blinks and hides her face
Mar. 16th, 2003 08:50 ammy head hurts. never never invite a Snape muse of any variety to help straighten out timelines.
unless, of course, he's wildy out of character and has thus lost the control freak/ ordering everything around him as precisly as his dungeons aspect.
because, you see, you may find out something that you'd rather not have dealt with.
i thought i had most of the stuff i've already typed up pretty well organised. i thought i knew where everything/one was.
and then i'm trying to work out what Snape's doing in Hourglass; and he suddenly informs me that i have way too short of a timeline, and X, Y and Z are also part of the same universe.
i say this is impossible, as they are fantasy and this is (supposed to be) science fiction
according to Snape, i have overlooked the fundamental facts of how magic works here: it functions like a tide, going in and coming out, sometimes leaving pockets like little pools of seawater after a high tide:what i thought was just science fiction is actually low tide, with the most important technology getting some of its power from the residule magic.
and then stands there waiting for me to get on with it.
ow ow ow ow! my head! (whimpers, whines, doesn't WANT to do this much work on internal consistency, WANTS to be a lazybutt)
but it explains why certain things had a feel to them that matched with what i'd been working on. i'm doomed. waaaah!
