It's in the family
May. 30th, 2009 02:26 pmA while back I asked mu Mum whether I could use certain events in a story that she owns the rights to. Now she wanted to know what came of it and I filled her in about fanfiction.
Instead of saying that I am doing strange things I could literally hear her shrug when she said:
"Oh, you've been doing this for ages!"
Huh? Care to elaborate?
Apparently, I had a bit of an obsession with the 'Odysee' when I was about eight years old. No, I don't claim to have read Homer at that age. I watched the film with Kirk Douglas as Odysseus.
I liked playing with my Mum's old type writer at the time and I must have written a story about Odysseus not leaving Circe's island but staying there, having to take on a boring office job (!) since Circe was feeling he was getting too lazy with her providing everything by means of magic. o_0
My Mum says it was about one page long and she still has it somewhere. I only have very fuzzy memories of this.
Now Tania has written her first story. And she didn't even ask for spelling help. This is it:

If you can't make out what it says, it goes like this:
The Rainbowfish
Once upon a time there was a fish called Rainbow.
The end.
:-)
Today she painted a picture of "Rainbow Cat". I see a series coming on :)
