Lily's Fandom New Year's Resolutions

Hey, guys! So you know how people are always drawing up (and then failing at, lmao) New Year's Resolutions lists? Well, I've had my 14-day trial of 2021, and I'm not sure I'd like to upgrade to premium 🤣🤣😐 Case in point, things have already been absolutely crazy, and there's a whole horde of things I wanted to do that just... never happened. And so I thought, maybe I could deal with the fandom part of them by drawing up a good old New Year's Resolutions list - and, hopefully sticking to it, unlike the traditional miserable failing.

So here we go... in my fandom year of 2021, I, Lily/daisylincs, resolve to:

Finish my Trick or Treat challenge 'tis done!! celebrationnnn 😍

Finish my agentsofchallenges Fluff Bingo

Deal with this:

Deal with that:

Deal with this:

Start and finish the three series I promised for my 100 Followers Celebration - Danny Boy & Quake, Sky's the Limit, and Spider-Dorks

Finish at least 20 things on my WIPs list, with the help of my Marvel Fluff Bingo

Not create any more WIPs until I've gotten the number down to below 200

I'll cross of resolutions as I finish them so we can see how spectacularly I fail how I work through them!! Unbelievable as it still is to say - happy 2021, guys! Crazy or no, I can't wait to see what this year brings us 💜💜

Is my Shadow & Bone obsession growing by the day? Yes. Does it bode well for my neverending WIPs-list, other show commitments here, and general productivity that I made a sideblog for it? Nope. Did I do it anyway? You bet Inej’s knives I did! 😍 Find me at @inej-queen-of-my-heart <3

Hey guys! So, work and illness irl have been hitting me pretty hard this month, and I'm absolutely EXHAUSTED, I'm afraid. To that end, I've decided to give myself a week or so off from fandom entirely just to rest up and breathe a bit before I jump right back in.

💜💜💜 Love you all loads, and see you soon again!

I'm so bad at weekends, like, "no ma'am I can't explain why Jamie didn't do better on his mock exam, maybe he'll be able to explain it when he also explains why he didn't do the revision work I specifically set for him to do, also *stares longingly at laptop* literally all I want to be doing is watching Shadow and Bone on Netflix, not explaining to some concerned mummy that there is nothing more I can do if your darling didn't do his work. Yes of course I'll call and help him when I've also got these ten hours of lesson planning behind me, thank you so much have a nice day!"

*exhausted sigh*

[daisylincs]

no ‘tis the damn chapter 3 today, I’m afraid, my fellow Skimmonsers 😕 I know I promised updates on Thursdays, but I’ve been hit pretty hard by #real life and #work lately and the next chapter is just... not written. 😭🥺 I’m really sorry, especially given the not-so-fab place I left the babies in the last chapter - but unfortunately, if life wants to happen, it does. I hope to see you all again next Thursday, by the latest, with a fittingly-evermore-titled update 💜

Hi lovely people who follow me,

As many of you will undoubtedly know, the school year has started up again - which means it’s time for me to throw myself wholly back into my teaching. 

This time of year is always absolutely crazy for me, what with the whole rush and rigmarole of getting to know my new students, getting re-acquainted with the old ones, figuring out where everyone’s at, who needs extra help, who’s ahead, how I’m going to structure everything this year, and so on and so forth.

As a result, I’m probably going to be a lot less active here on Tumblr - but I just want each and every one of you to know that I am still here, even though I might go offline for a few whole days on end when I’m feeling particularly overloaded. I still want to talk to you guys, and gush with you, and play tag games with you, though, even if it does take me a whole lot longer to actually get around to it all.

My inbox is always open, and so are my DMs - so if there’s something you’d like to share, or thought I might enjoy, or even if you just want to say hi, you are so welcome!! Tag me, ask me things, come yell with me - I might be a little less active, but I still love you guys to absolute pieces, and nothing could ever persuade me to give up these things.

Another super sad side effect of this all is that I’m going to have to close all prompts and requests for the time being - because while I absolutely adore hearing from you all (in fact nothing makes me feel more flattered and happy with myself) I also have this teensy little problem of Too Many WIPs™, and realistically I just... can’t add anything else to my plate. This year is just already such chaos, you know, and unfortunately time is not on my side.

But that doesn’t mean I’m not writing!! I am, and I’m loving every slightly-rushed second of it. To do a quick run-down, here are the projects I’m working on at the moment:

Agents of Birthdays 

A.K.A. my quest to write all my fandom friends a special ficlet fic for their favourite ships on their birthdays. For obvious reasons, there’s no update schedule for this one - it’s just whenever someone has a birthday. I’m also very proud to announce that this is the one series where I have, to date, been on time every single time!! And I really do plan to keep it that way. 

(For an idea of the birthday schedule, see the amazing @bobbimorseisbisexual‘s Celebrations page. For fic teases, DM me and I will HAPPILY provide 😏😏😏)

Danny Boy & Quake

Sky’s the Limit

Spider-Dorks

I’m going to do the little explain-y thingy in one for these three series, because they all form a part of my 100 Followers Celebration! 😍😍 Gosh, I still can’t believe I’m this far over a hundred followers - LOVE YOU GUYS!! 

Anyway, anyway, anyway. So, in these series, I created three AU settings and asked you guys for prompts - and I got some really fabulous ones, I’m delighted to report!! I’m working on all three of these series on the side (slow but steady wins the race) and it’s my hope to have them all mostly completed and ready for posting by or around this December.

Spideychelle Week 2020

Oh, boy, this event finished literal months ago, but here I still am, just barely half-way through. *cringes* I am still working on the next few fics for this, somewhere... vaguely productive in my brain. Does such a place exist? Ahem. I wish I could tell you when I’ll actually get around to writing the next lot, but as it is - the link for the series on AO3 is here, and who knows, maybe I’ll surprise you all and myself and actually finish it this year. WHO KNOWS. I can live in hope, though.

AoS Season 7 Countdown

I should really change the description of this to “LATE,” because good heavens, is it ever late!! This was meant to be a series for BEFORE the seventh season of AoS, and now season 7 is over and the series is... not. I can’t bring myself to say I’m done with it yet, though, because I do actually have the fic plans for the last three days all figured out!! So I’m just going to say this is a series for me now, instead of for the official event, and I am not quitting on it yet. One day, it will be completed. One day. We can all live in hope together - also, the AO3 collection is here.

...

Okay, whoa, this post got awfully long-winded!! I swear I only meant to write a hundred words - I swear it. How does this always happen to me??? 

Anyway, TL;DR: I love you all to pieces, and I’m signing off with the biggest load of virtual hugs sent out to you all!!

~ Lily xx

Hey guys! Time for a quick me update: I'm going to be a lot less active for the next couple of days, as the school I work at closes on the 16th and we have quite a hell of a lot to finish before then. See you all properly on Thursday-ish again! ily guys 🥰
