[fic] On a Transparent Belt of Ether 1/4

Title: On a Transparent Belt of Ether
Rating: 14
Pairings: Caspian/Edmund
Genre: Romance, drama
Wordcount: 22k
Warnings: none
Disclaimer: Not mine.
Summary: Edmund the Just made his kingship telling people the right things at the right time. The night before Caspian’s coronation Edmund tells the anxious prince the right thing. It is only later, on board the Dawn Treader that he realises just what his words achieved.

Author's Note: On the whole the movie is best viewed as “the epic love story of Edmund and Caspian,” otherwise it may not be the most formulaic thing committed to film, but it’s certainly close.

Chapter breaks may seem a little awkward - I never planned for chapters. It was supposed to be ten pages, tops.

( There was a nervous thrumming in the air, as though the land and the castle hadn’t yet seen past the excitement of the battle. )

( Edmund felt for poor Eustace, and yet he resented him a little, irrationally. )

Thoughts on writing.

Well, having finished a longish fic, I have thoughts to share, about general writing and fanfic in particular. As usual, it is rather convoluted.

( So, let's start at the beginning. My writing process goes roughly like this: )

The point of the above is: stories, evenespecially sweet widdle one-shots, do not exist in a vacuum. Even if they are a sweet one-shot, they must have background and history and a bloody universe to back them up. A fic may not have substance (meh, plot. Who needs it?), but what it must have is background. In crazy metaphor land, a novel is a landscape, and a ficcy is a shrub. You want the shrub to look like it belongs in the landscape, you better water it properly, provide temperature and humidity and sunlight appropriate for the climate, and then rest assured that no one will appreciate the work that went into it.

On to recent endeavours, namely this Narnia fic that I have been writing. Indubitably, it was cute, when conceived. It had wine and stars and a tower and general cuteness.

Then arrived the continuation, and with it retroactive character development. Thankfully, it still holds together, better still, it makes even more sense now, so hey, who am I to complain?

Except with the retroactive character development I now have a plot on my hands and no ending in sight. Ploughing on bravely, there's an outline and everything and ZOMG, it still works! Even better than that - the source material is falling in line beautifully, because all of sudden it all makes sense! A conspiracy is afoot and it is biblical! Buahahahaha!

In other news, read The Graveyard Book (Neil Gaiman) on the train. It is awesome.
