Description
Banner for my M'aih series, of which all their fics can be found in both Ffnet and AO3 (I go by Lalaith Quetzalli in both). And the premise of the series is as follows:What if there was more to James Kirk than anyone knew? What if there was someone in his past that pushed him into making different choices? How much can the existence of two women, a human and a vulcan, two mothers, change the universe through their sons?
Because in the end there is no truer love than that of a mother for her child; nor greater first love than that the same child has for their mother.

You never seem to stop writing. I admire that about you.

Thank you. To be honest, I don't know what I'd do if I did not write so, that might be why I don't stop. I even have three original novels published. So, I write because it's more than a job or a hobby, it's my life and I love it!

That's great 
What's your secret to getting so much writing done?

I think it has something to do with changing. I'm not writing the same all the time. I mean, until yesterday I was on a Merlin bend (I love the series, and the ArthurMerling pairing), right now I'm on X-Men, before Merlin I was on Star Wars, before that on Star Trek... I think I touched Buffy the Vampire Slayer at some point too. I go from one fandom to the other whenever I get tired, and each one carries different feelings for me, so I don't get stuck on any one thing for too long. Of course, while being on any particular fandom I tend to write about that fandom, so it's all connected.

I do understand about going through phases but how it is that you get so inspired?
You always seem to be on a roll

My mind is active all the time. I have an app on my phone because I sometimes get ideas when I'm already in bed, or in the car, or somewhere else, so I can type them down. Still, it's not always a good thing, makes it very hard to relax, to sleep, when my mind never stops whirling with this story or that. Also, I have phases. Right now I keep writing. Also, I have the benefit that I'm ahead of what I'm posting. I already have the next two fics in the M'aih series, and the next five in Nightingale (currently working on the sixth), also, the fact that I keep a mostly careful schedule for updates allows me to keep ahead and to plan which fandom I'm diving into next in a more-or-less orderly fashion. I still get surprises sometimes. I mean, I never meant to become obsessed with Suits, much less with Teen Wolf, but those two have joined my lists now.
Still, like I said, it can be exhausting. Also, it'd be terrible if I had any kind of social life (which I don't, not outside of the web anyway). Sometimes it feels like I live more in my own stories than in reality, and I know my family cannot really understand that. They don't like it much, but they've kind of become resigned to it by now.
It's not perfect, but it's the life I enjoy so...

Well, I really admire that you manage to get so much writing done. Seriously.
My mind is always active too, so I do understand what you mean by it. I just can't keep a schedule like you though (because of life and my muse). Sometimes I just get stuck on certain parts of my writing, which slow me down a lot

Totally agree with that about not being able to rush it. About two weeks ago I had made up my mind that I'd begin writing my next novel. I spent three days literally sitting before my computer, with the document open with the title and the intro... the most I managed to write was the Prologue and I'm not even sure if it's how I want it to be. So, after three days I gave up.
My longest series to date is Nightingale, even though most of the pieces in it are actually AUs. Every so often I become tired of it, I mean, I love Loki, don't get me wrong, but too much of one thing is never good, not even when it's a good thing.
Also, at times I can spend from a week to three months not writing a single word, just reading, watching videos, listening to music, especially when I get into a new fandom. As I familiarize myself with the characters, the relationships, the tropes and my muse decides which she'll latch onto. So, it's a cycle.
Hope your own fics are going well.
My very best wishes for you and yours.

Well, it's kinda comforting to know that even you go through the same thing as I do lol. I guess all writers do. Since I always get alerts from you, I feel like you're always writing and updating quickly.
Thank you and the same to you.
I'm curious about your thoughts regarding my Bleach fic if you ever do feel reading it again. That's the main one I've been working on for years. You're probably the only reader who noticed certain things I was hinting at.

I will read it. Cannot promise it'll be any time soon though.
To be absolutely honest with you I kind of lost my inspiration for Bleach. I mean, the end of the manga... it was awful, and not just for the lack of Ichiruki, there were so many details I really disliked. It's awful because I had so many plans, for my fic Everlasting Souls (a collection of short-stories and drabbles that go with my other two Everlasting fics), and a very long fic called Nakama which follow the basic idea of, what if Rukia had gone to Karakura two years later, and by then Ichigo and co. had already had powers? How much would things change? Answer, a hell of a lot, I have almost half of that fic written and it's long since passed the two hundred pages in Word. The problem? I haven't been able to write a word in years and I'm not about to begin posting when I'm not sure I'll be able to finish it (Also, the whole Zangetsu is not the zampakutoh ruined way too much inside my head and in the fic, for me Zangetsu will always be the zanpakutoh).
The movie was supposed to help, but it didn't, at all. My brother watched it first, said he liked it, which is why I gave it a chance. I won't say I hated it... but they cut out so much, and the things they left they made such a mess of it all... it was awful. And my brother agreed, once I convinced him to watch the anime. He said he only liked the movie at first because he didn't know how much else there was, didn't know what was missing.
Anyway. Thanks for your messages. Will be dropping by your fic one day, though probably not soon. Sorry about that, I'm just being honest.
Best of luck and see you around!

No worries. I already know that you are very disillusioned with Bleach and that you have to be in the mood to read something. I totally understand.
I did read your Everlasting series. It was well written unlike Kubo's work. I'm sorry you let Kubo affect you. You really shouldn't have. It doesn't matter what he did to his series. You respected and fleshed out his world better unlike him.
Bleach stopped being a coherent series a while ago, but it really came to light in the last arc because Kubo was pushed to be "exciting." I'm oversimplying things, but I thing you know full well the things that occured in the last arc were retcons and cannot be taken seriously. I don't take it seriously. I'm with you that Zangetsu is his real Zanpakutou.
I don't hate the movie. I liked it for what it was. I prefer that ending over the manga lol. In the movie it was believable that Ichigo would remain a normal human unlike in the manga.

I much prefer our fics. And by that I mean mine, yours, and everyone else's. "A Protector's Pride" is a particular favorite of mine. Even if it's not Ichiruki (I think there's IchiNel implied at the end), the whole thing makes so much sense! Not just the pairing, but the character development, it's so logical, you believe it. Much more than Kubo's version anyway.
Also, Kubo probably has less blame than we're making it seem. Truth is that I was mostly out of the Bleach fandom long before he gave us that awful finale. Around the time when the anime ended actually (I could keep that ending, in fact I do. As far I'm concerned the story ended there! With Ichigo once again a Shinigami and the whole future ahead of him and everyone else). Anyway, I expected a good finale to pull me back in, allowing me to obsess for a while over it all and eventually writing the second half of Nakama. No such luck. I might, if I manage to twist my muse's arm, sometime give the fic a half-decent end and post it, even if I know I'll never write everything that was on my mind.
Anyway, that's that. And see ya around!
