Ghost AU

Okay so I had an idea for an IDV AU. It's inspired by BBC Ghosts.

Alice works as an investigative journalist in modern days, but is a little down on her luck with getting cases. One day she finds out that she has inherited an estate called Oletus Manor from a distant family member. Apparently she is the last remaining DeRoss, and thus is the rightful owner of the manor.

Seeing she wouldn't have to pay rent living there, she decides to move out of her apartment and into the estate. However, she soon finds out that the manor is in quite a dilapidated state and would need a lot of restoration. There are some old furniture here and there, but it doesn't seem like anyone has lived there for ages. Still, she brings her belongings in and does some quick repairs, making it her new home. She tried to do some research of the manor's history, but couldn't find much about it.

What she doesn't realise is that her new home is full to the brim with ghosts; basically all the other playable characters. Long ago they had died during the manor games, and their spirits are all trapped within the confines of the property. They are not happy having Alice move into their territory and disturb their peace, and are doing their best to drive her away. That proves to be challenging as ghosts.

Alice cannot see the ghosts at first. There are a couple of strange occurrences, things seemingly switching places, noises coming from here and there etc. Alice, being a skeptic towards the supernatural, chokes this up to her misplacing things and that the house is old.

Then one day, Alice gets into an accident and becomes dead for half a minute or so, but gets resurrected again at the ER. Once she returns back to the manor, she can suddenly see and hear all the ghosts. Of course, she is shocked, confused and horrified over finding her home full of strangers who are dressed in old-timey attire. She goes through the motion of first thinking they are trespasser, which gets debunked as soon as she practically sticks her hand through one of them. Then she thinks she is hallucinating and tries to ignore them, but it gets harder and harder to deny that what she is seeing is real, and that there really are more between heaven and earth.

Meanwhile, the ghosts are still trying to drive her away, but soon more and more of them feel relieved to finally be seen by a living person, and they become hopeful that Alice might be able to help them. Something is keeping them in the manor and preventing their souls from moving on. They are convinced that Alice can solve this mystery and free their souls so they can finally rest.

Eventually, Alice comes to terms with her predicament of living in a haunted house, and she sits down with the ghosts and they start to talk things out. They make a deal; Alice will help them free their souls so they can move on, and she can have the manor for herself in return.

Alice starts digging deeper to find any information about the manor with the help of the ghosts. She also manages to retrieve information about each individual in various records and files as they seem to have lost some of their memories from staying in this place for so long.

The ghosts learn more about the modern world from Alice and are fascinated by all the innovations and changes (the image of them being in utter awe at anything with a screen is just too adorable. They can finally get some entertainment in their otherwise stagnant days).

Over time, Alice grows closer with the ghosts, and she comes to really like her new friends; of course, some are easier to get through to than others. While she befriends many, there are some who are still skeptical and cold towards her. But with patience, respect and kindness, they eventually warm up to her ever so slightly.

Audio Drama Recommendations, Pt. II

For part one, click here. I went on another audio drama binge and I found some that were pretty fun to listen to. I usually tend to go after the ones that are completed because the longer the wait, the more likely I will forget the details, but this time I just went for anything that caught my attention. This also isn’t in any particular order.

The Magnus Archives – is a horror fiction anthology podcast written by Jonathan Sims, directed by Alexander J. Newall, and distributed by Rusty Quill.

The new Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute, Jonathan Sims, attempts to bring a seemingly neglected collection of people’s testimonials of their encounters with the supernatural up to date, converting them to audio and supplementing them with follow-up work from his small but dedicated team. [COMPLETED]

It has five seasons, each 40 episodes long, as well as additional content such as Q&As, non-canon fan-submitted statements and one-off episodes that tie in with Rusty Quill's other podcasts.

It does start out slow and maybe at some point you’ll be wondering where is this going and what does some of these episodes have to do with the overall story, but it does all eventually connect. Your patience will pay off because once the build-up is done it picks up and things get really interesting!

Unwell – is a horror podcast starring Clarisa Cherie Rios and produced by Hartlife NFP.

The story follows Lillian Harper who has returned home to Mt. Absalom, Ohio to care for her estranged mother Dorothy after an injury. Living in the town's boarding house which has been run by her family for generations, she discovers conspiracies, ghosts, and a new family in the house's strange assortment of residents. [ONGOING]

This audio drama has five seasons which runs for 12 episodes. It currently has 54 episodes in total and each one is about 20-30 minutes long. New episodes are released fortnightly (biweekly) on Wednesdays. They take a mid-season break between episodes 6 and 7.

Bridgewater – is a supernatural thriller audio drama produced by Grim & Mild and by iHeartRadio, created by Aaron Mahnke and written/directed by Lauren Shippen.

Folklore professor Jeremy Bradshaw is pulled into the mysterious 1980 disappearance of his police officer father, Thomas, by new evidence that threatens to upend decades of certainty. Along the way, he’s helped by some unlikely partners who challenge everything he believes in, and ultimately tries to answer the question: can the past actually be rewritten?

Together with his father’s former partner, retired Detective Anne Becker, Jeremy must chase the clues that will tell him whether his father really did fall victim to a Satanic cult in the Bridgewater Triangle—or something much more dark and unexplainable. [ONGOING]

It has two seasons, the first consist of 10 episodes and the second has 12 episodes. Each one runs about 20-30 minutes long. Season three was put on hold when there was news of a possible television series. However, that fell through and by then everyone was working on other projects. So a season three, well, that’s pretty much up in the air.

It stars Misha Collins (Supernatural), Melissa Ponzio (Teen Wolf), Nathan Fillion (Firefly, The Rookie), Karan Soni (Deadpool), Kristin Bauer (True Blood), Hilarie Burton Morgan (The Walking Dead, One Tree Hill), Wil Wheaton (Star Trek: The Next Generation), Jonathan Joss (The Magnificent Seven, Parks and Rec) and Lori Alan (Spongebob Squarepants, Family Guy).

The Lovecraft Investigations -- is a mystery thriller/horror fiction podcast written and directed by Julian Simpson, based on several works of H.P. Lovecraft. It’s produced by Sweet Talk Productions for BBC Radio 4. It concluded with three seasons and each episode is about 25-30 minutes long. There might be a fourth season in the works, but even if there isn’t the series is considered to be finished.

The first season starts off with an investigation into the disappearance of a young man, Charles Dexter Ward from a locked room in an asylum. [COMPLETED]

It stars Barnaby Kay (Shakespeare in Love), Jana Carpenter (Doctor Who), Nicola Walker (MI-5, Unforgotten), Mark Bazeley (The Queen, The Bourne Ultimatum), Phoebe Fox (Eye in the Sky, The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death), Steven Mackintosh (Rang De Basanti, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels), Samuel Barnett (Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, Penny Dreadful), Alun Armstrong (Sleepy Hollow, The Mummy Returns), Adam Godley (The Great, The Umbrella Academy), and so on.

Midnight Burger – is a monthly sci-fi audio drama about a diner at the end – and somehow the beginning – of the universe.

When Gloria took a waitressing job at Midnight Burger outside of Phoenix, she didn’t realize she was now an employee of a time-traveling, dimension-spanning diner. Every day Midnight Burger appears somewhere new in the cosmos along with its staff: a galactic drifter, a rogue theoretical physicist, a sentient old-timey radio, and some guy named Caspar.

No one knows who built Midnight Burger or how it works, but when it appears there's always someone around who could really use a cup of coffee. Come by any time, we open at six. [ONGOING]

The audio drama currently has three seasons and each episodes averages about 30 minutes to an hour or so.

Rex Rivetter: Private Eye – is a 1950s-style noir detective audio drama written by Greg McAfee, directed by Rhiannon McAfee, and produced in San Diego, CA by Downstairs Entertainment with editing and sound design by Steve Murdock. The Rex Rivetter theme “Nightmare” by the Artie Shaw Orchestra is used with permission of Music Sales Corp.

The year is 1955. Tinsel town. The land of make-believe. It's a time of growth in American prosperity. Especially in Los Angeles. Here, dreams are bought and sold.

But there's a seedier side to the City of Angels, the shadows where pimps and narcotics pushers live, where organized crime stands just around every corner with one hand out, and the other wrapped around a roscoe. It's a city full of fancy dames and slick cons, where bookies know the vig, so you better, too.

Some folks call it noir or pulp fiction. But for a private eye named Rex Rivetter, it's home. [ONGOING]

It has four seasons and each one runs about 20-30 minutes long. Due to the pandemic, it is still unknown if season five will ever come out and so far there hasn’t been any news about it either.

Mansfield Mysteries – is a satirical, cozy murder whodunit written by Amy Henson, directed by Nicholas Hoyt and produced by The QuaranTeam.

It follows the inquisitive, martini-loving socialite Dorinda Mansfield and is set in quiet, affluent Berkshire Bay. So far it only has one season, which contains nine hilarious episodes, each three-chapter story finds Dorinda wrapped up in a new murder. With the help of her devoted daughter, Stacey—as well as the occasional frenemy—Dorinda digs for clues, navigates Berkshire Bay’s elite social circles, and sifts through years’ worth of grudges and motives. In this company town, no one can be trusted, and everyone has something to hide.

Whether at the Labor Day Extravaganza, the Halloween Tennis Club Open, or secret karaoke night, Dorinda sets out to find the real killer before they get away with murder… Just as soon as she orders her martini! [COMPLETED]

If you’re looking for a bite-sized audio drama, this might be for you. It has three seasons (or chapters) and each one only takes three episodes to complete its tales, which is fun, amusing and will keep you entertained while you’re working on something or resting your eyes.

The Call of the Void – is an indie science fiction mystery audio drama created and written by Josie Eli Herman and Michael Alan Herman. It’s produced by Acorn Arts & Entertainment. It contains three seasons of 28 episodes and each one is about 25-30 minutes long with a cast of about 35 actors.

In the bustling streets of New Orleans, a tour guide and a palm-reading outcast team up to unravel the mystery behind cases of sudden insanity besetting the city. [COMPLETED]

Wolf 359 – is a science fiction audio drama created by Gabriel Urbina and produced by Gabriel Urbina and Zach Valenti under Kinda Evil Genius Productions. It consists of four seasons with 61 episodes in total and each one is about 25-40 minutes long.

It is set on board the U.S.S. Hephaestus space station orbiting the star Wolf 359 on a deep space survey mission. The dysfunctional crew deals with daily life-or-death emergencies, while searching for signs of alien life and discovering there might be more to their mission than they thought. [COMPLETED]

What I Write For

Some Original Characters

[amethystviolist]

I was tagged by @cactusnymph! Thank you so much for thinking of me <3

Rules: Go to your (current/main) AO3 account and find the following (which you can do by going to all your works and exploring the dropdown menus to sort by tags and ratings and such).

What is your AO3 account?

You can find me under the same username, but here's a link!

What ratings do you write most of your fics under?

I've got 28 works. A staggering 26 of those are rated T, while only one is rated G, and one is rated E.

What are your top three fandoms?

Supernatural (ugh, RIP, I had more time to write in high school and it shows) at 10, How To Train Your Dragon at 6 (I did a challenge week once), and then a tie for third between BBC Merlin and The Hobbit both at 5.

What is the top character you write about?

Well... it's Dean and Castiel tied at 10 bc they're in those ten fics. As you might logically assume, all the character tags actually correspond to the frequency of their fandoms, so this isn't a very surprising or exciting answer I'm afraid.

What are your top three pairings?

Okay, this one is actually interesting! I mean, Dean/Cas is top due to sheer numbers, whatever. BUT number two jumping up there is actually Bilbo/Thorin! I think this is because their relationship features in my single LOTR fic, even though the characters themselves don't make an appearance. Number three is Merlin/Arthur which also makes sense, because I don't think all my HTTYD fics are shipping-focused.

What are the top three additional tags?

Fluff (11), then a four-way tie with Angst, First Kiss, POV Third Person, and AU - Everyone Lives/Nobody Dies (4). And finally just... KIssing (3). This cracked me up a bit.

Does any of this surprise you?

Yes, I was surprised Bagginshield snagged a surprise second-most ship spot, but very happy as that's my current writing focus!

No pressure to participate of course, but I'm tagging @shantismurf, @thatfancygirlinblack, and @lisellelascelles!

If you weren't tagged but you want to do this, you have my full permission to claim I tagged you anyway :)

[castielsbees]

For a personal introduction discussion board for my anthro class I decided to full send it for one of the prompts and straight up expose my love for all things fandom and fanfic on the first day of class oops

When I hear “community,” I am inclined to think of the idea of fandom, though it may seem like a trivial thing. Whether it be for a movie, TV show, or book series, various pieces of media become a source of connection and community for many people of all ages. One of the things I love about fandoms is that you get the chance to see a plethora of countless different opinions, concepts, and spins on the fictional places and characters that are loved by so many people. For example, I consider myself to be a part of many different fandoms, such as Harry Potter, Sherlock (BBC), Supernatural, Good Omens, and Hannibal (NBC), for instance, and I love finding fanart, fanfiction, analyses of the media, and more, relating to those shows and movies. There are countless incredible works out there, whether it be fanart, music, meta, writing, or more inspired by the different pieces of media that people love, and these bring people together and bring light to many talented and creative individuals out there. Anyone can be part of many different fandoms, and there are many roles people play in them, from authors to artists, and those who just like to consume and appreciate the work that others share within the community. I am an artist, for example, and as I’ve already said, love to make art of the characters that I have grown up with that I love and sharing them within various fandom spaces. I also love to read written fan works. I have read many fanfics I would actually consider to be even better written than some published works I have read, and the amount of time and work put into them is incredible. There are many stereotypes and preconceptions people have about fanfiction, but many of them are extremely lengthy, detailed, and impressively well-written works that deserve much appreciation for their plots, character development, and expression of events and characters that people already have grown to love. It could be seen as a challenge for people in the sense that creativity can be difficult to master, as well as originality, but the beautiful thing about fandom and creation is that most people don’t even care about redundancy and repetition in content, whether it be in tropes used in writing, relationships depicted, art produced, and more. In fact, fanfiction is largely consumed for the exact purpose of people looking for a certain trope or type of story that they love so much that they actively search out that type of story/art, and artists and authors in fandoms should not feel bad about or hesitant to sharing art and stories that they think are overdone because the truth is that their work will be appreciated by someone out there, and the best way to get better at writing, drawing, etc. is to keep writing, drawing, and creating.

Let Me Count the Ways ask game

I've been wanting to do something like this for a long time, and finally decided I might as well just go ahead and do it. Send in a prompt and a duo, and I'll write a short fic for you! Feel free to reblog or alter for your own purposes.

"I missed you."

"You're my idiot."

"You're not a burden."

"I trust you with my life."

"I love you. Yeah, for real."

"I'll never give up on you."

"I can't imagine how I lived without you. I mean, I can remember it, but I can't imagine how I considered that living."

"I've got you."

"Don't EVER scare me like that again!"

"I thought I lost you…"

"How could you do this to me?"

"I know this may be hard to believe, but I'm on your side."

"Of course we're best friends. No one else would put up with your shenanigans."

"Do you trust me?"

"What? I meant it as a compliment."

"I can't do this anymore."

"Are you just going to keep walking by my house or are you going to come in?"

"Dude. It's three in the morning."

"Where are your clothes?"

"I can't believe I'm telling you this."

"I should have told you this a long time ago."

"Why are you helping me?"

"I feel like we've met before…."

"No, I don't care what 'they' think."

"Can't believe this drive is going to take 10 hours…. You wanna play I Spy or License Plate Poker?"

"I'm still mad at you. A broken elevator won't change that. Get away from me. That's YOUR side."

"Leave you? You know how hard it was for me to TRAIN YOU to deal with me?"

"Why does my blanket smell like you?"

"It's not my fault."

"Trust me."

"I wish…"

"Forgive me."

"Thank you."

"I'll keep you safe."

"Why did you do it?"

"Where are we going?"

"Now what?"

"Stay with me for a while."

"Did you really do that?"

"I love you. You know that, right?"

"I have no idea what just happened."

"What are friends for?"

"Please don't be mad."

"You're not wrong."

"I never told you, but…"

"Stop! Can we think this through?"

"Whatever happens, don't forget."

"We should eat something."

"I haven't slept in days."

"I know that face."

Note: I'm only going to write for platonic relationships. There's plenty of great romances out there, but I want to focus on friendships and familial relationships. Even if you send in one of my OTPs, I'm going to write them platonically. Also, I'm perfectly happy to write about my usual blorbos, but I think it would be a fun challenge to try to write characters I wouldn't normally go for. Check out my main blog @novelmonger for my main fandoms, or go ahead and send in some characters to see if I know them. I'd love to fill all of these prompts, so feel free to send me LOTS :D

Non-exhaustive list of duos I'd like to write:

Ed and Al (FMA)

Ed and Mustang (FMA)

Steve and Bucky (MCU)

Steve and Sam (MCU)

Sam and Bucky (MCU)

Frodo and Sam (LotR)

Din and Grogu (The Mandalorian)

As far as I recollect you don't write (Sherlock?) fanfic anymore, but I just wanna let you know that your gryphon AU (Infinitely Stranger) had such an impact on me that it's basically the last Sherlock fic I read with excitement. Like it was so good that I stopped looking for other fic for that fandom, and then the whole thing rotted out.... Anyway, every time I see you post I go "😍 wow I love their work!" Hope you're having a pleasant day.

I am back on this site after a loooong while away, and this was here and I've been smiling at my screen for like. A very long time??? Thank you SO MUCH for your kind words! It makes me really happy to know that my self-indulgent little magical realism OT3 AU was a source of such joy and excitement for you! I'm still writing and posting on AO3 (albeit intermittently-- yaaaay layoffs and job hunts, not), but yeah, the BBC!lock fandom and I parted ways several years ago after one too many nastygrams over shipping things the 'wrong' way. Supernatural might have its own fuckery going on (and good grief is there a lot of it), but it's such a huge, sprawling, well-established fandom that it's relatively easy to skirt the hot zones and keep to my own funky little corner of things. I really enjoy Dean and Cas' characters as vehicles for tackling themes like self-determination, atonement and challenging shame, questioning norms and expectations, the many shapes of devotion, and all kinds of posthumanist woolgathering. ANYWAY. Yes, I am having a lovely day, and I hope yours was also a lovely one! Thank you so much again, and I hope you keep finding more things that bring you joy!

Do you have any TV show recommendations

my #1 tv show recommendation is to watch the challenge. i literally never cared about competition reality shows besides antm and now i am Obsessed because the challenge is perhaps the greatest show of our generation. i beg of you to watch this compilation video it captures the overall spirit of the show So well and it's also hilarious.

if you want recommendations on which season to start with PLEASE send me another ask, or ask sarah @steveharrington she's the expert.

ok now other shows ❤️ i'm not gonna mention shows like succession that are super big on tumblr or well-known prestige television like breaking bad or the sopranos because i'm sure you've already seen plenty of people recommending those yknow? so yeah.

cowboy bebop (anime). the live action does not exist to me. anyway. cowboy bebop is sci-fi. it's western. it's jazz. it's comedy. it's tragedy. it's about love and identity and bounty hunting and a little corgi. there's a reason why it's often called one of the greatest anime of all time. this kinda violates my no reccing super popular shows rule but i think people who don't watch much anime may not be familiar with cowboy bebop so i figured i have a duty to the people.

the get down. i wholeheartedly believe that the get down is the greatest thing netflix has ever produced and it's a goddamn tragedy that it was canceled, but what does exist is just. incredible. it's about the rise of rap and hip-hop, the death of disco, and struggling to figure out identity and the meaning of success in the bronx in the 1970s. created & produced by baz lurhmann, the show incorporates archival footage of new york and real people with fictional narratives in a truly masterful way. it's absolutely gorgeous. the music is fucking fantastic. it's So worth watching and i wish that it had gotten the same hype as other netflix shows like st, oitnb, etc.

speaking of netflix. american vandal. if the get down is the best thing netflix has ever produced, american vandal is a very close second, and i could honestly be persuaded to swap their places, but ANYWAY. it's a mockumentary wherein a kid named peter and his best friend sam attempt to solve the mystery of who spray-painted twenty-seven dicks on twenty-seven cars in the staff parking lot at their high school. it's one of the funniest shows i've ever seen, and also the only show i've ever found to be accurate to the contemporary teenage experience. it's also like... insanely accurate as a parody and critique of real true crime documentaries. also if you're following me you're probably an st fan, and eduardo franco (argyle!!) is in american vandal as well, if that motivates you any more.

xena: warrior princess. it's the best show of all time and also the worst show of all time. everything that people say about shows like supernatural and glee and riverdale? xena did that shit back in the 90s, they did it better, and they did it with lesbians. they did it with swords. they did it with aphrodite. they did it with leather and whips and clones and reincarnation and true love's kiss. please watch xena.

community. if you haven't watched community idk what you're doing with your life to be quite honest. just watch it already.

GLOW. attention all tumblrinas who like messy complicated stupid mean scheming sexy women. you will fucking love glow. sorry i'm recommending so many netflix shows but i can't Not mention glow on here it would be a betrayal of my lesbianism. it is about sexy women wrestling. it's got blood. it's got tits. it's got storytelling. it's got 80s music. it's got fucking your best friend's husband as a means of feeling closer to her. yellowjackets fans i'm looking at you. watch glow.

ghosts (bbc). not cbs. dear god not cbs. bbc. but yeah ghosts is a sitcom about a young couple who suddenly inherit an old home (manor? thing? man i don't fuckin know english aristocracy stuff) full of ghosts. it's a fun, simple premise, and some parts of the show can be corny, but the actors sell it so well that it's just a pleasure to watch. if you're into sitcoms, i think it's worth giving ghosts a shot!

that's it for now i don't want this to get super long ❤️ thank u for asking!! also sorry if this wasn't what you expected from me lmao. OH ALSO watch the muppet show. like the OG 1970s muppet show. shit slaps.

(from this "get to know your writer" meme)

7. How do you choose which POV to write from?

I have a soft spot for outsider POVs, so I usually aim for a POV of someone who isn't at the center of the story, but is still very close to it (ideally having their own story that in some way contrasts or complements the actual main story). I also enjoy using multiple POVs, mostly outsider POVs, to "triangulate" a story without relying on the main character of the story to tell it all themselves.

It started out as a way to challenge myself, because I was prone to over-relying on introspection and characters thinking about things. Using outsider POVs became a way of pushing myself to "show" rather than "tell" a lot more. Then I realized I enjoyed outsider POVs for opportunity of "color commentary" on whatever's going on, how different perspectives or biases might shape people's understanding of a certain character or story, and generally exploring different understandings of what is or isn't going on.

Outsider POVs also make it easy to focus in on one part of the/a main character's arc by zeroing in on it and excluding the rest. In a way, it lets me highlight the "real" story when I get to temporarily remove or cover up a plot that obfuscates the underlying relationships and emotions. (e.x. I have a Captain America/Teen Wolf AU in which Steve Rogers sees a lot of the Teen Wolf canon events, but without knowing about the existence of werewolves just yet. It let me focus on the teen characters' trauma and character growths before all the supernatural stuff started cluttering up the fic 😅)

11. Link your three favorite fics right now

Aaahhhh this one's so hard 🥺😩 And slightly confusing because I'm not sure if it means three favorites out of my own fics, or in general/other people's fics? How can I pick only 3?? I've read and written so many, do I even try to narrow down by fandom or year or something???

Setting aside the fact that I don't really do favorites in the first place, I'm going to feel self-conscious about all the fics I didn't pick if I try to link to three fics by other authors, so I'll by my top three out of my own fics:

1.) Frost Bite - the aforementioned Captain America/Teen Wolf crossover. Stiles is Bucky's grand-nephew (Bucky's sister's grandson), and the closest thing to a living relative Steve has in the 21st century.

2.) For the Dust and the Dirt - time-travel Untamed fic, though none of the characters know it yet. Cloud Recesses student Wei Wuxian was attacked and tortured by what looks like a crazy, old, and powerful copy of himself, for no good reason. Though the attack has left a lot of people sympathetic to him...and left him with strange "visions" about things that haven't happened yet.

3.) Virtues, Chicken, and Destiny - technically a series, a rewrite of Season 4 of the BBC show Merlin. It started out as an off the cuff frustration with the the show's writing, but turned into a lot of character exploration of Arthur, as well as the nature of friendships, trust, and Arthur's various relationships with the people around him.

18. Do you title your fics before, during, or after the writing process? How do you come up with titles?

After. Sometimes I don't come up with a title until I'm staring at the New Work form on AO3. 😅 I generally have one of two titles:

1.) A reference of some kind, quoting something either from the canon work itself, another classical/famous work altogether, or a song (though I rarely use whole lines if I'm using song lyrics). Regardless, I still use the words as a title (i.e. capitalizing everything), and try to pick titles that would still make sense or have some connection to my fic even if you've never heard that song or whatever, aka a lyric clip or title that can stand on its own (but will convey extra vibes to anyone who does know the song or reference). In that regard, I usually try to pick titles with some kind of imagery in them that acts as an allegory for the story somehow. e.x. "Drowning Like a Stone" is both a quote from the English version of Why Don't You Stay, but also describes Chay: he is a stone for much of the fic due to trauma/depression, and sinking fast and hard into his new life.

2.) Something that works with the chapter titles, typically in some thematically relevant way. One of the reasons I'm proud of Frost Bite is that the chapter titles are also the steps for treating Frost Bite - Steve's emotional state is frost bitten, the story is about his psychological recovery, and the chapter titles are usually a metaphor in some way for his emotional development or experience in that chapter (e.x. "Skin Will Blister As It Thaws" - a frost bitten limb needs to thaw but will hurt in the process, and similarly recovering and reconnecting is something Steve needs to do, but not without emotional pain in the process).

3.) A bit of both. "To Belong With Fire" is indirectly quoting Kinn from the show, but the chapter titles are the different chemical stages for the production of fire, and metaphorical for what's going on in those chapters, e.x. "Fuel" is both Porsche's body being 'fuel' for fire, but also Kinn being fueled by grief in his desperate actions. I picked the song that "For the Dust and the Dirt" quotes from because it conveys the arbitrariness and hopelessness of grief, surviving war, and lost dreams, but those specific words/that specific line was because of the usage of dust and dirt in the fic's inciting incident; the chapter titles are just POVs, but sometimes it's singular (if the whole chapter is one character), but otherwise it's thematic (such as the chapter titled "Zongzhu", which was various sect leaders' POVs, both to show the cultivation worlds' varying reactions and attitudes about what happened, but also show parts of the story that I want the reader to know but the main character would have no way of knowing).

End of Year Wrap Up

Thank you for the tag, @wordspin-shares 💜

Total number of completed works: 0

Total number of WIPs worked on this year: Two, sort of. I worked on my TVD fic, Imperfectly Bound, and started drafting an SPN fic but I have no long-term plans for that one.

WIPs neglected this year: My original work and the Fictober challenge I attempted. Also, the TVD fic in a way since I only really worked on it during NaNoWriMo

Fandoms I've written in: The Vampire Diaries, Supernatural, and BBC Merlin

Total word count: 56,658

Looking back, did you write more than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you expected?: Less, I had planned to write more but really struggled with getting the motivation to do so. NaNo helped me get some draft work done, so I’m hoping to do better in 2023.

Did you take any writing risks this year?: I don’t think so...

Do you have any goals for the new year?: I definitely want to make significant progress in my TVD fic, like getting through the season 2 timeline and maybe figuring out where the story is going long-term. I would also like to start drafting some other fics from my idea folder.

Biggest disappointment?: Not writing more.

Biggest surprise? Even though my TVD fic had been inactive for over a year, I did get a comment that someone had binged it in a day, which was very surprising (and also made my day).

Most popular story of the year? My first TVD fic, Second Chances, still seems to get a lot of follows/favorites/interactions. I think because it is complete. Imperfectly Bound is a close second though.

What's your own favorite story of the year?: I don’t really have one since most of the focus has been on a single work.

Story of mine most under-appreciated by the universe, in my opinion: I don’t really know. In general, I’d like more comments/feedback from readers but I don’t really think anything is under-appreciated (Honestly, I’m happy if some of my older works are never read again because the quality is so bad, lol.).

Most fun story to write: The default answer is Imperfectly Bound because that’s all I’m working on....

Most unintentionally telling story: I don’t have one.

My favorite part of fandom this year: I enjoyed interacting with other OC creators and reading/seeing their OCs.
