2025 Writing Log, Part Five

rynling- I continued work on the second chapter of “The Last Green Knight,” a Zelda x Arthurian legend crossover fic that I’m writing for a pan-fandom big bang event (here). The Discord server is very chill and supportive, and sign-ups are open until February 7.
- I did a substantial edit of “Belladonna,” an original botanical horror story that I wrote for the server’s April “Hanahaki for Hanami” event (here).
- I also created an illustration of a moss-infested cat for this story. I’ll use this for the social media preview graphic when the time comes, but I went ahead and posted it on Tumblr (here).
- I finished my listicle about video game sewers, pitched it to Sidequest, and got the go-ahead to submit the manuscript. Based on my research, I'm given to understand that most people hate sewer levels, but hopefully I was able to explain why I find them so interesting.
- This week’s post on my book review blog (here) is about Strange Pictures, a horror mystery novel written by a mysterious masked YouTuber who creates viral creepypasta videos. Like the author’s videos, Strange Pictures has a strong DIY vibe, and I mean this in the best possible way. The book is very crunchy and very entertaining.
- I posted a silly comic about Echoes of Wisdom on Tumblr (here). Unfortunately, Zelda can’t actually summon the echoes of defeated bosses, but I think it would be neat if she could deploy an echo of Ganon. It’s always amusing to think about a 12yo girl unleashing an ancient eldritch monster so they can go out on a walk together.
This was yet another shit week on hell planet. I am not okay, but what can you do. If nothing else, the sun has finally started to set after 5pm, which is cause for celebration as far as I’m concerned.

(My problem with sewer levels is the sameyness and my inability to have a sense of direction. I feel like there's something potentially cool there but I just can't get past my own inadequacy.)

Date: 2025-02-03 06:54 pm (UTC)I was just having a conversation with a friend the other day about how a brown color palette is somehow "superior" for being "realistic" and like....have you looked outside, though. SO. MANY. COLORS.
