Where is this going exactly?
13 years ago
As to the over-arching story? The big tapestry?
For now, all I'm going to say is that Yawg is letting me create backgrounds for the various characters of his LoJR comic. He just wanted me to write the POVs of various characters having sex the night Slippy finally got laid.
He didn't expect this < (Points at the 2200 odd words of Stay) or * (Points at the other 4500 odd words in a separate document) or the fact that I'm still writing cuz I haven't even gotten to Krystal's main confrontation. He definitely didn't expect the Slippy chapters. I think I may have blown his mind, he's actually gone fan-boy on me.
We're weaving the different stories into each other one at a time, just letting each chapter lay down more ground work and creating a world that we can point at and say, 'canon'. It's a heady experience, knowing that between Yawg and I, we're establishing a whole new world to play with.
There are plans for where the comic is heading, but the more I write, the more those plans are morphing, adapting. He's drawing inspiration from my stories and I'm pulling ideas from his pictures and what we discuss offline.
My writing is already on a different track from his comics, a whole different feel as well. I can definitely say that his comics are much more light-hearted than what I'm posting. Can you imagine trying to put these chapters into pictures? It would be AWESOME but it would also take months.
Oh wait... you guys don't even know the good parts yet. Um... crap. :s
I'm honestly not sure how far I'm going to take the Krystal Chronicles. It may only extend to the beginning of Yawg's comics or it may run alongside to the events in those pages. All I know is that I'm really enjoying writing this out and he's enjoying what I give him.
Before I started with Krystal, Yawg mentioned the Anita Blake books that I'm so very a fan of. For good or bad, those books and my penchant for writing Akatsuki (Naruto) fanfiction have combined to give me the ideas for Krystal's story. Her character, the Ivory Guard, the interactions, the wording... I'm trying very very hard not to write Krystal as an angsty woman among several beautiful dangerous men... I'm not sure if I'm pulling that off. My prime concern right now is making sure that the shifts in emotion, the choices that she makes, and the way the men react to her, are all believable and have reasons that make sense.
In short - I'm taking this exercise in writing far too seriously for fanfic porn... Why? Cuz I'm actually choosing not to make the Bone Pickers into a group of sexual deviants. And this story is taking on a life of its own; it may just send its first few chapters in the embrace of the LoJR comic, and then leave home.
Yawg is already talking about drawing up the plans for the bar that Gregori owns.
We both may have projects that have grown out of proportion, a few extra heads, and an appetite for free time. But god help us, we're loving the ride.
Much like this journal has gone haywire... Ugh. Yawg is telling me to concentrate on the story and not on this journal. So... sorry for the disjointed writing. It's been competing with the 5th chapter and not doing so well. *slinks away*

I do enjoy your background stories as well! Keep up the good work!
As of right now, the Akatsuki story I've got going is a private work between me and another writer. It's about 40k words long... and lives in google docs only.
*shakes head* I have no idea why writing from the POV of a violent male is so much fun.
By the way, I've discovered that I'm not writing Krystal as Anita - she's actually more of a Sakura. And I'm more comfortable with that. Go figure.
