fic writer's asks hello snap thank you!!! <3 <3 <3

💫 what is your favorite kind of comment/feedback?

i am always so so touched when people tell me they've connected with some aspect of a fic on a personal level. i think it's an incredibly vulnerable thing to share with someone and i'm SO grateful when people choose to do that. 🌿 how does creating make you feel? to me, writing always feels more like a craft than anything else. it feels like assembling the pieces of something practical, like a chair or a table or something, then whittling down the pieces to make it look nice and function the way it's meant to function. i really respect people who write based on emotion and such but i am literally always thinking of the technical elements then slotting them together piece by piece.

sometimes when i say this people think i don't have an emotional connection to my work or that i'm approaching it from a mercenary perspective, but this is not it at all. i love writing and much of the writing i do is deeply personal. i just experience and approach it more as a craft than an art.

💌 share something with us about an up-and-coming work (WIP) that has you excited! SO i have finally started my kpop au in earnest for nanowrimo. i am very excited to share this -- it will in theory be my first slow burn & also encompasses a lot of thoughts i've had about mental illness and dependency (mostly healthy!) that i've had for a while. in terms of specific and concrete things, it's going to involve creating a lot of social media ephemera, which is one of my literal favourite things to do. i think (?) u have possibly seen this already but i will share L's author's note from this au. he is writing rpf about beyond (who is in this universe a kpop idol he and light are obsessed with.)

hey everyone  sorry it’s been a while … i don’t have a good excuse. my cat did die though so obviously i didn’t like that. rip. send me recs for new cat names ig. anyway i promise i’m still working on scarlet but i wanted to get this idea down first. beyond’s kind of mean in this at first but i wanted it to be realistic since in real life people don’t always “get” stuff like this … he gets nicer once he understands what’s going on though so don’t worry.
