My biggest character flaw is I get these huge ambitious ideas for projects with no commitment levels to match. So I maybe start them but then if it's not something I can finish in a week I almost certainly just never do

[settsplitt]

i can't believe I've been writing for four whole months. It feels like I've lived a lifetime and somehow only started yesterday.

Fic Rec Friday: #11

Intro post | tag

Rec #11: Frea the Huts O' Your Tenant Folk - SiryyGray Fandom: Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure Rating: T Pairings: none Word count: 65,809 (11 chapters) Summary (copied from fic): Things between Varian and Eugene are… tense. They have been for a little while now. Varian says it wasn’t his fault; Eugene knows that it was. And of course the kid just had to insist on joining him to establish foreign trade routes. Because it’s not like that could make the situation worse or anything. Why not throw some life-threatening espionage into the mix too. Sure. Blood, death, and coercion. What’s not to love? Other notes: super fun and high-stakes mystery with the existing tension only revealed in the penultimate chapter. I would highly recommend decoding the ciphers after each chapter to add to the experience!

Added 2,300 words in the re-write of the opening of my (Dreamling) Hob amnesia fic - ie "Thessaly gets pissed off when Hob breaks up her and Dream and starts dating Dream himself so she curses him to lose 100 years of memory each night until they find a cure, so Dream gets a walk down memory lane with all the versions of Hob we've seen over the years."

Hopefully I can get this opening re-written I can even start thinking about posting this fic a bit sooner. I'm otherwise still writing 1489 and the years are in reverse since we're going backwards in time, so after that is just 1389 and the fic conclusion.

Knowing me the new opening re-write is also going to be pretty long but OH WELL. Right now the fic is at 40,000 words and will probably be 60-70k when done?? Then again, this is me we're talking about so who knows, it could be twice that soijodiajdoajd a

I know it’ll be a while but I am Literally rattling the bars waiting to read your book im chewing at the walls

man I'm chewing at the walls with you, I've got such tunnel vision about getting this book out right now!

so far I've:

sent 60 queries to literary agents

received 20 rejections (40 are still unknown)

entered a contest to work with an editor (unknown results)

paid two agents to review my query letter and synopsis so that I can improve my querying package

added 2,500 words to the book in the form of chapter titles so that I can meet a 70k word count and better my chances

and still ahead of me I have:

a list of 150 literary agents and indie publishers who seem promising that I have yet to query

many, many, many agencies that I have yet to look through, meaning my to-query list is going to grow

I think I may have more luck with indie publishers because the book is such a weird gay clusterfuck, but I'm trying the agents first.

indie publishers are small presses that usually choose 1-10 titles to publish a year, so they're very competitive, but they also care less about how commercial and marketable your book is, and more about whether it's interesting and artsy. and I dunno if mine is artsy, but it's certainly interesting

me: pumped out 60-70k worth of words in a month across various fanfics

Word Count update on Golden Doe in a Valley of Shadow (Ao3 Azriel x Elain Fanfic)

Honestly, just a little tease. Because if you've read my work so far, you know I love a good tease 🤭

And there is soooo much more to come! Just want you guys to know I am hard at work on this piece and I am estimating we'll clock in around 60-70k.

I genuinely feel incredibly emotional at the welcome I have received in this fanfic space. The SJM fandom is rough sometimes, yes, and I was honestly terrified to start posting fic. At best I thought no one would read it (I'm about to hit 1k hits which I know is small for some of the work in this fandom but beyond my wildest expectations for a week on the platform) and at worst I thought I would get harassed off the internet for my ship and have my craft of writing, which I am deeply dedicated to, attacked because of which characters I love.

You guys have been so kind with your comments and kudos, your subscriptions and bookmarks. I genuinely do not take for granted that you are reading this work, and how kind my precious Elriels have been to welcome me into this space of unbelievable writers, artists, and creatives who feel moved to express our love for these characters and share in our safe space.

You are good eggs, Elriels. ALL OF YOU.

I adore you. Truly. I will continue to serve you plot and smut, on my honor.

🎊

this is the longest thing ive written for a project so far and theres still like 60-70k more words to go! plus this is just a first draft! but im happy its getting there, hopefully ill have a full manuscript in a few months that i can mess around with

[tepli-mravenci]

Oh none of them, I'm Czech and my 13 yo ass was far from being fluent in English

And even then honestly they suffered from me making things up on the spot and not planning ahead well enough, also they are written in a very cringe way and if I wrote them now they'd be way better like keep in mind I was 13-14 and didn't know how to use most of the potential in my books

It's kind of embarrassing sometimes to learn the terms for things you didn't know had names, like you see a word you don't know so you look up the meaning and suddenly you find out you had cuckold in your my little pony fanfiction 6 years ago

Chapters: 15/15 Fandom: James Bond (Craig Movies), James Bond (Movies), Skyfall (2012) - Fandom Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: James Bond/Q Characters: James Bond, Q (Bond - Craig movies), Alec Trevelyan, Female M (James Bond) Additional Tags: Alternate Universe, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Mercenaries, Don't copy to another site Summary:

Five years ago, Commander James Bond of Her Majesty's Royal Navy left England in disgrace, escaping a court martial -- and what should have been a promising career in MI6 with Alec Trevelyan, his oldest friend. He becomes a mercenary, selling his military expertise to the highest bidder, though not once does he act against England or her interests.

Now, new intelligence has possibly located Bond in the United States, and Alec is tasked with the mission to bring him back to MI6. But to do so will require a very unique type of field operative -- one Bond will never suspect.

Enter Aidan Green, codename Q.

Omg lock thank you so much for the giorno content. Everything you write for jojos is so good and I regularly come back to read scarlet ribbons when I’m feeling starved for vento aureo writing, it’s seriously that amazing. Have you watched/read anything beyond va? If so, would you ever consider writing for parts 6 or 7? Anasui is my yan king lol and it would be so fun to see your interpretation of him

Thanks again for the food!!!

writing for giorno again was really something ,, it was nostalgic 🥺🥺 he was the first character who inspired me to put substantial effort into my writing. tbh, my stories would be rather scuffed if i hadn't undergone the jjba phase.

aaaaa knowing you go back to reread scarlet ribbons stuff makes me smile 💖💖 it's the series i go back to the most as well, actually. it's very comforting. MAN i made it like 4k words or so into the 'main route' of the scarlet ribbons story, i'm not sure when i'll pick it back up again though... maybe i should make what i have so far available ?? i'm content with the quality, it's just that the finished work would easily be around 60-70k 😭

i read all of part 6 and watched it as well!! i've only gotten into the first few chapters of part 7. i've heard it's phenomenal. regarding my thoughts on anasui,, he's one of my favorites from the part 6 cast. i love him. he's both unhinged and intelligent?? the best combination. some of the best lines from the series come from him imho. he's iconic.

[m1ckeyb3rry]

rereading chapter 1 is so funny to me because its so blatant hes lying, and the GLASS

'please let me keep it, atleast until i understand why it was there in the first place'

and his jaw twitching

he KNEW he couldn't let her get that memory back

he sounded so worried though like 'nothing good will come from keeping it. nothing at all' like yes atleast youre self aware

THOUGH! i am fairly confused about when ty lee said that some parties wouldnt be pleased if they found out what she was doing, like i had assumed she was talking about zuko but now im thinking not? unless im missing something, because im pretty sure he knew about the memories, unless its azula shes talking about? working with her brother? or even taking her memories by order of azula without zuko knowing? but i doubt that one idk

ur fic is literally written better than most books ive read and its incredible, the foreshadowing and the details are so impressive to read

AHAHAH there are so many hints and references in the earlier chapters about reader’s identity that don’t really make sense until you know it!! i love adding things in like that because i want my stories to have rereadability?? like i want people to make new connections and interact w the story differently reading it the second time vs the first. i think it’s especially crucial to have things like that with an arc that’s built around a mystery (the true identity of “ursa”) — if you already know who she is, then it could very easily be a boring/frustrating arc to reread without those new things you can pick up on!!

ty lee was talking abt azula!! mostly because azula would be upset to hear that her ally was working w zuko…although ty lee doesn’t know who mc is, she’s not stupid and probably picked up on the fact that zuko’s hiding smth. she then (rightfully) assumed that if they were caught by azula they’d all be in trouble. it was meant to be misleading as it seems at first it would be zuko who’d be upset to know that ty lee is blocking reader’s chi, esp because ty lee is generally aligned with azula, so when it’s revealed that zuko is the one who ordered the memory blocking, it adds another layer of complication (which will be expanded upon once zuko and reader have their not-so-happy reunion)

but OMG thank you so much!! it means sm to me that you think so <3 i never thought that this would end up being such an involved fic (i originally estimated it to end up at about 60-70k words max) but it’s been so much fun to write and i really appreciate seeing how many people love it!!

Fic Rec Friday - #8

should probably actually have at least one Death Note fic on here with my pfp lol. and it's the Friday before L's birthday, after all

Intro post | tag

Rec #8: Offer Me My Deathless Death - bonesandcacti Fandom: Death Note Rating: T Pairing: L/Light Yagami Word count: 61,399 (9 chapters) Summary: L is a vampire who has been alive for hundreds of years. Light keeps reincarnating, and L always finds him. Every time, they fall in love, but Light does worse and worse things each life. Other notes: lots of fun lore (shinigami and vampires), maybe slightly predictable plot but nonetheless interesting. one of my favorite Death Note AUs.
