✨spin the wheel writing game✨

spin two wheels to create a new scenario to write something about -- could be serious, wacky, or intriguing!

spin this wheel to find out who your protagonist(s) is/are

spin this wheel second to find out what they're trying to do/what situation they've been thrown into

spin the first wheel again to find out who the antagonist/love interest/deuteragonist(s) is/are

reblog this with the combination you got, and your immediate first thoughts on this plotline/scenario, or even share a quick drabble or potential first lines for the piece (either as a reblog or in the tags)

Oooohhhh rubbing my hands together so hard... You're getting Both fics >:D

....Putting it below a cut because this is looking like it's gonna be long af

What things did you research for this fic?

For BtB: ....This is my research rabbit trail fic /aff. I've researched everything from the specific places I have the Amis headed to (though I've been to all of them, some I haven't been in years, so I needed a refresher), and there was a LOT of googling "Did (insert item) exist in 1832" throughout here... I thought I was DONE with that, but alas. I am not, according to the fic...

But yeah, this one has a lot of random research, lots of rabbit trails, a few virtual tours... The Painters Colic digression (sorry Feuilly), how humid it is in Texas... HERNANI (my favorite so far), and that's just a chip off the block, I should have kept a list of things I've researched so far XD

For IWJFaF: Urinary incontinence. Even though I have it myself, and am writing it mostly from that perspective, I wanted to do more research anyhow, just because I could, since its something that has a wide variety of causes and manifests differently in everyone who has it... And I'm STILL worried about getting something blatantly wrong... Even though I literally Have It Myself (anxiety loves me/sarcasm)

Share a snippet of your favorite dialogue.

For BtB: From Combeferre discovering modern flushing toilets... He is. Way Too Excited about this. 😭😭😭

“Ferre, you’ve been in there for fifteen minutes.” Joly leaned on the stall door, sighing as he heard the toilet flush for the... Well, at this point, he’d lost count. “Surely you’re finished by now?” “Let me pull the lever one more time,” Combeferre replied, clearly delighted. “Joly, this is a magnificent invention! Whatever you drop in it disappears when you push the lever down!” “Combeferre, what have you been putting in the strange modern privy?” Joly demanded, eyes widening in horror as he grasped what his friend was doing.  “Just this paper in here.” Combeferre explained, unlatching the stall door as he mused to himself. “I wonder if one of my trouser buttons would go down, there’s one loose enough I could pry it off...” “You keep all the buttons on your trousers where they are,”

From IWJFaF: It's probably gotta be this one, though Combeferre having a scale for Enjolras and Cosette's bickerings has to be a very close second lol

“What are you guys doing in here?” Cosette poked her head into the bathroom, only to be greeted by three equally guilty faces. “Do I need to go get Papa?” “No, no of course not,” Enjolras gave her his most charming smile. She gave him an incredulous look in return, not falling for it for a second.  “Sebastien.”  “Euphrasie.”  “I’m getting Papa if you don’t tell me what you’re getting up to,” Cosette crossed her arms firmly. 

Share a snippet of your favorite imagery.

For BtB: It's probably got to be Combeferre waking up in modern day (I'm not good with imagery unfortunately, so this is the best I've got)

As it was, the sky was the first thing the guide saw upon waking once more, and he quickly pulled himself up, pressing a hand to the wall to steady himself as the world spun on its axis.  He’d gotten up too quickly, and he knew it. But how else was he to see where he was? This was new to him, and he wanted to figure it out. “ Ah, barricades are not good for the back, it appears.” Combeferre muttered to himself as he rubbed the offending body part, catching a glimpse of a shoe near a dumpster. Hm. I’ve never seen one like that before. He mused, picking it up to examine.  Setting it aside, he calmly decided he must find a newspaper. Those carried the date of the day, something that would be helpful to know. He strongly suspected that the year was no longer 1832. Stepping out onto a parking lot nearly confirmed his suspicions, and it delighted him. Those are certainly not carriages.

From IWJFaF: The part where Joly arrives at Valjean's house after running away from home

The sight that greeted Valjean when he opened the door a few minutes later was a shocking one. Joly stood there sobbing, shaking from exhaustion, and covered in blood from his fall. The events of the night had worn heavily on him, and he was near collapsing. “Joly, my goodness,” Was all he managed to get out of his mouth before the boy was launching himself into his arms, clinging tightly to him. “What happened?” “I- I don’t want to stay at my house anymore.” Joly whispered burying his face in his chest. “I didn’t know where else to go, so I came here.”

Is there any moment in your fic that makes you go crazy, even if it's not the most well-written?

From BtB: I think my favorite one is one that I haven't posted yet, where the first night after they arrive in the 21st century, Joly and Combeferre get to have a little talk, because Joly's blaming himself for Bossuet's death, even though there was nothing he could do really. And Combeferre finally starts processing the fact that all their friends are dead, and there's really no way to know if they're going through the same thing as them or not.

From IWJFaF: ....Probably any of the sibling shenanigans between Enjolras and Cosette. (I really want to say the scene where Valjean has to pick up all three of his kids from school, but I don't know if that'll be in this fic, or a sequel yet lol), but writing the shenanigans, ESPECIALLY the one where they've both been eavesdropping, and immediately try to convince Joly not to tattle on them to Valjean... Joly has absolutely no idea what to do with this, poor guy

What are some fandom-specific selling points you think would entice other fans the most?

Oh shit this is a hard one

For BtB: Probably that Everyone Lives, No one Dies (sorta), Poetry Smash getting to be weird af, some Barricade action, etc... I don't know what fandom specific selling points are 😭😭😭

For IWJFaF: ......Weird crack au? :D I mean, Enjolysette siblings is DEFINITELY a crack au lol (obligatory @syrupsyche mention, since she helped come up with this chaotic idea), and Valjean just getting to be happy(ish) and take care of his kiddos (He's collecting them in this one I SWEAR)

Are you considering a continuation, and if so, do you already have any ideas for how it would go?

For BtB: YES. I already have a sequel where Marius and Cosette have a second wedding, where all their friends and family get to be there, and I'm trying so hard not to start it until I've finished the fic, because it'll have a few big spoilers for what's coming up in BtB XD... I also have a few spin off one shot ideas set in the universe, so I really need to work on writing everything lol

For IWJFaF: ....This one already has a spin off oneshot, and another in my files waiting to be posted for an event in July. And, the more I think about it, the more I'm pretty sure that the fic I'm working on now is going to just be the first in a series of shorter fics and oneshots, because my next plot point after this one is like... Two Years after where I'm at now, and that is a Long Time Skip XD

I also just have so much written for it that I'd love to post, but it would all be so far in the future that I can't right now if I want it to be in this particular fic. So yeah, this is probably going to be a prequel/first part of the IWJFaF verse XD

I KNOW YOU'VE TOLD ME ABOUT HIM BUT I LOVE HIM :D

Askjlfahldhjdgkhgaskjjdsk Poor Alexi having to fight for affection (that he's probably not going to get) from Delphine....

Awwwww Eugene and Delphine <3 I love them

NOT ALEXI BEING JEALOUS OF THE AXE

CAN I HEAR ABOUT EUGENE :D

I'VE TOLD YOU ABOUT HIM BEFORE!!!!

In regards to Eugéne, Alexi, and Delphine (bc I haven't talked much about the dynamic there yet)

Eugéne hides more of his affectionate tendencies directed at Delphine when around other people, but he really does not give a fuck about Alexi so he doesn't hide it around him. He touches her, he holds her, he cleans her without needing to, etc, and it drives Alexi insane because he knows he's intruding on Eugéne's marriage already. He doesn't know how little Eugéne really cares for him (because he's a self centered prick) but he knows he's second to his wife. So an axe on top of that? Watching Eugéne tune him out to take care of his axe? Watching Eugéne care for her so tenderly, the way he wants Eugéne to love him? If Delphine was a person he would kill her

OOOOOO A SURGEON :D

He sounds fucked up and I am squeezing him /pos

BENJAMIN TOO :D I don't think I've heard anything about him yet

Yeah I've been pretty quiet about him all things considered!!

Benjamin Wright is my British surgeon OC for Guts & Blackpowder. He's the author of my current fic, Journal of a British Surgeon (which I often refer to as simply Journal)

He ships off to Spain in 1809 and takes part in the Peninsular War up until 1813, when the Blight begins to spread into Spain and Portugal. After the Siege of San Sebastian he breaks off from the military to set up an operation in a smaller city in Spain to research the Blight. It's very ethical he promises.

His overarching story is that he wants to do the right thing, and is researching the Blight to ultimately find a cure. Once he starts researching, his journal essentially turns into a logbook of his research to turn into more professional work later. He works up until 1815, and over those two years he slowly loses sight of his goal and progressively treats his subjects worse and worse. He's still trying to find a cure, but his methods of that degrade to the point he goes from only working on corpses in 1813 to preforming vivisections in 1815.

Benjamin really only exists for Journal, and I absolutely will not do anything with him outside of it. I've put a lot of thought into it, and he doesn't work as a character outside of being the author of Journal. He exists as a tool of a narrative rather than a narrative himself. I have some shitpost doodles of him, but he will not exist in any other fic.
