CVS had its usual writerly meeting, critiquing one of our members. I actually wrote a scene earlier today in something other than fanfic.The piece is based off a song I heard on Natalie MacMaster's beautiful "Blueprint" album, but I need to find ways to twist it further so it isn't just a straight retelling. (For those not watching
wabbitseason, my fannish LJ, I've been writing pieces based on my user icons for friends, so far covering
Babylon 5,
Highlander, and Clamp's
"Shirahime-Syo" manga. I still have X-men and Indy Methos/PW to write which will make my weekend interesting.)
I also talked to Jen about joining her new "Changeling" campaign, since I'm feeling the urge to do face-to-face gaming again. I listen to the current campaign and smile and nod a lot. In some ways, I'm glad not to have the emotional baggage, but another part of me feels a little left on the sidelines. I just need more data on the kith and their types. I listened to the initial descriptions. Eshu sounded interesting, but not quite where I wanted to go. Fox lover that I am, it would be too tempting to play a
kitsune or its ilk. But on the other hand, I like the idea of playing a snarky noble manuevering things in the background. I'm just not sure whether I could
play her in person.
Tina, was "Changeling" one you had played? Our GM is doing some tinkering, so hopefully we'll minimize the worst aspects of the game.
