12+17 for the writing asks!

12. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

It was a Charmed S1 AU where Prue and Andy's kid went back in time to save her parents from dying. So basically extrapolating a later season plot point and 'improving' it (I was like 10 it sucked.) I cannot remember what random forum that got posted on. My first FF.net fic was The Hunger Games, which I have since reworked (myself and a friend basically survived covid lockdowns by writing fanfic for each other) but oops kind of abandoned posting that on ao3 because I'm so Jenny brained right now. Lets see if SOTR compels me to update.

17. What is something you recently felt proud of in your writing?

I think my recent characterisation has been really good. Sometimes, writing Jenny is a bit of a cheat code in that she is done such a disservice by the show you have so much space to expand upon her. So with the body swap fic and all the POVs, I was jumping around characters I wouldn't usually write and had so much fun with it. I think Cordelia in particular I really nailed (and do need to write again she is so fun.) Similarly, I deliberately challenged myself with the toxic yuri fic to do it from Drusilla's POV as I considered her the hardest BTVS character to emulate the voice of and I'm proud of the final product.

Yesterday I caught Barb Wire at an indie cinema after work. Today I grabbed Korean BBQ with recently engaged friends and saw Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie. Tomorrow I’m watching a film about a magical cat. CINEMA.

Six chapters, 40k words, and a lot of bouncing around between different POVs... It's finally finished! It took a while but here is the final chapter of my body swap fic. It is time for some big reveals, some massive changes, and some serious debates (of the Power Rangers vs. the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles variety, of course! What else would it be?! Let me know your thoughts on the matter.)

“I can’t believe you’d do this for Angel, after everything.” “I’m not doing it for him,” Jenny admitted. There was a large part of her that felt it would be safest to just put a stake in his heart, ridding the world of his potential evil for good. That was something which would remain unspoken and was the sort of thought that wouldn’t be amiss within her family. She didn’t want to be like them, powered by vengeance—defined by the horror inflicted upon them a century ago.  She felt very little when it came to Angel’s plight. He was a changed man, he was a villain that had left a bloody trail in his wake and decimated the lives of thousands. Jenny had told Buffy the tale of her people earlier that day and though the girl had been aptly horrified, it couldn’t sway her love. One day, soon she hoped, Buffy would realize she could do better. Because, despite everything, she liked Buffy. Respected her, for she shouldered her far worse burden with much more conviction than Jenny had ever been able to. It was admirable. The girl fought for the betterment of everyone without getting anything in return. If this curse was salvation for her, then Jenny would do her best to provide it. 

Again, thank you so much to everyone for reading/kudosing/commenting/supporting me and this fic, it has been so greatly appreciated. I've got a couple more multi chapters in the WIP pile but will be throwing some oneshots your way next. See you soon for some more Jenny Calendar escapades!

I think I've finally completed the Body Swap AU. It's been 84 years.

The two best pictures of me in existence at the moment are me surrounded by old porn magazine paraphernalia in a bathroom and me next to a sign reading 'I <3 cunts' but posting them anywhere is a 50/50 toss up on facing a ban. RIP.
