edenfallingIt is Ladystuck reveal day! I wrote three fics this year: my assignment, a pinch hit, and a treat. I will discuss each in a separate post.
-----
Raiders of the Deep Caverns: Wherein Aradia Megido, intrepid explorer and amateur archaeologist, discovers an abandoned brooding cavern complex and invites her hatefriends Terezi Pyrope and Vriska Serket to assist in the exploration of its wild and dangerous depths. Featuring six pesterlogs, three dialogue-only passages, four third-person limited POV sections, a brief beach interlude, a tenuous framing device, and worldbuilding that flies right over the various protagonists' heads and horns. (6,300 words)

lyricalIcarus in response to the prompt: Scourge Sisters! I wonder about their friendship with Aradia because they are all badasses. Which is self-evidently true, so I wanted to write a story that showcased them being badass. I also wanted to write about them being friends, which is why I avoided writing about a Flarp match.
This is a very, hmm, structured story, for lack of a better word. There's a defined rhythm to the order and type of scenes -- traditional narrative from one character's POV, three conversations (whether chatlog or traditional dialogue), narrative passage, three conversations, narrative passage, three conversations, narrative passage. That wasn't intentional at the outset. I jumped straight into writing the first chatlog, between Aradia and Terezi, backtracked to write the opening scene with Aradia and the waterfall, decided I should write two more chatlogs to show the other pair interactions, and somewhere in the process of the Terezi-Vriska or Vriska-Aradia chatlogs, the structure appeared full-blown in my mind. Then it was just a question of writing very fast, and trying to make sure the dialogue-only passages were clear, both in the sense of who was saying which lines, and the more general sense of setting and action.
Overall, this was a very fun story to write, and I hope it's enjoyable to read. *grin*
