Today I was asked what I was working on fiction-wise, and I realized why I maybe feel a little overwhelmed. :P

Right now I'm editing two diegetic pieces written or translated by my Final Fantasy XIV characters, including my Allagan adaptation of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar—Ĵwlŷs Kæsar (set in 3AE) by Liam Meri'a Morvelet (5AE), translated by a team led by L. Maxx Arcwolf-Kisne commissioned by his mother Joan Arcwolf-Dhivri (7AE)—and a quantum aetherophysics paper proposing a cosmological model for the entire FFXIV multiverse named the "666 Fractal Manifold Model."

On top of that I'm editing a fan fiction short story about my FFXIV characters on a mission in Dalmasca named "My Brother's Keeper," which is the story of how a Cain-type "big brother" figure does right by his Abel (by choosing to be his brother's keeper rather than shirking that responsibility) even if his Abel is a little shit sometimes.

Finally, I'm working on an original novel called Blank, about a mage with DID (and her fox-man friend) who uses her dissociation to save the world from the First Curse (the Curse of the White—the Araleuk) and a Roko's basilisk-type entity from the Yawning Abyss that is both the cause of our suffering and the effect of our cruelty towards one another named Mhosrow, the Mother of All Abominations, Queen of the Yawning Abyss. The name Mhosrow is a proto-Indoeuropean name meaning "the Maws that Belch Forth."

I don't know how I'm able to keep it all separate, but I guess it helps that it's all happening from the same "framework" in a pataphysical sense. Somehow. In my head. It just works. I can't pretend to understand why. XD
