writing meme: ask me questions!

[curvasud]

All my fic are here. I'm not sure my collection is long, wide, or deep enough to merit any interest/questions, really, but I thought I'd put this out here in case anyone does have a question. Just ask. :)

I think it would be fun to talk about stories, but the usual memes are like, "What happens next?" "Tell me about Character A?" Which isn't so

I have a lot of questions to ask you but I'm afraid my English isn't good enough.
So, first of all, I just wanted to thank you for your writings because (it might me weird to you) they really helped me in one way or another: they made my day, they gave me hope when I needed it but, moreover, they gave me beauty. You (and pendules) are so gifted and you have to know this.

By the way, one of the things that attracted me most was the pairing Jon Alonso/Luca Leite. As you know, I'll always love K/S probably more than my own life (oh, well, kind of :D) and I always thought of writing Jordan/Luca because in my mind I wanted an happy ending for them (the happy ending their fathers didn't have). But when I read Luca/Jon I immediately fell in love with them because their relationship was more credible but at the same time it wasn't predictable. Your Catorce and pendules i've always been a dreamer made me smile and at the same time the second one had that melancholy that only K/S and X/S have

Can I second this? I mean, I think the way you wrote them is absolutely perfect - and obviously I drew a lot from that when I was writing them. But I was wondering what made you write them like that in the first place.

Oh, and I'd definitely love to know "what-happens-next", re. Catorce.

What happens next for Jon and Luca or what happens next in the 2024 universe? :P I'll probably answer a bit of both anyway, although I'm a little pooped out from the rambling below too (which answers your first question, I think

[pendules]

Ooh, excited to read your rambling, actually. XD

I like that a lot, because in my head, Jon and his dad do have a more complicated relationship or something - so I can see that happening. I like this a lot too: I imagine he was more like Jon when he was younger than he'd let on, even though I like to think that Jon is somehow more Stevie-esque than Xabi-esque which both scares and pleases his father.

And I think Jordan will tell his father to go claim it back if he wants it.

Oh. Yes. Definitely.

Hi! i was reading (loving) the 2024 verse again and I was wondering how did you initially conceive Jordan to be? Just like you portrayed him in 2024 or did he turn out differently than you originally intended him to be? I'm was also wondering what he thinks of Kaka-just the person, not Kaka-the-footballer or Kaka-the-love-of-my-father's-life?

Hi! Thank you so much for your question-I love it! I'd like to give you a detailed answer, so please give me a couple of days. I'm busy with work and classes during the week days, but I'll definitely reply to you this weekend. I look forward to it! :)

[the_curlyone]

Of course! I understand, i should have been prepping an experiment instead of reading this :)

Hello again! First of all, thank you so much for your question and your interest in 2024. Your comment made my week. :)

I've said this a couple of times in the past and it's still true, I think-2024 was the easiest fic I've ever written. It was conceived and produced in one sitting, which practically never happens for me. That said, Jordan came pretty naturally and I didn't really struggle with his voice. I imagined that he'd physically look enough like Sheva that Kaka would find his presence unconsciously welcoming, familial even, but not enough that Kaka would immediately recognise him. That idea allowed me to justify the comfortable conversation that they settle into and that, hopefully, showed some aspects of who they are
