    Ohhh yea now that you said cait that makes more sense but yea I was thinking Powders blue eyes Jinx pink and the devil on my shoulder thing…. I really thought I was into something but it being Cait makes a lot more sense.

    Also this flows exceedingly well, I noticed a lot of the themes from the last story flowing right onto this one, which means that this whole story is already outlined in your head pretty extensively and it has been for a long while.

    But it’s the little details you manage to add which I’m sure I miss 3/4ths of them first time that will make future readings in the future more satisfying.

    Please, keep up the good work take as much time as you need to get it as “perfect” as Jinx herself. I’m really happy I stumbled across this story randomly and that this community seems to have disproportionate amount of really quality stories. (Which is obviously a good thing.)

      It was a good theory! Almost makes me wish I'd done it that way, actually! But here we are 😂

      Yeah I do some pretty extensive outlining but my big secret trick to writing this sort of thing is to plan flexibly and allow room to absorb the twists and turns of dominos falling that come from having an erratic character like Jinx at the wheel...

      Both of these stories have been a fine training exercise for me in how to let characters direct the flow of a story instead of trying to force characters to go where my story plan wants them to go.

      Lightcannon really has some great yarns, I am honoured to have stumbled into this little corner of the fandom and been able to hopefully add a few to them with my weird little repetoire (wait till you read the Victorian gothic horror story and the Touhou Project crossover if you haven't already, ha ha)
