Mistress Elysia wrote a new blog: "The Crimson Void - Prelude".I wrote this as an accompaniment to The Crimson Void (which I actually stole the title for - this piece was the original Crimson Void, but I needed a working title, so I nicked it...) where I began exploring what happened to James Penderson. It is a ...
- 1 day agoMistress Elysia wrote a new blog: "The Crimson Void - Chapter 3".
Jeez, this takes a long time to type up... I am hoping the ending of this chapter isn't too cheesy - I am aiming for tense, but am worried I have over-cooked it a bit. Still also fighting those dreaded passive phrases and overuse of 'ing' ...

"ColinTW" commented on Mistress Elysia's Blog "The Crimson Void (Working Title) Chapter 1".Yes. It works. I think it's very good - but then you know I'm a fan of your writing. I was drawn in and I wanted to keep reading. I thought the way you gently released information about the characters as the story progressed was elegant. You gave me ...

About
Mistress Elysia is a dual-purpose entity; one half is vaguely literate and artistic, the other, a drooling, giggling fangirl with a penchant for big, manly warrior types being big, manly and warrior-ly (what? It's a word...).
When she is not getting caught up in ridiculously long plotlines and beating her muse with various items of cutlery for trying to turn everything she writes into smutty filth / reminding her after she's published a new chapter of the glaring plotholes she oh-so intended to address / for failing to realise that 'S' is quite close to 'D' on the keyboard, thus making it look like she can't sort her tenses out, she likes to draw inappropriate pictures of various characters (usually wearing completely unfeasably skimpy armour. She can't help it. It's habit now.), roleplay and generally procrastinate until she realises that, oh crap, she is supposed to be an English teacher and therefore should get some marking done.
She is also responsible for the Fade NPC mod for Baldur's Gate: SoA. One day, when she isn't sick of the sight of dialogue blocks, feisty redheaded fey'ri rogues or ex-gods called Bhaal, she might even finish it...
