I had so much fun with the challenge piece. I don't really have much to say about Will's End, I can't even fully verbalize how it came to be.
Like I said my biggest inspiration for Will's End were the chapters after the fire in LL. But, I also really love the characters of Emile and Kayla and I wanted to focus more on them. I just really loved the domestic kind of perfect family scene part of it. I just really wanted to proposition Clara, Emile and Kayla as this happy family. Of course we know there is something much darker going on behind all of it. It was all in good fun.
Also, the last line of it was supposed to kind of mimic that section in DSI when Lile clues us in that Fierro and Clara are in the same hotel with just one simple line. I kind of wanted to imply that Fierro wants to open himself up to being around others but, is afraid to. That is kind of the sense I got from some chapters in LL.
@Lile--- I tend to re-read comments sometimes to get sense for how I can change things and I reread your comment from Will's End. You said "I get nervous re-reading my own work so this was nerve wracking and fun."
I thought it was funny you considered reading my interpretation like re-reading your own work. I was super honored.
Paranormal Romance
I am pretty hesitant to use the phrase paranormal romance because I'm learning I'm not following many of the tropes/aspects people expect in a paranormal romance. I did some surface research by reading synopsis of other PR novels but, not much after that. I think I will stick with calling it Paranormal Romance until I think of a better genre.
I was inspired by many things. In my last post I said it was a combo of :Paranormal Romance, Litany Lane, The Hunger Games, NBC's Kings, Shakespeare, Gothic Literature Romanticism, Zack Snyder, Jane Austen, Classical Mythology.
I fully intend to add to that list but, I can't think of what I need to add.
Most of the characters and pieces of the plot are taken from greek mythology. In fact classical mythology/ epic poems are a big inspiration. I have twisted and changed it a bit so it doesn't follow exactly. That way, if do figure out which myth I am pulling from you won't be able to predict the ending.
Side Note-- When I was looking for a lyric from Perry's ET to make the title I was looking at the lyrics and realized how much that lyrics kind of sounds like the song is about rape . . .
De Tuileries
You are going to see a very,very,very familiar framing devices but please trust me, I'm not crazy. (well . . . ) I wouldn't use the same thing unless I absolutely had to.
