One moment . . . one brief, shining moment . . . that was known as Camelot--er, Jean-Claude.
Sadly I am now almost to Ch. 40 and this has not come up again :'C
That's one of the most galling things about this series, isn't it? The fact that there's glimmers of good stuff here
That's what gets to me about the AB series more than anything else. It's why I'm so obsessed with it to the point of running this LJ, really. The fact that it could be so gooood and it really is an awesome world (even if some elements aren't well-thought-out) and gdsgsgksk THE POTENTIAL! It's what makes it stand out from other bad fiction. I don't know if that's good or bad, but it's sure FRUSTRATING!
And hahah, I just hope I can make it suitably hilarious. I've never quite gotten the hang of writing Lucille because, unlike other characters, I wasn't able to practice her in roleplays, since she's only a good character when she gets to be the Big Bad. When she's just another character in the game, she's...well, come on, she's the prettiest, the most badass, has the strongest magic, was a variant of the secretly-an-heiress plot, etc. But as a villain, she's supposed to be Better Than You to everyone because we're SUPPOSED to wonder how the heroes are supposed to have a prayer against her.
....I typed 'prayer against Anita' at first hahaha wtf.
