Up to chapter 16.

ch 17 is being written out/edited.

Swapfell red papyrus/reader prompt fic (where the prompt word may not even have anything to do with the chapter by the time it is posted)

[absent-enigma]

Just posted the first chapter of the Dust naga fic over on Ao3. It's called:

Forced Proximity to the Naga (because I unironically read those sci fi alien romances for the plot, even though the stories are usually packed with a lot of smut most of the time). The situations these characters get into tends to crack me up and those stories are what inspired this fic, along with bingo prompts.

I don't think I can link the fic here, since the rating is going to eventually go up from M to E.

[absent-enigma]

Updated with chapter 2. Chapter 3 likey will be posted on sat/sun.

[absent-enigma]

Ch 3 is up!

I kinda wrote more than I expected to for the chapter, so it’s almost 5k lmao. Got a little too into writing the last bit of the chapter >:)

Off to go throw myself into bed with *that* lingering in my mind.

[absent-enigma]

Ch 4 up!

[absent-enigma]

I’m doing the thing where I overthink the chapter contents, so after some editing, I’ll update the naga fic tonight (or earlier if I go straight home after work).

I think I may try for not so long chapters for other wips, as I would love to update some of them.

[glassfrogforest]

[dduane]

(sigh) Yeah, this.

[absent-enigma]

Pls let me focus on current wips mind I’m begging you.

[absent-enigma]

Here’s that fae Dream x reader one shot (that I may continue at some point):

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

I’m sorry there’s no pic to go with this one (it’s…a work in progress) but in my mind the fae dream version for this one shot is *chef’s kiss* not a twink but is very solid (where is my Dream with a swap type body??? Swap is just a personality swap of og sans where my short stout boi at???). I guess Dream’s no glamour form can be like that and he can have *some* height as a fae.

[zerozerozio]

bring back tumblr ask culture let me. bother you with questions and statements

[boimann]

reblog to let people know it's ok to bother you with questions and statements

[absent-enigma]

Probably about 3/4 done with this one shot (title and summary pending, now that it’s typed form is online)

Maybe I’ll post it this weekend, unless the dust naga chapter behaves for edits instead (or I post a new chapter for something in a different fandom).

[absent-enigma]

AuguSnippets is an event that encourages the short and sweet of the whump genre. Ideally, your drabbles would be under 500 or even under 100 words, maybe even just a dialogue prompt. This, however, does not mean I won't reblog longer prompt fills! Don't stress too much on that limit. I just think it's sometimes nice to challenge yourself to write shorter drabbles, and it can also work as a very good exercise to write daily or semi-daily, and it doesn't need a lot of prep.

As for tagging your work, please use the appropriate trigger warnings. This is so everyone can stay safe and avoid potentially triggering topics while participating. Also, if your work is nsfw, please don't forget to tag it as mature content! If your work is not tagged properly, I won't be able to reblog it! Thank you!

Our special tag will be "#augusnippets day [x]". On the first day that would be "#augusnippets day 1". This is so I and others can find your work easier! You can also tag the blog, that's an even more surefire way to get me to notice your prompt fill :)

Is this a writing only event?

Yeah, this one is exclusively writing focused.

Do I have to use the special tag or tag this blog?

Not if you don't want to get featured on this blog :) It's just so I can find your work easier and reblog it here! If that's not something you're interested in, just scribble away without it.

Is the "under 500" a hard limit for the word count?

No, but I encourage everyone to try and keep to it in the spirit of this event.

Can I submit nsfw works?

Yes! Just please tag it properly :)

Can I mix and match the prompts from different paths?

Yes! Have fun!

[absent-enigma]

Ngl tempted to figure a pairing out for each of the ‘paths’ for this too, since it’s for shorter word count, and have something to post a day. So many options for august prompts.

[absent-enigma]

Random thing, but I’ve wanted to try one of those choose an option (2-4 of ‘em) story (kind of like choose you own adventure, but instead it’s consequences of an option, without ability to backtrack, and to see what happens for a story. Just something also bouncing around in my head as another writing exercise to do inbetween wips.

[absent-enigma]

One of the July one shots I have planned to post soon is from this prompt from one of my July break bingo cards.

I finally decided to try out that fae dream idea from before (the oop you’re accidentally married now and the village is congratulating you what)

[augustwritingchallenge]

We present to you, the AU-gust 2024 prompt list! 🎉

What is AU-gust? It stands for Alternate Universe August, and it is a creative challenge for everyone. Writers, artists, fans; anyone can join! Be sure to check out our FAQ for more answers! Join us on Twitter, AO3, Discord and under the tags #au gust and #au gust 2024.

Special thanks to @yaoyorozoops for creating our wonderful graphics!

[absent-enigma]

For future reference, if there’s a generic or x reader with an au sans or papyrus anyone really wants to read (and I’m aware of said au), message me or drop it in the ask inbox. I’m planning to make a collection on ao3 when it’s august and to post some one shots (or two shots) as an exercise ( I’ll add in a prompt from bingo cards too, for a direction). I’d love to do at least half of these, if not more. Might pin a post for what’s taken, if there’s any takers for this.

(Honestly, I ought to open my ko-fi sometime, but for this, I’m just in the mood for some future writing to do between wips ‘cause I love to write a lot-even if I overthink edits sometimes)

Naga Dust

He's such a silly guy

[aylish91]

@absent-enigma look what we got here~

[absent-enigma]

👀 I need any and all dust naga, etc so I can put them in a box and shake them like a bony maraca.

[absent-enigma]

Just posted the first chapter of the Dust naga fic over on Ao3. It's called:

Forced Proximity to the Naga (because I unironically read those sci fi alien romances for the plot, even though the stories are usually packed with a lot of smut most of the time). The situations these characters get into tends to crack me up and those stories are what inspired this fic, along with bingo prompts.

I don't think I can link the fic here, since the rating is going to eventually go up from M to E.

[absent-enigma]

Updated with chapter 2. Chapter 3 likey will be posted on sat/sun.

[absent-enigma]

Ch 3 is up!

I kinda wrote more than I expected to for the chapter, so it’s almost 5k lmao. Got a little too into writing the last bit of the chapter >:)

Off to go throw myself into bed with *that* lingering in my mind.

[absent-enigma]

Damn sex pollen

Not quite XD

But not ruling that out for later on in the fic, when things have calmed down, toward the end of the wilderness part.

[absent-enigma]

Editing is going well for the new ch of the naga dust x reader. Likely will post it this evening/night or early Monday morning, depending on how long the final edits take.

For now, here’s a (somewhat edited) snippet >:)

Stranger aka Dust having some trouble for some reason. Weirdly affectionate when moments before he wasn’t. Huh. Wonder what happened.
