Starting a doomed project, just like old times.
Luckily, I have gained sense in the past few years, so this time I'm keeping it off the internet until I'm halfway done.

"And, and mommy and daddy going on a date. So, so they can KISS."
Time to start on The Republic. I know nothing except that it's written by Plato. Sounds like a hoot, no?

Yer. Albeit when I saw it I spent the entire play making out with my then-girlfriend in the back row. That boring.

Writing two stories. ^_^
One is a farce on the whole current vampire culture, Twilight in particular-both the series itself and the reaction of it's fans. It portrays, "Realistic vampires and werewolves," who don't suck blood, don't transform into wolves, and who act like utter nerds. They hate Twilight, they read sci fi and fantasy, they write, they act, they roleplay, et cetera. Like Smeyers, the main character is a total self insert, but this is played for laughs more than anything and it's completely out of parody of Smeyer's Bella-all his misery and suffering is played for laughs and giggles rather than sympathy. The novel details the life and time of these nerds who just happen to be undead, following the main character as he fails to ever find a love interest and watching him fullfill his motto: Carpe Noctum!
The second novel is a drama about a boy who, through logic, has realized that he's a fictional character. Being extremely genre savvey, he reasons that once his series ends, he and everyone he knows and loves will cease to exist outside of fanfiction. Realizing this, he struggles to live life as he futilely attempts to thwart the best efforts of his author-that being me-to get him to actually play out a story. He's cut himself off from all his friends and family, as interractions with them could lead to a slice of life story, and tries his best to avoid acting in a heroic manner-something which, due to his innately heroic nature granted to him by the author, he fails at. Eventually, he and everyone he loves dies.

The first one being the one you started a couple of months ago? ^_^
Re: the second one: Have you seen Stranger Than Fiction? >.>

1. Yep. ^_^ I've gotten further.
2. No, but I have a really, really, really bad idea about that one and am now crying inside.

:DD
*ish sorreh* It just sounds eerily similar. D: The specifics are different - like in the movie, he's the only fictional one - but yeah...
