submitted to my inbox by @plant-princes! here’s a list of yearly writing shit.

1. LIST OF WORKS PUBLISHED THIS YEAR

lawnsigns: a collaboration between me and @verystrongarms written for the hetalia big bang in june this year, though the series is still incomplete.

parasitic symbiosis: an incomplete belarus/japan fic written in august this year when i was feeling particularly depressed. i have a lot of ideas for how to continue it but tbh i don’t know if i actually could.

and it’s enough just to make you go crazy: you know the dream daddy craze? this and a short craig drabble were my contribution to it, and there will be others. i know it’s like kinda dead atm but also... it was a fun game and i enjoyed it.

sword-shattering fear filled me overflowing: written near the end of november this year. it’s gonna continue eventually.

some loser who rides the same bus: a gift i wrote for aph rare pair secret santa and the last work of the year. belarus/spain fic.

2. WORK YOU ARE MOST PROUD OF (AND WHY):

tbh, if you’re asking what i’m really proud of this year, it’d have to be all my oc writing! i just had a lot of fun with it and it brought me a lot of joy despite the lack of reception.

so like, either this work detailing the first kisses of my ocs or if you’d prefer one from fandom, lawnsigns, probably.

3. WORK YOU ARE LEAST PROUD OF (AND WHY):

i’m actually pretty proud of parasitic symbiosis, i think it’s got a lot going for it and a lot i could follow up on, but i wrote it at a point where i was so miserable i doubt i’d be able to follow up on it? like it’d be difficult to replicate that level of self-pity lol.

4. A FAVORITE EXCERPT OF YOUR WRITING:

“Florence is emboldened in her dream. She is a breath of life and an expression of happiness. Yellow flowers are tangled within her red hair. Silver is embedded in the grey of her eyes. Leaves grow like hair from her cold skin. Florence is a mistress of the Earth until she is taken back to the water, where she wilts.

This is home, she thinks. This is the womb of the world and the epicenter of her life, but it doesn’t feel like home. It feels like something dreaded. A home that was never.”

from this.

5. SHARE OR DESCRIBE A FAVORITE COMMENT YOU RECEIVED:

aaa ok so my favorite comments this year were literally.... every comment i got i think lmao!!

some highlights were a really nice comment @snark-sniper left on lawnsigns and a really horrible but very funny comment left by a wattpad commenter that referred to me as “author-sama” and apologized for being “moar into yaoi.”

6. A TIME WHEN WRITING WAS REALLY, REALLY HARD:

the entirety of my summer break i was really depressed so writing was :/

7. A SCENE OR CHARACTER YOU WROTE THAT SURPRISED YOU:

i hadn’t written aph spain extensively until recently! and my oc z became surprisingly much more likeable over this year.

8. HOW DID YOU GROW AS A WRITER THIS YEAR:

i think uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i got more confident in my writing i guess?

9. HOW DO YOU HOPE TO GROW NEXT YEAR:

i wanna be able to handle certain concepts better/with more clarity and i hope i can get a handle on some of the more overarching flaws in my writing?

10. WHO WAS YOUR GREATEST POSITIVE INFLUENCE THIS YEAR AS A WRITER (COULD BE ANOTHER WRITER OR BETA OR CHEERLEADER OR MUSE ETC ETC):

oh several people! @verystrongarms remains one of my biggest supporters when it comes to writing stuff and also my friends!!! have been!!!! so supportive!!!

11. ANYTHING FROM YOUR REAL LIFE SHOW UP IN YOUR WRITING THIS YEAR:

i mainly write romance despite not having much of a romantic life but i do have kind of a romantic life now which is iconic.

12. ANY NEW WISDOM YOU CAN SHARE WITH OTHER WRITERS:

just keep writing dude!!!! keep writing whatever it is you’re working on now!! i don’t care if its fuckin................... kyle ron/reader or some weeb shit i just... i’m really passionate abt a period of time of non-critical growth. i went so long w/o thinking abt stuff i wrote and by the time i was ready to be critical about it i already had the foundations of it down? improvement is perpetuated by fucking up over and over again and making the most embarrassing bullshit for the longest time until finally u wake up from that trance and you’re like, “... huh. Bad.” and then you make good stuff.

13. ANY PROJECTS YOU’RE LOOKING FORWARD TO STARTING (OR FINISHING) IN THE NEW YEAR:

hopefully i’ll make meaningful progress with my book thing maybe.

14. TAG FIVE WRITERS/ARTISTS WHOSE ANSWERS YOU’D LIKE TO READ.

fdsalkjfdsl ok so the point is kinda missed bc it’ll be 2018 by the time anyone else gets around to it but:

@snark-sniper, @gayspacejew, and @angelpatton! and anyone else who wants to do the thing! blease!
