LABYRINTH SEQUEL AND FANGIRLING

Hello once again, today is the day! League of Legends semifinals and Doctor Who!!! Whovians! You ready!? Summoners! You ready!? Let's get this party started! I'll start off with the Doctor Who review, since, it's going to start pretty much before the semifinals of League of Legends. So for now, let's talk about something else.

It's hella cold! Here in London, it's not that bad, but I am still cold...probably because I'm not doing much, but I'd rather be somewhere warm...oh well, this is the life I got...I gotta live with it. Anyway...Labyrinth...sequel...(Cue fangirl screams!!!!!!)

Last night I discovered the most exciting thing to ever happen in my obsessive life...The Henson Company is planning a Labyrinth SEQUEL!!!!!! I honestly can't wait for it...it's my dream come true! It's...gah! I can't even!!! Reading all the comments on the articles that profess this new development, I'm not quite sure I want this sequel anymore...You see you have to understand that Labyrinth came out in 1986, and it is 2014...many still want David Bowie's...uhem...you know...but looking at him now, I don't think he'll be right for the part...I hope they make the sequel classy, not something that pretty much does what every sequel does...SUCK! It's got to be good, my suggestion is, to have a completely different story, but let Sarah (i.e. Jennifer Connelly) and Jareth (David Bowie) cameo. If they're going to include the original cast, it's not going to be very good, Bowie isn't as...fit as he was before, and he was at his peak back then, Jenny (yes I'll call her what I want) is...well, no longer a teenager, so how are you going to use them for the cast. I'd prefer if it was a remake, but of course, people will be critiquing it a lot harsher than it really should be, so I won't say any more.

PEOPLE AT HENSON!!! PLEASE MAKE IT GOOD! I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO SAY THIS AGAIN!!!!!

So, now, let's talk about something different...No not going to happen, Labyrinth all the way!!! I hope they use one of the fan fictions on Fanfiction.net, there are so many good ones. I'm not joking, I may actually use one to create a film...not using their character names, but the stories themselves. These are really good stories. Like I said, I'm basing my story The Great Seven: Earth on these fan fictions, you all know! I am going to be uploading it soon...I'm on chapter 21 by the way, and almost on my way to finishing it. But yes, I hope they get inspiration there, because the theory on Tumblr is really lacking, I mean, come one, goblins that are the younger siblings, that weren't fetched by "Sarah" before time ran out...that's not really a very good theory. The ones about Jareth being (like the Doctor) the last of his kind, and trying to hold onto the very fabric of existence is probably cooler than the recurring adventures in the Labyrinth.

If I were to do a sequel, it would be based on either Of Dreams and Broken Things, What's Past is Prologue, or The End of Days. I'll post up the links later, but I would use either one of these as the basis, not that stupid theory on Tumblr (Sorry, I know it's not that stupid, but the background behind these ones are so much cooler. I mean, the fairy world on the brink of oblivion and destruction is so much better than a lonely magician who's gone insane and thinks every dark haired girl, called Sarah, is his Sarah.

I hope they think to use more of the underground, or the fairy world, like include other mythical beings like (and I know it's cliche, but hey, if it can fit) unicorns, pegasus, dragons, giants, etc. It would make the adventure even more epic, and more real for us, since CGI is a big thing nowadays

Anyway, that's my rant for now, and I leave you with another Labyrinth based picture, I found on DeviantART (oh and the link to the artist is actually on the picture so click it if you want to see more like it - NOT PROMOTING!):
(NOT MINE! NOT MINE NOT MINE NOT MINE!!!!!!!!!!!) ^^

One More Thing

Another update on my activities. I've finally finished all my assignments for university, so now I have four whole months to do pretty much whatever. So far it's been a weekend, and I've managed to keep myself busy, I've been writing a novel. Yes I'm trying that again, despite the fact I've already taken down "The Shadow's Descent".

However unlike "The Shadow's Descent" I'm not posting chapters in updates. Instead I'm going to write out the whole story, until it's end, because if I don't the inspiration will leave me and like all the stories that I've tried to do before, I won't finish it. So it will be a while before I'll upload the new blog, and upload the story, which will be in chapters, because I'm cruel that way.

Don't worry, each chapter will be refined and edited, to make it as special as possible, and hopefully it won't be so full of cheese and fluff as some of the stories I've done in the past - I've been reading fan fiction, and those who know the website, know what I'm talking about - and hopefully it will be readable. Although I'm not sure how long the novel will be, the chapters will be quite long, because I'm writing it in Word Document, and since the novel's inception on Friday night, I'm still at chapter 2, so yes it's going to be quite long, and I may perhaps split it into two.

I've already worked out the summary and details, all that's left is for me to write it, and the details of such will be on this blog instead of the story blogs, and I will post links to it, on each of them, i.e. there will be a link to the blog on the different pages of this blog, and the link of this blog will be on the different pages of the other blogs. So hopefully, if I don't screw this up, there will be a novel or a series for this new story.

Don't forget, I will also be posting up reviews of any film I've watch, but I believe those will be few and far between as right now I may not be able to visit the cinema in a while...no money and well...no time really...

But for now I will tease you with the prologue of this new story, and it's title...I'll work on the cover image, but for now, please bear with this little snippet:

The Last of the Dreamers

Prologue

Three violet figures stood sentinel in a small purple-grassed clearing. They were waiting, watching as the tall, white and silver figure stepped up a small pedestal, with a podium attached. On the podium was a large bronze bowl, filled to the brim with silver liquid, so clear and still, it reflected the moonlight that shone through the entwining branches of the silver crystal trees that surrounded them. The figure stood in front of the bowl bent low, looking intently at the silver liquid, her midnight blue hair the only thing visible, which flowed past her hood.
“My lady, can it be true?” A musical voice asked. One of the violet-robed figures stepped forward, lowering her hood to reveal a woman, with sky blue hair, eyes bright as amethysts, and skin as pale as snow, “Are we really dying?”
The figure standing at the bowl sighed, and straightened, she turned towards the woman, “Unfortunately Skeesa, it is. The Crystal Forest of Dreams is dying.” She said ominously. There was a collective gasps from the three figures.
“Surely there is a way to save the forest, Lady Ilya.” One of the other two figures asked, this voice was male.  As he spoke he lowered his hood, to reveal the lithe figure of a man, whose long hair was silver as the moon, and eyes as blue as the ocean.
The last figure also lowered its hood, revealing long dark lavender hair, and diamond coloured eyes, her voice was as smooth as the liquid in the bowl, “It cannot end this way my lady. Is there anything we can do?”
Lady Ilya sighed again, and lowered her hood, revealing the soft waves of her midnight blue hair, and dark indigo eyes that seemed to pierce the soul, “No Mael, there is nothing we can do. All we can do is wait.” She turned towards the middle figure, “Avarox, saddle my horse, as soon as you can, I ride for Irenia before dawn.”
The one called Skeesa frowned, “My lady, so early, why?”
Ilya turned towards Skeesa, “There is much to do. A line has been crossed, and only one path remains open now, only time will tell whether or not the forest can be saved, but time is of the essence. If I don’t leave now, perhaps this path will close too. Nevertheless, I must ride to Irenia, it is vital I intercede now.” She stepped down from the pedestal and walked over towards the remaining two figures, as Avarox had left to ready his lady’s horse.
Mael cautiously asked, “How long will you be gone my lady?”
Ilya turned towards her, “It is uncertain Mael. However I hope to return before the end of the month, my presence may be needed. If I do not return, summon the Kayn. The creatures of this forest must be protected; we do not want the curse that is Davaron to take them too.”
The two women bowed to Ilya, marking her departure, and spoke as one, “Yes my lady. It will be as you say.”
Without another word Ilya left the clearing, after Avarox. Not looking back. Ilya stepped lightly but determinedly towards the future, hoping beyond hope that she wasn’t too late.

ENJOY!!! ^^
