my run at concept zane, building him out as a partly separate character to canon zane (zane 1.5 if you will). took forever but i'm pretty happy with it - still not sure if it should've been ship tagged but they touch cigarette ends in it so #AlanWake #AlanWake2

a screenshot of an AO3 fanfic. world premiere by aerynlallaboso tagged: No archive warnings apply, Alan Wake/Thomas Zane, Thomas Zane, Alternate universe - canon divergence, concept Zane, sorry this is ship-tagged gen bc there is sexual tension occurring but you can ignore it, (alan certainly is). Alan Wake enlists the help of a director - one Thomas Zane - to get his manuscript up on the silver screen.

writing this was the most fun i've ever had writing a fic and i'm so pleased with it forever. wake/zane i love you (ignore the inflated hit count i linked this on a viral tweet) #AlanWake #AlanWake2

This had happened before. He remembered now. The hotel room, him and Zane. Meeting together to discuss a collaboration between them. They'd done it the way he suggested, turned his manuscript into Zane's film. But it hadn't worked. Adaptation wasn't enough. They would have to try it Zane's way this time.
