#*it was about charlie in the chocolate factory

So, I am not in the TGS fandom anymore, but I am currently exanimating my Fake Kidnapping fic (A Moment of Glory, which can be found on tumblr and ao3) under a microscope as I am actually writing my first book at the moment and AMOG turned out to be an entire book. So, now, a little over 3 years since I wrote it, I have some stats for yall.

AMOG is 96,868 words long, which means that it is;

Twice, and almost thrice, as long as books like The Great Gatsby, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.

In the top 10 longest TGS fics (as of now on AO3)

A decent bit into the Novel category of book lengths. -

It is, with proper book formatting, around 202 pages long (times new roman 11p and 1.5 spacing).

The average chapter length is 6919 words (nice) and 14.5 pages.

As of now, at least 4300+ people have read AMOG on AO3 which is a little daunting. I don't think I have ever met that many people irl.

It is my most popular fic in turns of hits, comment threads, and subscriptions, with only Truths Be Told taking the #1 spot with kudos and bookmarks.

It is the 15th fic I ever published, which is at the moment 10 fics ago.

On tumblr, the entire series got 217 notes, and on AO3, it got 179 kudos.

I started writing it on July 4th 2021 and opted to write everything before I published anything. The first chapter was published July 15th (also 2021), so it took me about 11 days to write the entire thing.

I did also edit it a bit as I published. Old readers will know that it was once named something akin to "Shattered Mirrors and Bloodstained Feathers".

To this day I have absolutely no fucking idea what possessed me to write AMOG and all I have now is bragging rights.

the barbie movie was like Just Fine. i don’t think it had a cohesive message about society or womanhood or whatever, but there were some funny moments. but the worst part of the viewing experience by far was seeing the trailer for the timothee chalamet willy wonka movie against my will. he is NOT bringing wonka energy and having levitating chocolates in prequel undermines the experimental nature of fizzy lifting drink. unwatchable.

i think willy wonka and jay gatsby share so many similarities - elusive billionaires who seem almost inhuman especially with the constant mystery surrounding their characters.

for example the constant allusions to magic and intangibility when (our very unreliable narrator) nick percieves gatsby - we have only ever known of gatsby though nick. hes so surreal - a dream.

wonka very clearly not being of this world. extensive knowledge of vermicious knids? a spacecraft that is miles ahead of nasa? who is this guy really?

also their distinct personalities that make them so hard to cast. gatsby is desperately insecure. he constantly tries to ingratiate himself with those around him. mr "picking his words with care". leonardo dicaprio didnt work because his immediate stage presence undermined all of this.

wonka is so multifaceted and i dont think he has ever really been translated onto film 100% accurately before. forget the book description, try casting someone that can emulate his personality.

solution? animate both👍👍
