artemisdartI had an idea for a Frankenstein 2025 fic from the POV of Heinrich Harlander having a one-sided obsession / crush on Victor Frankenstein, and how that could have played out during their climactic final confrontation. Just now, I wrote it up, and I'm pretty happy with it. There's so much richness to work with in del Toro's adaptation of the story; it's really an embarrassment of riches for anyone who likes symbolism.
With that addition to my oeuvre, I have officially crossed the 1.7 million word mark! Currently I'm sitting at 1,700,222.
