wherein Liz is a tease

I am possibly a terrible person for signing up to participate in Ouroboros Mix when I knew I was having trouble concentrating in the particular way that fiction writing demands, but nonetheless, I signed up. And I have been beating my head against the story I wanted to remix ever since -- I had reams upon reams of world-building and backstory and thoughts on character interactions... and no actual story worth a damn.

So tonight I said screw it and looked at my remixee's other two offered stories and suddenly realized exactly how to remix one of them. It is going swimmingly so far, and you know the best part? The best part is that the original is a grandfathered AU (that is to say, it was not AU when it was written but canon caught up and went in a different direction), but when I am done with it, both the remix and by extension the original will be canon. Because the set-up of the original and the rules of canon permit, and the structure of my reformatting demands.

Also because I'm awesome.

But mostly because of structure. Structure is cool. :-)

In other news, the Vriska Among the Horrorterrors construction paper art proceeds apace. Tentacles are fun to draw. They are slightly less fun to cut out, and trace, and cut out again, but whatever, the finished effect will be worth it.

Then I have some subsidiary illustrations to make -- more cut-outs, woo -- and insert into the text in appropriate places, so you are not going to see this story section for another day or two, I think. Tomorrow and Friday are mostly for writing my remix, but Saturday is definitely an all-"Trollstuck" all the time day, assuming I haven't finished the pictures by then.

Man, art is so labor intensive compared to writing.
