Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous.

Upon request, I will post a random line or two from any of these you choose. Assuming that the file adds up to a full line, that is.

Feel free to request again after I've answered your first post, and it's totally okay to ask for the same file name more than once!

Files!
- helsinki
- sigyn
- loki-frigga
- oracle-zuko
- maikobigbang
- jayakarta
- sokkayue

The ones that are actually kinda-sorta in-progress, at least.

Since she's supposed to do this until Loki escapes at the beginning of Ragnarok... Yeah. Epic. <333

Hm. I had not thought of that, but it does explain some things. Apparently that is an archetype I like.

Also based on Norse myth!

Norse myth is really painful for Loki a lot of the time.

Ragnarok? I'm guessing that's the end of the world. Even more epic!

It's a good archetype. Someone can find something redeeming in men the rest of the world condemns. It's actually a pretty nice thought.

Every story must have a villain. *pets Loki* Sorry bb.

Yep! That is the end of the world, Twilight of the Gods, destruction of everything ever. <3

*snuggles Loki* The thing is, in the earlier myths, he's a trickster god rather than the betrayer and destroyer he is when we get to the myth-cycle leading up to Ragnarok. He's also often Thor and Odin's companion on various random adventures.

sometimes there is cross-dressing! (http://bettermyths.blogspot.com/2010/07/bonus.html)

Y'know I like Ragnarok better than apocalypse. I am definitely going to be using the word Ragnarok now.

Oh really? Interesting...

Cross-dressing? *clicks excitedly*

They are, technically-speaking, two different events but I don't think most people bother to differentiate.

It is interesting. Makes it easier to write myth-verse Loki as a hero rather than as a villain.

<333 I enjoy that retelling, and it's pretty much correct about the course of the myth.

Every religion has it's own version of how the world will end, I'm sure. And you're probably right, unless the person in question knows how the various ends will take place, I doubt they'll distinguish between them.

I wonder why though. Why Loki? Simply because he's the trickster? What little I know of Valhalla (fighting and feasting) seems to imply that the god(s?) of war wouldn't be feared, since Valhalla was the goal for your afterlife (again from what little I know). *strokes imaginary beard contemplatively*

Funny AND accurate? I love that guy.

I suspect it was the influence of Christianity and the introduction of the concept of a Devil figure. You also didn't have Surtur, the fire elemental who would burn the universe to ashes during Ragnarok, in the earlier myths.

Hmmm, it would make sense. Incorporating the new ideas into what you already have, and since Loki was shady to start with... Good theory.
