Thought I would create a pinned for organizational purposes while I get the whole js stuff solved for this sideblog so I can edit the theme and pages.

Do you have any fics you're excited to post soon??? 🥺🥺🥺

This is how I found out that not only do I have the inbox open here (which is great! no one uses it but this is a barren desert so I get it) but I have anon on (not so great!). Thank you for your interest in my writing???? Flattered.

Anyway, I always dread going through WIPs for ~reasons~ but only had to to refresh my memory.

A post-canon fic I wrote a couple of weeks ago, which I really like. I had the idea on April 28th of this year (iykyk, and if not, you'll see) but it wasn't until 5 months later that I saw it and went wait a second. I had a fully formed idea, with some conflict that gave it an extra urgency. It has a little angst and some fluff, and I loved writing it.

A campaign/pre-canon fic with an actual posting date (Nov 15th, provided I can find someone to beta it). It is shorter, because 4k is on the short end of word counts for me. I asked the giftee for a prompt or two (she already read the fic I offered as a present earlier this year, which would be a good candidate for this list!) and they were all great, though I initially went blank. Until I didn't. Not a lot happens, but I believe it's a fun, flirty moment! I meant for it to be fluffier and funnier than it turned out to be (I think, though it has both); the muse had other plans. It does have my favorite opening line I've written in a very long time.

I should tweak and post the one-shot (first of many, hopefully) that I wrote, which continues the Pregnancy AU universe. This one has an idea I had while writing the actual fic, probably over a year and a half ago. I like it a lot, but there are some parts I need to talk over.

I didn't talk about my exchange fic but that one intimidates the fuck out of me, but if I get it right, it can be goooood. I need to plan it better.

There are many others I'm hoping to post at one point (aforementioned present I used in April, which ended up being far smuttier than original planned, but I still love it; a 💍 fic I expanded into a 4+1; the post birth story I have an older and 'newer' (2023) version of, where I like both and can't choose, etc) but I also have no time to edit.

Hope this works and I didn't lose somewhere along the way! thank you for the question!

#anonymous #asks #it's been a minute since I've talked about my writing #I actually just deleted a very personal reason #I did see a fic in there I was so excited to post last year until I wasn't. it was good! now it's dead in a ditch.

And perhaps he hadn't really been there at all — until tonight. CJ didn't know how to explain it, but she was always amazed by how a chance conversation could turn an acquaintance into someone you had a newfound appreciation for. “Who’s to say you’re not a loser anymore?” She retorted, making him laugh brightly. A sound, she was surprised to think, she really liked. Originally posted: 18 October 2025 (All four chapters up!)

Whenever she closed her eyes, she heard Nora’s cries — which weren’t always real, but felt like it. Adapting to her new reality had taken her a second, but she had spent the better part of seven months getting used to the idea, preparing herself for it.

But Carol, being excellent at her job, was also excellent at reading the room, and reading her. Originally Posted: 09 May 2025 (Chapter 17)
