Do you have any fics in the works? Tell us about them!Looking forward to any other writer's upcoming fics? Tell us about them too!
My wip folder is never empty, darling. I don't know if it's a good or a bad thing to say it, given the number of unfinished works I have there, but oh well...
I haven't had much time to write. You know... real life, bills, family, more bills... 😵 and of course I procrastinate a lot (I blame Netflix Brasil for getting Downton Abbey and all the Turkish diziler I find online 🤦🏻♀️). But I write sometimes. Not every day. Not most days of the week as I used to do before. But I'm still writing.
The one wip I'm actually half way through is a Hamid x MC xmas fic. I know you're thinking "but it's almost February! And Prince Hamid is Muslim!" and you're right. But Daphne is Christian, very fond of Christmas, Hamid loves a nice social gathering and finding any reason to tease his favorite girl and we do not follow the real life calendars in here, so why not?
Among the series I write, earlier this month I was working on Meant To Be (Desire & Decorum modern day AU) chapter... 27? (I lost count... 🙈) Anyway, I think the next two chapters will finally explain why I label it as a Soulmates AU. There's a Sinclaire and Daphne awkward scene here, a little Sinclaire x Alisha moment there... But nothing too dramatic for now.
There's also Jade and Liam's For The World to Know. Tbh I have no idea what chapter I am (I'm getting super lazy on this because Tumblr and AO3 count the chapters automatically for me 😅). They're just a couple of weeks away from the wedding, they're getting joint a bachelor and bachelorette party, there's some heart to heart talk with Hana (these girls need it), Leo is joining them in Vegas (and we all know he often brings drama) and there's Drake situation to be solved. I'm close to reaching the end of FTWTK and I wish I could really start Happily Ever After (instead of just posting a few one shots of them married) because I've been daydreaming about the plot for years (the story will be soooooo good, ugh!), but I don't know... If I managed to finish FTWTK (or just The Fives Stages since there's only two more chapters left), I'll take it as a win.
Last year, I also remembered I never finished my Bloodbound series. A while ago, I got a comment on AO3 from someone who wanted me to extend the series and I thought about doing it, but at this point I wouldn't know how to do it. I'd probably have to create a new plot since the one I started back then is nearly solved. But that would demand time to replay Bloodbound to find inspiration and, unluckily, that's something I don't have lately. I started planning a chapter with Adrian x OC (any Adrian stans still out there?), then I'll write one more chapter to wrap it up.
There are other Desire & Decorum AUs and a TRR AU, but I haven't touched those wips in months... I rather not make any promises regarding any of those stories for now.
Other than that, there are a few one shots planned:
A Thomas Mendez x Ayla (+ Stephanie and Luz) inspired by one of my favorite Brazilian memes and a scene of a 2010 romcom. I can't explain why I'm doing this... The muse wants what the muse wants 😂
A few ficlets (or short stories, depending on how inspired I am when I actually sit down to write) to answer some OTP asks for Hamid x Daphne and Nate x Stella (TWC). I was debating if I'd include Liam x Jade, but I might give away the plot of Happily Ever After in one of the questions, so nope 😅
When it comes to other people's stuff, I don't know... I'm not super active on Choices (or any fandom, for that matter) and I'm not familiar with most of the fandom and what people have been writing lately. I do have my faves (@missameliep @lilyoffandoms @storyofmychoices @princess-geek @noesapphic ) and they still write from time to time, but I'm not going to pester them for new fics. They have their own lives and write whenever they can. As a fan of their work, I respect their writing pace and I'm simply glad they're still here.
Thanks for the ask, anon!

Poor Alex, party split during heavy emotional scenes all around. Right, I don't want to call him Carter because SG1 Carter doesn't deserve to have her name sullied but my only association with Howard is Stark and he does. So I will be calling Cursed Drunk Guy Howard even if it risks sounding affectionate Howard completely misses Sasha's tone as she sarcastically says maybe the curse is responsible for *a bunch of things across decades that couldn't possibly be effected* Grizzop tries to kick some sense into him, good luck Ben is having fun Azu/Helen don't know what to do with his pity party "I think this gone a bit of a sex thing" Grizzop on him and Azu trying to knock sense into Howard, who keeps encouraging them Of course it would be the Tahan branch; 5 minutes to let Hamid deal with the fallout of the nuclear explosion that passes for his family and catch his breath is not to much to ask for. Not even the branch they are dragging Howard to Hamid's house in full paparazzi mode Alex does have a compulsion to make his characters hate-able, there is seriously an essay in there if it wasn't line crossing to analyze a real person directly "out and about" That's one way to describe it Azu. Poor Hamid has to catch them up, the paladin twins are caught up on justice. Sasha is caught up on the shared name. Sasha is the only one who is actually tracking rather than demanding explanation from Hamid and that's because she has a rank in cynicism. "Hamid's rich"-Sasha explaining why Jr won't be going to jail Hamid, paladins don't really get nuance as a concept. Just stick to "it was my Dad's idea and trying to expose him as lying to protect Jr would just mean both would be in worse trouble" and try to focus on the idea that Jr will be being punished just in a way that keeps the rest of the family from being smeared by his actions. Ben is having too much fun using Grizzop to torture Hamid Hamid is a prison abolitionist, I knew he was perfect. *deletes essay on how just locking someone away isn't actually doing anybody any good* *deletes another on how Dover isn’t necessarily representative of jails in this world* Azzop want to just turn him into the cops Hamid threatens to break up the band if they turn over his brother and drops his own crime on them without context Hell yeah Hamid, if they can't listen for a moment and at least explore the idea of justice separate from the law then screw 'em. Paladins go extra judicial all the time in the other direction they could at least spitball a few "what if he does all the worst jobs at an orphanage until he dies" or they discretely ask the family of the guard if they prefer him to be exiled without recourse to his name or use his power solely work in the city on the guard's favorite cause. Even if all the idea are shot down, exploring why they won't work would shore up the argument for arresting him. Perception check. Nickle says Jr was listening Howard was here the whole time and is blaming Hamid? No, Barret Howard is back to blaming Hamid or at least his family. Damn Alex and his breaks Hamid was in exile and you broke in! That better not be the break in that started this mess Sasha is so disenchanted with Hamid, I hope she doesn't write him off like Bertie Azu gets Howard to use his words. Nickle says inside guy was Jr Called it You broke in, how is it their fault you suffered consequences after you chose to break in Time for Jr to spill Sasha is back and cynical as hell No one is your friend Howie, we just need the info Can't you just spell him sober? Hamid is finally using his words Azzop just slow your roll Grizzop is this helping in any way? Of course my sweet dragonling picks up on the pain Sasha is in, even as his entire team is on a "you and your family are everything that's wrong in the world" tear Screw you Grizzop Yeah it is your fault Jr Grizzop you are on such thin ice, I really did come to like you as much as Zolf but if you really think Hamid is evil for wanting to talk to his team about what to do... Yeah it really is both of your faults Howard, Jr Be useful Grizzop Azu is willing to at least consider the idea of mitigating circumstances in the form of a curse Is them both trying to drink themselves to death part of the curse or is it just a fair assessment of the utter lack of coping skills in rich men? (Yeah, maybe I should cut Jr more slack it's an addiction but increasing the amount and trying to get Barret to Resurrect his victim is not exactly stepping up) Grizzop glad you are willing to consider a next step other than hanging the entire Tahan family but maybe going directly to one of the your borderline God Kings is skipping a few steps. People talk about this type of show making people expect their friends to play like pro comedians but I don't think enough is said about how regular GMs probably shouldn't aim to emulate Alex "The Web" Newall. His sub plots have sub plots, and he is the finest Xanatos speed chess player I have ever seen. Azu comes through to save the day Is there an audio version of gifs? Because I want to be able to drop "would it be morally wrong to gag him?" as a sensible comment on any number of tumblr arguments Love Ben, Grizzop still has a little making up to do before he is back in my good books Alex lampshades the failure of his comeback Told you they could sober them up Can you cast "talk linearly"? Fairhands has bedside manner, was beginning to think that didn't exist in this world Oh thank Aphrodite they shut up Thanks Grizzop Jr. is actually innocent? You can't end *starts muttering mantra*But we respect his craft, but we respect his craft, but we... That is so Ben, I love him but his first instinct is to justify his character's decision. Not whether it was in character or moved the plot along, but Grizzop was right based on the information he had. I have to be the only one who's take away isn't "they nearly condemned an innocent" but "that means that Sr isn't going away; his poor family, can't they get him on obstruction or something?" Oh and Hamid? My dearest dragonling? Give them the full story of how you got kicked out of school soon, using the words "unintended" and "Gideon switched the formula" a lot. Azzop get a bit fevered over law equals good; Sasha is going through a Barret related breakdown & seems to think the Tahans are a Mafia family. Which leads to a whole conversation on the inherently criminal nature of that level of wealth in a world where Other London is a) a thing and b) isn't alone.
