Hey Quentin! How have you been?
I was just reading the posts about my brother's pocketwatch again and I miss James so if you feel like it....some new facts or a little rambling please?
(it's @zoya-writes btw from my main)
Hi Zoya! I'm doing well! And I am so ridiculously sorry I took like a month to get back to you on this ask fsdhkjfdsjhkfd. I haven't gotten much writing done lately, just because of school, but I've been getting back into it more! How are you?
It shocks me every time whenever I realize that other people think about my characters at all, but it's always a pleasant surprise. I haven't been writing much of MBP so I miss James too ToT
Anyways, here's some (read: a lot of) rambling for you!
MBP has kinda been rattling around in my brain for a while, really just with the idea of a boarding school stuck in a time loop
I’ve been considering going into a more horror-esque direction with it. Just like the inherent horror of being stuck in a loop for an eternity. The horror of not knowing who you really are or where you come from or what's going to happen to you. But also more creepy stuff going on in the academy >:)
(I didn’t plan too much bc of my impulsive decision to start it for nano if you can tell, but I’ve been mulling the idea over for a while)
Idk if I've mentioned it but James and Elliot are roommates (*gasp* and they were roommates!). They would both be terrible roommates to anyone else but happen to be a perfect match for each other
I'm still trying to figure out what the source of the loop is. I don't think I'll actually reveal it in the book, but I want to know just to know what kind of theme. My first thought was the fae living in the forests around the academy, then possibly an old god (for some fun lil' eldritch horror possibilities), OR some sort of sci-fi loop, with covert experiments and shady government scientists. I should actually probably figure it out bc I need to know so I can eventually break the loop
Anyways, it's all under the headmaster's control, regardless of whether it's an old faerie god or some mad scientist, so the time loop's source doesn't matter that much.
And I think that this is getting a little long and VERY rambly. I hope it's the kind of rambling you were hoping for! And thank you so much for the ask <3
