Travel Into My World

Today was very boring. I slept for about 4 hours today in the afternoon but other than that I did mostly writing on "Into the Fire", and I am happy to say... I am finished with it, mostly.

The interaction between Espa and Marcia was going to be a lot more epic than I made it, but I think Espa wanted to set an example for his brothers. So he behaved himself. Yay! He actually admitted that Victoria was, indeed, family to him and he would do anything to protect her just as she would go to ridiculous lengths to protect them. This time, that wasn't the case. Marcia just kinda broke into the room, and attempted to abduct her.

Thankfully, Griffon saved the day, and she is okay. The tournament is not going to happen for Victoria though because she was over exhausted. In the epilogue, though, I have it planned that Veronica and Victoria will get their duel when everyone returns to Domino City. The winner is a surprise. <3

The next couple of days, I am planning to take a rest from writing because I am exhausted creatively. Marcia's back story is going to be even more energy, and I am not sure I will be able to do it if I don't rest right now. This story has to be close 50k words so that I win, if that makes sense. That's the only thing that worries me about writing Fanfiction for NaNoWriMo. I've gotten close to 50k. Into the Lion's Den was close to 50k. Into the Fire was half-that. I'm hoping that "The Main Attraction" will be 50 or more.

Tomorrow I will probably be out with Mom all day, which means no tagging at Grande Latte until I get home... and I didn't do much of that today. -sadface- I don't know, I just really enjoy playing Farkle, so when I don't get tag, my Farkle gets antsy. LOL. I can be patient, I swear.

I am going to be buying my soda for NaNoWriMo tomorrow, too. Mountain Dew White Out and or Game Fuel! depending on whichever is available in a 12 oz can. Which me luck here!! I also need to buy some more Latte stuff for Keurig. Maybe.

Going to head to bed now. I love you guys, and I will see you all tomorrow!!

Trivia: Christien and Victoria have 2 songs that I associate with them. The first is "Just to See You Smile" by Tim McGraw, and the other is "All I Ask of You" from The Phantom of the Opera.

So when I started Into the Lion's Den back in September, I said it was my closure fic, and that I was compelled to write it because I was never able to really get it done, and out there. Well, here's the thing about that. I probably opened more doors than I closed.

As I was writing for Into the Lion's Den, and reacquainting myself with my own head canon, I discovered some interesting things had taken place in the verse while I was away getting involved in more "adult" things. First was the revelation that Griffon was the Robas' cousin. And second, that there was a STRONG STRONG possibility that Marcia had been manipulated into a relationship with Julius (which will be explored more in depth in a separate fic).

That being said, I now know I am probably going to be writing fanfiction for Yu gi oh for a long time now. Here is what's on deck next after "Into the Fire":

1. Marcia's Story (I have not come up with a title. Suggestions are welcomed!)

2. A story about how Victoria wound up becoming the standing babysitter for the Robas, and the development of her relationship with Espa in that respect.

3. Some story based on Julius and Marcia's time line that is more focused on his triplet brothers, Spencer, Aaron, and Cale.

And then some miscellaneous things I've already mentioned in passing but will seriously consider if this trend continues:

Christien and Victoria's wedding

A story based around Jonathan and Nikki (because I feel awful I haven't really explored that much since The Roba Diaries).

Some future time line exploring Espa teaching at a university, and his growing relationship with Nora (again cause I swear the others got shafted once the Victoria/Christien thing developed)

Jonathan, Christien, and Victoria's future adventures as co-owners of the carnival

Victoria's choice to go on to Juilliard despite the connotation it held for Wyatt when she was a teen.

And definitely some stories for Ej and Andrew. Though I haven't really thought much about where they were going to go in the future. I know it's already been stated that Victoria is no longer their standing sitter though she still seems to take that role whenever its called for. I personally think she will forever label herself as such until either Andrew or Ej say otherwise. As of now Ej and Andrew are starting to see her as an adoptive sister and less of a sitter.

Granted many of these particular stories can be written as blurbs or one-shots. But I am more prone to longer stories, so we'll see what happens there. And these are more like suggestions for stories I could write. I have enough knowledge of the Roba verse in my own headcanon that I don't need to watch the episodes anymore.

Oh. A note about that. In this current fic, it's going to be revealed that Victoria actually has no real memory of the ESP Duelist episodes. She's only seen it once when she was still living with her abusive father, and the psych ward the Johnsons put her in disallowed any association with the cartoon so she was never able to see it again. The only reason she knows about Jinzo and what Espa did is because of Jo. Wait'll Espa and the Robas hear that!!

So it seems I will be in the Fanfiction business for a while longer. I *had* to open that door, didn't I? LOL.

Trivia: Victoria only knows the Bikers from the Doom/Doma saga because Johanna told her about them. When she comes to the Yu gi oh-verse to live, she has only vague memories of certain characters after Battle City due to the fact she was basically forbidden to watch the show. The Ishtars are her strongest memory because of their prior assistance in getting her out of her "father"'s care. She is vaguely aware of Weevil and Rex due to Duelist Kingdom, and vaguely aware of Espa Roba and his brothers because of Jo.
