I'm Back!


Hey everyone! I'm back. I know its been a really long time since I last posted anything up but I have a bit of a chance now as its the weekend here in Australia and I would like to announce that I will beginning to post book reviews on this blog as well as my progress with my fanfiction. I have so many stories in the works at the moment that I have stopped starting new ones and will be continuing with all the ones I have to finish before I begin new ones.

Spoilers Galore!


So life has been causing me havoc until I finished my first trimester at SAE. With a short silent film, a Digital Imaging assessment plus a synopsis, a trailer edit and a presentation, I was run off my feet. I was basically living in black hole for three weeks. So most of holiday break I was on the Merlin wiki editing the pages, adding pictures, categories (that were necessary) and writing related blogs regarding the show while writing Ever Ever After. I got one chapter up and I have almost finished another one but I haven't been wanting to write in my need to finish the epic Hunger Games trilogy.

I have been loving the on set pictures and spoliers that don't give too much away about the upcoming season which is due to air in the UK in their autumn Australia's spring and I must say I am loving finding pictures of the new Mordred and of Queen Guinevere's new dresses. My favourite so far is the black and purple velvet dress that reminds me of the dresses worn in the period drama the Tudors in which Katie McGrath who plays Morgana in had a guest role as one of King Henry VIII's mistresses. I think her appearance was in season 2. I don't know because I have watched it but I do know that. The information regarding the current in production season of merlin doesn't give much but this what we do know: ****SPOILERS! IF YOU DON'T WANT SPOILERS  STOP READING HERE!****
  • Mordred becomes a Knight of Camelot and of the Round Table and will be an ally of Arthur (and possibly Morgana later)
  • Queen Annis of Caerleon will return and so will Princess Mithian of Nemeth
  • Some woman is almost executed and Merlin and Arthur step in to save her
  • Gwen (now being Queen) is one of Arthur's main confidents and is still close to Merlin despite her new status
  • It COULD be time for Merlin to reveal his secret to Arthur. (Not yet confirmed!)
  • The Knights of the Round Table will be developed and the Round Table returns to Camelot
  • The season will be set a few years after the Series 4 finale.
I know a bit more but I'm not going to reveal much more. For more information go to this link: http://merlin.wikia.com/wiki/Series_5#Confirmed_Information. See the bottom of the linked page for sources.
****MERLIN SPOILERS END HERE!****

****THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY SPOILER STARTS HERE!****
As for my venture into the amazing world of the Hunger Games well things are looking bad at the moment since a rescue team were sent to the Capitol to retrieve a broken Peeta who later tries to strangle Katniss. Not good!
****THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY SPOILER ENDS HERE!****

It started with 'Once Upon Upon a Time...'


Yes, I'm back! Long time I know but I have a really good excuse: film school is so much fun and I've had a ball with it so far. I have to re-enrol soon which I'll do before the 30th May. I have given up on my filmmaker's blog so I've deleted while I've been writing my little heart while working on my film stuff. I have to shot my silent film on Friday at least the first few scenes with a professional JVC camera. I'm looking forward to it seeing as I'm the director so its going to be so much fun.

I am loving television at the moment seeing as most of the good shows have finished up for the time being or are being axed! Terra Nova was axed which I'm still fuming over and No Ordinary Family was axed as well! The fates of Ringer and Alcatraz aren't known as of yet but Revenge and the new show (on Australian screens) Once Upon a Time have been renewed which is great and so has one of my all time favourite shows Teen Wolf and yes, all the these shows are American but they are all really good shows. As for my favourite show in the world, Merlin, it is in the process of filming its fifth season which is going to be better than ever now that Camelot has a new queen in Gwen and is heading in the direction of the age of Albion (sorry for the spoilers).

My writing is coming along but Ever Ever After has a long way to come until I can even think of it as finished. I'm up to Chapter 14 at the moment and I'm happy to say that it's almost finished. I have never written anything this fast before. I have also set up a wiki for my fanfiction which I haven't had much time to edit as of late. Once my holidays come around I'll be able to work more on it and it will become much easier when I get my Adobe CS6 Production suite so I can use Photoshop to edit pictures and create title art for my stories.

I'm still reading the AH-MAZE-ING Hunger Games Trilogy. I'm up to the final book and things are getting really messy!

The Writing Bug has Returned!


So my absense has once again been caused by my new obsession with the Hunger Games books, my film school stuff and panicking over getting my MacBook Pro on time. Yes, I'm getting a MacBook Pro but it has been on order for eight weeks and everyone who has ordered one is freaking out because of the assignments we need to start with the software they come with. Anyway, back to my writing.

So I'm meant to be studying but I'm writing the next chapter of 'Ever Ever After' instead. It's taken me just over four days to write over 3,000 words of this new chapter. So Arthur and everyone close to him and the citizens of Camelot and that includes the exiled Morgana and Agravaine and their new ally Helios about Merlin and Ari having magic and now Hunith, via her letter to Merlin, has just revealed a huge secret that has Merlin not too happy. Sorry if I leaked a spoiler for the previous chapter.

The song is totally wrong for this chapter. It's in French and its a Screamo song which I seriously hate but I got to see fit the mood of a story I'm still waiting to be updated.

Almost Finished


I know that I haven't been writing lately but my excuse is that my life at college has made it near impossible to write anything. So I wrote so much last night I that I know I'll be able to get it at least finished today and hopefully get through one edit before I have to get back to my assignments that are mostly due this week.

The Essence of a Book Worm


I know that it's been a while since I've posted anything up here but I thought I might as well stop by and say hi. I have had the reading bug for the past few days now and it's all because of a new movie coming out called 'The Hunger Games'. It's directed by Gary Ross and stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutchinson and it couldn't be complete without at least one Aussie, Liam Hemsworth who most people know as the little brother of Thor star Chris Hemsworth who actually beat Liam out for the role of Thor but at the moment that's not important.

*SPOILER ALERT! Do NOT read ahead if you hate spoilers or have not read the books*

The film is the film adaptation of the first book in Suzanne Collins' trilogy of books told from the perspective of 16 year old Katniss Everdeen (played by Jennifer Lawrence in the movie). The book and film are set in the near future where North America is no more and the country of Panem exists in its place and kids from the ages of 12 to 18 are forced to enter a draw to 'represent' their District by fighting each other to the death. When Katniss' younger sister, Primrose "Prim" is drawn out, Katniss steps forward to replace her as tribute. To Katniss' despite at first, Peeta Mellark is selected as the boy tribute for District 12 and little does Katniss realise at first that Peeta has been in love with her since they were little which later causes tension between the duo and Gale, Katniss' best friend and hunting partner who is also in love with her.

Knighting Disaster!


Ok, I know that its been a while since I've posted up here but I thought now was a good time. So, I'm working the 11th chapter of Ever Ever and it introduces Kay and Galahad only problem is the song is still wrong! The song is a new Evanescence track called 'Say You Will'. This is such a knighting disaster!

Still Mismatching!


So, I'm on the final stretch of writing the 8th chapter of Ever Ever After and the song that came up when I shuffled my iTunes library was Go your own Way by the Cast of Glee. Not exactly good a song for the crowning of a Queen.

Nine Wave Maidens


Hmm... interesting I have a song playing called 'Nine Wave Maidens'. It would be excellent if I was writing a story about travelling maidens but it still doesn't do anything to influence my writing for my Ever Ever After chapter. *Sigh*

Mismatching Queeny Music


I'm currently writing the 8th chapter for Ever Ever After called 'A New Queen' and the song that came up first when I placed my iTunes library on shuffle is Jai Ho by The Pussycat Dolls! First Avatar's war theme comes up when I was trying to write a wedding chapter now this! What next?!

Not really Wedding Material


I'm currently listening to the war score from James Cameron's Avatar while I'm writing the wedding chapter to 'Ever Ever After'. It doesn't really mix together. I mean I was writing a chapter on war it would fine but a war theme that goes with a wedding I don't think so...

Feeling Satisfied


I worked so bloody hard last night. I finished my latest 'Ever Ever After' chapter and edited it and I even posted it up. I've gotten two reviews and I really wish more people would review my stories. I have a one shot that has no reviews but I left it posted anyway. Please people of LJ, please click the fanfiction link in the links box and look around my fanfiction page. You might find a story that you like. Please note most of my stories are NOT beta-d. The most recent stories I have edited them myself.
