amberfocusHello? Spring? Still waiting! Oh, my freaking goodness, this is getting utterly ridiculous. I do not expect to wake up to snow on my car on the 29th of April. What is that all about? Plus it was the morning of Rose's field trip to Olympia which meant getting her up at 5:30 and being at the school by 6:00 a.m. Now normal school hours start at 9:00 so we usually sleep in until 8:00 (school's only a mile away). So, of course, I had to get Tobias up as well since Chris is still in Alaska and there was no one to leave him home with. Not leaving an 8-year-old alone in an empty house for 5 minutes to run down to the school, even if he is sleeping and wouldn't have noticed! No matter how tempting that bad mother thought was. *sighs* So of course T does not go back to sleep. Like he ever does if you wake him up. So I'm a bit (read: a whole boatload of a lot) cranky and tired and with the bouts of insomnia I've had in the last ten days, my mood is a little off. Hate that. I like being mellow. Not to mention the bus was almost a whole hour late coming back from Olympia, so instead of getting back at 6:00 p.m. it got back at 6:50. They had issues with Seattle traffic. Why am I not surprised? Okay, thus endeth my rant and boy do I feel better!
On the plus side I tried out a new recipe today for making soft breadsticks and they taste an awful lot like crazy bread from Little Caesar's. Note to self, try adding one more tbsp of brown sugar or substituting with honey next time.
Okay, so onwards to the writing bits. I am not the least little bit shocked at the outcome of my poll on Moments in Darkness. Well, actually I am a little bit. I am really surprised that so many people want it to turn into baby!fic. I write angst/hurt/comfort and you, my lovely reader's want happy endings. *grins* No, the part I'm not surprised about is that half of my readers want it to be Ten with babies and half want it to be Nine with babies. I really thought there'd be a few more people who did not want babies at all. So I'm tempted to do an alternate time line split. Continue on with Moments in Darkness with Nine where PotW doesn't happen or if it does happen it doesn't kill Nine but it does alter his DNA or Rose's. But a gradual alteration so there'd be no babies right away. Possibly. Not saying I'm doing this yet, so don't get your hopes up. Second, the alternate time line where Nine does turn into Ten and in his process of making himself pretty for Rose and having the Time Vortex in him, having his DNA altered enough to be compatible with Rose but Rose not wanting to sleep with him for a good long time after the change so I can keep the angst there. And if, if, if, I do this alternate time line I'd call it Onward Towards Light. That's what I'm currently thinking.
I'm going to leave the poll open for a few more days because I may yet change my mind and I am honestly surprised there have been as many responses to it as there have been. Unless people are voting more than once? Regardless, I'm resting the Moments in Darkness series for a couple of days. I have got to write that last chapter of Repercussions, it is just sitting there waiting to be finished and driving me crazy. Repercussions spoiler right here: How hard is it to do an epilogue with Delta's birth anyway? *pets Alt!Ten and Alt!Rose who have been waiting and waiting*
End Repercussions spoiler.
Of the Vortex Born is languishing and I know what happens next, I really do, so why? Argh! On the good news front, I'm almost done with super stubborn ch. 10 of Hunger Moon. I've rewritten it a lot. Jackie was coming off as a harpy instead of just bitchy and worried about the twins. And I really don't like her and Rose fighting about Alt!Nine. It's hard. I know it's necessary, but I feel like I'm fighting with my own mother and we never fight. Well, maybe once a decade. I'm tempted to write a future ficlet of Alt!Nine and Rose and one of their future children. Just to get some of the Nine baby!fic stuff out of my head for a bit. It would take place after the series was over. I found what I think looks just like a child CE could have with BP. The other little girl is Cassiopea Tyler from the Time Eternal Series, Rose and Ten's second born child. And the little boy down below? You guessed it, that's their first born son Vandarius "Dare" Tyler. I really wanted kids that I thought looked like a cross between DT and BP and I think these do. Oh, and while I was at it I also found Devora. That's Martha and Dare's daughter. I'm having a hard time finding Marsden. Anyone know of some mutli-ethnic modeling sights that have children? I need a boy around sixteen with mocha to bronze (or even the color of the little girl next to Dare) colored skin and blond hair. I know that's not easy to find, but someone might have a clue.
Anyway, I suppose I've rambled on long enough. I'm off to check and see if Teaspoon has posted ch. 3 of Have yet or not, they're taking forever today. And then back to work on ch. 10 of Hunger Moon and maybe some editing on ch. 2 of Andromeda Rising. Not to mention the 68 comments to wade through. *smiles*
