#titles are my NEMESIS

[starqueensthings]

The Only Exception:

Foreword, Basics, and References

Basics: 3rd POV, primarily following the main character (OC) with occasional shifts to other perspectives (separated by chapter). 

Pairing: Captain Howzer x fem!OC; then Jesse x fem!OC; then maybe something else… maybe something of the same… TEEHEE

Characters: more clone OC’s than I can count, tons of human OC’s, Twi-lek OC’s, many of our favourite TCW characters like Fives, Echo, Jesse, Kix, and Rex playing large parts of the story. Tup, Hardcase, Dogma, Cody, Keeli, and others also make appearances. 

Rating: will shift chapter by chapter between 16+ for mature themes, and 18+ for explicit themes. 

Posting Schedule: will not be consistent. The undulation of ADHD means there are days to weeks where my brain can’t translate a single sentence from thought to written word, so I’m hesitant to commit to a structured, weekly schedule but will do my best.

Things that probably don’t need to be noted, but because I’m both anxious and uncontrollably long-winded, I feel the need to explain: 

This work was written novel style, and not necessarily the traditional 2nd POV, x reader fanfiction style that we all know and love. These characters have names, histories, appearances that are both eluded to and mildly described, as well as personality traits that may not be desirable to some. For example: the main character, June, harbors some resentment toward men because of some lingering trauma from her past, and unfortunately lets it influence many of her decisions. There are times, particularly in the beginning of the story, where she can be highly sensitive to what some would consider harmless, off-the-cuff remarks, and becomes combative and irrational as a result. Her reactions are particularly placed to emphasize aspects of her character, so that we can witness her growth and/or regressions throughout the story. 

In that same token, this story will hover around + touch on some uncomfortable  topics, particularly toward the end. Whump/angst/hurt+comfort/fluff/smut will all be present themes, and I WILL be tagging each chapter very clearly and very thoroughly. SA and parental trauma will be eluded to throughout the entirety of the story and recollected/explained toward the end. Additionally, smut scenes will be segregated into their own chapters and will be written as not to affect the flow of the story, so if you choose to skip those, you don’t miss out on anything plot wise. All of that being said, this is largely a light hearted story about growth and unexpected love as it presents itself in several forms. 

Additionally (and very importantly) June is highly intelligent and medically proficient. I am neither of those things. Not even close. I tried to research as much medical terminology as possible prior to/during writing, but probably 75% of it will make no sense to someone who’s very familiar with medical things/conditions/procedures. Lastly, I tried to keep this story as canon compliant as possible, but the Clone Wars timeline is challenging to navigate. Creative liberty was taken in some spots where canon is murky, but otherwise I tried to remain as true to the Star Wars events as we know them. Language will fluctuate mildly between in-universe and modern day. I kept it as Star Wars as possible, but absolutely refuse to use “transparisteel” in place of glass, “flimsi” makes me cringe, and will always prefer shower over “sonic” lol 

Common Star Wars words are below:

Holo Computer: Desktop Computer

Holopad: kinda like a cellphone

Datapad: kinda like an iPad/tablet

Durasteel: metal

Duraplas: plastic

Massiff: a dog-ish creature that kinda looks like an alligator lol

“Kriff”: “Fuck” or “Shit” (a swear word, not the noun of a fuck or a shit lol)

“Kriffing”: “Fucking” (adjective, not the action of fucking)

Chrono: watch/clock

Hoverbed: like a gurney or hospital bed that floats 

Air Speeder: floating car with side-by-side seats

Speeder bike: floating motorcycle

Fresher: washroom/bathroom/loo

Di’kut: Idiot

Mesh’la: beautiful (noun)

Cyare: darling (noun)

Caf: coffee

“Maker” or “Gods” or “Stars”: “God” or “Lord” (frustrated; not religious lol)

Camtono: a cooler/portable freezer

Flimsi: paper

a bajillion more listed in this fantastic post.

Terms I made up because canon was lacking (list is on-going):

NBA or Nociceptor Blocking Agent: the pain injection we see them jab into peoples necks

USI or Universal Serum Injector: the injection tool itself (serum vial is loaded per dose)

Defibrillator “defib” Pods: small, high tech, portable defibrillator

Cleanser Tube: essentially a washing machine recessed into the hall. Very similar to a front loading washing machine where only the door is visible. 

Sanitation Station: a weird contraption that cleans/disinfects someone’s hands before coating them in nitrile (instead of pulling on surgical gloves). 

“Maker have mercy”: “for the love of God” (frustrated; not religious lol) 

Blue wine: white wine

Purple wine: red wine

Cauterizing Pen/Electromagnetic Stapler: used in the place of stitches

MedScanner: I did not conceptualize the scanner itself, but did make up all the settings and uses lol

“Flimsi Flinger”: “Paper Pusher”

“Double-barrelled Blaster”: a double edged sword

hi love!!! 8, 13 & 16 if you’re still answering questions❤️

Hi! Fic writer asks here.

8. What project(s) are you currently working on? So still very much up to my eyeballs in no such thing as over this, my S7 fix-it. It's going to get an epilogue which will add a separate oneshot to the same series in case anyone wants to avoid explicit sex scenes (or in case anyone wants to skip all the trauma and character development and get straight to the explicit sex scene, I guess, no judgment here), so that's kind of in the back of my mind on and off but I haven't actually written anything down for it yet.

I'm also (still) about 23,000 words into a one-chapter-per-episode thing starting mid S2 which may or may not see the light of day. The document is currently titled 'am I actually doing this lol' and I started it before I started either of the CM things I've actually published - I feel like even what I've already written is going to take a decent amount of editing before I'm happy with it now even though I have 9 chapters marked complete, so. . . Idk. I probably will start posting this at some point but I don't knowww. It isn't exactly story shaped which makes me a bit nervous.

13. How much planning do you do before writing? It depends on the size and shape of the story. I did zero planning for someone else's solid ground, which is about normal for a 1-2 chapter thing for me. I knew what I wanted them to talk about and the rest of it was just sex lol. But no such thing as over this has a chapter-by-chapter outline that tells me which episodes I'm covering and the general plot points and emotional beats to hit in wildly varying levels of detail. And there's a whole scene from the last chapter already written in there.

16. At what point in the process do you come up with titles? When not having a title becomes the thing stopping me from posting. I hate titles. I just steal them from songs but the mood of the song needs to be right and it needs to have one line that's title-y enough and preferably another quotable part so I can use two parts of the same song in the notes of the first and last chapter. . . I make it trickier than it needs to be lol.

Just A Second

Pairing: Lando Norris/Esteban Ocon Word Count: 4k Rating: Explicit

After Hungary, comes Monza and an unanswered text. Then there's Imola, where Esteban is shut down before he even tries. But then time goes by, and things fall back to the normal rhythm. And then there's Monaco.

Inspired by this moment from the 2023 Monaco Grand Prix.

Continuation of Bet On It. 🔒

A bunch of doodles trying to get a feel for the second book of Felix's series.

The revolution has been successfully kickstarted but there's still a long ways to go before they can secure any kind of freedom, not to mention the heavy losses they took to even get it to this point.

While the main group of rebels (that we followed in the first book) are getting their feet back under them, the small collections of revolutionists that have been hiding in the shadows until now are finally finding it's actually possible for them to move... but without unity between all these groups, they're going to be pretty easy to squash by the massive gov that's only been "tripped". In the midst of all this Felix is struggling to process the events of the first book and not lose the ground he's already gained.

The plot is still a mess but we're getting there 😂

Writer ask game 10 and 75 ❤️

thanks for the ask! <3 (writer ask game)

10. at what point in the process do you come up with titles, and how easy or hard is that for you?

oh it is almost always the last thing i do before posting, and that is because i find it really hard XD sometimes i can't think of anything better than my working title, other times i go trawling through the fic for an interesting line to use. very occasionally i'll come up with a good title from the start or partway through drafting, but usually it's a last minute scramble.

75. do you know how your story ends before you start writing?

i think so, usually? it's actually been a while since i started a brand new story idea, so it's hard for me to be sure about this. i think i tend to start off with a beginning, maybe a few key beats, and and ending, and it's the connective tissue in between that takes the most time to come up with. (i am rarely able to write in order. i tend to jump around and draft those first few scenes that are in my head, and then go back and fill in the gaps.)

Day 7 of Femslash February: "Your every breath is a gift from me,"

[jennynext]

hi! can i ask what your url is from? (i have an idea what it might be referencing but i'm still curious)

hi sorry i totally missed this so no clue when you actually asked it!!

my url is a reference to the Thursday Next series by Jasper Fforde, some of my favorite books-- Jenny is the protagonist Thursday's daughter, except that she doesn't actually exist. it's a whole thing.

great books, starting with The Eyre Affair-- i highly recommend them if you haven't read 'em!!

[titan-wolfdog]

Yeah okay I'm doing it, I got a solid idea and access to their dialogue lines, so I'm going to scream in a corner

I'm so desperate for more Melinoë x Nemesis content I'm thinking of writing a fic for them. I haven't written or posted anything to AO3 since Nov 2023
