one day i'll write a fic about otacon and rosemary in their widower and divorced single parent eras respectively, years after mgs4, about them spending more time with each other for sunny and john, becoming closer friends, eventually falling in love with each other and creating a happy little combined family together, and then you'll all understand. but until then im alone with my hallucinations

Every time you tag me in something, the voice in my head goes "What the fuck did you do now?"

I am honored that you think that of me 💕

Hi I'm Hal! Just popping in to say hi! How is the writing going?

Hey Hal! I’m Ree, she/her nb. It’s going pretty well, if all goes well I should be able to finish my siren fic by thursday, which I’m really excited for, and I’m almost done with a scene that was difficult to write in my nano wip since it’s centered around a character type I’m not super experienced with. How about you! Tell me about your wips!

What's been your biggest WIP? Like, in terms of how long you've been working on it, how much goes into it

Hmmmmmm, I think For Queen and Country has got to be it! 

I have a couple of WIPs that predate FQAC (Wanderlust, specifically), but in terms of how long me and my partners have been working on it and how much goes into it, I feel like more work overall has been put into FQAC possibly?

FQAC has been an idea to die for, but it’s been a really bumpy ride. @decantae came up with it I want to say... 3 or 4 years ago? It was originally run as a group roleplay on a play-by-post forum where it was too popular of an idea — too much was going on, and it was unsustainable for us, the people running it. The burnout was really intense. The best thing that came out of it was meeting @inconsistentlyontime though!

We’ve tried running it for a group of people a few times, but honestly that sucked the life out of me, which is probably why I’d say I put the most into it? It was really draining, and at times really devastating, to the point where all of that outweighed the joy and the good parts.

I think FQAC is currently on... it’s fifth iteration? Instead of a large group thing, it’s just me, @decantae and @inconsistentlyontime doing whatever we want for it, and I gotta say, it feels amazing. Because it’s just the three of us — two people I adore and have been writing with for years — and because in its fifth iteration, we’ve really had the opportunity to fine-tune, focus and hone-in on certain plots and characters to where we’ve trimmed all the excess, it finally feels fully realized to me.

I’m really excited for where it’s going to go in its fifth version! We have!!! So many cool things going on for it!

We do of course, have to write it now.

What's your favourite thing about your WIP?

I like how it’s a cocktail of things from all my favorite stories and games and stuff, I really like the aesthetic of it and I love how obsessed I am with it so I can write it and not get bored lolol

What's your plan for Nanowrimo? Are you entering? What will you work on?

Thank you so much for asking!

I am planning on entering, as I have for almost every year since 2012! Whether or not i succeed is debatable, but I want to try to at least get some words down.

I currently have two WIPs, Lost Girls (a YA contemporary coming of age story that I actually did last year, but I'm working on the rewrite), and my first proper WIP, Paper Hearts (a YA mystery featuring small towns, secrets, and much more!). I got burned out on writing it, but now I think I'm ready to try again.

What about you?
