HELLO??? somehow i missed that the mumbroom fic you dedicated to me existed for a full 4 months and 9 days??
i checked my gifts today by accident because of a question someone had about gifts and gift exchange fics and i was like, w h a t 👀👀👀👀👀 and honestly i am not a worthy recipient of such a lovely fic! but i am SO grateful and honoured!!
apologies for the rabid monster i became in your comments and also for somehow not noticing this was happening 😭
HI OMG!!! I’m so glad you liked it - I’ve just been reading your comments and I have honestly never smiled harder in my life 😭 the fact that I admire you as an author so so much, and you are someone who loves and understands Hecate as a character an incredible amount… to know that you enjoy the way I’ve written her is just so!!!! Honestly your comments & reactions mean so much to me I can’t stop fucking giggling and smiling! Your comments are fantastic, and I love that you noticed & enjoyed the little details i added in to make it clear Hecate is autistic !!! because her being visibly autistic is really important to me, and idk I just feel like it was one of the things I was really hoping to accomplish with the fic when I set out to write it.
Anyways I love your stories and I’m so so glad I can write this gift for you to enjoy after all this time of me enjoying your work💕 THANK YOU AGAIN BTW FOR YOUR LOVELY LOVELY COMMENTS they really have made my entire week, like, my face hurts from how much smiling I’m doing right now ! 😭💕💕💕💕
i wrote approximately half of this post-surgery (top surgery revision, which went reasonably okay but still triggering for me as a person with surgery phobia)
With her confinement just lifted, Hecate Hardbroom has been invited to the Magic Council's Summer Gala to celebrate her services to the school. After a traumatic reunion with someone best left in the past, she finds that her faithful familiar Morgana has undergone a transformation. Can Morgana in her new form and Hecate's old flame, Pippa Pentangle, help her to recover?
basically this fic is uh,,,
✨ what do you get if morgana transforms from a little cat into a BIG CAT and also pippa is there ✨
first three chapters are up (was meant to be a one-shot but see how well that went) and i'll be working on the remaining 2? 3? soon!
if you read, please consider taking the time to comment! it would be the most amazing birthday gift to me. i don't have any plans this year for my birthday and knowing that i might have made someone feel as unhinged as i did while writing this would be so special :')
Tug by @marvellouslymadmim thank you so much me luv

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Fanfic.net dosnt let me reply any more??? but I do try to. even if its just a key smash and a thankyou. or if its an emoji spam i emoji spam back. I love those.
6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Hm. The closest ones I could think of are Death's acquaintance and In grief we bake. I don't tend to do agnsty endings. even the sad ish ones are kind hopeful.
EDIT: JABBERYJAYED! I forgot!? litreally a hunger games fic ends up in devistation?? fool.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
I couldnt narrow it down so top 2: I saw 7 Dogs and Christmas Cards
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Onlya few times in the past. two of those times were Worst witch ship trolls and just deleted them. one was my fault, i got uppity with an 'UPDATE NOW' comment and user just went a few my other fics being rude. againn deleted.
9. Do you write smut?
write yes. post no. (not yet-!) :o
10. Do you write crossovers?
yes. Ive have a good half a dozen under my belt and a couple in the works.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
angain no not that i know of.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
No but I would count @teapotteringabout @kiwi-collideoscope and Princess Sammi as , the amount i've bouced ideas about with them.
14. What's your all-time favourite ship?
Mary Poppins and Bert. the OTP before i knew what the internet was.
15. What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Froot, SEASICK and Cherrytree Carol. plus a bunch of WW ones. I keep picking them up but i feel like they might be left on the shelf a little longer.
16. What are your writing strengths?
Dialogue and character voices.
I also love mixing humour in too, even just a little sprinkle into sad bits and I think i do that quite well.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Plot bunnies. and not finishing current WIPS. Ive made a mountain of improvement on that frount but yeah posting chapters before before the fics even 50% done. To the point ive sequeals to fics that are only two lines of an epic.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
Massivise kudos who can do that. not my forte. The closest I've come is writing the odd burst of ASL and BSL for Unshackled and Chest Compressions, and a pinch of welsh for Lucretia’s Baller but as yet Hypothetical Birthday Cake.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Corpse Bride (2005). a sad little fic for a le sad victor van dort.

This list will be updated throughout the challenge. These are the works so far, but don't worry - if you finish something for these tropes (or later ones) at any point during the challenge, it'll still get added in as long as it's in the tag or collection! :)
i recently took part in the @paternosterdrabbleexchange and wrote 18 triple drabbles! collected here in a series for reading ease. they're in a vague order but are by no means in the same universe or anything
i've never written for this ship or fandom before, so it was really fun to get to explore different concepts with them without consequences (i.e. having to write a fic of some length)
i also started off the challenge having listened to only a few of the audios but by halfway through the challenge, had finished them all in my hyperfixation. that said, i think almost none of them directly reference audio stuff. so if you're only aware of the victorian wives through doctor who, then you pretty much have everything you need to understand them 😅
honouring the victorian setting was such a delight! there was an amount of research that went into almost every drabble to make sure everything was era-appropriate (except the two at the end that are AU and not victorian)!
the game is: post the names of the files in your wip folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. let people send you an ask with the title of what most intrigued them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it. if you want, tag as many people as you have wips
I was tagged by @aandriskobold and in turn (no pressure or obligation!) I tag anyone who wants to do this, @teapotteringabout @itslacroixsweetiedarling @anarkyandmadness @heathtrash @scarletwoods @sgrumby @entguarde @dragonoffantasyandreality @womble1 @prince-lee25 @marvellouslymadmim
