last song i listened to: storm by qing feng wu (ft. AURORA) currently watching: re-watching LOST with my husband, watching the new season of the rings of power, and, inevitably, re-reading the trials of mairon by bynightmylove (who used to have a different penname, something like ElliCarina, if memory serves) as a result.

sweet/savory/spicy?: ALL.

relationship status: married, homeowners, with dog! 💕 (though not necessarily in that order lol)

current obsessions: my doctoral program, my research, my husband, my dog (though not necessarily in that order lolol). also inevitably obsessed with the annual autumnal ritual going to a new farm every weekend to go apple picking, get fresh produce, BAKE NEW STUFF (today was just a classic apple pie!), drive to new towns and cities and villages, eat at new diners, and so on and so on. LAST BUT NOT LEAST—FINISHING THE #KRISCALLICOLLAB PROJECT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AHHHHHHHH 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

wait, what's the snow and sunshine au?

It’s a new story series I’m working on. I doubt I’ll ever get a full, long multi-chapter story out of it, but I do have plans for a bunch of little stories and one-shots. Right now, I’ve tagged everything I have. You can check it out here.

It’s something that came about from an ask sent in by @l-egionaire and then encouraged heavily by @the-magic-one-is-you. It’s basically about Elsa becoming a mother - and due to circumstances beyond her control, a single mother. I’m just kinda exploring the what-ifs about this scenario.

Ah man, I wish I could have done that this weekend. I had a wedding to go to instead, full of family asking questions about my non-existent job. So I pulled an Elsa in Frozen Fever and I got drunk instead ;)

Lol that’s also an option

Frozen 2.5 - Prologue + Chapter 1

I’m literally shaking. I can’t believe this day has finally come.

I first began work on this project back in November, on Frozen 2′s anniversary to be precise, and have worked on it for countless hours since. My artist for the project, the talented @myrthena, has also been working hard on the above cover art and other illustrations. After tons of edits and re-readings, I can’t express how happy I am to finally share it with all of you!

Frozen 2.5 is my next big Frozen writing project. But unlike my previous one, Seek the Truth, which is an essay-style analysis book, Frozen 2.5 is a post-Frozen 2 fanfiction novel, created very much in the same vein as the official Frozen novels Dangerous Secrets and Forest of Shadows. Anyone who’s been following my posts for a while knows that I mostly do essay/editorial writing and have never had much interest in reading or writing fanfiction. But like any fan, I’m always playing out fanfiction stories in my head. I just never felt the need to write one out in full - until now. But before you get to reading the story, a quick introduction is in order:

I had two main goals while writing Frozen 2.5. First goal was to create a Frozen story that would be indistinguishable from something Disney would officially release as a feature-length film. I wanted fans, whether hardcore or casual, to read this novel and think, “Yeah, I could see Disney making this for the next Frozen movie.” Obviously, that means there’s nothing in the story that would warrant a rating beyond PG, but as anyone familiar with Disney movies knows, that certainly doesn’t mean the story can’t have drama, angst, and dark moments (which it does). And my other goal, and probably the more important one, was to create a story that appeals to a wide range of Frozen fans, especially fans who are having trouble imagining if fun, likable scenarios can still take place with the new direction Frozen 2 took for our beloved characters. With that in mind, even though I’m not well versed in the Frozen fanfic community, I’m pretty sure my story will have some similarities to others (the world of Frozen does lend itself easily to common headcanons and narrative ideas). But in spite of this, I’m hoping Frozen 2.5 has enough of my own unique touch as a writer, and die-hard Frozen fan, to be something very interesting, unpredictable, and overall enjoyable for fans of many ages and tastes.

I’m going to be releasing a new chapter of the story every 1-2 days, starting with the prologue plus chapter 1 today, and ending with chapter 7 (the final chapter) and the epilogue on April 11th. Each chapter will have an original illustration by myrthena as well. The entire 63K+-word novel is written already, so don’t worry about me getting writer’s block and not finishing it. I just need a little more time to compile the illustrations and do a final review.

The release schedule is below (I’ll try to stick as close to it as possible, though it may vary slightly). You can follow me here or on Twitter to be notified when the new chapters are available. You can also check the respective pages on FF.net and AO3 (linked at the end of this post):

Release Schedule:

-Sun. 3/28 (today): Prologue and Chapter 1

-Tue. 3/30: Chapter 2

-Fri. 4/2: Chapter 3

-Sun. 4/4: Chapter 4

-Tue. 4/6: Chapter 5

-Fri. 4/9: Chapter 6

-Sun. 4/11: Chapter 7 and Epilogue

For the final release on April 11th, I’ll also include a complete edition that has all the chapters and illustrations together in one pdf, including an afterword written by me (where I discuss some history and final thoughts on the project).

With all that said, please enjoy the prologue and chapter 1 linked below. I have poured my heart, soul, and every fiber of my being as a Frozen fan into this story!

-----

Story Summary: It’s been about half a year since the events of Frozen 2. Anna is adjusting well as queen of Arendelle, and Elsa has been making slow but steady progress with reconnecting the spirits with the Northuldra. And while both sisters, as well as Kristoff, have been trying hard to create a unity between Arendelle and Northuldra, decades of animosity is proving difficult to mend. However, the new status quo is interrupted when Anna receives a letter from a queen of an unknown kingdom - a queen who still thinks that Elsa is the queen of Arendelle. Our heroes soon get caught up in the mysterious plans and dark history of this strange kingdom and its enigmatic queen. Trusts are tested, courage must rise against danger, answers slowly come to light, and in the end, all sides must come together to overcome an impending threat.

The prologue and chapter 1 mostly reintroduce the characters and their current status, and have a lot of endearing Frohana moments. But there is foreshadowing of the calm before the storm...

*I recommend reading the PDF version since FF.net and AO3 have limitations (not a lot of font choices, can’t show all images, no distinction between prologue/epilogue and chapters, and FF.net doesn’t let me have a period in the title)*

*Read PDF version HERE (recommended)

*Read on FF.net HERE (it’s called “Frozen 2 5″ because FF.net doesn’t let you include periods in titles)

*Read on AO3 HERE (thanks to @wintermoonqueen for the invite)

wintermoonqueen replied to your post “I have to watch these little tutorial videos as part of the material...”

that's fantastic xD

What’s funny is he also kinda reminded me of Josh Gad when I first saw him. But his voice is just a little bit quieter so I never really made the connection until I had to start watching these videos. The first one starts up with him just singing, “Back to school! Back to school!”

It’s great, honestly. :)

[insectoid5]

It was your birthday yesterday?? Happy belated birthday! I'm a terrible person for not realizing!!

Don’t sweat it, Amanda!  It’s the thought that counts.  (Thank you!! 😁)

[insectoid5]

As official as it can be without Disney having the courage to speak up.

I did not want to talk about Anna’s design in the leaked pic of Frozen 2 until it wasn’t official, but now it is so…
