this fic will never be done
...I feel- so attacked right now? Like, this can’t be about me, but it is so clearly about me and my choices, I don’t- Listen, I need some tea.
Fanfiction Writer Asks
Most of the writer ask posts I come across are only like ten or so questions long so I thought I’d try to make a longer one because we like talking about our writing! Feel free to reblog!
1) How old were you when you first starting writing fanfiction?
2) What fandoms do you write for and do you have a particular favourite if you write for more than one?
3) Do you prefer writing OC’s or reader inserts? Explain your answer.
4) What is your favourite genre to write for?
5) If you had to choose a favourite out of all of your multi chaptered stories, which would it be and why?

7) When is your preferred time to write?
8) Where do you take your inspiration from?

20) Are there any stories that you wished you’d ended differently?
21) Tell me about another writer(s) who you admire? What is it about them that you admire?

27) Do you make a general outline for your stories or do you just go with the flow?
28) What is something you wished you’d known before you started posting fanfiction?
29) Do you have a story that you feel doesn’t get as much love as you’d like?
30) In contrast to 29 is there a story which gets lots of love which you kinda eye roll at?
31) Send me a fic recommendation and I’ll post it for my followers to see! (The asker is to send the rec not the answerer)

Everyone knows I’m absolutely terrible at remembering to answer this stuff, but if you have a question for me always feel free to ask it, meme or no meme.
I’m the worst at answering these but hey, I like attention as much as the next person who’s desperate for attention. So give me attention and maybe I’ll satisfy your pity-ask burning curiosity about me and my writing process!!
Being with you and not being with you is the only way I have to measure time.

Fair assessment of my general state of being as of late. This month. Year. Life stage. Y’know. Just trudging along with a hot thermos of flavored mint tea, sleepy blinks, and the occasional energy outburst. But the dust is officially starting to settle after a year plus of work/med struggles, a happy job switch, & a dramatic 4 month cross-state+house move, so hey!
Haven’t written in months, though.
Not from a lack of interest. I thought that may be it, but tries at other fandoms and stories didn’t end up much better after short energy bursts. Just got more bunnies crying for food out of it.
No, I just haven’t had the time or the energy, and what time or energy I do have, I don’t feel I can spend on writing. I’ve been trying to take better care of myself & falling back into writing seems too costly, too much an obligation.
Which is odd, isn’t it?
I realize now I’ve been falling into the trap of thinking of my stories as projects, with expectations. Like I need to write x amount of words in a sitting to be ‘successful’ and like I need to behave a certain way in publishing, avoid being erratic and polish drafts 3-4 times and such. And worse, I’ve let perennial fears of content backlash stifle what urge I have had to write.
That’s silly. And goes to show the good in keeping fic!writing as a ‘hobby’ in my mind, and not comparing myself to others’ capabilities or prioritizing reader reaction over my desires. They’re such givens, and yet there’s a reason it bears repeating.
But, anyways.
Most of this came from an old friend sharing a sweet musing on one of my stories, and me realizing I’ve been sitting on drafts for way too long due to invented concerns & expectations.
Still deciding what & when to do something with them, but. Some fan-writing philosophy food for thought, if you like.
But again, not dead yet. And in a very holy state of mind.
This isnt a joke my favorite piece of writing advice that I’ve ever seen is someone that said if you were stuck with a fic and couldn’t figure out why or what was wrong, your problem is actually usually about ten sentences back. Maybe there was something wonky about the tone or the dialogue or you added something that didn’t fit but it’s usually ten sentences back. And every single time I get stuck in a fic I count back ten sentences and it’s always fucking there
If you write yourself into a corner, back out of the corner.

Hur, WOW am I behind. 😂 Happy to have the tag, though!
Rules: answer 10 questions and tag 10 people you want to know better
Relationship status: Single Favorite color: Forest/emerald green, blue, teal, silver Three Favorite foods: cheesy buttery pastas, egg biscuits, baked potato soup Song stuck in my head: Analogy by Ayane The last thing I listened to: Hit and Run by LOLO Last thing I Googled: ‘japanese grade school student sleep schedule’ ...I’ve been note taking a lot for Second Light and I wanna layout a realistic daily life for the kids. I always find slice of lives flow better and feel free if the ‘internal clocks ‘work consistently. Time: 6:45pm Dream trip: Paris. Always Paris. There are more THINGS from Japan I would want, and it’d be great to go there in general (and other places, Egypt, NYC, etc.) but Paris as an entity + location of so much art, history, life, natural and architectural beauty, gorgeous layouts, amazing metro, everything? If I ever win the lottery you’ll find me living on the suburb edges of Paris - just in easy access of the metro - because I could spend a lifetime exploring that city. Anything I really want: Peace of mind. i.e. control of my ADHD. The last two years has wrecked my nerves and focus and stripped away whatever ‘thick skin’ I developed in my twenties. Energy & interest in most things after work days is a fight, and I am Tired. Thankfully I am right now getting some potential help for it, so fingers crossed! Tagging: @kudalyn @sitabethel @celepom I legit have no idea who’s active right now, these are just the top popups. 😂 If you see this and you wanna go for it, please do!
no write only daydream
At the end of the day, you can't know how people are going to perceive your writing nor the messages they will grasp from it. You can't control the audience and you shouldn't want to. What you can control is the story in front of you. Don't try to create something everyone will agree with, don't try to create something absolute that everybody will see in the same way. That's dull. It takes away the fun of reading and writing.

Chapter 5 Opening
Goro should have shot Shido when he had the chance.
Properly, that is. A bullet to the brow, right where he shot Joker– Kurusu a lifetime ago, and walked away feeling like air, light and free and empty. Right where Shido had a bandage last March when he came back from some forgettable meeting with a forgettable politician in some backass town a few hours from Tokyo. He claimed at the time that some inn worker had screwed up and not dried the floor properly in his room’s restroom. That he slipped and hit his head on the sink.
He lied. Kurusu did that, even if it was Shido’s own damn fault. Because of course it was his fault, everything always went back to him.
But no, when the Palace shook and Goro shot again, he went for a leg, not the head, because he had accepted– but he shouldn’t have. Shido didn’t even react, and then he was out of reach, the whole room collapsing upwards as Joker’s team exclaimed stupidly around him. Fox at least had the sense to move with Goro, and the rest followed. And Goro was ready to just end it by the time they caught up to the Palace Ruler again, consequences be damned.
But it was too late. Unless Goro could get close enough to shoot point-blank, his bullet wouldn’t pierce that stupid helmet.
Of course, there was always the usual option.
The new chapter is live!
This seems pretty spot on 🤣
