Organizational Motivation
[Author's notes:] Okay, so sometime last night, I decided to make the Queen of Fairies the overreaching nemesis in this story. SHE STILL NEEDS A NAME!!! So if you have a suggestion, make a comment! Thanks.
I also decided Chapter 2 is going to be solely devoted to Kat. Now that'll be an interesting development cause I've only recently started working on her background. So far, I really like her parents, and I really DON'T like Kat as a teenager. Can't wait to figure out how she transforms from a self-centered selfish know-it-all to probably the most centered and sane character in the story.
My lover suggested Tak for the hermaphrodite elf. I liked the symmetry and the juxtaposition between Kat and Tak. Think anyone would mind that or worse, find it confusing?
OH! Speaking of Tak, originally, the plans for him/er was to be a minor minor minor character. Basically, a gimme your sperm character. S/he is totally growing on me so watch for Tak to have a much larger role.
Dawna will be one of Tristan's classmates I think. She's going to be the randy one. Basically anyone with two legs will be fair game for Dawna. Her specialty is going to be Hand, whereas Tristan's is going to be Heart. The third person in this triad of potential has the specialty of Head of course. From what I've developed so far, this third person is going to be the catalyst for a lot of changes for people, though she herself is fairly immutable.
Plot you ask? Fairly epic, but just hold your horses. I'd rather talk about character development, voice, themes, anything but plot. The plot comes out of the rest of this, not vice versa in my opinion. Anyway, feel free to put your opinions in and I'll feel free to take it or ignore it. :)
