Remus who can’t swim because of his physical disabilities which mostly affect his legs and hips and back. Remus who, despite being a little scared of it, loves the ocean and water. Remus who feels bad every time he sees somebody swimming or a pool.
Sirius who is a very strong swimmer and puts Remus on his chest to just exist in the water with his feet off the bottom for once. Sirius who invests in pool floaties so Remus can swim on his own. Sirius who teaches Remus how to float on his back so he can be in the water without floaties.
Oh my God that’s so exciting! I’m adoring the Wolfstar P and P so will for sure read the book. That’s really impressive and fun, hope it goes well for you!
I have been thinking a lot about the love, effort and joy I have derived from writing my Wolfstar P&P fic, and I have decided that I want to adapt it into a piece of original fiction.
I have no allusions - this is queer trash romance with a regency twist.
BUT. It’s joyful for me to create, and I think fun for people to read (I mean, if they don’t find it resonates as original fiction as well as it does fanfic, that’s ok too! And understandable! But I’m curious to find out.)
I’ve been looking into the self-publishing sitch on Kindle/Amazon for a while now, and I think it’s time to take the plunge.
So, I’m planning on completing Pride and Prejudice over the next month and a half, and then adapting that work into original fiction.
I will rewrite, rework, polish and shine that motherfucker until it gives Casey McQuinston a run for her money (except, yanno, prolly not? But we can dream).
I also have a few original shorts of the gay romance and smut variety which I plan to self-publish in the near future as well.
I have even decided on my pen-name for all this romance and smut I’m apparently going to publish, P&P aside - Annwyn Vix. (Had to give a little nod to my fanfiction pen name, after all.)
I wanted to share this with you all because I have felt so incredibly lucky and supported by my loyal readership (small but mighty! And the comments absolutely go off).
You have lifted me up on days when I have felt sad, and reminded me that creativity and sharing and connecting with others is its own reward.
To that effect - I wanted to reach out to the artists who follow me and would be interested in partnering for the branding and cover design of this original work. I envision something quite colourful and minimalist. (You would be paid for your work, of course.)
I’m not going to get rich writing this (some money would be nice) but if I can build up a community on Patreon at all similar to what I have found here and on AO3, I will feel like I have really achieved a huge life goal of mine.
I love you all. Thank you for taking the time to read my work.
Stay tuned for the next chapter.
