sunfright | saturday.

Finally managed to read my fic start to finish and in general, I'm very happy and satisfied with it. I need to do something about the final epilogue scene, because it doesn't work quite how I want it to and I can't really figure out why. It says all the things I want it to say, but might not show it enough. Something about it just seems... too muffled. Idk, it's the best way to describe it. Like it's saying what I want it to say, but it's spoken through a voice distorter. I'll give it some more thought once I've had my ballet rewatch with S. tomorrow.

Getting back to the basics of the canon might help.

Considering picking up Esil's story for NaNoWriMo, now that I'm mostly finished with the

smallfandombang project.

Not sure it'll be long enough to make the 50k mark, but that's okay, just having some time to sit down and work on it could be good. I have a lot of old notes for it in my notebook, so it's really just a matter of picking up the parts of it I'm still digging and expand from there.

After having watched Ahsoka, I'm kind of attracted to the idea of considering the Amazon Esil's "master" or mentor and thus, her training unfinished, so she has to flee the mess the Amazon left behind when she journeyed onward and find a way to use the things the other woman taught her to navigate a world that demands violence of her with an unwillingness to fight or kill. You know, the need to move on from war, without engaging in war, that struggle. Unlike Ahsoka, however, I really want her to manage to hold on to her pacifist beliefs - even when she meets the Amazon again who has picked up her sword and her bow once more after the events of her own story.

I think there's an interesting educational journey in there to be told. Similar to The Year of the Wolf but still ending in a very different realization and conclusion.

It might count as a fill for

ladiesbingo, if I can include enough of the Amazon and Esil together...

K. is home sick today. It's nothing too serious, a bit of a cough, but not her typical fever or anything. She's just kinda hanging out in her chair with her phone, relaxing as much as possible, so she can get ready and healthy enough for work next week. I'm trying to keep my distance as much as possible. Although it's a light affair, I don't want to catch anything before tomorrow and the beast of a week that is next week, omg. Therapy Tuesday, hair stylist Thursday and going to see my parents in their summer house, Friday through Saturday. The rest of the week will have to be spent vegetating at home, I'm telling you.

Last week of September. Time passes by so fast.
