I've been pretty firmly back on my Trek bullshit for about a year now, but prior to that, I was all up in CaptainHill land. The installments of this old gen have been getting some love as people look up Maria Hill fanfic for....reasons, so I thought I'd post it here.

Enjoy!

WIP latest line game 💌

Rules: Write the latest line from your wip and tag as many people as there are words in the line. Make a new post, don’t reblog.

Thank you for the tag, @youvebeenlivingfictional 💕

Writing is slow recently but there are words!

Last written line from Honey Trap (Pike x Reader, request):

“I never thought you were interested. And there was no gossip, you never dated at all… I thought you weren’t interested in relationships. In… this.”

Last written line(ish) from When we have time (Michael Burnham x Christopher Pike):

Michael manages to make her tone sound matter-of-fact. “But when I saw Ash in person again, just for a second I had a flashback to his hand around my throat, trying to choke me to death.”

Tagging @ichayalovesyou and @lyricalviolet if you feel like it, and anyone else who fancies sharing <3

How do you write about far flung locales so well? Are you ridiculously well traveled? Brighton Beach, Oslo, Amsterdam, bumfuck Russia, London....everywhere you write about I belive that you know it so well. How do you do that?

Ahaha, I am... decently well traveled (though not nearly as much as I want to be, especially in the Age of Plague), so that does help in some cases. For the rest, it can be chalked up to a) my obsessive research habits, b) maniacal love of world-building, and c) (currently thwarted) vicarious wanderlust. That was the case even before we were stuck in Covid jail, so half the fun of writing fics set in distant locales is to get to do the imaginative work of pretending to actually be there. (No, seriously. When oh when do we get to travel again.)

Hence, I spend a lot of time on Google Maps, Wikipedia, image search, blogs, etc, in order to get details and places right, though I retain the right to tweak them here and there for dramatic purposes. I always like to help a reader clearly visualise a setting and to picture where the characters are, what they're feeling, and what it looks like, to the point of picking out things such as Matthias’s exact apartment in PEL and other tiny details. Some places I have been myself (or at least somewhere similar) and so I can add in things of my own experience, which may have happened there or somewhere else. But yes, since it is the only kind of traveling we are liable to do for a while yet, I have to make the most of it, and so I research as if I was actually going there. So yes. I am glad you appreciate it. :)

Surprise !

Hi, everyone. No, I haven't gone bonkers, and I'm sorry if anyone got *really* excited that I added another chapter to this. I haven't. However, there *have* been some updates to this. First off, there's a playlist. In the story notes, you see a link to the official YouTube Music playlist for Doubt Thou the Stars Are Fire. It's music I listened to as I was writing this, things I found to set the mood. As I went along in the writing process, I realized the music was telling the story as much as my writing was, so I ordered the playlist to follow along with Stars. As you can probably also see, I embedded the cover art in the notes. I also added section art and artwork for the interludes. I created all the artwork herein, with, as always, gentle and enthusiastic feedback from the wonderful No-C-Riously. This is a book. From July to November of 2022, I wrote a 140,576-word book based on Star Trek Discovery Season 2. After it was finished, I wanted to more clearly define the Acts of the book, so I looked up the phases of a military engagement. As you go through the piece, you will now see artwork detailing the start of a new phase, as well as the phase's definition -- at least, as it's defined by the US Military.  #'Murica I hope, if you've already read this behemoth, you'll give it another thought,  with the multimedia enhancements I've added. Thank you for your time, your support, your key smashing, and your love for this story. Always, LyricalViolet September 15, 2023

Get to know me

Thanks for the tag @p1utoisaplanet!

animal: rabbit. this is an old running joke between @iamthebadwolf85 (consider yourself tagged), @madmediamaven (if you do see this, sands, also consider yourself tagged), and me. i... i seem like a rabbit.

movie: howl's moving castle. i am a big ghibli fan and this is one of my favorites-- aside from spirited away.

season: fall. we don't really have fall where we live, but i do love the concept of it. and the weather. oh if we only had fall.

character: crowley from good omens. if you see the state of my fangirl blog (@tsuntsunfangirl) then -- nuff said.

color: blue. this is a recurring color in my life. someone's eyes, the color of our batch in high school, the kind of color that fits me... this color haunts me.

hobby: sketching/drawing. honestly, i haven't done this for a while, but this was both a hobby and a skill i had growing up that temporarily turned into a profession. this is after all related to the course i took in college. i need to do sketching again.

book: good omens by terry prachett and neil gaiman. see "character" item above. nuff said.

song: "smile" by the royal concept. this has been haunting me for a few days now.

drink: cafe latte. as i'm watching my sugar, i do love coffee -- but i'm stuck with this drink. no sugar, of course.
