Ask game :

🛳️🎃

🛳: Are there any new ships you want to write for? (Platonic, romantic, or anything in between.)

Honestly just gonna try to focus on the fics I have now, which hopefully means I can work more on the NikPrice and GazAlex stuff I have.

🎃 Do you plan on writing any seasonal fics?

I actually had an idea for something for Halloween this year and I just couldn't get the time to focus on it, and I quickly lost the energy for it. I'd love to have it done before October cause it's a long one shot thing, but I'd be fine with it being my seasonal fic for next year. Could also be persuaded to write something about the Riley family's relationship with Christmas 👀

Here's the ask game!

[winryrockbellwannabe]

Hii! 2, 4 and 19 for the end of year asks! 💗

Hi Nico!! Ty for the ask💗

2. Album of the year?

Uuh, that's a tough question. I very rarely listen to entire albuns, so im scared of saying one that has one terrible song I haven't heard ahaha

I guess Short n' Sweet by Sabrina Carpenter is a safe choice. I listened to almost all of it, and it has a lot of bangers, i love so many songs in there. (also i've been a fan of Sabrina for ... 10 years now? wtf? so im so happy that she finally is getting the love she deserves)

3. Movie of the year?

hmmmmm idk actually. The only 2024 movie i watched and enjoyed was Haikyuu: the Dumpster Battle LOL. Overall, another movie i first watched this year and really enjoyed was Castle in the Sky :))

19. What’re you excited about for next year?

Ahhh so many things!!!

First of all, next semester my uni best friends are both going on Erasmus, so I'm definitely excited for them to do that, and also for myself. I think it will be an interesting experience for me, being without my two closest friends that have been with me since the first year of uni. Also, hopefully I'll be able to visit them while their abroad (cross fingers for me!!🤞)

Academically, im really excited to start my master's dissertation in September. And I'm also excited for some classes I'll be having.

Katabasis by R.F. Kuang will come out in August next year, i literally can't wait!! I have the day saved on my calendar and everything. Also the new Hunger Games book!

Also, a more minor thing, ig, i already have my journal for next year, and i can't wait to be able to use it ahaha

5 & 11 für das Askgame bitte 🥰

5: Which WIP is first on your list to complete this year? Will you post a snippet?

Wie immer schreibe (und denke) ich an mehreren Ideen gleichzeitig. Meine längeren FF haben unterschiedliche Ansprüche an mich und daher weiß ich nicht was wirklich zuerst kommt. Vermutlich ist es aber das hier:

Er versuchte, die Lichter, den Lärm und die Menschen um ihm herum auszublenden. Die tanzende Masse unter ihm auf der Tanzfläche des Clubs, er stand etwas erhöht darüber, das Geländer hoch und das Licht diffus genug (…) Da, gegenüber, ein paar Meter entfernt, stand ein junger Mann, (…) und starrte zu ihm, hob sich in unregelmässigen Abständen eine Flasche Bier an den Mund und hörte nicht auf zu ihm zu blicken. Die Augen durchbohrten ihn regelrecht, er begann zu schwitzen. (…) Ein Mann kam zu dem Typen, der andere drehte sich mit einem Lächeln zu ihm und schon – küssten sie sich.

(Aus dramaturgischen Gründen gekürzt). Dieses Bild rennt mir seit Anfang 2023 nach.

11: Would you like to try any new fanfic genres or tropes this year?

Ich glaube ich kann dieses Jahr „Ex to lovers“ neu bedienen. Im Genre-Bereich kann es mal etwas mehr Drama geben - und generell etwas mehr Streit in allen FF (Eine Versöhnung kann ja auch was schönes sein). Es wird eventuell vermutlich auch etwas schmerzhaft sein, doch man weiß wohl mittlerweile was man erwarten kann von mir ;)

Alle „New Year“-Fragen findet ihr hier 💛

for the fanfic end of the year asks~ 12, 14, and 25! 🥰💖

Kate! Welcome to the ask box, dear!

12. Favorite character to write about this year?

Ok look, Chris is the love of my life. The Most Wonderful Time of the Year was so fun to write and I absolutely LOVE that Chris.

14. A fic you didn't expect to write?

I can't find the link because I forgot to put it on my masterlist, but I wrote a Jongho comfort drabble literally while I was at work. It wasn't planned, I just felt sad and wrote comfort for myself.

25. A fic you read this year you would recommend everyone read?

I will say this until I die, but Star Lost With You is so so SO good. @kwanisms freak out about this together every time a new chapter comes out. I could also go on about Ki for days but her More Than Just Friends and Library of Illusions series really hit hard for me. OH! and her Did You See That which is the sequel to Did You Hear That is so good. Last one I promise, but 3 Tangerines by @kithtaehyung I've been following it since it started and I will love this story long after it's finished. I have recs for days.

[pearlypairings]

I like those “upcoming year” asks! Can I have #6 please? 🎶💕

love this one losty!!

6. Is there a song or a playlist that you want to be the mood setter for your year?

It's a fun silly bop and I hope my year is half as eccentric as this deeee-lite of a song!!!!

[shrinkthisviolet]

16 & 24 for the Fan Fic New Year ask game!

16. Do you have that one fanfic that you wrote a ton for, ages ago, but never posted? Will this be the year, come hell or high water, that it WILL get finished and posted?

Yep, I have two! The Bumizumi time travel AU (Book 1 fic)...and the ck interlude fic 😅 and...man I hope so. I miss those AUs, and I do intend to get back to them, it's just hard when the Flash and Star Wars are my current fixations (and CK and ATLA are more inactive fandoms for me currently). I do hope I can post more of those fics this year, but...it would surprise me if I actually ended up doing that 😅

24. By the end of this year, you want your fandom to think of you as “that author who _______.”

“that author who really loves platonic soulmatism” for sure 😂

11, 13 and 18!

11. Something you want to do again next year

This is so awesome and specific and I am so glad that I can answer it! This year, in September, I got to go to New York and see Thursday with my best friend. It was incredibly special and so much fun. Next year, in February, we are planning to do it again. I am even more excited this time, because we are going to stay for two nights and really do it up right. I feel so lucky!

13. How was your birthday this year?

My birthday this year was absolute dog shit. We were moving houses and everyone was overwhelmed and cranky. I did not feel well. It was scorching outside. Things just really did not go well. The plans that I made didn't happen. I was all around incredibly sad and lonely. Things did get a whole lot better in the following months, so that is a nice silver lining. Looking back, it is wonderful to see how far I have come since then.

18. A memorable meal this past year?

Funny enough, it was take out from an Indian restaurant that we ate sitting on the couch while watching TV. It wasn't anything grand or super fancy. It was just incredibly good food, and a nice, relaxed day with people I love. That is my ideal, if I'm being honest.

Also, I had been looking for a good place to get Indian food for a while and I found one, so that was exciting.

Thank you for sending me questions to answer! This was so fun. <3 <3 <3

[slashercult]

Hello. Thank you for the new year prediction game!

Something good that happened to me this year was that i processed some feelings i was holding onto. It was a tough but liberating moment. I learned the importance of reading psychological books as they help me go through life alot more smoothly.

A mini prediction for you next year is that a big or a good opportunity will come your way (be it career wise or take it as it resonates) , it will make you stressful ( i felt stress a bit while channeling ) but that feeling will pass and you'll feel great later on that you took this opportunity.

A youtube video that brings me comfort is "some rough advice for the real world" by vlogbrothers. I'm a teen ( soon to be an adult ) and that video comforts me alot. You can watch it anytime you want. But ig if you're adult and have already gone through stuffs and epiphanies then this might be a bit boring for you. So i have one more video suggestions for you and that is– "a girl proposes to a nurse on anesthesia" it's an adorable video.

The question i wanna ask is 🕯️- what should i focus on the next year?

I hope november is going nice for you. Take care

hello!! thank you for participating in this game! i hope the mini prediction that you had for me that more opportunities will come through. as for the video you sent, im not an adult yet as well, i use this blog to mainly give free readings and occasionally exchange readings to get more practice. tarot is a hobby for me and it makes me really happy to see the different ways that it has helped people. but im getting off track here - the video that you sent was really helpful, im at a weird time in my life where i am confused as to what i want for myself in the future so it really resonated, thank you! this is getting a bit too long so let's move on to your reading then shall we?

your energy as of right now: temperance, the fool, the devil (r) what should you focus on in 2024: three of cups, the star (r), nine of pentacles (r) oracle cards: the elk and the ash (strength)

i type and then pull out more cards when i usually do readings, so i don't know what will come next after im done typing something. it's almost like its my train of thought in a way, anyways i hope you enjoy. for your current energies, i got only major arcana cards, all of which carry really good news, so im seeing that you are at a really stable place right now. the image coming into mind is a very serene and calm scene at the beach right after a storm. the crabs and little creatures are ready to come out and explore all that the beach has to offer. the first card that you got was temperance, which shows me that you already have a vision of what it is you want to achieve from the new year. it's also showing that you have recently found peace within yourself and are putting your skills to good use. the fool is also saying that you are ready to embrace new changes in your life. you are at a point in your journey where you are ready to try new things and be more authentic to yourself. you're excited for the new opportunities that the new year has to offer. the devil reversed just confirms this even further, by showing that you are reclaiming your power. you are not going to back down again and let everything be swept away by the waves before you have the chance to be near it. the new year is the perfect opportunity to spend more time with family, friends, anyone that you really love and cherish. the cards are also telling me that you shouldn't feel afraid to turn to others for support when you need it, because im seeing that there are a lot of people who want you to succeed in the new year. there may be times in the new year where you feel as though everything is turned against you, but the cards assure that if you are able to keep being hopeful and surrounding ourselves with positive energy you will be able to effectively deal with this lack of motivation/creativity. 2024 is the time for you to take a few steps back from everything and relax and regain your strength. the oracles are guiding you to remember your strengths, because much like the elk and the ash, you are strong and are able to withstand the days when the weather is tough and harsh. that's all for your reading, please don't forget to leave feedback, i hope you enjoyed and have a wonderful new year!

Since there are a lot of “end of the year” asks, how about a “upcoming year asks”. So, what is in sight for the new year?

Will some project carry thought from last year into this one? Talk about it 5. Name your top 3 goals for this year 6. Is there a song or a playlist that you want to be the mood setter for your year? 7. Is the concept of a “new year” with its resolutions meaningful to you? 8. How did you spend New Year’s Day? 9. Is there a book you’re planning to read this year?  10. Is there a movie you’re excited to see this year? 11. What makes you hopeful when it comes to this year?  12. A phrase or a word you hope to use a lot this year 13. Any thoughts on the new year ahead?

[elvenking42]

8, 11, and 19 for that end of the year ask!

8. Game of the Year?

God this is always such a hard question to answer. In terms of games released this year I guess The Stanley Parable: Super Deluxe! I played the game when it originally game out YEARS ago and I adored it. It was such a treat to revisit the game again and the new content was so wonderfully done. It makes me so happy to play and seeing it be widely loved by others makes it even better!

11. Something you want to do again next year?

This year I ended up hosting a big Halloween party with some friends I haven't seen in person in a few years! It was a great party and I had SO much fun seeing everyone again. I also handed out disposable cameras to everyone and got the photos developed. It was such a blast and I'd love to do it again!

19. What are you excited about next year?

Honestly I don't really know! I don't have anything significant planned next year so I guess I'm looking forward to the Barbie movie and the Super Mario movie!

For the new year ask game!

[whumpdoyoumean]

5, 13, 18 for new year fic asks?

5. The first WIP on my list to finish in 2023 is a Bastard Son and the Devil Himself Gabriel whump fic! Here is a tiny snippet:

So he takes a deep breath and wrenches himself free, muffling the cry that bubbles up in his chest and throat. His ankle is red and slick with blood, two jagged gouges oozing the stuff, but he can put weight on it okay and he’s got to keep moving.

13. I want to try drawing more fanart. I got Procreate recently, and I'm really eager to try my hand at digital art! I also want to make some nerdy cross stitch 😁

18. Usually when I got into a multi-chaptered fic, I go in with the intention of writing the whole thing before I post. Unfortunately, my patience usually runs out a few chapters in and I end up starting to post before I'm finished writing, which is how I came to have two abandoned WIPs on my Ao3😬I am hoping to get myself out of that bad habit!

[snootlestheangel]

Good luck with surgery! I hope you have a speedy recovery and in the meantime a distraction: 💖🐌🦖🥳🎃💥🎉

Thank you friend! Here's the ask game!

🎃 answered here!

💖 What is your primary writing goal for this year?

Honestly to finish at least one WIP. I have so many and I really thought I'd be in a different place with half of them by now but this year was so rough that I am just gonna focus on getting at least one finished. Primarily Of Earthly Things and the Left4Dead au

🐌 What is one of your smallest writing goals?

This is kind of the same as the previous question. I want to set small goals for myself this year, so honestly? Writing at least 1,000 words each week is my smallest goal. It's very achievable so long as I actually set aside a little time each day to write, so this will hopefully help keep me motivated

🦖 Are there any fandoms you wrote for in the past that you'd like to return to?

Absolutely would love to go back to writing Overwatch

🥳 How are you going to celebrate when you achieve one of your writing goals?

Its gonna have to be something special, so I'll have to think on it. In my head, my official writing goals are finish certain fics and write minimum 1k words each week, so idk. For each week maybe it's a movie with popcorn and/or sweets. For finishing a fic, it's gotta be a good celebration so like idk yet

💥Is there a chapter, scene, or WIP you're most excited to write? Share a snippet or tell us about it!

Theres so many of each! There's so many things coming up in Of Earthly Things that I cannot wait to get to and share with y'all. I can't wait to finish the Left4Dead au cause I just love that fic and I hope I'm doing the feeling you get playing that game justice. I also can't wait to actually start sharing some of my unposted WIPs like the royal au, the other zombie au, the assassin Ghost au... there's a lot of aus....

🎉 How are you going to be kind to yourself if you don't meet your goals?

Oh boy this question gets me. For the weekly writing goal, I'm going to make sure I write out my week each Sunday and detail everything I have to do (especially once I get back into work and then eventually school). I won't let myself get mad if I can't reach the goal one week because I'll look back over my list of things to do that week and weigh how much time I had to write, and then weigh in how much energy I probably would have had during those times. I'll make sure I understand there's only so much I can accomplish in a week, and if I can't write 1,000 words that aren't related to school or work or anything, then that's okay.

As for the bigger goals of finishing fics, I have no idea

[lyranova]

1 and 13 for the ask game please! ❤️‍🔥

Of course Laura and I’m so sorry I forgot to answer this yesterday!

1. Are you looking forward to something in particular this year?

Ooo I have a lot of stuff to look forward to when it comes to my hobbies 😆. I have multiple season 2’s for kdrama’s that are coming out, i also have JJK season 2, I have the Black Clover movie, I *might* have the second part of a video game coming out at the end of the year 🤔. As far as my personal life…I don’t really have much tbh, maybe trying to get a job? Or even being able to take the College entrance exams? That’s about it 🤔😂!

13. Any thoughts on the new year ahead?

Hm, I’m not too sure 🤔. I always hope this New Year will be better than last year, and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t 😂! So i guess the only thoughts I have about this new year is that, while it can’t all be an entirely good year, hopefully there’s a lot more good/good things than bad things 🥰!

[papierflamingo]

Nr 8 und 18 vom Askgame bitte ☺️🤗

8: Is there a story idea in your mental vault that you’ve never been brave enough to try writing? Is this the year? Can you tell us about it?

Es scheitert bei mir nie am Mut, sondern am Wissen, was ich kann - und was nicht. Ich bin in die Ecke RomCom gebucht, mit Schwerpunkt Fluff und Humor und Established Relationship :) Drama pur liegt mir schlecht, Mega große FF mit sehr vielen Fäden und Protagonisten stressen mich mehr als sie mich glücklich machen. Ich traue mich aber im diesem Jahr an eine FF, in der nicht sofort alles Sweet und happy ist - wenn mich JK nicht doch noch manipulieren und es softer gestalten als gedacht :D (meine Beta wird das zu verhindern wissen 😘)

18: Do you typically post multi-chapters as you write, or finish it all and then start posting? Would you like to change your posting method? 

Gute Frage!! Yogieren für Anfänger und Das, was ich will, bist du waren „live“. Bei meinen Yogis hatte ich einen Plan und viel vorgeschrieben - aber nicht bei den anderen, deswegen waren so lange Pausen zwischen den Kapiteln. Das wird geändert ✌🏻Wenn auch nicht alles bis ins letzte Komma ausgeschrieben wird, so möchte ich diesmal zu einem Ende kommen bevor das erste Kapitel online geht, um einen schönen Rhythmus für den Leser zu haben und mich nicht so zu stressen. (Ja ich bin selbst sehr gespannt wie das funktioniert)

Alle „New Year“-Fragen findet ihr hier 💛

[yoonguurt]

i wanna play! for the ask game, i wanna know the answers to 18, 19, and 30 😽 love you lots!

(also if you didn’t know it’s solar <3)

MY BABY!!!!!!!!!

18. Current number of wips?

With the one I am currently about to start writing, 6

19. Any new fics to start next year?

Quite a few, actually. I went through my docs and sorted everything out and I will be rebooting a few of my old fics and I have new things planned!

30. Favorite fandom to read fics from this year?

Stray Kids or Seventeen. I think they will always be at the top of my list since 3 out of 4 ults are in those groups.
