Headache-inducing categorization
Mar. 16th, 2011 02:17 pmSo, I am finishing/getting ready to post a fic on AO3.
It's got a science fiction premise - the pov character is a canon character that was deaged permanently and had to grow up again, has no real idea of their original life, is for all intents not the same as the canon character. They're attracted to the original's girlfriend/boyfriend, but there's no relationship there, the pov character is underage and the original's partner isn't about to date an underage version of the canon character.
I have no clue on whether to mark this gen or not, because while there is one-sided attraction on the part of the pov character, all actual relationships happened in the past.
Sometimes I wish my brain didn't go off on weird writing tangents. Particularly in fandoms I've been writing a lot in lately.
