Damn real life. Keeps getting in the way of the important stuff! *shakes fist*

As for stuff for the website--actually, I was thinking of tweaking the story of Suicide's recruitment. I wrote it as an exercise a while back, and I'm not happy now with the timeline it sets up. I'm reluctant to retcon it entirely, but I think I need to mess with it a little. Can we consider that one semi-non-canon for now?

I can write you an introductory blurb, no problem. :)

And yessss, the badfic game. Maybe I need to get my head back in the game with a little Dio and Su torture . . . where would a fanbrat think they went to after they disappeared from Subjugations, anyway?

Old-time PPCer slinking back in . . . by Tungsten_Monk on 2010-07-14 05:26:00 UTC Reply

. . . to say, My God do I miss you guys. :D

Hi, y'all. *waves* I was a PPCer back in the day--back when GreyLadyBast's temple wasn't yet empty and the last of the original duo's missions were being posted. I ran agents Diocletian and Suicide, adopted the Celebrian-traumatized Elf Ithalond and his wife Mithiriel, and in general screwed around like a doofus.

I made the decision a couple of years ago to stop writing PPCs because my original stuff was being tempted with a publishing deal. That took a while to happen, but my book officially comes out on the fifteenth, and I've been celebrating by doing some evil plotting with Neshomeh.

Anyway--long mememe post story short--I hope to be back for a while (if the Flowers don't have the security dandelions chase me off with sticks). I'm going to be lurking for a while on the board, and I'm thrilled to see that the PPC badfic contest is still being done. :)

So . . . er . . . don't kill me?

So . . . by Agent Twain on 2010-07-16 02:08:00 UTC Reply

Do we get to know what your book is? So we can read it?

Oh, I mean, er. Welcome back! Long time no see. :) Have a cookie.

If you want. :D by Tungsten_Monk on 2010-07-16 17:01:00 UTC Reply

I posted the info in a reply a little further down the thread---Addendum: the book. In short, though, the title is "Thief of Midnight" and it's urban fantasy with a bit of horror flavoring. Definitely some PPC influence, too; I can't seem to get over my love of monster hunters who drink heavily on the job. :D

Have a PPC-themed calender to remind yourself that you've been away for a long time.

A book? Awesome! I want to do that, too. Did getting it published really take up so much of your time that you couldn't write other things?
It looks really cool. I think I'll ask my library to get it, since I'm a poor college student.

Re: Welcome back from a newbie! by Tungsten_Monk on 2010-07-15 21:03:00 UTC Reply

Thank you!

Getting it published was a saga in and of itself, yeah. I spent one year actually writing it, and three years crawling my way through process of agents-editors-agents-editors-publishing house-query-rejection-oh god kill me now. You can usually still write during that time, though, if you don't mind having all your villains turn out to be employed at major publishing houses. :D

Also known as: pretentious subject lines, a how-to guide.

I didn't say anything at first because I was thinking, "Well, I don't remember this person, so I feel weird saying 'welcome back'," only then I was thinking about it and your name sounded familiar and I realized there was a you-character in OFU Redwall, so I can pretend I do remember you and say welcome back.

Also known as: I am really awkward with meeting people.

Also, you have a book! Exciting! It is on my list of things to look for when next I am in a bookstore. Books are cool!

And thank you. Nice to meet you! I'm happy to be back, but I'm sure as hell no Jay or Acacia, and I honestly didn't expect many people to even remember me. I'd rather have an honest welcome than a faux welcome-back any day. :)

Hello. by Wide Eyed Idealist on 2010-07-15 02:56:00 UTC Reply

How much has the PPC changed, do you think? (I'm very junior, only been here a few months. In fact, if this weren't the PPC I probably wouldn't be allowed to be speaking with you.)

Also, congratulations on the book! Can I ask what it's about? And what's it called?

Hasn't changed that much. by Tungsten_Monk on 2010-07-15 05:38:00 UTC Reply

Not from what I can see so far. The yearly badfic-writing session, pelting new arrivals with tenuously-useful objects--I'm not seeing many differences so far. The only real one is that I'm an oldbie and I don't know many of y'all, which is a bit weird. Hey, you kids! Get off my lawn!

Thank you. :) The book is called "Thief of Midnight." It's urban fantasy, though it tends towards horror in some places, and set in Chicago.

But it's such a nice lawn! by Wide Eyed Idealist on 2010-07-15 21:58:00 UTC Reply

Horror? Eep! Is it more "horrible nasty creatures with maggots crawling out of their eyeballs" or "horrible unseen menace that could be anywhere around you"? (I was all set to go read it as soon as it came out, but if it's the second I don't think I can handle it.)

The urban fantasy thing is cool, though. I was actually just writing something on LiveJournal about urban fantasy. It was more about the romantic subgenre, which I doubt is the case, but I'm still curious about whether you've got any tips before I post it.

Re: But it's such a nice lawn! by Tungsten_Monk on 2010-07-15 22:06:00 UTC Reply

Don't worry, I think it falls on the action-adventure side of horror. It's been reviewed as horror because it contains bogeymen--who are traditionally monsters that do creepy-ass stuff like snatching children. Also, someone gets chomped in the face by a woman without a face. A friend tells me that face-eating is very horroresque.

I wrote it as urban fantasy, though, so I don't think you should have any reason to be scared. I'm no good at "horrible unseen menace behind you right now"; I'm afraid all my time with the PPC has conditioned me towards the kind of creeping horrors that can be blown up. :D

And I don't write much romantic urban fantasy, but I sure read it. (A friend of mine just turned me on to Kelly Armstrong.) I don't know what you mean by tips--about writing urban fantasy, or writing the essay, or what? It sounds interesting. :)

Re: But it's such a nice lawn! by Wide Eyed Idealist on 2010-07-17 03:36:00 UTC Reply

As long as it's not going to leave me scared to close my eyes in case something teleports into the corner while I'm not looking, I'm interested. Gore is easy.

As for the essay, it's basically a list of rules I think all the Twilight knockoffs should follow in the hope that they would then suck less. I was wondering if you could think of anything that should go on the list. I've got stuff like no changelings, tell us how the protagonist lived before Mr. Supernatural Hottie came into her life, diversify the mythology, ~~extract Mr. Supernatural Hottie's head from his ass~~ don't make the male protagonist a haughty, cold, handsome man who is defrosted by the heroine... stuff like that.

Hmmm. by Tungsten_Monk on 2010-07-17 07:10:00 UTC Reply

Well, my one cardinal rule for romance is that the characters should exist outside the relationship. I find it's a good exercise (in my admittedly limited experience) to write short scenes, totally separate from the romance itself, focusing on the hero and heroine each alone. Just hero or heroine, no other half, maybe not even any of the supporting cast. It helps to develop their characters. They need to be individuals who fall in love. Two halves of one soul sounds romantic, and it may work in a fantasy context, but it can get really creepy really quickly if the writer doesn't know exactly what they're doing.

And this may be a stylistic choice, but I think first-time writers should probably avoid first-person POV. It just makes it way too easy to turn the romance into a whiny monologue. Third-person singular gives you all the strength of a viewpoint, including the emotional connection, but prevents chronic Twilitis. (Inflammation of the thesaurus. :D)

I'm confused. by Eclectus on 2010-07-14 21:26:00 UTC Reply

Celebrian or C*l*br**n?

I'm trying to distinguish between the badfic and the character. Although, I suppose any fic in which Celebrian traumatizes anyone is a badfic by definition... Although probably not as bad as the Legendary Badfic by that name.

I'm rambling, pardon me.

Welcome back! :D

The book is "Thief of Midnight", and it's urban fantasy/horror set in Chicago. It carries some holdover influences from my PPC days--mainly 1) the sarcasm and 2) the monster hunters drinking on the job. I can't promise it's good, but at least the press is small enough that I doubt anyone who reads it will be writing Sues for it. (Thank you, God.)

One year to get it written, three years to fight tooth and nail with publishers, editors, and the insidious Things that Must Not be Named which lurk in the depths of the industry (also known as agents).

I think I joined just before you left, because I faintly recall a discussion about something along those lines. Anyway, nice to see you again, even if you probably don't remember me.

Congratulations on your book :)

Thanks. :) (nm) by Tungsten_Monk on 2010-07-14 14:23:00 UTC Reply
