As much as I love writing from Andrew’s perspective, sometimes it’s sooo hard to get into his headspace and capture his voice. whereas Neil is a little easier because no matter what’s goin on around him he’s always a bitch at heart
I've been thinking of rewriting/revisiting a few of my fics a lot lately. There's a few I left unfinished and others I wish I had done differently, and I can't really get them out of my head. I've been dying to write fanfiction again and even though I want to write new fic for aftg + tsc and have a ton of ideas, I think I really need to get these out of my system first.
Soo, I have a few ideas, but I wanted to gauge interest! I have more information about each of the project under the read more, and if anyone has questions, I'm always happy to answer :)
What fic "rework" of mine interests you the most?
The Court Motel (unfinished)
The Absence of You (unfinished)
Timeless (rework)
Things That Go Bump in the Night (rework)
Other/something else you'd be interested in (please lmk in the tags/comments!!)

Fic summaries and rework explanations below !
The Court Motel
Andrew is the unfortunate owner of a haunted motel, Kevin is the shiny, new detective looking for Nathaniel Wesninski, and Neil is caught somewhere in between.
Neil is a ghost in this one. I had at least three chapters planned for this fic, one chapter for each pov character (Andrew, Kevin, Neil). I think I tried writing chapter two but for whatever reason, I was never able to get past the beginning. But I have a soft spot for this fic and the weird little motel Andrew and Neil have found themselves in. I definitely want to edit the first chapter and finish the story.
The Absence of You
Neil Josten has been a liar his entire life. Neil's secrets got him killed and they linger after he dies, making the Foxes wonder who Neil really was, if they knew him at all. The aftermath of their beloved striker's demise still hurts the Foxes, most of all Andrew Minyard, who probably knew him the most when he was alive.
What they don't know, is that Neil Josten has thwarted death ever since he was a small child and he's done it again.
I actually hate the description of this but Neil is basically the human embodiment of a headache for everyone involved in this (including me 😔). I don't know why but this fic was s hard for me to write, despite actually having a substantial amount of outlining and notes behind it. plus I feel a lil bad for leaving it after like two chapters
Timeless
Neil has died more times than he can reasonably count. No matter how much he resisted, he would always be returned to the void eventually. The void, as Neil called it, was a dark and empty place, and Neil had spent more time there than in any of his lives. With no family left and hardly any time to start a life of his own, he never bothered to think of a solution to his cycle of deaths.
And then Andrew Minyard came along.
As you can see, I like killing Neil and I'm definitely on Andrew's shit list. I really like writing this but I literally had no idea where I was going with it at all times. I think at one point I was planning on Andrew getting kidnapped by Nathan/Lola which did not end up happening. thankfully. But it definitely feels disjointed and I want to clean up the plot a bit.
Things That Go Bump in the Night
Neil inexplicably comes back to life after being seven months dead and buried. He has no memory of how he crawled out of his grave, or even when he died. He has a heartbeat, he needs to breathe and eat and sleep, he's irrefutably alive, but that should be impossible. But he doesn't have time to dwell on it, because some very weird things start happening to him, and they all seem to revolve around Neil's mysterious reappearance and a certain countdown to Halloween.
....another one where I've killed Neil. okay. I swear I love him like that;s my boy.
This is fic is another one I've been wanting to rework the most. The plot itself is okay though the writing could definitely be cleaned up (I was rushing to meet the self-imposed halloween countdown deadlines and it really impacted that I think rip).
I mostly want to expand on the story and world building. I was thinking of rewriting it, but starting at the beginning of canon when Neil joins the Foxes. For some reason I keep coming back to the magic system, which admittedly is not very well fleshed out in the original fic, and I want to make it a larger part of the story. And the idea of a runaway Neil harboring an illegal book of magic to protect himself while he's playing sports ball at his college sounds like so much fun to me.
I am actually very shy and often don't know what to say in response to things BUT if you've ever left comments on my fics I just want you to know I see them and I appreciate you so so much!! I know I am awful at responding to them so it may not seem it, but your comments truly mean everything to me <3
I want to start writing aftg fic again but I'm rusty and really need to get back into the swing of things, so I'm taking prompts for ficlets (anywhere from 200-700 words, maybe a lil more). It can be anything, a word, a scenario, anything you can think of! I can't promise I'll get to all of them, but I'll do as many as I can :)
uh hi. is everything okay? you haven't posted in awhile... you don't need to respond, just checking in !
hi anon! sorry for the late response, real life is currently kicking my ass. i'm okay, just really busy:) i'll be posting my exchange fic pretty soon, but i'll probably be pretty inactive for a little while longer while i focus on school and work.
