What can you tell me about your wip Haints Holler ?
@wyked-ao3 Haints Holler is a paranormal fiction/romance set in Appalachia in a fictive town/county called Puck.
We follow Winnie, a witch sealed to the mountains herself along with the matriarch of her family and all the women before her. In events prior to the story, she found herself bound to the spirit/minor god known as Forest, who had called the woods and mountains around her holler home for centuries.
Winnie, Forest (begrudgingly) and the rest of the Kidd clan attempt to solve a sudden series of murders and missing person/animal cases that are rocking the town and finding a way to fight a not so dead dark entity that has risen again.
The idea itself has been in the works for years but the podcast Old Gods of Appalachia really pushed me to explore the idea of “alternate Appalachia” and the idea of dark things under the mountain.
(It is truly a masterpiece and I would recommend it to any HP lovecraft/cuthullu horror fans as well as people who enjoy paranormal in general.)
The Kidd family is (very loosely) based on my paternal family and some of the stories I grew up hearing as well as superstitions that have been shared with me through the years.
There’s a magic system that is based around knots and quilting and a holler “quilting circle” that often takes care of things around the holler.
Forest is a little shit who lusts for power and a physical body and gets (rightfully) stuck cleaning up human messes.
Anthropomorphic mountain spirit who is in love with granny Kidd.
Southern/Appalachian shade being thrown by old women on porches.
Murder.
All dogs/animals mentioned live.
Accidental life partner to lovers.
Yeah, that pretty much covers it 😂 any other specific questions, I’ll gladly answer.

hii do u have any new remadora centric projects coming up? Alsoo when do u think u’d get the tonks amnesia story posted? Love ur work btw!!
helloooooooo anon! let me tell you about some of the projects I have that feature Remadora. I have very few Remadora-only longfics on the back burner. Most of my longfics are Remadora + another couple or two. Let me talk about those first and then I'll get to the Tonks amnesia fic. Lots more under the cut.
Most likely to be posted first: longfic, slow burn Tedromeda & Remadora. Slow burn Tedromeda heavy in the first half, slower burn Remadora heavy in the second half.
Most likely to be posted second: longfic, time travel Remadora & Blackbolt. Tonks and Kingsley go back to the late 70s and hijinks ensue.
Most likely to be posted third: longfic, time travel Tedoire & Remadora. Teddy, Victoire, Albus, and Scorpius go back in time to the early 90s and grapple with the past. Teddy accidentally plays wingman for his father.
Those projects each have about 20k words written, so that's why they're likelier to be posted first. Now let's get to more Remadora-centric fics that I don't have a schedule for yet because I've still got to do a LOT of planning, plot-wise.
Tonks amnesia fic: I've got the beginning done but I'm not sure where to go with it just yet.
Remadora meets earlier: I had a thought to introduce Tonks to Remus when he's a professor in PoA, but it's just a thought for now
Finally, the projects that are on hold that I wish I had the mental energy to finish:
Cariad. I am seriously considering wrapping it up with a couple more chapters and calling it done. There was one more subplot I was thinking of putting in, but I need to be realistic with my time.
A Changing Pack. The reason I'm struggling with it is that I've got Remadora in a pretty good place and now it's time to shift focus to Harry and Hinny, and I struggle big time with writing Harry.
In addition to these longfics, I've got a lot of ideas for microfics and one-shots. These are at the very bottom of my priorities, just because I usually write them in one sitting. Inspiration strikes, I get my computer, and type until I'm done.
So anon, I hope this mostly answers your question. I DO have Remadora projects - all my longfics have Remadora in them - but purely Remadora-centric pieces are second on my list.

2023 Writing Goals
I started off 2022 with two works to my name on AO3, and now I have eight. This year, I’m not as interested in growing the number of works as I am in completing those works. In no particular order:
Finish “ACOFAE” ft. Feycien
My very first fanfic. As of this writing, I am 37 chapters in, and I’d like to finish it by the end of the year. I was averaging about a chapter a week, then got burned out and went to the hospital for pneumonia. (Correlation, not causation.) Anyway, back in 2021, I thought I could write a quick fic in 20 chapters, then thought surely 40 would do it. Welp. Here’s hoping it doesn’t take more than 60!
Finish “A Garden of Thorns” ft. Brilin
I wrote one chapter in a day based on an intriguing prompt, then basically dropped it because I didn’t know how to make it work with an original Beauty and the Beast story I had started writing a couple years ago. I have more experience now, though, and I think I can make it work.
Finish an as-yet-unpublished fic “Worth Fighting For” ft. Elucien
I have really enjoyed writing Elucien this winter, and I promised a friend I would write an ACOWAR AU in which Lucien goes after Elain when she gets taken by the Cauldron. So that I don’t leave people hanging like I have so many times, I’m writing it before publishing it, and then it will be released on a regular schedule.
Expand on and finish “I Will See You Again” ft. Feylin
I had so many requests to expand on that one-shot, when I thought it was just that: a one-shot. But so many people want to see my unhinged version of Amarantha after Feyre actually breaks the original spell. Which leads me to...
Write an Amarantha backstory and/or a Tamlin backstory
Why did Amarantha become so obsessive over Tamlin? I have some ideas I want to explore, but time constraints have been a factor. I’d like to explore that idea this year. :)
I’m working on some original fiction that I’d like to self-publish in addition to working on fanfiction, but I don’t know if I’ll be promoting it here or not. It’s on the lighter, romantic, fairy tale side of fantasy instead of the darker stuff that attracted me to ACOTAR. I know ACOTAR doesn’t get that dark, but considering that characters bleed on the page, I’m counting it. If anyone is interested in learning more about my fairy tale retellings, feel free to visit my inbox. :)
I have more ideas I’d like to visit eventually, but these are the big ones for this year. Thanks @isterofimias for the inspiration to write them down!

this is just my opinion but i think any good media needs obsession behind it. it needs passion, the kind of passion that's no longer "gentle scented candle" and is now "oh shit the house caught on fire". it needs a creator that's biting the floorboards and gnawing the story off their skin. creators are supposed to be wild animals. they are supposed to want to tell a story with the ferocity of eating a good stone fruit while standing over the sink. the same protective, strange instinct as being 7 and making mud potions in pink teacups: you gotta get weird with it.
good media needs unhinged, googling-at-midnight kind of energy. it needs "what kind of seams are invented on this planet" energy and "im just gonna trust the audience to roll with me about this" energy. it needs one person (at least) screaming into the void with so much drive and energy that it forces the story to be real.
sometimes people are baffled when fanfic has some stunning jaw-dropping tattoo-it-on-you lines. and i'm like - well, i don't go here, but that makes sense to me. of fucking course people who have this amount of passion are going to create something good. they moved from a place of genuine love and enjoyment.
so yeah, duh! saturday cartoons have banger lines. random street art is sometimes the most precious heart-wrenching shit you've ever seen. someone singing on tiktok ends up creating your next favorite song. youtubers are giving us 5 hours of carefully researched content. all of this is the impossible equation to latestage capitalism. like, you can't force something to be good. AI cannot make it good. no amount of focus-group testing or market research. what makes a story worth listening to is that someone cares so much about telling it - through dance, art, music, whatever it takes - that they are just a little unhinged about it.
one time my friend told me he stayed up all night researching how many ways there are to peel an orange. he wrote me a poem that made me cry on public transportation. the love came through it like pith, you know? the words all came apart in my hands. it tasted like breakfast.
#warm up#writeblr#actually this is because again i don't go here#i don't read/write fanfic but i have nothing but respect for my troops#but i also have never played minecraft. im sorry. please ask me any question about pokemon tho i love that shit#anyway#out of some banal and thoughtless curiosity i watched the minecraft movie trailer#and again i know nothing about minecraft. i am aware im in an endangered population#but im watching this going: this is so fucking.... BAD#there is NO LOVE in it!#like if someone who has NO history in minecraft watches that and is like - ohhh this is soulless#WHO IS THE AUDIENCE????#ppl who love minecraft are gonna hate it!!!#at some point it's the ''mean girls musical movie'' problem --#some people will always hate the premise of what you're doing and some people will love it#make it for the ppl who love it#and usually that somewhat convinces the haters to like. chill enough to TRY it . bc it IS good#but when you try to make it for the haters..... nobody likes it. it doesn't have passion. energy. footwork#which is a small way of saying a big thing: if you love something. fucking make it and assume someone will love it too.#i love u . be brave . be bold. be in boston and come to my reading#where i wrote a really weird fucked up little book.#love u love u love u etc

Some small details for a character learning sword fighting for the first time:
- sore wrists
- blisters on hands
- every movement opens you up to be hit
- they will hit the tops of their arm and own sides with the sword while learning
- there is a primal sixth sense when you know you’re being toyed with
And, for your typically nonviolent characters.
You don’t aim for the swords. You aim for the person holding the sword.
It sounds so obvious but needs to be accepted. Actively. When holding a sword you have to understand you’re attacking another person. Even to block you have to aim your blocks at the other person or they won’t be strong enough to actually protect yourself.
#writing tips#sword fighting#idk if these are TIPS but they’re details you can feel free to use!!#also I started German Longsword fighting!#it’s fun!#they gave me a sword immediately when I walked in#asked for my name about 30 minutes later lol

Are you gonna post any new remadora projects in the very near future? like maybe a week or so? Absolutely no pressure btw! You can take as much time as you need, (not that you need any justification for what time u’ll finish since its your work anyway) but i just absolutely adore your work and remadora and when u mix your work + remadora it is absolute perfection so i was just wondering if u have any works that would be published soon:)) again no pressure and i love ur work!!
Thanks for the ask, anon, and for your kind words!
New Remadora projects? Yes.
Very near future? No.
I'm going to finish Moonlit Marriage first, Cariad second, and then start on new projects. A Changing Pack is my horcrux. I will get to it when I get to it.
As far as new Remadora projects, which I have beginnings of:
A Remadora soulmate fic
A Remadora and Blackbolt time travel fic
A Tedoire time travel fic (with background Remadora)
A Remadora amnesia fic (from Tonks's POV)
I would say that the Remadora/Blackbolt one is likeliest to come next. No promises though!

What Am I Writing These Days? #3
It's been waaaay too long since I last did one of these. To be fair, I spent most of this year writing one story in particular(which you find [url=https://archiveofourown.org/works/48347773]here[/url]) so there haven't been a lot of new ideas coming in.
I have been very slowly adding on to Storm Kids; it's not as interesting as it was four years ago when I started it! I updated with a new chapter on AO3 recently though, and I know where I'm going with it. I'll finish! I will!
Updates are also incoming for Moon Age, I swear, but I don't think I can muster a lot of energy for DBZ after I spent so many months writing for the Big Bang. It's still an AU I love a lot.
I've been writing a lot of Kamen Rider fic, but basically none of it is presentable... I'm deeply grateful to everyone who reads and leaves kudos on my Goto/Eiji fic, y'all make me feel more confident! At the moment I'm doing pre-work for some post-canon OOO fic, in the form of simple character interactions. I'm determined to write something about Izumi Shingo, but his character moments are countable on one hand so I'm kinda winging it(pun intended). My main goals writing OOO fic is to explore Eiji living without Ankh, as I've noticed a lack of that in fandom. I want the OOO family to grieve but also live, and to show how Ankh touched all of their lives.
I've been writing self-indulgent Zero-One fic in the form of FuwaHiden domestic fluff. Whenever I write something and it's not presentable, I just tell myself it's training. I think my feelings about Hibiki are gonna force me to write post-canon fic for that as well(whyyy is everything going so wrooong??).
I've been asked(By Anthony DP Mann) to write something about Takeshi Hongo. I have a few ideas bouncing around in my head now that I've seen Shin Kamen Rider and more episodes of the old show(thank you Keelin for the livestream back in May). At the moment I have: A dialogue prompt that seems to only lead to smut("Can you feel this?") and a couple of ideas stemming from fanart I saw(70s Riders meet their Shin counterparts and some bug love bites). I've also been pitched a western-esque story about an aging Hongo looking for a meaningful end, but I'd rather hand that off to someone who knows him better. In general, I just don't think I know Mr Hongo well enough to write him yet.
Something that's going well(almost too well) is my Stray Kids Power Rangers AU. It's made for a surprisingly fun sandbox to try a lot of my ideas, but it's also a little hard to focus. I've started sharing the story with some friends via email, as I don't intend to put it up on A03 until I finish Storm Kids. Another unintended consequence of creating a tokusatsu-verse is that I'm now determined to make Monsta X into Kamen Riders. For both of those I still have a lot of development work to do(designing costumes and weapons, creating catchphrases, poses and special moves, etc.) but like. It's so fun.
#please do ask me about my ooo fic#actually#just#ask me about my writing#questions help#my writing#my ao3#long post#fanfiction#dbz#kamen rider#kamen rider ooo#kpop
