deep malice to conceal, couch’d with revenge

i am lacking in inspiration.  i have four fics to write for the ff_drabble ficathon, and i'm so lacking in any ideas.  and two of them are smut.  urgh.  my muse presented me with a scene for the haremverse all giftwrapped with a lovely black angsty bow, but unfortunately, that's not what i need to be working on now. 

damn it.

ah, these are rare, but here is a post that fulfils the purpose of this journal, which is to house my random fanficish thoughts. if you're not goldfish, this will make no sense.

just as an aside, jellybones1978 told me that she's worried about triggering the Apocolypse by reading my fanfiction. i felt proud.

( movies inspire me to plagierize, yay! )

i'm sure i have more to think about on that particular topic, but that's a start. feh. i'm in a morbid mood. also rummaging around in my head are various plotbunnies involving kallatin being non-angsty (i know, i know, but in my defense, i've been very sick with the flu lately), and some Questishness. more on that fun later. oh! and a very big fight between maradon!jien and alcestra!'sai over what 'sai did with dotchi. whee!

hmmm. i'll consider this proof that if JCAHO hadn't gotten in my way, i would have been able to complete the NaNo challenge. after all, i didn't seriously start writing until well after 11/15.

oh, well. there's always next year.

so i was explaining to small-steps that although i have been writing steadily despite having no time, my muse insists on providing me inspiration for everything that is not my official nano plot.

"but, tw," says he, "is it not all the same story arc?"
"true indeed, my friend," admits i.  "all i have written involves backstory, sidestory, and the fulfilling of the prophecies eventually to be laid down in this novel.  the war of the gods was my plot, and my plot it remains.  i find no blownuts that further the unraveling of said plot, however.  i am stucketh."
"silly girl," chides he.  "if it's all the same universe, it all counts.  no one said your novel had to be serial."
"small-steps," proclaimed i, "a genius are you."

so, under this new, broader definition of my nanowrimo novel, i will be updating my word count to include all the side crap my muse has been feeding me when he should have been working on godly things.  thanks to small-steps' kindly interpretation, i have a tiny shot of reaching 50,000 by the end of the month.  w00t.

x-posted to sweet insanity.

what started as the story of the war of the gods is turning into a saiyajin history lesson. oh well. maybe when i'm locked in my room over thanksgiving, i'll get some real writing done.

omg revelation!

the sambucans are descended from tsufurujin colonists.  that's why they're genetically related to the saiyajin but without the oozaru characteristics.  the knowledge of how the two races are related was lost in the War, but as the two cultures developed, diplomatic ties were re-established until the societies became as close as they are when the "shi" story arc starts.

thank you, nanowrimo, for forcing me to come up with a plausible reason for that!


edit: and i got so sidetracked by this revelation i forgot what i was writing that started it. damn it!

AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

can i just write "no plot" 25,000x? 

no plot no plot no plot no plot no plot no plot no plot no plot no plot no plot no plot no plot no plot no plot...

gods that's really cathartic.

on the upside, i finished the third (sixth?) chapter of the beginning of "Everything You Want" (which is as good a working title as any for the whole "shi" epic).  veji bought 'sai her earrings and dotchi and jien wanna hop in the sack.  go team!

now if only goldfish would WRITE ME AN EMAIL!

(i'm a little spastic today.)

Edit: ok, now that it's my nano journal, i'll cut for spoilers.

( cut! )

this is the compainion to my livejournal; and while i have this account mainly to post on fandom_wank and its incarnations, i may actually put something constructive in here occasionally.

DRAGONBALL Z
My best-loved fandom, and the one most of my fic is about.  Dragonball is the story of a young boy with a tail named Son Goku, and his quest for the magical Dragonballs that will grant one wish to whomever gathers all seven of them.  Along the way, Goku meets many people who become his lifelong friends, and he has many adventures, including losing his tail.  Towards the end of this series, when Goku is about 18 years old, he fights the Demon King Piccolo in the Tenkaichi Buddokai, the World Martial Arts Tournament.  Goku prevails over Piccolo, nearly losing his own life.  The series ends with his marriage to Chichi, the wild daughter of the Ox King that he met on his travels.

Dragonball Z begins five years later, at a reunion among Goku's old friends.  He brings his four-year-old son Gohan along.  The party is crashed by a large alien with a tail called Radditz, who explains that he is Goku's brother.  Goku is actually from a warrior race called the saiyajin, who engage in planet piracy at the behest of their overlord, the cruel Lord Frieza, himself the son of King Cold.  It was saiyajin policy to send off their soldier-class infants to viable planets inhabited by weaker species; as the children grew, they would answer their subliminal programing and destroy all sentient life.  This is how Goku came to Chikyuu (Earth).  The saiyajin home planet, Vejiitasei, was destroyed shortly after Goku's birth; and a childhood head injury altered his personality and wiped out his imperative to purge the planet.  Radditz explains all this and offers an ultimatum: Goku must join him, or Radditz will kill Goku's son.
