But wait you said it takes 30 years for undine to get human transformation down. But What about our girl? She been seen as human and mermaid with no issues. Or is it special circumstances like being half human?

Ah, easy mistake~ Take note that Juniper never developed fins when she touched water, all I said was that her scales itched and she needed to reach water to calm it. I never described that she developed a tail heheh

Juniper still doesn't know "what" she is.... But alas, that's a "wait and see" question :}c

I like drawing pedes as oversized booties -- like big rain boots. Still trying to figure out exactly how I want to draw shoulder joints (if at all). I also have nothing more to say about helms.

In any case, I like my Transformers stupid-looking -- dot eyes and weird, triangular-looking noses included!

Hii, I saw your comment on cambridge-madness post about the royals storyline and I have a royal too, for the last 8 years or so, and for the first time since 2018 I’m doing major changes (for reference, I don’t have a “real” country, I made up one because I wanted to use the relation to other royal families).

With that, I started reading you posts and they are amazing, I’m at the Swedish abdication right now, but I have some questions!!

1- I have the same question as anon, on how do you organize the storyline, do you use a different way to document everything? because your story it very detailed with two monarchies (France and Sweden)…

I use google docs and google sheets (I make up some random templates to try to make sense of the all the information on the country and monarchy, but at times it gets messy). I tried to use notion but didn’t adapt well to it…

2- In regards to the royal family tree, what yours do like, I know that you use the Bonapartes as a way to explain the continuation of the monarchy, how many monarchs you have since?

And what software do you use to make the family tree (assuming you make a family tree… I used to use paint, very time consuming, now I use Libre Office (there’s a YouTube that makes royal family trees and I love it he did a tutorial on how he uses it, the page is UsefulCharts)…

3- another question (for now 🤓) You use any of the real royal families, as I notices that you have French, Swedish and Italian royals in your story

Well, thank you!! It’s nice to find someone who have royals too 😆😊

I'm glad you're enjoying the story! Thank you for reading

1 - All of the most important bits are stuck in my brain. Evie and Julien have been with me since I was sixteen. Their story has changed a lot (Julien spent several years as the heir to the fictional country of Mufrana rather than France, for example) but the key components have always stayed the same: they're in love, his family is messy, and they are going to find a way to be happy together.

Other key bits I know: how many children they're going to have, how Julien comes to the throne, what Fiona's happily ever after will look like.

Having said that... I also use a TON of other resources to keep it all straight. I have a notebook with a bunch of research on the Bonapartes and other royal families. I also have a Discord server where I dump a bunch of information. I have an enormous Scrivener file with over 100,000 words of earlier versions of this story, too! I comb through that occasionally for good lines, scenes I can adapt, or information I forgot.

I plan the site on a month-by-month basis. I comb through the real events I've compiled, decide which ones Evie and/or Julien should attend, and plot out their schedule. It's also helpful at this point to remind myself of plot points I need to continue! The list of scene ideas lives in my everyday bullet journal along with my to-do lists.

2 - I once built the Bonaparte family tree in PowerPoint, which was a nightmare. Do not recommend. The most complete version lives in (you guessed it) a story-specific notebook. I really should create a nice version for the website, though.

I can write out the family tree here, but it would overwhelm this already long response, so it'll have to be a separate post!

3 - Since Princess Imperial is alternate history, I decided to make up all the royals. It's easiest that way.

Is it a bit weird for Sweden, Denmark, Luxembourg, Monaco, UK, etc. to have different royals than the ones we know and love? Yes. But hopefully the completely fictional royal houses make it less jarring when the Egyptian, Iranian, Italian, and Russian royals appear!

I cannot stop thinking about Dottore negotiating with Nahida and the way his voice and demeanor shifts after she gives her verdict on his way of seeking knowledge

a promise

Enid reached out, so slowly, as if she expected her to move away. Were it anyone else, Wednesday would have moved. She would have already grabbed the supplies left behind by those she slaughtered and sprinted out into the next chamber.

But this was Enid.

Enid was the one who came and assisted her in destroying the monsters, despite the many mortals on the surface no doubt waiting for a visit from Death. It was Enid, with her bright blue eyes and the ability to pin Wednesday in place with merely a look and a smile. It was Enid who Wednesday would gladly give herself over to in her last breaths if only to gaze upon her face as the world faded out. 

So Wednesday stayed and waited. 

Death's hand closed around the back of her neck, like a brand of hot iron, and pulled her in enough to press their foreheads together. Her heart stuttered in her chest, her neck burned where Enid’s palm met the smooth, unmarred skin, and she watched as Enid’s eyes slammed closed, before she followed suite.

"Come back to me," Enid whispered. "Do what you set out to do but come back. Okay?"

Wednesday nodded. "I swear to you, mi luz, I will return. By the Styx or your arms—" Wednesday hooked two fingers around Enid's choker and pulled her closer, close enough for their lips to brush with every word. "—I promise I will always return to you."

I think what I love most writing the luke/Hector fics is that both of them and the two sequels planned for hollyhock…the fics do have a theme song. But I found that for each chapter I have to find the correct cover of each theme song.

Hollyhock’s is “don’t fear the reaper”

Chapter one’s version

Chapter two’s

Chapter three’s

Chapter four’s

Chapter five’s

Chapter six’s

And while I haven’t yet even got close…chapter seven, where the final confrontation with the knight happens.

Yes there’s three chapters after seven but I haven’t decided yet lol

While the other one, opposite of fate or destiny is sheer coincidence, has everything I wanted by Billie Eilish as the theme.

Chapter one

Chapter two

Chapter three

Chapter four

Chapter five

Each chapter does have its own playlist for motivation when I’m working on it, but each playlist has its own version of the fic’s song. And the “couple song” I have for Hector and Luke. No covers, it’s just a banger I put in anything and everything ( @augment-techs it’s also on Daniel/Trek, Kim/Trini, and Stan/Matt playlists)

Fun fact, the sequel to Hollyhock’s theme’s already been picked, and so has the couple songs for Hector and Mara Jade, and Luke and Mara Jade respectively.

I love this little “oh I can give a fic a theme song!” Realization because it lets me tack on a song I can’t get out of my head, makes the story fun for me because even if I don’t tell someone I know it’s got a theme song, and it makes a fun little inside joke for me.

I just want to tell people for these specifically because oh boy I love these songs way too much

Chapters: 2/11 Fandom: Danny Phantom, Batman - All Media Types, Red Hood and the Outlaws (Comics) Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Jazz Fenton/Jason Todd/Roy Harper/Koriand'r, Roy Harper/Koriand'r/Jason Todd Characters: Jazz Fenton, Jason Todd, Roy Harper, Koriand'r (DCU), Lex Luthor Additional Tags: Ghost Princess Jazz, Ambassador Jazz, BAMF Jazz Fenton, playing fast and loose with how politics actually work, prepare your suspension of belief for these politics because you'll need it, Liminal Jazz Fenton, kind of a bodyguard au, Established Roy Harper/Koriand'r/Jason Todd, Lian Harper Lives, idk if she'll actually show up but still, some identity shenanigans probably, it's a Rom-Com honestly, but with politics and Lex Luthor ruining Jazz's whole month, each chapter is named after a different relevant taylor swift song Summary:

Ever since the world discovered the existence of the Infinite Realms and its High King Phantom, the world's governments have been unable to decide what to do about the ectoplasmic beings coming from the tears in reality. With the Anti-Ecto Acts setting the precedent, Phantom's Court is short on time and resources.

Enter Princess Jasmine Fenton, official human ambassador for the Infinite Realms. She is set to speak with the United Nations General Assembly in hopes of getting a seat, but not everyone wants her to achieve her goals.

With every government-affiliated hero's hands tied, it's up to the Outlaws to protect the princess from the scheming hands of Lex Luthor. But the closer they get, the more they realize that Princess Jasmine is not as normal as she seems.

Chapter 33/35

Words: 3,700

Rating: M (language)

Modern AU- Server!Kristoff and Server!Anna

Summary: Questions are asked. Answers aren’t given properly before interruption. A bit of chaos ensues.

Kristoff is driving back home, Anna following him in her Prius, and he wishes he’d just told Honeymaren to fuck right off. For all the pushing and shoving she had done to try and get he and Anna together, she was being completely oblivious to the fact that he very much wanted to hang out with Anna alone for longer than two seconds.

He merely wants to talk to her. He’d tried before he’d dropped her off before work, but Ryder had interrupted him.

The Natturas were 0 and 0.
