More Writing Stuff

I'm decided last Monday that I wanted to write something for 8/13 (aka Akuroku day). I... I so didn't make the deadline but I've been plowing through. So far I'm up to about 11,000 words (~22 pages with not a lot of dialogue), which is the fasted I've ever written ANYTHING in my entire life time and... Axel hasn't even come in yet. I KNOW! Here's some goals I have for this fic:

  • Actually have Roxas sound like a boy
  • Actually writing Roxas as a 15 year old (to me there's a HUGE difference from being 15/16/17)
  • Explore one of my favorite bits of KH magic, aka the fact that Roxas' power is light and Axel's is fire
  • Not jumping in with Axel too quickly
  • Following along my basic Roxas story flow which mirrors the first 6 days in T.T.
  • Attempt to make a realistic parallel KH world.
  • Fantasy elements, which I've never done before

So far I think I've accomplished most of that. Specially with the Axel bit (WHY HASN'T HE BEEN INTRODUCED YET? IF IT TAKES 12K WORDS TO GET TO AXEL... HOW LONG WILL THIS NIGHTMARE LAST?!) My goal was to be upwards of 20k words... but I'm probably looking at 30k-ish now. Which means if I keep up at this pace I'll be done by next week. Right now the story is taking a bit of an unexpected turn, somewhat spurred on by a conversation I had with my little sister while playing through the 4th day.

Chances are... I will post this up if you guys show a hint of interest. For those of you who maybe tempted to throw a hint out at me... remember that first bit when I said it was originally being written for 8/13 ...so there'll eventually be some man-loving (though I can almost guarantee no sex because 1. Roxas is 15 and 2. I don't like writing sex scenes). So... hint if you're interested.

OUR GOD IS AN ANGRY GOD

Roxas = Gang?

So I'm currently watching my friend play my very own copy of Re:COM, and we've had a couple of memes thus far that we like to scream out while playing it. One of them is repeating "Roxas" over and over again, via DiZ and Axel in KH2.

So we heard one of the girls getting locked into the bathroom, so we starting screaming 'Roxas'. Two minutes later four BUFF African American guys show up, and they've got the whole 'gangsta' look going on. My roomie opens the door and we're like, totally confused and a little bit scared. They ask us what we were yelling about, so I explain it's a joke for the video game we're playing, and he asks if I'm sure... and yes, I was so they left.

Umm...is Roxas slang or something? Does it have something to do with gangs? I mean, we've been yelling about all night long... Anybody know any reason why the word 'Roxas' would upset/offend anybody? 'Cause this isn't going to stop bugging me anytime soon and I'm no google sleuth.
