Also, my work is just too randomized to say I'll do this, that or the other thing. Wholly unpredictable.

Survey I stole from Emmaaaaa.
~

~

1. Do you create different worlds/series for your characters or do you put them all/most of them in the same time and place?

Different eras of time, but usually all in the same world/place.

2. Do you sit down and create random facts about these worlds that have nothing to do with the story line? (History, biology, zoology etc.)

Oh yeah.
Oh yeah, there's waaaaaay a whole lot of things like that I made up about Falfet instead of socializing.

3. Do you have a plot line? If yes, do tell.
Um. Ohgawd, okay.

In the world there are people called mages able to craft the physical properties of the space around them. One such mage in an unknown manner was born to manifest her gifts literally--trapping her in a world that is her own mind incarnate, in which all of her thoughts, dreams and feelings become corporeal.

But in a ransacking of this world for its abhorrently bizarre nature, the life-core of it was split into pieces and the girl sealed in an icy slumber beneath the earth, her pain torn away into a self-created alternate dimension. The stragglers of her dreamworld climb north and settle a small village, trying to eke out a survival in the frozen wasteland as dark bringers of plague crawl through the seams for their lives.

Then, one day a mage named Cai happens to be the first to fall through the Veil into the heart of Jyera's sleep, and wakes her totally by accident. As soon as this is done, so too does the other world wake, and the race to uncover the lost secrets of Falfet begins...

4. Do you give a name to your series?
I tried. "Falfeti".

5. Is your series dramatic, romantic, mysterious, exciting or similar to your own life?
Uh... definitely dramatic, veeeeeeeeeeery faintly romantic at one or two parts, exceedingly mysterious, -hopefully- of some excitement... Absolutely nothing like my life except in its beginnings as an extended metaphor.

6. Have you got characters that live in "our" world?
Not really. The outside world kind of symbolizes ours, and that's where Cai is from.

7. When you go to sleep, do you often let your thoughts slip into your worlds? How often does this happen?
Not usually when I sleep. Although I steal the ambience from my sleep for it.

8. Do you share your world or your characters with anyone else?
Yeah I get kind of excited when someone says "hay I love fantasy stories and I have two hours to burn, shoot". God I'm obnoxious.

9. Do you have friends that would rather not hear about this world of yours?
...yeeeeeeeeeeeahnonotreallymaybe? I always feel like it takes too long to talk about and is not very interesting.

10. Is your world a place you go to when you're bored?
Bored, sad, mildly entertained, creative, hellzyeah.

11. Do you find yourself in this world more often than in the real world?
...

Y yes.

12. Have your relatives been worried about you because of your love for you world?
No lul. They encourage me to write it moar.

13. Do you bother to write down the stories you make before the idea runs away?
I try. It's difficult these days.

14. Have you found or remembered stories you created years back and then laughed or cried because it was so childish?
Yes omfg. I tossed out my first fantasy world that way. Funny enough, biggest mistake of my life. I knew what I was doing, damn. I stole what I remembered back and use it as Old Falfet, because it is. It really is a lost world, lul...

15. Ever found yourself losing the grip of a film because you started thinking about your world in stead?
Yyyyyyep.

16. Have you ever paired up some of your own characters that are not canon just to make it "hot"?
Never. :V I had someone try to do that and I just said, "...No."
Do not want cheapie fanservice.

17. Do you have more homosexual, bisexual or heterosexual characters?
If any damned one of them is sexual at all I'm thinking mostly hetero, although I leave the two townspeople-characters Arminda and Selev open for interpretation. I'd had that in mind actually.

18. Do you have more female or male characters?
Female omfg.

19. Do you have more human (normal people, mutants, centaurs, mermaids etc), animal (normal animals, anthros etc), vegetable (trees, tree people), mineral (rocks?), extra terrestrial or other characters?
Huuuuuman. Elfy, dreamerlies, human, No-Eyes, etc.

20. Name the characters that are most similar to your personality.
This is tough since I kinda bring out my personality minorities in some of my characters. Definitely some parts Qam, Sanvai and Anti, but Jyera had her beginnings in me.

21. Name the characters that are the least similar to your personality.
Cai, lawl. And Anti at the same time as being like me.

22. Name the characters that look the most like you.
Jyera. D:

23. Name the characters that look the least like you.
...Qam

24. Name a few characters that you have "deleted" from existence.
About half the original Falfetian pantheon, and two new people, one of whom I attempted to use; Etruvian and Arjiv. Etruvian was a third No-Eyes who had no personality and therefore didn't stick. Watch her show up again fully developed somewhere. Arjiv was just cute.

25. Name your first character.
Ohgod I have no idea. D: Jyera's the oldest of the bunch, but still.

26. Do you still write about/draw/think about him or her or it?
No because she was probably a mermaid I made up in 4th grade or something ffff.

27. Have you ever created your own species? Tell me about it.
Yupyupyup. Armored Dragonflies, Pafi or some such thing, Dreamerlies, No-Eyes, Spores, Skulks, Slyiths... I have a compendium stfu.

28. Do you have a world you created "just for the heck of it"? Tell me about it.
I thought that's kinda what this was. D:

29. Do you have characters nobody knows about? Is this because you don't want people to know or is it just like that?
Etruvian. Because I never used her.

30. Ever wanted to create something, but realised it would be too much alike to something that already exists? Did you still keep the world?
Not really. If I think that and I can't get around it, I close my eyes and let it be.

31. A Mary Sue (MS) is a fictional character who is "perfect" in every way. She's gorgeous, she's friends with everyone, everyone has a crush on her, and her only enemies are the girls who are jealous of her looks. Mainly exists in fanfiction. Tell me, if you have one of these, and when you realised she was a Mary Sue.
-I took a quiz that had questions that were tough as hell to answer out of context and Jyera came back iffy. But then, some of it is odd because her world is self-made. She's not a god, she can't do anything outside of Falfet. She can't really control what she does -in- it. So in a sense I feel she trumps Suedom because it's all in her head.

32. Have you ever created an Anti-Sue? Tell me about it.
Uh... no. Pretty sure I haven't. :V

33. Have anyone critiqued your world so far? How did you react?
Yup yup yup. I usually react well, I just hate realizing that there might be clarity issues or gaping plot holes.

34. Have anyone told you how good your world is and encouraged you to keep it up?
>< Yes... I need to trust them more. And keep the universe turning.

35. Have you got high hopes about your world? Cartoon, comics, movies, radio shows?
Published novel. If it becomes anything else I want to oversee it. I'm told it would make an astounding video game.

36. Do you wish you lived in your world?
Depends. If I'm not the one chained to a lightless prison or the one trying to fight off toxic viral organisms in an Arctic wasteland, sure. Can I be the one with all the powers?...owait

37. Do you exist in your world as a main character, a main character's friend/parent/child, or the lunch lady?
I used to use Jyera as a self-insert. Now I'm kind of dispersed into all their personalities. My two main girls especially.

38. What part of your world are you currently working on? Tell me about it! What's going on in your world right now?
WRITING THE BLOODY THING DOWN. Also I just visit random events from it as though it were currently happening.

39. Tell me about a gap in your storyline you need to fix so badly.
Between the beginning and the first scene with Cai, the early meetings with Jyera and clarifying the beginning journey, Anti's advances, the crescendo area where stuff is realized, the flashbacks, and the end.

40. Is your story focused on something? Religion, music, clothes and make-up, Mother Nature, personal views or...?
Oh, it's a Freudian sinkhole. Definitely psychology based.

41. Name some of your characters that have the direct opposite point of view as you on a topic.
Sanvai and Anti a bit. Qam is just a giggling child.

42. How much details do you put into your characters' personalities and looks?
TONS into looks. It's a very visual fantasy world. But personality is critical to pulling off a psychological allegory.

43. More storytelling than characters or more characters than storytelling?
I'm striving for both. At the moment they seem to cancel out each other's weaknesses; plot is a tank but it barely written down, personality is subject to constant scrutiny but drives the plot.

44. Is there a moral behind anything in your world?
Dreams and nightmares; the will of the subconscious; fear, denial and wrath; psychological unity, diversity and personal healing; the bridge between self and other.

45. Is it easier to create a new place than to place your characters in a place you've never been to before, let's say a place in England, America, Italy etc?
New place holyshiz- not that I don't do my homework, I just trust my brain more.

46. Do you sometimes pretend your characters are real just for a brief second of loneliness?
They're not real? D:
*shot*

Though in reality there's something tangible enough about them that their forms are just part of me. I dunno.

47. Ever taken cover behind your characters and let them do the talking?
...Kinda? I based Sanvai off a hard-faced, stern affect I used to adopt to defend myself emotionally in random confrontations. But she's much more than that now.

48. Ever had a discussion with your characters?
No, I let them talk amongst themselves as me. XD

49. Ever killed a character you really really liked?
Oh yeah. >o This world's not kind to them.

50. If you could be in your world for 24 hours, what would you do?
Er... play in the forest and go swimming in those trippy springs. I'd be afraid to see the rest.

Slowly but surely. o___o; I don't want to jinx it though. I gave up on going in order. 8B So none of these are going to make sense, most likely. And not all of them will necessarily be plot-locomotive; as per its eventual goal as a novel, sometimes what I write will just be... a scene. Transitional, or non-action; just like when you'd turn to a random page in a book and whammo, whatever's going on there. It isn't necessarily an earth-shaking plot movement, but it's STUFF.

Anyway, tl;dr I have splurts of Falfeti. :3

I want to paint...

Well, I have good news and bad news. The good news is I'm making artz. :3 ...The bad news is the death of my computer some months ago has restricted my means of scanning and uploading.

But I have been sketching, madly, and playing with lots of new ideas. To boot, I've begun to paint again--hopefully, regularly. I have to say, watercolors are my favorite medium for color. \(O_o)/ I just do my best job with them it seems. And it's pleasant work.

Writing is a little slower. I have tidbits of -something-, though. I'm just doing whatever; story romps through Old Falfet and trippy aftermath sequences in the New.

I want more poems to come out. I'm planning on at least one soon. :B
~

Now, tied to this upsurge in activity is the glory of life. I am RETURNED! I live again. T^T I got out of a bad situation and though the daily life is still strained at times, it's much better than it was--hospitalizations and breakdowns and such.

And I have a <3erly guardianangelfish to help me through it all, and to inspire me.

^^ Expect painted Scions and symbols and things. :0 For this, I want to do. I'm painting drafts of Scion III, but she looks funny. I don't have my color scheme quiiiite right. :B

COMPLETE AND UTTER CRAP PHASE.

I've barely been writing, barely been drawing... barely been doing anything, really. Sigh sigh sigh these long stories.

Even Tegaki, which has the habit of overshadowing my dA account, has stagnated for about a month.

In part because the DAMNED TABLET PEN is lost again. Lousy wily piece 'o conniving grey plastic.

But. Lah. Hiatus on everything. D: If there's a way out, poke me with it. I'll otherwise be spending my time being a strung-out senior and student of the age of no sleep.

Well hay, I've been at deviantart for two years now. How time flies. O_O
