An update about my fic writing.

So to any of you that still follow me for my fic writing please know I've decided to give up writing and posting.

The truth is that interaction here has now become so low that it really isn't worth the time and effort it takes to write, edit and post. I write for me, I post it for you guys but at the end of the day when I get absolutely no interaction other than people hitting the like button and moving on, it makes me feel bad about myself. My thoughts are always that clearly it wasn't good enough otherwise people would say they enjoyed it, or it made them feel something, or anything. I, like most writers here, pour our heart, soul and our free time into fic writing, and it's sad to scream into the void and honestly just makes me feel bad about myself. I just can't sit around feeling like I'm not good enough anymore.

I have very little free time on my hands and I love writing, it's a huge outlet for me, but posting here is just not worth the sad it brings me now.

To those of you that have outstanding requests with me I can only apologise and offer to pass your requests to some of the best fanfic authors I know who will do them justice.

My Tumblr will stay open, my master list will stay posted, I just will no longer be adding to it.

Thank you to all of you who have supported and interacted with my writing this far.

Micro Writing Notes:

Re: The False Golden Guard … Again

Is a bastard to write.

Seriously, I now know for sure when they will be unmasked… but they definitely walk away with the chapter every time they show…

(Totally want to drop another song here, but it might be spoilers)

November writing goal #1: DONE now to #2: finish this story, which I will hopefully be able to do this month!! Start in November, finish in November!

just how many words does a girl gotta go through for Benson and Melissa to catch this cat?

[the-coffee-fandom]

Thanks to @abyssal-ali for the tag! This took so long to compile lol

Rules: Go to your published works on AO3 and list the first fic you ever published there, the last fic you published, any fic that you wrote for a fandom/ship only once, your favorite fic you wrote in the fandom/ship that has the most works, the fic you wish more people read, the fic you agonized over the most, the fic that sprang fully formed from your mind without any effort, and a work you are proud of—for whatever reason.

Uh oh 😅

❥ My first fic was actually a disgustingly long word doc that glitched out my computer and someone deleted 😔 just for a fun fact ✨

❥ My first fic would be Will you be my fairy tale?

𓍊𓋼𓍊 Agents of SHEILD 𓍊𓋼𓍊

❀ Daisy Johnson/Daniel Sousa

✐ Set in 7x07, beginning of 8. Daisys in the healing chamber and Daniel Sousa decided to stay there with her. Just a cute little snippet of what he was up to while he was waiting for Daisy to arise from her slumber/healing.

❥ Last fic published was Dreaming Of Anemone (though my last work published was HaiBOO but it’s an original work)

𓍊𓋼𓍊 Maribat 𓍊𓋼𓍊

❀ Bio dad au

✐ The Wayne's might have been public figures, but there's a lot of mysteries behind those grand closed doors. Mr. Wayne for one was quite suspicious. They were hiding something and Marinette would figure out what. Even if it exposed a secret or two. Identities weren't the only thing they were hiding.

Flowers can kill after all.

❥ A fic with a ship I’ve only written once is Coming Home To Peaceful Disaster

𓍊𓋼𓍊 Maribat 𓍊𓋼𓍊

❀ Luka Couffaine/Marinette Dupain-Cheng/Damian Wayne

✐ Damian is so tired, all he wants to do is come home, have a cup of his girlfriends famous hot chocolate, and fall asleep in his loves arms.

But this isn’t too bad either.

❥ My favorite fic. That’s a hard one. I think it have to be Dreaming of Anenome despite its incomplete status but since that one’s already on this list I’ll promote another: Death Bouquet

𓍊𓋼𓍊 Maribat 𓍊𓋼𓍊

❀ Cassandra Cain/Marinette Dupain-Cheng

✐ It's hard to figure out whom your heart longs for when you've spent so long ignoring it. Letting the flowers bloom in your throat as you struggle to breath always left wondering.

Marinette lived her days in Pairs, her eyes on Adrien. But...was that truly what her heart wanted? Or was it a face she hadn't seen in a long time but still haunted her thoughts like the scorch marks left after a fire.

❥ The fic I wish more people would read is Rose Gold Eyes

𓍊𓋼𓍊 Maribat 𓍊𓋼𓍊

❀ Selina Kyle/Marinette Dupain-Cheng

✐ The rooftops were often silent at night, the streets were where havoc rained.
The rooftops were often silent at night, a cat endlessly chasing darkness.
The rooftops were often silent at night, and so that’s where she lay.
The rooftops were often silent at night, so was her suffering.

❥ The fic I agonized the most over is literally any fic in my Flowers Aren’t Always A Love Language series (especially Dreaming of Anenome) because I always try to put as much flower language in as possible to put a story within the story. Otherwise it’s An Angel With Demons Wings. I wrote that to get back into writing after a tough time and put a lot of pressure to get it perfect for my wonderful friend @tylindel whom I love. I did a lot of dancing research and made art to go with it.

𓍊𓋼𓍊 Maribat 𓍊𓋼𓍊

❀ Damian Wayne/Marinette Dupain-Cheng

✐ “They call you a demon but all I’ve ever seen in you was an angel.”

“Even in my worst moments?”

“An angel with anger issues.”

❥ The easiest fic is From Your Favorite Chaos Gremlins. I was spouting ideas like a sprinkler and was really ahead of my writing partners to the point they couldn’t keep up with me. I got overexcited and wrote all but one line of the second chapter. Of course this fic has ended early despite all the ideas left over as authors split so it remains forever unfinished.

𓍊𓋼𓍊 Maribat 𓍊𓋼𓍊

❀ Platonic Marinette Dupain-Cheng & Tim Drake & Damian Wayne

✐ Family is defined as a group of people related to one another by blood or marriage.

None of them were related by blood nor marriage nor any magical force, only their own love for one another.

Family to them was each other.

And all it takes is a pinch of coffee and a whole lot of chaos.

On the streets of Gotham, the chaos gremlins reign.

❥ A work I’m proud of is Hold Me Tight Till Morning Light. Originally written for the lovely @tylindel ’s birthday, I wasn’t sure how much I liked it though but @tree-reads really helped my confidence in it with her appreciation of it and it makes me love it too. Otherwise it be Dreaming of Anenome or anything in my Flowers series because I work hard on them and I love hanahaki so much.

𓍊𓋼𓍊 Maribat 𓍊𓋼𓍊

❀ Damian Wayne/Marinette Dupain-Cheng

✐ Sometimes your demons take control of your body and mind, you never had full authority over yourself as your plagued with memories time and time again, filling your head with thoughts you'd rather rid. Sleepless nights were always in the cards. But that's why there's always your rope, your light, your love, your life, that will be there to pull you back from the darkness.

OR

3 times Damian helped Marinette with her demons and one time he didn't have to.

what’s crazy to me abt that anon is ur literally the only blog on here that i actually get so pumped when there’s a new fic 😭😭 like ur writing style scratches such an itch for me, ive read every critical role fic youve posted and ive literally never watched a single eps of critical role LMAO

like ur writing is genuinely good. youre able to portray characterization sooooo well that for me, critical role is literally thebest_medicine show. ur a great writer and that anon genuinely confused me bc im not sure they know how to read lol

this is such a sweet message to read omfg ok… thank you so much first of all.

me getting this tattoo’d on my eyelids lmao

ALSO though there’s quite a few other bangers of fics / writers out there for critical role but omg that is such a sweet and wonderful compliment thank you!

One of my favourite things to do to my characters- particularly ones that have killed a lot- is make them incredibly morally neutral.

More info under cut, including more violence.

For example, Slasher Sans, is so very morally neutral and basically gives no fucks. If he can justify murdering someone, then he'll kill that person. He just... doesn't care?

It's one of the reasons he works so well with the Bad Sanses- though there are times where Slasher can't find any reason to kill the people he's killing so he'll just sit back.

Dream doesn't count, though. After all, Dream is literally Slasher's target, and the only reason he continues to exist is due to his current task of murdering Dream.

Another example is a Sans I don't think I've mentioned on this, named Amity.

Amity is from a place called Amitytale, which essentially is a very violently peaceful AU. Offending a monster can get you killed if you're not careful.

Amity kills anyone he decides is justified to kill. Old, rich people that are absolute assholes to everyone? Dead. That entitled, racist Karen? Dead.

It was incredibly hard for him to adapt when he got tossed into the whole "Skelles in a house x reader" thing. He takes no shit, and has to constantly hold himself back from Fucking Shit Up.

He's a pretty chill guy, though.

yibbie i have ideas on how g corp gegor/rb gregor would work out

old g corp is doing stuffs with mirror worlds and they deicide to send g corp gregor over cuz idk hell do anything they tell him to do so its easy to send him over they send him over and the g corp in the mirror world hes sent to rejects him or something

hes gets dumped off in district 23 or gets sold

if he was getting sold i think hed get sold as like "specialty meat" but idk no one wants to buy him sense bug and also he probably wouldnt have much meat on him anyways cuz i think g corp gegor would be malnourished as hell R.B. would buy him sense hes really cheap and idk its still meat

g corp gregor will now be shorted to gcg cuz its kinda late and my head hurts and i dont wanan fucking type g corp gregor 3 million times

rb gregor wouldnt butcher gcg cuz they look really really similar and hes kinda fascinated by that rb gregor thinks gcg would be more useful for helping get meat rather than being meat himself so he decides to keep him alive

gcg works at R.B. for a while rb gregor starts to develop kinda a crush on gcg and they start dating yibbie

if hes just getting dumped off at district 23 i think gcg be in the alley way right behind/next to R.B. same stuff as if he was sold rb gregor doesnt kill him cuz they look really similar, rb gregor makes gcg help get meat, rb gregor starts to have a crush on gcg, they start dating

I've been listening to one Taylor Swift song on repeat all morning, and evidently that's decent muse fodder, so here is another little excerpt from the upcoming new and improved fic What Makes a Family.

(No the song doesn't have anything to do with what I was writing but nevertheless it was something to bop to)

~ ~ ~

The funeral passed as painfully as any other. Rose could feel the prickle of sympathetic stares directed at her and her kids, and she willed time to move faster. Listening to the eulogies was the worst, as Jimmy’s friends and family stood at the front of the church and spoke about how wonderful Jimmy was, how deeply he’d be missed, and the hole he’d left in the lives of everyone who knew him.

But finally, it was over. The only good thing about being a supposedly grieving partner was that she could gather up her kids and escape rather rudely without people actually thinking she was rude.

“Let’s go home,” she murmured to her kids, holding David and Matthew’s hands while she guided them away from the throng of people wanting to give her their last-minute sympathies and sorries.

She threw one final, lingering glance to the closed casket that concealed the broken body of her late boyfriend, her gaze flicking to the photograph of the blond man and the crooked smile that’d had her falling head over heels at sixteen.

Goodbye. I hope you’ve found peace, wherever you are.

Rose didn’t know what exactly she believed regarding an afterlife, but she hoped there was something. A realm of tranquility where the best of everyone shone through and there was no hurt or anger or resentment. Yeah, that sounded quite nice.

As she moved to turn fully away from the casket, her eyes landed on a middle aged woman who was sobbing uncontrollably into the chest of a middle aged man. Jimmy’s parents, whom she hadn’t seen or spoken to since that night in the hospital after Jimmy’s accident, when his mother had screamed and raged at her, hurling insults at her that had hit their mark and still stung, even days later.

She quickly looked away, not wanting to draw their attention, and continued ushering her boys out of the church.

~ ~ ~

This first chapter is the bottleneck of being able to start reposting the story, but I'm finally making some decent headway with it. Everything else should be fairly quick and easy to revise, since the bones of the chapters are already there. They just need new meat and sinew.

[cam-luminae6613]

Whelp. I am very bad at drawing, so I just used Nellseto's maker on picrew.me to make this picture of a character called Nyx in my book Welcome to Therapy, Sans(es). Please don't judge :/ Link>

I've been working on another Cliff fanfiction. I really wanna write more often but I feel really slow in doing so 🤔😭

Actually, I feel slow at everything. 🥺

Do you ever feel like there aren't enough hours in the day? I sure do.

But anyway, the fic is about Cliff walking in on the reader with their binky- leading to kind of an awkward situation. (Psst, he's very kind about it 💗) A pretty cliché agere plot, but that's okay. 😅👍

I have a few ideas in place, actually.

[jessytessytavi]

I come up with fuckin hilarious dialogue, godsdammit

"And you just fucking believed her? Without the basic fact-checking required for a fandom wiki article?"

[shamera]

on the one hand, i want to post snippets of what i'm working on because this is a lot of writing with no feedback to keep me going (and i don't know anyone to talk lotm with)

but on the other hand. spoilers.

sighs.

[illmetbymoonlight]

Got james wolfe on the brain today. Also started rewriting the first time they kiss and fuck. And I do want to start writing some of the stuff for him and Sam.

Annnnnnd I started reworking the major part where Lilith turns out to be a sleeper agent and tries to kill sam. And reworked some of the other stuff that takes place in 2022. Need to try and get all that rewritten and edited and posted so we can get some up to date stuff going with deimos and james (who joins Rainbow in April 2023). And I do have an idea for explosion and Harry's death that'll be super angst.

And of course the deimos possibly being lils dad plottwist. But I'm still uncertain about that since we still don't know much about deimos (like his age). So idk if imma make that canon yet or not.

don’t write a book. write a fanfiction.

explain yourself, you say.

first of all writing a fanfiction feels a lot less daunting than a book. there are already characters and names and places and plots and all these things are known by the audience. they require no explanation.

there’s no length requirement for a fic; it could be two paragraphs or a several thousand words. all acceptable.

fanfiction is built for the small moments, moments that I find lost in many books and series. the little, special moments. fanfic writers don’t skimp on quiet moments that make our hearts hurt because it’s so goddamn fluffy and sweet.

fanfiction is for writing about Dean and Sam in the laundromat, washing their gore-covered clothes.

It’s about Dean humming Metallica as he stuffs the sopping wet clothes into the drier, absentmindedly wondering if he can convince Sam to at least trim his bangs, while said younger brother is perched on top of the washing machine, a game of Rummy scattered in front of him on the dusty white surface, cards tucked between his fingers as he stares at his brother and wonders how Dean managed to end up in his hoodie.

fanfiction is characters over plot, their thoughts, their mindset, what makes them tick. what keeps them up at night. fanfic is about the person. the plot can wait.
