No need to be hard on yourself. I’m not the one who only just completed her exams. π (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.
July 3, 2018 at 3:32 am #74702@valtmy *chuckles nervously* um, yeah.Β She actually hasn’t been up to much.Β That’s the problem. πΒ But I’ll work on it. π
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?”

July 3, 2018 at 5:55 am #74703I 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. π
Maybe I should stop calling it a romance parody but a things-I-have-watched parody.
July 3, 2018 at 11:26 pm #74709@seekjustice Are you around?Β I’m going to try to make some progress on my western. π

July 3, 2018 at 11:41 pm #74710I mean just going for lunch, but I’ll be around in about 20min.

July 3, 2018 at 11:43 pm #74711@seekjustice Ok, just tag me when you get back.

July 3, 2018 at 11:57 pm #74712Actually, I changed my mind and I’ll be here until my lunch cooks π How’s the western going?

Um, it’s going…better?Β I think? πΒ 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?

July 4, 2018 at 12:06 am #74714Great work! How’s Camp going for you??
Sure, that sounds fine π

July 4, 2018 at 12:56 am #74715@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. π
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…) π
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
July 4, 2018 at 12:59 am #74716Yep, I’m editing now π
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!

July 4, 2018 at 1:21 am #74717@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. π
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. πΒ Maybe sometime when I need a break from my western.
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
July 4, 2018 at 1:26 am #74718Until 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 π
I’m hoping to write one tomorrow π 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 π

July 4, 2018 at 1:37 am #74719I 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 βOnly One main character dies!βΒ I might be able to handle that.
Except that you didn’t π

July 4, 2018 at 1:38 am #74720And I just then got an email saying “SeekJustice has tagged you in a status update”, so well done for tagging myself π
