Y hallo thar friend! For the fanfic ask game: 👖 👨‍👧‍👧

y ahoy there matey!!! hope all's well on your end!!! 😚

👖Are you a planner, plantser, or pantser? Is it consistent?

i think......i think to answer this question..........i should......i should just provide photo evidence. aklsdjfksadjfl so two of my current active projects are "of mummy men & bathtub soup" and "like wringing blood from a stone," aka the hacketts, right? right?

here's what those projects look like in my writing folder lol

I'M A PLANNER I'M A PLANNER I'M A PLANNERRRRRRRR!!! any project that isn't a oneshot, i have outlined....painstakingly. lmfao. usually that means i have (1) an outline document; (2) a document where the current chapter(s) is being written; (3) a document where future chapters/scenes i haven't decided where to put yet/scenes that come to me in prophetic visions go; and (4) a document where the final, finished, formatted work goes x_x

i wish i could be a pantser. i wish. so much. that i wasn't like this alksdjflkasjldfkjskljfklsjdkfljKSLFJLKSJF

👨‍👧‍👧 Do you tell people in real life that you write fic? 

okay so this one's a funny story actually. i've always been VERY open with my friends about writing fic because they've always been my biggest cheerleaders, so that's not a shock. thing is, i've been more open about it with my family lately because like....why not. there's still a stigma around fic if you're not, y'know, chronically online, but i'm very proud of what i do, and fuck it, my family should be too!

however.

i was talking to one of my brothers about the quarry lately (he plays the supermassive games with me whenever he's in town, and due to a hilarious goof-em-up, affectionately refers to tq as "hog boy," as in "let's play hog boy today," or "how far have you gotten in hog boy?"), and this conversation happened, beat-for-beat:

me: y'know. i write for this game. him: ??? what, like, you were on the team? me: ????? wh, no, fanfiction. fanfiction, you fool. him: wait. you weren't joking about writing that stuff????? me: no. him: but you don't........you don't PUT IT ON THE INTERNET, do you??? you don't let people SEE IT????? me: ????? yes??????? i do??????? him: jesus christ that's embarrassing. no one reads it though, right??? people don't ACTUALLY read it????? me: people read it. him: WHY

so. suffice it to say. i think. perhaps. i will refrain from discussing the finer points of my fuckin' oeuvre to my family from here on out, lmfao. really warmed my heart, that little exchange 🤣

wip wednesday - ask me stuff about my wips!
