Expectations and Unexpected - Notes and Musings

May 10, 2007 14:57

Home sick today. I don't feel that bad, just dizzy if I stand up quickly or bend down. I thought I was tired enough to take a nap but that didn't work. So here I am.

What follows are some random musings on writing Unexpected. If you're deeply invested in the Doctor/Sarah OTP, or if you haven't read the story, you might not want to read this, ( Read more... )

♥ And I'm so glad you're making another epic :D

Thank you. I am too. I'm just afraid that people who associate me with Sarah/Ten will be disappointed. Especially since there will be neither Ten nor smut in it. ;)

Hee, naw I'll totally read it. Cause I <3 Seven and Ace and with SJ? Will be OMGSOAWESOME XD

I did keep wondering whether Nat and Josh were going to come back into it. But then the plot did get more Sarah/Doctory.

I'm actually quite glad Harry didn't turn up. Partly because I didn't expect him to, but also because it was complicated enough trying to work out what happened from your hints, he would have just complicated it more. And it was long enough!

I am looking forward to the new epic, except for the spoilers there will presumably be in it.

I meant to bring them back in. And Jo and Liz, but it never worked out that way.

I'll probably have him turn up if I ever do anything set afterwards. Just his reappearance would make for an interesting story.

I don't imagine there will be that many spoilers. Although I suppose it depends on your definition of spoilers for the series. ;)

It would. I keep thinking I can't be doing with it because I wrote it in Dream a Little Dream. Then I remembered that actually, I've written it about four times in different ways :)

Although I suppose it depends on your definition of spoilers for the series.

I'm not sure what my definition of spoilers are really. Knowing what happens to the characters after the point I'm reading counts.

I'll write it at some point, I'm sure. Just not immediately. Probably once the first series of SJA is over - I don't think I'll do any post Unexpected stuff until then.

I'm totally wiped-out today, so let me just say yayes, you rule and I can't wait. And whilst your icons have always been good, you seem to have taken a turn into OMG awesome. *hugs*

You and me both. I went to work today with a massive headache (and the headache pills with caffene that I took last night at 9pm, wore off suddenly about an hour ago.

:D I just thought I should give people a warning that the next epic would be nothing like the last. And might mystify the other Americans, but that's all I'm saying at the moment.

I've been practicing, experimenting and reading tutorials. I had done quite a bit of image manipulation with CorelDraw but working with vector graphics is nothing like this. Part of why I decided to do this challenge was that I wanted to expand my skills on the Gimp and it's working.
I've already got a topic in mind for the next challenge.

And if there's a specific icon you'd like me to make, I'm taking requests. :D

*hugs back*
