I used to have a life, now I have a LorF...

[katiefoolery]

LorF has stolen my life.  I've spent the past two days insanely making LorF icons, chatting to fellow LorFers on msn and making vital casting decisions.  On the up side, we've found the perfect person to play Random Survivor of Trauma No. 2.  On the down side, I'm not doing as much non-LorF-related writing as certain Timothies might like.

But LorF is writing!  And it's better than the ordinary sort of writing, because you receive immediate feedback and you feel as though you're part of something big... because you are.  It's amazing to think that LorF has grown from a simple question asked on an un-related messageboard: Your life or your freedom?  Since then, we've made ourselves an LJ community, a most plendiferous wiki and more icons than you could poke a stick at.  We've lured people into our trap and refused to let them go.

Best of all, I've made some fantastic friends that should last me for a LorFtime lifetime.

I don't know how I'm going to cope without LorF when I go to stay at my parents' place this week.  I think I'm going to have to divide the stay up between a) working on Ever Again and Nunnery, b) getting some heavy-duty LorF writing done, and, oh yes, c) spending some quality time with said parents.  I suppose I should do some of that.

And then there'll be time spent making tea, of course.  For some reason, whenever I visit my parents, they always expect me to fall into my old role of making cuppas.

But for now, I must occupy myself with some plotting and planning and brainstorming.  Well, no-one ever said LorF was supposed to be easy...

It could be a British/Australian thing. All I know is that, from the time I could make tea, it has been my responsibility to keep doing it. At least I don't still have to empty the dishwasher, like funaga does. I think I'd draw the line at that. :)

And I just love the idea of Postcards being published as actual postcards! Alas, it's a nine thousand word story, so I can't see it happening. It'd be a lot of fun, though.

You could have the ocassional postcard.

Is postcards written by only a few people? Because you could have a small postcard symbol for wach of them and put it in the corner when they're writing, like Philip pullman had for the different worlds in His Dark Materials trilogy.

Or not...

There are nine main characters and four minor ones, one of which doesn't actually write any postcards but is referred to by some of the others. But I'm afraid I have to wait until someone accepts it before I can talk about how it should be laid-out. :)

See, this is why I should read other people's comments before posting my own. ^_^

It makes me think of Magrat. "Make the tea, Magrat."

Poor funaga.

Ooh. That would be a bit big, yes. Unless you did it as a big coffee table book...it depends on how long each postcard is. Hee. Maybe the occasional inserted picture postcard among the text? Like at the beginning of each chapter or something like that? Further sentence fragments?

Now I want tea. *wanders off to find the Earl Grey*
