March to Camelot: Wild

And not so shockingly, I write a lot of King Arthur. I pour my heart out into stuff y’all may never get the chance to read. I write late into the night. I come up with new families, new quests, new ways to play old stories.

Like The Lady of Shalott. Her name is Elaine. Elaine of Astolat. For me, after her stint in the tower, she decides she hates her name and hates her family for putting her in that tower, goes to the person who saved her, and asks to be adopted. She chooses her middle name. She becomes Gabrielle Du Lac, Galahad’s little sister and Lancelot’s squire and adopted child.

Or Palomedes, who in the legends spends his life chasing after Isolde. I decided, no, fuck you, if anyone deserves that level of devotion and love, it’s Tristan. Let’s put those two together, let them help each other.

I have a million little personal canons, often shared with @gwyndulac, both in my head for Arthurian things, and for my own personal stories. And I’m so glad I found a place that lets me share them.

Hello again, I’m back (more or less). Hectic month with much stuff happening, so I won’t say anything about my schedule for further chapters, but I’ll give it my best to answer questions with greater frequency than in October.
