Fic writer asks 4, 8, and 12, if you please!
4. a story idea you haven't written yet
An original fiction horror short story about a man who is plagued by nightmares, and one day ends up stuck in one forever.
8. if you had to write a sequel to a fic, you'd write one for...
The Brightest Flame. It would be fun to take Olórin and Mairon into new situations. Meeting Celebrimbor and Narvi, for example (this Mairon is honestly trying to get better).
Also, I would very much enjoy a scene where Olórin makes Mairon to dance when visiting the Harfoots. It's just the thing he would do!
12. a trope you're really into right now
If redemption arcs count as a trope, that's the my signature "genre".
