Love you so much and I look forward to reading more of your writing and just chatting with you in general!!
How many fanfics did you write this year?
10! Which is impressive for someone who is primarily an artist rather than a writer!
2 Alien Stage fics (one of which blew up way more than I ever imagined)
How many words did you write this year?
I specify published since I have ongoing WIP works that havenāt been published that would definitely SPIKE that word count lolā¦
Itās not THE MOST Iāve ever written in a year, but Iām pretty proud of myself!
Did you try anything new this year? (new fandom? new pairing? new language?)
New fandom! To Be Hero X is my latest fixation and Iām hoping itās one that lasts, I havenāt written this much for a single fandom in a while and the ideas just keep coming! I love Nice and Lin Ling a stupid amount, I think theyāll become one of those ships Iāll always fondly look back on even if my fixation ends! I honestly watched the show for the cool animation and this ship jumped out to me when I wasnāt expecting it, but Iām so glad it did!
I donāt know if this counts as a new language but I have been practicing my Chinese a little because the show is in Chinese! Been helping people learn things too about the culture the best as I can.
Did you participate in any fests/events during the year?
Nicest Week! I helped a little to set it up and Iām glad I was able to draw for every single day of the week!
I also did a server gift exchange but Iām a little disappointed in myself for what I had givenāsometimes thereās artworks that I make that I donāt like no matter how many times Iāve redrawn it and this was one of them.
Iām participating in a zine! Itās the same as the one King mentioned and Iām so excited to work on my second ever zine.
Which is the funniest fic you have written this year?
Oh definitely āFish Out Of Waterā. Fish Nice is so dear to me and I love him so much. I also love just how dumb Lin Ling is:
The sirenās shoulders hunched as he tracked the way the brunette scanned the room, saw the empty tank and the trail of water that hadnāt evaporated yet. Watched as Lin Ling stared back, stupified by whatever conclusion he had come to.
āDidā¦ā His voice came out hushed, āDid you eat my fish!?!?ā
Nice blinked. Turned the words over in his mind. Twice.
āI did not eat your fish!ā He snapped back, āWhy is that your main concern right now??ā
āBecause I care about my fish??ā Lin Ling said incredulously, āIf you didnāt eat my fish, then what the fuck did you do to him?!ā
I mean. Is that not stupid. I love him.
Which is the angstiest fic you have written this year?
āSpotlight Dancer (Strung Up On Bloody Stringsā is definitely the angstiest fic Iāve ever written. I donāt typically write things that are dark even though I actually read a lot of it, but this one I needed to get out. The imagery was so clear in my head that I had to try and put it down in words the best as I can and I think I did a pretty good job of it! I think I could do better though, Iām looking forward to improving my writing so that it truly reflects the kind of vision I have in my head when I write.
Which is the steamiest fic you have written this year?
āA Gift Wrapped In Redā is definitely the winner. I meanā¦ itās 5.6k words of almost pure smut. I have ever written this much smut and I really did try my best to put images into words with this one.
Which is your most valuable writing lesson learned this year?
Just keep writing, swap between things if you need, but just keep writing. Sometimes Iām convinced that I need to finish one thing before I start another, but really I can just write whatever, whenever I want. Iāve been better about it and Iām slowly working my way through the list of things I want to write.
What do you look forward to writing next year?
God thereās so many! For now Iāve got a couple of things Iām already working on: Ghost Nice AU and some more lingnice smut fics!
Iām also looking forward to working with @kingofanemptyworld to get our Vampire AU out to people (and crush some hearts).
There was a fantasy isekai AU that I had an idea for a while ago that I want to also write (And potentially write smut for)!
Just so much that I could go on for way too long about.
Not sure if youāve been tagged already but @fireflyapocalypse ! If you wanna play along then come and do this writing wrap up too!
