laurajva. persons, please to be seeing kouredios's friending meme if you are in need of friends for conversations on the internet!
b. I re-watched The Last Unicorn recently, and it makes me want to work on Amalthea. The trouble with Amalthea is -- well, there are lots of troubles with it, which is why I've been working on it for almost 10 years now; I just looked; the first outline is from October 2003* -- back up, no one knows what it is anymore -- it's a due South story about Dief, and back to its problem -- the problem is, THE problem, is that the more I work on it, the more I become aware that it is straight-out old-school horror, like The Spiral Staircase or The Haunting and you guys, I don't want anyone to die in this story, but when you have this much bad magic, someone always dies. They must, because that is how it is done, and so that is how you must do it.
* eta: omg, it's older than that; that date is the date of ALL the oldest files I have, which means it's probably the date I switched back to Macs from Windows and transferred all my files.
* * eta2: I found me wittering about it a little in Feb 2002. Good gravy.
