Hello! I’m Cor, a meta analysis nerd at heart with a magpie brain focused on collecting specific amounts of information together into compilation documents in my spare time, especially character dialogue. I’ve only been creating for the Horizon fandom for a couple years now, but have been consuming fics for far longer, shortly after I started playing the HZD Complete Edition. I am constantly inspired by my fandom fellows and our chats about Nil and Aloy’s character meta, some of which have prompted me to pick up writing again for the first time since a single writing class I took in my first year of university. Currently, I’m an aspiring writer with too many WIPs and ideas piling up, with the dream of writing a Niloy character study longfic or an original poetry-and-prose anthology in the future.
Q&A
What is a favourite piece of work you’ve done (i.e. completed, working on, in concept), OR what is something you’ve always wanted to create for fandom?
My beloved pet project (that is in a constant state of WIP) “Of Blood, Steel & Sand” is a character study of Nil and the things in his life that have defined him that I really need to finish, and I have several in-concept ideas for a Horizon daemon!au fic that I am always thinking about.
I also have transcripts of GAIA Cast episodes and some other compilation docs on my tumblr!
What are some of your favourite tropes (to read, write, draw, etc)?
Always a fan of nonchalant injuries + “but i could have lost you” for the emotional angst, and redemption arcs where the the characters are set up from the beginning as narrative foils and parallels.
What is an unexpected thing or fun fact about you?
I have a circa 100 year old hand-crank sewing machine that I sometimes use to make my own clothes.
What has been your favourite thing about working on this project so far?
It has been such a delight seeing the community creativity! And getting a peek into people’s brainstorming process for a narrative collaboration has been so fascinating and inspiring, I am feeling the itch to write again.
