hi! i just read GIAC and it was super lovely and i have a question if u don’t mind!! (feel free to ignore me lol) out of curiosity, did your idea for the ending change at all in the years it took to write the final chapter or did you always know this is how it was going to go? also what was your favorite scene to write? this story is so sweet and i think about it all the time so reading the last chapter was the best thing ever! thanks for sharing your writing with us 💕💕

omg this is like the sweetest message 😭 thank you so much for reading it and i'm glad you enjoyed it!!!

the general idea of the ending stayed the same, which was that it would take place right around jenna and beetle's wedding. learning the dance was also in the original idea. but years ago, there was no party scene (the biggest changes were just punching up the locations and situations to be less boring), the convo between beetle and sep took place at a suit fitting, and the whole wedding party was a way bigger deal. i remember trying to figure out so hard who would populate the bridesmaids and groomsmen and caring SO much about it lol

i started actually writing it again in late 2020 because of the pandemic, and i had lost the actual writing that i had done so all i had were my notes. i had spent a fair amount of time over the years thinking about it, so i had an idea of what i wanted, but i had to start over, and i think that's a great thing! what i had initially had wasn't working, so starting fresh years later was the only way to go

my favourite scene to write was the scene in the kitchen with the Girl Squad!! i had a lot of fun with the party scene too (there are lines in there that still make me laugh lol), but that baking scene was so incredibly self-indulgent. in canon, snorri and jenna are kinda friends for a little bit, and that's it, the rest of them are not close. but like. my vision. i see it in my head, i see the possibilities. also, for as well-written and diverse as the female characters are, we are lacking a bit in genuine female friendship. so imagining that dynamic and getting to play with it was definitely my favourite part 😊

it really warms my heart to hear that the story had an impact on you and that you've enjoyed it!! it was really comforting for me to get to write during the pandemic, and i've re-read it like 50 times at this point, so hearing that it was impactful for someone else too is so meaningful. thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

mariam!!! 💖💓💞💘💕 okay now that i answered that huge writing ask i have some writing themed ones for you: 1. what first motivated you to start writing? 2. did anything inspire kikou?? or did they just come to you in a wonderful stroke of genius? 3. which oc's perspective is your favorite to write in?

hi jenna!!

1. what first motivated you to start writing?

get ready for this epic answer: well i was 14 and had just discovered wattpad.... can't remember how but i thought it would be really fun if i made up my own characters and wrote a story for them (i also wanted attention/validation ghskdfjh). so i did, and uhhh basically i had read dan brown's angels and demons at the time and just inserted my own characters into like a simplified version of that story and that's my humble origin story hhfhfhfh i made all my friends read it and even asked other wattpad people to make covers for my 'books' sgdgsgdhdhdh i distinctly remember book 1 was "a party gone wrong" and book 2 was "a wedding gone wrong" i think they ended up having like 14k reads or something ..... since then i've made the account private bc as embarrassing and mortifying as it is i just can't let it go, like that's my first legit writing and i can't bear to delete it

so yes, basically i thought it would be fun :’))) and it was so much fun, cringey as it is to think back on it now. what i love about writing is the almost infinite ways to express things, the delights of a turn of phrase, descriptions that immerse you into the story world....i love playing with and weaving together with words, the things you can do and effects you can create with them are endless, it’s magical <3

2. did anything inspire kikou?? or did they just come to you in a wonderful stroke of genius?

the short answer is nope!! they really just appeared to me, kiku in particular just popped into my head pining for the palace healer :’)) it’s always like this with me for characters ...i never actively think “oh i need a himbo” or “maybe i need an emo goth” (zen and shou ghdkfjh), they’ll just come into my head unprompted with the simple bare bones of their personality that i then further discover and flesh out as i write them :’) 

the long answer is, well in 2017 i had written like 200k words of a wandering, stoic ex-warrior and a bubbly courtesan in edo period japan (never shared that writing here but you can at least see what they look like in the links 😭) and was just thinking how else i could expand on the world as i had spent a lot of time writing about the road and the red light district. and then i thought 'uhh how have i never explored the royals' and then immediately into my head sprung a sweet shy little prince and his stern and sharp older sister. i knew right away kiku was going to have a crush on the palace healer (oh and fun fact: it took me a long time to settle on a name for kou! i was finally almost going to just call him yuki...but it didn’t click for me, it just didn’t feel right. and so after one last search online, i came across kou: simple and elegant and i fell in love with the name. and sweet bonus that their ship name just flows together seamlessly), who excelled in traditional medicine and also possessed a little bit of magic involving kanji -- i've always loved that brand of rune magic that involves tracing a rune on some object and having that effect that take place. kou uses it on kiku when he comes dashing into his chambers for a small cut. kiku watches mystified as kou takes his hand in his and traces the kanji for 'seal' onto the table. the little kanji peels itself off the table, flitting through the air before fluttering down onto his cut palm. there's a small flash of light and when kiku opens his eyes, the cut is gone, flesh pink and steaming slightly. my main inspiration for this little scene was that tiny moment in spirited away where yubaba takes away part of chihiro's name and leaves her with sen. i loved the way the kanji floated off the page. omg i just went off on a tangent....

i always think it's funny that kiku just appeared to me already pining for kou, it's not like i was actively thinking “hmmm i need a forbidden romance"....he's been pining from the very beginning 😔💕 there were other really specific things i just knew right away, like kou being blind, his signature color being olive, and kiku having a bit of magic too in that he can make his little origami creations come to life :') he loves to put this in effect when he wants to talk to kou across the room during a formal dinner: he'll whisper a little message to his paper crane and send it off, and when it reaches kou, it relays the message to him in his ear. 

with kikou, i just.....it’s all about the yearning 😭💕

3. which oc's perspective is your favorite to write in?

kiku :'))) i think that must be obvious to anyone by now hhghfhfh i've written him the most and everything just comes so easily to me when i write from his perspective. he's so kind and sweet, and the world is a soft place through his eyes. he loves nature and always takes time to appreciate the small things, and i love describing everything from scenery and landscape to the fleeting and sometimes burning thoughts in his mind :’) descriptive writing is where i excel in and kiku gives me so much opportunity to do that. and he also gives me the opportunity to write my favorite things ever...pining and hands and fleeting longing touches 🥺🥺🥺 i think i really ought to give other characters chances too but.....since i don't have any actual story the main focus is just on the forbidden romance and the pining 🥺🥺🥺 although lately i have been branching out with zen and hajime and shou (and my new oc!!!)...still, there's no doubt that kiku shares most of my traits, so that's why i'm the most comfortable writing him :')

hi mariam!! i thought of two more random questions: what are the top countries/cities/sights around the world that you want to see and explore? and completely unrelated, if you had your own garden what are the fruits, vegetables, flowers, and/or herbs you'd most want to grow? 🌱🍓🌸

hello jenna! 💖

oooh well japan is top of my list for places i want to travel to, obviously :') in my ideal trip i would love to see both the urban and rural areas .... personally would love to go see shirakawa-go (the village full of houses with the thatched roofs....so charming), hida-takayama (town that looks straight from edo period, so much writing inspo!), sagano bamboo forest, the wisteria tunnel at kawachi fuji gardens, kenroku-en garden (insp for kiku's garden!! i love), and hitachi seaside park! and i want to pet deer in nara :") that's just a small list of places i would love to see in japan, but the language barrier makes me nervous esp if you go outside the major cities...even though i know there are so many tourists and getting around won't be a problem, my anxiety loves to tell me otherwise...

another place i would love to go is scotland! ever since i watched brave 2012 i've wanted to experience the beauty of the misty highlands in person, especially the isle of skye. if the pictures are enough to enrapture me, i can only imagine what it must be like actually being there :') seeing the ruins of a crumbling castle perched on a grassy hill, spiralling rock formations dotting the rugged landscape, waterfalls cascading into swirling iridescent pools in the fairy glen...💭💕🍃

and for my own garden, i would love to grow jasmine, strawberries, peaches, basil and peppers~ i don't have a green thumb in the slightest but it's fun to daydream :')
