the picture prompt meme


1. comment with your character.
2. others will leave a picture (or two, or three...)
( 2a. if you like, link a visualosities post in your top level comment to give people material to work with! )
3. reply to them with a setting based on the picture.
4. for an idea of how this works, see bakerstreet, which is where i stole this meme from!
5. THIS IS A SLOW BURNING MEME IF YOU SAY YOU'RE LATE I'LL SLOW BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN

You think maybe the author got together with his guy since then?
retropolis: (he's drunk!! said hollis)

[personal profile] retropolis 2013-07-05 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
Well. He probably wasn't planning to. Maybe the ending will clarify, but I'd imagine he'd want to separate fact from fiction a little bit.

[ He pauses, then clarifies: ]

"They," I mean.
tesselate: (i stay up too late)

[personal profile] tesselate 2013-07-05 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
The ending, like of the next book? I didn't know you were that interested in them!
retropolis: (oh no it's change)

[personal profile] retropolis 2013-07-05 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not! [ He raises his eyebrows and puts his hands up quickly. ] I-I was only speculating, since you were-- er, who can really know besides the author, right?
tesselate: (and you love the game)

[personal profile] tesselate 2013-07-08 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
[nice save there nelson] Yeah, true! I wonder if they'll ever talk about it.
retropolis: (why is laurie rude)

[personal profile] retropolis 2013-07-08 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
[ Thinking on his feet: it's what he does best. ]

Probably not. There's um, some benefit to remaining anonymous, I assume. They don't have to worry what anyone would think of them.
tesselate: (i stay up too late)

[personal profile] tesselate 2013-07-08 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
What's there to worry about? It's a great book with a huge following. It'd be like if Twilight had been anonymously written in the beginning of it.

[a beat and then!!] Though maybe the mystery just adds to the sales. A mystery writer for a mystery series!
retropolis: (ℳ | team moms)

[ He smiles a little, and shrugs. ]

Good business sense, at least. [ He pauses. ] If they were writing inspired from their life, maybe there are people they know who would recognize themselves in the story were they know the real author. Not everyone might find that flattering.
tesselate: (and you love the game)

[personal profile] tesselate 2013-07-08 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah, the boyfriend might not be thrilled.
retropolis: (discussing sally's butt)

[personal profile] retropolis 2013-07-08 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly. I-if there is one. I don't think he'd be happy about it at all, even if it obviously isn't meant to be insulting.
tesselate: (i stay up too late)

[personal profile] tesselate 2013-07-08 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Right. I mean the main character clearly loves him, but not everyone is into the bdsm scene and not everyone likes people to know they are.
retropolis: (UMMMMM)

[personal profile] retropolis 2013-07-08 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ His face goes a bit red. ]

Right. I don't really know who would want people reading into their private life. If I were the author I'd be regretting writing anything in the first place. Money aside. B-but that's the nice thing about pseudonyms, I suppose.
tesselate: (but i can't make them stay)

[personal profile] tesselate 2013-07-08 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
[oh honey.]

I guess, but I still think they should be proud of what they've done. Not everyone gets published.
retropolis: (oh no it's change)

[personal profile] retropolis 2013-07-08 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe. Maybe you're right. Although the first one was only self-published. [ Wait. ] ... I heard.
tesselate: (got nothing in my brain)

[personal profile] tesselate 2013-07-08 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Oh was it? I didn't know that.

[you know a lot
about these
for not being into them]
retropolis: (discussing sally's butt)

[personal profile] retropolis 2013-07-08 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ He adjusts his tie, glancing away a little flustered. ]

Yes. I believe so, I read about it... somewhere... I don't remember. Maybe my coworker mentioned it. [ He pulls on his tie more. ] I'm sure it was just the popularity that got the sequel out.
tesselate: (i stay up too late)

[personal profile] tesselate 2013-07-08 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
Wow that's even better for the author, then.
retropolis: (ℳ | ( unsure ))

[personal profile] retropolis 2013-07-08 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ He bites his lower lip, and tries to relax more. He forces himself to leave his tie alone. ]

They certainly got lucky. It probably makes the rest of-- any heartache at least somewhat worthwhile.
tesselate: (54)

[personal profile] tesselate 2013-07-08 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe they'll patch it up. I'm rooting for them, at least!
retropolis: (ℳ | hahaha stop touching him)

[personal profile] retropolis 2013-07-08 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
Tha-- [ A pause. ] that's kind of you. I hope so, too. I'm sure they'll have everything sorted out by the time the third book comes around. Finales usually hold a great deal of emotion. They probably put their heart and soul into it.

[ He should really stop talking about it, but. ]
tesselate: (cant stop wont stop moving)

[personal profile] tesselate 2013-07-08 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
I'm really looking forward to it.
retropolis: (ℳ | get to the point)

[personal profile] retropolis 2013-07-08 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ He looks at Billy a little curiously. ]

What kind of ending are you hoping for?
tesselate: (54)

[personal profile] tesselate 2013-07-08 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
I can't tell you that if you haven't read them yet! It would ruin the surprise.
retropolis: (why is laurie rude)

[personal profile] retropolis 2013-07-08 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
Well -- I'm not a complete stranger to them, I do know a few things about the general premise. And the characters.
tesselate: (but i can't make them stay)

[personal profile] tesselate 2013-07-08 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
[he's on to you, nelson you're--]

A secret fan, huh?
