IDOS's Ideas, And works in progress

[I Dream of Sleep]

Beauty and the Beast
There's a beauty and beast in everybody
Esme: Is a Beauty because she's so innocent and childlike. Is a Beast because she's experiencing lust...and a lot of it.
Rene: Is a Beauty because he's protective, charming, nice, and loves Esme. Is a Beast because he lusts after her, and is jealous of Prince.
Prince (real name TBD): Is a Beauty because he once was poor and ugly, and is compassionate, loving, gentle, quiet, &c. Is a Beast because he lusts after Esme, Child, Aude, and pretty much every female in the kingdom.
Aude: Is a Beauty because she wants to marry the Prince to help her grandmother. Is a Beast, well, because she's a "witch." *cough* If you know what I mean.
Child: Is a Beauty because she loves her family and Rene with a compassionate, mushy-gushy kind'a love. Is a Beast because she's jealous of Esme and Aude, I guess, in a way.

It really should be titled something more obvious.

Mwahaha. Such ambition. XD

(No, really, i'm jealous. I'm having a hard time keeping track of ONE story, let alone two or three others.)

[I Dream of Sleep]

I think I have too much ambition. :B
(All of them are in various stages... some of them are just ideas... just get these off my mind so I can focus a li'l better)

[WyndiWingfall]

Wow. XD I usually concentrate on one story at a time. That, of course, leads me to get bored of it and start writing extremely substandard poems.

I admire your courage.

(And do NOT, under any circumstances, call it "Love and Lust." I realize this sounds extremely arrogant of me, but that is a very...cliche title.)

[zookie]

Unfortunately, "Beauty and the Beast" isn't much better. Maybe you should go check out that Titles thread we've got around here somewhere. Or you could do a poll for a title. *nod*

[WyndiWingfall]

I liked "Beauty and the Beast." The title throws people off a little, because people usually think of a fairytale-ish story when they hear such a title. Instead, the meaning is much deeper.

[I Dream of Sleep]

(I dunno. It's kind of those filler titles, the kind you writer right away just so you know what you're dealing with)

[zookie]

You know what i hate? When you put in a filler title and then can never think of a better one and end up suing the filler title by default even though you know it doesn't really fit.

[I Dream of Sleep]

I never do that. I just sit and let the story stew in its own filth until I find a good title.

But by then, usually the filler title grows on me so I use it anyways.

[WyndiWingfall]

I tend to change the stories of my titles a lot...They tend to get progressively better.

I can never think of good titles right away. >.<

[JesanaeTekani]

I usually end up picking a random title that sounds cool, and then somehow linking it in to the story without meaning to. Why this works for me, I'm never sure.

[I Dream of Sleep]

I wish I had such great talent. :C

[WyndiWingfall]

Such skill. I am definitely envious.

[JesanaeTekani]

I wouldn't really call it skill . . . more like dumb luck. Or else some weird subconscious thing that I don't understand. But definitely not skill.

[I Dream of Sleep]

Stop being so modest.
I think it's skill.

[zookie]

I agree. *fervent nods*

...*ahem* HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!! *glomp*

[I Dream of Sleep]

AAAH
I FORGOT ABOUT MY PROJECTS.
and now I've completely lost every idea I had...and I run across this.
Thank goodness for forums :>

[zookie]

Ahahaha. My writing muse has eloped with my drawing muse. The one time they cooperate, and it's to leave me. *sigh*
