Go on, you know you want to. Brag to us about your latest progress in your writing, planning, or development. Or, if you don't have anything to brag about, congratulate someone who does.
Oh, and take your hat off before you come in. You never know when your head might get a little bigger.
(Feel free to brag more than once--writing is an ongoing process, after all!)

Well, I finally found a new name for Leste. Something you can actually pronounce and find in a name book. Landon. I guess that's worth bragging about.
Incidentally, there's a monster-ally named Leste on my friend Paul's Tales of Symphonia II game. I'm sure it was randomly generated, but it still made me do a double-take and then burst out laughing.

Landon. I like it. biggrin Congrats!
Last night I... rewrote my outline for my fantasy story again. I found out Mirabel is a real b***h when Evander first runs across her, but she gets better. This is great because I've had no idea what she's like AT ALL up until now. I've also come to the conclusion that Malcolm and Evander aren't even very good friends. They come from completely different social circles and Malcolm is sort of uppity. Evander is too, to a certain extent, but they're uppity about opposing things. Also: I think Evander's going to have his throat slit. Somehow he's losing his voice by the end. Not exactly sure why that's important other than torturing him needlessly, but hey, I figure I don't torture him enough anyway. xd

@ Irian: You might want to consult Erika on the whole throat-slitting thing--I seem to recall her researching something about that a while back for one of her characters. 3nodding
Also, thanks. I'm glad you like it. It was either Landon or Leigh, and I liked the multi-syllabic rhythm better. (I'm patching up plotholes caused by fixing Chapter Two right now--I'm kind of embarrassed that I left them be for so long.)

I write so slowly that my miniMarwrimo has taken me more than 2 years to get past Chapter three, and I don't honestly know if I'll ever finish the story even though I want to... cry
But in other, non-writing-related bragging, Charlie is, in fact, evidently too sexy for his shirt. And his pants. More on this as it develops.

Dave has just had his creator-mandated Crowning Moment of Awesome in the long RP.
Basically he just described to a group of rather brutal criminals how he was going to kill them, in a completely even voice, in such a way that made him appear far more scary and insane than said criminals.
And now I've fallen in love with Dave again. He was starting to bore me.

"Wrong. Your ears you keep and I'll tell you why. So that every shriek of every child at seeing your hideousness will be yours to cherish. Every babe that weeps at your approach, everyone woman that cries out 'dear God, what is that thing?' will echo in your perfect ears. That is what the pain means. It means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery forever."
I am so going to watch that movie now.

That was almost as satisfying as earworming someone. xd
I ought to watch that movie sometime. And all those other DVDs I got for my birthday and didn't watch because of England.
Oh, um, I suppose I ought to brag to make this post valid. I, er, picked a friend's brain to come up with the meaning of the Scilonian year tag, "A.S." He hasn't gotten back to me on the tense and case of the Latin words yet, but it stands for "years standing," marking from the fall of Vestigia.
It also adds a little irony because Scilone isn't standing anymore. xp

Okay, so I totally just ended a scene with, "He didn't even realize he was dreaming until someone stuck their fingers in his mouth."
Yinda's checking to see if Vitae has vampire fangs. 3nodding

The biggest thing I remember from my throat-slitting research was the realization as to how difficult it would be. It always seemed like an easy way to kill, for me, because you just sneak up behind the person and shlick! they're dead. But that's a lot of stuff to forcefully cut through.
And, uhh, I'm not sure I have anything I want to brag about, although I did figure out an idea for the magic system in my story, which has always been sort of vague and There and now has something like a purpose.

@ Kita: As hilarious as this? I just went through another editcopy of MOSI chapters 1-4, which took the better part of a day (but would have gone faster if people hadn't been so damnably loud at he cafe). I'm also starting to chip away at the problem of how to give Sabine's half of the story an appropriate amount of closure--I know, in theory, what I need to do, but not how to do it. I also found a way to salvage a really fanservice-y scene from the first draft and turn it into something with a point, so yay. But I still haven't finished Chapter Five.
