quick update
Hola everyone!
Just writing a thing to say I SEE all the messages that've been sent to my inbox and I'll promise I'll get round to them soon! I've been doing National Novel-Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) this year (as well as some job-huntng lolol) and it's taken up a lot of my spare mental energy. Low-key it feels like all I can do to make sure that the queue doesn't run out of submissions xD
Next month I'll get to everyone's image requests - promise! - and also to those 10K celebrations I mentioned a little while ago! (I've been cooking some stuff up behind the scenes for that milestone, don't y'all worry)
And. Yeah that's about it from me. Stay tuned, thank you for your patience, love y'all, adios <3
#'Mr Reaction Images Guy why do you let the stuff in your inbox build up to begin with' well my dear strawman#I have autism and my executives have a nasty habit of dysfunctioning#and when I'm trying to knock out 50k words in 4 weeks I don't have the spare mental bandwidth to get them to behave#T_T#but anyways yeah I wanted to make a post just kinda acknowledging/appreciating the fact that people are asking me stuff#I've gotten a couple of very nice messages as well as the image requests and it's like: I see you and I love you#(and I'll get to you individually before the end of the year)#(ALSO maybe I got excited and wanted to tease the 10k celebration because dohohoh I have An Idea Or Two)#not a pic

accountability post!!!!!!!!!! (in no particular order)
write 300+ words (that's how much i wrote yesterday and it's a much more realistic goal than 500 or 1000 given what i'm working on and i always like a goal where i am more likely to overperform than underperform lol)
edit #18 whumptober gifs (typo) ✅
make arcarm gifs ✅️
make phoomvicha gifs ✅️
make #19 whumptober gifs ✅️
answer asks ✅️
let's goooooooooooo
#i know that seems like a lot of gifs#but i've imported all the frames and that is frankly the hardest/longest/most arduous part#outside of sharpening (which i don't always do esp with big sets) and making sure they're under 10 mb lol#i have a new export default that helps without making them look like ass though#i think 1000 words a day isn't going to be as hard for the fic that i'm going to be working on#because it's wholly new and i can bounce around a little more and work on multiple chapters at the same time#since i'm not going to start posting until i'm at AT LEAST 30k#and the actual total will be anywhere between 50k to 100k#YEAH...........#it might just be 30k because there are some chapters that i haven't really plotted out yet#and i don't even know if we need All of them#without spoiling it's a parallel narrative and i haven't decided if i actually want it to go back and forth between narratives EACH chapter#so if i don't do that there might be less chapters#but also some chapters might be longer because of that? so who knows#however as an aside i'm going out of town for two weeks so i might not be able to write as much then. sigh#again though i think i'm going to be writing more than a thousand words every day because i can follow the inspiration#and work on any chapter i want if i get stuck#rum.txt

Do you happen to know of any good fics about Donna's death as told in the MCU? Thanks!
I'm sorry I didn't get to this sooner. I wanted to find a fic to actually recommend you, but the truth is that I have done very little reading after MoM and I cannot think of any fics that weren't flashbacks or different from the MCU because they were written pre-MoM. So I'm sadly throwing in the towel on this one.
Those following me, feel free to take this ask yourself if you have some recs.
#sorry nonny#anonymous#ask#answered#but not really#I haven't done a ton of reading the last year#I'm burned out on ironstrange#i don't read reader#and if it's an oc it has to be the slowest of slow burns because ive discovered i like Stephen not being attracted until 50k words in#and honestly i just prefer no romance and very few people write it#so i got burned out on searching#and haven't read anything that wasn't on my tumblr feed or the Stephen Strange server in well over 6 months#so yeah#all my recs will be older fics at this point until i like get my reading mojo back#but maybe others can help

computer how do i stop feeling insecure on my writting so that can i write. computer please
#talking tag;#ok so. story time sure why not#today is my first day of uni and i had classes from 8.30 am to 11:45 which was. fine i was exhasuted but it was fine#and then i had to wait to meet some friends for lunch and i started writting and it just hit me that totp is actually over 50k words#and it's like brooooo i literally wrote a novel length fic (that's still not done btw! not close!) and for whattt who even has the time#to read something like that like why bother. it's not even (directly) about the main characters and i just#i'm afraid that i'm repeating myself i'm afraid that chracters are not being developed like i hoped they would i'm afraid that no one will#care and i'm also afraid that the people that do care won't like it#and then i met with my friends who study cinema and they bumped into people from their classes and i was just.#there listening to their conversations without interacting like what the FUCKKK am i doing here pretending that i fit in with the cool#cretive people and that my prose is any good at all#just. 50 thousand words of fanfiction and i'm worried that none of them are any good#but lately my motto is that i will figure it out so. i will figure it out#i did cry about it (lmao) which i'm counting as progress from the empty nothingness i felt around this time of year a year ago#but yeah man it sucks. totp is my baby but (just like kim lmao) my default is being hard on myself. i just can't not be#i think i'll write on my diary about this and then!!! we move on. oh well#i will finish totp that's a promise but yeah. today just hasn't been great i guess#and i have no one in my life to talk to about this so!!!!!! shouting into the void i guess

Happy Halloween to everyone who celebrates! 🎃
And good luck with NaNoWriMo to everyone who's going to participate! 🖋
Anyone doing NaNo feel free to message me! I might need an emotional support group to get through November, because it hasn't even started yet and I already kinda want to quit 🙈😂
#yeah yeah i could just choose to not do nano this year#but i've done it for the past 14 years and i'm not going to break that winning streak now#i don't have a plot or inspiration but i sure do have stubbornness so here we go again i guess 😅#(well i am pretty sure i'll mostly write bc fics like i've done in the past two years#i kinda want to try to see if i can put olliallu through enough different scenarios to get 50k words of that#but i'd probably get bored of writing so much of just one pairing#so maybe more realistically the goal could be like 25-30k of olliallu and then 20-25k of other pairings#asdfghjk that's so many words why am i putting myself through this year after year 🙈)#anyway nanowrimo is the most wonderful time of the year and you all should do it 👌😌😅#oh also beware i'm probably going to reblog lots of writing prompts etc throughout next month because i'll need a bunch of those 😅

in a race against my meds to type this out and make it halfway coherent, BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think I finally had a breakthrough with my fic, Getaway Car. Ever since I posed the last chapter [CH 10 In which Getaway Car is sent to print] I've felt utterly disappointed in myself. I feel like I gave in to the idea that I needed to wrap the fic up, because I'm being too much and it's too long to the point where nobody is going to want to read this nightmare fic. While I'm still ultimately fine with the chapter itself, I've been stuck with this feeling like there should have been more leading up to that chapter. Like. Something was distinctly missing. The thing being the filming of the "fade to black" section of the script, something that someone even noted in a comment after I had posted the original Ch 10.
A month or so ago, I came to the conclusion that my biggest problem with Getaway Car was that I stopped writing for myself, and that the original ending I had planned was no longer suiting the story I wanted to tell.
Since then, I've been thinking a lot about how I actually want the story to go. What would the most self-indulgent ending to this story be if I allowed myself?
From there, I've come to the idea that I'm going to basically...move what is now Chapter 10 to be Chapter 11, go back and write a chapter for the filming of the fade to black, maybe revise a bit of what becomes ch 11, and then continue on from there.
I started a brand new outline last week, and I think I'm finally in the genuine home-stretch with this story. I won't change anything on AO3 or FFN until I have things written, but...idk. I'm really hoping to have this all wrapped up by like...February, since that's the current swiftie clown theory (affectionate) of when Taylor's going to announce reuptation TV, and look. I will keep my word about finishing this story before Getaway Car TV is released (ง'̀v‘́)ง
#I've also been highly considering just...genuinely going through with making the end of getaway car my nanowrimo project this year#and while I don't think there's 50k of story left -- it would then let me soft launch into the sequel if i needed more word count :)c#i decided today while working on the outline that there's another plot point i originally scrapped that i'm going to bring back#at first i thought it was both too indulgent and i didn't know how to lead in and out of the event#but i think i figured it out all thanks to realizing the emotion i could really explore with it now that i'm changing the ending and --#if any of this makes ANY sense i'll be shocked#anyways#i've had a hard time with this tho bc like...it's basically admitting that i messed up#and i know it's only fanfic so like. the stakes are uh. non-existent at the end of the day lol#but idk#sometimes you have to have the ability to say 'yeah i should have done more--i'm going to fix that'#getaway car fic#writing tag

i love keeping track of my word count in spreedsheets but it means i then look back at previous years like damn how was i doing so good last year but i'm not doing that good this year
n then i have to remind myself last march i was attending one class at community college n not really going out much while this march i'm taking four classes, have an internship, AND getting involved in extra curriculars like. yeah no shit i was writing more last march
#alli says shit#like yeah in surprising news i write less when i have more going on in my life#and i'm acting like i wrote NOTHING... i wrote over 50k words already this year#it really is just put ur ass in perspective u do not need to be a permanent grind#grindset is the mind killer

a lot of the first draft writing advice is like "how to not waste a lot of time on stuff you'll delete or drastically change" but you know, maybe I want to "waste" time. Maybe I can really polish up chapters and add a lot of details that I contradict or completely fuck up later on because it's easier for me to care about what I'm writing when I'm actually thinking really hard about it
#i got stuck 50k words through my first draft because I was losing my sense of this world and these characters. both things were just#a bunch of shitty sentences with bare bones details. i kept not writing because I couldn't make myself want to keep doing that lmao#and meanwhile i keep writing my fanfic slowly but surely because i'm doing it one chapter at a time#and yeah that causes a lot of problems but like#i'm not good at doing anything quickly is the thing. i like to linger on stuff and think a bunch

that post i made on my writeblr about how there's this one story i have out with a mag that i want rejected because i have a story i think suits the mag better.....live cam footage of me receiving the rejection email on my rainy evening walk
#IT WAS A HIGH TIER REJECTION TOO LOL LIKE YEAH IVE GOT MORE TO SEND YOUR WAY!#like yes release me from these chains!#also another thing is this story was first drafted in june and i kinda want to...not shelve but put the stories from pre like#september on the top shelf...not putting them away entirely but putting them high up#not because i think they're bad i actually love that story in particular and think it has some rly good lines#its just that was a rly fragile era in my life LOL. i want to revisit them in like a year minimum#i didnt draft any flash in july and one i think ? in august that kinda felt like#the last story of that era IDK IF THAT MAKES SENSE those stories just have#a distinct vibe to my approach that i dont see in 1970s leather daddy and between us girls#which are september and october#anyway this has actually presented a conundrum bc the story i want to submit needs more work#but i'm very intentionally doing nano as a break from 'professional' writing so no flash in nov#so anything i submit will prob be in december not the end of this month but thinking about flash in general has me like#i have a lot more story ideas than i thought so maybe it'd be beneficial to just fast draft/edit all of them#let them simmer throughout november in a word doc rather than just let the ideas rot in my brain#but that'll probably mean not finishing the lb chapter/update but also tbh...maybe ill just do that on the side in nov#i think if i do a rough draft of the lb chapter i can tinker with it/write up abt it during nov when i need a nano break#i did say just no professional stuff in nov so if the lover boy autism calls i will answer LOL#im doing the nano 50k goal for WS but not as high stakes as last year. honestly just 50k over any projects will be cool#also i got hit by an opening line on my walk too so now i have another flash idea i have to investigate

At the least catch up on my DnD sessions - I have two main campaign and two oneshots to go
At the most... clear out some of the half written shorts that are in my "in progress" folder
What are your plans for NaNoWriMo?
Reblog this and let us all know so we can cheer you on!
#I will share the titles n such when november starts#and like be crossing them off as I go or smth#but yeah. that.#trying not to think of the word count this year bc I don't know how well I will be able to focus on grounds of External Nonsense#(I say as if every year I don't claim I'm not in it to write the 50k and then-)#talkin' malarky#nano 23

Worm Fugue is the funniest phenomenon I've seen in any fandom. Like every time someone offhandedly goes "yeah I read worm super fast, took me like a week somehow" twenty other people will emerge from the woodworks to talk about how they read worm in three days, six days, ten days, just an assortment of timespans in which it's fully unreasonable to read that many words. Worm has a secret Master power that compels you to keep reading and keep reading and keep reading no matter what, although I'm kinda curious how many people actually experience the Worm Fugue so uhhh behold a poll.
