WIP INTRO | MAYBE TOMORROW I'LL KNOW

genre | lgbTq+ contemporary YA romance

pov | first person present tense, single

status | drafting

summary |

When Laurie wakes up in the driver’s seat on a highway with no memories in a girl’s body, a car crash is small potatoes. Having to rely on a handsome stranger’s kindness while pretending he actually is this 17 year old girl named Valerie is a comparative nightmare. But waking up on that same highway over and over again and watching the days tick down from one hundred? Re-meeting Gideon—that handsome stranger—every day, while navigating his new life in a body he can’t stand, with no idea where his real one is? Nightmare doesn’t cut it. If that’s not enough, learning about the girl this body belongs to raises way more questions than it answers, and when Gideon is drawn into the time loop, the story Laurie’s been telling starts to crumble. All he has to do is find the person he swapped with, figure out how to get back in the right body, break a time loop before the clock hits zero, and not fall in love with Gideon while he does it. Easy. Right?

first line |

When the nightmare ends and I open my eyes, I know three things only: first, the backs of my hands on the steering wheel are covered in freckles; second, the radio is blowing static; and third, I’m going a hundred and twenty clicks on a highway I’ve never seen before in my life.

tropes/themes/i'm luring you in and nothing bad will happen to you psychologically i promise |

time loop AND body-swap alex doesn't that seem a little self indulgent AND WHAT ABOUT IT

transgenderisms

second-and-third-and-fourth chance slow burn romance

cannot emphasize enough the transgenderisms

self-discovery

narrator is autistic and everyone else knows but them

THIS IS A TRANSGENDER LOVE STORY

what if you had to fall in love with someone who always FORGOT you (until they didn't)

narrator is a stone cold bitch

in case you missed it somehow this is the trans agenda actually

narrator is vaguely genre aware

alpaca.... i am so honoured

look at these absolute lads! they literally look like stuffed animals

[goose-books]

“codependant wlw except make them really really fucked up and evil” give us the details 🤲

I WANT TO GIVE YOU THE DETAILS BUT I DON’T HAVE ANY AHSDKFHSDKFBDSFDS... like literally this is the VAGUEST fucking concept on that list i’m just obsessed with 1) villains 2) villains whose weaknesses are other people and 3) wlw and recent conversations with @athenapollo have me in my head thinking about people who would burn the world down for each other but are also really really bad for each other and everyone around them so. someday. on god. that

(ask me about one of my weird back-burner potential projects that i may or may not ever write)

thoughts on limericks

also thoughts on jellyfish !

i had to google. what that meant and it said it followed an “AABBA” rhyme scheme and that sounds like ABBA so i like them apparently! and jellyfish are amazing i miss the aquarium and just. starting at those brainless guys.

send me “thoughts on ___”

[fluoresensitivearchived]

ooh out of all the settings you’ve written in so far which one is your favourite + why?

Ah, I love the woods and house(s) from On Sundays, because they’re just so familiar to me! They have very good, spooky vibes and I love that I’ve been in houses like Jude’s mothers, so much so that it’s literally like painting a scene from memory wrow!

[raevenlywrites]

🌠!!

jacob collier’s djesse vol. 3, kicking the blanket around when it’s too hot and the feeling when you finally find that one cool pocket of air, & owning way too much stationary

send me a 🌠 & i’ll tell you three things i associate with you!

[goose-books]

PLEASE tell us more about “everyday is leg day” and “girl don’t do it it’s not worth it”

the way that BOTH of these are about the amt sequel i refuse to write. the title of the second one isn’t even relevant to the document it;s just me talking to myself this is so embarrassing god bless. um. uh. what do i even say about it. the amt sequel that won’t ever exist because oh my god making a podcast happen is so fucking hard that i haven’t made ORIGINAL amt happen in like three years.... hypothetically would be based off of twelfth night and as you like it! with some midsummer vibes thrown in. like so:

OSCAR (with oomph): I just don’t understand women. [VIOLET SNORTS.] Well, I don’t! They’re confusing!

VIOLET (muttered): We’re really not.

OSCAR: Hmm?

VIOLET (louder): I said they’re really not.

(ask me about my stupid, stupid document titles)
