Faeries wear boots

cpolk is a scary elf vector.

So I need a fae book by May. Or maybe even an elf book. I have a pseudo-proto-idea for an urban fae thingy, but it hasn't gelled into a real Story That Must Be Written yet. On the other hand, I have Adam and Isyllt and their crew jumping up and down in the back of my head demanding books and leather pants and other such nonsense. Isyllt, that bitch, is sidling up to me and pointing out that she'd look oh so pretty with pointy ears (but not Pretty-Pretty). Adam has always been two worlds and in between, so he'll take whatever I toss at him. And yesterday I listened to Floodland one too many times in the car and felt the need to write something political and intriguey. (I've been living in films for the sake of Russia/a kino-runner for the DDR)

Norsey elfy steam punk with necromancers and spies? And zombies, of course.

I'm still starting the ghoul book as soon as I'm done with Dreams.

Rabbit holes

Ganked from acestatic, because it seems a fine idea.

January 27th is the birthday of Lewis Carroll, author of ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND. Alice fell down a rabbit hole into a place where everything had changed and none of the rules could be counted on to apply anymore. I say, let's do the same: January 27th, 2005 should be the First Annual LiveJournal Rabbit Hole Day. When you post on that Thursday, instead of the normal daily life and work and news and politics, write about the strange new world you have found yourself in for the day, with its strange new life and work and news and politics. Are your pets talking back at you now? Has your child suddenly grown to full adulthood? Does everyone at work think you're someone else now? Did Bush step down from the White House to become a pro-circuit tap-dancer? Did Zoroastrian missionaries show up on your doorstep with literature in 3-D? Have you been placed under house arrest by bizarre insectoid women wielding clubs made of lunchmeat?

Let's have a day where nobody's life makes sense anymore, where any random LJ you click on will bring you some strange new tale. Let's all fall down the Rabbit Hole for 24 hours and see what's there. It will be beautiful.
