I've been working on two entry's for Ephiphanott's challenge of facebook, and so far have succeeded in completing two halves of two oneshots. Fail. But this second one is really starting to entertain me. It's about Mater Motley in her pre-mater motley days. She seems slightly off character to me though, here in the beginning, but that's because she's younger I suppose. Well, my whole point is to explain my reasonings for how she became so full of evil.
And this leads into my question: How many of you would actually be interested in a piece about Mater Motley? In the book, to me, it seems like she's sort of single-faceted. So it might be hard to have a connection with her character in the first place. :/
Also, is anyone working on this challenge? If so, how's it going?
Promise, last message of the night.

Just one question: who and what now? Lol, sorry. Who exactly is Ephiphanott?

Oh, oops! She's an author on fanfiction.net. She put up this contest awhile ago on a forum at that website.

Epiphanott's (who is our very own Cesaria) challenge can found here: forum.fanfiction.net/forum/Abarat_Fanfic_Chat/74514/To answer the question, I would be intrested in reading a story about Mater Motley. How long do you intend for it to be though, I'm assuming it will be multi-chaptered? I'm trying to write a story about Prince Quiffin, but it's actually quite difficult. We really know diddly-squat about him. I have a story plan, but I don't like it anymore, so will have to start again, lol. ;D

I initially intended on it being a oneshot, but as I've read over it, and now that you mention it, it really requires a bit more of the romance. It might have to be multi-chaptered. It would be nice to flesh it out.
Good luck on Prince Quiffen! We truly know nothing about him, but you've got a great imagination. I have a huge feeling we'll be meeting him and Carrion's father in later books.

Yeah, believe it or not, I still exist and lurk a bit. I'm just feeling Abarat-drained. :<

Abarat drained, me too. Don't think I have anything left to discuss with you guys, I think we've talked about it all!
I've since changed my mind about the fic I'm writing for this challenge, It's now about Otto Houlihan. I have a really long list of stuff I want to fanfic about in the Abarat section of ffnet, so in 10 years I'll still be updating.... just me there, a total loner...lol ;D

You can take this optimistically or pessimistically...but in 10 years we'll probably still be waiting on the last book.
And I agree, it's hard to be inspired when everything possible to be surprised and inspired about is old. I haven't worked on my fic in a few weeks :/ feeling guilty.

There is nothing optimistic about having to wait another 10 years! Ah! I am really looking forward to reading about Mater Motley! If I could stop changing my mind about what I want to write, I'm sure I'd have more than one chapter for each idea darn plot bunnies in my brain.

Finally finished the ending portion of it. -_- But I do have a few more middle-ish sections to write. (I think posting this will make me feel more obligated to keep writing haha)
Anybody else up to anything Abarat related? I get that we're all in a sort of lull because of school and stuff...

Surprisingly, I'm still working on my fic. It's just slow because I'm too critical of myself. ._.

If you need some inspiration or a good laugh, check out the latest chapter of "Carrion and the Cat, or, toture by animal" on fanfiction.net!
