kippurbird | Some amusing things.

Another interesting thing from the writers group.

The new guy wanted to know why Alec was doing what he was doing. He assumed it was a Quest. Because he was the Chosen One. After all he had the title "Champion of the Fey" had a special sword and a tattoo on his face. He must be a Chosen One.

He kinda deflated when I said, no he's not.

Then he wanted to know, well, why was Alec doing what he was doing.

He got told to do it. By his bosses.

No heroic intentions at all.

I found his expression amusing.

Rereading "Call of the Champion" to summarize. Found an interesting bit of continuity error. It's funny. Most of my continuity errors happen after I write the next parts. I don't try and make the new stuff fit the old stuff, but the other way around. It always seems to work better that way.

Anyway, in Champion, I say that Orion, Alex and Mir (the king's consort)came through a rift into Lancoon. Which is actually contradicted in the book itself, as the rift has been shut tight. In "Into the Rifts" I've given the three of them world bound origins. Their motives and places are still the same, but they come from the world itself. Alex and Orion being angels from across the sea and Mir a bard from the city.

Also, I think I found another TVTrope that could have been attributed to me.

From the All Animals Are Dogs Trope:

Newcomb's The Fifth Sorceress has an example. Now, the main character is a human prince named Tristan. Being royalty, he understandably has a horse...which he taught to play fetch.

That's two now. =D
