Do You Want To Read About Fictional Queer Historical Figures? A 20-Year Long Feud? Medieval Sex & Religious Drama? I'm Officially Opening A Woman of No Importance for feedback
Tumblr media
If all those things sound like fun to you then you might want to take a peek at A Woman of No Importance! My "historical" spec fic written through the tired eyes of Cierra Dimmock, the findings of various historians, court documents, primary sources, wills, and letters.
Split into chunks of 25k words, there is no time limit here to read the draft or to even give me your feedback. This is purely for curious/interested parties who have been watching from afar as I write this story to finally be able to interact with it and the path I'm taking with it. You can find a summary below and shoot me a message if you'd like to read or join the hastily made discord for the wip and follow the link there.
The Early Ages were a fragile time for a country, and the long-gone kingdom of Vilsland had a fate no different from all the others. In trying to uncover the mystery of a lost country, one historian becomes captivated by the fates of two elusive figures. A Half-Year Queen and Ill-fated regent Princess Matilde and the solitary Duchess Cierra Dimmock, whose rivalry and hatred for one another is the only thing that still thrives centuries after their story is over. But one day, twenty years after the beginning of their feud, Princess Matilde relies on the pity and hospitality of her old enemy and spends the night in her house. What happens that night will change them both forever.

i don’t know how to tell people that deriving pleasure - sexual pleasure included! - from art* is good actually, and that creating specific kind of art “just” because you find it hot or whatever is just as good a reason as any, and you don’t actually need some “deep and meaningful” reason to create art about things. pleasure - sexual pleasure included - is not the devil, it is not Bad and shameful, and it’s not any less valid of a reason to create something than because you want to, idk, explore the depths of the human consciousness or something
* art here includes writing

we need more representation in media for people who are just dogshit at improvising snappy one liners. too many characters these days can come up with the smartest funniest thing to say in any given situation with zero rehearsal or hesitation and it's just not realistic. we need more guys who say shit like "yeah, well, um, how about you, uh, suck my dick?"

Tragedy and melancholy in art is escapism. Lets you put time and energy into being sad for a bit without thinking about the things making you sad in real life.
