i've gotta finish at least one drawing of the girls from my fic just to share the mental image i have of them some times. on my wip list i have: A mapping of Rumi's patterns; the bike scene prior to the fall; the grocery shop scene; and pictures of cryptid Rumi in rural japan.

i believe i'll get around to finishing them at some point but i'm unsure if anyone else should too lol

Writer's meme: 15, 18, and 23. Not at all because I am curious about your WIPs. Not at ALL!

Fanfic/author’s asks game

15- Does anyone you know in real life know you write fanfiction?

My siblings, including @abrubag . We can read other people’s fic together but maintain a firewall about ever reading each other’s. Just feels wrong.

I had a college roommate with whom I discovered ‘slash’ and we were friends for more than a decade and been in fandoms together or adjacently, but then she started a family and you know, RIP time for fandom and fics, so I lost touch.

18- How many WIPs do you have and how many do you expect to finish?

You’re going to hate this answer, but I try not to ever have more than one actual multichapter WIP. My brain doesn’t tolerate multiple unfinished things. So having finished Selfish Gene, the only fic I could remotely consider a WIP is my occasional forays into writing more in ZM verse from HL’s pov. And I do that on a very as-inspiration-strikes basis, so I’m not sure it’s ‘in progress’ so much as ‘to be added to optionally’ 🙈

23- What’s a story you’d love to write but haven’t even started yet?

To make up for my complete lack of WIPs I answered this with 3 fic ideas here.

So...

Lately I've been working on one of my drafts for a fic with multiple characters. More specifically - HSR (oh wow) and Genshin men as dads, each one includes my thoughts on that + a little snippet from his and yours life as parents.

I am almost fully done with 5 HSR men, and as for the Genshin - rn 7 are planned, three of which have the 'thoughts' part fully written.

Should I finish and post both HSR and Genshin in one post, or make separate ones?

HSR and Genshin should be:

Posted together

Posted in separate posts

Writeblr Intro

**edit: moved to @paradisiacalshroud

So, since I'm intending to post more of my writing on here, I've decided to join writeblr.

My name's Franklin. I'm 10 days away from turning 17. I'm trans and aroace. I use he/they pronouns and prefer he/him. Ig I could consider my self a "gifted kid", but I really I just have adhd. I wasn't sure if I should join writeblr honestly, but I do follow a good amount of writers on this account and my main account and I do write more often than I draw, so....

More About Me & My Writing:

I've always enjoyed reading a lot and storytelling. I really want to tell stories, and I'm very passionate about my writing, but it isn't something I could ever do as more than a hobby, even if I want to get anything published.

World building is my jam. I absolutely love world building. Many of my stories explore that world building, as all of them (except one) take place on the same planet, Dirt, in different countries. World building is so fun!!!

My biggest audience in my writing is myself. I do share my writing with others sometimes, but a lot of what I write is written to cater specifically to myself.

My writing style is influenced by how many of my favourite writers go about storytelling. It's hard to describe what my style is like though. I find my writing gets influenced by whatever book/writing I read last that inspires me. It also depends on what sort of vibe I'm trying to create in a piece. A collection of short stories I'm working on, for example, has a more old sort of vibe to the writing, in a way. The stories in it are sort of like fairytales, and I take inspiration from older, fairytale-esque books I read as a child to create that nostalgic fairytale feeling in my writing.

In my writing style, I also really enjoy playing with phrasing and how I use words. I like to create pictures with my writing, and I like placing words in specific orders to evoke a specific feeling in the reader. Especially in my more fantastical and fairytale-esque pieces, I like to play around with unconventional phrasing. (Google Docs hates me for it lol.)

Honestly, I don't tend to write with an audience in mind, or with a much of a genre in mind. I mostly write fantasy and science fiction, sometimes a combination of both. Even in my one piece of contemporary fiction, there are elements of science fiction and fantasy. Fantasy is a genre I cannot live without. There's so much you can do within the fantasy genre.

I try to explore different themes and genres within fantasy and sci-fi settings. Like coming of age, superheroes, murder mysteries, heists, magic, found family, corruption, nature. And like mental illness, abuse, addiction, gender, sexuality, different forms of love, and different societal norms.

I also write the occasional bit of fanfiction. I recently lost like all of my work on one of my fanfic wips, so I haven't been working much on any fanfics recently...

In addition to all that, I write poetry and prose. Mostly to process emotions and events in my life. A lot of it is pretty personal and I don't post it on here. A lot of it is also pretty incoherent and unedited. Currently, the only prose I have posted is a piece I wrote about my mum and what it's been like being out to her as trans.

I'm still exploring what mediums I want to tell different stories in, but I largely work in short stories and novels.

Current WIPs:

(* = I haven't settled on the names of some of these still... but here's what I refer to them as.)

Waldosia: After seven long years at sea, Waldo Fischer returns to the Do:chaut port town of Val:dosja to finds things gave changed just as much as he expected, and the people have changed even more than he expected. There is little time to dwell on it, or how much his ex, the smuggler Shia Grimm, detests him, with the plot that brews on the horizon, however. Waldo and Shia must team up, however reluctantly, and work together with a mysterious woman on the inside of this plot if they want to keep their loved ones (and Shia’s smuggling enterprise) safe and tidy things up before Shia’s wedding turns the corner. | High-fantasy, heists, pirates, forgiveness (or lack thereof), anger, mystery, corruption, queernorm

As Kesh, under the name Double A, fights this new villain, he unearths the bigger, more serious plots of a villainous organization and falls unexpectedly for his new roommate. | High-fantasy setting, sci-fi, superheroes, enemies-to-lovers, corruption, drama, queernorm

Of Sea Jewels and Great Lords: A collection of short stories regarding the Astellean legend of a mage trapped beneath the Heart of Astelle and the sorcerer who put him there. And regarding the side of the story untold in Astelle, of a sorcerer and a made-mage fell in love on a journey to the Heart of Astelle. | High-fantasy, fairytale-esque, queernorm, love vs. duty, dragons

Shielda × Dlade*: A young made-mage in the Iroman military, Shielda von Bauble Kate, never intended to become the fated bearer of a high-ranking armare. (I haven't decided the plot beyond that, but this story is an exploration in friendships, love, and Iroman society. Probably some ethics as well because military.) | High-fantasy, queernorm, love, friendship, societal norms, magic swords, military

Rosy*: Rosy's already crumbling life falls apart when she gets turned into a vampire. After being thought dead for months, she works to reconnect with her fiancée and family, and to get her life into some semblance of order.

Finished Works:

The REX Scandal: When the country of Randia opens an easy immigration program, the Randian Emigration Exchange (or REX, for short), Janine Rognue signs up, hoping it isn't too good to be true. Which, of course, it is. She ends up stranded in a new country as part of an emigration program that works as a scheme to get more of Randia's large male population married. However, she is able to find help and safety in a similarly scammed member of the exchange, Turgul Dolx, and maybe a bit of love along the way. | Low-fantasy, strangers-to-lovers, queerness, homophobia

Future WIPs:

Seeing Ghosts*: Realyn Lockworth moves in with a new roommate, Madden Livry, in Calderine City and he’s perfect—kind, caring, gentle, a great housekeeper—but he’s not really Rea’s type. Not that it matters because she’s not in the city for long; once she’s done her practicum as a research assistant for Professor Octem, she’ll be moving on to bigger and better things than a cheap shared apartment. But when Rea begins getting haunted by literal ghosts from the past, her quiet roommate may be her only hope. | High-fantasy, ghosts, some sci-fi, hurt/comfort

So yeah. If any of that interests you, please interact! Tbh I'll probably stalk through your blog if you do. I'd love to find more writers to follow and interact with! :)
