meet the writer: aj (updated for 2026)
(a.k.a. my writeblr intro, done properly)
i've decided that it's time for an update!! a lot of things have changed in the past two? three? years, so it's only fair for me to update this thing so that you guys know what's actually going on here now 😅
(same aesthetic though i'm still the same dorky nerd lmao)
my name is aj (she/her pronouns pls)!! i’m 28, black, and i live in the uk. i graduated from uni back in 2020 (covid student rip) and currently work as a lab assistant, hoping to make my way up to lab scientist, but i’ve been doing creative writing for 10+ years!! i’m trying to maintain my reading habits by reading about 2 books a month (which you can see on my fable - follow me there if you want!!) and getting back into writing regularly by doing regular writing prompts based on fun facts (which i share on tiktok!!). overall, i write a variety of fanfiction and original works (both based off my own characters and those i currently/have rp’d with in the past). i'm not taking requests atm, as i'm trying to get back into the swing of things and hope to possibly pick up some of my old projects this year!! but in general i love being asked questions about what i'm reading, my WIPs and my characters and basically any characters i write, because i love delving into character thoughts and doing character development (so please send me some!!).
this blog started off as a way for me to share my fanfiction writing, which is how i got into writing in the first place and how i came to love it, but now i’m wanting to expand some more share/talk about some of my original works too!! i write ya sci-fi in my original stuff, but i’m known to drift into romance, action-comedy and crime when it comes to fanfiction works. i’m also over on ao3 as andipxndy.
my main fanfic writing fandoms are percy jackson (the whole shebang from pjo all the way to toa) and alex rider, but i also enjoy watching ncis, and criminal minds, recently started watching star trek (all the way from the original series!!), have recently calmed down a little on my obsession with heated rivalry, and sometimes dive back into old favourite animes (inazuma eleven will always have my heart). i may be slow to write or respond to stuff but i DO enjoy diving into discussing fandom stuff too!! i also like playing video games like sims 4 (ea is a money grab pass it on) and cities skylines, and enjoy dnd and rping with friends!!
before this intro gets too long, here are my main WIPs, some of which i hope to get back into this year:
365 prompts: a prompt a day challenge (will always be a bit behind on it but that's just me atm)
a challenge i've set myself in an attempt to get back into writing, where i take the fun facts i read in a "fact a day" book i bought late last year, turn each fact into a prompt, and write in response to that prompt for either a fandom or an original
more wips (the ones i haven't touched for a while):
power play (1st draft completed, left to stew)
the first original wip i planned, the story is intended to be part of a 5-book series about a 20-year-old who accidentally gives himself powers, and ends up drawn into the science underground whilst trying to save people that he may or may not have also accidentally given powers. and all whilst trying to appear completely normal to his mum and get a summer job whilst home from university.
the crossover (still working on 1st draft, is my main/november nano project)
this is an adaptation of an old rp au i had with one of my closest friends, adjusted to have new, original characters despite the same plotline. it follows a 17-year-old girl as she’s accidentally transported into a parallel universe, where her parents aren’t her parents and she doesn’t exist. in an attempt to get home, she ends up crossing paths with the people who are meant to be her family, and finds out that they’re all superheroes. insert drama and shenanigans here.
fanfiction fics and requests (ongoing but this is technically a wip)
technically counts as a wip as i have a backlog of fics in progress to write and share for requesters (and some ideas i’ve had myself), but these are mainly either alex rider or abbott elementary fanfics that have been sent in via ask. you can see extra info below the cut after the next paragraph. my requests are currently closed, and i’m working through my backlog. the request(s) active for the forseeable future are:
none atm
anyway, this is all i’ve got for now!! i'm basically focusing on getting my writing back up to scratch, so i won't really be taking part in many other challenges this year, if any?? but you never know. it's the beginning of the year, there's still time!! other than that, that’s about it!! i’ll be sharing snippets of my work, and i regularly share links to my fics!! if you’ve read this far, i applaud you, but thank you so much for reading!! i’d love to get to know more writers on here, both inside and outside of fandom spaces, so please feel free to jump at me and send me asks and messages and stuff!!
