Okay the new SummerWeen idea is coming along, and I’ve just written one of the funniest throwaway lines ever, and I’m so hopeful that she won’t get cut in the final draft. But if she does then it’s goons get recycled in a Lestappen fic. Actually regardless I’m getting this int a Lestappen fic, because my SummerWeen fic is not Lestappen or Landoscar which means that nobody is going to see it, and this joke deserves to be seen. I don’t even care if it’s bad, I love it. Which is great news because yesterday I had no idea what I was going to be doing with this fic. Woo!

Okay gang, I’m doing the F1 SummerWeen fic fest, right?

And I’ve been giving a direction but no specifics, and so I went in a direction, yes? Okay, so I’ve realised that that direction didn’t work for “the fic must be related to Halloween” because I ended up in sailor’s horror. Thus I shall now talk about it.

Tell me why my plan for this fic’s format is “research paper.” So, like, I got here because I couldn’t figure out how to short story what I wanted, so I figured I could present it like this is a real thing that a real people did research on. And then the horror comes from the sailor’s tale that’s passed down yada yada but also from the “and here’s the real story of what that’s actually about and yeah it’s bad there’s a reason we tell this story.”

And like, last time I wrote a gift for someone I played with formatting to get me a script. A research paper??? Why am I like this???????

Anyways I did like the idea so I’m going to keep it for future. But yeesh. Like, I’m all for experimentation and that’s the point of writing, but I’ve literally done everything I could to get out of writing a research paper ever, and in order to get from Outline to Draft 1 I am going to have to look int the structure of research papers.

Also the plan was vore. So it’s gonna take me a hot second to wrap my head around how I’m going to make that properly work.

Anyways. Just felt like sharing. Now time to come up with a different idea.

Me when the second draft of Well Bitten; Well Loved has been written, but in editing I have realised that I should have probably definitely actually written it from Charles’ POV instead of Max’s so now I have to at least try that before I just post it.

Usually when I finish a piece and I think it’s bad, that’s just cause I’m a writer, but right now there’s actually something wrong with it.

Sigh. Back to the doc I guess.

Hmm. I was just scrolling the doc to see if there are any useable snippets to just let y’all see what’s happening it in, cause like it’s not bad bad. And honestly it’s pretty okay. Maybe I can alternate POVs?

At the very least this exercise has made me realise that the fic is about thematically as opposed to just plot wise.

But alas no snippets; this is in desperate need of a rewrite.
