We’re in the Final Stretch

*dances around*

 

Finished Chapter 7 of Evolution!!!! Despite the extras Bob tossed in! Hah! *eyes evil bunny*

This particular Arc has been a long ass journey.  Between RL and Bob, it’s been started, stopped, started, reworked, additions added, re-started and finally now close to finishing!

 

For a thanks for sticking by me:

 

Tony stood up next to his brother; “We’ll discuss this later.”

 Speed just grinned over at him. “You complained dad didn’t take you on the Vatican adventure.  Admit it you haven’t had this much fun in years.”

 “We will for sure be discussing this later.” They looked over their shoulders to see Jethro and Horatio glaring at the both of them.

Sylum Question and Answer: #6

Q: Are there really dragons? Where are they located? How are they kept hidden from the world?

 

Yes.

 

To quote Captain Lennox: “My inner five year old is going Oh My God it’s a Fucking Dragon!”

 

As how they are kept hidden, depends on the dragon and location.  It’s easier to hide a Tiny Terror in the tall grasses of Africa, a Mushu in the bamboo forests, or a Night Fury in the dark skies above Norway.

Sylum Question and Answer: #5

Q: In future arcs, why is Nick dressed as though he belongs in the Old West? How are there Old West stories in the future arcs of Sylum?

 

Ahh I see someone was studying the Coming Soon Video.  That particular storyline is still in the works, Bob has been fidgety with it.  The major thing I will say on it – there is a time in everyone’s life that they will seek the simpler times in life.

 

Bob 2 – AMEN!

Sylum Question and Answer: #4

Q: Are all Rogues considered to be evil/bad/etc or are there some that are recognized as just wanting to live alone and who have no intention of breaking the “rules”?

 

A Rogue is defined as someone that lives outside the Clan System.  Even if you really don’t want to be part of a Clan you need to associate with one for your protection.  There are members of Clans that have sworn their loyalty but are left alone and not called up on if something where to happen.

Bob 2 says – those who live outside the ‘rules’ as it were, are by their nature rebellious although there are those who eventually find their way to a Clan there will always be those who desire to be different and their inability or unwillingness to understand the correct ways of Vampire society will always make them instantly suspicious.

Sylum Question and Answer: #3

Q: How many stories do you have planned to take place throughout Sylum’s timeline? [including backtracking to fill things in]

 

As many as Evil Bob and Bob 2 keep tossing at us.

 

*eyes extremely long list of stories to complete*

 

We’ll be at this for a while….

Sylum Question and Answer: #2

Q: How many major story arcs do you have planned for after Evolution?

The Wiki I think has seven listed, but at the moment there have been many changes made dealing with future arcs. The next Arc is actually 3 combined into one. After that there are at least 4 maybe… eyes Bob. Actually just recently an idea popped up on how to end the series, though there is a lot of story before that moment, and let’s not forget the fact there’s 7000 years of history prior to Clan War still to deal with.

Bob 2 says – there could be more in the past then even that!

Sylum Question and Answer: #1

Through August I took questions that you would like to see answered.  Over the next few weeks I’ll be posting the Question and my Answers (look for Evil Bob 2 comments throughout)

Feel free to discuss/comment.

 

Q: I had a bunny attack me with a Sylum fic (which I could not begin to write) a while back, Tony has problems dealing with having to dust a rouge who just happens to be another Templar Knight.

 

A: Technically this wasn’t a question, but I’ll go ahead and answer the concept of the idea.  Antonio Crisafi is the last Templar Knight, there are no others.

 

Ezio Auditore da Firenze has made sure of it, leaving only his Sire.

Glares at Bob

While working diligantly on Evolution Chapter 7 – Bob decided to be a twit and toss in a few new things that I wasn’t expecting.

*glares*

The evil cackling I’m hearing from him is not encouraging.

*headdesk*

Still working on Chapter 7 – matter of fact down to the last major scene (though a difficult and complex to write).  Even with the new addition – I’m happy with the progress.

*eyes bunny*

 

The Plot Crab Has Left the Building

So I see Bob posted *eyes the bunny* and mentioned the plot crab leaving his summer job from Disneyland.

After a recent trip to Disneyland I noticed that wait shocking the Plot Crab was actually missing from the Pirate’s Ride.

With Plot Crab

 

Without Plot Crab

 

So where is Plot Crab – it’s to early for Crab Season.

Which means he’s lurking in the house.

*Cue scary music*

A Finished Chapter

So Bj is screeching around that she finished Chapter 6 of Evolution.  *eyeroll* as if she couldn’t have done it without me.

Anyway! She only has Chapter 7 & 8 to go, and basically gave me a challenge to ‘bring it on’.  Well at least I’m not going to be so evil that I’ll add chapters to Evolution.  Mainly because I’m looking forward to tormenting her with the next Arc *cackles evilly*, but doesn’t mean I’m going to toss a few side bunnies her way.

*looks over bunny pen*

Hmm lets see there’s the Italian – wait he’s still go his main story in the works and Bob 2 may actually try and kill me if I make him work with Dan Brown much longer

Ohh there are some Vegas bunnies running a casino in the living room *picks one up and grins* I’ll set this one loose.

*watches bunny run off to play*

Oh and it looks like the Plot Crab has come home from his summer job at Disneyland and he looks like he’s brought a few friends.

Release the Crabs!!!

*shifty eye* No that wasn’t said in a brogue accent!

HA! That should keep her busy for a while!! Teach her to challenge me!

 

 

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

 

Yeah most wouldn’t think this would be any good.  And I admit that well I wasn’t that interested, but then I found the book on sale and said okay – its Civil War History and Vampires – two of my favorite things.

So I thought – lets give it a try.

And shocked as I was I actually enjoyed the book.  There was some moments of OMG Really?  And the author did insert himself into the story which had me rolling my eyes at the beginning.  And he pulled a Dan Brown by using ‘facts’ and real places/people to give the book a feel of reality instead of fantasy.  Cause hello Vampire Hunter!  But once you got into the story it kept you interested and intrigued to find out how all of this would play out through Lincoln’s life, the Civil War and his Presidency.

The ending made me *blink* and I won’t give it away for those who are still interested in reading it.

Now after reading it I was interested in seeing the movie.  Despite the giggling moments of every time Lincoln called his friend Speed – yes folks the character’s last name was Speed.  I giggled a lot.  The movie was very good – had some really dramatic scenes, some headdesking moments, and there are still a OMG Seriously moments.

Overall – worth the read and worth seeing the movie.

There are some major differences between the book/movie with all adaptations – but both still hold their own.

As for Sylum if you’ve read ‘Under the Oak Tree’ you will know how this will play into the series. But I’ll leave you with an image – so you can speculate of things to come.

PS: The music – very inspiring.
