#Writing Is Life

My Pokemon Scarlet AU that asks the question:

What if Arven was a member of team star?

[for-a-longlongtime]

Yay we made it through 2023!

The end of Dec always feels hard to me; generally, I just want it to be over with so I can start with a new year. But I do want to take a moment to acknowledge the good things this year brought me.

When starting 2023, I'd felt creatively dead and emotionally empty for a good 3 years (lot of bad stuff happened). I was surprised when this silly Tiktok meme of a guy in a car with Nic Cage kept popping up and making me smile. My wife told me 'Hey, you should watch that movie, it's fun and that actor is great'. After a deep dive into Pedro's filmography (Joel really sealed the deal for me, my god) and getting sucked into this fandom with Met Gala, I eventually ended up here on Tumblr. And damn, has it been a wild ride, these past five months.

I'm so grateful for all the people I've gotten to know here, friendships that developed, the absurd amount of fic I've read, but perhaps most of all how a combination of those three things led me to write 'for fun' again for the first time in many years. Academia, medical leave, and life shit basically had stomped that completely out of my system - not to mention wrecked any confidence I had about my skills and most of my self esteem. So goddamn, it sure as hell was a surprise to suddenly find myself with all these fic ideas and then actually following through with them, thanks to everybody's support!

Over the past months, I posted Pt 1 of 'Nothing That I Didn't Know' (Frankie x Santi x reader) and I'm currently working on pt 2, which hopefully will be ready some time in the next week. I also put up snippets of a Rockford/Peña WIP that ended up becoming a much bigger storyline than I expected, and I'm really excited to start putting out proper chapters in probably Feb/March!

It's the first time that I have a group of friends (who are also writers) around me who have been so encouraging, who help me brainstorm and prod at new ideas, review my writing and give me advice, and overall just make this whole process of creation something that is fun and exciting. Especially @legendary-pink-dot, @sin-djarin, @imalrightllama, @magpiepills and @morallyinept! I can't even express in words how much your friendship and support means to me, not to mention how you're constantly helping me to become better at writing down what I want to convey - either directly through your advice, or leading by example with your own work. 💜

But even beyond the people named above, there are SO many of you for whose friendship I'm so grateful, or who I simply am so excited about to be mutuals with, or whose writing has just affected me in so many ways! I'm always worried about leaving out people by accident when I start tagging, so please, if you read this: I am grateful for knowing you and hanging out here with you here (or on Discord)! MWAH.

Drinking coffee from my favorite mug while working on my new fic, I hope to finish it soon. Thank y'all for your support and patience! I love you so much!👉👈🖤

Fanfiction Is Real Writing

Fanfiction is real writing. As long as you’re not selling it, I don’t care what you do.             Hi, I’m Helen. Thrice published author. Purveyor of lost fruit. I don’t do much fan fiction, but I’ve had tons of people meet me, get excited, say “I write too!” and then naturally I ask “Oh, what do you write!?” Because I really do want to know! Then they get embarrassed and say “Oh well, it’s…

It hits you one night like a train wreck. Laying in your bed, listening to your parents talking about whatever they used to talk back then. It was nothing important.

But still it was your dad who tried so hard to overpower your mother after every word she uttered. Probably, he thought, it is correcting her in good faith, straightening the ways of her silly, little brain. Wanting to be right through whatever means available.

He was never violent. It hits you.

He was blind.

[lis4ux]

I will write anywhere

[thatstrangegiiirrlll]

Hey luvss <3 I went ghost for a little bit, but I’m back at it again. My requests will be open in the next couple days. I really missed my little blog and I have so much content to post now — Ash

if the eye is the window to the soul, then writing is the thought of the soul. When i read a book i can feel the author's mind inside it, like a living person trapped in the pages, moving through the words. i want to trap myself in a story. i want to lay down my worries and hopes for someone else to see.

[ksbbb]

Sometimes I look at my writing and think …yeah this is not going to cut it and then proceed to delete it all. 4K words and I still don’t like it. Maybe I need to redo it. Like all my fics 🤣. Ksbbb troubles

[cloudysideblog]

I finally was able to finish the part 6 of my Big Fan serie.

I want to keep up and update but I just am so overworked with work in general.

When I have free time. I sleep...or try to see friends or have to do all that stupid adult stuff 🙄

But writing is such a bottle of joy for me. I get lost in the words and I can't stop my fingers to type and I love it. I love to create my little worlds and put them on the paper.

My dream to be a writer is sooooo intense these days. So I'll stay focus on the dream and keep writing

Carriedreamer's current fic to do list / future published short stories on archive for 2024 early 2025

Pokemon Scarlet Violet:

Multi-Chap

1. "Supernova":

Chapter 5: Be prepared

Chapter 6: How Far I'll go

Rating: T

Read here:

2. "Frozen Revenant"

"Let me tell you somethin' kid, there's worse things on those mountains than a pissed off Pokemon... never stray from the trail. Ever."

Arven Sada and Juliana Scarlet are that odd duo who claim to be just friends but they end up locking lips a little too much for this to be really believable anymore.

But when a shiny hunt up in the peaks of Glasdeo leads the two to come across a mysterious mansion hidden in the snow with an injured Froslass in tow, it's soon apparent there is something far more sinister than a mere blizzard at play here... and his little buddy's life may very well depend on Arven finding his courage amongst the ghosts that surround him.

Inspired by "Until Dawn" the video game and "Bluebeard" by Charles Perrault

Begun: 10.8.2024- Part of Halloween ( Carrie-tober)

Read here:

Oneshots:

1. "Applin Dumpling"

2. "The Flat"

In which a misunderstanding between Penny and Nemona over an Applin results in chaos.

Rating: T

Of course there was only one solution to the Crater Crew all graduating but not wanting to go "home" or in some cases having no real home to go to. Be roommates of course!

How bad could it possibly be?

Rating: T

3. "Dragon's Breath"

Drayton is very amused by the chaos that is the Arven and Juliana nuptials happening all around him...but nothing is more entertaining than watching their very rigid and far too *stiff* bean pole of an emcee Kieran trying to figure out his speech.

Rating: T

Pokemon ( All Gens )

1. "A deals a deal"

Once upon a time there was a boy who climbed up a mountain... and once upon a time the boy did not climb down.

I feel like a fake sometimes as a writer/author because of how I "organize" my work. Simply using ColorNotes app instead of carrying a notebook everywhere with me.

Well, I'm here to boink my head and anyone else's that feels this way. The process for everyone is different and unique to them.

Go be your weird little goblin self and write.

[makeyoumine69]

I think writing is my only cure for all my physical and mental pain.

What Kind of Author Do You Want to Be?

            By posing this question I don’t mean “Do you want to write fantasy or erotic-romance. You’ve got to pick one because I’m sick of this plot in my sex— Er uh! Sex in my plot! Plot!” I mean, “what kind of presence do you want to be in the greater community?” I’ve been in the book world since I was fourteen. I’ve worked with all kinds of people from all creeds, and the only ones with any…
