Sep. 5th, 2019 07:42 pmI've been in a creative funk today, and while I probably don't have enough time this evening to Sit Down and Make Something Happen, I'm hoping that by listing some potential ideas. (And if people want to throw out prompts or suggestions or 'hey, that sounds real neat!' that would be much appreciated.)
- and celebrate the irony: a sad/angsty/heavy-with-Doom Maeglin/Celebrimbor long(?) fic. The main idea behind it is that there are some really common versions of Celebrimbor and Maeglin in the fandom-- that aren't necessarily that supported by canon. And I want to mess with them. A grumpy Celebrimbor, who burns with restrained ambition and who finds a kindred spirit in Maeglin, is very confused (and almost outraged) by the sudden change in Maeglin's priorities. Maeglin has suddenly become a party animal and socialite (and is dealing with 'trauma, what trauma? why are you pointing at me' and 'live for tonight, for tomorrow we may die (and i'm the only one who knows this)' via getting very, very drunk.)
- I should really write something about Gwindor. I should really have something more specific, but I don't. I'm really interested in his relationship with Finduilas, especially after he returns to Nargothrond. (I have a headcanon-- they mourned for eachother. Especially Finduilas-- she thought he was dead. And when they suddenly show up in each other's lives again, they don't know how to deal with that gracefully. And they also have to mourn for each other again, mourn for what could have been and now cannot ever be again, the Gwindor who died in Angband and is arguably not the same Gwindor as the one in Nargothrond right now.) I'm also interested in the way he's changed before he returns, and the way Nargothrond changes with Túrin in it, and all the ~stuff~ surrounding that.
- Tragic-and-doomed Tar Miriel/Female Bodyguard Who Is Also A King's Man. Really ill advised affairs! Philosophical differences to explore, that also only increase the romantic tension! The Doom that is constantly hanging over late Númenor. I have more of an idea for this than for any Gwindor fic, but it's kind of inchoate.
- Choo-choo, all aboard the Treat Train! I'm in multiple exchanges. Femslash Ex is about to happen (even if I don't plan on participating). If I'm stuck for ideas, I can go make things for people. (Downside: I have to find things other people will like, and then do them.)
- I'm sure I can turn all these feelings about Zevran into something. Probably something related to his time with the Crows. Though ZevWarden is always fun, depending on the Warden. But there's so much room to play around with his time in the Crows.
- Visual art is... a thing I can do. A thing I want to do. I just don't really have ideas. (The closest I have to ideas are "Gwindor? ...Gwindor with horses?" and "...self portraits? self portraits with HATCHING.") (If you have a prompt for art-- this is a good time, is all I'm saying.)
