Haunted

SPOILER WARNING for anyone who hasn't read Mortal Coil. Look away now.

Just a quick note to say that the Halloween story will be appearing as soon as I've finished it. HOPEFULLY that will be tonight, but it might be tomorrow, and appear on Halloween itself. I have to say, it feels good to be writing about Tanith once again, even if she IS ever so slightly evil...

SPOILER OVER

And speaking of Halloween, look at the desktop thingy you can download. Yay desktop thingies!





In keeping with the general creepiness of the season, may I also direct your attention to Haunted, a compilation of ghost stories by various writers, of which I am one. It's out now, and as part of the promotion, the writers are appearing as guests on various blogs around blogland. I had the good fortune of writing a piece for the Bookwitch, which can be found here:

Octa said...

Hehe. Everyone's ignored the Gryffindors.

Poor Gryffindor's.

How does it feel to be ignored?

Eve the ROCK said...

Yeah, and you rupture from our awesomeness.

Gabriel said...

Because no one in Gryffindor is here..

Eve the ROCK said...

There's a Gryffindor!

*points to Lion King DVD*

Get'im!

Nixion Strange said...

Oh please. Hufflepuffeans try and destroy our awesomeness, but then we just shoot them and get a grotesquery to kill them.

Eve the ROCK said...

Commented!

Zathract Mist said...

*frowns*

The "M ist" thing was perposeful. The font doesn't show the "i".
*growls*
Why doesn't it work on iPod?

Zathract Mist said...

*purposeful

Eve the ROCK said...

Oh, okay. :)

:)

:)

Zathract Mist said...

*laughs at Futurama episode*

Eve the ROCK said...

Which one is it?

Zathract Mist said...

What?! What?!
I have to get off at 9:30! In ten minutes! WHY?!

Zathract Mist said...

The one where Kif gets pregnant.

Eve the ROCK said...

And that's it for the night? :(

Eve the ROCK said...

Oh, that one. :D

Zathract Mist said...

Never mind, I have until ten thirty. :D

*hugs her*

Eve the ROCK said...

Yay. :)

*hugs him back*

Zathract Mist said...

*sighs*

I don't actually know what to do...

Eve the ROCK said...

What do you mean?

Zathract Mist said...

I- Oh, wait, never mind. I'll just write Battle for Blogland.

*flops down on couch*

Eve the ROCK said...

*doesnt know if self was already sitting down*

*shrugs and sits next to Mist*

You're always doing something while you're talking. I need a hobby.

Zathract Mist said...

Hmm...How about...

WRITING! :D

Eve the ROCK said...

I'll...I'll try...like, right now...

...


....NOW!!

Eve the ROCK said...

...Mist, do you still have the profile I gave you for Drucilla Nox?

Zathract Mist said...

Yes! Hang on...

Zathract Mist said...

Name: Drucilla Nox
Magic: Adept

Drucilla Nox has enhanced vision. She can see exceptionally clearly at night and in dark places, and in the day she can see things from great distances, and can spot the tiniest details. Incidentally, this makes her exceedingly expert at Spot-the-Difference.

Appearance: She has long shiny black hair and startling grey eyes and pale skin, creeps people out a bit because of her always-wide-eyed blank expression. She only speaks when someone asks her a question, and her voice is high and breathy.
Personality: She hardly ever smiles, but her smiles are kind of unsettling anyway, but she has a perfectly controlled temper and never even frowns.

Eve the ROCK said...

*smiles happily*

Eve the ROCK said...

Thanks. :)

*chews lip*

...


*goes comment hunting*

Zathract Mist said...

Eeeeeeveeeee!

Wriiiiiiiiite!

Pleeeeeeeaaaaaase?

Eve the ROCK said...

Aha! Okay. Got it. Now I know everything I need to know. Yes, now I shall continue writing.

Zathract Mist said...

Yaaaaaaay!

Eve the ROCK said...

Sneak peak:

When I walked into the ice cave, the girl sitting on the floor seemed too preoccupied with the water dripping steadily from the ceiling of the cave to notice me. Or the cold. She wasn't all wrapped up like I was. A sleeveless top and shorts, both a faint pastel green. Not one shiver down her spine, not one goosebump on her pale skin. Her grey eyes darted up and down, as swift as the water droplets she was examining. If what he'd heard was true, her magically enhanced eyesight was sharp enough to enable her to see every little colour that bounced off that little water droplet that fell to the floor in less than a second... When it came to finding someone to do what needed to be done on this little mission of his, Drucilla Nox was on the top of the list. 

Eve the ROCK said...

*peek

Zathract Mist said...

Wow.

*smiles*

I love it. But it changes half way through from "I" to "he".

Eve the ROCK said...

Waaaaaait...

AGH!! I DID IT AGAIN!!

*furiously replaces 'his' with 'mine'*

Eve the ROCK said...

*and 'he'd' with 'I'd'*

Eve the ROCK said...

*is outraged with self* I do that..all the time...

Zathract Mist said...

*grins and hugs her*

Don't worry about it. I do that all the time. It once took me an entire day editing out the perspective points of a story I wrote. :P

Eve the ROCK said...

*hugs him back* Right now I'm just focusing on trying to make my writing at least half okay compared to yours. :)

Zathract Mist said...

MSD. :(

Eve the ROCK said...

Aw, okay. :(

Eve the ROCK said...

*is making changes*

Zathract Mist said...

I'm 1185 words into Ch. 4 with four and a half pages. An average Bfb chapter is 7 B5 pages approx. So it shouldn't be too much longer before I'm finished. I'll probably finish up tomorrow because once my mother comes out, I'll be in trouble for staying up longer than I'm allowed and then the internet will most likely go off. :(

Zathract Mist said...

Do you want first?

Eve the ROCK said...

Aw. :(

Maybe. If it means the page gets to be dedicated for once. ;)

Eve the ROCK said...

I wonder what to dedicate to, if I do indeed get first.

Eve the ROCK said...

I do wonder...

Eve the ROCK said...

I dedicate this page to Mist, the one and only. He has pes- motivated me enough to start writing again, and the results are only half bad, yay! I also dedicate this page to said genius because, as well as this page, I'm dedicating my story to him, because at the end of the day, it was all his fault. Look what you've done, Mist. I am now writing again. You have doomed us all.

I love you and all that,
Evie.

I've doomed everyone yet again.
Thanks, Evie.

*kisses her*

Zathract Mist said...

Nope, not yet. Still here. But I could vanish at any time. :(

Zathract Mist said...

*smiles happily*

Eve the ROCK said...

You need to come up with a name for the guy.

Lynxia Lost said...

Hi. I'm on in citizenship.

Zathract Mist said...

Hi, Lynxia!

What do you mean, Eve?

Lynxia Lost said...

Damn. Gotta go. Low battery!

Zathract Mist said...

Bye, Lynxia.

Zathract Mist said...

Oh, you mean the guy in your story?

Eve the ROCK said...

Bye Lynxia!

Yup, that guy.

Zathract Mist said...

Hmm...

I'm not sure.

Eve the ROCK said...

Think about it then. :)

Zathract Mist said...

I will.

:)

Hey. Bfb is up!

Zathract Mist said...

Switching to iPod now so MSD times 10...whatever.

*kisses her just in case and leaps onto iPod*

Eve the ROCK said...

*kisses back* I'll check!

Eve the ROCK said...

*thinks* I do ask for the time a lot.

Eve the ROCK said...

....

:(

Eve the ROCK said...

Aw. Hes gone. :(

...

Eve the ROCK said...

*starts washing wombat*

Gabriel said...

I'm sure he'll be back.

Gabriel said...

*disappears*

Eve the ROCK said...

...Bye gab

Eve the ROCK said...

.... I think thatll be chapter one.

Gabriel said...

hMM...You're still here?

Gabriel said...

Maybe not..

Eve the ROCK said...

Traaalaaalaaa

Eve the ROCK said...

Actually

Night blogland!

Luciana said...

School is too much work. Seriously. Everyone expects A's and A*'s from me...FMLLLLLL.

Star Inkbright said...

*gazes with starry fangirl eyes at my free pink card Rainbow Magic fairies bookmark i got from the library half an hour ago*

It is my fav bookmark ever.

Even though i stopped reading the books yonks ago. Duh. They're for little kids.

Star Inkbright said...

*loves my crappy piece of thin card very much*

Luciana said...

Hello, Star..

Star Inkbright said...

Hello, L...

Rim. said...

Hello? Star? L? Anybody?

Rim. said...

YAY!! Hi Star!!

Star Inkbright said...

HI!!!!!!!

*is an octopus*

Rim. said...

Hi!!!
*is a human with cool hair*

Star Inkbright said...

*has very cool suckers*

Rim. said...

*realises jalepeno fire doritos are not cool but mildly spicy*
*continues eating*

Star Inkbright said...

Ice is very cool.

Rim. said...

Ice is sub zero cool.
The sun is Smokin' hot.

Star Inkbright said...

*has radio voice* In Britain, the sun comes out every day.

Rim. said...

Have you ever played on Runescape???

Star Inkbright said...

Noooooo . . .

Rim. said...

Lol. I thought you'd say that!

Star Inkbright said...

Ooooooo-kaaaaaay . . .

I believe in telepathy irl. I have theories about it.

Rim. said...

I've not got a strong opinion on it.
I think that when you get to know someone really well you know how they act and feel so basically their though patterns.

Star Inkbright said...

Hmm. *mentally adds to my telepathy theories*

No. It's more than that. We can pick up people's thoughts that are just wafting through the air, waiting to be sensed. It ISN'T just knowing people well. It could be some random music they're thinking of. I speak from experience. And it ISN'T just people you know well.

Rim. said...

Okay! I've never really thought about it much...

Sorry Gota go!! *hugs* BBL

Star Inkbright said...

May the fours be with you rime!

Luciana said...

I need to stop entertaining these thoughts...

Star Inkbright said...

Hi L. What thoughts?

Luciana said...

Hello and....Never mind...I just got some bad news, the other day and it could get worse... :/

Star Inkbright said...

. . .

What was it?

Luciana said...

I'd rather not say...But I am more depressed than ever, because of it... :/ I tried acting hyper yesterday, but then today I couldn't and I broke down so many times...I hate being depressed...Life's worthless.

Star Inkbright said...

Life ISN'T worthless. It has lots of good stuff in it. Look at the good stuff and concwntrate on that. The more you think about depressing stuff, the more depressed you'll get.

Flame Phoenix said...

heyy

Luciana said...

In life, you live and then you die. It's pointless.

Luciana said...

Hello, Flame.

Flame Phoenix said...

if life was poinyless


then.. you would not be here. nor would sp. or vc.


listen to yourself talk woman,

Life is wonderful and adventurous.

Star Inkbright said...

Hi flame!

Flame Phoenix said...

hey stra

Flame Phoenix said...

msd

Star Inkbright said...

Agreed, flame.

Life has thoughts and feelings and emotions. Life has people in it. In life you develope skills and relationships. Okay, maybe it's FOR nothing, but it ISN'T nothing. Live for the sake of living. Live for the good stuff and lrarn from the bad.

Luciana said...

Life is pointless, though...There is no point in life. Sometimes not being here sounds like a rather nice idea...
You say life is wonderful and adventurous, but it's also full of pain and hurt...

Star Inkbright said...

That's the POINT. If there was no bad stuff, we wouldn't appreciate the good stuff.

Luciana said...

I know more bad than good, whereas my friends know hardly any bad...
I know there has to be some bad, but it feels like there is just too much, right now...

Star Inkbright said...

. . .

I hope stuff'll get better for you soon . . .

Luciana said...

Thanks, so do I...I'll shut up complaining, now...I'm just being a b*tch again. I don't mean to be such a f*cking b*tch, I just am...F*cking mood swings.

Luciana said...

I'm sorry you've had to see me like this...I was laughing one minute and crying the next, earlier. I don't mean to be like this, sorry... :/

Star Inkbright said...

*shrugs* i don't mind people complaining avout their lives, so long as they actually have something worth complaining about. I mean, i'd rather people didn't HAVE to complain, but if their lives are bad, i'd rather they'd speak to me about it. I learn stuff from it too, you know.

That might not make sense, or sound how i want it to sound, but whatever, i tried.

Luciana said...

Awwwww, Star! *hugs* You're such a nice person! I wish I could be as nice as you! I am just incapable of being nice.....'Cause I am so cool, like that.

Star Inkbright said...

I'm not THAT nice . . .

And it's COOLIO! Not cool! COOLIO! If you were COOL you'd freeze to death!

Luciana said...

Okay...? You do make me laugh, you know? :)

Star Inkbright said...

You make me laugh:)

And, i am allowed to eat baguettes. Coz being eaten is horrible and a fitting punishment for . . .um . . .baguetteness, right?

Also, um, thanks:)

Luciana said...

That's good to know. I make like no-one laugh, because the only way I am funny is when I fail...
And...You do get the innuendo, right? Or do I have to e-mail it you? So the inappropriate-ness of it stays off blogland? Or you can keep your innocence. :') BUT YES. BAGUETTES DESERVE TO BE PUNISHED!!!

AND you're welcomeeeeee. :)

Star Inkbright said...

Is welcomeeeeeeeee pronouced well-cum-eeeeeeee?

It must be impossible for you to fail at being funny then. Coz if you fail at being funny, you fail, which is funny, and that is being funny, so you can't fail at being funny coz you ARE being funny.

If that makes sense.

Sparky Braginski said...

Hello ?

Luciana said...

Um...Yes?

I fail at being funny, APART from when I am being clumsy and people laugh at my clumsiness...Which is not intentional...

Luciana said...

Hello.

Star Inkbright said...

Hi sparky.

The funniness thing is being to be veeeeery confuzzling. As opposed to just veeery confuzzling.

Star Inkbright said...

*beginning

Lynxia Lost said...

Hello??

Star Inkbright said...

Star Inkbright said...

Lynxia said that she finished the first book of pottermore ealier.

Lynxia Lost said...

Damn comments...

Yeah. I can't wait until I can go on wi-fi again. Then I can duel and make potions!

Lynxia Lost said...

Thanks Star! *hugs*

Luciana said...

Hello. *confuzzled*

Lynxia Lost said...

Lots of silence...


*is watching Waterloo Road*

Star Inkbright said...

Luciana said...

I should be doing homework, anyway. :)

Star Inkbright said...

Lynxia said: "That's White Willow."

Lynxia Lost said...

White Willow is mainly on chat now.

Star Inkbright said...

:(

We are the people who are lesspotterlessless, L.

Star Inkbright said...

*can't go on chat*

Star Inkbright said...

Lynxia said: "White Willow is mainly on chat now."

Luciana said...

I have to do physics homework.....BUT I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT IS!!!!! D: *is f*cked*

Lynxia Lost said...

Damn these comments............................

Star Inkbright said...

That sucks, L:(

Um, improvise? If you just do SOMETHING, apparently it makes teachers a lot happier, knowing you at least tried. Our geography teacher told us it last year. Probs won't work on everyone though.

Luciana said...

I FOUNDDDDDDD ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT. BUT I WILL FAIL BECAUSE I AM CLUELESS. I HAVEN'T DONE PHYSICS IN 3 WEEKS!!!!! GAHHHHHHHHHHHh.

Star Inkbright said...

:D and :( :( :(, L.

Maybe it'll be like riding a bike?

Lynxia Lost said...

My physics teacher wouldn't be like that. If you told him a good reason he might understand but if you just turn up with no h/w... *does hanging mime*

Star Inkbright said...

*gasps, clutches throat and falls over, spluttering and choking*

Luciana said...

My teacher likes me. He's just like 'Oh, it's alright. I am sure you tried your best' or he forgets about it completely. BUT FERN HAS DONE THE HOMEWORK SO WE ALL HAVE TO. D:

Star Inkbright said...

*mimes getting phone call*

*speaks in fingers* No, sorry, i can't come, i'm a little hung up at the mo.

*mimes hanging up*

*both senses:)*

Yeah, i know, crappy . . .

Star Inkbright said...

That's good L:)

Lynxia Lost said...

What is the h/w L?

Luciana said...

Something about waves. And Red-Shift and The Big Bang Theory (not the program though, sadly).

Star Inkbright said...

*doesn't have a clue about any of it*

Sorry, L.

Luciana said...

I've got to go now. My mum is being a b*tch, again. FML.

Lynxia Lost said...

Lynxia Lost said...

Yeah, you missed my correction post. I'm watching it now.

Star Inkbright said...

Yes lynxia. *is still laughing*

Star Inkbright said...

I think^

Star Inkbright said...

I mean, i THINK it's the second one, yes.

Star Inkbright said...

I literally just had tears of laufhter forming . . . I couldn't BREATH . . .

"You meant a toy plane, right?" :)

Lynxia Lost said...

Sorry, Internet failed again...

Star Inkbright said...

S'okay.

Star Inkbright said...

Lynxia said: "Stupid disappearing comments!!!!!!!!!!"

Yeah. It's horrible:(

But it does fix itself after a while:)

Lynxia Lost said...

I hope so... I can't go on here on my laptop until next month.

Star Inkbright said...

Trust me. Mine were disappearing at two different times, and both times, it fixed itself.

Lynxia Lost said...

I feel sorry for Edward. Everyone hates him...

^^^Edward Scissorhands that is.

Star Inkbright said...

*can't give an opinion as i haven't watched it*

Star Inkbright said...
