i am like. 3 paragraphs away from the next chapter of my silly political comedy fic but it is giving me existential crisis like who let me have so much creative authority over my own fic. what do next.

#like if i continue with the plan it may change the tone of the fic irreparably #but if i Don't change the plan it will also have Consequences for the tone of it #but also i am no where near intelligent or educated enough to write what i want to write #but also if i put the research groundwork in then i Know it will do the aformentioned irreparable change #sigh. #this one specific letter is so so so so dicey but im not skilled enough to write it in the way that will make it Work #its like. the letter is Meant to be manipulative. it's meant to make your eyebrows raise. its supposed to come across at A Bad Look #bc if it was said aloud it would be bad!! it would be poor behaviour!! its in a private letter that is exposed only to the reader!! #bc thats just fucking politics. thats how it is!!! #however im not good enough at writing to do it effectively. like if it doesnt work it's just going to look flat hamfisted #and like i author endorse it #which like. no! thats why im writing this fic! because there's no textual canon outcome in my fandom that is genuine democratic government!! #and i thought it would be funny to write the emails getting sent around a government trying its level best to be democratic #when they are systemically functionally incapable of being so!!! #unfortunately thats a bit fucking dissonant with the idea of lighthearted comedy. #which i suppose is like. the point. #ok ive changed the bit slightly and simply added in a simply wonderful reference to a wilde character name/railway company im happy again
