1. Tell us about your current project(s) – what’s it about, how’s progress, what do you love most about it?
i have !! literally 6 blaseball wips going so here’s this info for two of them:
my big long term project is a fic abt tom kirby and the other ambushed players! this one is going ok it has kind of a lot going on so i need to sit down and do some more outlining before i really go at it (sadly this means i’ll have to do my least favorite activity: reading the wiki). i’m excited about it tho!! it’s got a lot of characters and dynamics that i’m really looking forward to writing i think people will like it when it’s done
the other fic i’m willing to talk abt is a thing about rivers rosa getting feedbacked this one is the thing i have the most words down on and it’s going GREAT this fic is gonna fucking rule. i am having just the best time working on it. the part i like the most about it rn is the structure of the fic which i’m not willing to give away lol just take my word for it it’s cool
beyond these two i have two shortish things i plan on posting publicly, one short thing that i’m gonna pass around but not put on ao3, and one short thing that’s just for me just bc i want it to exist. all of these are going… fine? some sticking points here and there but they’re aight. the one that’s not going on ao3 is going p well actually i’m gonna try to write the rest of it tonight and tomorrow
4. Share a sentence or paragraph from your writing that you’re really proud of (explain why, if you like)
i’m really proud of my kranch fic in general but one of my favorite parts is this bit from the backstory for his affair:
“Kranch hadn’t known what to do about it. Then, he watched two flickery teenagers explode into static and noise in the middle of a game, and he knew exactly what to do about it.”
like i love the phrasing and the way these sentences sound but also!! not to be pretentious and analytical abt my own work but i think this is a fun characterization for kranch in terms of. he is impulsive and callous and someone who takes being exposed to horror shit harder than he lets on. i’m proud of this little section as a way to convey that
and also just. it being the moment where i tip my hand and reveal that this guy is a total jackass. and obv i knew that going in kranch was always gonna be awful and selfish but the act of giving that away slowly and then all at once. so fun. and i love how it turned out
