Happy 2024 guys!

Nothing too special on my end this year, my life is err... chaos & eh, just haven't really been feeling festive recently (lots of irl stress, so yeah, apologies for lack of Christmas and new year stuff, just... not feeling it this year, or I guess, last, lol).

I did want to do an art summary tho & felt like making one for my writing and ha, ha, yeah. That word count surprised me too ^^;

Approximately 64,896 words uploaded across 18 chapters on A03.

Also, 23 comic pages. That was this year, like I was staring at it like, no, no, that comic for 'Are We having Fun Yet' was 2022, but nope, it was May this year. Time's really gone quick :P

I am really plesently surprised with the sheer amount of progress I made on stuff this year, like I've done so much between art, writing and school. It's like I'm speed running to catch up on the 3 years I was stuck waiting for residency. OH! Exciting update on that, in July me & my family will officially be NZ perminate residences! NZ passports & citizenship here we come, lol.

Tomorrow is also my birthday, so, that's exciting too, or maybe terrifying? I don't wanna get older. One year close to taxes and paying bills > <

I don't have anything special planned, I actually think we're working _ _ ; so, maybe some art for fun or just more progress on Lost Children covers. Again, not feeling too festive, so I'm not sure if I'll make anything special for it. *shurgs* we'll see how I'm feeling tomorrow & if my wrist isn't busted, lol.

Oh! And, for fun, I also added the current, states for the three docs I'm typing Lost Children in and next year we can have fun comparing the difference.

Oki, think that's all. Nighty!

20 Questions for Writers

I was tagged by the lovely @thekristen999

-----

How many works do you have on ao3?

1173 at the moment

What's your total ao3 word count?

1,794,075 words  (I *know*... where did that come from?)  I have a bunch of older fic on Live Journal and Dreamwidth that I keep meaning to move over for completeness but never take the time to do the work. So there's more out there...

What fandoms do you write for?

I mostly write for: Stargate Atlantis and SG-1, Harry Potter, Teen Wolf, 9-1-1. My dashboard says I have 23 fic in Shadowhunters but that's misleading because I borrowed Magnus and Alec for a Teen Wolf fic.

Top five fics by kudos:

The Wedding Planner

Forced Bonding

Breaking Point

What You Ask For

Broken Pack Bonds

Huh. All Teen Wolf fic... interesting

Do you respond to comments?

Not as well as I should... meep! (And I'm sorry if I owe you a response to something!)

What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I know there's something out there... Embrace the Silence - an SGA fic for an 'apocalypse' fest where I killed almost everyone off!

What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Writing happy endings is my goal; there are mostly happy endings out there.  Not sure I could pick which one has the happiest ending.  

Do you get hate on fics?

Not really. I get an occasional snippy comment about something nitpicky or a choice I made that the commenter didn't like.

Do you write smut?

Actually, not as much as I used to... LOL...

Craziest crossover:

For the "Into a bar..." fest, I wrote a Stargate SG-1 and Check, Please crossover.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

There was a 'thing' a while ago where someone stole hundreds of fic and tried to pass them off on Amazon. One of mine got scooped up but it was quickly taken down.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Lots of times. I have open permission for translations in my profile. But most stop by and ask.

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Not really

All time favourite ship?

Oh, man. That's hard. I love my boys... I'm going to go back to John Sheppard/Rodney McKay in Stargate Atlantis. My first love.

What's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

A Disturbance in the Force - set up as a series and a crossover between Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, and 9-1-1.

What are your writing strengths?

I think I'm decent at dialog. And writing short. I've written lots and lots of drabbles in the past few years.

What are your writing weaknesses?

Descriptions. I don't always add the cues for what the setting of the story is.

Thoughts on dialogue in another language?

I borrow foreign words for 'alien' words but rarely use dialog in another language because I know I'm not good at it.

First fandom you wrote in?

Stargate SG-1

Favorite fic you've written?

In Plain Sight, which is listed as a series but I was filling daily prompts for an AU fest. It's a Harry Potter story that I was very pleased with.

Hey everyone! I saw that everyone was doing their art summaries and thought it would be fun to do my own writing summary. I put all my thoughts in the read below.

This year was a lot of experimentation with genres and branching out to new things I haven’t written before. Though I mostly stayed in the Ace Attorney fandom, I did post some things for Zero Escape and Fire Emblem throughout the year.

I’ll be linking a fic from each month I'd like to highlight. I did write more than this, but once again, this is a summary. Please feel free to check some of these out.

January: One Sweet Bullet, A Second Chance- The first take on a mafia/yakuza au. Though it ultimately worked better as a short story, this AU was fun and I’d like to explore it again one day.

February: Healing Melody- My first Zero Escape story. Everyone was really kind about my effort and it was really encouraging.

March: Arusutoromeria- The first minibang I completed along with finding a passion for hanakotoba. It was a fun siblings story and I learned a ton about Japan’s festival culture.

April: Tension- I actually meant to do this story in 2021, but I got to it this year. It was still incredibly fun to do and one of the first times I wrote something based on an animation.

May: Layers Upon Layers- This one was hard to choose since this month had a lot of really ambitious concepts including a bad ending fic, a snippet of a scene based on someone else’s au, but this one was based on a headcanon I grew really attached to so I wanted to highlight this one.

June: The Shape of Water- A folklore AU that was really fun to write. It was actually my first susahao fic, too.

July: Flow- This story was actually one of my favorites I wrote this year. It had a lot of the tropes I loved. I actually expanded on this world quite a bit. I would love to do more with this one in the future too.

August: Five Chances, One Reciprocation- One of the first stories I used a staple trope for (5+1), It was a fun exploration of one of the tropes I do actually like a lot.

September: Kiss Challenge- This was the first time I did a challenge and will probably be the last. Though it was good to get some extra experience for kissing and it’s a lot more natural to write now, I figured it out by day ten. It was still fun to explore new ships I hadn’t written before and those I hadn’t written in a long time.

October: Resentment- This story was a trade that was in progress the entire year. It had changed a lot from the basic plot and ended up evolving into this really neat story. I’m proud of it.

November: Five Excuses, One Confession- My first Narumitsu fic in years. It was a fun take on the no DL-6 AU.

December: For Comfort- This was for the Throughout the Year Winter Exchange and as I worked on it, the idea really grew on me. It was a writing style to help expand on world building.

There was more I wrote, but I just wanted to highlight what was completed. I ran a winter exchange, got into a zine, and am also running my own zine. If you want to follow my zine, check out @blossominglovezine​!

I’m going to be honest. A lot of really bad things happened this year in my real life. Writing is one of the things I feel actually went well. I wanted to thank you for all the support. It really kept my head above water.

I have big things planned for 2023. Hope to see you all there! Take care.
