times I'm not really pretty.

    Okay, so you're wearing a T-shirt, what's on it?
    Bryann: Probably a sweet, bright, spunky pattern.
    Deval: Depends. It'll probably be blank though.
    Stella: I like the idea of one with a sunflower on it. Can we do that?
    Klaus: Probably some line that looks stupid and just a little funny at first, but then you realize later it's actually hilarious and wind up bursting out laughing during some super important work meeting and therefore blow it.
    Stella: How specific.
    Klaus: It's awesome.
    Altaira: Polka dots~
    Kaji: Oh I don't know. Maybe just....white?
    Sachiko: Ehhhh nothing tacky. Maybe just a very subtle pattern.

    (Extension)

    How old are you?
    Bryann: I'm 18.
    Deval: You're 16, Bryann.
    Bryan: Ssssh!
    Deval: .... >_>
    Stella: I don't remember. I think it was 21?
    Klaus: I can't remember eitherrrr~
    Stella: Sure you don't, with your mind?
    Klaus: If you don't remember yours, I sure think I can be excused for not remembering mine.
    Stella: So compared to mine, then?
    Klaus: That and your age.
    Stella: Alrighty, old guy. Would you like to help me find out, or do you want to wallow in your dementia?
    Klaus: I've tried that. It didn't go anywhere.
    Stella: Like with a grandparent, seeing them?
    Klaus: Sure, we can say that.
    Stella: ....
    Altaira: I dunno. I don't care.
    Bryann: What's wrong with you?
    Altaira: HIM!
    Bryann: Hmmmmm.....why, you jealous she's flirting with him?
    Altaira: :chainsaw:
    Bryann: :sprint:
    Kaji: I think it's eighteen now.
    Sachiko: A lady doesn't give her age, even a poor one...

    What is your earliest memory?
    Bryann: Being with Deval in the labs.
    Deval: About the same.
    Stella: Hmmm....probably the time I went climbing all on my own and nearly died.
    Klaus: And how old was this?
    Stella: Three years old.
    Klaus: Always the adventurous one, hm? Certainly apparent from other sides of you.
    Stella: Be sure to stay on my good side.
    Klaus: As for my earliest memory....probably hiking through the snow to school.
    Stella: Uphill both ways?
    Klaus: Actually it was downhill. My hometown was so weird.
    Altaira: Ehhh I don't know. This is dull.
    Kaji: Oh! Oh...ooooooooh :cries:
    Sachiko: Moving on.....my earliest would be moving in with my grandmother for a few months. I was so sad seeing my parents leave.

    What do you consider the most important event of your life so far?
    Bryann: Going to this high school!
    Deval: Um, getting a stable position in life. Yeah.
    Altaira: SURE it is.... :giggle:
    Deval: Shut up.
    Stella: Leaving the army and then meeting Micael :)
    Klaus: It was so important and amazing I can't even start to tell you how important it was in my life as it stands now.
    Altaira: Having my wings ripped out!
    Klaus: Will you ever let that go, or will you just stew in your own bitterness your entire life?
    Altaira: DIE :chainsaw:
    Kaji: Getting out of this meme would be pretty awesome right about now.
    Sachiko: Meeting Momiji :aww:

    When and with whom was your first kiss?
    Bryann: ..........Um. I haven't had my first kiss yet.
    Deval: You haven't?
    Bryann: ...Nope.
    Deval: Oh, that's good. Kids your age should wait for that sort of stuff, too.
    Bryann: Yeaaah. Yeah, we should. Yep. Agreed.
    Stella: He's going to catch on sometime, kid.
    Bryann: Ssh!
    Stella: Anyways, mine was......uh. I'd rather not talk about it. I'm not really that proud of it. I was trying out things like how teens try drugs.
    Deval: Stay away from Bryann.
    Stella: You don't even know what I'm talking about!
    Deval: If it's comparable to drugs then I don't have to know what it is to know that I don't want your bad influence!
    Stella: Augh! It was just a comparison in experimental levels! Everything else was totally different!
    Deval: This makes no sense!
    Stella: That makes two of us!
    Bryann: .....So I get no say in this, right?
    Klaus: I don't remember :D
    Altaira: Same here. I wish it was with Ammy :(
    Deval: :iconnotimpressedplz:
    Altaira: :evillaugh:
    Kaji: Eh. I haven't really had that yet, really.
    Sachiko: N-none of your business! Who do you think I am?!

    Do you love anyone? If so, how would you confess it to them, if you haven't done so already?
    Bryann: I.....do, yeah, okay, I do! I really do think I love several guys! And there are loads of different ways to confess!
    Deval: Like what exactly?
    Bryann: Stay out of my life!
    Deval: Never. And uh...I don't think I'd confess my love yet. I'm too busy with stuff.
    Bryann: Like hounding and torturing your sister?!
    Deval: Your words, not mine.
    Stella: A guy confesses first, thanks.
    Klaus: I absolutely agree. Would you like to complain about it together?
    Stella: Aw sure why not?
    Altaira: Oh, I love Amitai! And as for confessing love....I'll wait for him to say something :giggle:
    Kaji: Eeeeeh, I guess I kind of do, but it's a little different.....hard to describe ^^;
    Sachiko: I'm already in a relationship with the man I love. So there.

    What are your views on sex?
    Bryann: Eh I don't know anymore. Whatever Deval's views are.
    Deval: I think we need to go and have a chat, Bryann.
    Bryann: Auugh no! I was just kidding! I don't need another version of "the talk"! Give me a break!
    Stella: It's way more profound and meaningful than most people give credit. It's not a light thing....I think it's best for marriage in that way.
    Klaus: I have many different views on it. We'll see what happens.
    Altaira: It's just a thing we do, there's nothing to it really! It's obsessive and all weird and Deval-picky-prude-ish to say otherwise!
    Kaji: Oh, I agree with the monks on this. Definitely :nod:
    Sachiko: It's meant for marriage. I didn't really used to think so, but after meeting Momiji and just....what he's done and all, I think this is the best for us, particularly.

    In your opinion, what is the most evil thing someone could do?
    Bryann: Wear purple and yellow together, with GREEN. Good gods!
    Deval: ...It must be nice to be young.
    Stella: Child abuse in any form! I know everyone thinks you'll say it and all that, but it's true!
    Klaus: White-walled tires. That's all.
    Altaira: Put grape juice with vodka. It's a good poison!
    Kaji: Hurting anyone in my city in any way!
    Sachiko: I don't like to just throw around these sorts of things....



    :la:
