NaNoWriMo update!

I’ve just hit 15k!

I’ve been mostly working on my canon-divergent fic, Walk Beneath the Stars, which is now up over 40k total.

But I’ve also been working on a fic that I started for a Songfic challenge for the Reylo Fic Recs FB group and my anthology fic for the latest RFFA prompt exchange.

They’re all just going into one file at the moment so I can keep track of everything I wrote for NaNoWriMo this month.

Totals:

Walk Beneath the Stars: 11,786

Songfic attempts: 1983

RFFA fic: 1295

@reylowrimo

Great job! I’m behind, but mostly due to RL stuff.

This is fantastic! Way to go!

Snoke’s ominous dialouge and the message of ep ix

So much of the dialouge/visuals in TLJ is relevant to both the present and future (see: really obvious and blatant foreshadowing aka just good storytelling )

  • Luke: You think what? I’m gonna walk out with a laser sword and face down the whole First Order? (Does it.)
  • Snoke: You wonder why I keep a rabid cut in such a place of power? A cur’s weakness, properly manipulated, can be a sharp tool. (*pulls out whetstone* *come hither Kylo*)
  • Leia *force floats through holo of ship* (Cue breathtakingly silent light speed attack)
  • Rose: not fighting what we hate, saving what we love (ep ix reylo hopeful?)
  • Rey: There is no light left in Kylo Ren. (smash smash goes the main symbol of Kylo)
  • Rey and Ben: tell each other they saw each other turn and stand with each other (minutes later they LITERALLY turn and stand together. And methinks it’ll happen again)
  • I could go on, but we can agree Rian did a great job of storytelling and making it blatant enough for a younger child audience to pick up on if they were to get little work sheets about foreshadowing in school.
  • Main thing here: Rian is blatant and obvious with his storytelling, he just keeps it as a nice steady undercurrent to the story. Every bit of dialogue is deliberate and has purpose.

This makes me worry. BECAUSE:

Great takes!

The Machine

reylofic:

The Machine – UPDATE!  Chapter Sixteen!!!

Summary:

“Force users, they’re so arrogant.  They think this war is all about them.”

Rey and Kylo Ren – two halves of the same protagonist.  But if they’re both right, then who is wrong?  

What if the face of true evil wears an entirely different kind of mask?  What if it’s something with impossibly deep roots – a corruption so insidious, it could hide itself in plain sight?  What if it’s the very same military industrial complex needed to fight this war in the first place?

What if it’s simply… greed?

War is a Machine, internally combusting and turning itself over.  Is balancing the Force enough to stop it?

Is saving what we love even enough?

Doesn’t mean they’re not going to try…
