And yes, rest assured some stuff was planned from the start (in fact, there's still a couple of early planned things to come). Although there's also a few big bits left to decide - eek!<br /><br />The 'anything can happen' aspect was very deliberate (I always worry I'll run out of story after two chapters - so tried to remove that fear.)<br /><br />PS. One last bit about Jules that didn't make it into the chapter (as I was too lazy) is I figure everyone else on board The Ship Of Fools loves practical jokes because of their birthday, so it's like April Fools everyday. Oh and I was happy that by creating Jules it explained the victory on Atlantis as I always thought that was too easy for them!<br /><br />And whether it sounds right or wrong, you're right, the intergalatic climax is coming soon - I think there's around 5 chapters left (but I sometimes underestimate!) :)Luke Davidsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423937508361279968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173897028545102427.post-25622638711695614122010-03-18T20:40:47.773+11:002010-03-18T20:40:47.773+11:00Hahahah. Amazing!
Well I just read the comments a...Hahahah. Amazing!<br /><br />Well I just read the comments above and I would have said the same things, the fact that you created Jules just for that purpose though is fun, Dale's right he could easily have his own story! Though it would be a very frustrating story, everyone always getting the better of him ... hmm.<br /><br />Anyway I do love things planned from the start. X) (Not to derail too far, but I hope you're both watching Lost this season! There'll be fist-shaking if you aren't!! Fist-shaking I tell you!)<br /><br />It must be super fun to write this, planet destroyers and all the other crazy sci-fi action going on. What's great is that you've given yourself such an open-arena for creation. Literally anything can (and usually does) happen. X) <br /><br />Things look like they're coming to some kind of intergalactic climax though ... (did that sound wrong?? O_o) and I eagerly await the next chapter. :)<br /><br />Jimzip :DJimziphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00898047278409201807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173897028545102427.post-77029688097884800462010-03-16T13:55:08.432+11:002010-03-16T13:55:08.432+11:00Haha, yeah Jules was pretty much created to fill i...Haha, yeah Jules was pretty much created to fill in some time so I could end the chapter on the 'we just killed the dinosaurs' line. Otherwise it would've been too short to be a chapter. <br /><br />Happily his background all came about really quickly - I knew I needed a reason for a planet destroyer to shoot at them (despite Tonkins/Mykur saying not to) and it flowed from there. <br /><br />Oh and the killing of the dinosaurs was one of the few things planned from the start (along with gravity storms) - long before I'd read your book Mr Fforde so don't sue me! :P <br /><br />(Actually we should both sue him, Dale. He also hi-jacked your person who can make people forget thing! And your middle name! And from memory all in the space of one or two chapters. He's taunting us!)Luke Davidsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423937508361279968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173897028545102427.post-80213178077279400192010-03-16T11:31:40.368+11:002010-03-16T11:31:40.368+11:00'By High School, he'd hit the gym and anyo...'By High School, he'd hit the gym and anyone who was foolhardy enough to foolishly call him a fool.'<br /><br />Genius! :) Jules the Fool is a great idea for a character. If he doesn't come back I think there's some potential there for his own story!<br /><br />And I love the way you killed the dinosaurs. Reminded me of how Thursday's dad was the cause of life on earth (at the end of the second Jasper Fforde book).<br /><br />Didn't seem rushed at all!Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02364602836880880812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173897028545102427.post-78319699723929066412010-03-14T23:32:44.013+11:002010-03-14T23:32:44.013+11:00This ended up being a bit rushed - hope it doesn&#...This ended up being a bit rushed - hope it doesn't show too much!Luke Davidsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423937508361279968noreply@blogger.com
