#blue canon

At one time, Blue Canon was a crew change point on SP's Donner Pass line. The original compound Mallet's could take as long as 12 hours to reach here from Roseville. Today, other than the large horse shoe curve, not much remains except a few homes as Amtrak's San Francisco Zephyr passes thru in March of 1975.

Answering a fanfic ask

I messed up and accidentally answered the question privately so here is is redone (with a link) for the questions @zozo3193 asked me. I’m going to try to redo them as best as I can!

I’m pretty sure these asks were mostly just for fanfic but I’m also going to add stuff in for my original work as well.

1. If you’re an author, how many WIPs do you currently have? (Be honest!)

Fanfic wise I’d probably say 4ish? 

One is for the hobbit and is what I am currently working on. It is characters watch the movie type of fic and I love writing it and all of my readers. The link can be found here!

The other three are for Descendants though I am not actively working on them. I’ve lost my spark right now and I wouldn’t be able to write the characters correctly but I hope to one day get back into the swing of it.

As for original writing, the number is a bit higher. I, of course, have Blue and that storyline I am more or less actively working on, along with two other sorta series within the same universe that get worked on via lore and world building. Then I have 7 more ideas I’ve actually written down.

19. What’s your favorite character headcanon?

For the fandom side of this, I’m going to use the hobbit. I love playing with Shire politics and breaking them down so when the dwarves learn about it they fall under the impression that Bilbo is a prince or royalty at the very least. Those always make me laugh and they hold a special place in my heart. Cultural misunderstandings between hobbits and dwarves are usually fun in general, but that takes the cake.

As for original story stuff, I’m going to tell you a little bit about a character you haven’t met yet but is near and dear to my heart. His name is Faolin. Now Faolin is an Androka (basically a werewolf, similar to Cato) and not just any Androka but the Padami (similar to a prince) of the most important wolf pack in all of Thrae. He’s a bit of a big deal. He is also a very large, very intimidating person, usually taller than most people and bear. In fact, a lot of people think he has bear blood somewhere in his family tree cause his wolf form is equally as large and intimidating. However, he loves very little more than baking, particularly cookies. This boy would spend his days just making food and treats for people if you could and nothing bonds people more then a good meal in his eyes. He is more or less the group’s appointed cook. During the story, he does do and say some awful things but in the end, he makes up for it and he definitely makes Cato a batch of his best cookies to really seal the apology.

I know this is probably more than the questions really warranted but I just love talking about my characters so much. I know I haven’t really introduced many but if anyone ever wants to ask about anyone (or you can just ask for a random person I have a bucket load and then some of ocs for Blue and the series as a whole) I would love you for forever and a half!
