      No need to be hard on yourself. I’m not the one who only just completed her exams. πŸ˜› (Though I’ve been waiting to find out what Chara has been up to…)

      For lack of a better description, yes, my WIP is a romance parody.

        @valtmy *chuckles nervously* um, yeah.Β  She actually hasn’t been up to much.Β  That’s the problem. πŸ˜›Β  But I’ll work on it. πŸ˜€

        Okay, that’s what I thought.Β  Now, follow up question: What’s your definition of parody?Β  Not the dictionary definition, but what do you think when you hear the word “parody?”

          I would say that a parody is a work that pokes fun at another work or a certain genre of works. For example, so far in my WIP every single one of the drama performances is based on a real life show. πŸ˜›

          Maybe I should stop calling it a romance parody but a things-I-have-watched parody.

                  Actually, I changed my mind and I’ll be here until my lunch cooks πŸ˜€ How’s the western going?

                    @seekjustice πŸ˜€

                    Um, it’s going…better?Β  I think? πŸ˜›Β  Still slow, but I am back in the storyline.Β  I mean, I’ve gotten my head back into the story, where it was out since I’d been not writing for a while.Β  So that’s good.

                    I’m actually going to step out for about half an hour, so maybe you can eat lunch and then we’ll get back in a bit?

                      Great work! How’s Camp going for you??

                        @seekjustice Aaand, that took longer than I expected.Β  But I’m back now!Β  How about you?Β  Finish your lunch?

                        I haven’t done enough to really say Camp is going well, but I think I’ll be rolling in the next few days. πŸ™‚

                        How about you?Β  How is your editing going?Β  And are you doing any more fanfics? (which shouldn’t actually be called fanfics because you are the true author but there’s nothing else to call them…) πŸ˜›

                          @rochellaine

                          Yep, I’m editing now πŸ˜€

                          I’ve only got an hour and a half so far (I tried to lower my goal but it wouldn’t let me for some reason???) but hopefully I’ll get some time tonight after I’ve done school, editing and first aid.

                          My editing is going slower than is normal, but I think I’m dragging my heels because I have less than 10k before I get to Sapphire’s death. And that made me emotional enough the first time. I don’t know if it’ll be better or worse this time.

                          Yes, I think I’m planning two more!

                            @seekjustice Hm, I guess they don’t want people cheating if they get near the end and see that they can’t make their goals.

                            Ah, I see. πŸ˜›

                            Great!! I can’t wait to read them.Β  I have one more planned right now, but don’t know when I’ll get around to writing it. πŸ˜‰Β  Maybe sometime when I need a break from my western.

                              Until a certain point you can change your goals…I think the cut off date is the 19th or something. But I think the website was just glitching, because websites do that occasionally πŸ˜›

                              I’m hoping to write one tomorrow πŸ˜€ For now, its buckling into the editing…remember though how you pointed out that Chessy and Justice were “unequally yoked”? That’s the conversation I’m trying to put in now without making it too preachy 😐

                                I was just reading over the Stars Fill Infinity thread and I found my first mention of the sequel I was planning and I said that only one main character died. And you said:

                                @seekjusticeΒ β€œOnly One main character dies!”  I might be able to handle that.

                                Except that you didn’t πŸ˜›

                                  And I just then got an email saying “SeekJustice has tagged you in a status update”, so well done for tagging myself πŸ˜›
