I MADE THE MISTAKE OF READING GRAD SCHOOL RIVALRY AND NOW I DON'T WANNA READ ANYTHING ELSE. ESPECIALLY FROM YOU. OHMYGOD OHMYGOD OHMYGOD I'm freaking out. I don't care what you say and what others say, this is the best story you've ever written...well at least to me it is. And I'm gonna tell you why I think that. But let me just say that it was so good that I might have cried about it more than once just because of its sheer perfection. It's just so perfect I want to keep it in a glass box. Like this fic filled a hole in my heart, like this checked all of my 'expectations from a fic' boxes that I didn't even know I had.

At first I was debating if I should start it because we are already two parts in for chefrry and I'm enjoying it so much that I didn't wanna start anything else from you. But this one was also tempting me from a very long time so I just figured that we still have a lot of time for chefrry part 3 so I'd better finish this one. It was a mistake. Big mistake. Huge!

Everytime I read something that hits me differently I need to take a little break from reading and it has happened with your fics before where I finish reading something then think about it for days and I can't get myself out of it to read something else. I don't know what that says about me but I'm like this. This one though, hit me a bit harder because it's been almost a month since i finished reading it but I'm still thinking about it and I can't believe I read something so perfect. And I was like I can't read anything else now I just need to be in this world forever. Do you understand? Your stories make me take a break from reading but this one was extreme. I didn't know what to do with myself. It was so perfect I was going mad. I couldn't fucking focus on anything. I was about to send you this ask sooner but I just needed to gather my thoughts first.

You're my comfort writer. I like literally everything you write. I have said this to you before and I'm gonna say it a million times more....your writing is amazing and I haven't found anyone else like you and I'm glad I did find you. But I'm an annoying reader. I pay too much attention to things that probably didn't need attention, I pick apart details, I find flaws. I'm really annoying about timelines and I would spend hours figuring out if the dates mentioned in the fic I'm reading matches, if the timeline of the story makes sense. I do it with your stories too and while I don't necessarily find flaws or continuation errors or whatever, I do often leave with lots of questions and wanting more chapters that can provide answers. I remember after reading prince harry and demon hunter harry (two of my favourites of yours that made me think for days) I sent you long asks filled with questions that were never answered but seemed necessary to the storyline. And I understand that they are super old fics so it might not be easy for you to answer those questions anymore. And I understand it's not a problem for others because they probably didn't binge read so they wouldn't remember the small fucking details from the previous chapter very clearly. I pay too fucking much attention and I binge read and when there's a new chapter coming I re read the previous ones so that I don't forget anything and that's my problem. (I have to re watch Stranger Things season 1-4 before season 5 comes out even though I still remember what happened in all of those seasons). But with grad school rivalry I didn't have any questions (actually I have one question and also the timeline doesn't make sense sometimes but I'm ignoring them) and I am absolutely thoroughly utterly happy with the way it ended and it doesn't leave me wanting another part. Though I'd absolutely devour another update of them. But the story seems complete. I don't feel like I'm dying to know what happens to them next because the ending very much seemed like they are gonna live their happily ever after. I just can't emphasize enough how perfect it was.

And one more thing which I have to mention because it's so important and you deserve more credit for it. And forgive my shitty english I don't know how to express this properly but your writing is versatile. There are so many writers who seem to be stuck in a pattern. Their writing style don't appeal to me. Their characters don't change, they have the same traits, same backgrounds, same problems and same traumas in every fic they write and plotlines are more or less same in every fic. Like they just get comfortable writing their characters like that and they don't wanna get out of that zone. And I'm sorry if I'm being cruel here but I don't care if you're writing fanfiction. You're still creating a form of art, you're spending your time on that and I'm spending my time reading that so why not actually be creative and not write the same thing over and over again!!! Which is why I'm so grateful for you and some other awesome writers that I found here. You guys experiment with your stories and your characters and create different worlds arround those. You write every story very differently even though there's similarities and patterns that make it obvious it's a Miss Jaws fic. Like you use same words or phrases but the context is different. Your characters in every fic has different personalities to them and sometimes they are similar in someways, but they're also very different. Your writing is very refreshing and very interesting even if it's like the same old tropes that thousand other people are writing about and you write them in a way that makes it very comforting.

You wrote about cult in vampire yn fic and you also wrote about cult in one of your vamprry fics and everything about those were so different. Both cults were different, the effect they had on the characters were different. The way you write insecurities is also very interesting. In chefrry for example, yn is so pathetically insecure and self-conscious, but sometimes she can act confident to get what she wants. Sometimes. On the other hand grad school rivalry yn is super confident, knows what she's doing knows what she wants and she's gonna make sure she gets what she wants but she's also insecure. Both their insecurities are kinda same but very very different. Chef yn is confident enough to try and get with chefrry but grad school yn even after what they've been through together and the progress they've made in their relationship/friendship, she still doesn't know if she's supposed to want harry, if she it's right to feel jealous or possessive over him him. And these differences depend on the context right, like what the story is, what the dynamic between these people are. Which is another thing I wanted to say, in Chefrry from the first chapter it's feels like they're destined to fuck and be obsessed with eachother and that's where the story is going, that's what all this build up is about. But in grad school rivalry, even though there's so much tension from the beginning and it's clear they're gonna be obsessed with eachother eventually and they are probably soulmates, there's still some uncertainty where the story is going because of the character dynamic and how they act around eachother. Like every little detail can make a difference. I'm so grateful to you that you take your time doing this for us.

And I know I said chefrry is at the top of my FEEL HOT AND HORNY list but I think grad school rivalry is gonna tie with it because the smut was filthy and I felt hot and horny throughout because their dynamic was too hot. BUT it's gonna be at the top of FEEL GOOD AND WARM too because MY GOD the wholesome feelings I got throughout the story is insane and I fear nothing can beat that and their dynamic was also very sweet and yn's relationship with her roommates ughhh I just wanna drown in that story forever. I love myself some filth but I'm always gonna take filth with extra like 100x wholesomeness and grad school rivalry was exactly that fic. Thank you so much for giving it to us. I can't thank you enough really.

Now I'm gonna prepare to read chefrry part 3. I'm also realising that this was not the perfect time to send this ask because today is chefrry part 3 day. So this one's probably gonna be lost in the sea of asks you get but I had to do it before reading part 3. Hope you see this and it inspires you to write more AOB fics where yn is an alpha for a change or more enemies to lovers fic because no one does it better than you. Okay enough of my ramblings. Bye!!!! I love you!!!!!!

FIRST AND FOREMOST EEEEEEEEEEEEK!!! I LOVE LONG MESSAGES LIKE THESE!! IM GLAD THAT YOU FOUND A FIC OF MINE THAT MADE YOU FEEL THIS WAY, ESPECIALLY THOSE TWO!! I FORGOT ABOUT THEM A LITTLE BIT, BUT THEY WERE SO FUN TO WRITE I MIGHT HAVE TO BRING THEM BACK FOR A CHECK-IN!

[kinardsevan]

im just curious, what are your thoughts about finishing your fics? i know right now it probably seems impossible as it does reading them, but just wondering. your writing is so good & i love it so much 💙 do whatever works for you, just was wondering 🫶🏻

i was actually planning to address this ❤️💙

So. Here's my current mindset:

I did start a fix-it fic last night. I have another idea swirling around in my head atm for another version of one. My brain is at this point quite literally wired to create. (Even if I'm only doing ceramics and painting this semester 😛). Those will get finished.

-Empty Bones will continue to see updates. Especially with my need to put the icky feelings somewhere. I'd be lying to you if I said I haven't considered writing another whump fic solely based off of Tommy really fucking shit up for us all last night. But that idea may live in my head (or on my hard drive for a while). I don't know how often they'll come, but they'll still come.

-the devil doesn't bargain has always had plans to get wrapped. i just need to find the time (and creative outlet) to do so. I know where it goes and how it ends, it's just getting there.

-never til now... right now I don't have an answer for that.

But I'm not stupid. I know why you're asking.

ANEURYSM FIC:

so I'm not going to lie. I haven't written much on it in weeks, solely because of the amount of work that goes into it. I know where the next scene that's been in my head for a few weeks goes, I just haven't actually gotten to putting it down. I went through a stretch in the past few weeks where I worked or was at school for 24 days straight and barely wrote during that time. As it sits at this moment, chapter six is just under 11.5k. I view it as reaching roughly 20, possibly 25.

the problem lies in the fact that the end of this story is so FUCKING happy. when I tell you I already have part of the wedding night written and all the emotion that goes into it... there's so much work and thought put into it, but right now, if I'm being honest with you... finishing aneurysm fic might not happen. this week was already gutting me before the show aired last night, and that really felt like being kicked while so many of us were already down. so to that end, I really struggle to be able to find a way to want to touch it when it really requires me to tap into a certain part of my creativity that feels really broken right now.

I know some of my friends have said that they're done, and that they're not going to finish their stories, or have even posted what they had written so far. that's fair and valid. i won't be doing that, at least not right away. i will work to finish them as long as there's an audience who wants to see them come to fruition. I really want to believe in the part of fandom that says that it's more than just when a couple is together on screen, and that there will be people who continue to write bucktommy because I truly do enjoy doing so, and I enjoy reading it. This couple brought me back to fandom and fanfiction in a big way, and right now I can at least tell you that I'm not done with it. I don't know how long it will take to roll out updates, or what happens with my relationship to the show, but I know that much.

[draftmare]

I have been stewing on this post for a couple of weeks now. First off, a health update. I think the last time I talked about my wrist/arm issues I had mentioned that the pain had moved up to my elbow. Well, I decided to go to see my PCP, which started a flurry of appointments, testing, visits to specialist, afternoons spent laying in my bed curled in the fetal position wishing my arm would just fall off already, all the emotions. I came out the other side with an arm that is still basically useless and no closer to an answer than I was when I started. I like to think after 6 knee surgeries and a breast reduction I have a pretty high pain tolerance, and when I tell y'all this arm situation has really stopped me in my tracks... I don't want to do anything. I have lost all motivation to ride, I have to take a nap on my lunch break every day just to make it through the day, I am physically and mentally exhausted. What started in my wrist 14-ish weeks ago has now encompassed my elbow and my shoulder joints. I have a hot, fire like pain shooting down my forearm day and night. My doctor just prescribed me heavier pain medication, and the next steps are PT, an US, and an EMG.

On the book reading front, I finished Voyager, the third book in the Outlander series. Instead of diving straight into another 1000+ page book right away, I decided to take a step away and read Paladin's Grace by T. Kingfisher. Swordheart by the same author is one of my favorite reads in recent years. It was so refreshing to have a FMC that was an average body, and in her 30s and a MMC with a dad-bod who was a retired solider instead of a 500-year old Fae warrior god. Swordheart and Paladin's Grace take place in the same world, and I am already finding myself engrossed after the first 5 chapters. This book is pretty short, well at least compared to Voyager and Drums of Autumn, so it is also refreshing how quickly I am moving through the story.

On the gaming front I finally moved away from BG3. Did I finally make it to Act 3? Heck no. But I did make it most of the way through Act 2 before I just ran out of steam on this one...again... It's not the game's fault, I swear. It's entirely my own doing. The desire to make and remake class and species combos, the need to romance eeeeeverybody. I think I am pretty darn close to 1000 hours on this game in total. I will probably get back to it someday, but for now just the thought of picking it up again makes me groan. Instead, I spent some time playing No Rest for the Wicked, it's a fun little indy souls-like that is currently in early access. They just did a big update and wiped all the characters, and then after I had put about 20 hours in, they announced another big update would be coming in either June or July and with that update characters would be getting wiped again. That update adds a bunch of quality-of-life features that I really, really want in the game, so I have paused my playthrough for now. That is, unfortunately, a risk you take with early access games. Now I am playing DragonAge: Veilguard. This game got a TON of flak from diehard DragonAge lovers, but I have been having a good time. The combat is a little wonky from what I am used to. It has taken some getting used to. In contrast to what I would normally play, I have found myself loving the warrior class. I literally never play a sword and board class. I always go for either the mage or other ranged class options.

Chickens are doing awesome. They are outside from about 7am to 7pm now.

The chickie nuggets are getting braver by the day. I always seem to either be out of reach of my phone or have forgotten to carry my phone out with me altogether when it happens, but they are now regularly perching on my arm and NAPPING on my arm. Like, full on head under the wing conking out while sitting on my arm.

I don't have much update on the horse front. I got my saddle back from the saddle fitter, but I honestly haven't been feeling very motivated to ride. Spend time with her? Yes. Ride? Not so much. I don't have any goals right now. I can't afford to show at the moment. I don't even know if I want to pursue dressage anymore. I would be okay with doing something like ranch riding or working equitation. But those are all things that are hard to do while at a dressage training facility. Mostly it's because by the time I get her groomed and tacked up all of my energy is gone and I hurt so bad, then I get on and feel like I need to work on things from my lessons and make constant improvements and always be in training mode. I don't want to give up riding, but it would be nice to do something that feels a little less intense while I figure out what the heck is wrong with me.

Writing/Art Update 1.9.2024

Bleh. I was holding off doing this update, hoping I was going to be able to report that I had finished That Stupid Scene that I have been working on since before Christmas. I had so many thoughts in my head while I was cooking dinner and then, when I actually sat down to write, they had departed. Maybe they'll be back tomorrow.

In any case, I did make a huge amount of progress this week. It was hard! I had a lot of writing time, which was nice, except that I spent a lot of it staring out the window or clicking on my other browser tabs, which is always very irritating. However, I did manage to get most of it written, and it hit all the bullet points I needed it to. I basically just have to wrap it up and transition into what happens next. It shouldn't actually be that hard, I'm just tired and I'm not sure I can swing it right now. It's a big scene, too-- I clocked 4,375 words on it this week in addition to the 900 I already had, so it's probably going to be about half the chapter.

I've had a feeling for quite some time that I had not actually budgeted enough space in the outline for the back half of this fanfic. The thing is, though, it is nearly always the case that an extra chapter manages to sneak in somewhere along the way. I decided to just leave the outline as it was, and that way, if an extra chapter appeared, then my pacing problem would sort itself. That...may be happening. I am not entirely sure. I'm in sort of a weird place where I simultaneously feel like I am very close to done and also very, very far away from being done. Hopefully, in the next week or two (that is, when I finish Ch 7), that will sort itself out. Either that, or I'll just keep writing chapters, like Zeno's fanfic. I sincerely hope that doesn't happen. I will die.

Ugh, I want to post. I am wallowing in the pit of it's been so long since I posted, I feel like I have literally stopped existing, and I keep getting dumb urges to "just take a little break and write a short one" (note that I do not actually have any ideas towards "a short one", it's 100% urges only). Anyway, I definitely do not want to do that, because I want to finish this one very, very badly, and it's taking long enough as is. What I should probably do is polish up Chs 5 and 6 and send them to the beta, but that would require coming up with a name for the art museum that I placeholdered a bunch of times in Ch 5. I actually named it in Ch 1 and then decided I didn't like it and needed to rename and I just haven't yet.

Speaking of names, I've also fallen into It-Needs-a-Title Madness, where I start to go Actual Nuts because I can't think of a title for this stupid fanfic. I forgot that in addition to staring out the window, I spent a lot of time looking through the lyrics of songs on my Ductwork playlist and googling for, like, "phrases with injury" in them. I hate this. It's such a waste of time and yet I do this every time. Why can't you pay someone $10 to name your fanfic for you? Can I just call it "Ductwork"? Does it even matter? (it does matter. I regret every terrible title I have ever slapped on a fanfic in a fit of "Fuck It, We Post")

In other news, I drew all seven days last week (the theme was fruits and vegetables). I took yesterday off, but then I drew a can of soup today, which was hard. It's cool. The people in art club are very nice. I am really hoping to draw a Rukia for her birthday. I have never drawn a bankai Rukia, and I'd like to give it a shot. I bet it would be a lot easier if I could resist doing a full body shot, but somehow, I always do a full body shot. We'll see!!

[seyaryminamoto]

hey hopefully these aren’t too many questions but im asking mostly because I forgot if you had said so, how is our favourite couple currently where you’re writing & how far ahead are you compared to where the readers are at? and finally how many parts will Gladiator be? I’m sure you have said it already but Im sure I have forgotten!!

Well, they're a fair amount of questions, haha, but that's fine :D

I'm still around 50 chapters ahead, but I've had to invest most of my time into art exclusively over the past weeks, it's why I haven't been able to write as much as I usually do. I was at a 60~ish chapter advantage, I'm not doing double updates atm so that the gap won't get too big to be manageable anymore. I'm pretty sure we all want to keep the update rate steady and constant all across Part 3... so the more chapters I write in advance, the better.

And Part 3 is the final part of the story, worth mentioning. The way I structure Gladiator, each part has its own particular identity as the status quo shifts in some way (Part 1: will-they-won't-they, Part 2: when will they get caught?, Part 3: all hell breaks loose), and each of them have certain storytelling climaxes that basically mark the conclusion of each part, so to speak. For Part 1, the climax was also very literal as it's when Azula and Sokka finally go all the way :'D for Part 2, the climax is the Combustion Man fight, and for Part 3... can't tell you that but I'm expecting you can guess at it pretty easily, haha. After each of these climaxes, we've had some more story to cover before switching to the next bit... Part 3 will feature the longest post-climax chunk of story since we have a lot of loose ends to tie and I would hate myself if I finished everything too quickly. Hopefully all that I just said makes sense? :'D

Also, not sure if you wanted to know this exactly but as things stand, I've posted 7 out of 33 arcs for Part 3... and I'm due to start writing arc 20 :'D Part 3 has a LOT of arcs but they're generally shorter than they were before, I feel? Definitely shorter than in Part 1, where they were the longest in the story altogether, I believe.

As for your other, spoilery question...

Currently, Sokka and Azula are in complicated territory. Which I'm sure comes as no surprise considering what's been happening in the story as of late...

Azula's position is extremely precarious even in what stability she has found, and she has far too many complicated motivations pulling at her from all sides, too many people to protect, all of which comes into conflict with the position she's stuck in for the time being. Sokka continues his full dedication to waging war, but while he's doing well at it, the enemy's upping the challenge in what's coming, and as much as he's trying not to be rash and to make his decisions carefully, he has nooo idea how uphill things are going to get for his push in the near future.

It's worth noting that Sokka and Azula have been able to communicate through their spiritual bond a few more times, as well as having multiple chances of noticing something's wrong (or occasionally, right) with the other, even at a distance. Their communication hasn't always been effective in informing them about what the other is doing... but they're learning about each other's movements through other sources now, too. As expected from our chaotic and beloved pair... neither one is to happy about the other's position atm. Which makes it really interesting to me that in all their frustrations about what's going on, the faith they have in each other really doesn't waver.

I don't think I should say much more than that, but I will say I'm looming closer and closer to their fateful reunion, it will still take some time but not a lot, all in all. I only have two big battles left to write before we get to what we're all waiting for... so I really, REALLY want to finish all the art so I can get to that ASAP XD

💫🎈💝

(I just found this in my drafts. I haven't read the answers properly, but I saw down the bottom that I'm talking about releasing a new WIP which is Save Me, and it's been out for over 2 weeks now. Also, I can see that I said that ychiits was the 15th most commented on. It's actually now the 11th (!!!), So if some answers seem off, it's just because it's at least 2-3 weeks old, but I can't be bothered reading through and updating).

💫what is your favorite kind of comment/feedback? All of them! I am SO SO SO blessed by the number of comments and feedback I get. Like... I don't even know how to explain it. Actually, I DO! If you sort all 42,000+ Larry fics by comments... my fic, which I started uploading less than 4 months ago and has only been finished for a month, is 15th. The fifteenth most commented-on Larry fic EVER. INSANE!! Like, that's so crazy, and I'm so, so thankful! But out of everything, there are two types I've obsessed with. The first are Tiktok videos about my fic. In a few days, two people (with large platforms) have reviewed it, and it's so amazing listening and watching people talk about it! It's so surreal.

The second are comments I got really early on. Two in particular stick out and I'll post them here:

But honestly, the fact anyone goes out of their way to interact at all means so, so much to me and there was no way I'd have gotten the fic done (or moved on to the next two WIPs if it wasn't for that).

🎈describe your style as a writer; is it fixed? does it change? This is a weird way to write this question. I'm going to assume they mean process as opposed to style. I have a lot of coping techniques to fall back on when writing based on my mood. Best case scenario, I'm in a good mood, I know exactly what I want to say, I'm focused, and it all just comes out.

Worst case, nothing is working, and I spend the whole time procrastinating and answering questions like this in long detail.

Overall, yes. I'm a pretty big planner because that's what works for me (and I like weaving things through my fics, and that's hard to do on the run). I work out the goal of each chapter before writing it. Sometimes that's easy and it's literally just a sentence and everything flows.

The more stuck I get, the more I write out what the goal of the chapter is. And then break it down into scenes. So by the end, I might have 1000 words of notes about what needs to be included in the 6000-word chapter.

I'm very... immersive and try to get into characters' heads. One example of this is I have a notebook for each fic that fits the character's personality. So, like.. (okay this is weird), for my current WIP YMAEWK, Harry is a singer so the notebook I have for the fic is a leather bound one because I feel like it suits the fic/characters. Then another fic coming out has a teacher in it so the notebook I use for that is quite plain and gives off highschool teacher vibes.

And yeah, just a really big plotter. And when I struggle, I come back to the plot.

Okay, that was a lot.

💝what is a fic that got a different response than you were expecting?

Lol, so I have a burner ao3 account where I post things that I don't want to be associated with my actual account. Mainly just for pure smut so I get better at writing it. I wrote an outrageous one-shot that I was embarrassed to post even though it wasn't associated with me at all. Every few days I get an email saying it's gotten kudos and every time I'm like.. you have to be kidding me.

In general though, all of them. The fact they have readers is crazy. I'm surprised by the PA fic because people already seem invested which is great.

I'm really interested to see how a new WIP I'm releasing in two days is going to be received because the premise is so different to anything I've done.
