Weekend WIP game

I was tagged by @daisymae-12 @happiness-of-the-pursuit @suseagull04 @inexplicablymine @gay-flyboys @rockyroadkylers thank you for the tag!

Rules: List your WIPs below (if you only write one fic at a time, feel free to include future WIPs/ideas!) then answer the following questions. Then, tag as many people as you have WIPs (or more). (questions for artists/gifmakers here).

1. WIP List: This WIP list truly is just based on vibes, this is every fic that has made itself a place in my google docs, notes app, discord chat or voice note that's longer than 2 minutes (or all of them)

let's ignore the fact only two of them have real titles

two bros chilling on the ice 5 feet apart 'cause they're rivals (Figure Skating AU)

High School AU

Super Six and the Siren's Call

Spiderman AU

June, a child of divorce character study

MasterChef Celebrity AU

Carved within the beauty, the darkness in between

2. Which of your WIPs is currently the longest?

Super Six and the Siren's Call, it's HEFTY, it's CHONKY, it's 40k+ words and growing

3. Which WIP do you expect will end up the longest?

Either Super Six and the Siren's Call or two bros chilling on the ice(...) mostly because the outline for both is BIG

4. Which WIP is your favourite to write/the most enjoyable to write? Why?

I love writing Super Six and the Sirens Call, writing with @inexplicablymine and @happiness-of-the-pursuit it's really one of the biggest highlights of the AU, we get excited together whenever we get to write something new, we yell at each other (with love) and it's really just very fun

5. Which WIP do you find the most intimidating to write? Why?

two bros chlling on the ice(...) it's a 30 chapter outline that I am tackling on my own, and on top of that I am applying to myself the level of nitpicky I apply every time I read a figure skating au because I always want them to be as accurate as possible.

6. Which WIP do you experience the most self-doubt about. Why?

two bros chlling on the ice(...) I feel like even for myself I have set up very high expectations in many aspects, and when I sit down to write sometimes I just think that maybe it might just not be enough.

7. Which of your WIPs will you seek out a beta/sensitivity reader for? Why?

Compared to my life before now I do try to have betas for almost every fic, mostly for grammar reasons since I need it. Now long fics are generally the ones where I know I could not do without betas at all.

8. Have any of your WIPs been struck by the curse of writer's block?

High School AU kind of crashed before it started, I had an idea and a plan but then many things happened that left it in a space where no words are coming out anymore

and figure skating au but i am really having a mind set of ojos que no ven corazón que no siente

9. Which WIP has your favourite OC? Tell us about them?

Is it really an OC if it's someone's family member who would technically exist in canon? asjdjsdhs let's say yes

Alex's abuelita in SSASC, truly one of my favourites, I am really enjoying writing her and also giving her more lore than would be known, with that being said anything else is a spoiler so stay tuned and find out yourself!

10. Which WIP is the sexiest?

I don't write smut but people have called my outlines sexy!

11. Which WIP is the angstiest?

June character study probably, follows the same path that Alex's fic did, just a walk through June's relationship with her parents divorce and her role in the family as a mediator.

12. Which WIP has the best characterisation (in your humble opinion)?

Super Six and the Siren's call really does have a very interesting characterization, there's something about putting your blorbos in different worlds and dangerous situations that brings out the best in them.

13. Which WIP has the best scene setting (in your humble opinion)?

Yes, yes I've mentioned it everywhere Super Six and the Sirens Call, I love the setting for this one, I love all the places they go to, the one's they mention, it's great

14. Which WIP have you worked the hardest on?

Super Six and the Siren's Call, next to Rhys and Beas we have done a hella ton of world building, investigation, writing, rewriting, editing, planning out promotional material.

15. Which WIP do you have the highest expectations for? Why?

two bros chlling on the ice(...) it's a long, long fic with a trope and a setting many people like. I try really hard not to create any expectations because in the end what people think it's something I can't control and yet.

16. Do you dream about any of your WIPs?

I have not dreamt about these ones but I do dream about fics all the time, and also just about writing fics.

17. Do any of your WIPs have particular complexities that your other fics don't?

I think to a degree most long fics I want to write have complexities that a one-shot doesn't have. But let's say two bros chlling on the ice(...) because what I am going to say is very true for it.

In the narrative aspect there's a lot of thought that needs to be placed in how the story gets hold, divide the chapters in a way that enriches the story instead of dragging it down

Another aspect is that despite everything I find myself not familiar enough with the general environment where these characters are placed aka I'm not American so a lot of investigation and asking a lot of questions needs to come into place before writing because I want to be as faithful as possible.

18. Which WIP is the funniest or has the most humour?

I'd like to believe I am always hilarious

Super Six and the Sirens Call it's a group effort of mixing feelings and jokes, it really has some very funny lines in it but I can't take credit for them really

I think two bros chlling on the ice(...) also has a fair share of humour if beta comments are anything to go by

19. Do any of your WIPs contain outside POVs or a deep dive on a character other than the main ship? How are you finding that process?

Super Six and the Sirens Call has a fair amount of outsiders POVs that I have found to be very fun to write, try out the new voices and see how the world looks through others people's eyes.

20. Tell us one thing we don't know about one or more of your WIPs.

-MasterChef Celebrity AU has a plan to mix both prose and TV scripts as a way to tell the story, and it's not about two participants

-SpiderMan AU is a 5+1, and I want it to be a long one while still falling under the realm of what can be considered a one shot

No pressure tags and sorry if you've already done this c: @14carrotghoul @raysletters @heybuddy-drabbles @cricketnationrise @moondal514 @littlemisskittentoes and an open tag for anyone else who wants to do it!
