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. ^^

Personally, and from what I've seen of your comments pages I am not alone, I think you are very good at writing Drizzt. Or at least, Drizzt in way that makes him more realistic and actually - likable. I was reading another fic and left a comment something like, "I didn't really LIKE her as a character, but that is what made me like her MORE". Which probably confused the author, but but makes sense to me XD The fact that the character had layers made them more intriguing, even if you weren't always cheering for them. Probably why so many people actually like characters like Jarlaxle, Zak and Artemis more than RAS' Drizzt. They are given conflict and layers, Drizzt just gets angst.

So, your CB will probably be quite awesome <3

OMG THIS IS SOUNDING AWESOME. And I agree with your other commenter in that I really enjoy how you write Drizzt. He acts more like his age, for one thing, rather than the grand sage of the ages. And Zak really needs to slag him for that at least once:D And OMG writing the scene with CB will be great--not because I like her, but because the more people that find out about Zak/Artemis, the more hilarious it will be. At least to me:) And while she might not have much character of her own, she's a very good 'soundingboard' character, because Drizzt always expresses his opinions to her in full.

...suddenly I feel very sorry for her. ;P
