Musical notes about FiT

Awrgh. Headphone jack on my laptop is not being picked up at all by my computer, sooo annoying when I want to work in the library. :c 

On a happier note, I rediscovered the playlist I’d created for “Frozen in Time”. Some of the vids have been taken down, but it’s still so nostalgic for me. My writer’s brain is stewing. ^^ http://tinyurl.com/zrb5jqd

”Pompeii” was the song playing on the radio all the time on my commute to/from work. It was what made me want to write a Hansanna fic with time travel to more or less...fix canon. XD It took quite a bit of commute-brainstorming and Hansanna fanfic reading for me to finally get off my butt and write the story though. “Winter Bird” helped me think up the Ice Maiden’s character, but also reminded me of Elsa to an extent. It got me thinking about the character she could have become had it not been for Anna. I probably listened to the Sámi folk songs the most while writing the story. Máddji’s music is so haunting and beautiful. “Up&Up” just...really struck me as a Kristelsa, or at least an Elsa song. Struggling to keep things together as Queen while her castle’s attacked aaaand her sister and Hans are missing. Kristoff on his own mission to find Anna. 

“The Wolf” and “Demons” were Hans/Hansanna songs to me over the course of their adventure, for sure. “I Went Too Far” and “Warrior” felt like Anna songs to me, both her codependency and purity/strength of heart. :)  I just love Aurora btw. <3 Good stuff, and it’s nice to re-visit things that remind me how much heart and effort I put into one story. I needed to remember I can do that again. I haven’t been devoting enough time to writing and lately it’s just been eating at me.

But for now, back to work. And if I can figure out why I suddenly smell chicken ramen in a library, my curiosity will be sated for the day. 😆
