In an effort to insure that "Song of the Goddesses, The Test of a God, and The Eye of Heaven" are available for posterity and for public comment and criticism, I've decided to post all three pieces, chapter by chapter in a new blog called The Tea Room. It is located at omgfanfics.blogspot.com I intend to post each chapter every day or two until the 40+ chapters and 175 pages of both pieces are up. I want to make sure that in case of something untowards happens, the pieces survive. I put a lot of time and effort and burned up more than a few brain cells in writing this stuff and I have subjected it to public scrutiny on www.fanfiction.net to mostly positive reviews. And I just want to make sure that it's always available to anyone who wants to check it out. Please leave comments and constructive criticism.
I figure that all this fan-fiction writing will provide with the training I need to eventually set out on a full-fledged writing project that includes characters and a world of my own creation. Because the characters in the three pieces are fully baked in the Oh My Goddess franchise, I can concentrate on learning how to tell a story. Once I get that part down, then I can work on developing my own characters and world. I haven't quite figured out what I want to do yet. It's safe to say that it will be a futuristic sci-fi piece, probably of the utopian/cyberpunk genre. I like sci-fi in general and futuristic works in particular. Of course this will require a lot more work in terms of research and note taking. And I don't know when I will start on this thing. Probably after the completion of "The Eye of Heaven" which is a very long way from being done. But the Tea Room is a good way of allowing me to put together two activities that I love: Oh My Goddess, and writing.
