trinityvixen | More LOST

Are the people on the 'bad' side of the island going to get backstories? I assume we could dredge up enough trauma and "ooh, look, another survivor we don't much talk to" stuff on the main group's part to fill three seasons more, but it wouldn't be fair to cut off the other group entirely.

It's also not evenly enforced, seeing as Ana-Lucia's been in a Jack flashback, and if Rose is ever developed, her husband should be expected to appear. It's too early to tell, really, but just, you know, curiosity.

I have nothing else to contribute today. I'm at work, I've been working, woop-de-freakin' do. Anyone have any ideas for Halloween for me? I think this weekend I'll head down to the Party City I saw in Union Square, try to hunt up some ideas. I've toyed with a bunch of disparate and joint costume ideas and not really gelled with any of them. I'd love to do Rainbow Brite, but I'll be damned if I pay Ricky's $70 for the costume.

Ack, I still have to work on my Two Lines entry!

darkling1 kindly performed story critique on it the level of his usual, so I have lots of notes. I spent a lunchtime going over them, trying to find answers to his questions and trying to insert lines to backup places where I felt I'd been lax in my storytelling for the sake of pretty-sounding flow. It happens a lot. I'm terrible at revision because I write spur-of-the-moment/free-flow all the time. I almost never plan out anything in advance, but once I perfect the way a line sounds, I am so fixed on it I have trouble changing it. I could submit the entry as is--it's just a fanfiction contest--but I do want to make it better. Sigh.
