--If s/he had to choose, with whom would your most recent POV character prefer to live?

Oh, this one is painfully easy--movieverse Diana is my most recent POV character, and in current movie canon I'm sure she'd give a lot to find Themyscira and see her mother and all her sisters again! I feel like she's made her peace with being in our world by the current canon "now," but that she doesn't feel truly at home anywhere here...

So yes, I wrote another movieverse Diana story and I'm happy about that! Just short snippets for now, but it's a pleasure to write her. I hope writing is going well for you too!

*laughs and laughs and laughs* The current chapter I'm working on has Quinn musing about how she needs to move in with Morgan for all sorts of reasons. I haven't gotten to the bit where she admits to herself that the real reason that she's not doing it, in fact is digging her heels in, is that she doesn't want just lovers and roommates. She wants to get married to Morgan.

So I think I know what the ending of the story is: Quinn proposing at Valentines and Morgan very enthusiastically saying yes because finally, what she wanted all along.

Cool on the Diana story! That sounds like fun, if sad for Diana.

My writing is going all right. Fewer words than I want but I'm getting lots of publishing stuff done so it's all right. I'm hopeful that by the end of the weekend I'll have every single story prepped for publishing out to the end of the year.

Good luck for the next week's writing!

Oh, that sounds great! I hope it's going well and all of that end-of-the-year prep is going smoothly! This is probably the most stressful time of the year for me so... fingers crossed!

Ahaha! I cannot even remember who my last POV was... Is kimono a POV? I think all I did this week was kimono research. lol

(I think I will just go with Loki cause I am... sort of certain I haven't done Saitou or Sano this week?) Loki is quite the prickly character (at least in the present canons) and doesn't much care for living with anyone. =X I always write him as caring very deeply for his children, but I do not know that he would prefer to live with them eternally. I like my Loki to have a sadness in missing Thor because he cannot be with him daily like he used to be, so there is the desire to be with Thor, but to perhaps retain his independence this time, to be with Thor on his own terms, however mercurial they may be.

Writing has... not gone too well this week. XD But I have been working on my kimono panel the last few days! I simplified things and feel so much less stressed about it; it's such a huuuuge burden off of me and I feel so much more free!

I'm glad to hear the kimono work is going well, if overwhelmingly! That sounds so sad about Loki, and I love pairings like that, where what the characters want more than anything else is something that simply can't be because of the choices they've made...

Rorden is perfectly happy living with his dog thank you very much. He in no way wants to settle down with a spouse and live comfortably and happily on a farm again, nope. No thank you. (;P). Because of his deep separation of sex and love, in that dream he imagined himself proposing a sexless but loving marriage to a kind maiden who wanted to keep her virtue and adopting children, when he dared even dream about it. Sexually, he's attracted to men, so if he ever got *gasp* actual happiness, it'd be with one of those. In truth he'd be happiest with a sexual lover who loves him, getting used to the notion of those being the same thing, but never settling down anywhere again - having someone in his life as committed to Doing Good as he is to follow him through the world in his quest to make people's lives better (which is hwy he's so disappointed someone has handed him their heart on a platter and it's this prince asshole).

Sian wants his family close by at all times, he dreams of inheriting the inn from Eldyn (that was, in fact, the plan, since he is the older brother in this version, DRH Sean is the younger brother). If Kemaer proves to be true this time, he'd be happy to include him too. Having grown up around and being used to the inn life, it's his ideal way to live - surrounded by friendly regulars and strangers in need of a roof.

Failing her family back from the dead, Mary wants to stick with the Fairshadow family, wherever that might lead. She has her species' innate drive of loyalty to friends, and considers herself to owe them a debt she can never repay. She has no great notions of finding a mate, though she wouldn't rule it out, to her friendships are more important to her.

Wpow, it's clear Rorden is a really interesting character when it comes to his relationships! I'm such a sucker for characters who have convinced themselves they don't want love when really they don't trust the promise and the risk of it...
