WIP Folder Game
I was tagged by @sagemoderocklee <3
Rules: Make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! Then tag as many people as you have WIPs.
Oof okay here we go. These are literally just named by what the document is called lol you'll see that many of them do not have proper titles unless they've already started being posted to ao3
Also, do outline-onlys count? I'm adding them

Having written a lot of complete, novel-length fics at this point... I want to say that it's a lot of work and that it's not weird to struggle to complete a creative project. I don't think it's a moral failing to have WIPs or abandoned works or ideas that just don't pan out for whatever reason. It's not a Bad Thing that you've done to yourself or to anyone else.
Like, I don't want to position myself as a big fandom authority here, I just want to speak from my experience and maybe reassure someone by agreeing that completing any creative project is not easy. I have WIPs and abandoned works you haven't seen. I have ideas that I know I'll never follow through on, both achievable and unachievable ones. Writing takes time and effort that has to be taken from elsewhere, and sometimes work is too exhausting and dinner still has to be made and decent sleep is too important, so you just can't do it. Dedicating time to any one hobby means less time for others and that kind of sucks sometimes. Sometimes, I just don't FEEL like writing and I'm not going to "suffer for my art".
It's flattering to be held in high esteem sometimes for writing long and complete fan stories (I have other fan creators I personally admire for similar reasons), but I do want to make it clear that it's a lot of work (writing is work no matter what you're writing!), I'm pretty lucky to be able to do that work more frequently than many others, and I personally don't think anyone should hold it against themselves (or against anyone else!) if circumstances get in the way. Sometimes, things just don't work out and we need to give ourselves time, or even just move on. I appreciate people's slow-to-update WIPs and abandoned works and stories on lengthy hiatus and fic ideas that will never be written.
So, like, if anyone is feeling a little down because they have a story that they're struggling with... I feel that. I don't think it's weird if your fanfiction is important to you or to feel like you've fucked it up somehow. I don't think you're a bad person or a bad writer if you take years to finish a story or if you have to give up on one because you've outgrown it. I think it's cool to share what you have if you want to share it. I think you're cool.

um hi here are little bits of wips :3 all of them are like, kinda abandoned rn but i'm trying!!
popular! seungkwan x introvert! reader
digging through his bag, seungkwan pulled out a jacket for you. “here, wear it. if you're going to be here to keep me company then you will do it warm!”
“but won’t you be cold once you’re out of practice?” you held the jacket in your hands.
how svt cuddle, hoshi!
hoshi loves loves LOVES nuzzling into you. doesn't matter where, the neck? nuzzle. the top of the head? nuzzle. he also likes laying on top of you, he treats you as a personal pillow at all times, though it's usually just his head on you so he doesn't hurt you.
summer camp! (i don't actually have any ideas for this, so send some in if you have any!) it's all of svt but im considering making it a series where all the boys have an individual fic?
you looked fondly on the clearing, recalling so many memories from your childhood. soon, the campers from the city would be pouring into the field, excited–or maybe, just a little peeved that they had to be separated from their family and friends– for the start of the summer.
wonwoo x implied aromantic! reader! (this is pretty self indulgent tbh. also, not all aromantic ppl never end up in relationships! it's a spectrum)
books and other hobbies occupied your attention. it's not like you never noticed cute people, you had eyes of course, but you chalked it up to just aesthetic attraction and not romantic. and when your college literature class first began, you assumed it was the same thing. jeon wonwoo was, objectively, really cute.
girl group stan! seungkwan x boy group stan! reader— smau! (heavily HEAVILY wip. don't expect this anytime soon)
reader: “WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT [IDOL] HUH???”
seungkwan: “JIHYOS BETTER. JEALOUSY IS A DISEASE GET BETTER SOON😘”
legally blonde au! elle! dk x emmett! reader, based more on the musical than the movie!
“sorry! i- that came out wrong. i don't mean to judge but, for a girl? who doesn't even like you?”
“it's love!” he argued. “i love her and she loves me,”
“...you sound insane, you know,”
“i know…” he sighed, holding his head in his hands, “just, we dated for years before this, we were together since senior year of high school!”
college au! both reader and dk are leads of the same musical! dk x reader (yes this is also legally blonde based PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE I WAS IN A PHASE) (also, HEAVYYYY WIP. NOT CURRENTLY BEING WORKED ON)
soulmate au! no one rn actually x reader! (this is the final boss of all my wips i started this back in october of last year so we'll find out if it makes it out of the trenches)
he grabbed your wrist, your compasses calming down at the touch.
“found you,” he grinned, eyes bright and breathless.
and that's it! feel free to come talk to me about your favs, maybe they'll make it out of the trenches<3

Badly Summarized WIP Poll
Rules: Pick a bunch of your WIPs and summarize them as badly as possible, then ask your followers to vote on which one they'd be most likely to read. Multiple/all/none options are completely optional.
…oh damn. lol, there’s so many. Ok, let’s see…I’ll do a couple of the cartoons I’m planning as well and offer multiple and none as options. Some I’ve partially abandoned but want to start again, some are actively being worked on
1) The Good Nurse
2) A Knight As Pretty As Hollyhock Blooms (part one of a planned trilogy with a possible spinoff)
3) The God and The Poet (sequel to gods and kings)
4) Sun Cracked Witch Glass (formerly known as no story for the history books, book one in a trilogy also being worked on)
5) l0VrB0i
6) Gods and Kings (prequel to the god and the poet)
7) Go Go Night Crew
8) Bodies Are My Hobby
Ok, so maybe the one that gets the most votes at the end of the week I sit down and get draft one done lol
