In the spirit of not hiding my light under a bushel -- I worked on this! I was primarily a cultural consultant, did a little work on the concept and rewrote most of Ahti's dialogue to fit the speechpatterns of an ESL speaker. I am deathly tempted to say that I did jackshit but if Bless and Editor both want me to take credit for my work, then fuck. It would be rude not to, I guess? (I'm currently not listed as a co-creator because I, uh, frankly freaked out thinking about receiving updates on the kudos and the comments into my e-mail. Maybe one day. Or maybe never.)

Anyway. Performative self-flagellation aside; it was really nice to work with Bless because he took the idea of being authentic to Finnish culture very seriously and was fine with me blowing up parts of his concept entirely and adapting the rest to fit the mood and tone he wanted to convey. He also already came in with an excellent sense of character, the big reason it's hard for me to accept any real credit for how this fic turned out is because gosh the concept was so strong, Ahti was so compellingly written, I had to do very little but to add flavour and basically translate the existing dialogue back and forth.

I kinda hope I get to do something like this again, tbh. Like, I shy away from working on other people's stuff but the ~two artists collaborating~ part was a lot of fun, and I hope it wasn't just a positive experience for me personally.
