well, I'm at about 27k on the nano. Got another of the fade-to-black scenes out of the way. (ie, I can go back and add the porn if I'm desperate, but I really want to get the damn *plot* done or at least advanced) Caspian was having to forcibly remove Peter's hands and going 'can we please go somewhere I can get my clothes off, because I'd like *not* to mess up my best gear, and you can damn well do your own clothes because I cannot figure out the fastenings on your sodding old-fashioned clothing!' Today, the revels get started :rubs hands gleefully: Oh, Telmarines and Narnians, you have no fucking idea.... MWHAHAHAHAHA.
Hmm. Speaking of which, this is the public return of Bacchus. (he's been harassing Edmund since Beruna but promised him he'd give them a bit of space to at least get started on stuff) I can say with certainty that he *definitely* hasn't been around since the Telmarines took over Narnia (which according to the timeline is only about 300 years - the Pevensies left Narnia 1000 years before *that*, so yeah, you can't blame *everything* on the Telmarines, aside from the forcible silencing which they quite happily admit to. I'm guessing the destruction of Cair Paravel and it becoming a no-go in the fight for power directly after was sometime quite soon after the Pevensies disappeared, given that Edmund's chess set was littered around. On the other hand, it's possible the Telmarines destroyed Cair Paravel as an emblem/base when they got there. Then again, how the fuck did they not ever mention/know the location of Cair Paravel if it was only 300 years ago? You'd think it'd be recorded as a glorious victory and raided to *fuck*, and the Pevensies' stuff would be everywhere in Cair Paravel - at the very least some coins, goblets, carvings or tapestries, so they'd not be so much mythic as actual history. Not to mention the peninsula has become an island, and unless there was a mass of storms and landslides that would still be etched in memory in very recent history... Fuck. I think I've just reasoned myself out of that possible theory. FINE. Cair Paravel was a ruin before the Telmarines ever got there and it was done in the wars directly post-disappearance.)
So. Huh. Theories of when Bacchus stopped coming around? There's no *actual* memory of him aside from a few of the older trees and the River God, just tales (ie they have no fucking idea what they're letting themselves in for), so did he stop coming soon after the Pevensies disappeared - same time as Aslan, the Age of Gods - or did he keep going for a few hundred years after that? I'm thinking it's got to be at least 500 since he was last here. Feel free to contradict me or post your own theories.
This new way of working at nano (ie, not doing specifically chronologically and posting each bit as it gets done) is kinda interesting, since I've found myself adding a sentence here and there or correcting details when i go back to check plot points. Still goign to have the fun of sorting it out into chronological when I finish, though.
Feel that I must hit Ross at work with something heavy. He's hit 44k. This is not just procrastination and filler, he's apparently mostly done with the plot too.
Self, go and book the damn sadlers' wells tickets.
