AUs, fic ideas, etc

 (Last week I posted a new chapter of Butterfly Effect)

I'm about halfway through the next chapter, but I'm already thinking about different fic ideas (this is what happens when I have a lot more time to think than to actually write). Some of the ones that have been the most present in my mind include

• a canon-divergent au in which Wei Wuxian brings Jin Zixuan back as a fierce corpse
• a space fantasy au (where cultivation in space is a thing, in fact the only thing that allows FTL travel, until Wei Wuxian invents a technological method and throws the galaxy into disarray), probably very self-indulgent and tropey and full of stuff like, being cryogenically frozen for 13 years, and minds being uploaded into spaceships, also the Nies have mechas
• canon divergent au where Nie Mingjue loses his core before the sunshot campaign and Nie Huaisang begins acting as sect leader while his brother is still alive
• coffin juice au (I call it that because it began life as this (spoilery) shitpost, but then (with input from clockworkspider) it's transformed into a semi-modern archaeologist au with reincarnated Nie Huaisang having confusing dreams about his past life that start taking over his life when an old temple is excavated.

And then yesterday I began writing something that was none of these.

(Coming recently from tumblr, I find myself wishing it was easier to post from my phone. Dreamwidth can handle a lot more formatting options than tumblr, which is good, but hard to navigate on a small screen. Still learning my way around, I guess.)
