Talking writing
Nov. 9th, 2024 10:26 pmI am finishing up the 80s monster hunter novel for na/o and then moving on to the something new. It's not going as fast as I would like but it's going. I'm up to one of the biggest battles (but I do dislike writing battles...I'm not much on reading them either). I was hoping to do a cozy fantasy/mystery but it just wasn't gelling. I had the three main characters in my head for months.
Yesterday one of them said 'we have the cinema in its infancy.' So...gaslight/mystery? Might look less Dungeons & Dragons and Legends and Lattes. Now I know who dies and why and I wasn't sure where the brothel fit in but they said 'we have pictures and these new moving picture thingies of the dead dude' (because naturally porn came soon after the invention of the film)
They finally told me their names (for now as I'm infamous for changing it)
Xarian - Half fox person, sort of bard magic ex-adventurer turned pub owner
Amata Venerini - human, magical (not sure what yet) Xarian's former partner, still BFF, turned detective (has a below knee amputation so I need to figure out healing magic limits in this world)
Elio - brothel boy with the blackmail photos
As if to make up for the disappointment over the art and the story, today I got a comment on my![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
wipbigbang telling me they found it and read it (what's up of it because I'm tried of big bangs = no reads because people get overwhelmed by length so I'm on an every other day posting schedule) in one go at at 2:30 AM they're on AO3 telling me not only how much they loved it but they also loved my original characters (Angel's nieces and nephews) It lifted my mood.
Last week I forgot to share my six word story and in fact I wrote two of them so here they are.
Title: The Shadows Breathe, the Shadows Purr
Summary: Angel has planned out his first time being with Husk and for once, things go exactly as he hopes.
