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. ^^

Thank you. ^^ And Zak will definitely slag the Drizzit at some point. ;) You're right, CB comes in very handy when you want to write about Drizzt's thoughts. In the scene I'm working on now they won't find out about Zak/Artemis yet, but they will soon enough ... Bwahaha. You're right, the more people know the more hilarious it will be. I have every intention of writing a short Zak&Ryld reunion much later in the story (since I always think of Ryld as Zak's student, for some reason ;)). And I'm sure Ryld will be very surprised if Zak rejects him because he's being exclusive with someone, and a human on top of that. Hehe.
Still, writing CB is annoying, even if the whole bitching is a lot of fun. I only feel sorry for Artemis.

Yay! The Drizzit needs it:P

Who is Ryld? One of the characters from the War of the Spiderqueen series?

Yes, he's a Master at Melee-Magthere and one of the main characters in War of the Spider Queen. He's a commoner and surprisingly nice for a drow, but not really "good" either. Like Zak, he's more the kind of person who does what they have to do without liking it. Not to mention that he is a great fighter. For some reason I always imagined that Zaknafein might have been one of Ryld's teachers at the Academy. Canon never even hints to that, but Ryld and Zak have a lot of things in common, they'd get along perfectly. I can easily see them having a rather close mentor-student-relationship.

And don't worry, Zak will be very annoyed by Drizzt very soon. He doesn't like it when people are bitchy to HIS Artemis. ^^
