I'm so hyped to hear that you're writing a book! I've been trying to get the molasses out my ass to do the same, but I'm so easily spooked and fanfiction always seems safer.
If you don't mind me asking, what made you realize that you were ready to pour into your own work?
Thank you for all that you do!
Thank you 🥹 you absolute sweet anon!
Fanfiction does seem safer, doesn't it? I think there's a lot less pressure when it's fanfic, because you're supplying one half of the pair. Fans already know the character, the backstory, the motivations, so that takes some of the pressure off. If new fans don't know, there's enough information in the fic to get the gist, you know?
However, writing a book was always the plan for me. I started writing fanfic to gain my own confidence in my writing. And everybody on here has helped me tremendously 👏🏽 I simply wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the amazing people I've met on here, who've read my stories, and offered feedback!
Writing a book is still daunting. But I have enough confidence in myself to at least try. To let myself make mistakes. To see the story unfold. Because while fanfic is *amazing*, isn't it a little better to create from scratch? To not have to worry about "is this canon, is it not canon, is it out of character" etc?
The canon comes from you and you can do whatever you want! Literally, whatever you want. There's no rules. Except grammar.
I hope you do get to that book that's sitting in your head. I hope you share it so I can read it!

As much as I would enjoy a kiss at their reunion, I do think the dragon prince crew would do something softer when (not if <-clown emoji) Sorvus is made canon. I'm picturing Corvus and Ezran and Callum arriving at the castle like in the promo image, them checking up with Opeli and she reveals everything is fine.
But Corvus asks about Soren. "Where is he?" he asks, his mind already wandering to the possibility that Soren...hadn't made it out. He will himself to remain strong for his king, but his body fills with dread. Thankfully, Opeli points him to the river.
There, Soren sits on the banks. Corvus sits beside him, noticing the same pained look in his eyes that he had seen on the ramparts the day Soren asked him to become a crownguard. Now, that same pain encompassed how he sat, how he stared mournfully into the waters.
Corvus asks is he is alright, and Soren can't even answer, holding back what emotion he can to maintain his cheerful attitude. He is failing miserably. Something more terrible than the Storm Spire must have happened. Something worse than Katolis burning down.
Corvus lays his hand over Soren's on the rock. Soren looks from it to Corvus, then shifts so that he can hold Corvus's hand back.
Like Janai and Amaya, its a confirmation.
and, of course, at the end of arc 2 or start of arc 3 (affirm affrim, manifest manifest, like to charge reblog to cast) then we get a kiss, teehee

Ugh.
Sometimes I remember that Bad Batch gave us this badass Black woman who was a liberator of ancient wonders and was like Indiana Jones but fucking cooler and witty, charming, and FUN and so so so nice and caring and understanding and she befriended the Bad Batch and gave them a safe place in the galaxy to call home and then made her the love interest of the heavily autistic coded white-washed Maori man and thus made them an interracial couple
AND THEN-
they killed off Tech and then used Phee as an uber driver for s3 and didn't give her any closure or anything for his death.
