Hello, Faon! Hope you're doing well! 🦋✨️
I was asking myself the same question, and I found it an interesting thought exercise, so: in the next five years, which ten goals would you say you've got for your fanfic writing hobbie?
It doesn't need to be ten goals you'll actually run towards in the next five years, if you ain't got smth like that in mind, but if you Had To choose ten goals, which would they be?
Oh that's an excellent question, actually. Hmmm. 💛
I'm not sure I'll manage to come up with 10 but, I definitely have some goals for my fanfic writing journey in the next five years:
finish the Shadowhunters fic I haven't uploaded the last chapter of in about five or more years; it's literally in my drafts, it's basically done UGRH
continue and maybe finish the Atomic Blonde soulmate fic that's still so so dear to my heart;;
the same with the Resident Evil / Atomic Blonde crossover vampire fic; I have so many ideas with a whole handful of OCs as well for that one
in the next five years I really wanna finish and start uploading my GOT7 timeloop fic, which is going to be the start to what looks like a trilogy or a quadrilogy at the moment; I was so so stressed and busy these past months with exams and applying for uni and then getting into uni and doing the whole sign-up paperwork, and I'm still looking for a flat share in the city I'll be studying in because that's apparently impossible to find;;; so. I really wanna get back into that story. I adore that story. so so much.
other than finishing current works, I think I really want to do a collab in the next five years, actually! haven't thought about the fandom or the specific person yet but I think I've been wanting to do that for ages now and never managed to
I also wanna breach new fandoms, to be honest. Rebel Moon for instance.
since I also write original stories, I am gonna talk about them too: I wanna write more short stories! I love writing short stories;;
do a series of poems about one topic maybe; especially those dictionary poems, I love those and I wanna get good at writing them.
I am going to still be in uni in five years and I'm not looking to turn my hobby into a job, but maybe I can sell ebooks ? I'm definitely not looking to become famous with them, but I just want to see what happens, honestly. maybe I'll make some money on the side with it you know?
other than that I really just want to keep improving my writing, even if I already really like my writing style 🩷
Thanks again for the question, it's fun to think about this! :)
