Write Every Day: Day #4

[auroracloud]

(Editing the time stamp slightly to make it look like I'm posting this while it's still the 4th over here.)

I still didn't sleep that well last night, though at least it was a bit better quality sleep, so I felt more like a person than yesterday. But a person with very little brain. I did get some things done today, though. It would have been smart to go to bed early, but then I started doing some things. Ah well, at least the things put me in a better mood than I'd been all day!

I'm in trepidation of the heat wave that is to come over for the next few days. Today already felt super sticky and hot and uncomfortable, although the temperature was actually just 20 °C or so. The next few days are supposed to be a lot hotter, and I'm not good with heat...

Well, I'd definitely better crash down to bed after posting this!

Today's Writing

Well, I came up with an improved title and summary for the fluff ficlet, but there's one part of it I keep waffling about, so I still didn't post it... Hopefully tomorrow!

But I also started a fic for Genprompt Bingo. Though the fic isn't actually gen. But that isn't a requirement, fortunately.

I also did some research, by which I mostly mean that I looked at books on fashion history about the relevant time period, because it's fun and can be done also without much brain. I never tire of history of fashion. The things people wore! Humans, so very very ridiculous if you give them any spare time and resources.

Another six-sentence fic to a three-sentence prompt—this time I needed to show both before and after—and some more poking at the Miraculous Ladybug/Disney's Beauty and the Beast fic. My conclusions thus far:

* Marinette comes up at least to Gaston's nose and is entirely capable of breaking all his bones one-handed and before he even processes he's getting his ass kicked by the foreign beauty he has ten years on. (Which is probably exactly how he phrases it, too.)

* Adrien is tall enough by 21st century standards. In this setting, he is TOL. Also, he's not bulky like Gaston but he's definitely built more than solidly enough for Gaston to notice Adrien's presence means Gaston might no longer be the most dangerous person in town.

* The Enchantress is a Miraculous wielder. And that stained glass in the prologue is...not what she looks like when transformed. The young blonde in the green ball gown isn't, anyway; the old beggar is probably fairly accurately depicted.

* Ladybug and Chat Noir are absolutely going to start off treating the Beast like a cross between a standard-issue akuma and an akuma-controlled Chat Noir.

Sounds like you're having a ball with that crossover! Good luck and enjoy!
