No updates, just a new icon. This is how I envision Quin, sans the horrific red... thing. The full picture is here.

The Grand Tour, Part 1 [Jul. 14th, 2007|10:09 pm]

It was a chilly October afternoon, three hours after Vin left for work, two hours after Quin sneaked out of the house elaborately to let Ariel know he was going somewhere far too cool to take her, and half a minute after Ariel realized the baking soda was missing. )

Interim notes [Jul. 11th, 2007|12:45 am]

As you might have noticed, Throbbing Pagan Sex God is a tad stalled.

That's partly because the plot starts to roll forward with a sequence called "Ariel's Big Adventure," but that section can't start until three other scenes are done. Those three scenes are undone because they're dead in my mind--I forgot what happens, or I know what happens but the characters just won't move any longer because the scene is stale. I've decided to stop waiting on the scenes. Below is a rundown of the important pieces of information each scene was supposed to convey. Read on if you like, or skip it if you don't want to be spoiled for when I finally unstick the scenes.

A story in search of three scenes. )

Right. The plan for the week is the first section of Ariel's adventure.

Questions before circle [Oct. 3rd, 2006|11:55 pm]

Everyone in the more laid-back of the local pagan groups is milling about getting ready for a ritual on Hannah and Sam's farm. Tension is in the air because Blackthorn has recently moved into the area and made a bid for power; no one knows whether he will choose tonight's ritual to start a witch war. He's not invited, but he's also not specifically disinvited, not yet. Meanwhile, Ariel is having religious troubles of several different flavors, mostly related to the fact that the gods have taken to visiting her house. She's also been having more organically grown doubts of her own for a while. She and Hannah, a much older woman who has been like a mother to her since she moved in 7 years ago, are standing on the hilltop watching the preparations below.


Ariel shifted uneasily. 'I don't know that I feel right coming to these rituals any more,' she said. )

The hope chest [Sep. 24th, 2006|09:32 am]

This scene takes place well into the story, after the Winterbournes have done some digging around and have developed more precise suspicions of what their mother is up to. The "it" in this scene is an object that she uses to ground her magic--they don't know what it is, they just know it's something she would never have let them see. She doesn't have any private space in the house but her bedroom, so that's where they are.

A quick update on where the story stands. )

This snippet comes a little while after Quin's last visit to the Raven Spiral. It's going to be reworked to go in a different scene, but as I haven't had much new for a while, I'll throw it in.


Blackthorn was a thundercloud. )

In the days when Ariel's various fathers walked the earth, the soul of every house had been a flame kept eternally burning in the hearth. )

First, a snippetlet. With apologies to those who write poetry. )


So I've got an idea that could add considerable tension to the story and turn it in a whole new direction. Problem is, it involves (the threat of) rape. Plot talk and random blather. )

This scene goes after Mariah's trip through the house and before the second god appears.

It was a wet day with many muddy comings and goings, so Ariel was wiping the foyer floor when the god walked in. )
