What's your novel about? What age range? Any samples lying around?

(I'm working on one too, see. YA fantasy modern fairy tale type thing. We could have a ping pong game of ideas.)

MATT SMITH

[moon-blitz.livejournal.com]

My novel is set in a fantasy world, where magic is extremely rare (at the present time, anyway). It follows the journeys of two brothers named Jasper and Yuoi as they try to find their place in life and deal with the events that happen to them along the way. That’s the ultra-short version, anyway. A longer explanation would take a while.

I haven't decided on an age range yet, but I'm thinking it'll be a more mature audience due to a few dark themes within the story (rape, mostly). I have about 97 pages written up in a Word document, so I have plenty to share!

Isn't Matt Smith lovely? Are you a Doctor Who fan too?

Massively. And not purely for Matt Smith-related reasons, although he makes the whole thing more enjoyable. I really like Moffat's fairy tale angle on this series, and he seems to be a cleverer plotter than Davies. I only hope he pulls it off this week.

As much as I liked some aspects of RTD's era, I must admit that Ten was really starting to get on my nerves by the end of the specials. But I'm really liking Moffat's take on the series, and I'm eager to see what he does in the finale. Due to having dial-up, I haven't seen episode 11 yet, but I plan on downloading it tomorrow.

So, what's your novel about? And since I forgot to answer this in my previous reply, I'd love to ping-pong story ideas with you!

Have you seen the latest Who ep yet?

My novel's about a girl called Gargoyle whose evil faerie stepmother steals her voice and chucks her out of the house. Naturally she's being hit on by the prince, and naturally the stepmother is pissed because she wants the prince for her own daughter, who is thinner, prettier, and more sparkly. Turns out the prince is a bit of a twat anyway. Modern gothic faerie tale style, and safely YA. Involves lots of silly costumes.

I was drawn in by Matt Smith, ain't gonna lie.

But I stayed because we have a lot of similar interests. And I really want to know more about your novel. :)

I knew having Matt Smith as my default icon was a good idea...I'm really loving his performance in Doctor Who this season.

Random fact: I pronounce Yuoi as "You-oi", although I suppose it could be pronounced "You-o-ee" (ee as in see)

I just finished with episode 11. Oh. My. God. I love that episode with EVERYTHING in me. I've only just started to watch Doctor Who. I marathon-d it for the two weeks I didn't have internet. Haha.

Ohhh, your novel sounds quite interesting. I'd love to hear more and possibly get snippets of it in letters. How 'bout it? Oh, and here's my profile: http://community.livejournal.com/queermail/18414.html

Haven't seen episode 11 yet. but I plan on downloading it tomorrow once i get somewhere with high-speed. I happened to catch the first episode of the reboot on CBC back in 2005, and I've been hooked ever since. What do you think of the new season as compared to RTD's era?

I will certainly tell you more about it over PM and can send you bits of it in the mail - although several parts of it are due for a massive re-write.

I'm loving this season. But that could just be because of Matt Smith. I'm kind of sort of in love with him. Haha. But all in all, this season's episodes have been really awesome. The only one I didn't really like was the Beast Below. The episodes have been really keeping me in the show, you know? I don't really know what I'm saying. But yes, I like them. A lot.

Eee, that's awesome. Uhm, e-mail me your address? I'm going to the post office after work to pick up a package, so perhaps I could send out your letter right away? My email address is jackiibagley(at)gmail(dot)com.
