Hi! I'm Amy (She/Her)
I write fanfic, which you probably already know if you came here from my AO3 page (where I go by hurricane).
Currently I'm writing for Fourth Wing. Specifically, if you're chasing the third instalment of Remi's Version we're still a couple of months away, I'm sorry!
My favourite colour is green, I love Taylor Swift and Fall Out Boy, and I hate spicy food (but love spicy books).
Below you'll find links to my work/fandom masterposts & some FAQ

✧ FAQ
Do you have an update schedule?
Not really. Sometimes it's once a week, sometimes twice, sometimes not for weeks (though I try to only do that in between projects), it really depends on the hyperfixation.
How do you write so much?
I get super anxious about starting things and not finishing them (and then having people asking me about them) so I try to write ahead before posting, so it isn't always in real time. I do however write on average (based on year to date) 2.5k words a day, which I guess is a lot for most people? The simple answer is I don't work full time and I try to write everyday.
What's your writing process?
I prefer writing either in the morning or later at night. I always write in bed, propped up against the headboard. Sometimes if I'm home alone I'll venture out to the kitchen and feel supremely uncomfortable for no reason, so I quickly return to my low-lit cave.
I just write what I'm inspired to write when I'm inspired to write it. I've learned not to force it, that just makes writer's block worse!
Do you have any writing advice?
I do! I get asked this a lot, so I wrote a masterpost: Part One—the advice & Part Two—the resources
Can I bind your fic?
At the moment my stance on fic binding is that it’s fine if it’s only for personal use and not for sale, profit, distribution or commission. Please don’t use commercial companies like print houses (due to legal issues). I feel very strongly about fanworks being and remaining free, and the way fic-binding has been commodified recently worries me 💖
Do you allow translations of your work?
You’re bilingual, that’s so cool! I appreciate you asking 💗 I believe in fanfiction being accessible to everyone. I would request however at this time that any translations of my work be kept on AO3—there’s a checkbox you can tick to link it as a translation.
Can I use a scenario in your fic for my own or write something inspired by your fic?
Sure! See my in-depth answer/some thoughts on this here.
Can I use your original characters in a fic of my own? Or write in the same universe?
Mostly, yeah!
If you've been inspired by something I've written, I'm so honoured! I'd ask if you do write something in the same universe (like a spin-off), or if one of my original characters pops up in one of your fics, that you link it back to me (hyperlinked in the notes is fine, but AO3 has a built in function that's super simple to use too!).
My only caveat is to respectfully ask that you don't try to directly finish one of my works, or an ongoing series. I understand there's no 'fandom rule' against it and maybe it's been a while since I've been playing in that particular sandbox, but I am getting there eventually, I promise. With complete sincerity, if someone tried to finish Remi's Version before I could, it would break my heart.
My original characters are very close to me and while I understand it's not the norm/ the most popular opinion, I'm a bit sensitive about them. I'd like to keep them close, at least for a little while longer—call it a side-effect of pouring so much feeling into them.
Lastly, if you do write something with/inspired by them, it's highly likely I won't read it, at least until I'm finished the series in full. Thanks for understanding 🖤
What else are you working on?
I have a dozen fic ideas for Fourth Wing, at least four of which I've already written bits and pieces of while working on Basgiath (Remi's Version). I don't run on any kind of schedule though, they'll see the light of day when they do and if they don't, then they won't!
I also have two original novels I'm writing, one of which I hope to finish in the next couple of months (it's in the plotting stage!) I still haven't plotted properly 🥰
Will you ever come back to ACOTAR?
I plan to at some point, hopefully this year! I just want to get through some of these Fourth Wing ideas while I'm still inspired and eventually I'll come back to write Callie's story and maybe some Feysand, or an Eris fic. It's tough because I've been writing that series in third and my FW works have me in first person mode. I find it very hard to switch between them.
Do you have any fic recs?
I do! Only for Fourth Wing at the moment, you can see them all here. I'm slowly adding to the list/collection 🌟
Where do you get your dividers?
They're mostly all @saradika-graphics 🖤
