#i’m putting this in my list of graceland things i’m gonna write

[jgracie]

sunshine and sparky where sunshine asks sparky if she can draw him and he's just like 😮😮😮 you want to draw me??? but he's also like 😁😁😁 omg my silly pretty talented gf wants to draw ME

YES omg stop artistic sunshine!!!!! artistic sunshine who draws all her siblings and her friends and family and everyone she loves because focusing on every tiny little detail of their features is the way she shows love!!!! keeping them permanent by putting them in her little sketchbook is the way she shows love!!!!! so it’s only natural for her to eventually build up the courage to ask jason if she can draw him too!!!!!!! and ever perceptive jason has known before they even became friends that sunshine drawing someone is a huge deal to her so he’s like you want to draw ME???? ☹️☹️☹️ he’s never felt more special in his life omg 😣 so he tries his hardest to sit still and not laugh when she’s staring at his lips like that because he knows she’s just trying to draw the scar perfectly!!!! but also her staring at his lips has him staring at her lips and all of a sudden he wishes she wouldn’t draw anymore if u know what i mean 😫

Tagging - I have absolutely no idea of who did it already so I’ll blindly tag @mamey2422 @sdktrs12 @xstrawmari @juuuunaaaaoooo and @nottonyharrison

Well I did this a while ago, but I guess a couple of things have changed ever since...

ao3 name: Well, not everything. It’s still BourbonOnTheRocks, haha!

fandoms: Still Good Girls. Graceland if you squint really hard, and hopefully Crazy Ex-Girlfriend one day...

number of fics: 16 (which is. Insane.)

fic I spent the most time on: Lol. It’s All Coming Back To Me has been a work in progress for like 8 months now, so it has to be this one? Although if one counts strictly in terms of time spent on it, and doesn’t includes the literal weeks I spend without actually opening my doc, it... still might be it because ugh, ten chapters already! But I did spend an unreasonable amount of time on Take A Dip too, and the more I go the more time I tend to spend on writing and editing, so it could be any fic... Also have you considered the highest time spent/words count ratio?? Cause that would probably change the answer a little bit.

fic I spent the least amount of time on:  Well, it’s still He’s not Dumb which was started from scratch, written and posted in less than three hours. I probably won’t ever reiterate this performance.

most hits: Still Love And War, for chronological reasons.

most kudos: The last time I played this game I predicted that It’s All Coming Back To Me would eventually top every category... And it probs would have. But then the kudos bombing happened (lol), so it’s finally Take A Dip (but directly followed by the former).

most comments: It’s All Coming Back To Me

most bookmarks: It’s All Coming Back To Me

highest total word count: Love And War

favourite fic I wrote: No. No. No. I won’t pick one favourite among my babies!!!! But I’m very satisfied at the moment with We're Living In A Powder Keg And Giving Off Sparks and Take A Dip. I put a lot of work in the characterizations, and these two were also my first post-S3 canon-ish fics and finding the right tone wasn’t easy, but both of those fics came out pretty satisfyingly.

Oh and I love my envelope crackfic too -- and not only because now Four Seasons In One Day isn’t alone anymore in the least kudos category -- but mostly because since I have a taste for angst, I hardly ever write tooootally fun stuff. I mean I try to bring some comical relief even in my darkest stories, but Envelopes Comin' In The Mail, Let Her Open 'Em was the first time I allowed myself to write something fully for the fun, which is something I don’t indulge in very often.

fic I want to rewrite/expand on: Oooooof... Obviously if I had an unlimited amount of time and motivation, I’d probably rewrite Love And War because it makes me cringe so much right now!!!! But I can’t say that such a prospect enthralls me at all. I also have a drafted ‘five years later” epilogue/fifth chapter to A Reason To Fight that I’m not sure I want to post yet, I haven’t decided if it would do any good to the story or not.

Other than that... I mean I already have too many new fics to write/edit, I’m not gonna start giving myself more work with expansions!!!

share a bit of a wip or story idea you’re working on: So I’m totally aware that the last time i played this game I shared a sneak peek to the Good Girls/Crazy Ex Girlfriend crossover promising it would come out soon, and it was like three months ago, and that fic’s still not on top of my posting list... I’ll try not to repeat my past mistakes, and will share an unedited excerpt of the second chapter of the Western AU, hoping that it will not eventually curse it, haha.

He watches her yanking the man down the other horse with quite a deliberate absence of care, and he'd swear she let him fall down the ground in purpose. The man loudly groans in protests and Rio can't completely repress a gasp at the sight of the man's face.

Now don't get him wrong. He's seen some pretty ugly shit back then in the army. It takes more than just a little blood to upset him, it's just -- it's the idea that she did this. Probably with her bare hands cause she exudes a general rejection of the basic concept of tools.

"Jeez, you could have spared his bone structure!" he scolds.

"Think he deserved it?" she immediately bites back with an irritated wave of her head as she inflicts a string of rapid kicks to the guy's butt until he's on his feet, his hands still tied up in his back.

As if on sync with her rhetorical question, the man spits some blood with a groan. Pretty sure there's a tooth too in the repulsive mixture that drops and draws a crimson star on the dusty ground.

"She's crazy, man! I might need facial surgery for that!" the man yelps in a high-pitched, strangled voice.

Rio smirks, takes his time to blatantly ignore the guy's complaint, his stare focused on her. She stares back at him, challenging, a light of triumph ready to ignite in her deep blue eyes. Cause obviously the pathetic loser whining in front oh him deserved it -- this and more. He can't contradict her on that. But...

"Ain't the point, sweetheart."

Elizabeth rolls her eyes with an exasperated glare.

  (Guess who the beaten up man is for another sneak peek!!!)
