My day is…okay…I brought my notebook but not my pens, which is very annoying and I’ll remember that tomorrow. Also have a headache, which is…annoying…so I’m probably going to get an iced coffee and like. Bang my head against a desk if that doesn’t do the trick…

I worked a bit on an article I have due in a week.

Okay wellll last night I was working on the intro scene for the second chapter of…the fanfic of your fanfic (lm a o…literally just fell in love with it, needed to read more, so wrote it myself like. if only i could do this with some of my own originals~ fjskdkfslj) until I remembered I had to pack my backpack for work lololol….spoilers~:

Opens up with George and Anne at cafe, we find out his job and are re-reminded of her job (at Bloomsbury publishing….which meeeans a very significant book will be published soon on the timeline! It being January 1997….*eyes emoji*) and we find out Anne has a date…coming up….. ahem. 

I’ll leave the rest a surprise but I have it more or less outlined in notes (my outlines should be neater as an aside they’re more like….lines of dialogue + nebulous scene ideas with a lot of ‘???’ and arrows and ‘???’ on arrows…going different directions…because sometimes we just can’t decide shshsh).

And last night I was rereading comments on my works (and yours shshshh I was feeling nostalgic about WFTH and you’re so good at correspondence, much better than I am tbh…I get overwhelmed and just end up saying ‘Thanks!’) and you are so insightful?? Btw?? I was rereading certain comments you left on Whitehall and like … crying. 

Speaking of Whitehall, since I know it’s been an age, there’s a block and I’m not? It’s so frustrating because I do have SOME scenes written/sketched but they’re not ready yet for the timeline, I know what I was planning to do for the next chapter but keep getting blocked. 

I think…maybe? I just need to reread (or at least skim) and get myself reacquainted because…idk I feel that Whitehall just has a very specific energy. Like it’s not easily interchangeable with some of my other…works….even the H7/EoY one that’s in the same verse? On the same timeline? Is very different…..but I like to think, in my pretentious meta way (shshsh) that there’s a reason to that, that it’s sort of symbolic of how their marriage (since it takes place pre-marriage) changes the world, and their own IRL/historic marriage changed the world in very significant ways that they could have like…never imagined or anticipated. 

 HUGe spoilers for scenes to come, in no particular order: Charles and Anne (yes lmao I know!!), Katherine and Henry, Lizzy and Henry (again? yes, she’s mad at him and calls him out on things I plan for it to be … amazing, I won’t settle for anything less, but it’ll also be very emotional and tie into some other…concepts), Kitty Howard and Anne, Charles and Anna, Elizabeth Woodville and Henry (phone call), Elizabeth and Katherine (!! a sort of … confrontation of sorts, actually, she stumbles across a … thing), Charles and Henry, Charles is going to meet….someone he hasn’t met before. George will also meet someone he hasn’t met before. 

Ok, thank you for giving me the opportunity!! I love you and getting asks from you ❤
