Scheherazade was always supposed to have 2 epilogues, one for Earth and one for Asgard. Did I intend to write them sometime in 2021? Yep! Did I then not even start to write them until late 2023? Of course!
But epilogue 1 is up, and epilogue 2 is mostly written, so better late than never!

I actually attempted to write Elriel fanfic. It connects to my Neris fanfic, but this is a standalone bonus chapter that you don’t need to read in order to understand the Neris fanfic, it’s just a fun extra meant to emphasize things already in the main text
does this remind you of anything

Be nice to yourself. It’s hard to be happy when someone is mean to you all the time.

Actually I don’t think you are actually fr an adult author if you can’t write something without a s*x scene in it
#<-trying to avoid our ancient enemy the evil bots#but literally. i will pick a book off the general fiction side and every time completely unnecessarily there will be such a scene where it#has no business being for the story#I’m about ready to fight over this#there’s been exactly one book out of the dozen or so I’ve done from that side that did not have it and it was Patron Saint of Second Chance#by Christine Simon#and I don’t think Road to Roswell my belovedest did either#but listen I think it’s a sign that something in society is fundamentally broken when I can pick too random books#and one is a cozy bookstore romance thing#and one is a weird travel fantasy that has nothing to do with romance#as a plot#and then both of them as soon as the girl comes across a guy and is like he’s likable#the next step is randomly try to sleep with him#evil evil evil evil#let’s not.#stop using sex scenes as shortcut for romance! it doesn’t work! you won’t have any!#this is wisdom and you should listen to it!!#I’m also gonna include the use of f-bombs in this post because if you can’t write a fantastical Victorian travel novel in fairy tale#style language without randomly using f bombs like do you even have a grasp of the language#those don’t belong in this story’s word set use your vocabulary!!#(there are times it makes sense in the story and the language catalog for the story and/or character for both of these but if you can’t do#story without them when they don’t belong that’s lazy I think#I’m throwing down the glove to adult authors I think they should try#this also goes for Jodi Picoult for whom the first thing did fall into the subject material but should not have been like the whole bull an#meat of that story at the expense of the actually interesting material#(couldn’t finish By Any Other Name between that the anachronistic feminism and the massive chip on her shoulder that seemed to be her subje#material

It’s been over a year since I’ve written a single word, original or otherwise, but I’m back, baby! With a new story in a new fandom, no less. I know Spinning Silver isn’t the most well-known book, but it really should be. If you’ve got Libby, it’s in the library system. If not, I believe this book is 100% worth buying.
And once you’re done reading it, you can read my fic and leave me a nice little comment, if you’re so inclined to do such a thing!
Here’s the FFN link, too.

what if i told you this is from a book by gaston leroux that is NOT phantom of the opera
#someone has a favorite trope i see!#if i have a nickel for every time leroux wrote about an ugly man in love with a beautiful girl named christine i would have two nickels#i was rifling thru project gutenberg uploads and found a bunch of gaston leroux writings so i started reading them and lo and behold#the man has an agenda#phantom of the opera#poto#erik#erik the phantom#christine daae#gaston leroux

Why do people always write fics about Christine and Erik marrying, yet never have him take her last name. LET HIM HAVE A NAME YOU COWARDS! LET CHRISTINE HAVE A FAMILY AGAIN!
#not even an erikstine shipper#cmon people#if you're going to do fluff actually let Christine be a character instead of having her be a comfort device with all her backstory erased#also Christine needs comforting#I'm talking therapy but a moonlit trauma dumping sesh is the best we've got in the victorian era#I need Erik to indulge in marital bliss LIKE HE GOD DAMN ASKED FOR#I want walks in the park#I want him delighting in the stupid things like coming home to someone#or forehead kisses#or cooking her breakfast#fuck#I'm going insane#don't make me write erikstine I hate them#I love them#I hate them a little less than I love them#but not by much#phantom of the opera#Gaston leroux
