It was a long time coming and a bit more experimental for me— but a request from @i-want-my-iwtv of Louis suffering a trip with Lestat through the air~
#PERFECT JUST PERFECT
(Lestat loves the excuse of having Louis cling to him for dear life, and even though Louis finds the experience very disorienting and cold!, they both love the gorgeous view of the landscapes <3)
my storytelling final! or, that week i almost went blind cross-hatching!
it’s a couple weeks old at this point, but i’m still proud of it (all that cross-hatching…) even though looking back at it now i can see a ton of flaws or things i just could’ve done better. maybe i’ll redo it one day.
the page colors are kind of wonky because they’re photographs; i didn’t have a scanner big enough for the pages.
I’m trying to find this great graphic I saw ages ago about types of fanfic, where, say, the source text would be a continuous line, and an augmenting fanfic would be a line that takes off at at angle, or an AU would be a line separate from the canon line—does this ring a bell with anyone?
THIS. Is one of my favorite posts re: fanfic and I am so glad I found it again to reblog it here. Such accurate description of what fanfic is/seeks to achieve in its many forms. I’m sure someone out there is thinking it’s incomplete, and maybe that’s true, but I love this for what it explains anyway and so HERE IT IS.
I would add that Drabbles and Additions exist within canon, filling out interstices of the overall story.
And I also find this diagram creatively inspiring. If you’re stuck, you might find a way through by choosing a different route based on these diagrams.
“Judge me not for my stupidity.” —Lestat de Lioncourt.
“Judge me not for my stupidity,” I implored him. I told him again of my ordeal in the Gobi, of my strange conversations with David, and David’s vision in the Paris cafe. “I was in a state of desperation when I did this. You know why I did it. I don’t have to tell you. But now, it must be undone.”
