📊🤔🧠? :D

📊 - Current number of WIPs

god i honestly cannot tell you i have no idea and my docs are a mess

🤔- What is the hardest part of writing fic?

not calling it done at 1000 words sobs i don’t like not being able to finish a fic in a day which is ridiculous because it’s like, a given that it will take longer than a day unless it’s a very short fic which i like writing but i also want to write longficcccc i wanna write something big :( without it taking a long time to finish.

🧠 - What's an idea you have that you can't quite call a WIP yet?

i was thinking last night about Jin Guangyao and what he would do if he time traveled back to his teens because there’s some things that i think he would do VERY differently with all the knowledge he had by the end of the novel, but at the same time i think he’s a character that would be very aware of how much small things can cause a ripple effect, and with how instrumental he was to the sunshot campaign…would he risk the wen winning the war? would he risk changing things early on, thereby losing his advantage of foresight? would he be able to not change things, with all the humiliations he went through the first time? probably it’ll never get to WIP phase because i wouldn’t have the patience to stick with it, much less the skill to pull it off in a way i’d be happy with, but it’s been a lot of fun to “plan” it anyway

Minimus didn’t do this sort of thing. He never did this sort of thing. He could be…rash at times, yes, but this was entirely unlike him.

Stealing a person from the government. What was he thinking?

“You’re—very fast,” the orange mech said. He was holding onto Minimus quite tightly.

“Am I?” That probably wasn’t the correct answer. He was so bad at speaking to people in situations he hadn’t planned for. “That is—thank you.”

It was only after he’d said it that he realized it might not have been a compliment. He was always misinterpreting these things.

“You’re welcome? Oh, oh! Watch out for that—oh by the pious pools, how did you make that jump?”

Minimus looked back briefly at the wall he’d just vaulted. Was it unusually high? It hadn’t been hard to leap over it.

Minimus turned his head forward again. It wouldn’t do to trip.

“I suppose the momentum might have made it easier. Ah—I apologize,” he said, belatedly. “I never asked you for your name.”

For some reason, the orange mech laughed at that.

“I suppose you’re right,” he said, chuckling. “He haven’t been formally introduced, have we? My name is Rung. Rung of the Pious Pools.”

“Minimus Ambus of Ambustus Minor,” Minimus said. “It’s a pleasure to meet you. Are you all right? You seemed—”

How to put it? He’d never heard someone make that sort of noise before, a sound of pure agony unlike any other. It was still ringing in his audials.

Rung just laughed again. “You know, I think I’ll be just fine.”

Wolfwood watched warily as the kid took in the dilapidated town around them. He ran his hand over the sandy ground, and then turned to look at Wolfwood and Meryl.

“Did you kidnap me?” The kid asked. He sounded, bafflingly, far calmer now. “If you’re from outside the ship then you might not know this, but I can’t make anything for you. All I can do is eat and sleep. I’m sorry if you stole me hoping I’d be useful.”

It’s quiet.

Not unusual; it’s often quiet aboard the ship. Shockwave has never been talkative, and Starscream speaks much less than he used to, before his voice was robbed from him. Ravage rarely speaks at all anymore.

Handfasting + batb?

handfasting is the sequel to the r1 dratchet fic—have a snippet from it ;3

“I’m not taking your hands,” Ratchet snapped. “We’ve been over this.”

and batb is the trigun sort-of-beauty and the beast au i want to write (eventually…i actually work on it…) where wolfwood apparently says things like “more limbs than god has hooves”
