You are such an incredible writer, but youâre also an amazing gif maker! So, whatâs your favourite gif set that youâve made this year? Also, what is the fic that youâre most excited to write in the new year? Thanks for being such an incredible friend Kai đ„°
(literally me seeing your ask and am i copying q's answer to her own ask? the answer is yaaaaaaaaas.)
i don't really see myself as an AMAZING gif maker and an INCREDIBLE writer so to hear all these compliments from you is just straight up melting my goddamn heart vis. *teary-eyed emoji cos im in pc*
so to ask your... well... ask, i haven't been kind of productive this year, both in writing and editing stuff so i can't say i have a wide selection to choose from, but here's my ultimate fav gifset. like fr.
The shiver that goes down her spine is easy to hide, and has nothing to do with fear.Â
Sheâs gotten it all wrong, she thinks as he looks at
which predictably is a gifset from your fic which i've gotten so much interaction on and just having you message me about this was just... it honestly made me cry so yeah...
the freaking 'i know you have a lot of fic planned this year' just cracked me tf up. like... you and q know i go all ramble kai on anything resembling my fic ideas so you know what i already have in store next year...
first off, i am sooo excited to finally enter the spuffy writing fandom so there's that. i already have like 20+ spuffy wips in my docs rn but the most excited i am for next year are these two, i think: (and i'll be letting y'all take a lil peek of them)

âWho are you?â The Slayer demanded. Buffy could hear the restless fear simulating his heart and the cautious steps he took to back away from her.
Smart Slayer. So he has honed his skills then? Knew she was different from the other vampires he dealt around the small town.
Buffy grinned wickedly. Itâll be fun to dance with this one. âI kill your kind for sport, Slayer.â She let her words stew in the air, watched him put the pieces togetherâinch by agonizing inch.

Joyce's heart stopped completely.
Because standing at the door, a boy, her son she hadn't seen in years stood before her. Joyce had wanted to believe he changedâhair longer and tied at the back of his neck, still dressed in his boarding school's uniform but a few sizes bigger than she had first seen himâit was his eyes that gave him away.Â
It was cold and unfeeling. He regarded her as if she wasn't his mother, as if she was nothing to him at all.
"Joyce."Â
"Williamâ"
She watched his gaze snap over her shoulder and at once, the piercing cold melted into warm fondness as did the trembling tension in his body.
"Hello, cutie."
"Will!"Â
Buffy barrelled past her, leaping in his arms and she wasn't afraid, she trusted him to catch her. William staggered a few feet back from the impact, wrapping one arm across her waist and the other held her bottom to prevent her from falling.
"You're here. You're really here."Â
William held Joyce's gaze, a muscle in his jaw twitching as if to dare her to scold himâto remove him once more out of his Buffy's life.Â
"Never gonna happen, love. I'll be here forever. I promise."Â
Buffy sighed happily, enjoying the feel of his warmth, his hands on her.
Joyce sighed in resignation, turning away from the challenge in his eyes.Â
"It's cold outside. Come in."
At this, William grinned.
"Thanks, mum."
last but not least, how could i forget tvd?
take my breath rewrite (kolena + klena) i mean how can i ever resist kolena theyre like my main otp. i go batshit crazy for them.
Elena gravitates towards the lake, stares at her reflection in the water. Hates her face and her blood more than she realizes.
She loved her face and her body once upon a time. Now, all it ever does is haunt her every step and shadow surrounded by men who knew every crevice of her body. They knew her better than she ever did.
(It is the face that launched a thousand year curse, damning the girls that carried it. Reduced to nothing but objects in a manâs eyes.
Katherine was right. I am always right. She hears her taunting giggle and sees her twinâs knowing smirk. I told you so. Nothing could ever bring more joy to her evil doppelganger than proving that she was right.)
kolena roommates au (this was actually inspired by a spuffy fic i read LOL)
"Okay, 20 questions."
"Go."
"Who's your favorite?"
"Favorite who?"
Kol groaned. "Favorite Mikaelson sibling," and looked at her bashfully, like he was expecting her to⊠say his name?
"Rebekah."
He yelled out an indignant cry, "What a load of bollocks! You're telling me, after everything we've been through, I'm stillâ"
"You are a favorite," She cut him off.Â
"Really?" He gaped at her, astonished.Â
"My least favorite." She bit hard on her tongue, seeing the sheer disappointment and anguish encroaching on his face.
And somehow, his voice had gotten louder, belting out at a higher register than Mariah Carey. "I rank lower than even bloody Niklaus?!"
i do hope to be as productive as i was in 2022 when it comes to publishing fics cause i'll really wither and die if i don't manage to publish these four.

đż âą give some advice on writer's block and low creativity
(for this ask game).
I'm not sure how universally this works for other people but personally for me a thing that sort of works is not trying to force myself to do do more than is in me at the moment.
What I mean is that I kind of would really like to always write longer stories with lengthy chapters. But often when I sit down to write them the very idea of it is incredibly daunting and I just... don't.
So instead I write a one shot. I take an idea for a single scene and I write that single scene, and the plan is to write that single scene. And sometimes that's all I end up doing and I post a long drabble or a short one shot. But sometimes after I write that one scene I have motivation to write another short scene, and I ride that train until I run out of the spoons.
Basically. I think if I always sat down to write a 60k story, I never would have written She's Come Undone and Set Free at all. And my little one shots wouldn't exist either.
So if you think you don't have motivation to write anything longer than 300 words, just find something you're invested in at the moment and write 300 words for that. Don't even worry about doing 300 more words tomorrow. The idea is that 300 words is enough. You don't always need to weave a flower crown. Sometimes a flower all by itself is pretty too.
