Camp NaNo Day 3!

I’ve managed to maintain my writing streak so far. Lance’s sneakiness streak? Not so much

transcript:

There was no more point to hiding. He rose slowly, glaring at her the whole time. “How did you know?”

She shrugged. “Tracker.”

“There’s a tracker in me?!”

“On the clothes the Order gave you, yes.” She crossed her arms. “I didn’t agree when they suggested it, but now you’ve clearly proven it was necessary.”

Lance spluttered. He couldn’t even bring himself to be angry about it. It was a perfectly logical move, and as Eli had demonstrated – effective.

New Member Spotlight September 2024

The Pond is always growing and we want to make our new members feel welcome! Here’s a list of recent additions to our fishy family and a little info about them!

Turtles

Mads - she/her, US, BookFreaks24 (Discord)

OTP? - I’m definitely a multishipper! ;)

Looking for in the Pond? - Mostly see how the fandom's been thriving over time. Check in with the community.

Pairings you read? - Mostly slash ships but poly occasionally works it’s way in there.

Genres you read? - Crack is an all-time favorite. But my most common genre is hurt/comfort.

What do you like to write? - Mostly pre-series thoughts and dabbles for myself. I tend to jot down headcanons whenever they pop up in my head. 😅

Guppies, Jellies, and Mutuals, oh, my!

Nightbreaker - Eastern US, @the-nightbreaker, The_Nightbreaker (AO3 & Discord)

Looking for in the Pond? - Writing friends and readers :)

Genres you read? - Angst and fluff

What do you like to write? - Angst and fluff. Mostly angst. Mostly Sam trauma angst.

Masterlist!

Dallas - it/he/they, West Coast US, @thicc-mothman, @hotel-casifornia, Thicc_Mothman (AO3), thiccmothman420 (Discord)

OTP? - Destiel

Other fandoms? - lots & lots, far too many to all list

Looking for in the Pond? - community and to get some of my writing out there

Pairings you read? - reader inserts & oc fics mostly

Genres you read? - all kinds, i do favor smut the most though

Masterlist!

Ciel - East Coast US, @incesthemes, southerngothics (AO3 & Discord)

OTP? - wincest (samdean, more weirdcest than wincest)

Other fandoms? - the terror (amc) predominantly, but also a lot of other boat media too. i'm also a fan of interview with the vampire

Looking for in the Pond? - it seems like a great way to network, and also a nice place to talk in-depth about writing and writing theory :)

Pairings you read? - i basically only read wincest shipfic. there are a few ships i'm interested in outside of wincest, but i haven't explored much of the fic scene for them

Genres you read? - i don't have any specific genres i enjoy reading; i just like long (or longer, 7k+ words with no upper limit), well-written, plot-heavy stories. my favorite tropes are soulbonds, bodyswaps, genderbends (in-universe supernatural gender transformation, NOT different gender aus), and canon divergent aus.

Favorite writer(s)? - i'm a big fan of @according2thelore's fics :)

What do you like to write? - i like writing longer stories (15k+) with horror elements—i almost exclusively write romance as a horror, with complicated and toxic relationships are the crux of the conflict and a source of dread and anxiety. otherwise, i enjoy writing much shorter character/relationship studies which deal with a sense of unreality and experimental/creative prose styles.

Masterlist!

Something you haven't written but would like to try? Why not? How can we help? -I'd like to write a couple of AUs, but they seem like big projects! I could also use help with character voice honestly

Also leaving this open to anyone and everyone because polls are fun

[lyssa-ink]

fun lines

@reneesbooks tagged me a few days ago to share one line you’re proud of and one line that’s ridiculous out of context. So, from my camp nano wip nightbreaker (which I really need to do an intro post for)

No pressure tagging @serenanymph @rachaellawrites @zmwrites and anyone else who wants to give this a shot!

proud

“I know you, Eli. Maybe you tried to be the perfect unfeeling knight, but you cared. You cared more than anyone I knew.” Sadness leaked into his voice. “Why are you bottling it up now?”

out of context

“Not the best name, considering what killed the Asterians.” Eli thought for a moment, “Though if their wreck is here, I guess these specific Asterians didn’t die back when they tried to blow up the sun.”

Camp NaNo Day 4!

Another day, another snippet this time featuring Lance’s mommy issues!

transcript

Hikari set down her glass and walked across the room towards Lance. “Well, when I saw how close you were, I knew I had to come. I couldn’t leave briefing my only son to some underlings.” She brushed his cheek, and Eli thought she saw Lance flinch away slightly.

[lyssa-ink]

Camp NaNo Day 2!

Another day, more writing done! Here’s Lance being very good at listening to orders :)

transcript

“Do not mention this to anyone, not even others within the Spear. Do not speak of your mission, and do not speak of our… guest.”

Alone in his quarters, the commander’s words echoed in Lance’s mind as he typed into his communicator.

Asterian found in the wreck on Valix. Alive. Unconscious. Currently in Order custody.

Camp NaNo Day 1!

I’ll be trying to keep myself motivated to write this month by posting a something I wrote each day! Will I be able to keep this up? Who knows! But here’s day 1 at least.

transcript:

“You can’t pretend you don’t know me. Not when we were practically attached at the hip for six months.”

“I was your assigned guard.”

“My guard.” He scoffed. “Do you kiss all the people you protect, Eli?”
