#forcestuck

I did end up writing what I’ve got for it down in my notes app, but in doing so I’ve come up with lots more ideas for the universe and hopefully the eventual fic! I’m currently at a bit more than 5,000 words of notes, and I have lots more ideas than what’s written too. Feel free to ask me anything about this! I’m dying to share, but nobody I know irl cares at all about any of this stuff, so I’m really hoping some of y’all will take an interest! Not to mention that figuring out how to answer your questions will help me formulate and structure my ideas, as well as helping my motivation in this area.

Also, just in general feel free to ask me about stuff, especially my fics, fis ideas, and AUs. Right now I have 144 documents in my notes app! Not all of these are fic related, but I’d guess that at least half of them are, and even some of the ones that aren’t are original works that I’d be willing to share.

Look. Most of this stuff is never going to see the light of day as things are. I’m not the best at writing notes, but I’ve gotten a lot better. Unfortunately this mean that things I started in the the past worse and less notes than the things I’m actively working on now. There’s stuff that I’ve read recently and gone “wow this is great!….. I have no idea where I was going with this.” Things I’ve drawn charts and maps and timelines for that I’ve forgotten many of the details of. I used to be so paranoid about people ”stealing” my work that I’d never post any of it until I was sure I could complete it, and…. I’d never get to that point. Now I feel like if someone runs away with my fic or au ideas, well, on some level, all the better. At least the ideas are out there, and there’s no reason that should stop me from working on, writing, and (hopefully) publishing the versions of those ideas that I hold dear.

And anyway, isn’t that the point? That someone will fall enough in love with your idea, your world, your characters that they want to imagine them further? To see what other stories those ideas can make?

.

I don’t know. I guess just. Ask me. About ForceStuck (still don’t have a better name for it :P), about my other works, about… virtually anything.

Theres a planet named “Neelgaimon”

So I'd wanted to try my hand at working on a Homestuck AU for a while now, but for a very long time all of the ideas that came to mind were already taken - Harry Potter, Wild West, superheroes - by awesomely creative and talented folks! 

But then, when trying desperately to avoid falling into the allure of a certain BioWare MMO, I wondered what the Homestuck kids might be like in the Old Republic. The idea took root. And thus, we have Forcestuck. 

As one might expect, it's a Star Wars Homestuck AU set not in the Old Republic, but several hundred years after the original trilogy (which puts it a century or two after the current furthest point in the EU), in which our beloved Homestucks are Jedi trainees at the newest academy set up after the latest great Jedi purge, because those things happen with all the regularity of the rising of the sun. 

Alternia?

The kids are still the human kids as we know them, but the big question that I still haven't resolved was; what do we do with the trolls?

My first inclination was to make all the trolls different SW races - Terezi could be a Miraluka with her Force vision, Equius a tremendously STRONG Wookiee with a lifedebt to whatever Nepeta was, Feferi a Mon Calamari and Eridan a Quarren, etc. And I still really do love the idea of Vriska as a Bothan or Twi'lek!

But the problem there is that not everyone would be familiar with all the myriad races, and maybe the characters wouldn't be so recognizable to people if they looked so different. I was also having trouble thinking of different races for everybody!

The other option, of course, is to simply have Alternia another planet in the SW universe. Maybe headcanon that it was in the unexplored regions of the galaxy, the Condesce's fleet encroached upon inhabited space and there was a war in which she was defeated. Then the trolls could be the trolls as we know them! 

The problem there of course is that it makes it feel a little less Star Wars-y if the only races at the Jedi academy are trolls and humans (and maybe some original characters).

Option three is to use both - some of the trolls will be other races, and some will be trolls as we know them, but that just feels arbitrary!

So, before we get started on this crazy Star Wars venture... what do you all think?
