Morning, guys.
I'm looking at beautiful pictures in my new Aida book.
::drools::
New Aida fic. (Yes, Emcee approves.)
Let me know if you guys think this is worth writing more of.
Elaborate Lives--Ch. 1
Hey guys.... I found internet!!!!!
wooo!!
Hope you all had a merry Christmas and all that jazz.... NTG, you can explain this drama to me, since I don't really have time to sift through it all. It looks like we might have a new member, so if you're going to be staying with us: Willkommen. Bienvenue. Welcome!
Um... what else? Oh. Yes. I approve.
ETA - great picture, Kyle!
I'm back (see NTG I don't really have a life... just promised my younger sister that I would play a round of this video game she got for christmas haha)
Nice to 'see' you Emcee
Yea. NTG can explain the drama...
and now to read some aida fan fic...
Well come on then Emcee you're s'pposed to bring the thread back to life.. it pretty much died when you left
Anyways. Loved the new fan fic- you should keep it up for a while if its something you enjoy writing

So. Whats up? Where is everyone? What am I supposed to do when the place where about 80% of my social life takes place is going extremely slow and no one is here?
I'm here!
I was just wondering the same thing...I've been staring at this screen for the last two hours getting almost nothing done. I am pathetic.
::is lonely::
I think I'm gonna go work out...and wa-listen to Aida. Again.
I'll be back in like 25 minutes. Keep talking.
Haha I think I'll go attempt to find something to do as well, but I'll definately be back later
and now of course I'm the only one here...
::cries::
Haha I'm back as well...
Don't really have anything to say though.
Which defeats the purpose of posting.
Oh well.
YAY!
I'm gonna have a sound clip from Christmas Eve in a few minutes.
Oooh I wanna hear it
IM me.
Emcee, glad you were able to get online. NTG, it sounds like you were able to get your voice back into shape for your solo - that's great. I liked your Aida story, except for the names of the characters. I think you could use more ordinary names without sacrificing anything. I'll be interested to see where you go with this.
Thank you, Chloe. I know what you mean about the names...they kind of bother me, but at the same time, I think I'd get more complaints if I changed them...we'll see.
"I think I'd get more complaints if I changed them"
Do you mean complaints about changing them in midstream, or are these names that are associated with Aida in some way already? (aside from relating to "Aida" and "Radames" a little)
Both. No, they're not already associated in any other way...but from the few Aida fics I've read, people already generally expect the modernized names to sound similar to the original character names.
Besides which, now the names are stuck in my head...
Yeah, I can see that if those names are now the characters to you, it would be tough to change them.
I also really enjoyed the ending of the Rent fic. If anything, I thought you could have taken more time with it - I know you were concerned with how long the last installment was, but it seemed over in a flash to me. I feel like you have a really strong grasp of those characters.
Sorry to threadjack, but I don’t want to start another ’I need a song to sing for ____’ thread. I need to find some male/female broadway duets to suggest to Noday for my next recital.
I'm already required to sing ‘Young and Healthy’ from 42nd street (girl's vote) and ‘As Long As You’re Mine’ (Noday's choice) So now I have to find a 'slow emotional love song'
Any ideas?
ELABORATE LIVES!
'Til There was You
I Should Tell You
Without You
It Only Takes a Moment (I think that's four people though)
Suddenly Seymour
Chloe--Again, thank you. In retrospect, I probably shouldn't have broken it up, as I don't think many people ended up reading on Christmas Eve. But oh well. I didn't have the ending quite finished, and I wanted to get that part of the chapter put up anyway. Do you have any thoughts on whether or not I should keep any of that scene and use it in my screenplay?
