Does anyone else do ridiculous fan-casting sometimes and not even really know why? I don’t think I’ve mentioned it on here before. I seem to recall typing up a post but I think I deleted it as I was embarrassed. However, then they cast 6ft tall Giles to play Gideon and maybe my fan-casting for a potential Rumple and Belle son wasn’t quite so ridiculous. So I’m just going to admit to something now.

For some reason best known to my subconscious, when I was plotting a fic that had a grown-up Rumbelle son (it was my first Once fanfic idea actually) I was trying to picture him in my head and I wound up casting Jason Momoa. Why? Well I’ve only seen him in Stargate: Atlantis and he wasn’t so beefed up back then, he was kinda lean and lanky which reminded me of Rumple’s build, but he was still solid more like Neal.

Then I saw this picture and that just reminded me even more of Neal with the overcoat and scarf and everything. Plus he has a really warm smile which is just so Rumple and Belle, and I don’t know, it just felt right to me and you are all probably reading this and thinking I’m utterly crazy.

Then pretty soon after I first joined tumblr, this picture was reblogged onto my dash and I nearly fell off my chair.

That looked like two brothers just messing around. I was actually a little creeped out by that because I’d had no idea up until then that the actors even knew one another.

Anyway, I just saw Raven’s post about John Cena and I thought I might admit to a little fancasting of my own 🙂

I need to enlist somebody to beat me over the head.

Self I don’t care how much the AU wish world is making you want to write “Rule Number Three” your Enchanted Forest Rumbelle/Swanfire AU, you are not allowed! Right now the priority is RSS and Painting Layers of Love. Then you need to finish all your other WIP’s before starting anything new.

Repeat after me self *dangerous tone* “before starting anything new.”

I’m actually really pleased the hiatus is as long as normal. I need the three months to get some fics finished.

Mr. Gold can be a strong motivator… in many ways.

Indeed he can. 

@still-searching47, I feel your pain, my dear. *gets out cheerleading pom poms* You can do it! 

@rowofstars I’m jealous of your gif finding skills, that is awesome!

Also, thank you both. Gold is definitely a good motivator heh and yeah most things will get written eventually. It’s just a matter of butt in chair, hands on keys and focusing. It’s the last part, the focusing that I struggle with sometimes but I’m loads better than I used to be, so practice, practice 🙂

Do you have a prompt doc or folder? Just file it away. #Focus

Ah the elusive focus heh 🙂 Yeah I do have a doc and it has … I’ve lost count of how many ideas on it. Probably more than I’ll ever manage to write because I generate new ideas quicker than I can write them. Actually this idea has been on my list for a very long time. It was the second idea I ever had for Once fanfic.

What’s happened is that in the six months I’ve been writing fanfic for Once, it’s slid down the priority list as new ideas came in that took precedence. This wishworld Enchanted Forest AU, has just sparked the idea again and made it zoom to the top of the pile.

I did think that after I finished my WIP’s my next fanfic would be GoldenLace Bonnie and Clyde (I was going to do that for this months Monthly Rumbelling smut prompt but I don’t think I’ll have time), or the Hustle/Leverage AU (just because I do love this idea), but now I’m pretty certain it’s going to be the Enchanted Forest Rumbelle/Swanfire AU.

This is why I’m thankful for the hiatus. A good chunk of my words last month went on Fix-it fics because I’d watch episodes and then need to fix them.

Do we know if Belle is in the Wish World? Has anyone asked Adam on twitter, even if it’s just a mention?

I’ve heard nothing about Belle being in the wish world or not. Adam answered a question about why Zelena wasn’t in the wish world the other day and his response was “who says she’s not” so I wouldn’t expect him to be any clearer on Belle than that. I imagine she’ll get a mention or a short cameo. I doubt she has much of a role in the wish world though just because she’s not particularly important to Emma or Regina who the wish world revolves around. 

Regina and Emma are gonna need Rumple’s help to get home, almost certainly. And for that they’re gonna have to strike a deal. I know this is likely to NEVER EVER happen but I like the idea of Regina bargaining with the information that possibly other!Regina has Belle sequestered away somewhere.

Oooh she makes a deal with the information that Belle isn’t dead.

And we get a final shot of Rumple finding 50 year old Belle alone in a cell somewhere. Locked up for 30 years again but this time, time was moving. 

Or she got released, went home, married some rando and had a bunch of kids and Rumple just looks on sadly. 

How fucking dare you, Raven…

I have a happier speculation. Rumple was imprisoned under Regina’s palace not under Snow and Charmings. So who says he’s been locked up for 30 years? I mean I know wish world doesn’t have to have any logic, or reasoning for why things happened. However, in reality nothing would have kept Rumple from Bae, and he wouldn’t have had a ‘magic bean’ just laying around.

So maybe Snow and Charming made a deal with him. We will give you “anything” if you give us something to defeat the EQ. Rumple would have been all “a deal only works if there is two interested parties, and the EQ being defeated doesn’t suit me.” – maybe he says why, like “ok irritating royals, I will grant your fondest desire for one magic bean” or something. Anyway, upshot is Rumple got Bae back to the EF, the EQ was banished and all was well. Rumple never wanted Cinderella’s baby anyway so no reason to lock him up.

Which means that Rumple and Belle could have been happy together for years, before something happened (perhaps Bae’s death) that meant Rumple was imprisoned under the EQ’s palace.

WIP meme: police

Posted on by

*flaps hands excitedly* I’ve never had anyone send the WIP meme for me before! 🙂 I thought that this was a really random word and I wouldn’t have it and then I remembered Nightwalkers. It appears 6x in that document.

——————

In fact the entire station smelled more like an office building or a school, than
a police station.

She glanced out the window and saw Neal getting police cordon tape out of the trunk
of the second cruiser.

“They can handle fingerprints and things like that, but they’ll probably package up
the samples and send them to the main police lab in Boston.”

“Whatever you spend, I will donate the same amount to the police benevolent fund.”

Plus, she remembered Gold’s promise to donate the same amount to the police
benevolent fund to cure her reluctance. It was an absurd amount of money for a
private citizen to donate to a police operation.

I discovered you have a “ask the writer” tag and OMG, there are a lot of beautiful questions in there! You’re really clever and organized! Anyway, I really really liked this one: which of your fics would you like to see turned into a movie the most?

Posted on by

Haha awww thanks, although that tag is very self-serving because it sort of exists in the hope people will use it. Plus I like to send everyone I notice who is doing TMI Tuesday a question, and quite often I get stuck, so tag to the rescue with questions 🙂

Anyway, wow what a question! Let me think. To be honest (shameful confession here) aside from fanfic I don’t read that much but I do watch a fair bit of TV. So I tend to write and visualize what I’m writing as a TV episode or a movie, and then it’s just a matter of putting what’s in my head on paper. I don’t obviously see everything, I just get flashes of certain scenes, and some images are more vivid than others.

Between Two Fires – was sort of a science-fiction/espionage mashup which I love, and hope to write more of that verse one day. That was quite visually strong. The other fic that comes to mind as being very visually striking is The Beauty and the Tragedy.

Out of the two of them, I think I would go with Between Two Fires, purely because it had so many things in that I love. That fic was a real guilty pleasure. Sci-fi is probably my favorite genre these days, but several years ago it was espionage, and bringing the two together – well I had fun 🙂 Heh I’m smiling now, just picturing it.

I’ve had some absolutely amazing feedback on Chapter Seven of Painting Layers of Love and I’m going to do a spot of revision. So if you’ve already read it, I’m going to be reblogging the changed version later. It’s not going to change the events of the chapter, but hopefully it will make everything make more sense and fix some characterization issues.

Ask me anything about my fics, ask my characters anything. You can send me a word and if it’s in my WIP doc then I’ll post a teaser snippet. I accept prompts for any of my existing verses.

This week I posted:
– Chapter Seven of Painting Layers of Love

Masterlist

You could also ask me a question off any of these lists.

I could use a distraction today guys, so feel free to go nuts 🙂

10 Questions

Posted on by

Thanks @of-princes-and-savages for the tag. Hehe Bumblr – love it! Although with how it keeps not loading gifs properly (grrrrr) I’m definitely inclined to agree 🙂

Last movie I watched: I don’t know if I can remember, I don’t watch movies that often. You know it might have been Ravenous on the stream.

Last song I listened to: “Should I stay or should I go” – The Clash.

Last show I watched: The Grand Tour.

Last book I read: Does fanfic count? Otherwise no real clue. I’m terrible at remembering to read. It was probably one of the Stargate TV-tie in books, I like those.

Last thing I ate: Breakfast! Raspberry and vanilla yogurt, and crunchy nut cornflakes (in separate bowls).

If I could be anywhere I wanted to be right now: I’m at home in my room, so perfect place really.

When would I time travel to: Definitely the future, I want a spaceship like one of those puddle jumpers from Stargate: Atlantis.

First thing I’d do with lottery money: Depends how much I won but I’d probably buy a house, or lots of houses. Long-term property is one of the safest investments around as it doesn’t depreciate in value much. It can also provide an income from rental.

Character I would hang out with for a day: Oh tough one. All the characters I really admire would be fed up with me after about two seconds. However, I suppose the character I would like to meet the most is Samantha Carter. Maybe she’d have some good life tips 🙂

Time right now: 9:50am.

Tagging: Oh I’m too scared to tag, but anyone can do it who wants to that reads this, because it means you, I just don’t like to bother you.
