“Finnick,” Annie murmurs against his lips, and it snaps him out of it, sending him backwards, all but falling off the bed and nearly taking her with him.

👋 hi! for the fic writer ask 3, 23, and 30? 😊

hello!

3. how you feel about your current wip

rip me! lmaooooo. no honestly. it's been six months at least since I updated you looked at me which I can easily describe as the bane of my existence. here's the thing. I really know what I want to write. but I'm not gonna lie, I lowkey resent this fic for snowballing the way it did. it was supposed to be a one-shot, max two-shot, where as an offshoot from the library scene in bridgerton kate and anthony end up sleeping together, complete with some references to the book library scene but better. and these idiots just kept talking to me to the point that it's at 51k and I have this vaguely planned out but not concretely. I also have a gajillion other wips that I haven't touched in forever. I'm just lacking in time rn and the capacity to allow myself to write if that makes sense. because I've been ridiculously busy irl and haven't had the time for fun stuff the way I wish I was.

that being said, I have started writing the next chapter, and if it goes the way I hope it does I'm hopeful I can get something out in the next month or so? touch wood?

23. pick three keywords that describe your writing.

chaotic! vivid (as in I can hear the characters speaking and I like to think my dialogue is pretty decent?). unhinged sometimes?

30. share a fic you're especially proud of.

I can't just share one so here goes.

at sea is quite special to me because of its focus on grief and fear which was pretty cathartic to write but also exposes a rare more vulnerable side to anthony. same with his port in a storm tho I also love that one for the billy shakes references!

I always have to shout out my magnum opus of sorts, the viscountess who vexes me, because to this day it remains my most commented on and viewed fic. similar to other fics (lmao) it started out as a one-shot and then massively snowballed, ending at 82k words because I had no self control. I think my writing has since improved quite a bit, because I started writing it in jan 2024 and I'm a different writer from then. but I am really proud of writing something that long and managing to do so in less than 2 months - literally wrote it towards the end of jan and already finished by the start of march. I am very impressed with myself.

and finally, I haven't finished this and it's unclear whether I ever will. but I have to shout out the old guard, which features laurel lance as nicky di genova and nyssa al ghul as yusuf al-kaysani - the sort of crossover of the old guard and arrow is the thing I never knew I needed until I wrote it. I think I have the last chapter knocking about somewhere in my google docs but idk if anyone would be interested tbh.

👋 hi hi! 4 and 10 for Crush in the wip ask game?

💜💜💜💜

4. share your favorite line of dialogue from a wip

so I hadn’t actually gotten to any lines of dialogue in this wip yet lol but I have one in my head that I really like because it’s so simple and yet it really in the context of the fic sends things spinning off their axis…

“Who’s this then?” the man asks.

10. share a song (or songs) that you feel represents a wip

We Were Wealth by Wye Oak

Hi! 🌻

hello!!

I’ve been listening to this album called The Line by Kalandra and it’s interesting because it’s one of those albums that I just know I’m going to start ugly crying to at some point, but I have absolutely no capacity to do that rn because I am so unbelievably stressed. which one might think makes me more likely to cry but stress instead slams me into insane focus mode. anyway it’s really good i’ve been writing to it a lot

Hi hi hi! For the prompt game 16 and 20 😊

hello!!! i hope you are well 💖 thank you for the ask!

16. Write the next 5 sentences and share

It was late, she could barely see, and she slammed the bearing down, too hard, on the porch. Too hard, because Finnick rolled over to face her.

“Sorry,” she said. “Need a new monkey’s fist, but I still can’t get the number of wraps right.”

“Want help?”

20. Share 3 images that would fit with a moodboard for this wip

✨ End of Year Questions ✨

tagged by @genyathefirebird thank you 💜 i was apprehensive to answer these because i thought i hadn’t written that much but uh. Turns out i wrote a lot it’s just that nobody’s seen any of it.

What is your favorite thing you created?

i think my favorite is zombie movies, because that felt like closing a chapter that i didn’t even know i’d left open. runner up is something slightly cursed encouraged by @xar626 whether she knew it or not where i returned to something I wrote this summer and it turned out it was 2k about a very pivotal blowjob. which i consequently wrote in comic sans. it needs at least another 2k before it’ll be ready for polite society

Which work are you proudest of?

AMARYLLIS i forgot i posted Amaryllis this year. i am so proud of it

Is there anything you are proud of that you achieved this year?

i’ve had brief shining moments where i’ve been writing every day and i’m proud of that. i absolutely believe that it was what allowed me to pass the big test i took this year because i had practice quickly organizing my thoughts and putting them to page

Did you explore anything new this year?

i learned to crochet! i took a class and then i was like yeah this is the life so i’ve crocheted a hat a lot of granny squares with my scrap yarn and am working on a strawberry bag

Which work gave you the most difficulty?

shout out to that time i got caught writing porn on a plane this year and i was like i have to post this or it’ll mean NOTHING and it still isn’t posted because i’m only halfway through revising and i have negative sixteen ideas for a title

What was your biggest creative challenge this year?

i found myself in multiple situations this year where i was confronted with something genuinely close to my worst fears in term of my PTSD, and in both situations i was required to do my absolute best on creative work, once taking a test (lots of writing!) and once playing in the pit in a very long and difficult production. being able to tap into my skills and perform to my best ability was one of the hardest things i’ve ever done and THEN i cut my finger and had to do 3 shows without use of a finger. so that was exceptionally challenging but i succeeded and overcame!

Which work brought you the most joy?

be on your way for sure, first serious smut i’ve ever published and a rarepair passion project. loved writing it and loved posting it

Which of your works do you think people should check out?

i would say i write pretty varied stuff, a lot of it is about grief and a lot of it is angst, so it’s hard to say but i think the series love, persevering is some of my best writing. prompt fills are all under #prompts and my ao3 is here

Do you have creative plans for next year? Is there anything exciting you’re currently working on?

i do want to set myself the goal of posting a lot of the fic on my phone if i can get it up to my personal standard. i’m really nervous about posting it because it’s a big departure from the type of thing i normally write and it’s also for a pairing that is very personal for me, i also know that it’s for something that’s older so i know it won’t be that popular which is always something that makes posting less fun

in terms of music, this is the year i fully learn the prelude to Bach’s 6th cello suite, it’s one of the most beautiful pieces of all time imo. i am also very fortunate in that i’ll get to play Largo from Dvorak’s New World which has been a dream of mine for a long time, plus i get the beautiful little solo 💖 and in terms of fiber arts, it’s the year i finally knit a sweater (or three) and crochet a couple blankets

Lastly, any words of wisdom or advice you’d like to share?

i think writing a lot and posting almost nothing has reminded me why i write, and that’s just because i love it. the external validation is nice and important but if you’re writing just for that, you will inevitably lose your joy for it, which is what happened to me in 2022. set goals for yourself, write what comes naturally, and you can keep it forever or post it, whatever serves you.
