Migration Patterns of the Modern Vampire. It should obviously be a short story masquerading as a scientific article. Written by a bunch of scientists who stuck tracking devices in vampires to check their migration patterns, and kept getting confused by their data because no vampire can ACTUALLY fly that far that fast, at least not based on observation in the wild, and then they realized that some varieties of vampire sneak into airplanes so that no matter where they go, it is night. And some vampires have seasonal migration patterns between the northern and southern hemispheres. And so on.
I ran this idea past Ben, and he came up with the Pygmy North American Vampire. There would also obviously be a Greater European Vampire.

Ben's been sick for a couple of weeks.
Ben is also the one who checks the oil tank while doing laundry and makes sure we get heating oil on a regular basis.
We didn't realize we were almost out of oil until Thursday, and the soonest it's going to arrive is Monday, and we have been without heat since Saturday morning.
Well done us! A+ adulting.
Oh wait.
Not.

For some reason, I was thinking about the Chrestomanci books. And then I started thinking about the Harry Potter books.
And then I started thinking about a crossover fanfic between the two, where the Chrestomanci (probably Gabriel de Witt, with Christopher and Millie in disguise as 7th years, though I'd accept Christopher with Cat and Julia and Roger in tow, and possibly Janet because let's be honest, she's more-or-less a Squib) realizes how badly magic is being misused in the Harry Potter universe, and crosses over to conduct a magical audit by disguising himself as a Hogwarts professor because that's clearly the more efficient way of getting to the core of where magic is going wrong than attempting to go to the government, which is essentially useless.
Yup.
No, I'm not doing anything useful with my time. Why do you ask?

Stayed up way too late last night doodling Troll-mom (adolescent version) and Tatterhood and her sister.
( Doodles of trolls and their part-human magical mutant children like to hide under lj-cutsCollapse )
Genetic inheritance gets weird when you add magic and parents of two radically different species.
I was going for an "I'ma cut you if you mess with my sister" look with Tatterhood, and I feel pretty good about what I achieved there.
Also, here's a bit I like from the other chunk of fairy tale related NaNoing:
Her brother's face turned blotchy with rage. "You have no right to refuse me what I ask. Everything you are is what I have made of you."
The queen looked at him steadily for a moment before speaking, watching as the blotches of red slowly drained away, leaving him pale as a ghost. "My dear brother, you may have an obedient sister, or you may have a sister who is a queen, but you may not have an obedient queen. I pity you your delusion, that you thought that you might have both, but now that I am a queen I neither wish to obey nor am required to, and you will have to get used to it."

The total number of words written in that particular plot outline yesterday was 4251.
It took 3500 of those words to even get to Tatterhood's birth. Everything else has been centered around her mother.
And now that she's been born, the narrative goes to the foster child and the healer woman's daughter, not to Tatterhood herself or her sister, because they are babies and babies are mostly not very interesting.
I do not know if this will actually ever get written out as a proper story. Part of me wants it to be a graphic novel type project, but I am not currently good enough at character design and that whole arting thing to make it work. (Okay, I do have some troll designs bopping about in a sketchbook somewhere from when I was first thinking about this, but I haven't been able to make them consistent, and consistency is important.)
But damn, I have clearly been churning this through my subconscious and coming up with a heck of a lot more plot than I realized I actually had over the years.

I feel rather as if I'm cheating on the spirit of NaNoWriMo by the particular approach I'm taking to it, but if it means I'll finish for the first time ever, I'll take it.
The approach I'm taking to it is to outline/write small scenes from/do character studies about characters from all the stories I've had bopping about in my head for more than a year, which is an awful lot of stories. It feels like cheating because in no way am I writing only one story - heck, I'm not even writing stories, the outlines aren't that detailed and the fully-fledged scenes are few and far between - and it's not like I haven't been mentally hashing out these stories for years and years and years, but it's writing, and it's more than I have been doing, and that makes it good. And when this month is over I'm going to have massive swathes of text that I can generate like twenty different Scrivener documents out of and maybe, just maybe, some of these stories will get written instead of just being repeatedly churned around inside my head.
Also, I apparently have really strong feelings about my Tatterhood retelling, because I skipped forward in my list of things to outline in order to work on it today and I have written close to 3500 words, which is ridiculous.
The list of stories to be outlined this month looks something like this:
( Cut because long and also probably boring.Collapse )
YUP. Terrible stories. So many terrible stories.
But at least I'm writing.
(And now that I've written them all out and counted, that'll only be 16 Scrivener documents, not 20. Unless one of them has plot-babies.)

I get another buttload of them read, that's what happens.
I know, I know, you probably aren't here to listen to me meander about books. But the rest of my life is exceptionally uninteresting. (I mean, I could bitch about researching payroll companies for my day job and how so many of them require contact information for you to even take a look at their pricing and then they sink their teeth into you and NEVER LET GO and you're getting a phone message and three emails a week per company asking if you're sure you're not interested in their payroll services, but that gets old after a little while.)
( Put under a cut because people probably don't want to have to scroll past this giant list of books with random commentary if they're not interested in reading it.Collapse )
I think that's it for books, but some day I need to put together the rant about Betty Neels being the patron saint of "write what you know".

Oh, right, I got caught up to Liar.
39-41. Shadow and Bone, Siege and Storm, and Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo
Set in Fantasy!Russia, which is not a setting I've seen too often. This series was all kinds of wonderful. I'd finished the second book, but hadn't yet started the third when a bit of kerfuffle happened over on Leigh Bardugo's blog, with a reader accusing her of adding unnecessary lesbianism to the third book for the sake of political correctness, which mostly made me sad that the third book wasn't in the library when I went to get the second, and also made me want to plop the person who sent Leigh Bardugo that comment down in the middle of Smith College so I could time how long it took their head to explode. (For the record, I went to get the second book as soon as humanly possible after reading the first.)
42. 45 Pounds, More or Less by Kelly Barson
Mostly picked this up because Sharyn November was collecting the covers of books she'd edited in a Facebook gallery, and I'd decided to see how many I could easily find and read in the library. It hit me right in the "leftover teenaged trauma of being shorter than mom and a lot heavier" feels.
43. Going Bovine by Libba Bray
The structure was interesting. I'm still trying to decide how I feel about the contents. A decent read, I guess?
44. Keeping the Castle by Patrice Kindl
A somewhat ridiculous take on the "noble girl needs to marry for money" genre. Or rather, the main character was very aware of how ridiculous the things happening around her are.
45-47. Daughter of Smoke and Bone, Days of Blood and Starlight, and Dreams of Gods and Monsters by Laini Taylor
I'm pretty sure I've talked about the first two before, but I figured I'd group them together to talk about the series as a whole, now that I've read it all. Which... I'm not entirely sure what to say about it, to be honest. I loved some bits and was meh on others and the end of the third book left me wanting more story. I'd like to put a warning for bodily harm on the second book and a warning for "if you're a woman in a STEM field you are going to spend some part of this book enraged" on the third book. Zuzana and Mik bring me much joy.
48-49. The Raven Boys and The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater
I have no idea why I decided to start reading these books before the third one came out. Or heck, before the series ended. Really, I should have stopped and waited for the rest of them to become real books after reading the first one, but I clearly had no idea how bad the itch of UNRESOLVED PLOTLINES EVERYWHERE would get.
50. The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater
Yes please tell me more about the bloody races this small island town runs every year with people on kelpies this is wonderful.
51. Princess Academy: Palace of Stone by Shannon Hale
Kinda wish I'd re-read the original Princess Academy book before reading this one, because it's been a while. Also, this book is full of ridiculously optimistic politics.
52. Of Beast and Beauty by Stacey Jay
Science fantasy retelling of Beauty and the Beast, with the roles of Beauty and Beast somewhat reversed, with Beauty being the one who is holding the Beast captive.
53. The Mark of the Dragonfly by Jaleigh Johnson
Another book with an interesting idea (a planet that regularly gets pelted with asteroids that contain debris from other worlds), but somehow lacking heart. One of the main characters can only be described as "baby River Tam". Seriously. Every time this character opened her mouth, River Tam came out.
54. Crewel by Gennifer Albin
Cool idea (main character is recruited to be a Spinster, one of those who works the weave of the world and can thereby manipulate reality), cool enough that I started reading the second book in the series, but eventually I gave up because there was so much misogyny, both in the world and internalized by the main (female) character, and I just wasn't in the mood to deal with that shit.
55. A Long, Long Sleep by Anna Sheehan
Sci-fi retelling of Sleeping Beauty, mostly focused around her trying to cope with the changed world and also the horrible abuse that was her parents sticking her in stasis every time having her around was too much trouble. I'd heard about this book at some point in the past (I think before it came out) and had put it on my mental list of books I wanted to read, but had forgotten the name, and something reminded me of it and had me glancing over the titles in the teen section in search of it for a couple of weeks until this title popped out at me, as if to say "here's the thing you were looking for, aren't libraries magical?"
Yes, yes they are.
56. The Cats of Tanglewood Forest by Charles De Lint, illustrated by Charles Vess
One of the sort of fairy tales where every attempt to put things right makes things go a little more wrong. Also, thank you Neil Gaiman. I can never again read the name Aunt Nancy without leaping to the obvious conclusion about that character.
I've got one more photograph of library books, and then I am done with this lengthy recounting of library books read since last I posted regularly. Until I decide to recount the e-books read in that time period, which includes an awful lot of Georgette Heyer.

23. Chicks with Sticks: It's a Purl Thing by Elizabeth Lenhard
Teenaged girls deal with being teenaged girls through the medium of knitting. Meh?
24. Scumble by Ingrid Law
Yes, life sure is fun when the superpower you get at puberty is accidentally exploding mechanical things.
25. Ask the Passengers by A.S. King
So far I have enjoyed everything I've read by A.S. King. This book hit home a little more than some of the others, because small conservative town + probably a lesbian + high school = experience similar to the small conservative town + atheist + high school shit that I had to deal with, and also makes me really glad I didn't realize I was bisexual until Smith.
26. Star of Kazan by Eva Ibbotson
Baby is abandoned on mountain, discovered by two maids who live with three eccentric professor siblings, grows up a bit, gets paid to read to her neighbor's dying grandmother, inherits costume jewelry from said dying grandmother who used to be an actress and sold all the original pieces of jewelry when the acting no longer paid. Then, out of the blue, her mother shows up to claim her... All right as a book, a bit slow-moving, especially when you've already figured out the plot points and are waiting for the main character to catch up.
27. The Bermudez Triangle by Maureen Johnson
Things get a little awkward for three highschool girls when one of them leaves for the summer to go to a pre-college camp thing and the other two start dating each other while she's gone. Yep. Enjoyable read, liked having a non-white main character and a depiction of how weird sexuality is when you're first figuring it out.
28. Chime by Franny Billingsley
This was hard to read, because the main character does not like herself very much in very realistic ways that are a lot like what being in my own head is like. That said, I enjoyed the setting quite a bit and the book was good. Just hard to read.
29. Everybody Sees the Ants by A.S. King
This book was really good at blurring the line between imagination and reality, and it was weird and funny and sad and truthful and... yeah.
30. Reality Boy by A.S. King
Things you never want to be: a teenaged boy who was on a reality TV show as a small child and has forevermore been branded as the Pooper. Also your oldest sister is a psychopath and your mother never really wanted any children after her, but went on to have two more and your father is just sort of drifting through life, hoping things will get better, and your middle sister skipped out of town and got as far away as possible from this train wreck as soon as possible. NOW LIVE A LIFE.
31. A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray
I liked this more than I thought I would, but I'm surprisingly uninterested in reading any of the sequels.
32. The Impossible Knife of Memory by Laurie Halse Anderson
This was good. This was also hard to read, on an emotional level, because it made me feel all the things.
33. Divergent by Veronica Roth
...meh? Like, I can't care enough about this book to have a strong opinion one way or the other.
34. Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi
Girl lives in a dome that protects her from the savage world outside, until she gets banished. Boy is the brother of a chieftain who has been banished from his tribe because he failed to keep his nephew from being kidnapped. They try to find solutions to their problems together. Also, I was over this book from the moment the boy decided the girl smelled of violets after she started her period for the first time ever. NOPE.
35. The Chaos of the Stars by Kiersten White
CHILD YOU ARE THE MORTAL OFFSPRING OF EGYPTIAN GODS HOW DO YOU NOT NOTICE WHEN THE MORTAL OFFSPRING OF GREEK GODS GETS ALL UP IN YOUR GRILL NO SERIOUSLY THEIR HOUSE LOOKS LIKE THE PARTHENON AND HIS MOM KEEPS A BUST OF HERSELF IN THE MAIN HALLWAY IT SHOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN YOU THE ENTIRE BOOK TO REALIZE THIS.
36. The False Princess by Eilis O'Neal
It's like a game of Three Card Monte! Except with fake princesses.
37. The Frog Princess by E.D. Baker
Princess and the Frog type story. First in a series. Meant to pick up more of them, couldn't be bothered.
38. Liar by Justine Larbalestier
Dear god this book has the unreliable narrator to end all unreliable narrators and I loved it and hated it all at the same time and what is even happening to me when did werewolves what.
And that's it for this chunk.
