See now, you sit there and think no one's going to be interested in your original work WIPs, and then here I come stomping in like, "Um, hell yeah I'm interested!" 👀👀👀
I love original stories, and Lord but do I miss working on my own stuff, which I keep shunting aside to work on fanfic instead. (I didn't share that long list of mine in my WIP post because I keep all my own stuff separate from this online identity).
But anyway, the one from your list that caught my eye most was Beyond Humanity. Care to share a little about it??
Oh gosh! An question about my writing stuff? Aaahhh!!!
Ahem. Okay, so first, hello! Thanks for the ask!
Beyond humanity is a story about a human (Relene) and a demon (Thera) who share a body because Relene was at the wrong place at the wrong time, and when Thera was fighting another powerful demon for the control of xir territory, the battle created a portal that sent them to Earth, straight to where Relene was. Despite winning the fight, Thera had to abandon xir body to survive and xir soul chose Relene's body as the most apt (available) vessel. Relene's not exactly happy with this (not that dying from overexposure to magic would have been /nice/), especially when she's told that when Thera eventually recovers enough to recreate xir body, xe would destroy *hers* on the way out.
The story follows as Thera is found and attacked by other demons that try to use the chance xe is limited by Relene's body to finally eliminate xim for good (which would erase all claims xe has to xir territory, leaving it available for other demons), and how Relene uses those chances to try to evolve her human soul by absorbing Thera's magic and developing her own, so she can survive their separation.
Oh! There's also Carmela (Relene's sister) who is trying to figure out what's wrong with her sister, much to Relene's dismay, since she doesn't want her getting in a situation similar to her own (much less straight up dying) if she catches her in the middle of a demon fight.
And that's Beyond Humanity's concept! The actual doc is a bit of scattered writing, but I do like a few of the sentences I have there, mainly this bit:
The truth was her burden and her solace. If she wanted to get rid of the first, she'd lose the second too. Equivalent exchange was a bitch like that.
Well, that's all I got here. I hope you like it! Also, I hope you get the time to develop your own original stuff, even if you don't share it here! OCs are precious things after all!
