matrixrefugee...That isn't Dragon Cave related, or a characteristically ranty, rambly reply to a "Writer's Block" question.
Thursday night: the three of us went to the Vokes Theater for their production of "The Lady's Not for Burning", a hysterical little comedy, ala Shakespeare, in which a down-on-his 14th century poet is trying to get himself hanged as a cure for losing his lust for life, and an alchemist's sharp-witted daughter is trying to dodge being burned as a witch... and how they manage to help each other out of their predicaments.
Also, as I wait for the release of Richelle Mead's "Succubus Heat", I decided to tide myself over with the first of her Black Swan novels, "Storm Born". WOW! I've referred to Richelle as "a female answer to Jim Butcher", but I'd say this series is the female answer to the Dresden Files. Ooh, don't tell Jim's rules lawyers, but I could see a cross-over fanfiction, if not a collaboration between the two of them.
And I have a mini contest for you. Sources tell me that one of the new characters introduced in "Rebuild of Evangelion" is named Mari. And I've been pecking away at an Eva fanfic featuring an original female character named Mara Valiant. And I'm scrambling to come up with a new name for my two-hundred year old Grigori/human hybrid girl so she isn't confused with the new girl in this canon reboot/adaptation/whatever Hideki Anno has in mind for this series.
So... I'm challenging you all to help me come up with a new name. The winner will get a special mention and dedication when I finally get this fic knocked into shape. A few little details on Ms. Valiant: she believes she's of Irish and English extraction, and grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where her guardian, an elder Grigori known as Enniel Prussot, worked at NERV's facility at MIT. She thinks she's twenty-five years old, but Prussot, at the order of his superiors (who may or may not have a hand on SEELE's leash), has been wiping her memory every thirty or so years.
