Heartslabyul is my city now @avispraeda - Tumblr Blog

Obligatory pinned post.

A resident amateur writer just here for a laff. I go by AvisPraeda on AO3, though chances are if you’re looking at this you’re actually FROM there.

Currently heavily invested in writing for Twisted Wonderland.

I’ve written (and still write for on occasion) fics for the Kingdom Hearts, Fire Emblem, and Fate series, among others that haven’t ever seen the light of day and likely never will! :D Fics will NEVER be written, edited, suggested, or have anything to do with A//I. Please do not ever feed my fic to it, rewrite my fic with it, or finish any of my unfinished WIPS with it. I just like using long em dashes leave me alone.

I frequently forget I have this, so it’ll likely be extremely spotty with fic updates. Fair warning.

My current pet projects are a self-indulgent, FGO-inspired adventure fic called Queen’s Unfinished Canvas: Wonderland and a post-canon TreyRid-focused healing fic called Through The Keyhole.

So uh, small update. I am still working on the next chapter, and it WAS coming along smoothly, but then I discovered the phenomenon known as the "Ao3 Writer's Curse" through experience. Over the weekend I asked some friends to help keep me accountable when it comes to writing in an attempt to shift gears and be more productive. Started working out well, plucking away at my wips. Even jotted down a draft for a possible request post! And then literally yesterday I injured my wrist at work and was sent home. It's not a bad injury! The wrist isn't broken or fractured, but I've been letting it rest and will be chatting with a doctor about it tomorrow because while it has improved after a day, there's some lingering problems I'm concerned with. Leaning towards a pinched nerve but we'll see! So yeah, that's kinda thrown a wrench into the whole "two chapters in May" deal. I'll do my best, but if there's no update before the end of the month, then you know why. Sorry about that everyone 🙇 Also if you saw a post about a lucky shrimp earlier, no you didn't.

Good news! My wrist has healed up nicely, I just need to watch what I'm doing and listen if it starts feeling icky. Bad news! I either have a sinus infection or covid 🙃 do not know which yet, feel like buns regardless. No ETA for new chapter, just gonna continue taking it easy.

#the writer's journal #tw injury #again not bad but i figured just to be safe #writing isn't entirely off the table it just kind of sucks to do with one hand #also technically BOTH wrists were caught in the incident but my right one felt fine after a bit of ice. ill get it checked too dw #guess that shrimp wasn't very lucky after all hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Out of curiosity, would anyone be interested if I open up writing prompts/requests? Every now and then I get tempted to try and I always end up chickening out. But the way fandom as a whole has changed over the past few years and the current trajectory of things scares the heck outta me so, I dunno, might be a fun way to toss some joy into the space while also chipping away at my own anxiety. Short snippets, a couple hundred words maybe? Something like a warmup or when I need to give my brain a break. idk what do you guys think? Consider this an unofficial interest check.

#the writer's journal #no guarantee i will by the way just. curious.#IF i do i'd draft up a quick list of nays so things don't get awkward #also they wouldn't be commissions no money involved dont get it twisted #man i dont even know what metric to track interest by. likes? comments?#maybe a better way to connect to fandom would be to start replying to comments on ao3 regularly but idk that feels a step too big #heart swoopin just thinking about it. something about tumblr feels less daunting

A few days late, sorry about that, but Chapter 16 of Keyhole is finally here! Another encounter with Trey's brother! Will they finally begin seeing eye-to-eye?

#fic updates #treyrid #twisted wonderland fanfic #fun fact i got so angry about being behind on my plans that i finished writing this one out on the BUSIEST DAY OF THE YEAR. ON SHIFT.#hooray for controlled spite!#irl continues to be something of a shitshow but it's fine we're making it work slowly but surely #hoping to get TWO chapters out in may to make up for april even though may will be just as if not more chaotic #BUT. we shall see.

Very likely chance that there will not be an update this month, due to the combined influences of an incredible amount of medical fatigue and Tomodachi Life In related news I'm very heavily tempted to take inspo from Tomodachi Life events for fics because Trey getting knocked flat on his ass by Riddle and immediately falling for him while he gazes up from the dirt is so funny.

#the writer's journal #a lot of the medical stuff is more the mental strain of it all than physical so don't worry! im ok!#just very tired and treating myself lol #im still gonna try and finish this next chapter before may since it's coming along nicely just. yanno. dont hold your breath #very much appreciate the people sticking around even with the slow schedule <3

"I'm branching out, I'm trying new things, I can write more than just the same two or three topics over and over again!"

Looking at my (meager, messy) notes and realizing that I'm about to write a broom-tutor heart-to-heart scene in a longfic again

#the writer's journal #apparently i only know one story and it spins constantly in my head like its being microwaved #no no listen it's actually genius if i angle it just right i can make it a mirror to the MNP one and show riddle's growth #unfortunately my ability to angle needs work shjkghdsgskhgs

I am no longer working on Keyhole or any of my wip fics. I am no longer writing in general. Goodbye.

APRIL FOOLS lmao can you IMAGINE?????? I may not have a chapter update for you yet but it's still very much being worked on 🫶

#the writer's journal #april fools #admittedly i still am fighting the demons back but like i said it's not gonna stop me #even if i feel like my work is mediocre at its best or that my writing has gotten worse im going to keep going #because finishing a project is part of making progress even if the end result isnt up to expectations #and first and foremost im doing this for me. this is my art.#getting a little real in the tags of a silly joke post lol sorry

Fic writers & fellow Ao3 users I have a question-

Do you like it/is it correct Ao3 etiquette to comment on a fic you liked even if it’s like, from 2005 and from a fandom long dead? I’ve been tossing and turning about this because I don’t wanna accidentally like, bring back middle school trauma for sonicfan420 on a random Tuesday.

ALWAYS COMMENT

#reblog #huge shoutout to the people who recently commented on my lexzex stuff #i read these comments daily for a boost like a shot of espresso

Told ya I was gonna get it out by this weekend. Wasn't even worried haha [SWEATING PROFUSELY] Chapter 15 of Keyhole is out now!

Do be weary, as this chapter does contain some discussions about animal injury and death.

#fic updates #treyrid #trey clover x riddle rosehearts #trey/riddle #twisted wonderland fanfic #Trey's had it too good for too long he needs a little prodding

Next chapter of Keyhole is ALMOST done, with any luck it should be ready this weekend, but before then I gotta get a lil thing off my chest, so please bear with me for a moment while I be vulnerable under the readmore

Writing in this era of AI use is so soul crushing. I'm trying not to let it bother me but god it's so hard sometimes. Going offline for a reset doesn't help much either because I keep tripping over it in my day-to-day, "do you use AI for [x]" / "[family member] is using AI to write [y}" and so on. I'll jot down a line, a paragraph, whatever, fall madly in love with it, and then a few hours later as I'm reading it back I'll suddenly go "but what if people think this sounds like AI?" I'll come across a post outing a published writer accused of using AI with an excerpt and my dumb mammal brain screams "does my writing sound like that? can mine be mistaken for that?" And it suuuuuuucks. I'm not going to stop writing, and you'll catch me buried in the ground before I ever use AI for it, but I hate how this is not only slowly sucking the joy out of one of my favourite hobbies, but also supercharging my perfectionism in a new and wholly uncool way :/

#the writer's journal #sorry for getting all anxious on your tls lol the demons broke in through the window and decided to hold the keyboard hostage #i await the day when i no longer experience fear in what i love #im just grateful that in the meantime i'm still able to experience that joy at all

You can usually tell what kind of book I'm actively reading (or not reading) at any given time because it starts working its way into my prose, and as cool as it is to look back and see my brain adapt, it's also frustrating as hell because it makes everything feel hilariously inconsistent jdhshskxhs

You'll get one paragraph that's just super straightforward while I'm trudging through some trashy 2.5* romcom I happened to grab from a shelf, and then the immediate next one is poetic and gorgeous because I started reading The Left Hand of Darkness and now every thought is being filtered through Le Guin's writing style.

#the writer's journal #'Why not just go back and fix everything' very sound suggestion!#unfortunately i dont always have the energy to manage a full revamp for the third or fourth time #so i must accept what comes from me at moment-of or else nothing will ever be done #perfectionism looms at the ready and i must beat it back with a crowbar

HAPPY (LATE) VALENTINES DAY THESE TWO ARE GOING ON A DATE CHAPTER 14 IS OUT NOW!

#fic updates #treyrid #trey clover x riddle rosehearts #trey/riddle #twisted wonderland fanfic #the locusts cannot stop me forever but boy did they sure try

Trying very hard to get the next chapter of Keyhole out while it's still Valentines day but I think this one's gonna be a day late folks...the locusts have descended upon me.

#the writer's journal #it's MOSTLY my fault this time in ignoring warnings so haha whoops #also in case you're wondering no i don't mean LITERAL locusts but frankly i think i'd prefer them

cheaphalloweencostume

i honestly stopped worrying about my writing being mistaken for AI because i honestly don’t think any program trained on the human conventions of the english language would actively choose the foul and grotesque deeds i force words to participate in on a regular basis

Question for the Twisted Wonderland fandom as a whole, would it be in bad taste to go back and add the anime fandom tag to some of my older fics? I probably wouldn't do it for ones like MNP that have obvious spoilers for books that haven't been adapted yet, but for some of the oneshots? What's the protocol for this kinda stuff?

avispraeda

Thank you for the input! I've updated some of the fics with the new tag, and only some because I quickly realized how tedious this is going to be to do in one fell swoop. Also for the time being I'm excluding fics based off of in-game events. Maybe I'll add it later.

#shoutout to the tag system for suggesting i tag this as 'cu chulainn alter'#hi buddy why are you here? you want an evil dog snack? some evil scritches? this isn't your fandom this is about twst
