let's talk about me some more

[fahye]

Meme!

If there is any question you would like to ask me about any one of my fics, then go ahead! What I meant by a particular line, why I chose that characterisation, what I was listening to as I wrote, what crack I was taking and where you can get some ... anything. Anything you might like to know about how I wrote a fic, I shall do my best to answer.

I like this sort of thing, it makes me actually think about my method.

Speaking of writing - I am planning to get started on Xmas fics very soon, so if you haven't requested one than this is your last chance! Nny - *pokepokepoke* - you made up your mind yet, dearie?

I am deeply in love with Camille (Ji! Art! You made me name my iPod something ridiculous and I don't know why! All your fault! However, the deed is done. Camille he shall ever be. Maybe she. WowIhaveagenderfluidiPod.) but it looks to be a high-maintenance relationship. The amount of time I have spend making iTunes recognise and organise all my music is sodding ridiculous.

Apple must put really tiny imps inside its headphones to make the sound all clear and sparkly <3

I don't feel like I should be turning eighteen in three weeks. Eighteen is grown up.

I don't want to ask for christmas fics because I can't reciprocate!

*whines*

Silly. I don't offer to write for people because I expect them to give me something in return. It's good for my craft, and I love gifting people with fic.

*coaxes*

I don't want to be grown up either. *whimper*

Okay! Morningstar- where'd the idea originally come from, and why did you choose Moriel to be Lucifer's lover?

[fahye.livejournal.com]

I think the idea was born after watching Dogma for the billionth time - Loki refers to the devil as the Morningstar once, in passing, and the name caught my fancy. I also liked the idea of religion being a shield and a conspiracy, almost, for something that happened a long time ago (which is what The Da Vinci Code is based on, incidentally, but I think this was plotted out before I read that). I also saw a huge amount of room for playing around - the idea of a war in heaven, of an entire race divided, was at once scarily huge and very attractive. I've done a little bit of digging to find references to particular angels and their roles in the Rebellion, though I'll do more when I start to write it in earnest. Basically I wanted to play around with the idea of Lucifer as a hero, fighting for the rights of humans against an angel gone corrupt with the power of the Throne, and his ultimate punishment being damnation in the annals of human religion. Not a particularly uplifting ending.

As for Moriel... I don't think it was based around what he stands for as an angel (I think I've forgotten what that IS) but I wanted a Fallen angel who was fairly nondescript as an established name so that I could create his character from scratch. Personality-wise, I wanted someone who was very emotional and off-balance to set next to Lucifer, who is pretty much the perfect reluctant leader but sadly lacking in the ability to communicate his emotions. Mori is mercurial, he says and expresses the things that Lucifer won't, and that helps the Morningstar's character journey. It's a bit disturbing, but Lucifer is in love with him because he's the parts of his own personality that are missing. And because he personifies the loyalty and idealism that he is fighting for.

Good answer. ^^ Mori is the Fallen of Wind and... I think of invisibility? He gets called the phantom if I remember the angel dictionary correctly.

Now you've done it. Your iPod will be a h0r. *g*

18 is not grown up. I'm 19 and still not grown up.

Phill: I'm nearly 21 and I'm not grown up.

So no pressure to grow up! :D

Incidentally, yeah, could you manage to drop the wings back around sometime before Tuesday? I'll probably be home this time and stuff. With extra people, no less. Yay?

[fahye.livejournal.com]

Er...would Tuesday morning be all right? Or do I need to drop them around tomorrow? I don't have huge amounts of time, for some reason. Busy holidays >.

[not-in-denial.livejournal.com]

Tuesday morning is fine. ^_^ (Probably after ten so we don't eat your brains.)

I know you took the idea of Mordred/Galahad from me, but what made you take them in the direction that you did? *is still figuring out her own M/G's relationship*

[fahye.livejournal.com]

Er. *attempts valiantly to remember*

I'm really not sure, the Mordred in my head has always been a careless, abusive bastard. But I did want to explore the idea of an unhealthy relationship that does, nevertheless, fulfil the needs of both people. My Galahad was not actually meant to be as screwed up as he is in the RP...I may yet not exaggerate his mental fuckedupedness to the extent that I do when playing him.

I liked the idea of one party being in love from the very beginning, and the other taking years to work it out, but they never stop sleeping together. And they've become one of my favourite pairings to work with, because there is so much you can do, so much conflict, so much psychology, inherent in their situation.
