Some writing updates, notes on Seyloy Week, and a bit about where I've been!!
First things first: thank you to everyone who took part in Seyloy Week! It was such a joy to read everyone's stories and see all the amazing artwork. Thank you to Bepsi and Medusa for being the best hosts ever. I've been invested in a lot of ships over the years, but Seyloy might be the one that best captures what I love about shipping, and this event really reminded me of that. Thank you all a million times over.
In case you haven't seen it, Chapter 2 of my Seyloy Week fic is now up! I had a lot of fun writing it, even if it's a little rough around the edges (or, as I like to call it, rushed). I hope you all enjoy it, even if there's technically no Seyloy in it yet.
NOW, onto where I've been. Oh boy. So, I had a move planned for July. I was getting ready to travel across the country and settle into a new city, which came with its own challenges, but I trusted my organizational skills and had everything mapped out. Well.
Fast-forward to early July, and I ended up making a rather urgent trip to the hospital. I had to undergo a lymph node dissection, as well as have some breast tissue removed. That was... a whole thing, and it put me out of commission for a while. The dissection was performed in my armpit, and my left arm was basically unusable for some time, which meant I couldn't really type. On top of that, the compression wrap around my chest made sitting at my desk so damn uncomfortable LMAOOO. Most of my Seyloy Week fic was written using speech-to-text and then polished later once I'd recovered enough to type again.
Anyways, the good news is: I'm fine! I have another trip back to my hometown scheduled for a routine exam, but other than that, my life is finally getting back on the rails! This is all still ongoing, but overall things are looking much better than they were a few weeks ago.
THIS IS ALL TO SAYYYYYYYYYY that I'm very sappy about this community and incredibly grateful for all of you. Not to get all CRINGY and CORNY, but I went through some pretty dark days, and reading everyone's comments and seeing all the amazing art people were creating genuinely made me feel so much more hopeful.
Now, onto what everyone actually wants to know: the next chapter of my longfic is coming along nicely and is currently sitting at around 8k words. Knowing me, it'll probably balloon to 10k before I'm done with it because I’m insane. Either way, here's a cheeky preview:
This post will most likely self-destruct before I die of cringe, but I just wanted to shout a big fat THANK YOUUUUU to Seyloy Nation.
