#Wanted to end the year by finally finishing a multichaptered fic so yay!!

‘I know life and fate are scary, but I want to be legendary’

If you like reading completed fics after waiting for months (it’s only 3 chapters but the last chapter is somehow 10k), random characters that steal word counts because they are just talkative like that, watching a young boy gain confidence to face uncontrollable situations before moving to a region full of uncontrollable situations (but at least he’ll become OP there), and a picture that will never be explained, then this may be the fic for you!

-> Kalosian Woods fic: technically precanon but I see this happening around early S1 of XY

-> For a fic in the XY universe there is only Hoenn. Because this is a fic about Sawyer getting to Kalos (and how he got his Starter, a Slakoth, and that autograph from Steven before he entered Gen 6 territory)

-> Yes, I am sorry about the third chapter. I cannot promise that the chapters in the future will be consistent or shorter in the long run either.

Anyways, happy not-new-years yet and woo to actually getting a fic out in this tumblr (thanks for those who voted in that poll heh <33)

Ok ghost of the past... ffnet

Soooo In my late 20s I discovered a small (but extremely cozy, inspiring and talented) fandom... it felt like a community, almost like family... they were very encouraging... so I ended up dabbling in fanfic writing for about 20 months to help me improve my english while i was planning to immigrate to an english speaking country.

My favs:

The Chance - my very first fic. (spanish: La Oportunidad) Wrote it like a last century latinamerican short novel which was my style back then before I discovered fanfics. So tons of long descriptions, adverbs and head hopping and switching POVs . But i still like it. It's still my most popular work in ffnet. I'm planning to piss off my 28yo self and write an alt. ending. bwahahaha

Breakdown - my last fic. I wanted to try creating a quick 3-chapter agatha christie murder mystery fic and ended up writing a full 60k multichapter with twists, and romance and cliffhangers. Got a few fans mad. but I LOVE IT. Every time I read it... just puts a smile on my face. I want to try and write and read another murder mystery. Maybe in the Miraculous fandom ****looking at you sentitwins detective agency***. I really had fun writing it. I like that style a lot.

An Unexpected Customer - slice of life and natural dialogue. I love writing guy's POVs more than heroines. I still like it. Only fools fall in love like that <3

Just any other night: the final chapter - yay my first mature (smuttish?) fic. Anyway, the challenge for me was that there were about 5-10 words in the english sex vocab that I totally HATED to read/write back then. so i challenged myself to NOT use them at all. It's still a nice read.

Forever yours - Headhopping at my worst but it was intentional. I don't like writing heroines much. I end up adding too much of myself and my own personal experiences in them. But I still love this fic. Its still one of my favs.

I'm making a lot of posts today but I did want an Opinion.

There's an Isaac/Mc/Arthur fic I've been having on the backburner for a few years now. Like...Two by now, I think.

The original plan was to have this as a multichaptered fanfic that tackled a possible version of how this trio got together, like. In this fic, Arthur and Mc are already a couple, and it was going to feature in like a bunch of scenes that would show how Isaac got entangled with them.

I've posted some snippets before as previews, but in truth I am fucking awful at multichaptered fics since my anxiety will talk me out of working on them, and I'll prioritize oneshots and requests and anything else first. (Brain is evil! Who knew). If it isn't the anxiety, it's that I can't stop adding scenes or ideas for scenes and making the thing too huge with ideas to fully ever finish.

What I wanted an opinion on is that I wrote an end to this fic pretty much before anything else, and I like the end of it *a lot*. But it's been collecting dust for a couple of years now.

So for Isaac Week, I was considering posting the ending I enjoyed for one of the prompts.

Of course I would be sprucing it up a little, making a proper intro to it so you can easily know what happened before the 'ending' happens and trying to make it all flow well. But I don't know if that's something folks would be interested in, especially since it's not really going to be like. Straight up smut. It's a heavy focus on Isaac and his emotions.

If I did that, at some point once I'm done with the requests I have now and some smaller wips, I'd heavily consider just having a 'series' of drabbles/oneshots set in the same uh...au? universe? as this ending, so that way I could finally put some other scenes out from this fanfic without having to make everything flow continuously and whatnot.

Yay? Nay? Bad idea? Good idea? Please let me know if you guys would be gucci with that

Unlock the writing well

Tomorrow is the last day of my Khmer New Year holidays!

I did not do as much cleaning as I thought I would, but considering what I did clean is still clean almost a week later, I’m taking it as a win anyway. Maybe I can start by trying to keep one room clean in the long term and then extend it to the rest of the flat? We’ll see. I have a feeling it’s going to depend a lot on what work is like this session anyway, in that last session was pretty hardcore on me.

It’s a little frightening because the conditions in my contract are pretty easy going compared to other offers I’ve seen, but they are still frankly too much for me...and, I’m having two double-level classes with the kinds and frankly, I have no idea how that’s going to go. Oh well. No need to work myself into a panic about it now, it’s already making it difficult enough to sleep x)

On the more positive side: I am roughly fifty percent done with the second draft of my SuperBat Big Bang fic!

So far it stands at about 40k words, and I think the final product should be around 80-90k long, though probably not more than that. (I did, at one point, think it might turn out to be 100k long, but I’ll be honest and say I’m not sad it looks to be a little bit shorter).

There are still things I’d like to touch up, bits and ends I want to add to enrich the story and make some transitions smoother, but let’s be real, I’m not sure I’ll have the strength for it in the end. Though I do have until June and I’ll be able to discuss it with my artist(s) once I know who they are (no later than the 18th of April, the mail said, which would make it the 19th at the latest for me). Overall, though there are a couple of scenes I’m a little dissatisfied by, I’m pretty happy with what I’ve produced in the past...uh...three weeks. Holly molly, I’m a little impressed at myself, here.

I’m also starting to wonder if and how I’ll cross post the story on platforms beside AO3—more specifically Dreamwidth and LJ, because, well, 80k (or more) is a bit of a monstrous size. The closest I have to that is Once more, with kissing, my big Digimon fic which is only 40k and already took… *goes to check* eight DW posts, plus the masterpost of links. Which would mean the SBB fic would require no less than sixteen entries, plus masterpost, which sounds just a little bit humongous. Not that I wouldn’t do it, but still. That’s a lot. So, I guess more thinking will be required.

Anyway, because I’ve reached such a convenient point in the SBB story (and because I can be a bit anal about how my excel spreadsheets work) I don’t feel like working on it more today, but I also feel like writing a little, so I might try and pick up one of my Napollya fics in progress, see if I can work on that a little. Also prepare stuff for my classes, but that’s a different pickle, and mostly finishing things up, anyway. The point I’m trying to make here is that the SBB fic is about transitioning, and my Napollya fics are most likely going to have trans!Napoleon Solo because I can do this and I seem to have finally figured out what I wanted to say about this particular experience of mine. Yay!

Anyway, I’m glad I managed to find my writing footing again, to be honest. 2018 was a tiny years in terms of writing: less than 20k words published that year (though the AO3 stats count 80k because I updated an old multichapter and it counts the entire work). Considering I’d published 110k worth of fic in 2017, that was a bit of an abrupt decline, and not a funny year for my writerly soul. I guess I just needed to figure myself and what I wanted to say out, though, and quite possibly ride the waves of my coming out before I managed to focus on anything else.

I’m not sure where I’m going with these last two paragraphs, to be honest. This has turned more rambling than I thought it would, though in my defense I’m a little tired x)

TL;DR: I did a Big Write during my holidays and now I’m Smile.

[fandammit]

Hello, so you are an An Awesome Writer™ - sincerely, you rock! So that all of your readers can shower you with some extra love today, please tell us your favourite five (or as many as you want) stories of yours and why you like them?

Yay, thank you anon! I actually got this ages ago but wanted to wait until I finished “Loss...” which, you know, took fooooorever. But now that it’s done, here we are! 

1.Loss like the sharp edges of a knife // On Ao3[The Punisher // Frank Castle-centric with major Kastle feels, nine parts]

I was quite honestly stunned with the depth and complexity that we got from The Punisher, and specifically from Frank himself and the way that Jon played him. Of course, that left me with a huge desire to explore what Frank building his after would look like. Thus, this fic! This fic has a few nice distinctions for me. First, at 33.6K words it is officially the longest fic I’ve ever written. Secondly, it’s the first multichapter fic I’ve managed to finish in over a year. Finally, it’s one where I feel like I’ve really connected with a lot of people and gotten just so much feedback and support on. It’s honestly my favorite fic that I’ve written to date.

2. An Alchemy of Stardust // On Ao3[The 100 // Kabby Witch AU, five parts]

I’ve written a few AUs for the Kabby fandom, but this is the only one I’ve ever finished. That probably has something to do with the fact that it’s also probably my favorite Kabby fic that I’ve ever written. Being able to blend sci-fi and fantasy -- my two favorite genres -- together in one story was such a joy for me. The sequel is still a WIP, languishing somewhat but not forgotten by any means. This also has a super special place in my heart because it’s the story that, over a YEAR AGO, helped me to become friends with @shefollowedfires, who is now one of my truest BFFs. 

3. 15 Ways to Build a Life // On Ao3[The 100 // Genfic with Kabby background, post S2, oneshot]

This holds a special place in my life as being the second fic that I ever wrote for the Kabby fandom -- long before I even had this account. It also incorporates all of my favorite kabby fic things -- kabby being everyone’s parents, the post s2 time jump period, delinquent shenanigans, everyone in camp knowing about kabby, the everyday minutia of just living. I love exploring the idea of rebuilding/building a life, and I love exploring the smaller moments of living and healing and calm, and I sometimes feel like I never captured that all in my Kabby fic as well as I did in this fic. 

4. Tender // On Ao3[Stranger Things // Eleven-centric and dad!Hopper feels with background Jopper if you squint, one shot]

Apparently, I am just very much interested in the ways in which people build their after, ha! As big of a Jopper shipper as I am (and I am way into them), I’m also just as interested in the father-daughter relationship between Hopper and Eleven, which is what I explored in this fic. Eleven and Hopper are just such lost and lonely and traumatized individuals who have had these very vital familial relationships either ripped away from them or twisted into something cruel, so I wanted a story that explored them finding healing and safety and family in one another. 

5. I dream of you (more often than I don’t) // On Ao3[Six of Crows // Kaz x Inej, post Crooked Kingdom, two parts]The Six of Crows/Crooked Kingdom duology is not only one of my favorite YA series, it’s probably just one of my favorite series, ever. It features a diverse, ragtag cast of criminals, female friendships, ladies being awesome and one of my all-time favorite OTPS - Inej x Kaz. This same scenario has been ficc’ed to death, but I just really liked how this ended up. I’m very much into thinking of the ways in which love heals and even though this is just the very beginning of that, I liked thinking about/writing about these two traumatized kids trying to figure it all out.
