Secrets of an Anarchist

by shittyelfwriter

Mia Paxton is a political journalist living with her best friend, Jane Foster. When Jane is called away to Tromsø on business, Mia is unexpectedly roped into advising SHIELD on the motives of a certain God of Mischief-placing her long kept secrets at risk. What is Mia Paxton really hiding, and what does SHIELD want with an anarchist anyway? Book 1 of 'The Paxton Files'.

4. NOTICE OF INTENT TO UPDATE SOON

Hey guys!

I realize it's been a small eternity since I've updated this story, and since I've some how miraculously attracted 30 followers to this tiny 13k+ word beginning I thought I'd give you all an explanation for the uber long silence.

1. I pretty much lost motivation for this story for a while. I let my Marvel enthusiasm die out and it's taken me a long time to stoke the embers and get this baby burnin' again.

2. That being said, it's November, which equates to one, important thing: NaNoWriMo. That right guys, Secrets of an Anarchist has become my NaNo novel. I'm pleased to announced I've passed the 35k+ mark on my NaNo word count, which DOES NOT include the 13k+ already posted here.

3. In addition to that, I've revamped a few minor details and developed my plot line enough that I've now got the makings of a series on my hands. Yup, I've really done it now. Oh well. This story started out as a plot dump for my Loki obsession, and has turned into something a lot more productive along the way. TA-DA *said with all the enthusiasm of Loki in Thor:TDW*

4. I've also revamped the summary, pairings and genres of this story. It previously was a [Loki/OC], Supernatural/Romance fic. While it will keep those elements, it can be better described as what it's labeled as now: a [Loki/OC/Captain America-Steve Rogers] pairing with a lot of one-sided Loki angst and feels. Also, the backstory requires it to be labeled Supernatural/Drama. After all, Romance is usually a part of Drama and it is a triangle kind of situation we're going to see in the future. There will still be lots of Mia/Loki goodness though, fret not!

5. Mia herself. I've done my best to really make her a character worthy of the MCU. The actress best suited to play her is Stana Katic of Castle fame. There is a similarity in the personality (and even life story/history/past occupation) of Kate Beckett to Mia Paxton, but obviously not everything. Kate Beckett is a strong character and I have a lot of respect for her. That aside, Mia is not her carbon copy-more like a skewed image of the virtues and lifestyle she tries to lead. You'll see the parallels later on.

Okay whew. But there you have it! This story is not abandoned; far from it. Come the end of NaNoWriMo I will begin posting the chapters one at a time-including the chapters already posted here, which as I said have been slightly (but not dramatically) altered.

So if any of you are doing NaNoWriMo as well, feel free to as me as a writing buddy! My author name is etiquette-faux-pas on there too.

See you all post-November!
