Oh yay....*faint*

Clay 14 first pass is done. YAY. *oozes out of her chair onto the floor* Now I can clear the backlog for Captive 3 and start Nana 16. Speaking of Captive, my freebie copy of vol 1 came a few days ago. It's very purple. O.o I like purple, it was just a shock, is all. Usually Viz manga covers are a huge image with the series logo, mangaka's name, vol #, etc placed over it. Not so with Captive, they went with the cover image inside a box, and around the box? Purple. Huh. Flipping through the book make me a little woozy. I forgot how horribly difficult Captive 1 was. All that insane humor. Ooooog. I'm glad vols 2 and now 3 are a little more drama-heavy and thus less....frantic. Whew!

You know, the title of my journal is aptly chosen. "So Many Stories". Not just the ones I work on for others, and the ones I read, but my own. I've been dancing around a bunny for my own Harry/Draco friendship fic. I really like the idea, but the last thing I need is another fanfic WIP, right? So tonight I was thinking. That idea really is interesting, so...why not spin it into an original idea? And draw it as a manga? Hmmmmmm? Then I had to start thinking about world building. You know, since I can't set an original story at Hogwarts. :P Thus began about an hour's worth of messing around with ideas for setting. IRL, sci-fi, classic fantasy, IRL-AU style, historical, etc etc etc. All have pros and cons, so which one??

I think I found one that's rather unconventional. Hmmmmm. I need to mess with it some more. I must confess, I considered making everyone catboys. :3 But I think I'll go wth my first love: elves. Eeeeheeheeheee. <3 If I'm going to draw the same guys over and over, I might as well enjoy the view, right??

Anyway, wish me luck. Both with the Captive catch-up, and with the original story. Lots to think about....
