Her Name is Chi

And she is me.

Or at least, she's loosely based on me. Granted, she's a little thinner, and her hair is longer. She has super thick hair down to her waist, and it's always going everywhere. She has my brown eyes with fantastic eyebrows and my adorable button nose. She's got my olive skin tone and wide hips. Like me, she wears only black. She's a lesbian, like me, and loves coffee. She's a sarcastic geek with quirky habits.

She is a barista, working in the world of Tithe, Valiant, and Ironside. I'm writing a fanfiction for that series. It's a few years after the events of Ironside, and Chi is an employee at Kaye's coffee/book shop, Moon in a Cup. Everything is normal.

Then a woman charges into the shop, interrogates and curses Chi, and leaves.

What? But why? When Corny (now called almost exclusively "Neil"), Kaye, and Chi seek answers, Chi's curse is quickly lifted, but it leaves behind more questions. The woman was working for someone; who? Why did she curse Chi? Where are the disappearing fey going? Who wants Kaye, and why? Why is Chi missing her memories? Will Corny and Luis get back together? Will Kaye and Chi end up together? (No. They won't. Kaye is already paired with Roiben.)

Oops. A spoiler. Which is fine, since that what readers would have expected anyway. The real mystery is what's in store for Chi.

I have the whole story plotted out. It's going to be novel length, maybe a little bit short. I've been working on it. I won't be able to work on it this week because I have tests, but I'm hoping for next week. I absolutely refuse to post any of it until I have the whole thing done. This is just in case a) I turn into a slacker and never get it done (don't want people to enjoy the first few chapters, only to be disappointed that they'll never know how it ends), and b) so I don't end up having to fix plot holes in the early chapters as I write the later ones.

So that's what up. Just felt like writing a quick post about it, I guess.
