Huh.

I took this quiz and got this result. And I honestly can't figure out if it sounds like me or not.

You blend in and adapt well. You are quite flexible - you can change with the times.
You are an adept communicator, especially with difficult people. You know how to smooth things over.

You are more of a generalist than a specialist. You do many things well and can wear many hats.
You fit in well with any crowd. You immediately take the vibe of every room and adjust appropriately.

The secondary colors are: orange, green, and purple. They are made by mixing two secondary colors.
Like a secondary color, you are good at handling multiple strong personalities. You mediate well.


Quiz is here: http://www.blogthings.com/areyouaprimarysecondaryortertiarycolorquiz/

What I do know is that whoever made the quiz is inaccurate about how the colors are made. It's mixing two primary colors that makes secondary colors! Oy vey.

... I guess I think parts of both this result and the other two results sound like me. So if I took the pieces and blended them all together, I'd have something that sounds a lot more accurate. I certainly don't think I'm a mediator, or that I can handle difficult people. I usually feel more like throwing things at difficult people.

Fic Stuff

So I did end up writing a little fic for Footprints and hope to write some others. Gah, it was heartbreaking writing from H.M.'s character's point-of-view. In reviewing the revelation scene, I determined not only that the girl has matured beyond her old desire to be wealthy and rich, but that he was looking for her every day after her disappearance in the past. Oh gosh.

I'm still not quite sure how to interpret her disappearance, either. It seems to be half-metaphoric; it's definitely running parallel to the number of people who had dreams of Hollywood and never made it and quietly faded out of the public eye. But it's also quite literal. She really disappeared, for fifty-two years, and then suddenly popped up, still young, and with amnesia.

So what happened to her? Was she abducted and killed? Hit-and-run? Dead in any number of other ways but was allowed a second chance at life? Did she time travel instead and never died?

The creator encourages the viewers to come away with their own interpretations of things, so I'm guessing that's one of the blanks he wants them to fill in whatever way they feel is best. (I'm also hoping that means he wouldn't frown upon fanfics.)

And then there's the strange crossover piece I wrote with Duke Devlin and Snakes Tolliver. I keep picturing Snakes as a gambler, which makes me think of this idea I have where Duke goes off to Los Angeles to get away from Domino after he has a meltdown following Lead Me Through the Fire. Duke gets hired by one of H.M.'s Perry Mason characters to come work in his casino. And Snakes comes to the casino to gamble, he and Duke play poker, and eventually strike up a weird partnership with Duke excited over Snakes being from the past and hoping Snakes can help him find a way to get David back.

I'm not quite sure how the piece fits into the canon of Lead Me Through the Fire and the sequel, since much less time is supposed to pass between them, while this other, new timeline makes it seem like at least a couple of years before Duke discovers a way to bring David back.

I'm also not sure how it fits in between The Night of the Time Travel and The Night of the Deadly Codename, particularly considering what I had planned for Snakes in the latter.

The latter fic is heading towards the climax, and while I don't want to get there too fast, I don't want to drag it out, either. I'm thinking I need to start preparing to hit the climax within the next chapter or so, however.

It's going to be strange to get done with that fic. It's supposed to be the last in the series, although I will leave things open enough that I can write more if I get a plunnie. And I plan in any case that I'll be writing supplemental Livejournal-only material.
