Last minute waffling
I have this sequel to Berserk bouncing around in my head- I may not have mentioned that yet, but I've had it for a while- set fifteen years later, with Skae's little sister grown up and trying to find him. And I love it. It would be that kind of story where someone stumbles across a secret, something nobody talks about, and starts poking around and stirring up old grievances, and it would give me that chance to show a bunch of different versions of that same night, from 'he's the reason we're all here today' to 'he's the reason my child is dead'.
There are a couple of problems with it, like some events would have to be shown from Skae's perspective, but I don't want to introduce a new POV halfway through the story and I have no reason to show his POV early on. And I'm not sure what the outcome is, ultimately. Stories are about change. I don't know what's going to be different.
Also I don't even know where to post it, because a lot of it is going to be M/F (I know! Me!) and AFF doesn't care much for that and I want feedback :P
Anyway despite all these unanswered questions, or maybe because of them, I want to write it. And because I'm a bit sick and apparently too braindead to do any actual writing I spent half the day yesterday mulling over this sequel, and then I went back and read Berserk, and I cringed- some of the narration needs an overhaul- but only editing, not a complete re-write, I think- so now of course I want to do that right away. Both the editing, and starting the sequel to a story I haven't finished.
And I'm not going to. Or am I?
God.
