please write that labyrinth queliot fic
I grew up with Labyrinth, right? I barely have memories of my life before Labyrinth and I can’t exactly remember when it must have been my first time seeing it. But the real Formative Obsession didn’t hit until my teen years. The first fic I ever wrote was a hideously awful Labyrinth sequel for Jareth/Sarah. It was the second fandom I made fanvids for. It was the first thing I ever wrote a full meta analysis for. I’m that chick that scoured Jennifer Connelly movies from the late eighties to get an idea of what an older Sarah would look like. I am That Labyrinth Fan.
Meanwhile, Queliot hit me so hard that I came out of a several years long editing hiatus to make vids and gifsets for them. It’s been over a year since the show betrayed me and I’m still running this blog. I got so angry over the betrayal at the time that I spent a literal month outlining, scene by scene, a total season four overhaul (and that outline is complete).
But at the same time, I’ve been developing an original fantasy novel with a mlm love story at its core since April/May, this month is when I finalize the outline, and next month is when I start drafting. It’ll be my third book, and the first one meant to go for traditional publishing. It’s taken me a decade to reach this point while sloughing through ADD and mental illness and the terror of Finishing Things. If I got distracted now I wouldn’t forgive myself for years.
I can’t even try to make it an on-the-side thing because I already have a Youtube channel on the side, and if I even begin to overload myself with projects it all comes tumbling down.
So I’m like...............sitting here.................breathing deeply.............absolutely Knowing I definitely, definitely cannot write the Queliot Labyrinth AU this year..........while trying desperately not to open an innocent little new document in my word processor............
