I think my goal for 2026 should be to finally post this Narumitsu Titanic!AU I've been working on for several years now. It's obviously quite separated from canon so I'd like input about whether the characters are too OOC and any other improvements I should make.
18+ only!
If you like:
Long (!) multi-chapter fics
Third person, past tense narration
Historic/period settings
Snarky character POV
Forbidden love
Shipping on a ship
Research notes
Author's barely disguised obsession
And aren't averse to:
MvK-typical abuse (physical, verbal)
Religious guilt, especially re: sexuality
Description of food
Depictions of smoking, alcohol
Depictions of anxiety
Reading an AU of a historical event where lots of real people died (though I will be including notes when I post with links to info from reputable sources, including about specific passengers/crew)
Not knowing how it ends until the final chapter is posted, which might be a looooong time
You may enjoy this!
NOTE: There may be other content warnings I've missed in this ad! I think these are the main ones though.
I'm specifically after feedback on:
If characters are in-character, and how to improve things if not
Pacing - Too much exposition? Too little?
Prose - Purple? Beige? Which bits are which so I can revise them
Plot holes or confusing areas
Any content warnings I might have missed
Rating - right now I wouldn't call it explicit but I'm undecided whether to step over that line, considering the sensitive setting
Suggestions of other events in the course of the story, other character cameos, etc
For now I'm looking to get feedback on the first two chapters since they're the most complete.
I really want to finally share this work, its been a passion project for so long but I'm terrified that it's way too niche 😅 Plus I haven't actually posted a fic in a decade, and it was for a different fandom.
If you're interested shoot me a DM and I'll figure out how to share it with you! Thanks xxx
lowkey if I was ema skye and klavier gavin was my boss (he's wildly successful in two careers and I can't even nab the ONE I've been waiting for) (i came back to america for phoenix wright's sake and I blame this guy for ruining him) (also his general everything) I would probably kill him. so I give her props.
- when you’re jay walking, cars will actively accelerate bc the drivers want to kill you for breaking the rules
- servers in restaurants act very scared and apologetic, so maybe people aren’t nice to them here??? or I could be terrifying
- it’s really cute when little kids have British accents, but I’m unmoved by adults with accents
- extremely good gluten free options. this country is like 20 years ahead of Canada in that regard
- people will give random insignificant buildings names with little plaques. and then that’s the name that shows up on the map. like even a smaller than average family home, you can name it like it’s a dog
- lots of brick and stone buildings. looks cute and charming until you enter one and there’s no air conditioning
- people are still wearing jaguar print. I like this. don’t let it die
