Unfortunately not another miracle ... yet

First, the interesting part. I posted the prologue of a new fanfic called Secret Intimacy. It’s about Rizzen and Dinin. It won’t be slashy immediately, but soon … Yay, more slashy Do’Urden incest! ;) I see it as a kind of companion piece to The Seduction of Innocence (to which I still haven’t written the epilogue, bad Linn …). I wanted to compare the two only father-son-relationships in canon, Zaknafein and Drizzt on the one hand, and Rizzen and Dinin on the other. Okay, there’s also Rizzen and Nalfein, but we don’t know anything about them (although Nalfein might appear in Secret Intimacy, but I don’t know about that yet). The only thing we know about Rizzen and Dinin is that in Homeland Rizzen seems to be very proud of his son, in an almost … human way. Zak and Drizzt, however, are most of the time convinced that the other one is an evil hypocrite, and they usually think about killing each other. I liked the idea that two more typical, “evil” drow might have a much closer and happier relationship than the two “good” guys. That’s also why Secret Intimacy is going to be a happier, less disturbing story than The Seduction of Innocence. So, even people who didn’t like my Zak/Drizzt-story might like this. Give it a try. ^^

As for Kindred Spirits … I’m still working on chapter eleven. There are two scenes in the chapter; the first one is as good as finished, but the second one (which will be longer and much more important) is very hard to write. I’m a bit stuck and don’t really know what to do, but I got a couple of new ideas a few days ago, so maybe I’ll finally manage.

I’ve also decided that the next scene of Anger will be about Dantrag Baenre, and I already have a few ideas. Yay for Dantrag! Gotta love him.

Now, the less interesting part, I.e. my real life … Just in case anyone wants to know, I’m back in Berlin. I decided to drop out of my course in Paris a month ago because … well, mainly because the course I was in was extremely stressful and difficult, and the reasons I had once had to go through that weren’t really valid anymore. I had no motivation to continue and I felt terrible most of the time, and it’s a difficult course in which you can only succeed if you really work a lot for it. So, I decided that it was better to stop … although I know that it was probably not the most reasonable thing I’ve ever done in my life. Anyway, I’ll just continue my studies here in Berlin, as soon as possible. Can’t possibly be worse.

What you're back in berlin? That's cool, even if the reason behind it seems a bit depressing. I really hope that your decision will work out all right then.
Now that I'm actually though with my own studies I wish I had them back, because the job situation here is a bit daunting right now.

He, and now that I've read your newest writing I must say Rizzen actually starts to be a very vulnerable but at the same time quite likeable character just because of the way you portray him :) I'm really wondering how Dinin might turn out seen from your eyes.

Yep, I'm back. ^^ You wanna meet for a coffee one of these days? Then we could talk more about studies and jobs and other stuff. ^^

Thank you. I know that Rizzen is not exactly the most likeable character in canon, but you know how I love to take neglected characters and turn them into more than they were in canon. I'm glad you're interested so far. I'd be even happier if I got a review, but hey, I always say that to everyone. ;)

Coffeeee! Yes definitely! I'm free the next few days :) Tell me when and then we can moan to each other about the badness of life *g*
