i was tagged by @lidrens for this wip folder meme :3

RULES: make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! then tag as many people as you have WIPs.

i dont actually have a wip folder. my entire gdrive is my wips folder. but uhh anyway lets go:

half empty or half full, either way it's just 1/2

do you regret it yet? / you ever been in so much pain you invent praying? (side story to ^)

nightmare / you find yourself in a void

hard to be a good person (when you're hardly a person at all)

heroine

dragon's son

okay lets see. im not getting 6 but 3 of those are real wips so. @composeregg @playtwewy @odysseys-blood . im sure more of you people have wips. feel free to say i tagged you <3

I was tagged by @arofili, thanks! Would it really be the end of the year if not for self-promo-y fanfic writing ask games. This ask isn’t really centered around the past year, but I’m going to be answering some questions specifically for this year because why not

Name: Chi Chi, and I’m also Buffintruder on ao3

Fandoms: I am definitely am not the kind of person that sticks to one fandom to write fic in, but this year, I’ve written the most fma fics so I guess that’s my biggest one. Second place goes to Bartimaeus

Where you post: pretty much only ao3, but if you look through the ‘my writing’ tag on my tumblr, there’s a couple short things I haven’t posted on ao3 there

Most Popular One-shot: Both for this year and of all time, Reunion is my most popular one shot (the Untamed from Lan Sizhui’s pov). Which is ironic because it originally was a tumblr post that I only put on ao3 because it got so popular and i figured why not

Most Popular Multichap: For the longest time, Angus McDonald and the Case of the Soul Stealer was the top fic in every way, and it still holds enough weight to win the most popular multichaptered fic I’ve ever written, but just counting this year’s stats, my canon era Greedling fic Truth In the Eye of the Beholder wins

Favorite story you’ve written so far: the favorite story I’ve written this year is probably also Truth In the Eye of the Beholder. I worked very hard on it and am very pleased with how it turned out. It was also just generally a very fun process. I’m also just very proud of Quiet Heart, Hollow Body (a Guardian fic) because it’s the first romance thing I’ve ever written that I actually feel proud of

Fic you were nervous to post: For this year, probably my Solomon/Uraziel fic Perihelion. It was done for a fic exchange, so there’s already a bit of pressure to make it good because its for a specific person. Plus it was a romance which is not exactly my wheelhouse. Also I only had a month to finish it in and it ended up being almost 25k words long, so it did not go through nearly as much editing

How do you choose your titles: Uh... I either come up with the perfect title after lots of consideration (every once in a while), find a song lyric that works more or less alright (more and more this past year), or just pick up some sort of theme or concept that roughly summarizes the fic and sounds kind of cheesy but gets the point across well enough (like probably half my fics)

Do you outline: Ish? I tend to start writing a fic, then just jot down a few notes at the beginning of the doc when i come up with ideas that don’t fit the part I’m writing currently. If I’m working on a longer fic, I sometimes have a separate document for the outline which usually consists almost entirely of random notes for future plot or characterization I need to go back and add to the story plus a detailed timeline of when the events happen so I dont mix thing up

Complete: Almost all of my fics are complete, but not one Eposette fic that I posted the first chapter of and will most likely never finish (even though someone commented on it and inspired me for like a week to want to finish it..... rip)

In progress: The only fic that is currently incomplete on ao3 and I have actual plans of finishing is the Susan Sto Helit goes to Hogwarts fic. There isn’t a lot of overarching plot to it so I’m writing it as I go and I have a few more bits that I’ve started writing in that universe. I’ll get around to posting more eventually

Coming soon/not yet started: I’m just counting this as ‘coming soon to ao3′ because I really don’t want to think about the fics I want to write but haven’t started yet (but honestly, I just got pretty into Ace Attorney, and I think the next fic I start will probably be that)

I don’t know how soon I’ll finish any of these because I haven’t been writing a whole lot recently, but these fics I have closest to finishing. All of them are at the “i need to finish the last scene then do a bunch of editing and then it will be done” stage

1. An fma fic where Greed gets reincarnated when his soul floats off as he dies. Sort of outsider pov fic where he watches Ed give a lecture on human transmutation and gets his memories back

2. A Trobed Community fic from Frankie’s pov, basically 4 times Frankie heard about Troy and one time she actually met him

3. A Les Mis/Elisabeth crossover in which Grantaire flirts with the personification of Death. But like in a depressing way. (I actually was writing more of this before i stopped to do this prompt hah)

Prompts?: I’ve taken like.... two prompts this year that ended up being the same Bartimaeus cryptid au fic on ao3. I’m not against receiving prompts because who knows what might inspire me, and I’ve reblogged prompt memes a couple times, but generally I don’t do them a lot

Upcoming work you’re most excited about: My Lucifer au maybe?? It’s very far from being finished and I am not entirely sure if I’ll ever post it, but I’ve been thinking about it more recently and there really are things in it that I am very excited about so I hope I do manage to get it done

I tag @midnight-mismanagement  @gallus-rising @cirth-ithil @incognito-archon, if you want to !
