LuminousAvenger

For the longest time I've been feeling less enthusiastic about watching anything related to Marvel. Maybe I'm feeling burnout, but I also feel like the MCU has become really aimless. With Avengers Doomsday announced I would normally feel this rush of excitement. Instead, I find that I feel absolutely nothing. I feel like the stories Marvel has been telling in the aftermath of Endgame have been really disconnected and haven't felt like they were really building much of anything.
          
          Lately I've worried that my stories have potentially fallen into the same trap. Part of me wants to do a soft reboot of the Lumenverse. I don't want to start over by any means, but I do feel like there are so many story lines and plot points playing out independent of one another to the point that it just feels like a big mess in my mind. So I want to ask my readers what you think about the state of the Lumenverse. Do you feel that I'm juggling far too much? Do you enjoy the stories that are being told?
          
          I would like to tell you what my plan is moving forward to give you some more context:
          
          After the story of the Cosmic Forces, I plan on exploring the Midnight Sons involvement with the Mephisto, Captain Britain and the European Avengers facing Dr. Doom and the Masters of Evil, as well as the Thunderbolts' own story which is TBA. From there, I wanted to present a prequel story for a Kang story line involving the Fantastic Four going to an alternate dimension and encountering Kang there. They come back to earth and warn everyone of his imminent arrival. This would essentially be the start of a new saga that I would like to present as the Kang Trilogy.
          
          Do you feel like this is a path that you would want to read or do you feel like I'm doing far too much?

I am in the depths of despair regarding inspiration. I feel stuck and totally uninspired. I’m begging- please help me rediscover writing again.

Hi lumi I hope you're doing well
          
          On a scale of 1-10 how excited are u for doomsday? Thor is back to his short hair and he looks hot asf. Do you think you'll adapt it into lumenverse someday?

I often worry that I have done the same thing that the MCU was recently guilty of- introducing way too many plots all at once and having far too many spinoffs and miniseries and whatnot. I really want to reach a point where I have a solid and cohesive story moving forward as opposed to several different ones occurring all at once. At the very least, I would like for them to start tying together more. I know that I've teased a lot of stories and I just feel overwhelmed by all of it at this point.

I find myself facing a moral quandary. I use an AI program to generate images of my characters so that I can design story covers and bring characters to life. But I feel less and less okay with using AI for so many reasons. Aside from environmental concerns, I also worry about what AI is doing for creatives. Knowing that AI is being used to generate stories is pretty bleak to me because I love to write and feel like it's a very emotional and very personal journey for myself. To think that someone can just give a prompt and let a computer do all of that is kind of dystopian to me. I understand that there is a lot of convenience where generating images is concerned but I don't want to rob an artist of their ability to create. If anyone knows of digital artists who fit the aesthetic that I like (photo-realism, I guess), please let me know.

I love your stories. You're my favorite gay fanfiction writer. I've always preferred fanfiction with original characters to stories about character pairings. I love the Thor and Lumen stories. I loved your idea for a Leon Kennedy story, I've always wanted to read a gay story about him, and I think you'd do a great job.

Is it okay to say that I want more bucky and nikolai :) I was watching tfatws the other day and Sebastian Stan is just so yummy I want more of him and his sexy russian bombshell bf 

Okay. Because I can’t get it out of my head and Leon Scott Kennedy is one of my favorite RE daddies, I’m going to try to write a really gay retelling of Resident Evil 4. Drop your thoughts, ideas or wishes below please and thank you!

I had a dream about Resident Evil 4 last night. Instead of searching for the president’s daughter, it’s his son. Leon gets to the church and finally secures him. It turns out that he and Leon had secretly been lovers. After making sure the president’s son is unharmed, Leon takes his chin and tilts his head back so he can look down into his eyes. Then Leon says “it’s going to be okay. You’re safe. Daddy’s here now”. SWWWOOOONNNN!

A huge surprise is coming to the Lumenverse soon. I haven’t been able to talk to anyone about it so the only person who knows is me. I am practically bursting at the seams to reveal it but I can’t yet. Just know that something special is coming and I can’t wait to read everyone’s reactions to it.
