hello theo tell me abt one of your current wips! 💜
hi maya !!
hmm i will talk a little bit abt a fic and a play that i wanna start working on more seriously soon!
anyway i have this merrily fic that i desperately want to finish which jumps around chronologically and explores a version of events where frank and charley have been sort of hooking up platonically since college and mary is still in love with frank and she doesn't know and it all comes out like. wayy too late for it to be okay and it's a mess. and nobody really gets resolution but hopefully i get a little catharsis
and then! i'm working on an explicitly queer bacchae retelling that i've been turning around in my head for a good while now but am having trouble getting to shape. i want it to be at least partially set in a gay club and pentheus' repression is a huge component and there's gonna be some sort of parallel w the whole agave thing with a drag mother..... idk i have very clear aesthetic and thematic ideas for it and now i just need to make it Work. luckily! i am in a playwriting class this semester and one of the prompts happens to be about writing an adaptation so i am going to take advantage of that to get the first 10-15 pages in place.
