Light at the end of the tunnel

Sudden flash of creativity last night. An idea presented itself, and it looks like KS is going to take a turn I really didn't expect. Looks like it might almost get something like a plot (yes, in chapter 12 ... which is not surprising, since I'm not all that interested in plots). I managed to write an additional 500 words just now, but since I haven't decided yet in what order the scenes I've written and the ones I'm thinking about are going to happen, half of what I've written so far might just end up in a later chapter. The new turn of events will force me to have Drizzt find out much earlier just how close Artemis and Zak really are, and I have been looking forward to writing that scene ever since I started the story. However, first I will have to write a scene with Artemis, Zak, Drizzt and CB, which is going to be a pain because 1) I'm no good at scenes with many people (i.e. more than two), 2) I hate to write Drizzt, 3) I have no idea how to write CB without shameless character bashing. She deserves it, but I don't want to overdo it either. Still, things are moving forward again. ^^

Glad to hear so.

I also strongly believe that angst is not character development. Whereas you are giving him a personality and therefore a chance to develop as a character. Even if you don't like him! Personally I think you'd write a rather amazing Drizzt fic if you ever wanted to torture yourself! You could help him get a life! XD Or perhaps Kimmuriel could just screw around with his head? :D

I like what you said below about Zak becoming upset with Drizzt slagging off his Artemis *squee* Will be fun as we only really got to see "Argh, this is uncomfortable"!Zak last chapter XD

Somehow I doubt that I will make Drizzt develop as a character, simply because I dislike him so much that I doubt that he's capable of getting over his narrow-mindedness. Although I like the idea of Drizzt getting a life ... after Kimmuriel brain-washed him. I SERIOUSLY like the idea. Thank you. ^^ I have no idea if it will fit anywhere into the story, but I will keep it in mind. ;)

True. ^^ I like Zak being protective about his Artemis (and the other way around). Drizzt is in for quite a few surprises.
