Three days into the school year and I already know what my favorite class is. My first hour, which is the wonderful creative writing class. We've been writing weird and random and hilarious things pretty much nonstop, and I just thought I'd share something that reminded me of this website.
My homework for this weekend is to take a character the class sloppily put together and build upon it, integrating him into a scene.
The character the class came up with? A 19-year-old guy who wants money. Eldrin instantly came to mind for me. Especially when a girl in the front row decided he had to be in a cave. I have to write a story about a 19-year-old guy in a cave who wants money, and it's going to be so difficult not to write about Eldrin trying to rob someone with no money (again) in a cave.
I obviously can't write about Eldrin since, you know, Eldrin belongs to Eldrin and it would likely end up a rewrite of his first encounter with Rii... except in a cave. But I thought you all should know that even if school makes it hard for me to get on, I'm thinking about you guys. Speaking of which, I need Rii to meet up with Kadina soon (which involves finishing Zombieland) and then Rii can invade threads without worry! It'll be so exciting.
I'm excited.

Yay! You remembered me! :') I'm so happy! ;D
Anyway, creative writing class, huh? I'm so jealous! Last year, my favorite teacher was all set to teach just such a class (she even had full list of students signed up), but then our evil counselor decided against it! For no good reason we lost what would have surely been my favorite class (also, my only class with Iona)... Oh well, the past is the past, right?
But yeah, as far as thinking about ZP when your away, I know what you mean. I find myself pondering it at work when things get slow. I make all kinds of crazy plans for Eldrin, just to pass the time... Of course, I never do any of them...
Also, I agree with Kadina, keep us updated!

I'll start posting some of my favorite journal prompts I wrote. We get about five minutes to write these, so it probably doesn't flow as well as it could, but oh well. The prompts themselves will be in bold.
She was a redheaded woman. This used to be a good thing. It used to mean she was fiery and brimming with energy. Life. Men longing for a walk on the wild side approached her. Of course, she also had a slim waist and curves that could lure away just about anything with a y chromosome, but for the most part she took pride in her ringlets of hair that whipped around her face like dancing flames. They called her Lady Fire because of that, and she used to love it. But one day the nickname stopped referring to her hair. Now it spoke of that fateful morning where she ran out of that burning house, fire eating away at her skin until she threw herself into the river. Half the hair on her head was ripped away from her by hungry flames. Most people might say to simply wear a cap and avoid a mirror. But they failed to understand that, more than the hideous sight of her scarred figure and her destroyed hair, she loathed the stench. When she woke up to find her house on fire, the first thing she had registered was the horrid smell of burning flesh. She was overpowered by smoke and ash. Those smells have not left since, and it's been two years.
Thell originally had her own story where her name was Amaya. But since that name is from a culture that doesn't exist in Zelda I changed it up and altered her story to fit this universe. (Gerudo business and what not) In my other story she was basically a prostitute. So this is Thell in her original story.
