THE GODDESSES DANCE

Sorry, I'm just over here, being insanely proud of myself. Yesterday, I wrote a ~2500 word fic and I'm definitely getting closer to a format and a flow that's more like it used to be, when I wrote fic all the time. It's funny how, even in my English writing that's nowhere as fluent as my Danish one, I have a very recognizable style and structure, a way of layering scenes and interweaving them that I have also done with the Danish short stories I have published.

Anyway, I thought this one came out really well, actually. It's a fic for

genprompt_bingo's newest round, for the prompt: unreliable narrator, something that's very new to me. I usually write very honest, open, straight-forward characters who say what they mean and don't hide things or lie. Rosalie Leblanc,

criticallyendagered, is different and I'm kinda liking it? With her, it's not what she says, but what she doesn't. That's the core of this fic.

It's a historical fic, because apparently that's my jam these days. The parts in the present tense take place during the World Exposition in Paris, 1900, but the rest happens in the years up to that. Like I said, Rosalie is a woman who lives and has lived many lives.

Also, generic warning for period-typical Orientalism, homophobia, cultural appropriation and more.

No, really, I'm just really happy and satisfied with this one.

I wanted to make a normal (longer) post today, but work wiped me out and I really don't have a lot of words in my head that I haven't already used on WRITING ANOTHER FIC OMG OMG!

My female Lucifer seems to be sticking and I've just written another fic starring her. Implied sexual content in this one, but mostly safe for work. Temptation-Damnation.

I'm writing myself closer to her voice which is nice. I really like her.

One prompt away from having a bingo line done! It's a wildcard and I'm ridiculously bad at choosing something for those, so if any of you have a prompt you could imagine me write about my female Lucifer for, I would be forever grateful.

Or, you know, if you just have something random like a picture or lyrics or something lying about and want to share? Much appreciated.

I FUCKING DID IT AGAIN

Another not-CMBYN related fic, though an original-ish one this time. Mythology-based. After rewatching Datenshi and getting back into my Lucifer (TV) cross-over PSL, I got a bit hooked on Judaic tradition and Christian mythology. I ended up researching the figure of Sariel and found him interesting, in relations to Lucifer, so I made a genderbent version of him and got writing.

And writing I did.

1000 words fic here, that's a lot by my standards, I generally work in drabbles and flash fiction. But I just found the concept of a Queen of Hell very interesting, surprise, and ran with it, so although Sari is subject to Lucifer, being both younger and more recently fallen, they pretty much share the throne in an effort to give the other a chance to live freely on Earth. I don't often work with sibling dynamics in my writing, perhaps because I don't have any myself, but their relationship really intrigues me. There's anger and hurt and a whole lot of love, too, overbearance, accept. So much history, of course, because it isn't just their own personal histories, but all of human history and the history of Creation, too. Very fascinating. And a bit daunting to work within such a scope while writing. I'll hopefully grow into it.

And hopefully there'll be more.

I FUCKING DID IT

I wrote a non-CMBYN related fanfic. I did the first prompt on my

genprompt_bingo table. This is a huge win. I'm so proud of myself.

I haven't truly written fanfic for, like, a decade. Not fanfic that isn't somehow tied up on my roleplaying. This is the first real-real fanfiction I've written since I stopped writing for Silver Wolf and other Takarazuka-related fandoms. Never really got into writing fanfic for ballets that I actually published anywhere where people would read them. This is the first.

And I think it's pretty good. It captures Murakami's style okay, I think, personally. It explores some ideas that intrigued me during my reread, images, symbolism, all the shit I love when writing.

Oh, and food. Writing characters drinking or eating is my forever Writer's Kink. Don't judge.

Just needed to make this shout-out to myself, because I think I've gotten started on something really good. At least I hope so, I hope there's more where this came from. /prays

Middle of the night. I don't know what woke me up tonight, usually it's dreams or K. (who will jostle me because my snoring is keeping her awake), but tonight I just woke up very abruptly with a lot of restless anxiety in my system. I don't know what I'm nervous about, work maybe, except I wasn't nervous about work at all when I went to bed. My parents' visit, could be, but I'm not having any panicky thoughts about it. I'm not having any panicky thoughts at all, actually, my mind is completely blank, but my body is definitely anxious. Nervous energy beneath my skin. Jittery, muscle cramps, quickened breathing. The usual. Just no mental activity in the wake of it. It's just me and my body, it's a strange feeling. Usually I'm pretty shut out from it. This is - straight in the middle of the storm. And it's uncomfortable, sure, but without the anxiety in my head, it's just that. A body doing its thing. Like breathing. Automatic.

I've tried focusing the energy somewhere, so I've been scribbling down ideas I want to write for my

genprompt_bingo table. I've finally decided to write for Sputnik Sweetheart as my fandom and once I made that decision, both picking a line and finding ideas for each prompt was pretty easy. This book inspires me so much! So far I've written down scenarios for five prompts and can't wait to get started tomorrow. I'll be writing for identity crisis, careless talk costs lives, wildcard (Lesbos), loss of faith and hindsight is a wonderful thing. I think it might even work better that I only have the Danish translation to work from. There's something about the process of doing Danish to English translations in my head that helps my creativity along.

Also, I get to look a lot at the Danish cover which is pretty much my favourite book cover of all time!

Yesterday I formatted the third chapter of the Lucifer/Elio fanfic we're working on and I think the suggestions we got from a reader might actually help accessibility a bit. With some luck, both chapter 2 + 3 will be up over the weekend. I've also done the initial (planning) stage of chapter four, dividing it into scenes with a start and a finish. So I feel we're making good progress here - combined with having started the other PSL, I feel very full of the Lucifer and Elio love.

The escapisms I crave to not completely crumble under the weight of life.
