WIP Wednesday
Mar. 25th, 2026 03:30 pmfirethesoundNew words this week : 6,479 words which is pretty much back to my average. Had hoped for a bit more, but all things considered I'm happy with it.
WIPs worked on this week : 2, with no new WIPs (yay!)
Things here have continued to be bananas. Zero free time, started off this week with an emergency dental appointment, persistent headache, ugh. I can't remember the last time I had a full night sleep and it's starting to really take its toll.
The Old Guard
☆ food truck au : 6,084 words which brings the total to 112,812 words and I'm hung up on Chapter 11. I've been adding words to later parts so progress is still being made, but I'm struggling a little, and I think it's something I need to just let simmer in the back of my brain for a while. I'm disappointed that I didn't make my goal of starting to post this thing by the end of March, but it is what it is. I have no earthly idea how long it's going to be, judging by how many chapters I have left and how long recent chapters have been running... I still have something like 50k to go?? And I'm looking at that number like, this can't possibly be right. I really hope that's not right. There is no reason this fic should be this long what am I even doing anymore.
☆ early days pwp : 395 words which brings the total to 2,052 words and shifting gears a little bit because it's been like 6 months since I've posted anything so this is one that I KNOW will not run long, because my pwps always stay under 10k. This one in particular should only be around 5-6k, and I just really want to have something finished and posted.

2026 Fics
Mar. 22nd, 2026 11:00 pmfrnklymrshnklyfelt like never posting anything again bc ai hellscape, but with cons and zines so much less a tent pole of fic sharing than they were in ancient times...
had fun co-authoring a Cho/Hermione crack fic for Femslash Rares in winter, now feverishly trying to wrap something for Snarry-A-Thon, and signed up for Femslash Big Bang, where i'm sliding in with a TIMELY fic for a 26-year-old movie. fortunately, writing a fair bit of femslash has prepared me well for crickets in the pursuit of my vision XD
hopefully i can beta read 10x the words i post myself o7

WIP Wednesday
Mar. 18th, 2026 08:55 pmfirethesoundNew words this week : 6,705 words which is a little bit less, but pretty good considering this week has been bananas so far. Much less writing time + some of my writing time went to beta-reading a thing + some of my writing time went to editing/outlining.
WIPs worked on this week : 2, with no new WIPs (yay!)
Thank goodness we've all been healthy, could this horrible cold and flu season finally be coming to a close??
The Old Guard
☆ food truck au : 6,553 words which brings the total to 106,712 words and another chapter down! We have more Confessions of Feels, more kissing, and next chapter is finally (finally!!) the smut! So as I've been writing, I've been pulling out bits that don't quite fit in the chapter I'm writing and copy/pasting them into later chapters, figuring I'd sort it out later. Well, later has arrived and all my copy/pasted chickens have come home to roost. I've had to stop to throw together a rough outline, and I... am not sure that I can finish this in five chapters ugggghhhh I am going to be writing this fucking thing forever.
☆ werewolf au : 153 words which brings the total to 14,073 words and this was just jotting down a quick little snippet before I forgot it (and I'm glad that I did because I honestly can't remember what it was).
