#if I've missed tags by anyone it's probably because I drafted it earlier and haven't gotten to it yet

WIP Questionnaire (2.0)

I was tagged a second time by @finchwrites, so I'll do this for my second WIP too.

Project.Ink

1. What was the first part of your wip that you created?

As I mentioned in this post, as someone from an Irish family, I wanted to write a novel that paid homage to our folklore, so I decided to mess with the general concept of a 'changeling'. Rowan came to be when I tried to think up a character that was a faerie who, for some reason, believed they were a human - and the rest followed.

2. If your story was a TV show, what would the theme song/intro be?

Not so much a theme song, but Rowan and Killeen's song is definitely Dying Star by Ashnikko and Ethel Cain. I'd probably have it playing in the background when Killeen realises who Rowan actually is to her.

3. Who are your favourite characters you've made? Why?

Rowan was the first character I created for this story so I do have a soft spot for her in my heart, but because I knew I wanted this to be a queer story, when I created Killeen I basically just turned my ideal woman into a lesbian fae warrior so??? of course I would die for her?? Plus being The Inquisitor for The Sidhe Court is kind of a slay, no?

4. What other pieces of media do you think would share a fan base for your story?

Never read it, but from what I've heard I can only assume ACOTAR peeps would be into it. If anyone has ever watched Zone Blanche/The Black Spot (spooky french supernatural murder drama), that is EXACTLY the vibe I'm going for - just Irish (and if you haven't watched it you should).

5. What has been your biggest struggle with your wip?

There are two parallel storylines in the story - Rowan's storyline when she is taken into the Fae realm, and the second storyline that follows the aftermath in her small town when her parents report her missing. I struggle a fair bit with actually writing the aforementioned second storyline because I get so caught up with all the lesbian dumbassery that I forget there is in fact a second layer to my plot.

6. Are there any animals in your story? Talk about them!

Crows, ravens and other corvids are ALWAYS a motif in my stories. The Sidhe also have a strong supernatural connection to the flora and fauna so not only are there several different kinds of forest dwelling animals in the story, but most of the characters can communicate with them!

7. How do your characters get around? (ex: trains, horses, cars, dragons, etc.)

Honestly for a fantasy book my setting/map is rather small so most of the travel is done by foot. I guess there'll probably be a few police cars involved and maybe some kind of sailboat at some point lmao

8. What part of your wip are you working on rn?

In the earlier stages of the first draft atm. I started this as a passion project only about 6 months ago even though I had the plot idea for a couple of years.

9. What aspects (tropes, maybe?) of your wip do you think will draw people in?

Queer fae. Need I say more? Also I'm hoping the fact that there are a lot more spooky/horror elements to this story, as opposed to a lot of faerie narratives, will interest people. It's all going to be set in Ireland as well so that's another demographic that I hope will enjoy it!

10. What are your hopes for your wip?

It's a queer story where the characters are just... queer.... and in love... there's no homophobia, no "I'm gay and that's okay and normal!", no having to come out - it just is right from the get go, a gay story about gay girls being gay without that being the focal point of the narrative - so I hope that if it ever gets published, it'll be a book that queer people can go to when they need a spooky gay fantasy without any of the trauma and alienation that we feel as queer people irl. I hope people connect to the story and take some comfort in the darkness.

And I'm gonna tag @sleepywriter00 @akiwitch and @eccaiia

Things I like to know about my RP Partners AKA “Yet Another About Me Post”

Like to be called: Cuinn (or any IGN)! I’ve used Tor for a long time too but I don’t think anyone’s actually ever called me that. Gender: Amoeba (any pronoun is okay) One thing you should know about me: I’m scared. One thing you should know about my character(s): Cuinn can be extremely vague and untalkative and it’s not a reflection of my thoughts or me trying to be difficult! If there’s some confusion, feel free to let it be IC or to ask for a little clarification OoC if you need some guidance to keep things going in a direction you prefer (I try to offer it before you need to ask but him being confusing or utterly infuriating is actually part of his character). Honestly it makes my day hearing the initial reaction to some nonsense he just said or did. Is it the language barrier? Is he just vague AF? Does he know that he’s vague AF? First language: English Second language: Rudimentary fragments of other languages... but if I must, French and various dialects of Chinese. I’ve really fallen out with these over the years, though.

Highlights

RP Blog: Contains OOC Posts | Does not Contain OOC Posts Single Muse Blog | Multimuse Blog | Aesthetic Blog

*kinda! this is a FFXIV blog not specifically for Cuinn, but he is my only active character. I count same-verse AUs as single muse. Age Range: Under 13 | 14–17 | 18–22 | 23–25 | 26–29 | 30+ | 70+

Am I ok with NSFW? Yes | No

*conditionally. “Dark” themes are usually okay but I shy away from vulgar or explicitly sexual themes.

My favorite most common thing to RP is: Angst | F L U F F GIVE ME THE FLUFF | Smut | Crack | Action | Slice of Life | Plots | Events | Canon Lore | Non Canon Lore | Other

OC Friendly: Yes | No

*somewhat related, I don’t RP with canon muses. Nothing against them--I honestly think it’s neat--but I am not interested in interacting with them.
