After BBA

So there we go... As a non-busy person, I'm sensing it's up to me and my other characters here to get things progressing... at least for them. So what I'm going to do is to do a post-a-thon with myself. Cheers!

Just a couple of things:

~ Post your new character profile on New Characters forum so we can get the project running by December. Thanks so much to Steph, DJ and Cai for posting! (Personally, I'm waiting for Ira regarding the twin thing.)

~ How are your story arcs? I admit mine isn't going nowhere, I somehow lost my muse again.

~ Let's post!

Since I can't write anything at the moment, I shall read instead and be up-to-date. I believe we are still on the idea of using story arcs for the main characters here in ABBA (Mamma Mia!) and currently we're on the Jacob and Maria arc.

So what's up with them?

They're getting married. Forum on focus is The Wedding of Maria and Jacob in Normandie; all the relative threads are in there.

And So It Begins started off the whole wedding thing. We see Dianna as the wedding planner, while Nicholas is dispatched off to herd the men of the wedding party.

In Why No Peeking?, we see the men fixing themselves to be presentable. Jacob feels the usual pre-wedding jitters and Nicholas plays the role of shrink for the groom. Julian sneaks out of the gathering for a while to steal Maria and returns just in time to complete the wedding party once more. A conflict between Auror and werewolf is brewing in the distance. Let's see who will throw the first punch (and judy).

In Getting Cold Feet? Hope Not, Maria is experiencing the same jitters and luckily a real shrink is there for her. She is momentarily kidnapped by Julian into Something Blue, where the silly best man becomes quite emotional. Scary. Maria returns to the female wedding party just in time for her father to give her the something old, if I read correctly.

The Grand Event is where everyone ought to be by the time the men finally decide to go and quit snarling at each other. Yeah, I know, Julian should post something as well. But my muse deserted me!

Anyway, we have a couple of sub plots along with the wedding.

We welcome Cassandra and Gisele; one a huntress, the other a.. uh, bitch? I'm not sure. We see Armelle becoming friends with Cassie, who was actually a woman in Jacques' life. So if there's still the Jacques-Armelle connection after all these years, then ooh, we've got something brewing in the distance. Good luck, Armelle, Jacques and Cassandra!

As for Gisele, well, let's let Russel deal with her. For some reason, they seem perfect for each other.

We also might have something with Elise versus Helene, but as far as I know, Helene is quite unaware of the blurry connection between Julian and Elise, as well as Julian being unaware of Helene actually coming to the wedding. Or maybe it just doesn't matter to him? The last time he was in London was quite the trauma (LMAO). But I think he knows an invite was sent to her.

That's it for the meantime. Happy reading/writing/plotting!

PS. This post oddly sounds like a mystery post. Scary.

I'm not literally talking about the smell. But I thought you guys should know that sometimes ABBA can be a little difficult to work with. I'm talking about posting. On BBA if you accidentally hit another button and go to a different site this issue can be easily fixed by pressing the back button and your post is still there waiting to be submitted, ABBA is a bit different, because it is not like BBA at all in this sense and unfortunately, until I figure out how to fix this, we have to deal with it.

I'm suggesting that everyone uses note pad, or a word doc until that day. Of course, this is only necessary should you feel this way. I am only trying to save everyone some angst.

Hello, everyone!

If ever you people need more guest characters, don't hesitate to make them.

And if ever you're running out of email addresses to use, worry not because you can register accounts using your existing email address in here. It should allow you, but if it doesn't, too bad. xD (Or you can tell me and maybe, just maybe, I can fix it.)

The wedding is on-going! Happy are the days.. Very Happy

Loves,
~Mai
