Progress Check!

My second DOAI OC animatic is near completion! I just have to add the text now and it will be ready to post! Then, I can get to work making a video where I talk about Davey and break down both of my animatics.

Last year, I tried (emphasis on "tried") to regularly keep track of my writing progress on here to hold myself accountable and ensure I actually see my WIP plans through, so I'm going to be attempting the same thing this year... except in an entirely new post because those old plans are quite dated. Also any fic mentioned is a hiruhoshi fic unless specified otherwise because my brainrot is still going strong and I doubt it'll cease anytime soon (not that I frankly want it to though).

An update on one of those older plans:

I'll Do The Dishes, We'll Carry The Load (previously titled Healing Hands) is completed and posted! You can read it here if you're interested :)

I've started drafting a second chapter of In Your Skin, which wasn't part of the original plan for that fic, but I really wanted to try my hand at writing body horror (despite not liking horror, let alone body horror, to begin with) and also expand on some things I didn't get to flesh out properly in that first chapter. Will it ever see the light of day? Who knows, but I'm trying it anyway.

Okay now onto the new plans...

The Foundation Of It All

Status: Drafting

Estimated Number of Chapters: 3

Current Word Count: 15,941

Deadline: First draft completed by the end of June, posted by the end of the year

Oooh boy this fic is a doozy. I consider just giving up on it entirely more often than I'd like to admit HOWEVER I'm actually quite proud of what I've already written and I'm also very very stubborn so it's like. I can't not see this through. (And I'm fairly certain my Sachirō brainrot is strong enough to let me finish this... when I say this guy occupies at least 70% of my total brain capacity I'm NOT joking.) I have the pre-timeskip timeline outlined pretty thoroughly, but the post-timeskip timeline is... still a work in progress. I know roughly what I want it to entail (and I have certain scenes outlined and partially drafted), but my vision for it isn't as clear as that of the pre-timeskip timeline, so I'm going to be focusing on the latter until I feel confident enough to continue the post-timeskip timeline.

Dog Days Are Over

Status: Drafting

Estimated Number of Chapters: 1

Current Word Count: 1,842

Deadline: First draft completed by the end of March, but no set posting date (maybe I'll post this for Kōrai's birthday???)

And the saga of "Aisha isn't used to writing fluff and it's painfully obvious" continues! Which might not make sense given the title but I promise it makes sense with the direction I'm taking the fic in (of course, the title is subject to change, but still). I might actually get the first draft done sooner than expected, since I've been making some good progress with it over the last few days, but only time will tell.

You're Made Of Memories You Bury Or Live By

Status: Drafting

Estimated Number of Chapters: 1

Current Word Count: 3,426

Deadline: First draft completed before the end of February, but no set posting date

Now this is the plan I'm (hopefully) most likely to see through because I'm actually almost done with the first draft! I'd gotten the idea for this while writing IDTDWCTL (as well as from my own personal headcanons), so I'd had most of the events of this one conceptualised by the time I started writing it and I've stuck pretty closely to my initial vision for it. Is it good? Depends on who you ask, but oh well.

Some other WIPs/ideas:

Hiruhoshi sickfic -> conceptualising, not yet started

Hoshihina relationship study -> started drafting but lost motivation less than 300 words in, so I've taken a step back from it until inspiration strikes again

Hikaru (hikanatsu) character study -> started drafting (I posted an excerpt of it here if you're interested), but I tend to get really intimidated when writing for more popular characters/pairings (or characters/pairings that are more central to the narrative), so who knows if/when I'll finish this :')

My art progress 2025-2021. From an old random drawing, I made a new art with a new original character, the vampire Graham. It turned out to be a cool progress :)

Hey friends if anyone here is waiting for the Patreon newsletter. I swear it's almost done. I'm at a conference talking about gays my research project and I'm also juggling two different bureaucratic issues aside from the usual Average Adult Problems™️. But the newsletter will still get out this week—hopefully before Sunday, as the next After Dark free update is on the 21st. Then I could have a small surprise for y'all! Maybe even two! Who knows. I have to wake up in five hours and I'm here planning things like I won't have a meltdown around early afternoon so I should be going!
