lea_hazel: Typewriter (Basic: Writing)
I am reading Kameron Hurley's God's War and starting to near the end. Meanwhile I'm also contemplating my review, and what I should read next. I had planned to read Ann Leckie's Ancillary Justice which is already saved to my tablet, but after reading a few reviews and blog posts about Sorcerer to the Crown I'm very tempted to let it jump the queue.

Right now I'm actively working on three stories. One of them is my [community profile] femslashex gift. Another one is a Collar of the Damned mythological work that I've been writing on-and-off for what seems like years. Finally, I'm working on an original fantasy story that started from a great concept, but which I am struggling to develop. The dialogue is stalled. I am hoping that returning to the sources that inspired me will help me jump start it.

Some might say that working on too many projects simultaneously is bad form, and probably hurts my writing. What am I gonna tell you? This is the only way I know that works for me. All in all, though, I'd say September is progressing well, especially considering the holidays.

I've had several things sitting, waiting to be polished and posted, for months. So I rallied myself and excised my perfectionism and just up and posted them.



Also I am gradually going back and tagging all the CotD works "Original Work" -- as I should have done to begin with.

Collar of the Damned 
What is Collar of the Damned? 

Short answer: It's a made-up fandom for a source text that doesn't exist, a fictional epic fantasy trilogy followed by a sequel, written by two fictional authors. 

Longer answer:

Where to start?

The first (and by far the best) work I wrote for this project is the essay "
The Three Types of Fanfic in Collar of the Damned Fandom". It's a recursing meta essay that introduces the basic concepts of the universe, explores some popular meta concepts in gender and fandom, and intersperses this with references to fictional fans, works and communities. I enjoyed writing it a lot, and I really do think it's one of my best works as a fanfic writer. 

Works

All my works in this universe are posted to AO3, under the pseud
Ayabelle. Ayabelle is my pseud, and also a distinct fan persona. This is more obvious in meta essays than in fiction, which is written to be more in tone with my usual writing style.
