#six of crows-esque is really the best way to describe olt succinctly mostly bc soc WAS the main inspo but also its not a lot like soc now

soooo.....just testing the waters, not sure what to do yet if anything, but pre-musk i was using twitter to attempt to promote my original fiction (i do that, btw, i'm not sure if i ever talked about it here), and now of course twitter is...twitter.

i took a break in november to return to tumblr instead and focus on fandom, which has been great, but i tried going back to twitter at the beginning of the month and it's...boring. aggressively curating my bubble so i don't fall into the pits of despair just makes it boring.

twitter is, unfortunately, a bit of an industry hub, but it's also dying and i'm no good at it, so i'm not exactly tempted to stay. i'm considering moving my original stuff to tumblr as well maybe?

i write primarily YA fantasy, sometimes scifi. my biggest project right now is Other Lost Things, a sort of Six of Crows-inspired story about a bunch of magical teenagers running from their various pasts who band together temporarily in order to get to safety. things go wrong (or right, depending on how you look at it) from there.

my main dilemma right now is that i can either make a new blog or sideblog for my writing and keep it separate from my main, and run the risk of it boring me/not going anywhere, or i can mix it into my main and risk annoying people who came for fandom things.

i'm still not sure if i even want to bring that work to tumblr, i'm not really a huge fan of being a writeblr, but i don't know what else to do with myself at this point. this writer thing is hard enough and now you want me to do my own marketing?? gross.

so, uh, thoughts? i'm not going to make a poll right now, just, if you made it to the end of this, consider letting me know if you'd vibe with hearing me talk about my other wips sometimes.

#wren wrambles #surprise i dont just do fanfic #idk what to tag this so i wont #six of crows-esque is really the best way to describe olt succinctly mostly bc soc WAS the main inspo but also its not a lot like soc now #aside from like broad strokes #its not even a heist yall. tho there is a prison break lmao. different circumstances #anywayyyyyyyyyyyy #fun fact if it helps #90% of my original stuff is lesbians. idk why all my fanfic is m/m and all my books are f/f but it shakes out that way #i will warn that the two mediums are VERY different for me. i know a lot of people publish their fic as actual books later but. not me. #theyre the same in some ways ofc bc its all Me #i have my favorite tropes and themes etc #but its also just. different. idk i should stop talking the difference is for another post entirely #i'm real nervous about this and idk why soo just lmk. what the vibe is
