Fic Master post and Writing Plan for 2026

Hi.

As this is my writing blog it only makes sense for me to try to publicize my work. I'm not good at being hip and with the times, as compared to all the others (I'm more of the sit in a corner and play with the bunnies) but I decided that, hey, I'll just put this out here and we'll see how it goes. It's not like Fairy Tail is going to be as vibrant and a world full of potential and fun. And no, 100 Years Quest is not canon for me. I kind of stopped after Mashima's run. And from what I read about what they did to my guy, Gray then... whew, doesn't make me want to go ahead and read. Unless things have changed but given Mashima's writing... doubtful..

Also, Natsu. He's such a shadow of what he was. All the characters are. I'm really not a fan of 100YQ and of Mashima basically spitting on his legacy.

Anyway, I'm quite lazy but do like a good master post. It's just very pleasing to have things organized and with easy access.

So here we go. Hope you have a good time. (OK, still working on this so the links are dead atm)

Completed works

Oneshots

WiPs

Ideas that will become fics (because I can't help myself!)

oOoOo

Also...

At the beginning of yet another year, I have a lot of projects I want to work on. And WiPs to finish.

So here's a list that I hope to be able to complete by the end of the year!

Quite some time has passed but the idea still remains. Oh, and new plots have been added... (it's hard to pick and choose, just focus on one. Ooops)

a few plots scribbled from the reread

This is the plan, at least.

Feel free to say something or ask about the crazy stories - love to do that.

(If you think you've seen this before, yes, I only changed the date because I didn't end up doing any of the things I had planned. And that is something that continues on. Oops...)

Something so funny about rereading one's own unfinished fics. Like wow this is pretty good! Almost as if was written exactly according to what I personally like in fact! Someone should finish it!

Okay, the fics for the Gratsu Week are plotted!

But still need to catch an idea for Gratsu day - which part of canon should I mess with? xD

And now... the other difficult part begins: writing!

But it will be fun. :D

Funny but the warm weather and Summer makes me want to listen to: Ar Tonelico OSTs, City Pop and FT OST.

And write gratsu.

That is all.

I mean... I've been in a gratsu kick so despite the other ships appearing to say "hi", I've been mostly thinking of gratsu. I guess it's time to reread, maybe even pick up my reread here on tumblr.

happy pride month to them

chaoschaoswriting

The only writing advice that matters is this:

Persist.

Against all odds, despite doubt and scorn, with joy in your heart,

Persist.

Fly in the face of common sense and refuse to grow old where it matters most - your mind and soul.

Persist.

June Prompt Sheets

Juuuuuuuuuuuuuune!

Alrighty - we did Pride last year, and we got a little stalled on theme.

We're curious, though. Is there anything you guys would like to see? We've done Plural and Pride related themes, as they directly impact our mod team - and didn't want to seem... Like we're taking advantage, by doing something for Black History Month, Juneteenth, etc., with very non-Black mod team. However, we'd like to hear from any BIPoC members of our little community. Drop us an ask, swing by the discord, leave a comment - tell us what you'd like to see. If we feel we can deliver it respectfully, especially by working with (ideally multiple) members of specific groups if applicable, we'd love to give it a shot.

With that in mind, we veered away from an observational theme, and this month's theme is Tropes! These are the SFW prompts - the NSFW ones can be found here! (Most, if not all, of these tropes can be found on TV Tropes here!)

Text below the cut!

online numbers can really fuck you up when it comes to your creative work because you're sharing something you worked on with all your heart but it's very important to remember there's actual people behind those numbers. even if it's 1. that's one whole actual person. that's a human being who said "haha nice". that's a connection with a REAL person with a REAL life and REAL thoughts and feelings and experiences. like. damn. that should mean something

hey, blog! 🌸 anon here. I think there are probably other posts about long fic, but I was wondering if you or others have any advice on sticking to a single long story instead of jumping to another? I'm mostly of a short fic writer myself, and I'm so interested in the secrets long fic writers possess. Anyway, thank you for running this blog! An awesome project :)

I'll give you my secrets as a fellow short fic writer who sometimes dips into medium-fic and the occasional long fic.

Be obsessed with your story. This can go a LONG way to helping you maintain your motivation. Daydream about it. Make playlists about it. Talk to friends about it.

Try to make each chapter feel like a oneshot. Give it an opening, a middle, and a closing. Have some character development or achieve a plot point or drop a clue that will be used later in the story. The more you can give yourself the satisfaction you get from a oneshot, the better.

Do jump to oneshots on the side to keep you going through the long fic. Sometimes you really do need to get the feeling of "done" to be able to continue something that's still in progress. Don't deny yourself that feeling just because you think you should. Life needs dessert and short fic writers need completed works.

Embrace a B plot (and a C plot and a D plot). These side plots can last for a single chapter or can be threaded through the whole story or they can bridge from chapter 12 to chapter 18. Whatever their final form, these smaller stories-within-the-story also help to satisfy the need for a short, punchy hit of dopamine when the story is starting to feel huge.

I'll leave it there for now and open it up. How do the rest of you go about writing longer stories? Especially if you typically prefer to write shorter.

Honestly? Just allow yourself to jump to another story if that’s what you’re feeling that writing session. I have about two dozen WIPs right now. Usually I’ll be loosely focused on a handful or so at any given point, but that focus can shift. And that’s fine; if I put something down for now I’ll still come back to it eventually. Right now I happen to be relatively laser focused on a single fic, which means the last time I updated anything else was Saturday and Sunday.

The fic I’m lasered in on at the moment has a lot of relatively short (~2-3k words, with a few exceptions in either direction) chapters, which isn’t how I usually work. Finishing a chapter does give me a bit of an “I did the thing!” boost. When I’m writing a longer non-chaptered story, I pat myself on the back every time I finish a scene, instead. (This has turned into an unexpected perk of using Scrivener as my writing software; having the scenes separated into their own distinct documents in the story binder means a finished scene adds to the “pile.” I know there’s other software out there that also does this; yWriter and Liquid Story Binder are ones I’ve used in the past, though I’m not 100% sure whether LSB separated scenes or just chapters. Been a hot minute.)

Also: Walking helps your creative brain. Like, there’s science. I will absolutely turn scenes over in my head as I walk. At this point it’s become habit enough that it happens automatically; if I’m walking alone, I’m thinking about the blorbos. (If I’m not alone I’m probably engaged in conversation, and I have yet to master the level of brain multithreading that will let me carry on a conversation and mentally put guys in Situations at the same time.)

And yeah, having at least one friend you can talk to about the story can help immensely. Nothing like a friend being excited along with you to hype you up!

I'm crushed by the news of Anthony Head's passing.

I haven't followed his works religiously but he will forever be Giles from Buffy and Uther from BBC Merlin (he was so mean there) and saw him in some other brit shows and he was always fun to watch.

It's very funny to think that while watching Buffy, at first, I was with the Scoobies but when I did a rewatch some years ago I couldn't help but think that Giles was so right for being annoyed at the kids. xD

And today also marks four weeks since the accident that killed one of my dogs. I still miss her and notice her absence - especially on the night walks.

Needless to say that I'm feeling quite sad today.

How do i write a character who just got wings and getting used to them

How to write a character who just got wings

The extent on what happens depends on the span of the wings and if they can retract them. Some general ideas you can build on are:

1. Physical Sensations and Adjustment

Immediate sensations:

Weight or shift in balance, large wings pull the center of gravity backward.

Muscle soreness in the back/shoulders, especially along new muscle groups.

Hyper-awareness of the wings brushing against objects or catching air.

Itchiness or sensitivity if the wings "grew" recently.

Movement challenges:

Misjudging the wingspan and knocking things over.

Falling backwards because of the weight.

Learning how to fold them, awkward, slow, maybe painful at first.

Retraction (if possible) could feel like tensing very deep muscles or like closing a fist behind your back.

2. Clothing and Practical Issues

Clothing must be modified with slits, stretchy backs, or specialized harnesses. Jackets especially are a pain in the ass.

Backpacks don't really work anymore.

Sleeping becomes complicated, lying flat may be impossible.

Washing and grooming: preening feathers, drying membranes, accidental shedding, etc. maybe they need someone else to help them with this.

3. Emotional and Psychological Reactions

Internal:

Awe, excitement, disbelief, fear, claustrophobia (from a suddenly bigger body).

Feeling "larger than life" or feeling like a burden/monster depending on tone.

Social:

Depends on the worldbuilding and if this is a normal occurrence or not.

People stare, doors are narrower than they remembered, chairs become inpractible

Friends may react with fascination, jealousy, fear, or awkwardness.

4. Sensory Changes

Wings have nerves. Touch may be pleasant, ticklish, or painful.

Wind sensitivity, your character can feel air currents like a sixth sense.

Temperature issues: feathers insulate, membrane wings may get cold easily.

5. Learning to Use the Wings

Pre-flight:

Figuring out how to flare, beat, and angle them.

Overworking the muscles, leading to cramps.

Instinct vs. trial-and-error, do they feel intuitive or alien to the character?

First attempts at flight:

Running starts, panic flapping, short glides, messy crash landings.

Realizing flight requires technique (lifting angle, timing, wing power), not just force.

6. Realistic Physical Consequences of Flight

Flight demands big caloric intake, your character may become constantly hungry.

Stronger chest/back muscles develop, posture shifts.

Calluses or pads on feet if landing involves impact.

7. Daily Life & Worldbuilding

Will buildings accommodate large-winged beings?

Are wings common or unique? Does society have norms (wing etiquette)?

How does weather matter? Rain makes feathers heavy, wind can blow them sideways.

Also: If Wings Are Retractable

Retraction might feel like compressing or tucking away something huge, which may cause soreness or a sense of phantom wings when retracted.

Retraction could consume energy or rely on magic/technology.

There may be a risk of malfunction or partial transformation.

Retracting them can mess with the feathers, needing support to care for them when opened up again.

Hope this helps!

Some fans of certain media will comb thru all the canon material for their ship and be like "ohhh this is soooo much content we're being spoiled!!" and then you look over at them and *all* their content and its like
