KOBK⦠we looking at any epilogue once chapter 12 completes? Actually hooked.
WHAT A FANTASTIC QUESTION FRIENDO! I think I can only respond to this in a series of visuals...
hey sorry to bother you but is there a eta on cue the music chapter 51? im really excited sorry : )
Preamble: forgive me my typos, writing this from my mobile at the office after not enough sleep and a 20 hour day of too many things yesterday π
First and most importantly: y'all are never a bother. Ask/inquire away, friendos! ππ
Second RE: CTM51: I wish I had a better reply for you, because I am really excited to try and get this chapter in particular out, however I'm not sure what to give for a time frame. The Saturday portion of the weekend that encompasses this chapter is going to be dedicated to the setup and play out of the surprise party the party elders and youngers are planning for Chrissy. The Sunday date portion of it will encompass Karen/Melissa's (KARESS, btw won the poll π) coffee talk scene(s?). For the Saturday scenes in particular I sat down and thought about what character combos haven't had a lot of pair up time with the intention of smashing them together for a large amount of small (for me?) length vignette scenes together chunked by morning start-the-day scenes, afternoon party planning/setup montages and keeping Chrissy distracted and nonethewiser, and night time party shenanigans and whatnots. All of which will move and setup specific later plot things.
The morning portion of those (7 scenes) are drafted so far. By my count afternoon has...10 scenes, and party/nighttime has 15. Coffee Talk with Karen/Melissa will come after that π. So I'm about 25% drafted. I do have time slated this weekend to hopefully chip away at some of the hit points on the remaining scenes, so it'll depend on how sleep deprived and over caffeinated I am how much of it I can plow through!
A combo of work brutality and a mixture of (more fun than work brutality at least) life events, insane heat spikes, Mercury being in the retrogrsde microwave and the general heat death of the universe have delayed my ability to have time to sit down and write out the scenes over the last about 3 weeks, rather unfortunately
Lastly: Small consolation prize, since the 12 KOBK chapters had already been written/completed before I started posting that atory, I still have a new chapter of that to post this week. So chapter 10 of KOBK will go up either tonight or tomorrow morning.
Thank you for coming to my TEDTalk π«Άππ
hi what are your pronouns

I just read your response to my last Anonymous Ask and the book is 1984 (I swear I'll finish it I'm almost there yes I know its a classic but its making me want to crawl out of my skin) and you are absolutely incredible for how much detail you put into this. I am so grateful for it and I too enjoyed the different relationships between characters especially with the way you've now written them. That conversation between Nancy/Karen literally touched my soul in season 3 and the way you've expanded upon their relationship even with the little details is absolutely incredible writing. I too am a huge music nerd and I really appreciate the way you've taken that plot line and built from it, in a way I truly believe music is a lifeline for people, maybe not in a dark wizards (then again you never know) but it truly is an incredibly powerful thing and I love the way you've included it into the story. I'll stop my rambling but I did just want to say a huge thank you for this incredible story : )
Ahhhhh, yes - classic indeed and very prescient to current times, unfortunately. "War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength." doublespeak to rule one and all. Definitely a heavy read for sure. A good one, but heavy nonetheless. Great book, though!
Thank you very kindly, friendo, for the compliments! It really does bring me joy knowing anyone else out there enjoys the little details and the relationship expansions I've been rooting and building through it! Makes me happy. π₯°
That Karen/Nancy scene in S3 makes me tear up every time. It, in turn, made me outright gasp and let out a "GURL, BITE YOUR TONGUE WTF!" during a specific scene in the One Way or Another book (being vague since I never know who's read what! π ). That aside, I really just wanted each of them to have at least one parent who had some level of understanding and who was actively trying to meet them somewhere for a relationship. I hadn't purposefully intended it to be their mothers in both their cases, but we obviously knew it wouldn't be Ted for Nancy. Robin/Melissa just shaped out how it did in the structural building, so here we are!
Obligatory comment: Karen and Melissa should leave their husbands and start a matriarchal commune. I said what I said and I meant it.
As a self-aware ramble queen - never apologize for or stop rambling, friendo! πππ«Ά
Howdy! Do you perchance still have the list/screenshots of what cassettes are on Nancy's nightstand? Asking for a friend. ;3c
(The ronance writer's guide will thank you. It's taking long enough to put together as it is.)
Unfortunately I didn't see this until I got to work, so I only have a couple off hand I can add here now. I don't think I ever definitively identified the bottom 3 fully. I have a list of best guesses. Ultimately in the chapter where that scene happens I went with what I thought fit Nancy for the time and some future plot things (based on posters and other context clue plus her general arc) so I settled on Jennifer Rush (the top tape, will show you in a moment), The Beatles (tied in to the comments later about Karen singing Beatles songs to her, so they're sentimental to Nancy), Blondie (she has their poster/calendar in her room) and The Cars (part of me was thinking of a few specific songs when I picked this one but could easily swap for The Bangles or Madonna). I wanted the second or last one badly to be a Eurythmics one in reality because I feel like Nancy would be very into them/Annie Lennox too (We Two Are One could possibly fit one of them potentially even, if one squints just right lol)
I also figured out some of fhe books that were under the tapes/on other shelves. I can send you updates when I am home BUT:
The top tape is absolutely Jennifer Rush's self titled album.
You can see the shape of her dancing on the front cover oc the stack plus the text on the spine fits her first/last name:
Here's what that album looks like:
I'm a huge fan of cue the music and have been rereading everyday waiting for Chapter 51 because this is wayyyyyyy better than the book I'm reading right now! What inspired you to want to write this and did you plan for it to be this long/longer?
π₯° Many thanks, friendo! Glad it brings you joy! What's the book you're reading?? Sorry in advance for the rambling I'm about to do........π
I'm going to put a cut break here to prevent overtaking people's feeds...
iβm actually almost at chapter 40! (on chapter 31 actually) as i read through over half the fic yesterday, (i stayed up until 6 a.m. my time zone wise because i have a couple days off work and what better way to spend that time ?) itβs so good! youβre writing is so amazing you have me actually loving the RoVickie portion of the fic as well π
Holy crow! As a lifelong chronically slow reader, I am always so impressed with how fast y'all can read!! (And only a little jealous lol π π ) Many thanks, friendo, it always makes me happy when people enjoy any of the stories as much as I do! π«Ά
But also, do catch up on sleep and hydrate if you haven't!! ππ

iβve recently started reading cue the music after i started reading kill or be killed and went to ur page and realized u had that huge 600,000 + word ronance fic, and im only on chapter 10 lol and i was just wondering if ronance has happened yet or not in the fic. regardless i shall keep reading, iβm just curious lol
Ahoy, friendo! Welcome aboard the good (verbose) ship CTM! I hope you enjoy the journey! It's quite a saga! (I'm clearly biased on that)
Yes! Ronance has happened in story already! It's official at ch40.
The S3/S4 changes/rewrites continue through about ch19 into ch20. After that the story is very much my sandbox! There is a subset of chapters featuring a short/temporary Rovickie ship while Nancy is figuring herself/some things out in parallel. π
Do you have any advice to anyone whoβs looking to write their first fan fiction? Maybe even specifically about Ronance
Ahoy, friendo! π
Gosh this feels like a loaded question if only because I imagine everyone writes in their own way! π
I guess my biggest advice would be to just dive on in and start writing. Whatever the thought/prompt/scene is that you have in your head that is the thing that's making you want to possibly start a Ronance fic, start writing that thing how you think it would go and run away with it.
You can always take multiple runs at it. You can build backstory from there then circle back. Or not if you don't want. You can begin the bones of a framework for the before and/or after. Or you could just drop a little oneshot to dip your toes in and maybe people's responses/reactions/questions, etc might lead to expanding it or making a series, or just lead to other prompts? The possibilities are endless, truly!
Most important: have fun playing in the sandbox, friendo! ππ«Ά
