Finally!

I am so, so tired of writing this darned post! This is now the THIRD time!
:O
Okay. Sigh. I’ll try my hardest to be cheerful. Rofl.
So... I haven’t posted in FOREVER! Sorry guys, inspiration has been running low, but it’s all come back! I am INSPIRED!
Anyway, ahem, this is the summery of my play, which I am posting especially for Katie since she’s the only one who doesn’t know what it’s about. And we couldn’t just leave her in the dark, now could we?! (Plus, someone Very Special *cough, L, cough* told me to. :D) So.
I haven’t decided, as of yet, whether it’s going to be a play with music or a musical, but it is definitely going to have songs, I can tell you that. Which is awesomely exciting, but also terrifying, since I’ve never really written songs before. :O
Ah well, moving onward...

In a world much like our medieval age, religion controls almost everything, including music. Only music that has been written by and approved of by the Church is allowed to be played and listened to. But then, there is the music makers. They create, play, and listen to illegal music, because they simply can not survive without it. They meet in dark, candlelit places, to join in the world of song for at least a short while.
When my MC stumbles upon one of these groups, she finds the music enchanting and the people intriguing. There is a slight problem though, for her adopted father is one of the highest priests in the the order of the Church. The same Church that makes this beautiful music illegal. If either her Father or the music makers found out who she really is and what she is doing, she would pay the price of her life. My MC can not stay away however, and joins the music makers. She thinks she has a horrible voice, so she just goes to listen. And in listening, she becomes especially interested in a boy her age, who has a beautiful voice. When she finds out that her father and his cronies are onto this boy, she has to warn him. But in doing so she loses her cover, and his trust.
She convinces him into fleeing, and goes with him against his will. Soon they start falling love, however, and he teaches her how to sing. They gain a following of music makers, who want to overthrow the church. But they're also being chased by my MC’s father. He finally catches them and brings them to the Queen, who is really the head of the whole religion since she’s such a big supporter of it. My MC thinks they might be able to persuade the Queen that music is good, until she finds out the boy is actually the Queens son, and he was planted into the Music Makers as a spy. MC is furious, and heartbroken. The Prince tries to tell her that he’s been changed, and he believes in music now, but she won’t listen.
MC is presented to the Queen to plead her case. The prince is there too, and the MC can not even look at him. She speaks to the Queen only, about music and the Creator. The Queen is unmoving, and in desperation MC begins to sing. The Queen calls the guards to take her away, but before they can the Prince unexpectedly gets up. He turns to the Queen and tells her if they’re taking MC, then they’re taking him too. Then he walks down the steps to MC, singing ‘their song,’ (the song he originally got her to sing, when he was teaching her,) right to her. The Queen begins to weep, because the song and their love is so beautiful.

Annnnnd that's where my poetic inspiration for summery-ness ran out, so I went to bed.
Lol!
Obviously, the Queen realizes that un-church-ified music is good too, and it alll ennndss hapillyyyyy.
Yay.
Okay so I know it’s kinda sappy. (Kelia admitted shamefacedly that she thought it was WAY too lovey dovey. Where upon I went “WHAT’S WRONG WITH THAT!!!????” and she sort of turned red. Lol!) And that summery barely covers some of what I think it (might) be about. But as sappy as it may be, I’m kind of in love with it. Lol. Lets just see if I can write it, right?
And, ahem, NAMES! So I went to that baby names site (THANK YOU KATIE!) and selected a few for my female and male main characters. I’m going to tell you all of them, and you have to tell me which one’s you like best. That’s an order, not a request, mind! :D
Okay, for FMC I have Annora and Cara. I think maybe Cara, but I like them both. For MMC, I have Bastien, Cedric, Corin, and Eric. I’m not really sure about any of those. I thought at first Eric, but I don’t know.... Opinions?
Anyways, be expecting more posts from me in the near future, because the Top Secret Project I’ve been working on is almost finished, (teehee), AND I started another story!
WooHoo! Life is good. Except it’s going to be bad if this doesn’t post again. It’s going to be veeeerrrry baaaaaaad.
Lol!

Oh jeez, sorry for the tiny type! I tried to fix it, and, (guess what?!) blogger froze.
:( I hate blogger.
I hope you can read and comment on it anyways. It would be really sad if you couldn't, since I went through all that work, you know.
Lol!

LOVE,
You-know-who

AnnaRose said...

Grrrr, your so annoying. You didnt HAVE to tell them about that! LOL

So, I'm going to be annoying back. But I really dont know whether Annora or Cara are better. Annora I kind of think as a name for a softer person, I dont know why. Did she get named by her parents, or by her adopted parent?

I think you should use Cedric. I would say Corin, but I already told you I'M using that name. But Cedric might be to....gentelman like. If you get what I mean.

But great work!
KrazyK

LiterallyLauren said...

Blogger's mean sometimes. Oh, I know.
Lol!
I LOVE that idea! I can really see where she'd get really mad, since he was mad at her for being related to the Church. Plus, TOO MUCH SAP IS GOOD!!! COME ON, KEILA! Lol, jk. :)
But really, I'd totally read it.
Hmmm... I love the name Annora, because it sounds really churchy, but then again, so does Cara, so... I don't know. Corin is AMAZING (I need to go to THAT baby name site, obviously, haha), but still. I have no clue.
Jeez. I'm confused about MY characters! WHY ARE YOU ASKING THIS OF ME?!
Lol.

Muchlove,
L.

LiterallyLauren said...

AH! I was looking over comments from the last post and YES, KATIEE!!
You can totally have my email. :)

Miss Katie said...

LOL thank you Lauren :)
Well I like Cara cause that's my nieces name(I have to like it) and it just sounds awesome but Annora sounds so....different(and if you haven't read most of my writing different names rock to me!) Then for guys Bastien, Cedric, Corin, Eric-I CAN'T DECIDE!-I agree with Lauren I can't figure out my own charactors names!(pathetic!)
That's a wicked awesome idea Anna!!!!! I like it. Hey you're talking to a lovy dovy sappy writer- I write other things too but there's always things in there that are somewhat lovy dovy*sighs* I am guilty. Take me away rofl! ( STILL LOVE YOU KELIA! :) )
Well I have to go finnish math H.W. I'll post later soon.....(did that make ANY sense?)

LOL

Katie-Baity

AnnaRose said...

Haha! You guys rock.
Thank you for all your suggestions! I think I'm back to Annora for my FMC. I still don't know about my Male though... obviously we're all just at a loss! ;)
We're pathetic. Lol.
Annnnd I have another problem. What about other charactors? As of now, I only have FMC, MMC, the Queen and (Annoras?) priest father. I've GOT to have more then that! Help?
Oh yeah, I can't ask you for help because you're all so confused about your OWN stories. Oh well. Guess I'll have to figure it out on my own. Sigh.
Rofl!
Schooly time. Oh boy.

More later,
Much love,
Annapants

P.S. Fun fact! That's the way Meg Cabot, frickin awesome author of the Mediator series, signs off on all her blog entries. NOT that I'm addicted to her blog. Or anything.
Nope.
:D

AnnaRose said...

You should have a leader of the underground things. But its okay if you dont have that many characters.

Yay! Someone agrees with me! Lauren, can you beleive it, Anna didnt even like Corin at first. I dont know if she does now. I am soooo using corin for my boy character for my play if I dont already have a name.

KrazyK

LiterallyLauren said...

Haha. You guys are freaking awesome.
Yeah, so I think everyone's kindofslightly having a lot of trouble in the name area. As for my characters, I'm changing almost every name that you guys read.
I'm not sure about Talon's. I'm kind of fond of it.
Oh, and I needed a modern name that can have a nickname made out of it (yeah, I know, that's as clear as mud), and I chose Arianna at first, which reduces to Ari, which is a character in Max Ride, which now makes me very unsure of what the HECK I'm doing. :P
Corin's cute. (:
I'd date him....
Well, okay, he doesn't exist yet, but I'd totally date a guy with the NAME Corin.
Haha.

Muchoamore.

Miss Katie said...

Okay, I have a question. Is it bad to fall in love with your own charactors? I recently made up 2 charactors who are awesome to me and I've fallen in love with them as a couple and I've fallen in love with several guys from my book*hangs head shamefully* yeah I know...sad.
I still don't mind you asking me :) lol just be warned you could get me going.....hmmm I really like all three(or whatever number) and I like number 1 because dadadada and I like number 2 because ladedadeda and so on and so forth but I will try to pick just ONE that I like and save you from listening to me decide rofl.
You don't need a TON of charactors but you do have the ones for the whole underground music thingy, and people in the town or church, then of course there's the lovely option of throwing in a charactor as you go(if you know what I mean).
That's awesome, I didn't know Meg Cabot had a Blog-I LOVE her :)
Corin is a VERY awesome guys name, I like how it doesn't sound to 'normal' or too 'odd' if that makes any sense...it just kind of fits nicely inbetween :)
I like Talon's personally but that's just me*shrugs*
Awwwww poor Lauren!mmmm....that's a tough one coming up with a name that came be reduced to a nickname-or for me at the moment it is cause I'm not really using the gears in my head to do it, hehe.
It's SO nice out where I am it's sunny-though there are some clouds which stinks. but at least it's not TOTALLY cloudy!

Love
Kaity-bo-baity

LiterallyLauren said...

Talon makes me smile. ---> :D
...I'm just not sure about his name.
And totally, Anna. Same here. Give me a list, and I'll pick my favorite[s], but it's pretty well up to you. Hehe.
Speaking of Ms. Cabot, I'm getting her new book, 'Pants on Fire', to take to Europe with me. W00t! Has anyone else read the Mediator or 1-800-WHERE-R-U series'?
Ah, the love.
Ya know, that's exactly my problem. I'm using my head too much. But then again, I have to because of school, so when I get home I just want to blaaahh.
Hehe.
OHNO. It's not bad AT ALL to fall in love with your characters. I've used Talon's personality EVERYWHERE with no avail, just because I'm completely in love with it. Putting a name to what I love, however, is a challenge. Lol. :)


L

LiterallyLauren said...

Ps - I just realized how stupid that Cabot thing question was. I KNOW Anna's read the Mediator series, just because she said 'frickin awesome writer of the Mediator series'.
I know, right?
Bwahaha.

Miss Katie said...

Okay I've just seen the trailer for OotP and it looks Awesome! Hopefully the movie's as good...
Anywho, back on track!
I have read like 1 of those books, I believe, I just don't remember it's name.....But I have read one of her books...I just don't know what the title was....that's kind of a problem*scratches chin*
I seem to have a BAD problem with falling in love with my charactors rofl! I wonder if that can be some sort of disease or something*rubs chin* I have another friend who does it too....is it catchy??? LOL
You're going to Europe, Lauren? That's awesome! When you going???
Got to go school awaits!To the confinments where your not always being able to use your imagination...*sighs*

LOVE,
Katie-bo-baity

AnnaRose said...

DON'T CHANGE TALONS NAME!!!!!! :O I love it, and I think it totally works for him! Please don't! Please?
Lol.
Okay, I'll have to go back and find some more guys names when I get a spare moment. I've been INCREDIBALY busy these last few weeks. Sigh.
Oooh Lauren, I'm so jealous! I want to read Pants on Fire. It looks, sizzly... Lol. :D And, haha, you're funny. As you already figured out, YES I've read the Mediator series, which are awesome. My library doesn't have the 1-800-WHERE-R-U series, although I want to read them! And Katie, you really should read more of her books! Although don't read The Princess Diarys. In my opinion, they're her worst books.
And OF COURSE it's not bad to fall in love with your characters! I mean, Jeremy???!! Hello, how could I NOT fall in love with him?!
Lol!
I think that we should totally have a goodbye party for Lauren, since she's going to be gone THREE WEEKS probably without internet access. :O I have NO idea how I'm going to survive! So I know you're leaving like May 31st, right? When would it be a good time for us to have a party?

LOVE,
Miss Annapants

LiterallyLauren said...

Ahhhwww. :3
Yepp, I'm leaving the 31st at 4:30 in the morning, sooo... I'm avalible pretty much up until then, except for Saturdays. ;P
OKAYYYY! I won't change Talon's name. He is forever Talon.
Lol, are you okay now? Is the heart attack over?! :o
And, as for the Meg Cabot books, I agree with Anna --- The Princess Diary books have to be some of the worst, in my opinion. But hey!
Mmm... Snap peas.
Speaking of Europeness, if I do happen to get a MINUTE of internet access, I'll comment on this site, or I'll email you, Anna, and you can post it for everyone else. I'm going to miss you guys SOOO much!!!

♥LOVE,
Lauren

LiterallyLauren said...

[ALSO (I'm getting bad at forgetting things --- UGH, I'm getting old. Just kidding. I'm younger than Anna! HAHA!) I'm getting every kind of IM service avalible on Trillian, so if you have a IM name thing, let me know! :D]

AnnaRose said...

Phew. The heart attack's over. THANK YOU for saving Talon.:P
Yeah, I sort of like the first PD, just because if you listen to the audio version read aloud by Anne Hathaway, it's HILARIOUS. But the rest stink, and I can't figure out why she's so famous for them, and why she keeps writing them!
Have you read Avalon High, by her? That one ROCKS.
Okay so. I'll look at my calender (and talk to Katie. Duh!) and see what day would work for the partay. Woohoo! :D
Definitely do contact us somehow, if you can L. We may not be able to survive if you can't! Lol. I know this place isn't going to be the same without you. I wonder how we ever lived before??! :O
EVERYONE is younger then me on this site! I guess I'm the wise one or something... Not! =) I'm not sure what you mean by 'every kind of IM service available on Trillian,' buuut I have Ichat, if you wanted to know. I know it works with Google Talk, and Ichat (duh!) My Username is just the first part of my email address.

Kthnxbye!

Love,love,love,
Annapantssss

AnnaRose said...

We can have the party on the 27th, or whatever day our anniversary is. It'll be nine months I think, three quarters of a year. Three weeks is a long time!

KEEP TALONE!!!!!!!! I love that name! And I dont already have a name for my main character so I CAN use Corin. :)

And its WAY not bad to fall in love with your characters. I would totaly fall in love with mine, except I am awful at writing cool male characters. So I have to be content with other people's. :D

I've only read Avalon High my Meg Cabot, and ITS NOT MY FAULT Anna wont let me read any others. Whew, dont have a heart attack now. :D

KrazyK

Miss Katie said...

AVALON HIGH! There was go! That's the one I read. Don't worry I don't much care for the princess diaries(books or movies).....much care? Is that even proper english?*shrudder*
I'm almost free every week day after school and every weekend. Course once we know the date I could confirm it more. :) but I'm pretty sure I'll be able to make it!(well I'm pretty much attatched to my computer unless I'm reading a good book or something something else fun lol so yeah I'll probably be here)
I LOVE Talon's name it's wicked awesome. I laughed when I read it cause in my HPP(Harry Potter PRequal) Fan Fiction I have a charactor nicknamed Talon ....or Talons-eh it's written down somewhere. Either way it's one or the other. Anywho Talon is an awesome name nevertheless and I truly can't picture it
I guess everyone has the fall-in-love-with-your-or-others-charactors syndrome lol :) well at least I'm not alone!
My cousin has Trillion-it looks awesome, I have Yahoo Messenger, Windows Messenger and AIM. I mainly have Yahoo cause AOL makes my computers fan come on and get all loud*glares at computer* I'm trying to convince my father that if he sold my computer and got a laptop and did the same to mom we'd have a WHOLE lot more room and it would make more sense(me and mom both want laptops instead of out computers rofl. We love computeres but they're so....stuck in one place and when it's nice out I want to be outside but I want to e-mail my friends......talk about a complication.)
I don't know what we'd do on this site if you weren't around Lauren, it would be TOTALLY BORING! I mean course Anna and Keila and I would have to find ways to keep it alive(and I have a feeling with our wild selves we could-lol) but it would NOT be the same!*hugs Lauren* You are a part of the Writing Rants Family and that'll never change....you're stuck for life. lol
Sorry if my humor stinks It's like 9:30 and I just got finnish with my math like 10 minutes ago and I'm soooo dead(tired) but yet so hyper at the same time.
My parents are bugging to start shuttin down so I guess this is goodnight,
Love,
Katie-Baity })i({

LiterallyLauren said...

Aahhwhw. You guys are going to make me get all gooey and mushy. :3
♥♥♥
OH, I LOVE AVALON HIGH. I have the book sitting on my bookshelf right now, next to Teen Idol, all 6 of the Mediators, and all 5 of the 1-800-WHERE-R-Us. :D
She's amazing. Meg, if you ever read this for some randomly wicked awesome reason, we love you. E-mail us. (:
Hehe.
Bwahaha. You'll totally be okay while I'm gone. I'll post at midnight before I leave, just to give you something to muse over for a while, haha. Probably part of the Talon story. ;)
Hmmm, I don't know if Trillian has I-Chat, but I'll check and IM you spontaneously if it does. If not, I'll be sad. Katie!!! I got your email - Awesome! Just send me over your IM stuff, and I'll drop you a line sometime. ;)
OHYES. Talon is staying, ladies!
Ummmm... Hmmm... The 27th. I don't know how great that will work, but I won't know until we actually get there. It depends on the time, haha. My Saturdays are being bombarded with ambassador stoof. :)
Awwwwwwwwwww.... I feel so loved. You guys are my seperated-at-computer sisters. :3

♥ from Moore, OK!
L

AnnaRose said...

Okay guys, this is gonna be short, but I wanted to let you know that I decided on a name. I think.
So, my MMCs name is going to be Bastien, but his fake name and the one he goes by for most of the play is Raven.
So it's Raven and Annora. Stress on the I think. :O
Soooo, what do YOU think?
Lol.

Later,
Love,
Annapants

LiterallyLauren said...

I used to have a crush on a guy named Sebastian, which is my name of choice for any sidekick, but I never thought of Bastian! I LOVE IT!
Also, I found another MC name that I'm reallykindof liking. Adele (pronounced UH-dell). At first, I thought it was pronounced "Adalie", but yeah, totally not.
If that name ended up sticking, her nickname would be Addie (ehh...), but Talon would be stuck on calling her Adele, just because he thinks it's beautiful and fits her.
alkjdalkdsj.
I don't knooowww.
Haha.

I think Bastion/Raven and Annora are prettyful.
:D

LiterallyLauren said...

Um...
***BastiAn.

Miss Katie said...

Adele is a beautiful name, Lauren. :)
I also love Bastian and the fact that like his nickname is Raven it sounds awesome. I also think Annora is a very beautiful name they actually sound REALLY good together you knoe Bastian/Raven and Annora.
I think my library might, just MIGHT have the Mediator series and I'm hoping they do! :)
I have acouple seperated by computer sisters lol and yes Lauren you are one of them! .....I don't know if Anna and Erin and Kelia and be considered them though-cause I do see them......oh well I'll say yes! lol we don't see eachother that often so yes, yes we are seperated by computer sisters!
Well I have to go,School calls!
Katie-baity

AnnaRose said...

I started a story with the main characters name Adele. It was short for Adelaide. It was really funny because I looked through a whole entire babyname book, and I used the first name I saw :)

AnnaRose said...

That was KrazyK, btw.

LiterallyLauren said...

I've got three computer sisters, all of which happen to be the best writers I know --- I'd say who they are, but I think you already know. :]
So far, I'm still not sure about Adele for her name, but I do have a number of permanent (supposedly...) characters: Vitali, Dante', and, of course, Talon (all three of them are brothers), Adele, her brother Andrew, Erick, Anissa, and Kandon. :D
I like them. A lot.

How're things with you guys? Anyone else besides Annapants™ and I doing ScriptFrenzy-ness?

:D
L

AnnaRose said...

Ah. I'm so happy. (And tired.) No more nights of scribbling in my notebook with my lovely blue pen after everyone else's gone to bed. No more banging my head against the wall, and staring at my lamp for long periods of time. No more trying to get into bed really quietly because it squeaks and groans attrociously.
In short:
I finished my story.
Oh yes oh yes I did. The first real short story that I've finished in... two years? I don't know. It was pretty awesome. :D It's not like, my best story ever, (in fact, not even close,) but, IT'S A STORY. And I'm happy with it. So. Be expecting a post from me pretty soon, once I get it typed up. :)
Yay! I'm glad everyone liked my names! I really think they might be right, which is exciting. And L, I also really like the name Adele, and I love how Talon would refuse to call her Addie, BUT, like you, I'm not sure... I'm just not sure it fits her personality, you know? However, I AM extremely jealous, because you've got so many awesome sounding charactors that have names. *pouts* I'm still working on that.
Lol!
I LOVE ALL OF MY COMPUTAR SISTERS!

LOVE,
Annapants

LiterallyLauren said...

CONGRATSSS!!!!
That makes me so happy for you, Annapants!!! Now I'm UBERready to see it! HURRY!
(That was a lot of exlaimation points...!)
Lol, I'm glad you like the idea of her name, but I doubt it for the same reason you do - I need to fit her name to her personality. Of course, I could also invent the name's personality... Like how StephMeyer (Wow, I talk about her a lot) used a name I would have NEVER, in a bahillion years, put on my main character, and MADE the name into a personality. Now, I can't imagine anyone with the name Edward without being utterly amazing.
Sigh.
Speaking of Stephenie... (Get ready, guys...)
At Spring Fling (Big party, Inflaitables, popcorn, ect.) a girl was wearing a shirt that was black, had a bitten apple on the front in white, and under it, said "Bite Me."
I flipped. I went up to her and said "I love him, too." She instantly saw that I was pointing at her shirt, showed me the back, which said "Official Edward Cullen Fan Club Member", and then proceeded to tell me that she drove 600 miles to see Stephenie in Texas and got to get books signed and talk to her.
I'm TOTALLY jealous!

alkjhdakdjh.
:D
Loveyouuu.
