I’ve been writing some more horror-adjacent stuff recently, and I realized that I’ve been subconsciously judging how well the ominous sections work by whether or not I read them in Jonny Sims’ voice.
One thing I don’t take advantage of enough as a writer of Magnus Archives fanfiction is the fact that the three times Jon leaves England in canon, he goes to:
my hometown
the places I went the only two times I’ve travelled internationally
Like I should be milking this for content. Why do I ever write stories that aren’t set in Pittsburgh Scotland or Beijing?
S1 Jon Sims is so funny actually. “I don’t want my assistant to get chopped into pieces but it has to be someone” “there’s a perfectly natural explanation for a guy who claimed he was being haunted by a spider to be found dead and encased in spiderweb. Nothing supernatural at all.” He spends several episodes really drilling in how terrible Martin is and then Martin puts worms on his desk and he’s like “sleep in my bed.” He doesn’t believe in most supernatural stuff besides the evil books. Except that when confronted about this in a high stress situation he’s like “it’s all real actually. By the way are you a ghost?” He’s fantastic he’s a dick he’s the best
