Still feeling insecure about my Tyler and Caroline characterisations. I've got to stop reading Tyler/Caroline fanfic until I'm finished writing my story. It's just not good for my ego.

I've figured out there's a second reason keeping me from finishing the damned thing. For the past month or so, I've been writing the story chronologically: and now ( Read more... )

Just read a ficlet by an author whose work I find amazing. She's so good at nailing Tyler's and Caroline's characterisation--especially Tyler's. In fact, it's scary how good this author is at writing from Tyler's POV and keeping him 100% in character.

So now I'm feeling about this big and massively insecure about my own story, mostly because of ( Read more... )

Just finished writing a really cute scene between Tyler and Caroline. I think it successfully captures her character--that whole neurotic control freak on crack business, but in a super adorable way. And Tyler. Poor Tyler. He's just nodding and going along with her because he's a smart boy and knows better than to stand in Caroline's way when she ( Read more... )

My little Tyler/Caroline story is nearing the 20,000 word mark and I've still got a fair amount to write. I'm now thinking I'll probably hit 25,000 words by the end of it. Seriously, where did all these words come from ( Read more... )

Dear LiveJournal,

Why are you being dickish and forcing me to a reply screen when all I want to do on my friends list is read the comments for the entries, not actually reply to the entries?

Sincerely,
Paloma

P.S. Also, could you possibly load the pages any slower? *sigh*

~ If the Rapture does happen tomorrow at 6pm (not sure which time zone that is) then I feel kinda bummed that I never got to finish my Tyler/Caroline story. I really thought it would have been done long before the end of season two, but it just kept getting bigger and bigger and completely took on a life of its own ( Read more... )

Argh! Damn you, Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson, for your crazy Mystic Falls time line! I need to figure out when the ritual happened in relation to the end of the school year in relation to future full moons. I'm going to be too preoccupied with a dubious calendar of events to ever get my bbs together ( Read more... )

I ran errands and whatnot yesterday, although it doesn't feel like I got much accomplished. I did find another cute summer top. I'm ready for summer even if the weather isn't. It's raining right now and a very cool 10°C (50°F). It's been utterly miserable, with only a day or two when the temperature dared to creep up to seasonal norms. It hailed on ( Read more... )

I was so hoping to have finished my Tyler/Caroline (sorry, but I can't bring myself to use their smushed ship name) fic by now. I wanted to have it finished and posted before Tyler's return but that didn't work out. Then I was hoping I'd have it done by this week's episode, but that's not looking likely either. I'm aiming for before the season two ( Read more... )

I've just completed the first two-thirds of the first draft. The final third is next and is mostly written. I think. I hope. I just need to add some missing scenes, expand existing ones, and then bring it all together and pray it makes sense ( Read more... )
