I am a drama queen with no backbone whatsoever...but at least I am honest *grins*

[matilda36]

I am completely an utterly crazy. And before you lot can go duh! I'll tell you why.

I spent most of last week in a panicked frenzy of the kind I don't want to write anymore and then I go and claim Hector/Odysseus at the sylum_challenge . (prompts table next post) Why oh why? Just because I love Ody. I love my Ody and I am weirdly possessive of him. I did want him to have the chance to tell his story, with a little help from his mate (that has already committed himself to RP most of the prompts and help me to get his voice right, because my Ody will be the way he is without his Hector... ) Storytelling is after all one of Odysseus'skills, one that saved his life more than once.

My love for the character is stronger of my fear and pain? It may take a while for me and you to get the answer...so please be gentle with the poking but I want to give it a try. Because I am crazy. And because joereaves and toby_white_wolf talked me into it.

Author's note. My characters are going to be closer to Homeric canon and our RP than to Troy. The only thing we are going to have in common is Sylum canon (thanks to one_side2002 for giving us such good background to work with. Thank you my child) and Sean Bean and Eric Bana.

You can SO do this. I'm right behind you all the way! So when's the first fic coming out then?

*grins and runs before my ancestor throws something at me*

Can I avoid low flying pigs?

Unidentified flying objects aren't really my style.

Ody's favourite punshment for naughty grandchildren are hours of storytelling or granpa Hector spanking...

No scratch that. Hector's spankings are too much fun...

*winks*

I seem to remember our conversation being more along the lines of 'should I do it?' 'Sure as long as you think you'll enjoy it'... How did I 'talk you into it? Now Speed's claim in the challenge I'm perfectly willing to take the 'blame' for

I do remember our conversation being more along the lines of me begging you to take the claim and you begging me to take the claim and placate Lucas once she found out you had put forward the claim...

I personaly can't wait to see what you do with Ody and Hector - and even happy that someone who knows the real history :) legends will work with that instead of god awful movie - only good thing about that movie - Sean Bean as Ody and Eric Bana as Hector.. yep thats it.. :)

thank you for the encouragement...

I have been rereading the Iliad and I plan the Odyssey after that...

I think that Homer and Woodhouse will be my inspirators.

Ambitious me? Nooooooo
