Oct. 25th, 2008 01:21 amI see this is the chapter with the Peter/Susan subtext. *bemused* Oh, Peter. Oh, Susan. Why does everyone break my heart?

Oct. 25th, 2008 04:05 pmI have not written Peter POV for some time, and I forgot how much easier it is to write Peter than it is to write anybody else, if only because Peter doesn't, a, notice EVERYTHING, or, b, overanalyze like some people do. (EDMUND PEVENSIE I'M LOOKING AT YOU. ALSO SUSAN AND TIRIAN. AND CASPIAN.)
And, of course, I suppose I know Peter best, so there is that. And I just wrote seven hundred words of fight scene; I like those. I'm one of the few writers I know who likes writing fight scenes, but whatever. Except there's a possibility I get too bogged down by details; perhaps I should have Peter get distracted by someone else trying to kill him in the middle of his fight when he's had his sword knocked out of his hand and is trying to kill a flail-wielding centaur with a succession of knives that aren't making a dent on the centaur at all. Oh, yes, and he's on horseback too.
Hi, my name is Bedlam, and I like my Pevensies homicidal, wounded, bloody, and deadly.
Hmm, on a non-related note (although I suppose it's related in that I am trying to find a way to somehow get Caspian around just to bitchslap Tirian, but Caspian is kind of extremely dead at the moment and it would probably kill Tirian were he to meet any more of his legends, even if he is related to this one), anyone else think that Jared Padelecki was looking particularly Caspian-like a couple eps back in "Metamorphosis"? Or was it just me?
Obviously this got me started thinking on how long the royal family would have actually looked pretty Telmarine before, three hundred years down the line, we get Tirian and his red hair and blue eyes. (DAMN YOU LEWIS. I wanted him to have green eyes. *sulks* Occasionally I do listen to what the books say, you know. And regard it, even.) And which of Caspian's descendants (or ancestors?) Jared Padalecki would be. Look, I am a shallow duckling.
Y'all are lucky I generally have a more or less "don't post for twenty-four hours after a story goes up" policy; you missed out on what probably would have been two or three whining, bitching, and moaning posts about College and Life. I am over it now! Mostly. Now I'm sulking about not having close-toed black shoes to wear to ushering tonight; my only black shoes are my Tolo/prom shoes, and I suppose they'll have to do. I lucked out and snagged an ushering slot tonight for Tulane's performance of "The Arabian Nights", which I have to see for Theatre Arts. I get tech hours and a free show.
*eyes Dust warily* I'll panic when it passes "In Constellated Wars" in length. I haven't compiled Constellated into a single document, but I think it tops out at around 40K. Dust? Not there yet, but oh, it could. I'm nearly at the point where I'm going to have to jump and decide if we're going for a relatively quick PC-type resolution or a long, drawn out, bloody struggle a la ASoIaF. Because it could go either way. (Although if we go the latter way we get Susan negotiating with pirates and Edmund hobnobbing with Cair Paravel criminals. I would be tempted for that alone if it wouldn't add so much length onto the story.)
