HI so it's been a while since I wrote a journal anyways I just want to share a project I'm super excited about

it's been more than a year since I wrote/worked on a legit many-chapter fanfiction, I've just been too stressed out and busy to concentrate on something like that, and I've really missed having something like that in the background to work on.  A few days ago I took an idea for a sort of mashup of Tokyo Ghoul and Mad Max: Fury Road and ran with it...and suddenly somehow I find myself about 18,000 words deep, with a seven-chapter finished first draft and lots of ideas how to slap it into something sharable.  I don't have anything to post yet, but I'm super super excited and I wanted to share that it's coming up!!  It's going to explore a world where ghoul/human conflicts brought about the apocalypse, and (at least in the Australian desert portion of the world the story takes place) ghouls are the ones who reorganized society, drawing on their super strength and bitter hatred of how things used to be to cruelly enslave most humans.  Then a group of oppressed humans and ghouls who don't really get along steal a war rig and make a run for a better life, and maybe just maybe the things they learn on that journey will help create a better society that respects everyone.  The fic draws from a story that's a tragedy and a story that's anything but, so that's leading to a really interesting thematic landscape; it's going to be called Hope is a Thing with Fetters, and I can't wait to share it with everyone!!  (also due to the nature of the source material it's gonna be really dark, not a family friendly story nope nope nope fyi)
