Paigegonerogue - Paige: Speaking Like A Normal Person

🦋

✨

Thanks for the ask Anon!! I’m very antsy to talk about my writing lol

(Kinda a long post)

🦋: Current WIPs

Oh my gosh this list is wayyyyy too long😅😅

So, I’m writing 2 ongoing stories, AbelCode and Anatomy of a Broken Girl, as well as AoaBG’s sequel. However, for things that haven’t come out…

Ghosts (Back in Jackson after Salt Lake City, Ellie starts to hallucinate the people she met on her journey)

A Dungeon Master’s Guide to Trauma (Ellie, Jesse, Dina, and Cat play DnD)

[redacted] (hehe…)

TLOU x Hunger Games (this one is pretty self-explanatory, but I’m not sure if I’m gonna post it…)

These are the ones I’m currently working on, but I have some other ones planned as well…

✨:Newest WIP

Someone sent me a request for a modern AU foster fic, so I started on that a couple days ago. It’s called ‘Frightening Fishes’, based on the ‘Shrinking’ theme song. It’s pretty angsty, believe it or not…

Also, I have a ton more for original WIPs, but I wasn’t sure if anyone wants to hear about that haha. Drop me an ask for original WIPs if you do!

Every time we get new TLOU s2 photo leaks I celebrate like it’s Christmas. It’s like “YEAH, THAT IS A COOL SHIRT THAT BELLA’S WEARING YIPEE”

Hello,

I wanted to ask...

🍧 what is weirdest place you've written?

☁️ wip you want to write but haven't started yet?

🐠 author who inspires you?

ooh, thanks for the ask!!

Long post:

🍧: Hmmmm. I’m not sure, honestly. I mean there are a lot of places where I take out my phone and jot stuff down in my notes, so I guess like… probably a grocery store or smth lol

☁️: Hmmmm, so many lol. For fanfics I have like, a hundred ideas jotted down but I’ll go with some of my favorites:

Turnaround (plotted already and I’ll probably write it at some point. Basically it’s what would happen if Ellie never turned back in the mall with Riley and never got bit) (Angsty)

In the Ring (Joel goes to meet a buyer at this underground fight club in the QZ, and Ellie is one of the fighters) (Angsty)

Name TBD (Ellie is this infamous criminal who gets captured, and Joel is a closed off no-nonsense FBI agent who decides to work with her to take down a criminal organization) (Weirdly the least angsty one on this list…)

Snow (Ellie stumbles out of the statehouse and is… alone. Joel doesn’t make it to her in time and she has to fend for herself in the Colorado wilderness for a while before he finds her) (ANGST ANGST ANSGT)

Cinema Circus (Hollywood AU. Basically, Ellie is this big up and-coming actress who just got an Oscar nom and Joel is a director, and they team up to make a movie) (actually probably the second most angsty on this list because nothing’s ever easy with me) (it’s a miracle AbelCode has stayed relatively light so far lol) (so far…)

🐠: Leigh Bardugo! I love her books SO MUCH!! SoC was the first book I ever wrote fanfic for, I’m pretty sure. I feel like you can probably see a lot of the influence her writing has had on me, especially in my angstier fics like Skin.

painting of bella ramsey as ellie. they were incredible.

Joel and Ellie’s Sweater Sunday!

Thanks for the ask, Anon!

6: most used word in current draft

For scars:

I don’t how how I’ve managed this but… ‘back’ is my most used word I gues??? Somehow??? (I’m pretty sure it doesn’t include ‘and’ and ‘the’ and stuff like that tho…

12: trope you’re really into

One I absolutely adore is parallel endings. It’s just my favorite way to end a story. Parallel endings (at least that’s what I call them, idk the official term) is when the end of your story is a direct parallel/call back to the beginning, maybe by using some phrase or situation, but now everything’s different. I just love that stuff.

19: most interesting thing you’ve researched for a story

Oh wow, I have no idea. I will say that I found this picture I took that I sent to some of my writer friends that’s gotta be up there

(Also… flights?? Flights???)
