@seekjustice It’s your birthday?!!ย Happy birthday!!!!ย You’re turning eighteen, right?
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
September 5, 2018 at 11:42 pm #76491Thank you! I am indeed. And guess what? My mum managed to track down a copy of the 1958 version of A Tale of Two Cities, which I hadn’t been able to find anywhere. I was pretty excited about that.

Glad you found it. ๐IMMA KAPEEFER! Til we're old and gray!
September 5, 2018 at 11:46 pm #76493@seekjustice Wow, that’s cool!!ย You’ve seen a bit of it on YouTube, right? (I think you said you skipped to the end.)ย The guy who plays Sydney Carton (Dirk Bogarde) is one of my favorite actors.
So you have it on DVD now?

September 5, 2018 at 11:52 pm #76494I think I ended up watching all of it, but over several weeks and not in chronological order ๐ I know, we’ve discussed Dirk Bogarde before ๐
Yep, I look forward to watching it properly.

September 5, 2018 at 11:57 pm #76496@seekjustice I see. ๐
Ah yes, I remember. ๐
Are you on now, or still celebrating your birthday?ย (It’s technically “afternoon” for you, right?ย But you didn’t say you would be on, only that you’d possibly be on.)

September 6, 2018 at 12:02 am #76497It’s two o’clock, so I guess it is afternoon. And yep, I’m free for a bit. How are you? How’s Bathshua going?

September 6, 2018 at 12:09 am #76498Bathshua is doing okay, the darling.ย I got some good planning in over the past couple of days, and now have a clearer picture of how to get her where she needs to be.ย But in order for that to happen she’s going to have to go through a lot. ๐
Right now I’m working on a secret writing project, but I’ll get back to Daughter of Judas in a bit.
What are you working on today?ย (I can say “today” because it is past 12:00 and officially September 6, so we’re on the same day at this moment. ๐ )

September 6, 2018 at 12:14 am #76499Poor Bathshua. She doesn’t deserve any of the things you throw at her (ah, look at me. Such a hypocrite!)
I’m currently reading over a really long and old character sheet I filled out for a character so completely perfect that I cringe now. I’m supposed to be taking the questions and filling out the sheet for another character though.

September 6, 2018 at 12:25 am #76500Haha!ย At least we know she’ll survive, right? ๐
A character so completely perfect that I cringe now.
…in other words, Quillon? ๐ ๐

September 6, 2018 at 12:29 am #76501Unless you become ruthless. Like me ๐
Haha no. But he might as well be, down to the fact that he’s Irish and has an accent. But he’s a character from a very old book of mine (and don’t even bother asking to read it, because. Nope. No chance. No one is ever reading that thing).

September 6, 2018 at 12:47 am #76502Not a chance!! ๐ฎย I shall protect my characters! (but if the mean characters hurt them, that’s not necessarily my fault. ๐ )
๐ Ah, don’t worry.ย I completely understand! ๐ย I used to be extremely melodramatic in my writing, so a lot of my old bits contain characters who gasp and shriek or sob every few sentences.ย It’s actually pretty funny, though of course I didn’t intend it to be funny when I wrote them.

September 6, 2018 at 12:51 am #76503People don’t actually expect us to takeย responsibilityย for our bad characters, do they?
Well, of course Curt did none of those things. Because he was a small angel. He definitely fell into the disabled angelic character trope that I see so many people complaining about ๐

September 6, 2018 at 1:10 am #76504Oh no, they can’t! ๐
Of course he didn’t.ย Sweet little Curt.ย Poor little Curt. ๐
Have you ever been on the TV Tropes website?ย It’s hilarious.
