noyabeanswork was slow today (slow, as in: i had nothing to do at all) so I spent the time writing. hey, that's my job anyway, just a different kind of writing!
a muse for yet another Timeless spinoff came to bite me, so I'm taking time off of the second years gen fic and everything else I'd planned for the next Kuroyaku instalment so that I can focus on this one. it's going decent so far, definitely because I'm no longer writing from Noya's pov -_- although I'm starting to fret that I've written so much Yaku that my Noya carries a shadow of Yaku in him orz he's so petulant.
I'm still deciding, though, whether to make Konoha the immovable object to Noya, the unstoppable force, or to let Konoha and Noya both be caught up with each other's orbits. right now I'm keeping it as ambiguous as I possibly can without worrying that they end up being OOC, but I'll eventually have to make a decision. I'm lucky, in that sense, that Konoha has a very neutral personality, so I can shape him however I want and it technically would just be me choosing to highlight one part of him over another. I'd still have free rein to bring out the other part of him as and when I feel is necessary without him turning out overly OOC.
I still have no idea how I came across this ship, but here we are anyway. the only problem I'm facing at the moment is that 1.1k words in, not much has happened yet. I've spent all 1.1k setting up their relationship and the setting of the place that they're at lol orz
on another note, I went back to read my Noya vent fic last night when I was talking to Penny about Noya characterisation (she's very convinced that I can write him, but I beg to differ) and I'm of two minds about how I feel about it? on one hand I do think it is aligned with what I think of Noya, but part of me is saying 'that's not Noya, he wouldn't be like that'.
sigh.
PS: chanced upon one of the books I used to read when I was younger, and it suddenly came rushing to me - why was I so surprised that Ages, or Timeless, for that matter, would turn out to be a fantasy AU?
Almost every single one of my favourite book series growing up were fantasy. LOTR (heck, anything Middle-Earth), The Shadowhunter Chronicles, the Dragonkeeper trilogy, HP, The Inheritance Cycle, the Inkheart trilogy - all of these were huge favourites for me at some point in my life or another.
it honestly would be more of a question of, how come it took me so long to write a fantasy AU orz but I know my answer to that too! I feel like nothing I write will ever be able to compare to them, which is also why I don't read fanfic of written books, only animanga.
well... in any case, Timeless is the closest I'll get to publishing anything novel-length, or original, in the foreseeable future. so. *shrugs*
