Fluff, Relationships, and Traditions
Sep. 22nd, 2013 07:54 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
scribblemynameSo characters have habits, ways they interact with certain people and situations, things they do and like to do, stories and histories together. I've known a lot of my characters' for a long time but getting them all into fic is interesting, particularly for the ones I don't know that for.
I've got about five novelettes I want to turn out plus a short story, created out of the 5 Things Meme and then the whole Pieter/Ashen dynamic that originally played in my head before I even wrote that first Ashen drabble (and it is awesome to me, but got sidelined drastically with a deluge of other prompts), but, but, but...
I'm on day 265 of my challenge and story count 157 and I'm still plying angles and there's all those little things above that I'm itching to nibble at. Want to help a girl out?
Particularly of interest to me are things like where does Wesley work (not sure actually), and then relationship things that I haven't gotten to like how Justus always recognizes Shift regardless of her current form or demeanor, friendships, sibling relationships, Ilsa and her husband, etc.
Calling for prompts, as promised:
- character(s) and/or canon/fandom
- random word, quote, or other prompt
Oh, and I'll try to keep it short and fluffy or sweet. Try is the operative word. :grins:

- Justus + Special Unit

Re: Kingdoms and Thorn Fic: A Time to Die [7/7]
Date: 2013-10-29 04:45 pm (UTC)Painful, but good.
I mean that in all the insights into what happened to him, how it changed him, how he changed himself, even how Red Wolf changed.
There's so much... information here. I had to read it a couple times, and I'm sure there's more there that I need to go back for.
This would be more than I was hoping for back when I asked why Wolf and Justus didn't get along, what it was like when he first saw him again.
It's good... Terrible in some ways because of what is going on, but very good.

Date: 2013-10-29 05:42 pm (UTC)That's half the trouble of this stuff. You pick at one thread and a mess of them come unraveling with it. Why did it hit him so hard and why those two can barely stand each other is so wrapped up in what each of them separately became. And I was able to work in the rank thing, so that made me happy.

I was glad to see the rank thing in there, too. It made a lot of things make sense, too.

Date: 2013-10-29 07:13 pm (UTC)Why Justus and Ben ended up being taken (it was just a hint, but I'd never known why they'd do it when it was illegal and the teams were already grown.)
The way Justus acted is a lot more clear in almost every aspect.
There was a bit more of Sear and Protector, and they hadn't gotten a lot of prompts or "screen time" so the insights into them were interesting as well.
Kilter. I saw more of him, too and his role in things.
I did forget to mention that Justus' question about why the teams were assigned to work together made me wonder if the admins had been trying to see what would happen if he worked with Wolf.
And of course, there was lots of Shift in there, too.
Re: Kingdoms and Thorn Fic: A Time to Die [7/7]
Date: 2013-10-29 07:34 pm (UTC)I did mention more about the origin in Wake and Thrive, but I'm not sure if you ever read Rett's scenes in there. But in this, I did want to clarify it from the two's perspective. It was just hard because I couldn't decide/remember exactly what they'd seen so left it at "more." :le sigh:
Shift and Whisper were really the reason they were assigned to the mission. Those two had the most experience at that sort of thing.
Again, thanks for the breakdown. As I'm moving toward bookifying this world, I kinda need the help. :shakes head at self:
Re: Kingdoms and Thorn Fic: A Time to Die [7/7]
Date: 2013-10-29 07:41 pm (UTC)I read the whole thing back when you first wrote it. If you added to it, I may not have read that part, and I know there was other little stuff I missed, so I need to reread it.
Ah, okay. It did seem almost like it might have been a test to see how well Wolf and Justus had been readjusted, but it makes sense that it was the others.
You're welcome. Again.
