scarletmorning: (Happy Franz)
I've already finished the entry for the next contest. :D It still needs editing but apart from that everything's fine. Mostly.

I'm already thinking about the special contest; the Mary Sue/ Gary Stu one. I think I do want to write some kind of parody. I mean, most of the time the Mary Sues are ridiculous and cause ridiculous events. And it would be great to write a completely weird, obnoxious and self-centered Mary Sue who meets canon characters. CANON characters who, you know, act like they do in the game. And not praise and kiss the ground the Mary Sue is walking on. Buuuuuuuut. I am not completely in the mood to write something like that. Secondly, I probably would choose the Tactician-thingie and would have to play FE7 again although I just downloaded Yggdra Union 2 and only want to play that. And thirdly, I absolutely can not write weird, obnoxious and self-centered characters. I already have problems with rather weird characters as L'Arachel and Serra (and I am not saying that they're Mary Sues. They're just.... strenuous to write). Then how can I write such a Mary Sue? I think I could manage a Anti-Sue but that would not fit the idea and is boooooring. Fortunately, I still have plenty of time. :D

And before I forget it; the Lyon one-shot is almost finished. There are still some difficulties with the wording and stuff (I can no longer write in English properly DD: ) Maybe someone can help me with this sentence:

Does "But he would not go before he heard his promise." really mean that he will wait until he [Lyon] said his promise? Because it confuses meeee D: . In German you could use two variants to express this and it confuses me. (And is the tense right? God, the more I look at it, the more insecure I get.)
