How's TVD2 and the fake married fic coming along? Also, do you have a certain actor or person in your head when you write moran?
i am HORRIBLY BEHIND on all the writing I want to do. I think this message came just when I was getting better a little? And was promptly hit in the face with various job interviews and observations and exercises and Friend Time, which has seriously messed with my internal schedule. My inner writing is rearing at the bit rn.
So right now... The fake married fic is steadily chugging along. TVD2 has had a bit of a break, which is probably a good thing because now I can attack it again with full vigour (I already have had several new ideas to try and ease in). What I’ve been working on most these last week or two is the HP fic (which has reached a wopping 20.000 words but is nearing its finishing line), a genderqueer!Jim fic which I’ve been writing on-and-off for three years or something, and a Richard Brook fic. Plan is to do another whole-day-of-writing on TVD 2, and finish the married fic somewhere inbetween, providing all goes well.
As for the actor/person... I have a vague image of Moran in my head when I write, but it doesn’t really match any actor I know. There are a fair few people that come close or have certain characteristics (i.e. physicality: Tom Hardy, Daniel Craig; voice/way of speaking: Craig Parkinson, Dominic West... that match my headcanon-Moran, but it’s never 100%. You can find more about that in my fancasting tag, if you feel like browsing a bit.
But as I’ve said before, you’re very much encouraged to imagine your own version. The only things I’ve “confirmed” are that he’s athletic, scarred, sandy-haired, tallish, and has grey eyes, which gives you a lot of wriggle room. Because the thing about Moran... One of the most defining things about his appearance the way I write him, is that he’s immensely attractive, and since attractiveness differs from person to person, it feels right to leave the details up to the reader. Want to know how I want you to imagine Moran? Just picture someone really really hot.
