#writing milestone

[fayes-fics]

I've just gone over 1 million views on Wattpad. That is cumulative across all of my titles, but still, that's exciting. I'm very humbled. It feels like something I should celebrate, but I have no idea how lol.

Anyway, just to say thanks to everyone who reads my content there and, of course, here and AO3. 😁🧡🧡

ao3 curse is real because i start writing a little fanfic just for fun and suddenly im in the hospital getting surgery because of a bacterial infection on my face because of my skin picking disorder. i’m never writing fanfic again.

YOU GUYS!!! I DID IT! I HAVE WRITTEN AND PUBLISHED OVER ONE MILLION WORDS ON AO3!!!

I have been on AO3 almost 1 year and 1 month now and my initial goal was to reach that milestone before one year once I realized how close I was, but it took me a few weeks past that. But holy hell. I have written SO much and I can't even believe it. And most of that is juat Matt Murdock fics 😅 Y'all I am not okay when it comes to him. Clearly.

Okay, but now I'm wondering how long before I reach two million words?

I realized today that I wrote 199 pages

Got my first negative comment on a fic

[shadows-flames-and-ink]

First draft of my book has been completed!

Total word count of 79,576 as of today, divided between 24 chapters and an Epilogue

Edits start tomorrow, and I may or may not start making/posting concept art and other stuff in the near future, I'm honestly not 100% sure yet. Idk

Anyway, I think that's it for now. Have a nice day :)

I DID IT. I FINISHED WRITING MY WHOLE STORY DRAFT. 33 CHAPTERS+THE PROLOUGE AND EPALOUGE

AND I ACCIDENTALLY FORSHADOWED STUFF AND IT FITS TOGETHER SO PERFECTLY

I ACTUALLY DID SOMETHING

[mercuryytheraven]

You guys.

HOLY FUCK.

I haven’t written anything substantial since 2018. For SIX YEARS I’ve picked up and immediately set aside story ideas because I couldn’t garner the motivation to see any of them through. For fuck’s sake, I started SEVENTY-FIVE STORIES in TWO YEARS, all but three of which never made it past a couple hundred words. Some were barely more than a few sentences.

But today, with the lovely @goodluckclove’s help, I reached 1,000 words on the remake of the very first fic I ever finished.

I cannot believe the progress I’ve made in these short days, and I can’t wait for what’s in store. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Clove.

first fic!!

I've been working on a fic for about 4 days now and I've hit 32 pages and 10726 words!! This the first writing project in a long time I've really committed to so I'm super happy! I dont know if im gonna post it, lol.

it's based on @zarla-s handplates comic. (Handplates is a fic about Gaster and how the skellybros came to be.) The fic won't make much sense without reading it but it's angsty and dark a lot of the time so...

Anyhow I'm proud of it. It'd an extended ending basically I felt like the ending was missing gaster owning up to his past to Asgore so that's what it's about mostly with a good amount of flowey causing plenty of problems. It's been fun and I just wanted to talk about it

I recently reached 1 million total reads on Wattpad. I know it’s probably not a huge number, but it means a lot to me. March is also my birthday month. So, I wanted to say thanks with a little sleepover celebration next weekend here on good old Tumblr - my original posting spot and still my favourite platform. 🤫

Want to take part? Read on! 🫶

This is my first time hosting a 'sleepover' type event, and I hope it's enjoyable for us all! I will be accepting sleepover asks from now until 5pm UTC on Saturday 8th March. Check what time that is for you here. I’ll start responding from the morning of the 8th and spend some time answering and chilling out here on Tumblr. 🫶

Drinks: Send me a 🍷 to chit-chat and ask me anything you'd like to know regarding writing, any of my existing fics, and/or share our process or tips.

Nibbles: Send me a 🍿 along with any headcanons you’d like to talk about! It can be general ones about the characters I write for or for any of my existing fics/AUs.

Parlour Games: Send me a 🎲 along with one of the following games: This or That || Never Have I Ever || FMK || Would You Rather?

Movie Time: Send me a 🎬 and I’ll post a sneak peek sentence from a WIP.

Book Club: Send me a 📖 and a title, and I’ll post a 1 or 2 sentence idea for a fic based on that title.

Some Guidelines:

Please ensure your asks follow the categories above. Anon is fine.

Please remember to include “Sleepover Celebration” and the correct emoji in your message so I can keep track

Please stick to the characters I write for - Benedict Bridgerton and Anthony Bridgerton. Asks can certainly be 18+, but I do not really write/enjoy angst, so keep that in mind!

I've finally hit 20k on the amnesia!dfs au... this is the most I've ever written ever. The me of years ago couldn't even dream of this. I'm so happy.

[erraticprocrastinator]

I passed 50k hits on AO3 today.

Yes, I know this isn't a lot to some people. But it means a freaking lot to me. 50,000 is a lot to me. That's over three times the population of my town, two thousand times the number of people in my graduating class, ten thousand times the number of years I've been posting. Especially considering that none of my fics are astronomically popular, this is huge for me. My thirteen year old self staying up until 3AM to finish their angsty little fics would never have dreamed of making it this far. So to everyone who's ever clicked on one of my stories, even by accident, thank-you. You've made my day.

[the-lady-in-progress]

So I’m excited to say I reached 10,000 words on one of my works in progress. And there’s so much more to go (I actually finished plotting this one) Turns out I’m writing a novel… not a short story..? Hehehe 🤭 this is a nice feeling
