Once There Were Stars

A place for all my ramblings, mood boards, character development, and any other thing that floats my proverbial boat when it comes to this original work

What is all this?

Basically what it says on the tin. I had an idea for an original fic in 2021 that I was progressing on until my mental health took a turn. It’s a year later and I’m brushing off the dust, refreshing some ideas and characters, and am in need of place to put everything where I can find it. If you’ve seen, read, or given me feedback on anything I’d posted previously for Once There Were Stars -- thank you, and I love you!! Some stuff will definitely be familiar <3
