Not so sanguine

[umpteenth-gail.livejournal.com]

Does everyone remember The Sanguine Cycle, by Han? I first found it in the archives, and then more chapters arrived. We got as far as chapter 17, with a delightful accompanying song sung by Han, that I kept. Then everything stopped.

Han, "woe_in_a_hoodie", where are you? I'm not severely vexed ;-) (except with LJ because it will no longer do a clickable link) but I am worried that this fine series will stay up in the air and not be finished. I mean, Bertie hasn't brought Jeeves to the dark side, yet. Any more? (hopeful look)

Han's doing Nanowrimo, actually. So Han'll be busy with that, as far as I know.

What a bizarre word, but thanks for the update. I hope she will come back one day, and not too long in the future.

Han's Boyfriend to the Rescue!

...Well, at least to explain.

Han is without internet at his home for the moment--with all luck he'll be moving to a place with a cable in a few weeks. But besides that...well, I've been trying to get him to post more of the Cycle. I just called in and read this entry to his ansaphone so hopefully that will inspire him a bit...

...After November's Madness (http://www.nanowrimo.org), of course.

Oh, thanks for letting Han know his fans are chasing him! That is kind. I thought Han was a woman because I thought Mourning Cabaret sounded as if it was sung by a woman. Oops!

Thanks for the link. The cartoon for the 1,000 words competition made me laugh out loud!

Han is both, actually--he's an androgyne (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Androgyne#Androgyne). However, he prefers the male pronoun by default, most of the time.

How interesting! Well, I hope Han is feeling creatively inspired with no nasty writer's block in sight. He will be glad when moving day is over. What a chore it is. And cable internet (sigh of envy)

Halloa! I am alive, so don't worry. I actually have two more installments of the Sanguine Cycle completed--I just haven't posted them yet. I'll get on it!

I'm glad to see that people like my work. ^^

(pounce) I have saved the next chapter on my hard drive and I'm going to take my time reading it. Thanks! BTW, I listened to Mourning Cabaret again and loved it again.

Would it be a bit cheeky to ask if you were inspired by Anne Rice or if you just did your own thing and didn't think about other fictional vampires?

It's obvious Colin is feeling the weight of eternity and has a story to tell. It would be very interesting to know how our sweet, innocent Bertie would turn out if he lived - or unlived - for 100 or 1,000 years, but I don't know if PG himself could work that out. :-) Equally interesting to speculate on how Jeeves would turn out after all that time as well.
