its so scary to put yourself out there but a SINGLE message saying "hi i loved what you made it touched me in some way" makes it all worth it 10000%

[honesttoblogjuno]

hello friends! I am thrilled to say that my thesis was passed today (without revisions, might I add 😎), which means I can get back to my true writing passion, lesbian slashfic, soon! It also, shockingly, means I somehow now have a Masters degree (weird little 10 year old me is shaking in her boots)

I am travelling a bit in celebration, and then I will have lots of time to bring our girlies back for more campus chaos. Thank you all for your patience and see you sooooon 💕

Hey Juno!! I understand if you don’t feel the need to answer this, but since you write such good wenclair mysteries I was wondering if you are planning on watching Emma Myers new mystery show, A good girls guide to murder which comes out soon? As someone who read the series I am quite excited to see it on tv. Are you planning on watching it?

Hello! Hehe that is so sweet of you to say! I haven't read it, but I am planning to check the show out when it drops! I hope it will live up to your expectations as an enjoyer of the source material, I feel like adaptations have gotten pretty good these days, especially as series and not movies!

[honesttoblogjuno]

To say that I miss your writing would be an understatement…so I’ll just say I miss sorority Enid very much! Hope you are doing well Juno! 🫡

🫶🫶🫶 I miss writing the fic too, I’m working on my thesis right now but once that’s done I’m hoping I’ll be in a good state to try picking it back up! Many personal life revelations, crises & horrible soul crushing plot points have derailed things but it’s really wonderful knowing folks still think about the story and are cheering me on! 💕

[honesttoblogjuno]

Not sure about anyone else but I re-read all my favourite AO3 comments when I’ve had a rough day so if you’ve ever taken the time to write a deep, funny, or just kind comment, thank-you.

[honesttoblogjuno]

Just popping in to wish you well Juno!! I really do hope you are in a better place now, I’m glad you are taking some time for yourself. I hope this message finds you well and makes you smile, even if just a minuscule one. 🫡

You are so sweet ☺️🥰🫶 thank you!!

Admittedly things aren’t slaying in my corner at the moment, and I don’t know when I’ll be able to write again because I’m unfortunately putting that energy into getting daily tasks and schoolwork done 😞 but it is so sweet that you are thinking of me! Thank you!!

It did make me smile :) ❤️❤️

[honesttoblogjuno]

Hope your doing well Juno!! As someone who loves your writing process, what is your process for writing Enid? And how has that changed since concentrate and ask again to TSN (Greek tragedy being in the middle) ❤️

Hello anon!! 🫶 thank you for your question!! I’ll answer under the cut!

And p.s. for anyone reading, I unfortunately am going through some tough personal circumstances at the moment and so the upcoming chapter is delayed for a little while until I’m emotionally competent enough to write intimate moments without having a tiny mental breakdown! I appreciate all of your patience! I have fallen victim to the ao3 author curse of everything going wrong in my life at once 😌

I think that, for me, the best writing is the type that can draw from real life to bring some of those everyday spices to the flavour of the description! So, when I write, I try to write what I know, even in circumstances that are purely fictional.

In that way, I find I think more like Wednesday and my natural speech is more like Enid’s! So, I have a lot of fun writing her dialogue, because it feels more true to my actual use of language. When I’m writing her, I try to imagine what the lines sound like spoken out loud, and if they sound natural to what a teenage girl/bubbly adult woman would say, including filler and natural pauses. For her thought process and memories, I try to remember key moments that show her emotional range from the canon material so she doesn’t get flattened into a golden retriever character.

She’s had a tough life being what the Wednesday universe would call a medically complicated child, being the only daughter and youngest child, and having parents with high expectations for her. And, being a werewolf adds a social challenge to her childhood in a world full of non-outcasts as well. I try to keep those things in mind and ask myself WWED, and I usually come to the conclusion that she would try to spin the best out of what she has but know where to draw the line! She’s a much more complex character than I think fanon syndrome has eroded her into, so I like to add even more dimension where I can.

Overall, to keep the characterisations consistent, I try to find evidence in the canon material for every move I make. If there isn’t a direct parallel, I try to find evidence that can reasonably support an extrapolation. For example, we’ve seen Enid emotionally react with a pretty broad range of things. We’ve seen face-in-the-pillow exaggerated crying, humiliation-turned-anger violent outbursts, quiet disappointment, sting covered by deliberate optimism, justified last-straw frustration, and even vulnerable understated crying. I try to remember what age I’m writing her at for any given story and use those types of supporting evidence to age her up or down based on what I know about the process of emotional maturing!

Another key piece is pop culture and social media references. The fanfiction paradox is that every story for a contemporary setting has to take place in the present day because, even in TSN where they are like 12 years in the future from the canon, I can only make her modern by referencing what is current now. Even with that plot hole aside, it’s fun finding little ways to slip colloquialisms and references into her thoughts and dialogue!

When I wrote CAAG, I didn’t pay much attention to being super true to their characters. I wrote the story on a total whim over a couple of days mostly just for fun, so I wasn’t dedicated to making sure it was a truthful portrayal of them. I just used my gut instinct to write what I thought they might do and say.

But, for TSN, I dedicated a lot more time to really thinking through how they’d act in different circumstances outside the canon, and then how they’d act if they were adult women with years of emotional development under their belts. Where Wednesday might have made a sharp but terrifically mean comment or sabotaged something when the cover was leaked in the canon, maybe she would have gained the ability to just walk away. And, just maybe, she would have learned to attend to Enid’s feelings during that whole process too. That sort of thing!

For Greek Tragedy, I’m doing that same sort of thought process, but scaling them back down again. I’m most intimately familiar with a version of them that I invented for their aged-up story, so I’m trying to find a realistic middle ground! Having a beta reader has also been really helpful because if I’m not sure I’ve nailed it, I have a second opinion to weigh in!

I hope this answered your question, and thanks so much for sending it!!
