non-fic

[rabenhorst]

Hi hi, fonulyn here! Since I'm tired and driveless, I stole a meme from Larky and thought I'd post it here instead of my personal journal since it's about writing. So it fits? Kinda. Anyhow! Here's how it works:

Give me a link to one of my fics, and I'll give you three details that didn't make it into the fic. Background canon, deleted scenes, or a look into the future. If you have a specific question you can ask it in your request, otherwise it'll be completely random.

Where to find them: Super Junior | SHINee | Resident Evil | Dir en grey

Anyone? :3

I also recently posted a WIP list in my journal if someone is interested to take a peek. I make no promises though! Fic you see on that list might not be finished in ages, or I might end up writing something else. But those are in progress right now :) You may also talk me into/out of things and chat about the fics anything with me. C'mon, I don't bite!

1. the story actually begun when I read this one science magazine and there was an article about bog mummies. (I also went to a museum with bog mummies!) I instantly wanted to write something but I knew it couldn't end happy in any way so my only option was to somehow include another lifetime, hence reincarnation! so the "220 AD Northern Europe" life is the first I planned. it was the second last I wrote, though.

2. Heechul wasn't supposed to be included in the fic at all but while I was planning/writing the different lives I realized I'd need something to tie them together. thus, heechul happened!

3. the flower boat life! I had a whole background for Kyuhyun. he's from a poor family and chose a career as a soldier to feed himself, even if he's not exactly the soldier-y type otherwise. in a way he's the one who doesn't get noticed much since he's not much of a show off or loud otherwise, but he's clever enough to stay alive and be somewhat good at what he does. after he meets Zhou Mi he gets back to his regular life and works as a soldier until he gets married and has a family years later, even though he can never really forget Zhou Mi.

4. the flower boats... they're floating brothels, although they did include some gambling and stuff like that. it came as a surprise to me that they apparently existed all the way until the 1900's! originally I read about them in Robert van Gulik's "The Chinese Lake Murders". I loved the idea of them essentially being a magical world within the real world. everything there was a big illusion. Zhou Mi works in one of the higher class boats, doesn't have to share a room with anyone and all. I didn't really have a real backstory for him (her?) since I knew he was going to be this mysterious character, in a way. I wanted to make Kyuhyun go back to Zhou Mi SO BADLY ;_; but I couldn't.

5. after the "1342 AD Europe" life, I wrote that Heechul collects the soul of Zhou Mi and their unborn child, but what I didn't mention is that they already had two children before that. so Kyuhyun ended up as a single father, taking care of two young kids. he probably remarried eventually but I didn't plan that far.

... I talk too much, haha.
