Thomas story complete
5 December 2018 01:00 amAfter some tinkering on a couple of paragraphs, I think I've got the Thomas-PoV Crimson Peak story in a workable shape; I'm not very sure about a title for it, but going on the old principle of 'what is the theme -- as versus the subject -- of the story', I've tentatively decided on "Change of Heart". The idea is to try for a double meaning by hinting that maybe there's going to be an alternate ending in which Thomas does genuinely renounce Edith, whereas also covering the canon-compliant outcome I've actually written. I'm not especially pleased with it as a title, but it will have to do in lieu of anything better.
I managed to find a copy of the "Crimson Peak" novelization in the local library,( Read more... )
I had a vague notion that I might use this fandom for the Writers Anonymous 'December Holiday challenge', since according to my reckoning the final showdown must have occurred around early December -- a few weeks into winter. Having done Thomas' and Alan's points of view, I thought there might be something to be done with Lucille's perspective: ghostly Lucille observing the inquest on her own body.( Read more... )
If I do write this, I shall definitively have acquired a new fandom, which is something I can do without,( Read more... )
I have, however, actually written a hundred words or so on Nautical Raoul today (after more looking-up of marine engine design); I think I've finally caught my flashback chapter up to where it started, with the ship past the tip of Norway and out in the Barents Sea, running into the first signs of pack ice, but with the engines on the verge of being usable. In other words, I've almost finished patching the gigantic plot hole and can resume the fray at Plot Point 7 (written over a year ago -- ouch!)
