#the crossover with Freddy is fun but it could've been so much more

No joke, I've re-watched every Friday The 13th movie over the last twelve days, I need a warm chocolate at the very least least…

Hiya! 😊 You're now a writer for the show. What three episode storylines are you gonna write? (In other words, what are you gonna make the boys do?)

ohm y god i literally have so many episode ideas but i'll try not to repeat any of the ones i've made posts about (except my first bullet bc im so passionate about it) so i'll give you my big list. most if not all will likely be something i DO end up writing about in my own story because ehehe i love making them do things

ones i think i've mentioned before:

a returning to minnesota chapter!! not for anything but nostalgia, getting to see the guy's favorite places, seeing their friends and families, bringing them back to realize how far they'd come. not so shy spon for my fic but i wrote a chapter like this last month and it's probably one of my favorite things i've written to date. it let me explore some of the boys' past, family dynamics, a little bit about Katie and agh i can't believe btr didn't capitalize on that at least once. ik its expensive to fund sets and hire new actors but idk i imagine it like an hour special where they could afford to shell out a bit more. idc when it happens, could be after they sign their record contract or the last episode or whatever :)

sketch comedy episode, something akin to saturday night live or so random

graduation! like you and i talked about lol i think it would be sweet

get me in the writers room stat:

originally i'd planned a "home alone lost in new york" like chapter for my story around thanksgiving where the boys are going to perform at the parade in town but they end up having their own adventure around the city beforehand. boyish antics, screaming gustavo, beautiful scenes, the works. i was just in too much of a slump to actually put it to paper :)

more tour-focused chapters (again, spon for my own fic lol) the episode in Canada was cute and the one on the bus was fun but idk there's just so many elements toward touring that i think they could've capitalized on; homesickness (for CA or MN), hardship of a go go go schedule, or fun things like being able to travel with your best friends and not ending up on the world's most wanted list lol. i know they tried really hard with this one so i don't blame them too much but my vision is just different and that's okay!

crossovers! while i'm so very happy dan schnider didn't have either of his disgusting hands in big time rush, i do remember watching the icarly/victorious crossover for the first time and wishing big time rush were there. it takes place in LA! the victorious kids are singers! carly, sam, and Freddie are pop culture experts! it would've worked really well :) so i'm writing that as a chapter for my fic LMAO

generally either an episode focusing in on or more scenes including james and lucy since the writers wanted them to be together so bad. inherently there's nothing wrong with them being together, but i do not think the relationship was given enough time to develop. give me lucy discovering her feelings for him, give me james not being creepy and obsessive about her; something more needed to be done on both of their parts to make me believe in it

additionally on that note more with jo/kendall and logan/camille; i love them both but they also had little development, just more than james/lucy. maybe they give carlos a gf (not alexa IMO, sorry. that got into weird territory for me idk why they made him be with a "real" person when he isn't other than they were already together irl) earlier and they can all have like conversations about their gfs and how much they love being together idk

and another generally, there were many songs btr put out that i love so much and feel like deserved their own episodes for hehe. i know not all of them have storylines easily transposed but i think they used confetti falling like four different times in the last season when any other love song from their third album could have been placed instead

and also another generally, and i know the early 2000s would've never allowed this for children's television but they should have and i'm the writer now!!!, but more representation all around. maybe some episodes about cultural heritage that didn't make stereotypes the main focus, canon LGBTQIA+ characters, holidays that aren't christmas, aspects like that where all kids can see themselves represented... LA is such a huge melting pot, it's not all white kids trying to make their dreams come true!

good god that was long SORRY AKJBSKJGBAB i have a lot to say and there's a lot im trying to incorporate into my story to add in what i think enhances the already present storyline. that's what's so beautiful about fandom, i love that we can have conversations like this :)

but what about you? anything you'd like to add in? i'd love to know <3 thank you for the question!

ask me a question! save my life!

End of year review

Thank you @rhyslahey for the tag! This is such a fun idea <3

Rules:

Post the top 5 works you're most proud of that you released in 2022 (not necessarily your most popular)

Your top 4 current WIPs that you're excited to release in the new year

Your top 3 biggest improvements in your writing (or art) over the past year

Your top 2 resolutions (ways you wish to improve your writing/blog) for the new year,

And your number 1 favourite line you've written this year!

Top 5 works I'm most proud of:

I haven't written nearly as much as I would've liked to have done due to it being a bit of a stressful year, but I did manage a few fics I'm particularly proud of, which are: I don't wanna lose you (because I enjoyed exploring Tina/Mike as it's not something I've done before, and their relationship and communication is very important to me), I now pronounce you... (because, again, exploring John/Brianna's dynamic and relationship was so interesting to me and I enjoy them greatly as well as what could've been), me in your sweater (because Bobby and Freddie have such a sweet dynamic and some winter fluff seemed right for them), Who said friends can't kiss? (because I had never considered Finn/Jesse before so it was a nice challenge to work them out as I went), and Ice Cream & Drag Race (because it gave me an opportunity to explore Ben's emotional state, as well as how it affects the people around him)

Top 4 currents WIPs:

First up, we have a slight rewrite to the episode "Across the Baricade" from (Derry Girls) where James comes out to Jon, then we have the one where Danielle doesn't die after confessing everything to Ronnie (EastEnders), one where Derek decides to go with Trevor to the concert and ends up with a crush on him (Life With Derek), and my EastEnders/TDG crossover fic that is going to consist of multiple (mostly) separate chapters about the characters.

Top 3 biggest improvements:

I've definitely learned that not every idea needs to be woven into a whole 20k word fic and can, in fact, just be 2k words. I think that I'm able to get into character's heads better than I may have been in the past. And I do definitely think that I've improved when it comes to dialogue a bit, which has been a bit struggle for me in the past as I much prefer internal monologue and lengthy descriptions.

Top 2 resolutions:

Oh, definitely to write more and worry less about whether people will enjoy a fic premise/whether it's good enough to even bother with, and just have fun with it. And to write more EastEnders fics, of course, it is my latest and forever love.

Favourite line:

God, okay, this is gonna take some digging, but I think maybe from "I now pronounce you...": John wishes he had left his answer at three words now; his skin is flaming, so much so that he's sure Brianna can probably feel the heat emanating from him. If that's the case, then the girl has no qualms about playing with fire, as she places her hands over his, stopping him.

Truthfully, almost every line from that fic destroys me on some level.

Now, tagging @imtalkinnonsense @crazychicke @emberandshadow @benedictbridgertonns @imaginearyparties -- feel free to ignore this tag, and anyone who sees it that wants to do it but hasn't been tagged, this is your sign to go for it! <3
