dolariThis is a neat little link (http://www.tanuki.cx/lancers/essays/personal_sb.html) Zaecus (http://www.livejournal.com/~zaecus) sent me in response to my big long post yesterday about stories, just as a major storyline plot unfolded for me WAAAAAAY down the line.
The link is a neat little thing about "soulbonding" which seems to be what I'm doing with my stories. Rather neat read. Now do I believe I am some who is soulbonding? Not really. (WHAT? Kid, get me a rock!) It's just one of those things like your fingernails to me. That fingernail is a neat little thing, but you don't think about it all the time. But when you get right down to it and give it a look, you can sometimes see it growing. Still., it was quite a cool link, and a neat thing to ponder.
As for the story unfolding, originall Act III was all about an angel who was losing her love for humanity because her soul was slipping away (Angels have no souls).
I was thinking about how this would work, and was thinking about a story where this Angel goes searching for Morningstar to learn his motivation for being evil. Wasn't enough for me. Pretty shallow, and resulted in "Oh, THAT'S why...okay...thanks!" Suckage.
So after seeing that slow motion montage, my characters went to work, and offered up a new story possibly titled "Walkabout" "Turnabout" "The Price of Peace" or "The Third Power." And again, they made it work SO well, fit SO tight into the story, made the montage make sense and finish the AWFW story. My original ending would end up as a fitting Epilogue.
We will meet Morningstar's 2nd in Command Apollyon and the final line of AWFW will probably be "This will take some getting used to."
