was thinking about how i would hypothetically divide up characters between welsh miners / london lgsm for the au and well. let’s just say we are looking at a situation in which r does not have any friends. except for his mum. who you (<- r) will be pleased to hear would still have breath in her lungs for once

#could give frank and alice to the welsh. james and lily and dorcas and peter and marlene are going to the gays #kingsley to the gays also. FABIAN AND GIDEON to the welsh. caradoc to the welsh perhaps. pomfrey to the welsh? hm.#conscious of wanting to fictionalise this to a certain point but not over fictionalise it. and certain characters have to play certain #characters but other characters have to be inserted in to the narrative and…gosh. hm #currently i oscillate between 'this is doable' and 'there is no way i could pull this off' at speeds previously inconceivable to the human #mind. i think just because there is. so much to get right. starting with the fact that pride is not fictional it is based on a true story s #which feels. more complicated to put into an au and carry off well. and also the fact that pride is not a romance. and the au would be.#but it would be critical that it does not become a romance at the expense of the overarching plot of the strike. and that balance #between plot and romance is not something i have ever done before considering usually my plot IS the romance.#everything has to be given equal attention while also seeming to work together. and also do justice to the fact that its a true story. and #also an r/s au. i do not want to cast real people as fucking r/s characters but also to make the plot work s at the least has to sort #of take on a very real role. r not so much hes sort of just inserted into the village like hes just there. hm. hm my head is frazzled!!#<- saying all this. ive had a stunning amount of dialogue springing to mind already #wait hang on i can give arthur and molly to the welsh that means also. bangin okay we're getting there lads #pride au
