i wonder sometimes if people who don't write fics realize just how big a labour of love it is. and TIME. god the time you spend writing, thinking, changing stuff, coming up with better ideas, writing again... it makes zero sense as a hobby And Yet.

I’m really in a mode of I LOVE WRITING, CHARLIE! I LOVE WRITINGGGG today lol
There’s some days where I miss the brainrot of a fandom/posting to AO3, but coming up with an original antagonist’s most devastating line, the poetry for the characters’ journals, arcs that come together so wonderfully, getting actual professionals to tear up over original content???? That my brain made????
It’s unmatched to what I know I’m capable of doing with my thoughts, emotions, and words ❤️
#I know I say it often but I honestly can’t wait to share these things one day#I’m like that hyperactive little kid again just enamored with life and creation through storytelling#I’m glad precipice is my magnum opus to end fandom writings#it’s the perfect story to end on as I transition to original works moving forward#and I love my brain even if I hated it for a while#my shortcomings are my strengths and it took me way too long to figure that out#there’s a power in knowing I’m breaking trauma patterns and moving forward in such a powerful and important way#anyway I wish all of this upon all of you#it gets better absolutely ❤️#Erin writes a book#writing musings

Some thoughts for a Narnia/Harry Potter crossover I might play with one day soon.
Peter and Lucy are Gryffindors. Peter becomes Head Boy, Lucy is the popular one, if not always the best behaved...
Susan is a Ravenclaw, and she blossoms into such an ideal Witch that even families like the Malfoys/Notts/Averys are sniffing around her trying to court her @ellorypurebloodculture , do you think Susan could make a good New Blood - or my equivalent of it, anyway?
Edmund is a Slytherin. His blood status could be a problem at first, but, if he fell in with Riddle and co - I don't think he and Riddle are that far apart in age, he might be able to carve himself a niche of sorts. Maybe he plays Quidditch, and excels in something the Knights of Walpurgis might find useful like Runes and/or Arithmancy?

Hi!!! Long time fan of your stony works and I see that you’re a fan of spuffy like I am, so I’m curious if you have any fic ideas you’re contemplating writing?
Hope you’re well!! 🥰
fun fact! i do. i am currently writing something for spuffy lol. it’s a simple missing scene set in s7, nothing complicated, but i’m very happy i’m writing it at all.
it’s been very long since the last time i wrote fic. i confess i had stopped writing and didn’t really want to do it anymore. (i’ll post about it and explain more in depth maybe). but i’m writing again and it will take some time for the story to be ready but It Will Be Ready. at some point in the future.
i’m also reorganizing my notes for the slowest runner series. they’re a mess and i still need to figure out how to connect a few things but you know. it will happen.
like. it’s not a never anymore, you know?

[[when you've had a specific path vaguely planned for your fic only to come up with another possible path and are now conflicted over which of the two to go with 🤣🤔]]
#fic: only have a moment#my writing#writing musings#luckily i've still got a few chapters to go before I have to make a definitive choice

Fun fact: I adore writing teens. Especially in current settings, though, once you move past that life stage yourself, it becomes a bit tricky. You will get your tone off, unless you keep up. My sister is ten years younger than me and we get along well, so for the longest time, I had a link. But she's full in her twenties now, and frankly, I think I'm just going to wait and hope my kids don't hate me as teens, because I need their intel.
Disclaimer: I would never write characters that resemble my kids, unless I wrote the story while they read along and approved. It's just intel. Language. Habits. etc. Which are already different in Belgium versus English speaking countries. You get a bit of slack, writing historical. You don't get that in temporary writing. What you do get, are tiktokkers or snapchatters ready to tell you WE DO NOT SOUND LIKE THIS.*
*This didn't actually happen to me yet, but it is a genuine fear.

It's been a while since I read unexpected scent but I got to thinking about Gojo's pups again. What happened to them? Did they live happy lives? Do you think that Gojo will ever meet them again? Maybe one day Yuuji could meet them and make friends with them. It just makes me so sad to think of that loss 😢😢. Poor babies. I think it's really cool the way you pepper in little bits of lore that imply but don't fully show a whole extra story going on just barely in the peripheral of the main plot of your fics it makes the world feel a little more alive. Like Yuuji and Sukuna are the main characters of the story but that's only because we're viewing the world from their eyes if we looked at things from a different angle we'd find everyone else also living their own crazy stories. Here's just a hit of Gojo tragedy to spice up the fic. It's a good bit of contrast.
I always felt the stories I liked best were those where the world felt bigger because you could tell so much more was going on. That each side -character you see is actually the main character in a story that is moving at the same time!
Gojo and his pups and knowing about that serves as motivation for how he works his way into helping the characters in their plight, but also I like to leave it to the readers to imagine the story c: After all, part of the fun of reading a story (at least for me haha) is being able to speculate and write my own headcanons and ideas to fill in those nice little spots.
Not every question needs answered, not every path needs revealed, just enough to engage the curious thoughts and show the world is a much larger and complex place!
#maca answers asks#writing musings#Every fic I write has little side plots hehe#I just find it fun <3

Jeremy wakes up after the gods wrath and learns that terra's rulers are children.
Proceeds to kidnap them all as a whim.
They glare at him and declares that Jeremy is making a mistake by kidnapping royalties and he will pay.
Jerremi *with big sad eyes*: oh my god these are babies! Why are they in charge?!
Said children doesn't react well to the comment and tries to bodily harm Jeremy who just dodges and internally screams that this is a sign that he should fasg track his plans to take over all the kingdom and rule over all. He says this to them and the kids efforts to kick their kidnapper butt doubles. The baby kings and queens exhausts themselves and Jeremy brings them back home and tucks them to bed, their equally baby retainers frets on the side not knowing what to make of the mask stranger.
The next day Jeremy goes around each kingdom offering help to the kids who are annoyed by the man and is promptly kicked out by the raitainers and guards but he keeps returning until they gradually warm up to him.
All of them grows up to how they are in the show but they are closer with each other as they had the common headache that help half raise them to the ruler they are now. Racles is still an ass but not as bad as he's in the show since in he has a pseudo guardian webbing him to objects whenever he acts like a dick.
Jeremy picks up Gira when he found him reading one of his stories to God Tarantula when he left it at the town center when he was visiting shugodam and heard the boy call the shugod by a cute little nickname.
The kings are exasperated when their weird adopted whatever guardian menace brought a new kid but grew fond of Gira when the boy became the favorite person of the children residing in each kingdom and their own shugods. They try to 'kidnapv him on a daily from the orphanage.
They learned he's Racles' long lost brother when he commented that the food Kaguragi served was good but not as good as rainbow jururira from his childhood, which they knew because only Racles knew how to make it and they had it once before.
They all face-palmed when Jeremy pointed out that it took them that long to figure it out. Missing prince + an amnesiac orphan both who shares the same name and age as the missing prince.
Racles is a tsundere about Gira. He gives Gira his old room and says so that the other Kings would stop intruding in his kingdom to try and offer Gira room in their respective domain. But Jeremy knows that the older man passes by his brothers door every night to check on him.
Gira takes to following Racles around after the man left a cup of rainbow jururira on his desk causing the man to be more tsun-tsun and Jeremy teases him for it.
The other kings still want to take Gira back to their kingdom. Racles has to theaten to break their alliance on the if the four kings keeps trying to steal his brother.
Meanwhile as the five kings argue all over again, Jeremy steals Gira away back to the orphanage for story time with the kids.

You know there's a definite balance I need to strike in this fic between the really solid emotional intelligence I like writing young Jason with and just...buried primal rage.

An idea for a Peña angsty little fic hit me like a sledgehammer yesterday... so I guess I'm writing that now.
But oh boy!! It's going to start so fluffy and cute... and then destroy. 😁

I’ve been playing with more poetic prose lately for short stories, and it’s been so cathartic depending on the theme 💖

You ever giggle at that feeling when you had intended to write some hardcore smut, but instead ended up writing something sort soft and romantic. Oops? Sorry not sorry, I guess? This is definitely better than actually working.

Music While Writing
Does anyone else listen to the most random shit while writing a book? Like the mood does not correspond whatsoever and I'm not talking like Amazing Spiderman fighting while classical music plays. I mean like I'm writing a battle scene set in the Arthurian Mythos and I'm listening to "If You Leave Me Now" by Chicago. It does not fit the vibe but for some reason, it works.

Describe the dream fics you aren’t writing and/or probably never will for whatever reason (no spoons, no longer in hat fandom headspace, to long, to much research, etc) for:
Steve/Tony
Spuffy
or Dean/Cas?
i think for stevetony i have two answers, one for mcu and one for 616.
616 is this one, which is an idea i never got around to write and now probably never will. but i'm very fond of it and i think it could have been great.
for mcu, it's a story titled "the hardest story that i've ever told" (from mika's song happy ending). it's a post endgame story that i literally thought up while i was in the car driving home from watching the movie at the cinema. i was alone and i stopped on the motorway at night to record a voice memo on my phone with the basic idea. i've written two versions of it, both are almost finished but not quite. i've reread it recently and i want to rewrite it a third time. who knows, if i manage to do it maybe third time will be the charm. i can't say much about the story itself because even the premise spoils the whole thing. just imagine that the title is something steve tells tony.
for spuffy — i guess i'll do this in reverse, because i have actually finally managed to write the story i thought about when i finished watching the show back when it first aired. 20+ years in the making, lol. i need to find someone to beta read it and it's not easy, mostly because that's my excuse to postpone sharing it. I haven't posted in a long time, spuffy is a new fandom for me and i'm. scared. so i'm waiting for the moment where i'll be less scared.
i'm also currently writing another spuffy story. i got stuck on a thing for a bit and i literally just got unstuck like ten minutes ago. it's a darker story, though, so i'm even more scared about potentially sharing it when it's done. (and how sad is that? why has fandom turned into this hostile place?)
for deancas — i think deancas is, hands down, the ship about which i've read most fics. as in, the highest number. but i never really wrote it, idk why. i didn't have the skills back then, or the courage. i felt okay just reading other people's stuff, so i never really entertained any particular fic ideas. you know how it is, some ships are just like that, and they don't mean less to you because of it. it's just the way things are sometimes.

Oh yes. Sweet, sweet, insecurities between OC and Francis. Both mentally worrying about the things that make them unsightly and unpleasant. Ere worrying about his mangled body and Francis worrying that he's unappealing thusly of being too old, Irish and cantankerous for most - being difficult to love. And Ere is worried he is far too disfigured and mangled. Perhaps he should just keep most his clothes on in case he is far too much an eyesore. Francis deserves someone "pretty" and "easy on the eyes" not some disfigured man not even in his thirties.
