crantzYuletide reveals are up! So it's time to say what I wrote!
TITLE: The Lion of Caprona and it was for Minutia_R.
FANDOM: Chronicles of Chrestomanci - Diana Wynne Jones
SUMMARY: Janet and Julia are studying abroad (with Klartch along for part of the ride), but something is rotten in the state of Caprona.
Extra Notes: Wow! The comments I got on this were amazing. Anyway, this was my first f/f fic (not really a huge thing, I just write pairings so rarely it hadn't come up), and that was awesome because I really wanted to participate in the Misses Clause Challenge, but I was only gonna do it if that was what my recipient requested.
A lot of this fic was me trying to plot it out like a DWJ story, because I've been so sad about her passing away and wanted to give the characters more adventures. I was afraid to say it in the notes, though, but there were so many comments saying I managed it that my heart grew six sizes this Christmas. And most of those comments came right before I went to bed, so I slept grinning a lot. :D!
I wrote a Chrestomanci story last year too, Millions of Cats that was also crossed with Howl's Moving Castle because I'd offered both those fandoms and my recipient had asked for both those fandoms and I uh, wasn't sure which one I was assigned.
IN CONCLUSION: thinking of writing a prequel to the Lion of Caprona to add to a mention I made in it and also because I want to write Marianne Pinhoe and that's the first idea that came to me. I'm just like, do I tag it as a New Year's Resolution fic or what? I do not know!
Also, drawing with crayon to help figure out character details is amazingly soothing. I got the round thingie of 150 crayons and it is the best decision I made last year. Also, when I was writing out my concept notes (I will not be linking that, as I managed to call Tonino 'Tonio' for most of them), I doodled little characters above. I made the Klartch into my icon you can see above.
