Dreamwidth

[twopoint]

So, twopoint has a blank journal sitting and waiting for new life at Dreamwidth - but I don't know what I really expect/want/need from it.  I'm staring at the Import button wondering if I'm going to cross post, import this journal, keep it empty as a second home, use if for all the bad, racy fic I continually write but need to publish under a different pseudo-pseudonym (guess I should have thought of a better username).  What are the rest of you doing? 

Also, I requested more invite codes, not sure if they'll arrive, but if they do - does anyone want one?

I read Thevina's Break Open the Massive Dark last night and was pleased that someone finally addressed what could have happened to Aleeme and Azriel. I love, as you said, the world building in Constantine's works. Unfortunately I read the Thor combined anthology for the first three books and I thought all the while: "The story doesn't begin until the fourth chapter of the first book and the plot holes are killing me but I can't stop reading!" Only to realize there were revised editions out there that corrected most of my problems with the books. The plot holes are excellent fodder for fanfic however. Azriel for instance, why go to all that trouble to create him, use him and Aleeme to create massive emotional attachment to an ugly battle and then . . .never mention them again? Maelstrom and Mage is next on my reading list.

I love to see an established writer embracing and using fanfic.

Complexity of characterization:Most of Constantine's characters are surprisingly three dimensional. I usually run screaming from first person narration yet her characters drew me in right away. It's been a very long time since I read anything genre-esque that didn't beat me over the head with black and white morality. The characters in this world are extraordinarily grey, very real, an excellent inhuman mirror flashing toward humanity. I liked Seel that best in the first trilogy and even more so after the second. The hissy fit after locking Flick up is priceless. Yes, sometimes we all just want to be a bitch.

Now you must direct me to all your favorite stories!

Thrilled that you liked Seel. I really like him. He is not among the most popular characters in the fanfic milieu. Don't know why. I’ve written two Seel and Swift stories: “What Is This Thing Called Love” and “Fated Obsession.”

I will definitely make you list of my favs.
