REbirithing a universe... man I need a drink...

Rebuilding the Nightgames universe is a pain in the ass.

Currently taking stock of all the characters and crap I've created for that story world and having to take an axe to it to take it down to it's bare timbers so I can rebuild it.

Basically I'm leaving just a very few core characters and rebuilding. The world has to Support Nightshade, Blake, Legion, Claudius, Sheridan, Lily, and Michael - I'm going to leave things open for other of the characters / creatures / races I created to be able to exist in future stories but right now my main goal is to get the "origin story" out of the way, and then I also want to make sure that Back in Black is done. Then I can worry about the other stories from there.

Slight rewrite of history and religion - Slight rewrite of the Were - Major Rewrite of Vamps - and then working on how "magic" works.

Vamps play a major role - None of the main characters are Vamp but they may come to play. Sheridan / Hunter - is a Werewolf The Majority of the second string characters are Angels and Demons, and then the Princes - humans with angel or demon ancestors who have the divine spark.

I already know how I'm dealing with Fae - Yes I realize this is sounding like a Bad Urban Fantasy stew, but they have a purpose and there is another story budding in the BG of my gourd that deals with them in this universe.

I've not been a total slackass I swear.....

Okay been a while since I posted here I realize it looks like I'm falling back into slackassitude. Actually I've been dealing with family stuff, and also working on putting everything together for a Podcast - The Behind the 8 Podcast - more details there when I can finally get some usable audio, though I'm about ready to just say fuck it you can listen to my youngest give her opinions in the background - Small house crappy sound insulation means that a mouse farts in the back room it sounds like a shotgun in the front room.

I've been working on what I want to do with the podcast and struggling with that - It's likely going to be a mish mash of stuff, media reviews, Hi I'm a big geek and this is what's happening in my life, Rants and more - The main goal is to help me with my fiction writing - Right now my fiction is very muddled with projects bleeding over into each other - I'm trying to step back from my fiction and come back with a fresh perspective, in the meantime since my writing habits suck and I've wanted to do one for years I'm going to try a podcast - There will be things I have to write - I'll have deadlines which I need, and start getting into a writing habit period (mine doesn't even suck it just doesn't exist)then eventually when I can come back to my writing I will try to work on the 1st book in my Nightgames series and if and when I finish it and get a couple passes of editing on it I will release it as a Podcast novel. It allows me to do what I've always wanted to do with this series of stories and maintain creative control I'd much rather bring it in a visual medium but I don't own a production company and even if I did I can't cast myself as the main character in a live action version of this story because my fast ass is in the wrong shape - Nightshade is not round, maybe a little soft in a few places but not round....
