Synopsis: reader is forced into treatment by Hannibal Lecter with the reluctant assistance of Will Graham; in time it descends into something more...
Starting to upload on ao3: MANNA
NOTE: I'll be incorporating the drabbles into the main fic soon (they are not all chronological atm, more like snapshots of a timeline. In a few weeks I'll be continuing from what comes after the escape incident).

Hi there!! I read your Alice in Evil series and it inspired and fascinated me to where I feel gratitude and relief I came across your work. I mean, you took AliceiW and Village and created your very own compelling world and dynamic with the two. So thanks π«Ά I'm starting Hannibal now so I can read more of your fanfictions. Well, I just saw your post about Manna being your favorite work currently for being so detailed in the plot. Which leads to my question- as somebody who has been dancing around their own Heisenberg story, what is your process in creating plot and chapters? How do you connect the ideas for your story into a fleshed-out storyline? Do you struggle with keeping track of all the details?
Firstly, thank you for reading and I'm so touched by your comments!
As for the planning question: Wonderland started as a oneshot, so while I did have interest in making it a longfic and planted some ideas, I had no plot written out or the kinds of details I keep notes of now when I write. Chapter by chapter I built that story as ideas came to me, immediately feeling like 'canon' to the story, and to which I referred to later when I needed to keep track of complex details.
When I began in earnest the story seemed so clear to me. My mind is kind of like that: once I've determined ideas the whole plot except minor details just appears in my head, and chapter by chapter stuff depends on where my characters take me along the way
Bandersnatch took a hell of a lot more planning due to the complexity of the game and the literary references I wanted to make. I've read all the books I mentioned, but mainly when I was a teenager, so that involved bringing them all up to refer to appropriate passages.
The idea of Heisenberg as a gamesmaster I developed due to his in-game theatrical nature and the torture machines. It gave me a lot of freedom to take a character with only a handful of scenes and give him so much more to do.
As for keeping track of all the details, I re-read my own works back as I'm writing to make sure I'm keeping a consistent voice throughout, and to refresh my mind on names, events, and pesky typos that have escaped my edits. I have started keeping notes for Manna and Odile, Odette because there's so much lore I need to keep track of in these crucial chapters, but before that I never did.
Iβm very early into Manna but have questions. Is Hannibal shaving her bush (if she happens to have one) or just her groin. Also is he secretly feeding her human meat?
Chap 10 so far. Very good writing 10/10.
Thanks.
YES to the bush, it was just a poetic way of wording it π€£ not that I think Hannibal would care if she had body hair, and he probably lets up on that eventually. It's simply an element of control over her autonomy
And I can't answer the second question π€«
Thank you!!! Manna is pretty polarising as not everybody has the patience for that type of prose, so I'm happy to have found my people

Note drafts for the extra chapters I'm working on are going steady! Gonna keep at it tonight when I finish work. Don't know why I stopped doing it this way as it's such a handy framework and I can jot down all the juicy scenes/dialogue

When I write that first Will/Hannibal sex scene you're gonna have to imagine the prep somehow happened π€£ as someone who has done a lot of anal play (with me and my strap, as I'm not otherwise interested lol) it's not a very spontaneous activity. And it's not as if bodily functions don't exist in Manna as I've referred to all of them in a very genteel fashion lmao. Like Hannibal seemingly being able to teleport on the show, everyone is magically clean and ready to goπΆββοΈ

we have to bring back the erotic thriller. in the 1970s a beautiful man could go to a beautiful italian villa and fuck every member of the family living there and then leave and that was the entire movie. and you could smoke indoors
The air was charged by the distant call of a nightbird. His face was obscured, but I knew he was looking at my chest, each side stretching, recently matured to different sizes. βHansel, come lay with me like the old woman taught us when we were children,β I said.
He closed the door and leaned against it. βYou're not my wife, Gretel,β he said.
βI am more than your wife. I'm your sister!β
Hansel flinched and reached for the door handle. Β I knew he would not leave this place. He would relent and choose to be inside me, like he had many nights before. If not, I would flay his meaty forearm, roll it like a stick of licorice, and insert the flesh between my legs. Hansel is my soul. A love only the branch of a willow tree could conjure.

I'll be starting notes on O.O soon too! One of my favourite fics I'm working on. The VG community has died down but I'm used to writing for smaller fandoms, so it doesn't dissuade me in the slightest!
