this is turning into quite a hefty epilogue. it's almost as long as the finale I swear
#kotlc wings au#document is at a little over 10k currently#not everything will make the final cut#so perhaps 8-9k?#which is like. the length of a chapter#i thought epilogues were supposed to be short and sweet#this is long and heartbreaking#<- not all of it I just wrote a particularly bittersweet scene#some knowledge I've had for over a year that no one else does#that completely changes some things#woof

Since you're asking for requests... Maybe Ran from Case Closed?
YEAHHHH if no one else got me i know my one follower who likes the same bad japanese detective show as me got me ‼️
#IMPECCABLE timing too since i literally started rereading the manga like a month ago. im on chapter 398#which sounds like a lot but this shit is basically one piece in terms of length and plot insanity so#the amount of plot that i did not remember AT ALL is crazy to me but i KNOW i got further than this last time because there are still like#major characters missing from the story. which on chapter FOUR HUNDRED is insane but yk. theres 30 years worth of plot ig#anyway. wish me luck god willing im going to actually catch up this time#my little conan phone strap watching me draw this with that smug ass look on his face. im mentally ill#this show sucks btw don't watch it i just love detective shows

"IENZO WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE LIGHT ARE YOU DOING" Ansem the Wise cries, bursting into the computer room just after Ienzo (age 8) ordered Tron to broadcast "10 hours of placid forest sounds occasionally interspersed by the call of a cuckoo" across all of Radiant Garden
..
...
actually. hey. shitpost cancelled. do you ever think about how it is Tron finding a buried file within the computer that miraculously caused the entire world to remember Hollow Bastion's true name through pillars of light and sparkles? until then, none of the citizens remembered that it was called anything other than Hollow Bastion. like. the computer is not only a massive city-wide defense system that can be twisted to instead summon Heartless within the city, it can wipe an entire world's memory and replace it with false ones, and it did. all controlled from the castle. easily. what else might they- Xehanort obviously, but also potentially Ansem the Wise- have done with that power? it can get so unbelievably dark so quickly
#kingdom hearts#radiant garden#ansem the wise#ienzo#me post#me: I need to write a fucked up fic about it now#the specter of the violet room putting its hand on my shoulder because it already did it in a way that's as fucked up as you can get:#which for the record was imbuing the citizens with an illusion of safety to prevent rebellion :) nothing is wrong in radiant garden :)#I wish I could just say go read the violet room but the ienzo backstory chapters are just a small fraction of it#it's really not about this at all. I could talk about it for hours but it's not about this except for the relevancy of the themes#but if you want to go find it anyway it's the violet room by sarehptar on ff.net chapters 10 “storm” to 12 “dissonance”#starting from the first “teloiv” scene break line with “he cuts dark shapes through the frost...”#that's his whooooole backstory though not just the part with the spell and iirc it's like novella length so bhjskdfhsjk#anyway. I could still write something fucked up. I'll just have to be careful not to accidentally copy something else#the nature of the bluejay is every so often they just start thinking about violet room again

Fandom: Sherlock Holmes Chapter One, Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened Rating: T Relationships: Sherlock Holmes/Jonathan (Sherlock Holmes Chapter One), Sherlock Holmes/John Watson
Five times in which Sherlock sees Jon, and one time in which Sherlock sees John.
Chapter 4 is up, ft. some Jonlock-centric angst.
#and this time i realized that i should actually try and format these posts in a more sane way instead of just#slapping the link on there and calling it a day lmao#frogwares sherlock#sherlock holmes chapter one#jonlock#also funny how the jonlock chapter is like half the length of the entire fic thus far#which means i might suck at pacing but w/e lmao#sherlock holmes: the awakened

There's something inherently entertaining in writing Kizuna lines to me
#this chapter is nearing 2000 words and a bunch if stuff is happening already. which is great cuz now i feel like I'll be able to show a lot#here. and not end up with another 10k words chapter#not that those are bad. certain scenes need more time to shine n all but it feels great to move the plot along like this#especially since it's been months since I've been saying “the next chapter we'll start the ch4 thing!”#only for me to misjudge the length of scenes and go “welp. that's gonna stay for next time”#dra -2+2#hyena ramblings

I'm lazily plodding through writing this first chapter, largely because I know I'll have to pivot soon, but it's wild thinking about the difference between THIS first chapter and PREVIOUS first chapters I've written of other novels, something something skill improvement
#i can't do words today#but my first chapters of earlier novel-length WIPs used to be a tangled mess of “just get it on the page”#which worked for me then because it forced me to actually get something on the page#but now I can better tell when something is or isn't working?#like this chapter was supposed to end at a different point but i changed course while writing#because i could tell readers be grounded enough in this first POV narrator to manage pivoting to a second#something something improvement

Each string was a life, each strand sectioning off into a what if, a splitting cable that led to endless possibilities. Different lives in different worlds. Better lives in better worlds.
The Way Time Twists (AO3)
Chapter 18: Kid
The strings pull. The strings snag.
The sun warmed her closed eyelids, tinting everything in a hazy, muted glow. She could hear the faint squalls of seagulls, the distant chatter of voices she didn’t recognize, and the waves crashing into the sea from what felt like a hundred miles away. Save for the smell of metal, faint underneath the sea salt in the air and the terrible rot wafting out from the dumpsters, everything was fine. She blinked open her eyes, slowly sitting up and taking in her surroundings. She recognized it. All of it. It was Mafia Town. It was... Mafia Town? But you’ve never been here before- a thought, murmured by an uncomfortably familiar voice, wormed its way into the forefront of her mind, unbidden. This is your first time away from home.
Chapter 19: The Way Time Twists
Kid's memories blur and blend together, but they're not just hers this time. (But they are, aren't they?)

#do you know how hard it was to lie to literally everyone i know. ESPECIALLY TO GIGI. DO YOU.#and keep up the bit about the timeline introduced in chapter 9 just being a throwaway joke. which it kind of was but also i had this cookin#do you understand the lengths i go to for this fic#that was agonizing#but so so worth it#and with that? im gonna take nap#this was a bitch to format and im exhausted#nothing to get me in the mood for my daily nap like posting to ao3#fics#ahit#a hat in time#hat kid#mustache girl#hat adult#hatstache#moonjumper#the way time twists#twtt#twtt au#twtt posting#damn . lotta tags

me looking at the still unfinished hb2 first chapter and the deadline that i gave myself (two more days):
#the thing is i have been working on it daily and i have been making consistent progress#the chapter is just REALLY FUCKING LONG#i’m debating splitting it in half just to give myself some wiggle room for posting#which i might do if i dont get the whole thing done in time#i was already debating hb2 having 19 chapters for plotting reasons#but i hate odd numbers unless they’re multiples of 5#so if i split this into two parts then the chapter count would be a nice even 20#hm. hmmm.#we’ll see#i’m like 70% confident that i can get it done in time#its just. like i said. Extremely Fucking Long.#i’ve been updating my irl friends on my progress and one of them jokingly was like lol its gonna be a 50k word chapter#and i was like lmao can u imagine#but it might literally end up being a fucking 50k word chapter#like the length of this thing keeps surpassing what i thought it would be#the longest chapter in hb1 is chapter 17 which is ironically about 17k words#this is going to make that shit look like CRUMBS#im obsessed w it dont get me wrong i love every word#but holy fucking shit dude#homeward bound fic

a funny thing that happens with classic literature sometimes is that you can read a book 3 times without having ever re-read it and also without ever reading the actual novel
#this is about dorian gray#for which i have read the original lippincott magazine novella#the 'uncensored' novella#the novella again but censored from the magazine version and with annotations#and yet still NOT the full length novel with the added chapters#i see u guys talk about characters ive never met#in a book i have read technically 3 times#this also applies to various short-story-series-come-novel books and generally things that published in magazines first#and thus have a bunch of variants even before getting into like abridged editions and stuff like that#like figuring out which version of melmoth to read was such a headache bc theres like 5 different abridged versions#and none clarify What They Cut#and then TRANSLATIONS also like 'a rebours' is another i had such trouble picking an edition to read#idk i just think its kind of funny and neat#u tend to think of Classics as like a locked in list of The Literary Canon but its not rly like that#a

i'm churning this shit out like butter. eat up
#violent sun#icarus prime#you know the juices are flowing when a chapter releases the day after another one#i had a good chunk of this one written out already anyway as leftovers cut from chapter 2#because i like keeping my chapters at approximately the same length (which is about 4k words in this case)#gay little sparring session <3 they pin each other down it's very cool#but this aint even the extent of it. the next chapter is going to be insane. i have Plans. look forward to it. :]

#my asks#imaginary#LOOK BEFORE ANYONE SAYS ANYTHING ABOUT THE PRICES. LET IT BE KNOWN MY LAST IMAGINARY CHAPTER WAS 27K WORDS LONG#THATS LIKE. A SMALL NOVEL. SO.!!!#ALSO BEFORE IT WAS 25 DOLLARS BUT THEN I GOT A 50 DOLLAR DONATION AND HAD TO WRITE TWO CHAPTERS. BOTH OF WHICH WERE LIKE SMALL NOVEL LENGTH#SO!!!#i basically spent like 20-40 hours on each chapter as well. so like. thats about an hour per dollar#which is def NAWT minimum wage besties (its okay id write for imaginary for free cause i love it) BUT please dont kill me over the prices o#even if you just donate a portion it will still light a fire under my ass the goal is mostly just for jokesies

happy cicero saturday! :D
Happy Cicero Saturday!!!
Good news chat, there WILL be an update tomorrow!! Mostly because I know if I don't post it soon I'll probably rewrite the whole thing. Again. I can't promise it'll be any particular length (I'm trying to get it to the usual chapter length but like. the writer's block is hitting hard and I just got sick with like. a cold or something), but it'll be more than nothing which at this point is all I can hope for ;-;
On a lighter note, I just wanna say thanks for checking in to you and everyone else who's done so :D
#posts made by rae#posts made by bees#q&a#This cold came on literally a day ago its not whats been stealing all my fic writing time#i will talk about that in the notes section for anyone whos curious tho#bit upset that this chapter which is supposed to be a big moment is just#it feels so anticlimatic rn#working on that#hoping tonight i get possessed by the evil writing demon within me and it turns this 4k chapter into like a 20k one#/hj#no that would be crazy tho#im dead for like 2 weeks just to drop a full length fic as just another chapter#manifesting that to happen tonight chat

i dont know why the running joke of this chapter is kakashi fearing for his kidneys. where did that come from. WHY did that come from.
i should probably cut that in editing it's a little ridiculous.
except it makes me giggle every time so maybe i should leave it there.
#girl's mind fanfic#clena's writing progress#just have to write ONE more conversation and the whole chapter is done. but DAMN if editing wont be a bitch#still wondering if i should cut jiraiya's 3-page infodump#because while most people dont mind#some people keep commenting saying that my fic is too wordy and i keep adding unnecessary things#and like. they're 1% of reviews but i have the emotional fragility of a china teacup#i cry when i get those sorts of reviews and they ruin my day even tho i get twenty comments who love my rambling#but like. also. i shouldnt delete stuff from my fic just for the 1% of assholes who will say mean things about it#but also i dont want to cry when someone inevitably says something mean about it.#most if not all of said assholes are on fanfiction dot net so technically i could just stop cross posting#except there are people on that site who DO like my rambles so#ugh. why am i such an emotionally sensitive crybaby. my life would be so much better#if i didnt have such thin skin#i'm 90% certain that jiraiya's 3-page infodump is going to get LONGER with editing cause i'm gonna turn it from infodump into#an actual conversation. so who knows how many pages it'll be by the end. the chapter's already 6500 words#which is double my average chapter length#and i DO like the info he presents even if it maybe ISNT strictly required for progressing the story. probably only the last paragraph is#ugh. i wish people would just never say mean things ever. then i wouldn't have a problem with anything xD
