Wright-a-Thon prep
Dec. 20th, 2018 09:58 amIt has come to my attention that the 2018 Wright-a-Thon starts this Saturday. I haven't participated in a fic-a-thon since ... 2013, iirc, when I wrote a ton of fics for a 6th Doctor community on Livejournal... But that was so much fun, I can't wait to see what this will be like. It's different because the Sixathon involved members of the comm leaving a few prompts that you'd fill specifically for that person, more like some of the bigger fic exchanges whereas the Wright-a-Thon, if I'm getting this right, is simply a sprint. There are 10 years of writing prompts to choose from, so they close down acceptance of new prompts for the duration and participants write as many fills as they like.
So I've been reading.. trying to read through the prompts (there are so many, I've only managed to get through two parts of it. There are more than 30 parts...). I shouldn't be surprised that Gourdy/Phoenix Wright tentacle sex is on the second page and yet... I mean, it's odd to look back in time, as it were, and see how the fandom was already "well, we're done here" in 2007. I thought I knew what crack fic looked like until I read that. I... I don't know if I can write crack fic ever again. I doubt my capacity to match that, honestly.
Thankfully there are a lot of gen prompts, so I won't be writing about Phoenix' aquatic love babby with a sea monster anytime soon.
Actually, I had started work on a new fill just before I realized the Wright-a-Thon was coming up. The prompt was very detailed, and the fill will likely take several chapters but the idea interested me. They wanted a deep dive character study for Franziska von Karma, in the form of a story spanning her childhood up to roughly her introduction to the game. She was to find one of the letters that Phoenix Wright wrote to her "little brother" Edgeworth (who is 7 years older than her) -- letters her father was secretly disposing of. She takes it out of curiosity, but becomes fixated on it, keeping it for years and then feeling conflicted when Edgeworth did the whole "prosecutor Edgeworth chooses death" thing.
She's a fascinating character, very conflicted... I think I'll enjoy this.
