selfshippersGood evening (in her time zone, at least) from the Lady of the Meats. The slashed beauty has an interesting backstory to tell you about one of her main F/Os...
His name is Crux raven OrquÃdea Landa Melchior and she loves him VERY MUCH. Despite being a lesbian, her self-insert who she ships with him is a gay man. Anyways, he actually originates from an obscure YA book, called "Ink in the Blood", which the Lady read many moons ago, and fell in love with immediately! Unfortunately, she didn't realize that he was ostensibly meant to be a teenager?. He does not read like a teenager at all and she dislikes shipping herself with underage characters! Anyways. At that point, she realized she had changed far too much about his character, and he was essentially an OC by this point, so she changed his name and ended up creating an entirely new lore/mythos around him and two of the other characters from the original book. And she quite likes the new version better, actually.
The quandary is, do you think that she could write an actual, real-life book about him and his friends? She has basically... changed literally EVERYTHING about the original plot so she doesn't think there should be any legal difficulty, but she's also scared to put him out into the world. Because what if he isn't hers anymore? Much to think about...
