First one:
The Russic invasion is going to be a MASSIVE thing. Which means, it has to be saved for a while. I threw it in now so that people would know about it, but there is plenty that must happen beforehand. Among other things, the various kingdoms need to get together.
The invasion itself will have to be huge. All the kingdoms will be working together against the Russ, and there will have to be MANY large battles. This is something too big to be done quickly and lightly. A few kingdoms - quite possibly even Arconia - will be defeated (temporarily) before it is over.
While this is all going on, there will be plenty of opportunities for side plots. There will be the various battles themselves, spy runs, assasinations, intrigue between the allied kingdoms, etc. Don't worry about plot material!

Good idea.. I wouldn't like to think of the half-a-rainforest with scribbles all over that are littering desks worldwide! I am the Munqi and I come in peace.

Me no slam anybody!
Me just saying that I think this thread is a good idea... Like my desk used to be littered with little scraps of paper, with notes and scribbles all over them about ideas for plot lines and character profiles etc.
lol Unfortunately, I've had to justify myself twice tonight, and both times due to simple misunderstanding. I don't slam writers. I know that for instance Moon is a professional author, and I totally respect her for that.
Byebye. I am the Munqi and I come in peace.

My last two posts on The Bitter End take place on the afternoon/evening after Willow's wedding.
I am currently getting a section with Zelda and Nękos typed. When I do, I will post it, probably in "Night of the New Moon". It will take place that same evening. This puts a longer delay in when the trio got back from Nova Zemblar - essentially setting back the time of The Homecoming. This is good because now we don't have to crunch up the time of the trip back; it can take the requisite several days. It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press.

Ahright: The board has been slowing up a lot, so let me add a few things here.
First off, I've been supremely busy, but I always manage to procrastinate and write a page or so in school. It's all dammed up in my notebook, though, just waiting to get finished, typed, and posted. When it does, it's going to be a LOT.
A quick rundown: Nękos will go in the late afternoon of the day we're currently on to the tournament grounds to get registered.
That same evening (after dark), Senyik, Larya, and Evan will be leaving the castle after their conference with Zelda. The next morning Senyik will be heading to the smith's to start work, and will literally run into Nękos. Senyik will also register for the tournament. I'm not sure what, if anything, Larya and Evan will be doing.
HELP WANTED: Insane author, willing to 'work' (I wouldn't really call it that) completely random hours, meshing characters and plotlines with one (or hopefully more) of my four. Must be...well, I actually don't really care. I just want somebody to write with, to take some of the plotting, etc. off my shoulders. Also to add some spice to the storylines.
Any takers? It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech.

Ok, call me crazy, but I was actually thinking about this (since, of course, it will have to be dealt with in the hopefully near future).
Ken-Dall, the evil twin of Lady Moon, apparently has the interest of a certain competitor at the Arconian Open. It is possible that this relationship turn into something, showing a new side to the resident "bad girl."
That said, when her sister returns for the confrontation (yeah, I know...I'd better make it good), there will be some high emotions.
Knowing Lady Moon's trouble with men, it's possible for the first time in the girls' life that MOON is jealous of Ken-Dall.
I feel like a schizophrenic or something...Is it possible to be jealous of oneself? This is going to be wild, if I can pull it off (Tellurine, I'm going to need you!)  "Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind."

This is sounding good! I say, full speed ahead! Speaking of when Moonitic gets home: When ARE YOU GUYS GETTING BACK?? You've been on this journey home for longer than you've been questing for the king! Does anybody else want to just say "the hell with it" and get them home?

Should anyone want to read it, the first 11 pages of the novel have been saved into ye olde computer, & are available via email. It's a rough, rough draft, but you'll be able to see the start of where things are going.
It's not going to be as hilariously funny as the original story, but I hope it will at least be entertaining. I'm planning on doing more than one book out of this, too.

Okay here's the whole soap opera thing from Darion's POV: He didn't want to believe all the stuff Lord Tellurine told him and wasn't going to act on it...but then he saw the two sitting across eachother at the banquet. All his resolve went out the window and he just wanted to figure out what was going on. So he asked her point blank about it and suprisingly got an answer and she didn't avoid the question.
She went back to the banquet and left him to think about what she said. Now he's a little worried about her, because if what she said is true then she's in real danger.
That's Darion's take on the whole thing. Anyway, Swordsman I like that idea alot. Darion would probably fight harder for Arconia to keep it from ended up like his conquered Bosconia. "We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain because you are slow to understand." Hebrews 5:11

*Darion uses his deep TV commercial voice*
Will Darion discover the true identity of Ken-Dall? How will the real Lady Moon react to her sister impersonating her? Will Arcon return soon? Tune in for the next episode of All My Arconians.....
Note: I'm gonna be gone for the next week, no computer access  . Later all!
