WIP ask game
Thank you to @sea-dwelling-wizard for the tag!
Tagging @jackdawandicarus and @lordcatwich (no pressure ofc!)
rules: answer as many (or as few) of the questions about your WIP as you can.
For this, I'll be using my Victorian dragon thing :)
1. What was the first part of your WIP that you created?
An initial version of the first chapter! It was initially going to be a really long poem (non-rhyming; I'm not that skilled). It focused on Heron (Hanne at the time) walking through sort-of-London (no, he does not wander through each chartered street where the chartered Thames does flow and mark in every face he meets marks of weakness marks of woe /ref) and entering a house. It was slightly more interesting than it sounds.
2. If your story was a TV show, what would the intro song be?
I'm honestly… not that sure. That's are a few songs that I link with it but that's spoilers so uh. Yeah.
3. Who are your favourite character(s) and why?
Amethyst because the only other characters are Leila, Heron and Thomas. I've not developed Leila much yet, I'm not allowed to say Heron because he used to be based on me, and Thomas is an absolute shithead. Also Amethyst is a complex character from the start. Thomas is literally just a capitalist and Heron's complexity comes from later events.
4. What other pieces of media could share a fan base with your WIP?
Well, in its current form it kind of comes from my Victorian lit obsession, and it's going to be epistolary so… Dracula. Though it has very little in common with Dracula other than being epistolary and Victorian.
Other than that, I think it has some similarities to the Cogheart books? It's been a while since I read them, though.
5. What has been your biggest struggle while writing your WIP?
Heron's fucking name. And just. Chapter one. I've started it four times by now and I've only just worked out it in a way that isn't absolutely fucking terrible.
6. Are there any animals in your story?
… they're all dragons. I guess that counts?
7. How do your characters get around?
In the usual way (they walk. Occasionally fly but walking takes less energy and is more what the city's built for anyway.)
8. What part of your WIP are you working on right now?
Chapter one. Still. I've not even written out a plan. Maybe I should do that at some point – that tends to help me get stuff done. And it'd let me work out how to pace stuff. Why have I not done that yet?
9. What aspects of your WIP do you think will draw people in?
Ummmm… Heron being useless for several months straight aroace. Nah idk really. Just the vibes. The misery. The hint of hope. The Orpheus and Eurydice metaphor that appears in the current version. The hopes that Heron will give in to his urges and just fucking BITE Thomas. Amethyst possibly being Zouelle A Face Like Glass coded. This makes no sense. I full-on just forgot Zouelle's last name oh well.
#character: heron#character: thomas#character: leila#character: amethyst#Most of this is incomprehensible#Just so everyone knows A Face Like Glass is a book by Frances Hardinge#Because her books and Victorian lit and Fallen London are all I ever talk about /hj

Went on a jog today and there was a very tame heron sitting on the railing in Camden Lock Market! It was so cool to be close to them but sadly that probably means they've been fed human food, which is not good for them :(

28th September 2023: Bushy Park
More photos from today in this set are of: 1. Grey Squirrel. 2. Water mint. 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8. Beautiful views of this picturesque park adorned by willow trees, I always enjoy the quite artistic surroundings here especially by the water and it was nice to see the sun bursting through at times. 4. A Small Heath I enjoyed seeing in the midst of Red Deer watching and walking around, doing this trip or one like it every year it's interesting you always get something unique to that particular year's trip and this was that moment this year I had seen them at Richmond Park briefly before I believe and it was a nice moment watching this pretty butterfly which I've had a good year for. 9. One of the stars of the trip always, a Ring-necked Parakeet ensconced in a chestnut tree. It was a delight to watch these streamlined emerald birds dashing through the sky with their eccentric calls and weaving through trees. These are birds we have locally now too so these royal park visits no longer bring them into our year but there's still such a special and atmospheric thing about being embraced by them when around London. They are charismatic to watch. 10. Another of the star birds of this place enjoyed again and a star this week for me, the exotic Egyptian Goose.
Alongside the numerous Red Deer and Fallow Deer seen well which my last post mentions, other highlights today were a fair few Jays seen well making it feel autumnal, Carrion Crow, a duo of Jackdaw and Feral Pigeon taking in an interest in our lunch and tea and muffin stops, Green Woodpecker, Grey Heron, Cormorant atop the Diana fountain, a nice few House Martins and possibly Swallow, a nice few Starlings not once we've seen here often before, Robin, Great Tits, elegant Mute Swan, great Moorhen and Coot views, Tufted Duck, Gadwall, Common Darter and Migrant Hawker dragonflies, wasp and hoverfly. Beautiful water lilies, hawksbeard, ragwort, creeping thistle, spurrey and hawthorn berries were other plant highlights. It was good to see Goldfinches and possible Hummingbird hawk-moth in the garden this morning.

On a typical rainy morning in London, Hyde Park, Grey herons and Ravens... Crows...? Those I can never differentiate...
Fact about Herons from Wild Life Trusts: “ Herons are often seen standing as still as a statue on their long thin legs in shallow waters of ponds and lakes patiently waiting for their next meal to swim by.”

Lavenderstar Lore Dump
Lavenderstar won by an overwhelming margin compared to Joy, so let's hear about Heron's mama!
If you have any questions about her please leave them in the replies and I'll be sure to answer them.
~~~
Lavenderstar (formerly Lavenderflood) was the leader of JuniperClan on the HMS Juniper. She was the former deputy under the prior leader, Wispstar.
110 moons when she passed (born ~1692), she’s had three litters in the past with Tommy, a shipyard cat who would occasionally join the HMS Juniper on short trips. All of her living kits have gone onto other ships or became shipyard cats.
She was noted for her great speaking and fighting skills, though she rarely needed to use the latter.
Lavenderstar was likely a Norwegian Forest Cat / Maine Coon mix. She was descended from hundreds of warrior ancestors as far back as cats traveled alongside Two Legs.
She was confident in the validity of her half-clan kits and did not hide them from JuniperClan, nor shame any other half-clan cats or kitty pets.
Family Status
Tommy: Alive in North London (Mate)
Litter 1
Shiningpelt: Alive in North London (Daughter)
Ambereyes: Deceased (Son)
Litter 2
Foggykit: Deceased (Son)
Frostypaw: Deceased (Daughter)
Stormspeckle: Alive in North London (Daughter)
Windseeker: Alive in Glasgow (Daughter)
Litter 3
Heronstar: Alive in South Carolina (Daughter)
