I used to dream I was being chased by really goofy cartoon vampires.
Though there's a dream thread in the Off Topic place, so maybe we should stop.

It seems like we're working on the historical background, and not the plot. I mean, what's gonna happen apart from them dreaming they were Egyptians? (Reminds me of a Wonky title...)

Ri

First off, haha to the hilarious innuendo.

Second, I think I interpreted that right, and believe you're correct.

Wonk like an Egyptian? Teehee...


Kristina

Well, I learned form the best... meaning everybody who's got an innuendo side. I'm not sure whether I have one, or whether I am just innuendic sometimes.

Mhm. I think not everybody is informed about this though, so I'll just say this so everyone can see it:

We are neither changing Draco's and Ginny's names, nor their personalities

Yes. Who thought of that title again?

Ri

Well, most Wonks have an innuendo side. But perhaps you're still just catching on?

Just repeating it. So basically, Draco and Ginny are the same people, but everyone AROUND them in the dreamworld sees them not as Hogwarts!DracoAndGinny, but as AncientEgyptian!DracoAndGinny. Make sense?

Me. I don't think of many good Wonky titles, so I'll brag a little bit here.


Kristina

I don't know. I think I'll have an Innuendo side when I feel ready for it. But I might just develop one now, because of that Queen song...

Sorry for making this so big, but I just thought that we should post this at the top of the page, since not everybody reads other people's posts *grumbles*. And it did make sense, yes.

Ah, I experienced the very same thing. I still think that 'Just keep Wonking' was one of the best thread titles

Ri

Oh no, not another Wonky thing I missed? Queen song?

Good. And thanks for posting it big. Everyone should see it that way now.

Ooh, nice one. I don't think I went to Wonky during that thread title.


Kristina

Er, it's not a wonky thing. Just a song, by Queen. It's called Innuendo, and existed long before most of the people on Wonky even knew what innuendo means.

Mhm, I hope so. The next person that asks about whether we'll call them Draco and Ginny or not is going to be scalped, so beware folks, because Ri has never scalped anybody in her life, and thus might make the process even more painful than it already is *glares intimidatingly*

I'm pretty sure you didn't. It was because I was infecting everybody with 'just keep swimming'

Ri

Learning what?

Ohhh.. when I hear Queen around here I think Sandra for some reason, sorry for the confusion.

I second this threat.

Ahh! I'm glad I missed that one!

So on to plot. What should happen in dreamworld?


Kristina

Heh. That it's easier to say 'all quotes are Kristina's' in the beginning than to always write your name in the quote tag *sheepish grin*

's okay, and kinda understandable.

Why? don't you like Finding Nemo?

-- Loooads of UST. You can have that PG-13-y too.
-- amoebic dysentery
-- some conspiracy?
-- NO forced marriage (-> All you need is love)
-- Draco feeding peasants to crocodiles, hehe. Sorry. Not funny.
-- Ginny must (!!!) have a cat. Cat's were holy for Egyptians!
-- Cameos, anyone?

Ri, just writing things off the top of her head

Yeah, I was so thrilled when I figured that out too.

Haha.. I like finding Nemo, but don't like being infected!

Er...

Of course. This is an obvious must.

What?!

*muffles laughter* Right. Not funny at all.

Yeah, I was thinking this earlier. Or maybe Draco could have a cat. He seems like a cattish type guy.

How are we going to force them to have contact?

Oh, one main plot point. Are they going to seek eachother out because they don't know anyone in this world but each other? Or are they still going to hate each other in dreamworld too, and be forced to work together for some reason?


Kristina

Look it up in an encyclopedia

How about Ginny's cat likes him a lot better than her?

Ri

I'm a litte bit confused I think.

More work for me!

Eh, that sounds a bit too much like The Weasel and the Kneazle...


Kristina

Hm, I'll try to rephrase this. Ginny is Cleopatra's double. They resemble each other. Draco is friends with Cleopatra (or so they tell him). Plot idea: loooads of D/G moments, because Draco has to deal with her as she is Cleopatra's double.Somebody is conspiring against Cleopatra, wants to kill her. Ginny naturally thinks it's Draco. Draco's searching for the real person trying to kill the queen. Somebody might actually kidnap Ginny at some point, and Cleopatra sends Draco out to search for her. Or something. This is very confusing.

okay, amoebic dysentery is what tourists often get in Egypt. Amoebs are bacteria, and you get diarrhoe when infected.

oh, yeah, right. I knew that the idea sounded familiar somehow

Ri

Hm.. that kind of makes sense. And it's intriguing... What do other people think?

Sick.


Kristina

I don't know. Did you notice any posts between yours and mine?

Yes, sick is the right word. Another one would be 'ill', by the way, or gastrointestinally obstructed

Ri

Eewwwww...

Baha.

Cats rock!

I am all for it!

I like this idea....





Faith

Okay, another yes..

I say we should start developing a plot a little bit more.. and then we start. it's time, really.


Kristina

Not all cats rock. Mine, for example does not rock. It's the most vicious and cold-blooded creature I've ever seen. He (for it's a tom-cat) does not like anybody to pet him, does not get that he's castrated, and therefore is as bad as any un-castrated male cat concerning being territorial, loves to fight, and likes to drag dead mice or birds into our bedrooms.

Oh, good. I'd like to have one too, I think. It's because of my ego, I think.

Er, this is not exactly the place to post this. How about you PM her?

Plot, okay. But I've got some other questions first: Do we start with a dream, or with RL? I guess a dream would be better, but that's just my opinion. What do you say? And how long are these dreams going to be? Are Draco and Ginny going to talk about the dreams at some point in RL? Is there some kind of connection between dreams and RL? Because if they're just dreams, and nothing more, we could kind of kill Ginny (or Draco) at the end in the dreams, and make Draco (or Ginny) realize how much the other meant to him (her) and tell her in RL. But no fluffy ending, please. Just a hint or something. Or, gah, I don't know. It's just a proposition. I guess I'm just procrastinating, because I'm afraid of writing the first part.

Ri

I think we should start with a dream, I think they should be fairly long, and pleeeeease no fluffy endings. But I like your idea, too.



Faith, understanding about vicious cats, having four

Ooh. Ooh! plot bunnie!

I love the idea of one of them dying, and the other one being really torn up about it. What if the things going on in the dreams vaguley resembled things going on in RL? So that when one dies in the dreams, the other thinks they may have died in RL as well.

Is that a cool idea?

I think it would be cool to start with them getting ready for bed. Just so we don't do the cliche "and then they woke up" thing.


Kristina

*chokes* Interpret wrongly? My whatever do you mean?

I think: Yeah! We have a plot! Oh wait has everyone approved?
Very interesting Ri.

Ooh, ooh! Me likie! How do you people think up these things? And I agree about starting as they get ready for bed. We want to avoid those nasty cliches.

I just realized that this might turn out to be pretty long...

Well, most of my ideas are just spurred off of everyone else's ideas. I just build on the creativity.

Glad you like the idea. What about the rest of you?

Well the H/Hr RR's are pretty prestigious... we should move ours up a bit in formality.

Maybe we could get a D/G RR subforum so we could have a planning thread AND a posting thread in a neat little corner of PK.. any Mods wanna bring this up with the Admin?


Kristina

I don't know, all I can tell you is that the mind works rather strange in the wee hours of the night.

Ri

off to school

I like it too!




Faith

Shall I ask Pen to ask one of the Admins? There's not many mods here on the D/G forums.

Ri, who likes all of your ideas

Sure.

In the mean time, ploooooot...


Kristina

And what about me ? I asked after all!

Ri, who feels that this particular OT-comment was necessary.

We don't hafta bother NAPPA with such little things. We should just PM a Mod.

I'm excited bout this RR forum. I will toooo...

Teehee. Of course, Ri, you ROCK!
