laisse le vent emporter tout
Jun. 11th, 2005 01:54 amHm . . . energetic day. Collected my jpqueen package from the post office pre-work, and had the pleasant experience of carting it round for the rest of the day while not reading it in public. (Something to do with the books inside the package.) Made up for this on getting home. Mmm, One Piece doujinshi.
Also finished that One Piece / Lovecraft fic. (http://homepages.tcp.co.uk/~maya/fanfic/oplovecraft.html) Lovecraft is so very pasticheable, if that's a word. Was fun to write. Gibber. Froth.
Was tired enough this evening that I just defrosted some bread and made a sandwich rather than cooking. This would probably have been healthier if I hadn't also defrosted several slices of gache to go with it. Ah well.
Must not, not, not, not, not forget to watch Doctor Who tomorrow. Must not.

The stages of rpg developing
Outline: The Developer works up the outline, and sends it to writers.
First Draft: The writers take the outline and work up the first drafts, then send them back to the Developer.
Redlines: The Developer takes the first drafts and applies red ink liberally. "Fix this, you hippy!" is a common quotation. Sometimes, you just get pages stamped with crimson skulls and crossbones.
Final Draft: After they stop weeping, authors make the changes the Developer has asked, and generally spiffy up the material.
Development: The developer then goes through and makes sure everything lines up, that the text looks decent, and the like.
Editing: The compiled manuscript is then sent to editing. Editors do their thangs.
Final Development: Developer has a tiny bit of time to go through and check out the edits made by the editor, before making sure that the formatting notes for Layout are done.
Layout: The manuscript is sent to Oz, where the magical leprechauns and winged lemurs make art appear, and transform simple pages of text into an actual book. We don't *really* know what happens at this stage, honestly.
Bluelines: The development team (Developer, Managing Editor, Art Director and sometimes other folks) scour over the manuscript to fix stuff that needs to be fixed and can be fixed at this point in the process.
Printer: The less we speak of this, the better.
Book: Poof! A book appears!
