#writerversary

[idontknowreallywhy]

It’s my second anniversary of posting my first little piece of fanfiction today.

Back then something I’d never dared do before and I was terrified. It obviously wasn’t fabulous but certain folks were so encouraging and their feedback helped me grow and improve and before long writing had become a much-needed creative outlet the like of which I’d not had in two decades (at least).

A solid 18 months of fun then I got kind of blocked and it dried up, which was frustrating, although I’ve channelled some of the writing ideas into RP so it’s not all lost.

Anyway, a slight release of tension in work life (caused by my finally crashing and burning and my boss demanding I took a little time off) and now maybe, just maybe, I might have a little bit of the writing coming back.

I digress.

I knew exactly what I wanted to finish for today and obviously I have not (even when in full flow I rarely managed to write what I was supposed to!!) But what might be happening is a long overdue resolution to Play it Out which was begun fairly early in my “emotional whump” career 😈

So I’m gonna be brave and post a little WIP snippet of Earth and Sky.

With a shiver, Virgil pulled his damp shirt away from his torso and flapped it around in a futile attempt to dry it. He frowned at the soggy patch which proved how long Scott had been sat out there trying to drown himself in sea mist.

Giving it up as a bad job, he ripped it off and dropped it into the laundry basket then rifled through his brother’s closet to pull out one of Scott’s bigger hoodies. They hung off Scott like a sack but he still insisted on wearing them occasionally so that when one was inevitably stolen, it was undeniably his… so the magic worked. They all knew he deliberately bought bigger so his stockier little brothers would be comfortable in it.

He allowed himself an affectionate smile at the sight of one of his own trademark plaid shirts hanging alongside. Scott would insist it was there in case Virgil ever happened to need it.

Virgil knew better. The magic worked both ways, it seemed.

Two Years!

It's been two years ever since I started writing on Tumblr, and while there were plenty of times I was thinking I wasn't going to be able to keep up, I'm still here!

Thank you to the readers, you keep my blog alive; the writers, who always inspire me in more ways than they know; the people who commission and tip most especially because they help me with my income; and of course, you!

If you're reading this, I'm incredibly grateful for you and what you do. You have contributed too in making me feel like a writer.

A lot of you have followed me ever since my debut fic and I couldn't be more blessed, but I'm also thankful for those who came across what I write one day and decided to stay. In either category you fall in, know that I'll always feel special because of you.

Alright, with that aside—let's look at some stats!

I have 5,828 followers as of posting this

I have 6 fics with over 1k notes

I have 21 fics for Kwon Eunbi

I have written for all 12 of the IZ*ONE members, my ults

I have 3 commissions waiting to be finished (I'll get to them!)

Thank you thank you thank you <3

ao3 year in review

original format by @athina-blaine

Top Fandom: Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure (16 works)

Date of first fic posted: 17 Sept, 2020 (let’s get married, 3,898 words) - happy anniversary me!

Top multi-chapter fic: ‘til i’m with you then, i’m with you there (69,086 words) my most recent finished fic, the one with the most words, and the one i’ve put the most effort into! it grew so much over the 11 weeks i posted it and i’ve already got more ideas in the works- i love this little universe i’ve created and all the people that have helped me cultivate it into something beautiful! ironic how my top two works in word count are both royalty related- i think i have a calling.

Top one-shot: nothing’s perfect, i’m hoping i’ll do (1, 379 words) this one got super popular out of nowhere- like i know everyone loves a good teacher au for tma but holy COW did this one go off the charts with its popularity- it’s almost my most kudos’d fic, just under 160 rn! absolutely incredible tbh, i didn’t even think it was that good when i posted it but HELL i’m proud of it now and i’m glad so many others like it too :)

Fic you’re most proud of: you’ll leave me lonely at best (4, 358 words) god this one is so good to me? idk what it is about the angst in this one but god fucking damn i’ll go back and read it whenever i need just a good solid cry like- damn what did i drink that day to make my angst charts off the shit? fuck!

Fic you wish got more attention: the water’s sweet but blood is thicker (3,305 words) i love love LOVE taako and lup’s relationship and i wanted to capture just like a little… a little bit of their sibling love — and maybe i projected hardcore with me and my sister, ya know — and i was super proud of that! i thought it was super sweet and i wish it’d gotten more love

Fic that Challenged You the Most: h2o, what a feeling! (8,351 words - unfinished) this one- idk what it is with this one, i posted the first chapter and then realized that i had no clue where i wanted to go from there. just getting the second chapter out was a beast on its own but fear not i’ve got a general plot line i want enact! i just need the motivation to start writing it again lmao

Favorite Quote/Passage:

“How could Juno not believe it? When Peter said it so easily like it was the easiest thing in the world to love Juno Steel.”

- when he calls me pretty, i feel like somebody (2,154 words)

“For now, though, he begins to walk, returning to his own world. Where the woman wearing his mother's face rules the land. Back to the birdcage. But, at the very least, Juno gets to keep this all to himself.”

- ‘til i’m with you then, i’m with you there, chapter one: you’ll love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream (69,086 words)

“There are two things different, though: The Heliz is gone and in its place sits a neatly folded piece of paper. Duke trembles as he unfolds it.

Rosie,

Thanks for the ride. Sorry, I had to take off so quickly, but I'm expected elsewhere. I'm not sorry about having to take the Heliz from you, but I expect you enjoy a challenge. Come find me if you want it that badly, will ya?

Dahlia

The handwriting is sloppy and rushed, but the words fill Duke's senses with excitement. If he hurries, he could probably stop Dahlia from leaving the hotel, hell he could probably track him down from going off-planet need be. But where's the fun in that? There's a game in store for the two of them, and Duke for one loves games. He laughs, loud and open and so very happy as he holds the note to his chest, thinking of the lovely sharpshooter who's stolen the gem from right under his nose-- twice now!

Duke thinks he's stolen something else too, but he's more than happy to let Dahlia keep that.”

- so start me up and watch me go (5,848 words)

Hello, friends! Today is my writer-versary! I wrote and published my first fanwork one year ago today. 📝❤️

In honor of this anniversary, send me an ask with a prompt from this list, and I will write a little Miraculous something for you—most likely featuring some corner of the lovesquare since I’m obsessed with these adorkable kids and can’t stop. 🐞🐾

Asks are open TODAY ONLY, July 26, 2020. One ask per person, please. I will post them on AO3 and share them here when completed.

Thank you all for celebrating with me, you beautiful people! 😘

KreweOfImp’s One-Year Writerversary

One year ago today, in the attempt to find an escape from brooding over my upcoming surgery, I wrote and posted Cumulonimbus, my first real foray into fiction. In the intervening year, I’ve written nearly half a million words which make up nine separate stories (one of which, Five Days In May, was co-written with @shennanigoats , who is one of the most amazing people I know), and three of which exceed the length of the average novel (the longest of them, Snowbound,  is as long as Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix, if that tells you anything).

My stories have been viewed 71,770 times, gotten kudos from 3366 people, been commented on more than 3000 times, bookmarked 933 times, and subscribed to 617 times. 235 people have subscribed to get notifications anytime I write anything.

I could not have begun to imagine when I opened my laptop exactly a year ago just what a profound impact it would have on my life. Writing has gotten me in touch with the creative side I didn’t think I had at all, brought me hours of joy—and okay, a fair few of frustration. I’ve interacted with people from all over the world, traveled across the country (and next week, out of the country altogether) to spend time with some of the amazing people I’ve met. I’ve had an agent from a major literary agency critique my work, and do so favorably. Someone changed their major to queer studies because of something I wrote. What I write is fiction, but the impact I've had on people is very real, and there's really no describing how that feels.

I am so incredibly proud of my body of work and so grateful to have found something that feeds my soul in a way that nothing else ever has.

I have made people laugh, made people cry, pissed them off, frustrated them, titillated them, delighted them, made them climb into their bunks, made them squee, made them think, and did I mention made them laugh (I’ve gotten quite the reputation as a humorist).

I cannot begin to put into words how much joy writing has brought into my life, and how much I cherish the incredible connections I have made with so many wonderful humans (I love you guys!).

Here’s to all the words the next year will bring. I can’t wait to see how many I’ve got in me.

Words

Adrien screwed up. He didn’t know how, but he’s sure he did. Sure, he and Marinette haven’t been married that long, but why else would she be giving him the silent treatment? Then again, maybe things aren’t as they seem.
