So excited because self started writing a sequel to First Life, which was published in Juked last July. The way that story ended, Dragon’s grip on reality seemed disturbingly fragile. Especially after what happened to BFF Her. Self’s new story starts the day after First Life ended, in the same classroom with the same teacher, Fire Lizard.
In between writing the sequel, she’s also teaching her on-line class in Essential Beginnings. For breaks, she reads fan fiction.
She just found a really interesting one last week: a Game of Thrones/ Hunger Games mash-up.
Here are the ships:
- Arya/Gendry (Self mourned the separation of these two in an earlier season of Game of Thrones)
- Katniss Everdeen/Peeta Mellark
- Jon Snow/ Ygritte
Elves and Wolves are partners in the war against Humans.
Humans enslave elves and torture them (We are soooo bloodthirsty, we humans)
At this point (since this fan fic is just getting started), self has no idea who is who, but these are the characters (Not all are elves; self thinks it’s safe to say Shaggywolf is — ehem — a wolf!)
Crow * Wildwind * Flame * Snowbird * Highbranch * Longheat * Crow * Shaggywolf
Flame’s father and oldest brother have died, so she is next in line to lead her tribe, “but she’d rather leave that mantle to her brooding cousin who loves to sit and watch and think about everything. Sitting on a thornbush seems like more fun than leading a tribe.”
Hmmm, Flame sounds a bit like Katniss? She could also be Arya.
As the story opens, the humans have captured an elf. They start drumming, which means the process of torture has begun.
Ugh.
Self will read on. If she can watch The Revenant, she can read about elf torture.
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.
