16 is the star of the Ashla gala arc! Oooo you're in for some fun stuff 🤭

Chapter 22 of What it Becomes, up now. archiveofourown.org/works/667733...

No! Brain! Stop it! I already have a longfic WIP plus two events coming up, I do not need to rework an old story that didn't quite work for a different fandom! Cut it out!

This is what private bookmarks are forrrrr ugh. If you need to do it at all, that is. we've truly lost the old ways of fandom etiquette 🙄

Lots in the news lately about Kylo Ren, Ben Solo and the Knights of Ren.

I’m fortunate to have written several stories on those subjects:

THE RISE OF KYLO REN (young Ben Solo; lots of KoR lore)

LEGACY OF VADER - THE REIGN OF KYLO REN (Kylo as Supreme Leader, more KoR)

CRIMSON REIGN (KoR pre-Ben)

While not necessarily an unexpected set of villains (I like to parallel canon dynamics) I will say that What it Becomes has some twists you won't see coming, especially in the most recent couple chapters 👀

💯 we need more tragic or inevitable doom type stories

~1500 of a first chapter and 6 more chapters of outline 😅 idk if it'll be done in time for the event, but I'll finish it anyway, even if it's late

Not gonna lie, it's been a weird enough week that I forgot FH ch.2 was so recent! Thanks for the shout-out tho 💙

I should be writing. Conceptually, I want to write. In practice, I'll probably just reread toxic old man omegaverse yaoi and fall asleep early. This is self care, right?

Sometimeeeess people upload stuff there. I've found movies mostly, but I've heard of people finding textbooks, so it goes to reason that there's probably some fiction in there

Can always take a gander at the internet archive 👀

Love this for the Reylos, really. Y'all are certainly some of the most passionate star wars fans out there. I haven't actively been a Reylo since TFA (Kylux my beloved) but I admire the commitment and heart 💙

It's kinda a mixed bag tbh, but I like to listen to it while driving to brainstorm the next chapters. The whole story is actually named after a Poppy song!

As I crunch into the next chapter of What it Becomes, I'll share the playlist for it again, especially for those of y'all who are enjoying cyberpunk these days for no particular reason

Which one has the lower back tattoo? 🤔 I'm leaning Kylo, but could be pursuaded otherwise

Fun House 2/2 completed. Beware- here be some of the filthiest smut I have ever smutted with a minimum of editing and a maximum of grease

Now more than usual, I oscillate between bewilderment and jealousy at others' capacity for parasocial attraction to people. It's just never clicked for me. Fictional characters? Sure. I can appreciate a talented artist. But actual attraction to them? I think my brain just isn't wired like that

Accountability post for my WIPs:
What it Becomes- 21/35(?) chapters written, the rest outlined.
Fun House- 1/2 ch written, halfway through ch.2 (I think, we will see how long it gets)
Oshamir week- most of an outline done, I want to do one piece, a chapter a day for the prompts. Ghibli shifter AU 👀

Why the fuck am I awake 🫩

Oh this is fun! I like to think that there's a fun lil Maeki fluff piece happening during the events of Fun House 🤭 just for the contrast

Have funnnnn 🤭 working on ch.2 now!

Fr, this was me posting Fun House last night 🫣

Once it's written, I can't wait to go back in and change literally everything 🙃 ugh the plans I have for these characters literally keep me up at night. I love them so much, I can't wait to give them even more trauma

On the one hand, having a bit of fomo over dvpit today and slightly mourning my soft shelving of TUtbH, but also, motivation to finish the next book? TUtbH I've accepted is too dark and weird for a debut, but this next one has commercial potential,I just have to finish it first 😅

Jesus fuck, with all the bullshit this year, if we lose Dolly too, I might just become a forest hermit

Realllllyyy wish I wasn't spontaneously woken up at 5am convinced that my dog (totally healthy last I checked) is dying of some unknown heart condition (specifically this) rendering me 100% awake and unable to think of anything else 😓 I just wanna sleep dammit

Pulling out the corkboard and string today to figure exactly what the fuck is happening in this story. This is what I get for writing on this genre, it's just noir with pretty lights and robots

2/3 of the way done 😩 just color and conditioning left to go
