In this post, I discuss spoilers from The Scion Suit. If you haven’t read it, I highly recommend that you click the link and enjoy some free reading.
Alrighty
With my new multiverse expansion of The Scion Suit, I’ve written timelines of Carol getting into a relationship with either Captain Lambert, or MSG Hartmann. Due to Carol’s incomplete personality at the beginning, this has a big influence on how she turns out.
The catch is that in order to stay with Carol, the chosen beau must leave the planet and join an alien race.
For fun, I asked my husband what he thought each man would think of that decision.
He replied that since Lambert joined the military to run away, he’s probably still motivated by that desire. Leaving the planet would be the ultimate form of running away for him.
Then my husband said, “Hartmann wouldn’t care, because he’s crazy… and a war criminal.”
I handwrote the Damon/Miranda letters months ago to feel more in character, and now I’m running into the problem of never being in the mood to transcribe them.
And here I had been fantasizing about posting two a week. Ha. Ha. I’m such a slacker.
I’m going to bluntly tell you right now, I don’t know how to end the letters. I don’t particularly want to write nine years of Miranda and Damon writing each other back and forth, but I would like to include the resolution at the end.
I’m probably going to have to switch over to third-person narration for the finale.
It will be epic and beautiful. Reduce you to tears, and all that jazz. So A-MAY-ZIIING.
My husband pointed out that their story is pretty far outside of the usual romance genre formula — but I’m good at being offbeat and weird.
It’s ‘normal’ that I struggle the most with.
Considering that I’ve never really lived ‘normal.’
Just wait until I start posting the Carol/Hartmann stuff I’ve been writing, lmao.
