Guess who’s crying because STAR WARS is full of feelings again? ALL OF US, THAT’S WHO. This is another collection designed to have at least a little something for almost everyone, whether you’re here for a ship or a certain era of the Saga or the greater SW tapestry, whether you want to cry about Anakin Skywalker or want to keep crying about the Rebels, whether you’re here for Leia Organa feelings or just want to roll around in a time travel that will hopefully eventually fix everything, there should hopefully be at least one fic that appeals! Star Wars fandom is so good at providing things to read (so much so that I still have at least a dozen novel-length fics on my reader that I haven’t even been able to start yet!) and so many of them are so, so worth your time to read. Bless all the authors making it even better to be a fan of this ridiculous series about space wizards and aliens and smugglers and good kids doing their best against an evil regime that wants to crush everyone!

Reblogging because I got another ask about this, but also wanted to add on that I’ve turned off comment notifications for the old account; someone left a comment on an unfinished fic talking about how they were so upset it hadn’t been updated since 2014. I replied that I was sorry I had done this to them. It was meant to be a fun joke, because I’d become “that fic writer”. Unfortunately, the person responded kind of begging me to finish. It wasn’t a great feeling. The next step might be orphaning all those old stories and closing the account completely.

I’m not the person I was when I wrote those stories; the Paxie that wrote those stories isn’t the Paxie that’s currently doing a ridiculous reimagining of the Sonic 3 and Knuckles story with my beloved Sonic Forces OC, Myla Emily Robinson, who is named after two of my favorite MST3K hosts (Emily Connor and Joel Robinson). I’m the Paxie that writes likes like “this isn’t a video game, there’s no way that was going to work!”

So yeah. That’s where this story ends.

Do you write anymore? I haven’t seen anything new from you in a long time :(

The short answer is yes, I still write. My recent fics, mostly in the Sonic the Hedgehog fandom, can be found here: https://archiveofourown.org/users/AKATheCupcakes

Most of them have “set lists” that I made on YouTube if you’re interested in that sort of thing, and I just started posted a new work there earlier this week.

The long answer… my old Ao3 account is still active; if anyone wanted to read my old stuff, they can definitely do so. The problem is… I’m not proud of some of that stuff anymore. A lot of it was written when I wasn’t happy and was under a few misguided impressions, one being that if I wrote when I was miserable, the writing would be better. Also, I thought some of the choices I made were good ways to show that a female character was strong, and I wrote what had happened to me thinking it’d be more realistic. When someone jumped on me for writing things that way and told me it was wrong, as in not something that happens in that situation, that fucked me up for a while. I will always love those stories, but I don’t want to be around them anymore if that makes sense. At the same time, I know they mean a lot to some people and because of that, I can’t bring myself to delete or orphan them. I’m not the same person I was when I wrote those stories, so it made sense for me to make a new account and start over.

I don’t really interact with that old account anymore; I get comment notifications but I turned off emails for kudos. I have some original work that I may post to my new Ao3 in the future, or maybe the random MCU fic I started forever ago that has way too many Flogging Molly references… but for right now, I’ve mostly been writing stories for myself, and if other people like them too? Fantastic.
