3600 words later and we've gotten to the smut portion of this fic where i get to treat my baby boy ziggy with the love and care he deserves because NO ONE HAS EVER REALLY TAKEN CARE OF ZIGGY AND NOW I GET TO DO IT RIGHT
this might be the longest one shot i have ever written and also one of the best one shots i have written like i'd put it up there with Ordinary Destruction in terms of my personal best i'm really cranking some good shit out with this one
thinking about how freeing it felt to write that richie/ziggy fic and then post it with absolute glee knowing that it was destined to be a flop because that pairing doesn't exist outside of my own head.
like i know ao3 stats are basically the points system from whose line is it anyway where they're completely made up and don't matter but you never really feel how true that is until you are 1 of 2 writers on the entirety of the site with a fic for that pairing. unparalleled experience. 10/10 recommend.
one of the things i love most about writing tkk-verse is getting to explore the personalities and attitudes of some of the minor characters. i love writing susan as kind of bratty and a little mean. i love writing jimmy as a little neurotic and tommy as a bit of an instigator. it's just fun playing with these characters that feel really fleshed out in my brain despite having so little screen time in the film.
the great thing about writing for a rare pair crack ship is that you can be as self indulgent as you want you can throw in every trope and every delightful turn of phrase because ain't nobody reading this thing but YOU
me, 40k into the ballet au: what if none of this is any good and it's just a big giant mess and everyone hates it?
also me: BUT ARE YOU HAVING FUN THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS RIGHT? RIGHT????? RIGHT??????????
writing a long fic is not for the weak i'm going to throw my laptop against the wall
