Long Paragraphs Describing Projects

It's exactly what it says on the tin today. If you're not interested, go away. If you are, come here, you fail at life like I do, and I love you for it.

The Theatre of Truths
I never run out of things to add to TOT, and although it has a beginning and an end, I’m really proud of it both as a story and as a pile of incoherent shit.
Out of my projects, I love it the most. I always end up thinking new things to add to it, new plots to follow, so I guess it will never actually be complete.

It’s centred about an art student, her imaginary best friend, her French serial killer girlfriend, the resident failed novelist and a crack-addicted religious mentalcase trying to save the world in a country ruled by a mad fascist Star Wars fanboy, his trapped-in-the-body-of-a-10-year-old-girl second in command, his hippie wife and his silent bodyguard, opposed only by a very sad press director who really needs better things to do. Sounds like the physical equivalent of a migraine yet? You’ve seen nothing. I like the gory parts best.

The Day of Night
A novel with a hundred sub-plots, based on the RPG me and Merjonic used to run. Not your typical battle for heaven, where angels are nutjobs who think they live in the medieval age, demons are a bunch of fascistic bastards stuck on early 40’s Germany and humans are the worst part of each, with vampires, és a dir, demons and angels who have been thrown away, also into the mix.

There’s a fickle truce between Heaven and Hell, but the murder of an angel while on an Earthly mission just about starts an undercover war between the trigger-happy and the peacefully insane. Beings of all kinds are involved and rocks fall in the end. A very playful nightmare. It also has S&M. I love it.

L.O.A.T.H.
aka Lily, Olivia, Amanda, Tania, Heinrich [And Their Multiple Tales Of Woe]. I developed this one early this summer, because inspiration just about hit me on my various trips. I have a bunch of sketches for it piled up somewhere. It builds from the very bad, very crack idea of what would happen if a fangirl somewhere paired two real people in a Real Person Fic and they found out. The people in question being metal veteran Amanda Stockholm and garage fantastic Tania Lennox. Unfortunately, I spent way too much time developing the side characters and the little details (the main character Olivia remains a cardboard cut-out, but I have the outfits for all five of Amanda’s band’s gigs designed) to really ever develop the plot properly.

Theatre of Life
It was the small vague webcomic idea which later evolved into TOT as we know it. But lately, I’ve been feeling like revamping the project, less as something serious (with proper characters, etc.) and more like short injokes.

SRS BIZ
It’s long. It’s very long, and it’s also very fragmented. There are a lot of characters in it, hardly any fictional, although I still have to make up my mind on that. I’m debating on whether I should have two characters as the focus, but that would sort of screw up the relationships. Part of it, although it’s not very clear where it will begin or end, is all well-elaborated in my head; I mostly have ideas of scenes with songs as the background music, because the soundtrack for this is a very important thing and has to be chosen carefully. For now, I think the ones I have thought of best are probably the I’ll Be There For You and the I Gotcha scenes. I also only have a three-page excerpt typed up, it’s called Starving. Unfortunately the story is going through some rough time just now, not many new ideas, and I’d rather see where it’s going before definitely writing it.
