*hugs you* you are the best! Thank you so much 🙂
1. Do you have a word-count goal for 2018?
For fanfic? No but … I really want to finish Painting Layers of Love so I’m thinking maybe 100k minimum.
2. Will you participate in any fandom exchanges or fic challenges, etc?
I decided during RCIJ that would be my last exchange. I felt a pang when sign-ups for RSS went up but I just can’t do it anymore. I have far too many of my own projects and I don’t have time and I can’t cope with the stress.
Please don’t get me wrong I love the community aspect and I would never have met @little-inkstone without RSS 2016. I talk with her most days and I’m so glad we became friends. Exchanges just are too much pressure for me these days.
Now fic challenges? That’s a whole other kettle of fish. That’s like Monthly Rumbelling, no stress, just do it if you can and don’t worry if you can’t. I like those! BUT I do still have to prioritise my own projects so as much as I might like to participate I don’t know if I can/will.
3. Do you anticipate writing for a new fandom in 2018? Which one?
I really shouldn’t, especially not until I’ve finished my WIPs. I mean starting something new before you’ve finished is … I can’t think of the word. It seems like a bad thing to do, like I’d be letting people down.
That being said I would love to write Agents of Shield. There isn’t a bad ship there (Yo-Yo/Mack, May/Coulson and Fitzsimmons of course heh), and while I would have once said I didn’t like Daisy she’s improved. It’s just all round an incredible show. I’m also utterly in love with Killjoys (bounty hunters in space!!!!) and then there’s always the marvel movies.
I want to write what happened to Lady Sif because she wasn’t around in Thor: Ragnarok, and I want to do a Maria Hill-centric story. I did write one little ficlet from Tony Stark’s POV last year and I wouldn’t mind doing that again, he’s an awesome character. Plus there’s always the Star Wars movies. I find Anakin quite fascinating and I went into the Last Jedi with my fingers crossed going “please don’t make me fic it” because if Finn had been short-changed… I kinda want to write a Finn story to be honest. I love Finn 🙂
Basically I want to write all the things! Don’t worry, I almost certainly won’t.
4. Do you think you’ll stop writing for a fandom in 2018? Which one?
I currently only write for one fandom – Rumbelle, and I’m not stopping that anytime soon. Rumbelle are inspiration itself, I have enough ideas on the list to keep me writing fic for years to come. So nope, can’t stop, won’t stop 🙂
