writing meme: ask me questions!

[curvasud]

All my fic are here. I'm not sure my collection is long, wide, or deep enough to merit any interest/questions, really, but I thought I'd put this out here in case anyone does have a question. Just ask. :)

I think it would be fun to talk about stories, but the usual memes are like, "What happens next?" "Tell me about Character A?" Which isn't so

I have a lot of questions to ask you but I'm afraid my English isn't good enough.
So, first of all, I just wanted to thank you for your writings because (it might me weird to you) they really helped me in one way or another: they made my day, they gave me hope when I needed it but, moreover, they gave me beauty. You (and pendules) are so gifted and you have to know this.

By the way, one of the things that attracted me most was the pairing Jon Alonso/Luca Leite. As you know, I'll always love K/S probably more than my own life (oh, well, kind of :D) and I always thought of writing Jordan/Luca because in my mind I wanted an happy ending for them (the happy ending their fathers didn't have). But when I read Luca/Jon I immediately fell in love with them because their relationship was more credible but at the same time it wasn't predictable. Your Catorce and pendules i've always been a dreamer made me smile and at the same time the second one had that melancholy that only K/S and X/S have

Jon… You know how Xabi is usually portrayed as calm, classy, rational, sophisticated, wise, and so on? I didn't want Jon to be like that at all. I don't know if I wanted him to be rebellious, or to be naturally different from that, but my Jon is rash, passionate, intelligent, infuriating, bratty, proud, loud, bold, brave, annoying, endearing, love-him-or-hate-him. He lives and laughs and loves with his entire body, and he doesn't give a shit if you have a problem with that.
To be honest, Xabi has never been my favorite person ever -I don't know why, I'm sort of hardliner speaking of pairings and X/S has never been that attractive to me (let's say, I love reading X/S, but individually they are nothing but great footballers to me); but Jon, from the first time I read about him, attracted me because, as you say, he isn't Xabi and the great personality you gave him is definitely what made me love him.

Luca… I don't know, Luca is more difficultOh, well, like Ricky has always been so difficult to describe. In this case I don't imagine Luca

It still indulges us the side dishes of K/S and S/X, but the main course is the two young men, who, maybe, possibly, grew up together in Madrid, and who, maybe, possibly, love each other because they love each other, and not because their fathers love(d) each other.

YES.

A couple days ago, I was complaining about the lack of meta in this fandom. And although this isn't one of those "real" pairings, or whatever, this is so awesome to read. It's probably even better, because it feels so personal (to me, to you, to the few of us who ship this), and because I enjoy reading your thoughts - on anything, really.

Aww, thank you, darling; I feel the same way about you/this. There's been a lot of nostalgia for 2007 lately, and I really do miss it when ~ship manifestos~ - whatever, not even, just general discussions, really - were much more prevalent, and it was so easy to engage in conversation with someone. There's just not as much writing lately, and not as much writing about writing, and it's sad.

Oh my God, I didn't expect an answer like this.
And yes, it would be easier replying to you in Italian but I'll do my best to reply in English (considering the fact that next year I'm going to study in England, I'd better work hard to get better!)

Then I remembered another fic that I'd written three years ago, 2024, which, although written in Kaka's point of view, was really about Jordan and about how I imagined an older Jordan reacting to Kaka/Sheva.
First of all, I have to say that 2024 was the story I liked most (don't think that, if you mentioned another story, I would have said the same LOL I'm not a flattering person, I just love good stories ;D) and that was a problem for me because, when I read you wrote Jon/Luca, I thought Jordan would come out in a way or another, but there was no place for Jordan there and that, initially, confused me.

(in fact, I don't know if you're interested in Becksillas, but en passant, featuring Iker and a grown-up Brooklyn, was one of my inspirations for 2024 - it's fantastic)I'm not fond of

next year I'm going to study in England

Congratulations! You'll have so much fun. Where in England will you be?

when I read you wrote Jon/Luca, I thought Jordan would come out in a way or another, but there was no place for Jordan there and that, initially, confused me.

I don't know if you read my response to pendules here, but Jordan has always been in my plans for a direct sequel to 2024. If it ever gets written, I'll be sure to let you know. :)

it was all simple because Luca smiled and there wasn't Jordan in his thoughts, but only the carefree face of Jon

That's beautifully expressed, Martina, and I'm very excited to read your Jon/Luca. My Italian is not that great, so I'll be reading slowly, but I just can't wait.

Hi, kind of a drive by comment here but I'd just like to say that I'm really glad you're considering writing more of Jordan. Your characterization of him was so brilliant in 2024 that he's one of my favourite oc in fandom. He's just so...inimitable.

I'm afraid I don't actually have a question for you, since I was going to ask about Jon/Luca and it's already been answered :)

Thank you for your lovely comment! Sorry for the delay in my reply, and I hope you have a wonderful new year. :)
