LJ Idol - Week 13: Fan Death

[tonithegreat]

I’m thinking of her now because it seems very likely that I’ll soon be loosing her. Ariel’s presence in our lives has been one of the few constants over the last several years, and as strange as her appearance was, I know I’m going to miss her fiercely.

Thanks! I hope I can come back to this.

Wait, where's the rest? I want to know who this strange woman was and how she came to be lying half-dead on that beach.

And who exactly this girl's mother is and what her parents actually do, based on that really descriptive phrase there. Not to mention why her father thinks he's running out of time...

I think I have this about 2/3 of the way sketched in in my mind, but that last third will be the trickiest. Idol has an ability to make me imagine a couple of scenes very clearly sometimes, but the rest doesn’t always get filled in. And I’m sort of stealing from a very old story that I failed to finish way back when I was the narrator’s age for some of this world, which just goes to show that a writer’s compost heap can last a really long time, I guess. . .

Oh my gosh, you selkie! This has such a painterly feel of magical realism to it. Can't wait to speak with you about this projected transformation!

I miiiiiiiiissssssss you, amigo! I need to do better on keeping up communication.

Your descriptions are masterful.

[tonithegreat]

Thank you, thank you!

Hopefully I’ll have a chance to get back to this at some point!
