Helloooo. This is sort of an introductory post/list of works, more so for my sake than others atp! I like organization, and my blog was the farthest from that to say the least.
While I don’t have a lot of works right now, I’ve been working on a couple of projects and will be continuously updating this list accordingly!
Anyways, my intro…
I go by the name Judectionary on all platforms, including Tumblr, Ao3, and Twitter (although I don’t use it). Jude or Judey is a shortened version which I honestly prefer over that mouthful.
I’m in a couple of fandoms, including Stranger Things, The Hunger Games, and Shameless! Although, it should be noted that I mostly engage with the first 2 only.
Below here are my analyses, ongoing fics, and art…

SOME EXTRAS:
Here are some of my art pieces/concepts for this fic!!
(In the first picture, it says that Will is the winner of the 22nd Hunger Games. As you can already tell, seeing as the Games have been changed to be the 124th, this idea was scrapped, along with his 100% guarantee of survival…)
I do have some notes, character studies, and maps I’m planning to post later, but I feel like that would be considered as spoilers.

Thank you for reading this! As I said, I’ll be updating this as I post more works, art, or comics.
i think most writers would agree that the struggle of writing a story is part of what makes writing enjoyable.
for example: when you write your first draft, then you reread it, and you realize it’s actually terrible. even laughable. i’ve laughed at my own work countless times because something seems so out of character or a sentence makes zero sense. but that’s when you go through, line by line, cleaning it up until it turns into something you’re proud of. nothing compares to that lightbulb moment, when you tweak a paragraph to make it perfect, when you finally write what you’ve been dying to say.
when an idea comes to you while you’re driving or making dinner or talking to a friend, and you can’t stop thinking about it until you write it down. when you open up the merriam-webster thesaurus for the thousandth time in a single writing session because you need a better synonym. when you write a piece of dialogue that makes you realize, “oh, there’s way more backstory to this character than i thought. i want to build on that.” when you make playlists and mood boards and cry while you write because you’re actually feeling what the characters are feeling. when you stay up until 2am on a work/school night because you can’t stop writing, and you didn’t realize how late it’d gotten. when you send a chapter to a beta reader and they say, “remove this tiny detail, it’s taking away from the scene,” and you’re like, “so that’s why it didn’t feel right. the solution was so simple, i can’t believe i didn’t see it.” when you read a new chapter multiple times over, scanning for any last-minute edits, and suddenly two hours have passed and you’re still proofreading (at this point, you don’t know if it’ll ever end). when you finally publish your work and feel so damn proud of what you wrote, because you know how much time and effort went into it.
the process is the fun. it makes me so sad that we’re starting to lose that to AI.
maybe the writers who used AI to create their works felt pressured by readers to churn out more chapters. but even with that benefit of the doubt, it’s still not an excuse. tell your readers you’re taking a hiatus, and if they don’t like it, that’s on them. turn off the comments if you must. block them if you must. take time to sit with your story. be frustrated with it. phone a friend when you’re stuck. be excited when you finally figure it out.
no computer will ever produce good art, because art is inherently human. art is thoughtful. art is stimulating. art is challenging. it’s supposed to be challenging. solving the problem, improving your craft, bouncing ideas off of other human minds, is what makes it so fun. it’s what makes it memorable. it’s why you slam the laptop shut, then open it up again, and again, and again. a story’s worth largely lies in the obstacles it pushed down to become a finished piece. it doesn’t matter how good it is. what matters is that it was written with a brain that actually cares about what it’s producing.
computers don’t care. they don’t care about you, and they don’t care about your work. typing out a prompt will never fulfill you in the way that just writing the damn thing will. so just write the damn thing.
