hey so feel free to ignore this, but i was wondering if you had any advice for newish writers? for context, i’ve only written a couple like 2,000-ish word things, but i’m taking on writing a script for a big project of mine, and i’m not sure how to go about it?

how much do you plan ahead before you start writing? do you have an in depth outline with every plot point or do you just have a broad overview and see where it takes you?

ohhh that's a tough question.... i've never had any formal writing instruction (outside of english classes in school) so most of my ability just comes from having been reading and writing a lot my whole life just for fun haha, which is great and all but makes it hard to think of advice beyond just "do it a lot".

though i do also recommend reading, i swear i got 50% better at writing by accident just because i got back into reading and subconsciously picked up on stuff i liked or didn't like in the books i was consuming. especially when it comes to writing a script, i'm sure reading other work in that format would be helpful.

as for planning... it does depend on the story, but my outlines tend to just basically be a chronological bullet point list of everything i've thought of for the story, especially the major beats.

i try to at least have a plan for what every scene is going to be before i start writing a one shot or a chapter, even if that plan is just a single line, and then i tend to flesh out the outline as i think of more things. i don't think there's anything wrong with not having a 100% finished outline before you start writing the story. write down the base ideas, then flesh them out as you keep writing/thinking of things.

idk if you've read my childhood friends fic constellations, but it's the only one i have an outline on hand for lol (because i delete my outlines after i finish writing a story, alas) so here's an example of my outline from ch6 of constellations:

so yeah, not very professional but gets the job done :"D

i guess something that's notable is that i tend to write the *purpose* of a scene in my outlines. like, going into writing this chapter, i didn't plan "okay so a bunch of chorus girls are gonna see peter and start whispering about how they don't recognize him, then go up and ask his name/who he is bc they have a crush, and he'll get nervous thus prompting annie to step in and tell them he's her brother". i wrote "annie calls nureyev her brother". because the lead up to that didn't really matter and could have happened any way that i came up with while writing, the base POINT of the scene was to establish how annie now sees their relationship and that peter knows she sees it that way. that was what was important to me to have planned.

and i do think every scene should have a purpose! that's something i've learned over time. even with longform stuff, every single scene should serve a purpose to the narrative, even if that purpose is just to show character development or to give the audience a breather/a false sense of security before an intense moment. often they can serve multiple purposes! something really fun to do is trick the readers by including a moment that they think is only relevant on an emotional level, but--surprise!--is gonna be relevant on a plot level later. if you just shove a chekhov's gun into a scene, people are gonna be like "what's that doing there" and expect it to come into play later, but if you disguise it as just being for the purpose of character development then they might not notice it.

in general: set up and pay off good. if you set something up, you should probably pay it off. if you make a big moment happen, you have to have set it up. i know that seems simple but it's something that took me an embarrassingly long time to learn as a writer lol, and it's important for both big plot stuff and little character stuff.

themes are good. parallels are good. motifs are good. is there a way you can connect a scene at the end of the story to one at the beginning? have a character repeat the same thing they did in scene 1 but this time it takes on a different, deeper meaning. have a character be unable to catch their friend before they fall off a garden wall while playing in scene 2 that's passed off as a silly moment, then have them be unable to catch said friend again in scene 19 but this time their friend is falling from a radio tower. do it. be evil. people will be like "OHHH SHIT" and have the entire first section of the story be recontextualized for them upon reread.

uhhh what else... voices?? especially for a script, since they're dialogue-only, giving each character a unique voice is super important. i have it easy with this bc i usually only write fic and the characters in TPP have super unique voices to begin with that i can just copy, but i still think it's v important. if you can change which character says a line without changing the line at all and it still sounds right/in character for them, their voices probably aren't unique enough. that's not to say that every character should talk like a cartoon or smth, but i think it's helpful for them to each have their own recognizable vibe. (and a good shorthand for this can be changing how each character refers to others--by first name, by last name, by nicknames, with mocking endearments or with honorifics?)

that's pretty much all i can think of rn and i'm not sure any of it is useful at all but there you go aisfhuiasfh. and tbh i just appreciate that you respect my opinion enough on this subject to reach out haha!

#asks #anonymous #i do not really feel qualified to talk about this but i had fun lol

Rules

Thought I might come up with some rules for my writing on this blog

Please read my Carrd!

There’s also some general stuff at the end 👉🏻👈🏻

General Requests (open atm)

I won’t write any nsfw stuff on this blog, but I do have a nsfw blog in the making. When I announce that, feel free to send nsfw requests after reading my rules over there.

I try to write underage characters aged up if the prompt is a romantic one but sometimes I honestly forget.

I won’t write incest, rape, or other similar, triggering topics.

I will write for a ship if I really like it or the prompt, but I won’t write for a ship I don’t enjoy just bc someone asked for it. Try to stick with platonic or x reader stuff. you can always ask me about the ship first ^v^

I can write most characters but there are some I just don’t know much about/don’t like as much. Some of those character I don’t write often are:

Most of La Squadra, excluding Risotto

Pucci

Valentine

Most of the minor SDC or DIU enemies, just because I don’t remember them well if they were only in one episode

I haven’t read all of part 8 yet, so any characters from that (parts 6 and 7 are fine tho)

If they’re not on that list, I’ll try my best to write and keep them in character, but no promises.

I don’t write yandere fics. I’m good with protectiveness, jealousy, etc, but I’m not into yanderes if thats not how the character would typically act (i.e.,Yukako).

If the scenario includes a mental disorder or other illness that’s p obscure, I’d appreciate if you gave me some of the symptoms and such so I can portray it as best as I can.

The most characters I’ll write for a specific scenario/hcs is 7. So I will write all of the Bucci gang, and the JoJos, parts 1-7. If you ask for more than that, I’m just gonna choose some.

Matchups (Currently Closed)

PLEASE include:

your preferred pronouns

sexuality or the gender of the character you wanna be matched with

a few hobbies

something about how you act with friends

parts that you want characters from (I haven’t read part 8, but 1-7 are good with me!)

I don’t really take your appearance or star sign into consideration, so you can send those if you want but it probably won’t change anything tbh.

I will only match you with three characters at most.

And please make it clear if you want multiple matchups or if you want me to choose one person from multiple parts. I get confused easily :,)

Other

Feel free to send me confessions about characters or shows, just keep ‘em sfw on this blog!

I always love talking to people online, so don’t be afraid to come off anon, talk to me in my replies, or dm me about an idea! I promise I’m a nice person, and I’m on discord at laneuwu#3369

If theres something you’re not sure about or that I haven’t mentioned here, just ask about it. I don’t bite. Usually.

I try to write pretty gender neutral, but sometimes I forget and just default to afab. I’m always open to write other genders, just specify it in the request!

Matchups normally take me a while to get to, at least a day or so, so don’t get disheartened if I don’t answer right away. Other asks might take an hour to a few days to answer, it just depends/

Thanks for looking at my blog! <3

Requests Closed

Okay so requests are open again! I couldn’t find a prompt list I liked so I made one of my own! A few rules here before the prompts (which will be under the cut):

A) Please follow our general rules, you know what kind of stuff we write and what kind of stuff we don’t write.

B) Please send the requests with the number of the prompt and the svt member! Also if you want it to be angst, please say so bc otherwise I’m going fluff.

C) Please only send one request per ask. It gets confusing to me when there’s multiple in one, so if you want to send more than one request, please use multiple asks!

D) We are still on hiatus, so the requests won’t be posted until that hiatus ends. So I guess if you want to be told when your request is up, please send the ask not on anon. Otherwise I guess I have no way to let you know that it’s posted.

Thank you, and I can’t wait to see what we come up with! 💛💚

Prompts:

“Can I join you?”

“You made your choice.”

“Where are you going?”

“Come with me.”

“I’m worried about you.”

“They didn’t deserve you.”

“Are you listening to me?”

“I haven’t seen you in a few days.”

“You know, you can stay if you want.”

“I almost feel bad for you.”

“You’re not helping.”

“You don’t have to act like you’re okay.”

“Don’t you think you’ve done enough?”

“I brought you dinner.”

“I don’t like you... I love you.”

“What are you doing here?”

“I never meant to fall in love with you, I just did.”

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

“You’re the only person I wanted to be with tonight.”

“Shhh... You need to be quiet.”

“You don’t even know me.”

“I don’t know what I’m supposed to do now that you’re not here.”

“Don’t- Don’t you remember me?”

“Okay, repeat after me-”

“Is it time yet?”

“How much did you drink?”

“I asked if you were having a party, I didn’t tell you to have a party.”

“This is the opposite of what I told you to do.”

“Well it’s the thought that counts.”

“Wait, no, don’t take kissing away from me.”

“Oh, you’ve started stealing my socks now?”

“Yeah, okay, but I’m cooler.”

“How did you get in here?”

“How did you fair a survey?”

“That’s not even fair.”

“Did I ever tell you how beautiful your eyes are?”

“Why the hell is there glitter everywhere?”

“Well, I’m pretty irresistible.”

“How much money would you give me to flip this table, right here, right now, in the middle of class?”

“Detention? Again?”

“Don’t lie to me.”

“I swear, if you say another word, I’ll leave.”

“Why do you keep bringing it up?”

“Why are you like this?”

“Maybe in another world.”

“Don’t say that.”

“Please don’t cry.”

“Why are you awake right now?”

“Is that blood?” “...No.”

“Are you hurt?” “No.” “Then why are there bruises all over your face?”

“If you don’t hug me right now, I might fall apart.”

“Is there a reason you’re blushing like that?”

“OH you’re jealous.”

“Are we on a date right now?”

“He’s so pretty I think I’m gonna faint.”

“Sharing is caring, now give me the hoodie!”

“If I die, I’m haunting you first.”

“This isn’t goodbye.”

“I care about you.”

“You could have warned me!”

“That was unexpected.”

“Wanna go grab a drink?”

“Dance with me.”

“Who cares about what they think?”

“That’s not gonna happen.”

“Why me?”

“You’re worth it.”

“You’re so adorable.”

“You’re more than that.”

“Can’t you stay a little longer?”

“What are you smiling about?”

“Can this wait until tomorrow?”

Thank you for requesting! See you guys soon!

1, 4, 11 & 17?

writer’s ask meme (what do you mean i’m procrastinating writing)

1. describe the plot of your current WIPs in a single sentence each.

this is without my word docs, google drive notes, or random notes in my notes app.

are_you_sure_about_that.gif

so i’m going to narrow it down to “stuff that can be published relatively soon”

luxury of stars (working title): logan really needs some hugs, patton tries his best to give them to him, and slowburn ensues (if it sounds familiar, i’ve teased this one before; it was going to be my big bang fic before i dropped the challenge this year, partially bc of wyliwf and partially bc this thing is going to be A Monster)

untitled prompt fic: analogical “the guy who didn’t like musicals” au

and the world makes sense a little more: my take on that whole when-you-meet-your-soulmate-you-develop-the-ability-to-see-color au, though it isn’t quite as clear-cut as all that; prinxiety-centric, title from “red” by carrie manolakos

burn another page: high school dorks logan and virgil attend a punk concert, and patton saves them when a mosh pit goes wrong (based on my first punk concert experience actually)

sideshire files specific area:

the black parade: virgil’s reaction to the mcr reunion within the wyliwf!verse

the (potential) stepmother: a stranger walks into patton’s office and tells him a number of secrets, and patton really tries his best to keep them all.

rivalry: how deceit and logan became better friends

with all your heart: patton graduates from community college and everyone cries

graduate/valedictorian: logan graduates from high school and everyone cries (still deliberating if i want this to be a multichap or not, hence the multiple titles)

love light gleams: it’s logan’s first christmas, and virgil doesn’t want to let them spend it alone; the trouble is, virgil’s family is a lot less subtle about it than he is. (hopefully, i’ll post this on christmas!)

4: what are some of your favorite tropes?

friends to lovers, childhood friends to lovers, “oh no there’s only one bed,” fake dating, slowburns, magic aus, coffeshop aus, domestic fluff in general, hurt/comfort, reincarnation aus, probably tons more that i’m forgetting

11: share the last paragraph you wrote.

from the (potential) stepmother:

“hey,” patton says.

“uh,” virgil says. “i’m on my way home, is everything okay?”

“um, no, no, not really,” patton babbles. “i’m in litchfield.”

a long pause. then:

“you’re what,” virgil says.

“i’m in litchfield,” patton repeats. “i’m filling up my car with gas, because i’ve been driving for, like, ever, so i needed to make a stop in litchfield, and also i kept overthinking while i was driving and i needed to get someone else’s opinion and i needed to take a breather because if i didn’t i was gonna lose it even more than i’ve already lost it, so. litchfield.”

(i know this is more than a paragraph but i thought the added lines above added a bit of context)

17: how far along are you in your current WIP? how long have you been working on it?

see above list of wips and that i cannot focus on one at a time to save my goddamn life; the one i’ve been working on longest is, i’d say, luxury of stars? i started working on it to the point that it’s the second-oldest draft in my tumblr files. i can’t pin down an exact starting date but i’d definitely say…. early 2018? march of 2018, maybe?

(went back and edited bc i just now realized that it’s asking how far along i am) i sketched out 10 chapters, though i’m thinking i’m gonna go back and divide that up even more; i’m writing it a smidge out of order, so i’d say i’m about.... hm, 3-4 chapters in? and it’s apparently 68,975 words right now.

or, at least, let me put it this way. you know how i thought wyliwf was going to be a bullet-list fic, and it ended up 150k words?

this is the one i thought was going to be 150k words.

500 FOLLOWER CELEBRATION

so! very soon i will be hitting FIVE HUNDRED FOLLOWERS. (right now i’m at 436, and i tend to get 5+ with every update and sometimes a few in-between.) i can't thank you guys enough for this - your faith in me while i am still such a new comic is humbling and inspiring, and i hope i can draw you a story worth the wait. thank you so, so much.

i promised awhile back i'd do something nifty for 500, and since i'm doing it for you guys, i thought i'd let you pick the event!

the three ideas i had were:

a request stream. downside: since i'm a slow artist, i wouldn't get to very many, and not everybody wants to make a twitch account. but maybe i could just sketch the request in stream, and throw some doodle-style lines/colors on it later :D upside: many "winners" so to speak, as long as they were willing to make a twitch account, especially if i did a stream as long as my usual thursday ones (which are usually 6-8 hours). in addition, these prizes would be awarded almost INSTANTLY, whereas any prizes from a giveaway (see below...) might take me some time to complete, especially if there’s a lot of winners.

temporary ask blog. for a to-be-determined period of time or number of asks, this blog would temporarily become an ask blog, and you could ask the characters of REFUSE anything you liked! of course i wouldn’t be able to spoil anything about the plot directly or get to every ask, but ask blogs have always looked like a lot of fun to me (but something i don’t have time for...) so i think it’d be pretty neat. downside: my plot hasn’t advanced too far yet, but upside: it’s got some really heavy backstory that clever questions might dole out some hints for.

a giveaway, probably with a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winner. kudos to @bunnikkila for helping me brainstorm some of these potential prize ideas:

an undertale fanmix - considering the ~700 mixes i have sitting on my hard drive, that'd be pretty easy. i could do a themed one (examples: 1 2 3) or a one-track mix (multiple remixes of the same track - examples: 1 2 3). these would come complete with the very simple “sprite art” you see as these covers.

a custom undertale human child sprite (examples: 1 2 3) (i can’t do teens/adults, sadly, since i need a base to work off of) or other sprite manipulation (examples: 1 2). i can’t make a sprite from scratch but i could alter any sprite in the game!

a sketch/doodle/scribble thing of any undertale character(s), including OCs (examples: 1 2)

a physical copy of a sketch/drawing of any undertale character or OC. i don’t have the means to color art traditionally, so it would be without color, but i would mail it to your house! (this assuming you don’t mind giving me your address)

i could color your lines - i do collabs with friends, and what happens is they draw the lines and i pour on the colors/shading and sometimes the background as well. (examples: 1 2) so if you’re the type who likes drawing but not coloring, i could color one for you! upside: i could do this for literally any drawing, not just undertale-related stuff.

a full illustration of any undertale-related thing, whether you want scenery or a poster or whatever (examples: 1 2 3 4 5)

fic! i am a writer and have TONS more writing experience than drawing experience. only problem is i'm a little picky about what prompts i'd accept, so i don't know if that would make it too much of a hassle to be a good prize. i’d definitely be willing to chat it out with whoever won, though. if you’d like check out my writing to see an example, my AO3 is here, but unfortunately i don’t have any undertale fic up and some of what’s at this link is VERY NSFW, so minors, please skip it!

a little 1-3 pg minicomic (if that was the case, this would probably have to be the ONLY prize, bc i'm already really really busy and it would take quite a bit of time - no example needed here, you guys already know what my comic pages look like lol)

a cameo in the comic with the character of your choice, be it your original character or a character from another work. if i did this though i would be very tricky - for instance there could be no humans, because this entire story takes place before the monsters meet them. also, i probably won’t get to any random bg characters for quite awhile so the prize-winner would have a long wait lol

another possibility is dividing ALL of these prizes up into tiers and letting the winner choose their own prize from the list (first place winner can choose an illustration OR getting their lines colored, second place winner could choose a doodle OR a sprite, etc), the upside to tiers is i could offer more extravagant prizes and more winners for more notes - should the giveaway post only get a few, i’d be okay doing simple prizes, but if there was a lot of interest i could potentially offer something like the mini-comic ALONGSIDE other prizes. i actually like this idea quite a lot (along with the idea of getting your name put in the proverbial jar more times for doing things like reccing the comic or drawing art for it), but i’m worried that it might be needlessly complicated or confuse someone and lol i don’t want to be confusing!!

anyway, since this is for YOU GUYS, i’ve decided to set up two polls to let all of you decide - one to say whether you’d prefer a request stream, an ask blog, or a giveaway, and another to see what types of giveaway prizes everyone likes the best (you can choose multiple answers for this one, otherwise everyone would easily pick a nicer prize over the little ones hahaha). these will stay open until a day or so after we hit 500 followers - which could be a few weeks from now - so you should have PLENTY of time to mull it over and make your choices. i’ll warn you before they close. (or you could speed it up by reblogging more comic pages >D after all, the more people who see it the more likely i am to get new followers!)

final last note: whatever i wind up doing for the giveaway, my basic rules are: AUs, undertale OCs, gore, canon ships = OK! non-canon ships, character-bashing (this includes yandere murder-loving chara), NSFW, or frisk and chara as boys or girls = NOT OK. also, of course, only followers would be eligible to win! just stuff to keep in mind when you’re voting.

thanks again to everyone! i’m excited to see what you decide!

A Summary of My Fics in 2018

I found this post lying around and apparently I forgot to post it two weeks ago at the New Year’s when I first made it, so. Here’s a list of the fics I wrote in 2018, with some musings etc.

** = Personal favorite.

# = I wish it had more comments.

Animorphs

on a night like this one (1952 words)--A Cassie/Rachel fic written for the Smut Exchange in April, so not a whole lot of plot! I was inspired by a prompt asking for Cassie as the gentle dom, which seemed like such an interesting concept.

falcon falcon, burning bright (2264 words)--Written for Bad Things Happen Bingo in June, a fic about Visser Three capturing Jake. The square I wrote it for was “The Collector”.

Whales and Dolphins and Humans and Yeerks (1416 words)--A Cassie/Aftran fic. Written on one of those probably-too-frequent occasions I opened for femslash prompts. I’d kind of always wanted to write some Caftran? But never got around to it bc I have too many damn fandoms. (...fandamns.)

Avatar: The Last Airbender

...wow, I wrote six fics for this fandom this year. Guess it was more of an ATLA year than I thought.

Largely bc of keircatenation, btw, who sent me a couple very nice prompts.

Kyoshi Wood (This Bird Has Flown) (1726 words)--Dysfunctional Tyzula fic, the first ATLA fic I have ever posted on AO3 (...though I have in the past posted a number on ff.net). Written because I listened to the song “Norwegian Wood” and instantly thought, “Welp, that’s a Tyzula vibe.” The first ATLA fic I wrote this year and it was already July...guess my ATLA content has been all in the past five months.

** every feudal lord needs a loyal handmaiden (13883 words)--Moooore Tyzula! This fic was for the Femslash After Dark Exchange in July which should make it more smutty than it is! But I figure the mature rating is justified by the various dark goings-on. Anyways, this is basically me writing the political intrigue Tyzula fic of my dreams, which is how it got so damn long. I’m quite happy with it.

a snow fight (1660 words)--...and I’m not happy with this one! I was prompted “No holds barred beatdown” for Zuko in Bad Things Happen Bingo and I tried my best but I think I just wasn’t in the right headspace. Came out kind of eh.

changing, losing, staying (3906 words)--Written when I opened for femslash prompts and received the prompt "'I can't afford to lose you too' + Suki/Ty Lee". Postcanon, pretty chill, longer than I expected it to be by the time I was done.

** because it would be a waste (1891 words)--Brief Azutara fic for the prompt of "Azula/Katara, set in a Bad Future AU where Azula is Fire Lord and Katara is her Favorite Prisoner." Written in November.

A Diplomatic Mission and Its Results (2483 words)--I was prompted diplomacy and Suki/Sokka/Toph for some poly event and I did my best! Never really thought about this ship before.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine (TV)

** Mhaacta Made Them Do It (3631 words)--Amy/Rosa treat for the Femslash After Dark Exchange, featuring ritual sex and an ELDRITCH ABOMINATION. ...technically a case fic.

Caper Court - Caro Fraser

the pupil of dover court (1543 words)-- I found this book series thru the Yuletide Exchange but only had time (...well, access, really) to read the first book. But I quite liked it and wrote a treat for the person requesting it for the exchange.

Catherine (Web Series)

there's something about catherine (1299 words)-- Another fandom I found through the Yuletide Exchange! This requester wanted some Lynchian Normcore femslash so I did my best to provide. Very easy fandom to get into, btw, webseries is less than an hour long.

Disney

** Amor Vincit Omnia (3231 words)--Maleficent/Philip Stockholm Syndrome fic, written as a treat for the Chocolate Box Exchange.

No one will hurt you (1166 words)--Inspired by a short comic by @disneyfemslashcomics, a Mulan/Jasmine fic featuring hurt/comfort and a nonbinary Mulan.

** # Old and stolen texts (2635 words)--A Belleficent fic I wrote bc idk I like Maleficent and I like Belle and the two seemed like a good ship for Stockholm Syndrome and, obviously, beauty and the beast scenarios. Quite proud of this one :)

Dollhouse

I wrote five fics for this fandom this year but I still think I kind of cooled on it. For one thing, two of those fics were assigned for exchanges--for another, last year, with little to no incentive of that kind, I wrote seven. Still had a good time this year tho.

Also, all of them were pretty dark! We’re not surprised.

** i'll take your mind (to kick around as a toy) (3095 words)--Adelle/Echo fic written for the Trope Bingo Challenge, for a square of “in another man’s shoes”. Longer than I had remembered!

Orientation (3881 words)--Possibly my darkest fic of the year, but I’m sure it’s debatable. Blatant rape/non-con between Bennett Halverson and Caroline Farrell, written for the Nonconathon Exchange.

taking turns (2008 words)--Lighter in the sense that it’s melancholy rather than dark as hell. A Claire and Topher fic written for the Remix Revival event, remixing a fic I greatly enjoyed.

# january to december, do you want to be a member? (1338 words)--Adelle/Echo fic where Adelle uses Echo as a doll. Kind of a filler fic, I’d always wanted to play with the idea but couldn’t get super into it. Ehh.

# someone to watch over me (1217 words)--Claire-centered fic with not a whole ton of plot. Again, kind of a filler fic. This is one reason I have to say I was not so into this fandom this year--2/5 fics being filler isn’t a great ratio.

Egil Saga - Faun (Music Video)

No man shall scratch runes. (1273 words)--Written as a treat for the Yuletide Exchange. H/C and some very basic worldbuilding for a weird, surreal music video. Not much else to say. Debatably femslash.

Flesh and Bone (TV)

Danseuse and Partner (1172 words)-- I got paired with someone for the Chocolate Box Exchange who requested soft and fluffy fic for Cassie/Jake, but at that time I had no fluffy Animorph feelings so I binge-watched this miniseries so I could fill their other request, which was domestic, relatively functional incest fic. Idk if I succeeded, it was an interesting prompt but I didn’t ship it. I was more vibing with the series’ femslash potential. But I never got around to writing for that.

Gattaca (1997)

Gattaca fandom, I swear I still love you! I’m just less depressed this year! Which, to be honest, IS A GOOD THING! but not very conducive to the kind of Gattaca fic I used to write lols.

** Peppermint and Vanilla (1492 words)--H/C Eugne & Vincent fic written when @trifoyle prompted me the title. I’m quite happy with it.

Of Physicists and Janitors (35780 words)-- I only wrote like a chapter of this in 2018. God. I really need to finish this. Also AO3 thinks I wrote the whole thing this year which just is not true.

Allergies (2374 words)-- Fic I started like two years ago and only finished now. Mostly Vincent-centric. Again, inspired by conversation with @trifoyle

Gravity Falls

The Pink Streak (1644 words)-- Wendy/Pacifica fic written as a treat for the Chocolate Box Exchange.

Grease (1978)

beauty queen, my best girl (1018 words)-- Frenchy/Sandy fic, written as a treat for the Chocolate Box Exchange.

Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald

** A Mistress's Mistress (2178 words)-- Jordan/Myrtle fic written as a treat for the Chocolate Box Exchange. Because Myrtle deserves better, okay?

** Santa Barbara (2691 words)-- Pre-canon Jordan/Daisy fic written for a prompt of "Jordan manipulating Daisy (and Daisy kind of going along with it)." Probably my favorite Jordaisy fic I’ve written to date.

Careless Wanderers (2380 words)-- Post-canon Jordan/Daisy fic written for Trope Bingo for the “Road Trip” square.

White Lies of a Colored Past (1820 words)-- About two years ago I wrote down the idea of Gatsby incorporating Nick into his shady, multiple-choice backstory. And then this year I finally wrote it. ...probably would have been better two years ago but I don’t not like it.

** for children's consumption (3143 words)-- Someone prompted me Nick Carraway and abuse/neglect for Bad Things Happen Bingo, and I wrote this odd little gen fic drawing parallels between his past and Pammy’s present. I’m quite pleased with it.

the dawn of another summer (443 words)-- Fic found in a deleted text file. Jordaisy.

the kind of choices you make at midnight (436 words)-- Fic found in a deleted text file. Jordaisy.

Greek and Roman Mythology

Messenger of the Atreides (2035 words)-- I wrote this as a pinch hit for the Chocolate Box Exchange. Shipping Odysseus/Achilles from the Iliad. The vaguest smut I ever did write.

Hannibal (TV)

** # A similar confusion (4036 words)--Weird Gideon & Will fic bc having watched Hannibal, I really just wanted someone to be nice to Will who wasn’t Hannibal bc oh geez.

Harlots (TV)

girl in black and white (451 words)-- Short little ficlet I wrote for fuckthegods for the TV Exchange. Fuckthegods left tumblr... I’m really sad.

There is no one higher (2300 words)-- Caroline/Charlotte fic, would be PWP if I went harder on the actual smut.

Heathers

Right Answers (1667 words)-- Chansaw fic for the Femslash Exchange. Probably should have been longer but I overbooked myself this season and for once didn’t have the time.

doing an old friend a favor (2080 words)-- Someone requested Veronica/McNamara with a JESSICA JONES NOIR AU for Yuletide so of course I had to treat that shit.

How to Get Away with Murder

I wrote six whole fics for this fandom and still never wrote shippy stuff for my OTP. I NEED TO GET AROUND TO THAT. Also all my fics were relatively short and I should get on that. But this fandom doesn’t comment a whole lot and none of my friends are in it so it’s hard to motivate...

** your sweetheart psychopathic crush (2148 words)-- My first fic in this fandom, darkish Lilabecca bc of course I had to start with dark femslash.

five ways of looking at a homicide (1950 words)-- Asher POV finding out about all the shit that went down with the original Keating murder.

exam grade (1174 words)-- Annalise being concerned about Wes.

# warm water (1353 words)-- Angsty Bonnalise bath sex. Written for the Annual Femslash Kinkmeme.

this is nice but also that is a murder bed (1062 words)-- And a random Connor/Wes fic appears.

Hungry Daughters of Starving Mothers - Alyssa Wong

# the street's a liar (2411 words)--Honestly this fic (written for Dark Femslash Week) is pretty good and I would write more fic for this fandom if it wasn’t two ppl and a shoelace.

I reincarnated into an otome game as a villainess with only destruction flags

Villainesses Must Stick Together (2950 words)-- Written as a treat for the Yuletide Exchange. The rare diary format fic! Multiple realities interacting and some very mild selfcest!

Inception (2010)

** Fortifier (3512 words)-- Saito/Cobb fic written as a treat for the Chocolate Box exchange, with Saito as Cobb’s employer but also veering close to sugar daddy. I’m actually pretty happy with this.

Jessica Jones (TV)

Nothing Neat or Nice (2484 words)-- Hogarth/Jessica, plotless infidelity.

Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (TV)

gentleman's homecoming (1543 words)-- Lazy Grant/Jonathan fic mostly written to get my feet wet in the fandom.

** the husband in the tower (3787 words)--Arabella rescues Jonathan! Basically the fic I wanted to be the canon ending! But also written for my assignment for Yuletide! So we know other ppl wanted it too.

** Empty Houses Need to Be Filled (3804 words)-- Written as a Yuletide treat, an Emma/Arabella post-canon recovery fic.

Marco Polo (TV)

Eleven fics for this fandom this year! Why, that’s quite a few! This is entirely bc of fuckthegods who a) sent me a lot of prompts for femslash and one for gen and b) just in general is my Marco Polo muse, inspires me to write fics I wouldn’t otherwise write. And now she’s gone off to Dreamwidth and I am honestly so sad but anyways.

Also, I’m not gonna tag any of these as “could use more comments” bc Marco Polo is such a damn small fandom but. That is true for basically all of these.

And I would walk five hundred miles (2514 words)-- Jing Fei/Mei Lin fic where Jing Fei survives and the two are reunited.

** Make me feel missed (2157 words)--Sequel to above, this time THERE’S SMUT.

Tell me the truth. (1941 words)-- Angsty Daraoulga, prompted.

...why does it feel like I didn’t write that much POTO fic? Maybe bc proportionally it’s less than in other years. But this year I wrote more fic in general, so of course the proportions have shifted.
