u alive?

The answer to this is yes, and also simultaneously a loud resounding no.

Im sorry that I've been absent, but I hope to be able to post something here soon to try and explain some things and what I plan to do with my stories.

(If anyone is actually interested at all anymore in this odd little vacuum of space haha)

[calloniel]

I hope everyone out there is doing okay. I hope you all have somewhere safe to go, something warm to eat, and some good thing to make you smile.

I'm feeling some ode to sleep rewrite vibes if anyone wants to check them :p I'm just brain storming so hit me up if you got ideas or feel like being my sound board haha

[calloniel]

i know an engineer-type dude who said fiction bored him, because fiction is mostly-formulaic and tropey, and you can generally guess what’s gonna happen next, and yada yada

so his solution for this problem was… to solely read serial web novels in languages that (1) he did not speak, and (2) for which there was no actual translation, fan or otherwise

apparently, the combined forces of “trying to figure out WTF is going on via the power of Google Translate" + “cultural differences in storytelling conventions” + “the inherent randomness of where the hell amateur authors are gonna take their plots”—those all mashed up to make stories that were unpredictable enough to keep him guessing all the time

then he described to me this totally batshit-sounding Hungarian story he’d been obsessively reading once a week for years

and god i think about him all the time.  like.  that is the most wild way to process fiction that i have ever heard of, but also, i’ve gotta admire the sheer chaos energy of it

I have a question about ode to sleep 😊 what major difference in the rewrite do you think will matter the most in the long run? Until the end of the story? I‘m super pumped to read it!! I love when authors and artists show difference in creating art, it’s like watching a person grow up and mature~

Yes! A question!! Thank you!

I have two big changes in mind for the rewrite, but both are still being heavily debated due to the big changes it would cause. It would be the same characters, but a different story almost, and I’m not sure how fans would feel about that?

Essentially I’m debating on whether or not Toki would have knowledge of the sequel aka :re and have the story essentially ‘reset’ with Toki arriving there from 2020 or our current time period. A lot of intimate knowledge to make things even more overwhelming and confusing for our protagonist lol.

I’m also debating other aspects, such as involving more people from the first Toki’s life into the story, friends wondering about her, as well as her going out and experiencing a world full of ghouls vs the more strict Toki/Canon Characters interactions, if that makes sense? 

I don’t want to give away too much, but I’m definitely on the fence about how much of this is going to be a rewrite and how much of it will be more like a reboot. I would love some opinions from you guys! Do you have anything specific that you are kind of hoping for? Anything you think would be fun or improve the story? I’m always down for critique or suggestions :3
