nothing motivates me to write better than my own need to find out what happens next

[moulinblanc0800]

thank you to those who leave me comments, kudos, write sweet things in bookmarks, and/or subscribe to my fics; the encouragement means more to me than I can possibly convey. I never would have finished writing anything or discovered how much I love telling stories to people and connecting to people via words if it weren't for all the support.

I also feel exactly the same fervour for those people who have written the fanfics that consume my brain, I feel like I literally wouldn't be the person I am today without those incredible works, whatever I put out pales in comparison to the stuff I see around, but it inspires me to keep improving... I'll never forget the ups and downs that some fics made me feel, breathtaking scenes, iconic lines... all of it stays in my brain years and years on.

nothing will ever amaze me the way fanfiction authors do. like, you wrote silly little stories about my favorite little guys? and i can read them?? for free??? that’s fucking wild.

you poured your heart and soul and very being into your writing and then put it out there for anyone to read? insane.

you spend a truly incredible amount of time writing novel-length, high quality stories, again, FOR FREE, that anyone can read, again, FOR FREE??

shoutout to every single fic author in existence, you guys are fucking incredible and i love all of you so much

I don't do 50k words for novelember anymore because I write best when I'm not being rushed, but I'm still writing 👍 I've also been doing some editing and rewriting of the front parts

Hey,

do you have any Cherik Moulin Rouge AUs?

Here is a Moulin Rouge inspired au for you to enjoy, Anon!

Come What May by FuryRed

A prostitute. A meeting with a wealthy investor. What could possibly go wrong? Well, for Charles- apparently a lot.

On the night he is supposed to seduce an extremely important client, a case of mistaken identity means that Charles accidentally ends up groping the wrong man. It’s a stupid mistake and one that Charles would rather just forget but, unfortunately for Charles, the person he manhandled isn’t quite so willing to just let things go...

Basically, a Cherik fic inspired by my favourite film- Moulin Rouge.

this, but people think of me much better than I think of myself

like it is actually horrifying sometimes. where are you guys getting this idealised version of myself . I have managed to fool you all into thinking I remotely have my shit together. now somehow I have to live up to these expectations....

you’ve heard of the mortifying ordeal of being known, now get ready for the

I used to be incredibly pretentious about Jukebox musicals, until seeing moulin rouge. Really I think it’s the acception to the rule simply because it knows how to properly use the music it’s chosen. It also isn’t always word for word- they mash and mix as well as changing lyrics to better suit characters and situations.

Something I like particularly is how certain genres and artists work for certain characters.

Christian’s main songs come from Elton John. He gets the slower, sweet songs that have a underlying sadness to them. Love songs for the lover. But, he’s not all sweet and sad- he has an edge to him. Angst, jealousy. His other major songs are by The Police- a “edgier” music group, their songs tend to be darker.

The Duke’s main songs come from The Rolling Stones. His introduction to satine is a literal medley of their songs. The flash, the glamor, rock and roll! I’m a big deal and everyone should fucking know it! Them using Sympathy for the devil as his intro is actually everything.

Satine is a interesting case because she has a mix of main songs where it’s hard to draw the line. There’s “the sparkling diamond” and there’s Satine. Most of her songs are women lead numbers , unsure of their love and who had been scorned before. What’s love got to do with it? Love is a battlefield. Diamonds are forever is arguably more satine than her on stage— it’s about the vulnerability of knowing she’s used by men and most don’t genuinely care- how she can see right through all of them etc.

It’s that they properly know how to assign the songs to the characters and aren’t afraid to alter them. It doesn’t feel clunky and it fits! Despite being a historical musical. I have to love them for it

who up being heartbroken by the imaginary scenarios for the fictional characters that you made up in your head

[darling-stardust]

If anyone has listened to Gaga's accompanying album for Folie á Deux, I am just thinking about the brief time Hermie gets in the Goof Realm and seeing him running around a stage in classic outfits, burlesque one pieces with feathers and Italian suits, just performing songs and plays

I need more Goof Realm Hermie
