Happy Fanfic Writers Appreciation Day! I missed it on Monday, so I am celebrating today by telling my favorite writers how I feel! You are an amazing, talented writer. You can take any prompt and make it sing. I adore every word you write and the passion you put into your stories and the characters you love. Not only are you a great writer, you are an incredible encouragement to other writers who drops your own projects to help others. THANK YOU for your stories and for being you.

Oh wow *sniffs* you are so nice! and so brave! I would be terrified to send personalized messages like this in case I forgot someone. But it’s such a nice thing to do. This means so much to me! I am legit blinking back tears, I’m touched, you’ve made my day!

10. Have you ever written for a fandom without reading other fanfic for it?

Nope. I only write for a fandom if I’m really into whatever it is, and for me the last sort of bastion of “zomg I love this so much” is to create for it. I’ll have gone through all the previous levels of:
– browsing reviews
– looking at promo pictures
– finding the fansites
– watching fan videos on youtube
– reading fanfic
– reading metas

and all the other phases that I’ve forgotten but then it gets to writing reviews, writing headcanons and making stuff.

I’ll never say never though. For instance if I ever did a fic challenge, like “post all the shows/movies that I love and you pop one in my askbox, I’ll write a short fic” – that sounds like fun now I’ve thought of it, but in that case then yeah I might wind up writing for something I haven’t read as I haven’t read for everything that I like. Although I usually wind up searching for fic eventually 🙂

Ask Me? Fanfic Author’s Meme

Fanfic author ask meme – In your opinion and without looking at any numbers, what’s your most popular fic?

Painting Layers with Love hands down. It actually kinda scared me for a while (alright it still does sometimes) how popular it is. Please, please don’t get me wrong that isn’t a complaint in the slightest. What I mean is that’s intimidating. Being invisible is kinda reassuring in a way. If I screw up then who will know? But if everyone is watching then urk it sort of piles the pressure on.

That’s possibly why I haven’t updated it in forever, I’ve got myself into this cycle and it’s hard to break. I’m scared to write because I don’t want to mess the story up. It’s important to me on so many levels to do this story justice, not just because it’s popular but because the characters really resonate. I mean I suppose they should I wrote them, but I put more of me in this story than I have put in probably any other story. It matters that I get it right. Then I panic because I haven’t updated in ages and so the update better be damn good, and it needs to be now! Cue more panicking and then I just go and do something else because damn I’m scared and I can’t think.

I really just need to sit down and bite the bullet and start typing. Getting started is always the most intimidating part.

Ask Me? Fanfic Author’s Meme

Hey there! Hope your day is going well so far. I’m going to steal the question you asked me today (hope that’s okay). What is next on your writing agenda? Any new projects or ideas that you haven’t mentioned yet? Have a great day!

Any questions are always ok! You are so good to send me a question every week, I don’t know if I’ve made it clear before how much I appreciate that but I really do *attack hugs you* and heh I did say I loved this question! 🙂

Alright then *rubs hands together* I feel like I should insert that picture now, of the guy standing in front of the board which is covered in pictures and string. *gestures to it* welcome to ‘the plan’ duh duh duh.

Right remember that plan I posted a couple of weeks ago? It was my grand design of “getting back into writing” yeah that kinda, well this is why my plan resembles a conspiracy wall. The oneshot has exploded and is either going to be a long oneshot or a short multi-chapter. Either way I’m not posting until it’s done. As I said yesterday the shame of my unfinished WIP’s cuts far too deep.

Anyway /facepalms this isn’t answering your question is it?

I kinda mention everything. I’m useless at secrets and I ramble about things far too often, so I probably don’t have any secret projects or ideas. I have just less than a month before everything kicks off for the start of university. In that time I WILL (not want to because failure is not an option):

  • Write and post tiny (oh please let it be tiny) GoldenLace Runaway Bride
  • Finish the exploded oneshot which is a combined Magic Teacher/Runaway Bride prompt with bonus savior Rumple and shady Blue. Hopefully it’ll be good!
  • Update my three WIP’s (oh please I need to do this so bad, the guilt, the guilt I tell you!)

In terms of other stuff. I have like 30+ ideas on the list (and I swear they multiply when I’m not looking) but because of that very multiplication I’m not committing to what comes next. I’ve said “this is my next project” so many times and then a new shiny has come along and dazzled me and ooops I’ve changed my mind. I want to write ALL THE THINGS and hopefully one day I will!

TMI Tuesday

Ask me about the show. Ask me anything about my fics, ask my characters anything. You can send me a word and if it’s in my WIP doc then I’ll post a teaser snippet. I accept prompts for any of my existing verses.

This week I posted:
Lacey and Stiltskin Star Force Promo Poster (Photo Manip)

Ask Box

Masterlist

You could also ask me a question off any of these lists.

Good morning all! As suspected no fic…

but hey ho stuff is in the pipeline at least 🙂

So ask me things and let’s try and have a stellar Tuesday!

This fic is just getting longer and longer. I have more than enough to give you chapter one of probably about three tomorrow but I don’t think I can bear another story with the incomplete tag. The shame of those I haven’t updated in forever cuts too deep.

BUT it’s ok because I have another idea! Which will be shorter! I can write it and still post something tomorrow! It’s continuing a prompt verse even! Except … what happened between then and this fic? *head meets desk* because clearly something will have had to happen for Lacey and Gold to go from sort of flirting friends to established relationship.

Yeah I’m starting to get the feeling there might not be fic tomorrow.

#i think i live in that box of shame at the moment#where does the time go

Hmm *cross fingers* tomorrow is a good writing day as I decided to roll my oneshot and the unexpected AMR fic together. Yay for two birds with one stone. Not so yay (or maybe yay?) because that makes it a lot longer, and I said I’d post on Tuesday. In other news @little-inkstone is the absolute best and I don’t think I could do this writing thing without them *glomps them*

I wasn’t planning on writing a fic for @a-monthly-rumbelling this month. I have my “plan” and that didn’t include an AMR fic. However I think the universe wants me to write one. I’ve had two nights now dreaming about writing a fic for the prompt. I mean if I’m dreaming that I’m writing it, I kinda think that might have to happen…

I love this episode. Sam was amazing and gorgeous as always, she was also wise and it was lovely seeing her as a mentor. I loved the glimpse of the academy, it made me want to write fics about when Sam was there, or Sam going back to teach. Plus it brought in Lt. Hailey and I was disappointed she was only seen in two episodes because that was a future of the franchise option.

I wanted to write fics of Hailey on an SG team. Sam in casual dress blues giving a lecture was awesome. I loved the quote about how Jack had to go now because no matter who was right it was about leadership. If he went then he risked his life but if he waited, he risked everyone’s and he couldn’t do that.
