Rest Well - FFXIV Write 2023 - Day 30: Amity

Ao3

-

These kinds of days, while uncommon now, were not unfamiliar to Halditar. The perfect storm of stress and thoughts she could reign in, her body working against her at every turn building up and causing her head to just shatter. Left her sickly with symptoms, but no illness. Exhausted in a way she imagined people three times her age experienced. In her youth she’d be forced through the day, existing in some spot between panic and pain, feeling every part of her body and the world around her, so loud, just so much.

As an adult though, she had the safety, the freedom, to remain at home. Her home, with no one to bother her or interrupt this necessary recovery. Hidden away from the bright lights, the crowds, the sharp smells and sensations. Laying on her soft bed, in a dark room, listening to the white noise from the radio and nature just outside her window. Forcing out all thoughts. It wasn’t the best, often boring, but it was what recovering was for.

She had her glasses off, the world now a blur of less sharp colors that was easier to look at. A mint rolled around in her mouth, trying to use it to stimulate her appetite against the nausea that held her stomach in an iron grip. Halditar would have continued to lay there, letting the calm of nothing roll over her, if not for a knock at the door.

The roegadyn groaned, pulling herself off the bed through her home. She had hoped G’raha would have told everyone she wasn’t feeling well when he sent her a message earlier this morning. Preparing to have to turn away a friend, she opened the door. But not a person was there. Instead, a basket, filled with some medicine, a heavy plush chocobo, and a small collection of mild snacks greeted her. She pulled it into her arms, seeing a card, signed by all of her friends.

Instantly her heart fluttered, and while her body and mind still ached, this was plenty healing for the soul. She returned to her room with basket in hand, feeling care in so many different ways, and thinking on how to return it once all was fine.

Livvy's #FFXIVWrite2024 Wrap-Up Post

Hi all - we did it! Whether you wrote all thirty days, are still catching up, won't be writing all the prompts or were just spectating this year... we made it through September!

As always, I have to kick things off with a massive thanks to @sea-wolf-coast-to-coast for creating this incredible event and keeping it running every year. This is by far my favorite XIV event because it's such an incredible showcase of the talent and love we all pour into our own (and each other's!) work, and it couldn't be possible with Moen's absolutely massive investment of time and energy.

This was my SIXTH consecutive year completing #FFXIVWrite! Last year, I learned my lesson about not tempting fate by invoking all the previous life crises I had weathered each September that absolutely would not inhibit me from writing (and I lied in last year's recap, everything was absolutely not fine). This year, in lieu of breaking out the thirty pieces I posted across twenty different characters, I'm going to share some things I've learned this year about myself, my writing, and/or my characters:

I wrote some of my absolute favorite bits with five or fewer minutes until the deadline. Whatever lesson I learn from this will be the wrong one.

Ashe and Rosenheim tied for the highest number of prompts: they each came in at four this year. Rosenheim has historically been a really tricky character to write, because he's so stoic and introspective... but I think I was feeling the sad man hours this year. Ahtyn came in just below them at three prompts.

Ashe and Ilberd canonically fucked during 2.1 (before she and Edge got serious). (I already knew they had canonically fucked pre-2.0, but this new information is extremely important to me. I love my favorite war criminal.)

Ahtyn canonically crossfades.

Ahtyn is also working through some intense and complicated feelings about her legacy post-Endwalker. Getting to develop a new side of her character has been an incredible and unexpected gift.

I try not to track collective word counts for this challenge because I tend to put myself under way too much pressure when I do, and because I like the freedom of going back and editing some pieces after the fact, but I can tell regardless that I've written way more this year than in any year before: I've had more pieces with 1k+ words this time around than any other year previously!

My #FFXIVWrite pieces for this year can be found here! I'm thinking of posting some of them on AO3, so stay tuned for more info!

Thank you to all the wonderful friends who cheered me on, read my stuff religiously, offered thoughts or inspiration, and/or were even more excited about the prospect of an Ashe/Edge/Hien threesome than I was. It made a massive difference, this year and all years. ✨

I'm hoping to use this blog more often outside of September - stay tuned!

And if you're still reading this, if you participated this year, this is a direct invitation for you to send me a piece you've written this year that you're especially proud of. Yes, you!

Final Fantasy Write 2023 Master Post!

Hey look, this year I've got a header! My eternal thanks to my dear friend Khulan Malaguld, also on Famfrit, for this image!

So! We've just wrapped up the seventh year of FFXIVWrite! If you wrote even one thing, even just one sentence, good job! That is the whole point of this, after all! As always, I must thank @sea-wolf-coast-to-coast for all the work she puts into this. I can't imagine what it takes to wrangle so many of us.

As always, the fun isn't over yet, at least in this little corner of the world. I'll be taking October to polish and expand upon everything and post the results daily over on AO3. So look for Listen to the Heartbeat in the coming hours live now! Locked to registered users.

FFXIVWRITE2021 RECAP MASTERLIST

[ It’s been a month you guys! Wow, I was actually scared for a moment that I couldn’t be able to keep up - and I know the quality of my work started to hit the fan towards the end due to some medical complications. But looking back on the past FFXIVWrite challenges, I want to say that I’ve definitely improved! It was so fun to get to know your characters a little more, and even get to know new ones along the way too!! Don’t mind me as I reblog literally everyone’s recaps as I come across them so that I may immerse myself in the prompts I missed! ]

[ Each title of the prompts are named after songs (with said songs linked in each prompt), because I love associating music with my writing! Also I’m really bad at titles lol. Even if the prompt may not be for you, I highly recommend each song I’ve posted! It was really cool to see a lot of you jumping on the music bandwagon as well, because I love hearing what y’all like and what you associate with each piece or character! ]

[ Little notes! Characters listed will be my characters only, if there are NPCs or other characters, they won’t be listed here (unless the character belongs to another person). Content warnings are at the top of each prompt, please read them before reading the prompt, so that you don’t walk into anything you might not want to read. ]

FFxivWrite 2021 Recap!

Being deep into a plotline DEFINITELY helped get angles on some of the prompts this year, but it’s nice to have another full 30 in the bank! This is always a wonderful chance to get into little windows for characters that wouldn’t have the chance to happen naturally in the course of RP, and writing some antagonist pieces was a lot of fun. A big thanks as always to @sea-wolf-coast-to-coast for running this each year, to the folks involved in the Eye Plot, and of course @songsofbloodandfire who’s Kasen is always put through Hell with my Tempest stories.

But! Here’s the big lists for this year! I’ll also be updating my tags filter list to for the Writes and of course Eye Plot.

FFXIVWrite 2019 Recap

I meant to do this last year but I Never Did, so this is my year to make up for that.

Overall... woo boy, I think this year was an improvement over last year. Like a lot of it is still kind of crap, but it’s Readable crap. Ish. I did what I could, and I had fun adding in the screenshots too. So now it’s time to give out some awards!

FAVORITE OVERALL: I have to give it to Crunch because I was just so damn amused at myself for doing a funny one, but Bargain, Wilt, Bisect, and Darkness get the follow up award for also being ones I was proud of.

MOST DEPRESSING SHIT: Wilt, by far. This one fucking HURT. Follow up award goes to Bargain.

MOST LORE REVEALING: First Steps, for covering an important part of his story that has only ever been Very Glossed over. Follow up goes to Dubiety for covering another often nebulous area.

MOST UNIQUE: Slosh. I should do more poem entries!

MOST EVIL: Voracious. I didn’t really do many Evil ones this year and that’s a shame, but I couldn’t think of much meaningful.

FAVORITE SCREENSHOT: Unctuous, followed by Radiant and Dubiety. All three I really like looking back on for different reasons!

THE “NEEDED MORE TIME ON THIS AND IT SHOWS” AWARD: Attune. God damn it I could’ve made it decent if I had more time aaaAAAA

Here’s the masterlist with one word summaries:

Voracious: Did I ever mention Esredes is evil and has a rather twisted sense of justice sometimes? Bargain: The accumulation of too much Post Heavensward Depression. Lost: Esredes’ reaction to the war ending. Shifting Blame: An angsty insight into how Esredes feels about his people... and himself. Vault: Religion is awkward for him, but that’s okay. First Steps: Esredes finally goes back to Ishgard. Forgiven: Did I ever mention Esredes hates his brother? Hesitate: Today we learn that, to no one’s surprise, Esredes is not the kind of person you can have a fairytale romance with. Foster: Esredes can’t stop helping disaster bundles. Dubiety: A very brief overview of how he transitioned from a knight to a heretic. Fingers Crossed: What if Esredes had won? Scour: Esredes continues to struggle with Dragon’s Blood. Jitter: Esredes gets a Promotion but doesn’t understand why. Obeisant: How Esredes got his sword. Wilt: An insight into his post heavensward depression at its worst. Radiant: That period of time where Esrey felt good about the heretics’ chances at winning! Bisect: An abstract psychology lesson. Crunch: Esredes has the worst experience of his life. Trust: That time period where Esredes was hesitant to start his not-redemption arc. Slosh: Various liquids and their meanings to him. Palaver: Esredes’ live reaction to the peace ceremony. Parched: The most defining backstory moment... is actually very boring on the surface. Unctuous: Esredes gives a Badass Motivational Speech. Attune: More into why Esredes won’t change. Darkness: A disaster family camping trip! I managed to cover a decent amount of New Ground this year. I just hope next year, there will be even more interesting things to cover.

[alamhigyoooo]

hooray!!!! ffxivwrite has come to a close, and i'm so stoked to say that i churned out a prompt for every day!

barring my weird sleep schedule i'm really proud of the pieces i've finished. i had so much fun piecing together hallura's character (and a few others!) over the course of this event and even sketched out new paths to take for the future.

i saw a few people doing a quick recap of their work for this year's event and i thought i might do the same! here are some fun statistics and personal notes about my ffxivwrite2020 run!

total word count: 18,995 words

shortest prompt: when pigs fly (194 words)

longest prompt: shuffle (986 words)

free day submissions: 4

personal favorite prompt: foibles

personal hardest prompt to write: where the heart is

a prompt i'd like to explore more: foibles (i really, really liked this prompt LOL)

i've received so much awesome feedback and love for the pieces i posted for this event and i really couldn't be more grateful for such a great chance to grow and develop my style. in just one year i've participated in two writing events and finally worked up the nerve to make a blog to explore hallura after almost six years of her just living in my brain rent-free LOL

more than anything though, i feel like i've proven to myself that i can do this, and that most importantly i can do this for me!

thank you to @sea-wolf-coast-to-coast for hosting such an awesome event and for giving the ffxiv community a chance to do what it does best: create! congratulations to everyone who wrote for this event, even if it was just one prompt, and bravo for having the courage to put your work out there!

FFXIVWrite 2020 Masterpost

FFXIVWrite2020 Master List!

[ Gosh, this has been such a trip! It definitely pushed me to get out of that perfection mindset - as a lot of these pieces, I am definitely not that proud of lol. But to share all this l o r e with people - and to read all of yours! (Those master lists are coming in handy!)  I won’t be changing any of the text in my stories, but I will be editing them slowly to add screenshots to them; and to start putting them under cuts with what characters and settings/timelines they take place - just in case anyone’s looking for something more specific before scrolling through long stories on my blog. Tags are also gonna be cleaned up a bit. I’m going to make a recap post about my favorites / least favorites, because hhhhh I got some w o r d s about some of these prompts lol

Here is the tag for all of my FFXIVWrite2020 works! Here is the tag for all of my FFXIVWrite2019 works! Here is the tag for the very few of my FFXIVWrite2017 works! Life got in the way 2017 and 2018, but I’m so glad to be back and to join in the FFXIVWrite Community again! It’s incredibly interesting to see what differences there were each year!

Underneath the cut will be all of the 2020 works in order! And as requested, a tag for @sea-wolf-coast-to-coast​ for the master list! ]

Long time no post

So... Hi y'all. It's been a bit huh? Let's recap the past few weeks then.

Moved from grocery to bakery/deli and I work closing now. And I am so much happier oh my god. Even if I've come close to two meltdowns thanks to FUCKING CORPORATE being a thing. Also the steamers make the most evil sounding beeps.

There's been no writing though, so that's a Thing. I'm trying to do the Bri's Wee Bab is Born fic rewrite, I'm hoping I can get that wrangled before FFXIVWrite this year. I would very much like to share work with the Wee Bab, you know?

And the Big News: Depending on how this next paycheck sorts out, I'm going to FINALLY buy my new laptop! I'm looking at MSI laptops with RGB backlit keyboards and numpads. Numpad is non-negotiable, they're too damn useful not to have and I don't understand why laptops exist without them. I just wish I could find all that and cenerted track pads. They're all slightly to the left and that's where I rest my hand, so... Causes issues.

So yeah, that's where I've been. Hopefully I'll do more than just like posts again soon.

This whole thing is the reason I made a Tumblr account in the first place, and it’s been really fun getting to do it for a second year now. This is absolutely the sort of thing I used to talk about doing, maybe do two days of, and quit. Both times now though I’ve been able to get -something- out each day. Even if a few were short and pushed up against the deadline.
