so anyway I took another look at the old hatefic which went on pause because the source material is actually unredeemable but I still really stand by all the bits I added and the ocs and the concept overall so here's what I'm thinking:

actually go through and check which lines are mine and which are sourced so I can be sure I'm not plagiarising any phrasing. it's unlikely bc I remember really hating the source writing style and rewriting lots of entire scenes to be less painful to me but I need to be sure

rework some of the characters and setting to actually work for me, which also gives me tons of leeway for the plot stuff too. scrap anyone who isn't an oc and create ocs to replace anyone who's still necessary

figure out what's going on with all the characters who don't take off on a trauma bonding camping trip

figure out what the actual plot is. there's enough foreshadowing I didn't bother to figure out the meaning of that I should be able to do that, especially since I no longer have to be in any way beholden to the source worldbuilding

assess how gay it is and then make it gayer

#don't worry I can't actually dedicate time to this until after I finish dealing with everything else #this is lower priority than going on forever or Jane Eyre Monster Hunter or gay summertime or even rewriting haven #it's lower priority than finishing rewriting ourselves and immortality for sure and screwball gods might take priority too #and divine justice #and also I need to finish reading and commenting on tori's library ghost murder book which I can't remember the title of atm #so like. this won't be soon. I am. letting it stew in my brain while I'm thinking of it though #in case a plot rises fully formed from the goop #as one does #it's fine I know none of you are like. on tenterhooks waiting for this #oh underworld summer that's what else is definitely higher in priority #and also the Kinyarwanda-English reference book although I guess that's going to be a long ongoing process for a while #I'd say that spores and symbioses is also more important but let's be honest will I ever get to that #OH GODS I FORGOT ABOUT ALICE AND KINGSLEY that's also up there #convenient highwayman might be on indefinite hold though so that's something #gods I really do just pile these on huh #if I ever get it together and write all these novels it's over for you bitches
