the cork

My muses, because it's more fun having more than one of them. I started off with Cherry and Mempi, who started seriously sucking around the beginning of 2007. Then at the end of semester one 2007, when I had PILES of stuff I had to write and draw and study for at uni, Cabernet Sauvignon appeared, and I got everything done. Cherry and Mempi got the sack, and Cab Sav took prime position. She's now the captain of the Cork, which has a crew. They're the Cork's crew. Sallie named their ship, cos she's witty like that <3 The muses can be anything, really, but pirates are most fun.

Cabernet Sauvignon

charge~ uni-related (assignments and exam revision)
She started out as a sword-collecting warrior in Guild Wars, a game I love playing with my friends, and now she's taken the position as captain of the Cork. She doesn't really have a character, because she acts as my clothes horse. If ever I want to draw an outfit none of my Tsyllaes characters would ever wear, it goes on Cab Sav. It has become apparent through this, however, that she loves boots. It's all~ about the boots. She also loves swords, as evidenced by her collection on Guild Wars. Muse-wise, she's in charge of the uni stuff--assignments and exam revision. Tough job, but she does it fabulously =D

Semillon Blanc

charge~ drawing
Semillon also started life in Guild Wars, as a pants-loving mesmer, because while I love my Lynnlita, she'll never be seen dead in any of the pants-based armour sets, no matter how gorgeous they are. So that's the basis for Semillon Blanc. She specialises in Illusion and Inspiration magic, with a bit of paragon's Motivation thrown in. Now come on, for a muse? That's perfect. She also loves boots, as any memser should, and will develop a mask collection as impressive as Lynnlita's as soon as I can be bothered <3

Sparkling Shiraz

charge~ Silent Harmony
Had a brief life as an elementalist in Guild Wars. As a result, she's probably a bit of a pyromaniac. Also, being in charge of Silent Harmony, she probably has a taste for Liquid Sunsets X3

Grenache

charge~ other creative writings
First of the male members of the crew. Dunno squat about him yet.

Merlot

charge~ revellations
Whenever I just get a snap idea about the fic, Merlot's the one it gets attributed to. Any question that's been bubbling in my head for months or even years, sometimes it just snaps as to what it's all about. Like why the twins don't talk. What Yan's motivations are. What the ending to the smegging story is. How that character fits in. All of that is Merlot's area. As a result, he's very hard to have a conversation with--always jumping from topic to topic with little to no correllation between them X3

Sangiovese

charge~ painting (digitally and physically)
I'm thinking she's probably quite messy. Beyond that, we'll decide later on.

Sparkling Brut

charge~ web design
He's a bit of a bore, because there's only so much fun to be had in staring at code for any period of time. Especially when it doesn't work. He will hack at it with an axe until it does work, tho. Probably related to Sparkling Shiraz in some way. Younger brother, perhaps?

Pinot Noir

charge~ French
Just because French writing requires different thinking to English. He probably knows a million other languages, too, but I only need him for French.

Chardonnay

charge~ editing
Chardonnay hates herself. Critisises herself all the time, because that's what you do when you edit.
