New fic started: Across the Universe 1/5

Beta by @andordean and @merulanoir

This one is completely me being self-indulgent and having fun with plot bunnies. I'll be updating as I go, and I expect it to be fairly frequent. ❤️💕

Oh life, it's bigger It's bigger than you And you are not me The lengths that I will go to The distance in your eyes Oh no, I've said too much I set it up That's me in the corner That's me in the spotlight Losing my religion Trying to keep up with you And I don't know if I can do it Oh no, I've said too much I haven't said enough I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try Every whisper Of every waking hour I'm choosing my confessions Trying to keep an eye on you Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool Oh no, I've said too much I set it up Consider this Consider this, the hint of the century Consider this, the slip That brought me to my knees, failed What if all these fantasies come Flailing around Now I've said too much I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try But that was just a dream That was just a dream That's me in the corner That's me in the spotlight Losing my religion Trying to keep up with you And I don't know if I can do it Oh no, I've said too much I haven't said enough I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try But that was just a dream Try, cry, why try That was just a dream Just a dream Just a dream, dream

Hi Lovely!!

LISTEN I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH of course I was going to add it!! (I’ll add the other one too, I just prefer separate posts for each song). LOL Pining Azzie, or Pining Crowley??? YOU DECIDE LOL!! I’m leaning more towards Azzie, as he struggles with his feelings for Crowley. AHHH I love dying LOL.

EDIT:

How do you feel about Gaunter O'Dimm?

Oh, I adore Gaunter. Fell in love with him the moment I started Hearts of Stone. He’s my favourite kind of villain - affable, charming, and pleasantly eccentric, but with the capacity to be extremely evil and cruel. I’ve played in his nightmare world about five or six times by now (I have a save just before it for that purpose), just because I love the comments he makes. And his laugh. What a great laugh. 

That world of his is also really interesting because it’s when he really starts to become unhinged and show his true colours. He’s not someone who’s particularly overt about his cruelty and evil; he maintains an air of affability even when he’s doing repugnant things like sticking spoons in peoples eyes and reducing someone to dust, so it’s easy to like him and think he’s not all that bad... but you get to the mirror world he creates and he drops all pretenses and suddenly he’s dangling your loved ones off ledges and delighting in your grief when you fail to reach them in time, laughing at your confusion and failure, mocking you, throwing powerful enemies at you to make an almost impossible challenge even more difficult, nearly killing you by sending you through the floor, and if you lose he looks incredibly malicious. His tone of voice even shifts entirely.

He’s just a really nicely designed character. I like him a lot.

What's your favourite monster?

Higher vampires count as monsters, right...? I love every form of the higher vampire. 

I also think Leshen’s are about the coolest monsters I’ve ever seen in a game. When I first fought one I was in awe. 

Did you free the Tree Spirit?

4) favorite characteryou’ve written

Character(s). Because there are so many. Ceirin, Teldryn, andthe whole thieves guild for my tes AOAAR series. Regis for my witcher series.

15) why did you startwriting?

For fun. Like..why does anyone write fanfic? Its sure ashell not for the money. : ) And because I wasn’t finding the stories I reallywanted to read.

19) when it comes tomore complicated narratives, how do you keep track of outlines, characters,development, timeline, ect.?

How do I what now? Lol. Disclaimer: I can talk a good gamebut I am actually very disorganized. Here goes.

For every longer fic I write, I create a folder. In thatfolder I have: 1. An outline (revised as I make changes), 2. a list of ideas in no particular order (includesthings like possible plot points or oc names as well as anything I need toresearch.I cross stuff off as I use it), 3. a separate file labeled {fic title}_random.And 4, any finished chapters, numbered in order.

The random file is where all those scraps of things go whenI know them, but I don’t necessarily know where they fit yet. The dialogue Ithink up at 3am but don’t have a scene for yet, stuff like that. Sometimeswhole chapters end up in there and then get pasted and copied in to place onceI see where they will work in my outline. And if I have to edit out a large chunk…Idrop it back into the random file in case its of use later. Sometimes thoseodds and bits end up in a different fic altogether. Or make for a short ficleton their own.

This allows me to get writing done as inspiration hits me,rather than stressing about the order its happening in.

Chapter 2 of Across the Universe is now up on AO3!

Chapter 3 is up, in which Julius Caesar is a dick, and Monty Python references are made. This chapter came out longer than I planned, but I had tons of fun writing it.

Thank you always to the inspirational Birbs; @andordean and @merulanoir for beta, and providing guidance as I learn everything I can from them. <3
