This is basically the plot of DMF 🙏

You and me both 🫠🫠💗💗

I can't remember exactly how that title came about, actually... I have this list of ideas in my notes app but don't keep track of where I get them 🥲 That being said lot of them do come from skimming the shelves at bookstores and mashing up the titles I think are cool, so there's a very high probability that you're right 🙏💗 As for the stories/movies/songs that inspired it: so, so, so many lmao. I feel like music is a powerful inspiration for a lot of writers and I am no exception -- the song that kicked off the entire story was Fast Car by Tracy Chapman ("your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder / and I had a feeling that I belonged / I had a feeling I could be someone,") and just imagining Will and Monty on horseback riding across the prairies made me feel so warm and fuzzy inside egfaiegfoiguef 💗💗💗 The rest of the story kind of fell into place around that in a way that I hadn't experienced in a WHILE, so a lot of the writing process was just chasing that creative high if I'm being honest lmao As for other media! I tried to stay as true as possible to their short stories (William Wilson/Cask of Amontillado + a little bit of Masque of the Red Death) and include those character's -isms in there, too. It was really funny to me that Will was actually the one who tried to swindle people in his short story, so I kind of gave that scene back to him in chapter 5 of part one (Love Game, I think?) And then with the historical accuracy...I'm sure it's like, super off 🫠 I went into it thinking it was just gonna be a fun little short story and then it kind of got away from me, so I never actually sat down to do the hard research about the time. Plus in the comic I think it's implied that Will and Monty are from different decades so that was a whole other dimension of historical-ness that I just kind of glossed over in pursuit of Gay Smooching...which I have zero regrets over lmao. Luckily I think the fact that the story is more focussed on interpersonal relationships kind of distracts from that (hopefully), but needless to say when I go back and edit I'll be tightening up a LOT of stuff But! One of the best research tips I've ever gotten is to look up "What movies/books get wrong about ___" to find a bunch of actual experts explaining stuff in detail. I also love reading books with similar settings that are praised for accuracy (Andy Weir books are like, the holy grail of sci-fi from what I've gathered) which I think is more fun than reading the academic papers by a MILE lmao. Anyways! I fear I rambled a little at the end, but hope this helps regardless haha. Thank you so much for reading DMF, and I hope you get plenty of time to relax and enjoy the fandom over your break!! Sending love 💗💗💗

Thank youuu lmao 💗💗💗💗 ❤️‍🔥 Dead Man's Fiction is my baby, favorite thing I've written in a while! It's a pre-canon Nevermore AU about what it might have been like if Will and Monty met in Kansas before they died. Gratuitous cowboy dialogue, dust bowl vibes, cardplaying, and even a Prospero cameo :) And it has a second part now, too! 💌 Yours Regardless is the aforementioned part two :) Working off of the "missing scene" model, it follows the boys through their days at the Academy. While pieces of their life together return to them in memory, they also have to deal with the demons (metaphorical and literal) that have followed them beyond the grave. This one is still ongoing, but updates regularly! I try to respond to as many comments as possible, so feel free to join the fun <3 🌹 Red as the Rose is my first fanfic, which I wrote for the Good Omens fandom! Also a missing scene plot, based on the flashback from 537 AD when they're knights. In this one, Crowley is on an assignment to kill King Arthur of Camelot. Has all the goods: drunken scheming scene, ballroom scene, etc, etc.

I fear that got a little rambly near the end, but I hope this helped! Happy writing!! 💗💗💐💐

Short answer is the horse ride scene from chapter 4! Slightly longer answer is anything involving the train :) If you decide to do the animatic, have so much fun!!!! Anything you make is gonna be absolutely fantastic 💗💗

Tallulah and the boys 💐 Next chapter of DMF will be posted soon!! Thank you so much for bearing with me through the hectic update schedule, life has gotten busy FAST 💀💗🙏

Also— roger dodger, I’ve just taken a nap and refilled my water bottle as per your request 🫡 Now your turn haha 💗
