Live competitive painting at Dorchester Brewing in Boston on July 16, 2026. See the lineup, what to expect, and ticket options.
Friends, beloved mutuals, I’m doing another Art Battle tonight and it’s the last one I’m doing for a while! I’ll be painting in Round 1 at 8:00 pm est, and you can vote for me through the link if you are so inclined!
Taking a leaf out of @/sasslett's book upon seeing her post here, I thought maybe I should do something similar and make an effort to share my own works.
From personal observations, the writing side of the ffxiv community has been very bleak for many years, compared to fanart and gpose; it's also often restricted to a select few writers who are more well-known, and I know of some who pretty much had given up with ffxiv and are now happier writing in other fandoms instead. I'm a writer myself too, so it was quite demoralizing at first, seeing the almost-zero interaction with my fics. It took me a long while to come to terms with it: focusing on just enjoying what I want to do and honing my own writing skill, other people's engagements and unsolicited opinions be damned. I'm currently still experiencing writing blues after a hectic, deadline-peppered June, but I've been recovering quite well and already back to work on some drafts and wips. Original works and poetry are still my main focus with the goal to get more published internationally in print, while fanfics are fun writing exercises cum hobby for me at this point.
Rambling aside, here are some fic projects I'm working on so far:
A Study in Love [ AO3 ] — Bromantics (Estinien & Yiuno), set during Valentione's Day 2026. The idea is based on a funny conversation I had with a friend on Discord, but I won't spoil much here. Just hold your chocobos for now. Title is inspired by the Sherlock Holmes novel, A Study in Scarlet, by Arthur Conan Doyle. Sora Holmes Case Files [ Notion・AO3 ] — FFXIV & Sherlock Holmes AU. Currently on Book One, The Underworldly Trials of Adonis, primarily set in Ishgard to expand on the Brume, drawing inspirations from The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri. YoRHa: Dark Aftermath [ Notion・AO3 ] — FFXIV & Drakenier AU, loosely based on the Shadowbringers alliance raid series. Currently on Book One, Sins of Origin, specifically part 2 that delves into the worldbuilding and original lore of this project. isora;poetica. [ Notion ] — FFXIV poetry.
Upcoming fic projects:
Emmanellain's Spectacular Summer Shenanigans — shenanigans (Emm & Yiuno), set during Moonfire Faire 2022. I mentioned this fic to @/paintedscales to cheer them up, and we had a short convo about this in Discord. I have a rough draft of the fic sorta done, but I need to do proper editing (and possibly rewriting a few parts for better clarity) before I'm ready to post this publicly. Chronogenesis — my canon divergence longfic project that expands beyond the MSQ we know with parallel narratives, featuring Sora as the Warrior of Darkness and her mysterious mentor, Yiuno, while maintaining SE's poster boy, Meteor, as the Warrior of Light. It's subdivided into three volumes: Tales of the Unknown (following the timeline in the game expansions + patches), Tales of the Future Past (Yiuno & Yiuna's origin story, including some notable incidents in previous Umbral Calamities), and Tales of the Forgotten (Ancients era until the First Final Days, also my personal take on Emet's motivation to initiate the Rejoining). Due to the sheer complexity and depth of this project, a lot of stuff are still wips. (I'm a hopeless perfectionist /cries) Unknown Memory — canon divergence longfic sharing the same universe and continuity as Project Chronogenesis, mainly focusing on the bibliophiles (Y'shtola/Yiuno) and the bond they share that transcends time and space. Title is inspired by the Japanese light novel series, Unnamed Memory by Kuji Furumiya. Reversed Butterfly — canon divergence erotica longfic sharing the same universe and continuity as Project Chronogenesis, set in the red light district of Kugane. Mainly focusing on the complicated relationships between the shenanigans (Emm/Yiune) and temptations (Syndrei/Yiune), intoxicated with sex, politics, greed, and more. Title is based on "Sakasama no Chou" by SNoW, the first opening song for the Jigoku Shoujo anime. Chilling Adventures of Sora — FFXIV and Sabrina AU. Fate/Final Fantasy — FFXIV & Fate AU. Featuring my OCs as the Masters, and selected characters from other FF titles as Servants.
(There are actually a lot more fic projects and ideas in my Notion notes, but these are some off the top of my head at the moment.)
As for non-FFXIV fic projects:
Wings of the Midnight Sun [ Notion・AO3 ] — canon divergence longfic based on the Infinite Stratos anime adaptations only.
Please, please, do your best to support ffxiv writers. Many of us are often overlooked and underappreciated; the attention or engagement level we'd receive have never been on par with artists and gposers in this fandom, and there are obvious statistics to prove that. It's a shame that a lot of really interesting ideas and reimagines of the game's story go unnoticed, especially when these wonders are best represented through the art of writing, giving readers the creative freedom of interpretations, rather than just pure images and not allowing others any room to conjure up their own imagination.
I will also reiterate that fandoms thrive on mutual engagement between fans in the community, both creators and consumers alike, much like a conversation between people in general. When this becomes one sided, eventually more people will choose to walk away and seek connections or opportunities elsewhere. It's already happening to me, where my focus is more on original works and poetry nowadays. It's going to happen to more ffxiv writers who turn to other fandoms where they are better appreciated, or they might even quit writing completely.

Just a shameful self plug. To remind you all i have a bluesky, i don't post as often on there as Tumblr and Instagram but uh yeah! There's art on there too.
Subscribe to me on YouTube JaydoeseverythingWRONG and maybe I'll post there more often...
no guarantees because videos are a lot more effort than text posts
maybe just let me know what content might be cool to see there and I might try it…
I just want to be able to see if any of my moots have channels 😅
hi guys!! happy pride month!!
i just posted chapter 3 of anemic but not a loser, the solangelo fic where Nico faints and they discover both his fear of needles and anemia.
