I’m going to try answering these on the actual website for once!
So a million years ago, I thought about writing deus ex Pritchard-Jensen fic, but I couldn’t actually get any words down for it, so I thought I would take a stab at something original instead. This was before I opened my shop, I hadn’t finished any serious original fiction in ages because I was recovering from my publishing-induced burnout. I wrote about 3/4 of a page of super empty prose and put it down for years. I don’t remember how many. At least 3, maybe 5? But I found it in my google docs years later and went “oh fuck I want to write about this amputee cyborg getting creeped on by his doctor!” And I was finally able to write the damn thing. I was thinking about hardened male video game protagonists forced into moments of compromising vulnerability, and I was thinking about characters like Hannibal who get to hide their freak obsessions in plain sight via the medical field. Oh also, characters who don’t realize until way later that their science experiments. I just love writing weird medfet and angry disabled characters. I’d love to write more Hayes/Farrow one day, skipping to a future time when Hayes and Farrow’s relationship has gotten even weirder and more toxic and codependent, but I never have the time.
