Compilation required...

Running out of possible scenes I can write for the first part (Italia)...

Only two left that I can think of... and this will make absolutely no sense out of context... but I'll note them down before I forget them...

1. News from Iberia... talking about Dertosa... during Publius' quaestorship...

No sense right? Right... ok... moving on.

2. Introducing the lictors!

-_-

More time to be wasted at work... which is increasingly annoying me but ah well...

On a different note: Escapist Expo's Hour of Love!

*derp*

Huh... *looks further down blog* ... woops... didn't realised already indicated at the aforementioned framing device... ah well...

Here's a silly picture to tide you over the next month... -_- (bugger... September already...)

Official... & Yet Another Idea...

Let's consider this properly shall we, just so as I have it written somewhere for the sake of posterity...

As you know, a few sketches (OK, I don't know why I use that word, considering I read it with respect to Beethoven on his walks around the southern German woodlands when trying to find inspiration) around here have been about the experiences of Gaius Laelius. I'm now trying to tie the whole lot together and make it look plausible as well as historically accurate with respect to events, characters (woohoo, thank you Titus Livius Patavinus for giving me a complete main cast!!), most of the interactions and especially Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus Major (to use his full name in retrospect). However, some of the theatricality in this first part is starting to make me weep, though how the hell am I supposed to fill out eight years of story when little happened in reality?! *sigh*

Anyway, the framing device I haven't touched upon properly and I'm still trying to figure out exactly what to put in all those conversations, and considering the narrator is Laelius, it should be kind of obvious what the framing device is: Polybius interviews Laelius, 160BC. Thus, question: to involve the younger members of the Scipionic Circle in these sections or not to involve them? *dramatic shrug*

On another note... sci-fi time... haven't done anything space-y in ages. So, here we go: cross between of the Napoleonic Wars & the Second Punic War (shut it, it's fiction!)... in space (well d'uh). So, how obvious a reference is the central character's name: Stafford?!

No?

*shrug* to lighter things then:

Momiji! I like her... she's silly! Plus, Kana Hanazawa voicing a complete psycho is hilah-rious! Oh yeah, and Miyuki Sawashiro as Cerevisiae in Moyashimon Returns is amusing...
