#you don't write 150k if you don't like ghost stories
Text
Read a doujinshi today where Kotetsu visits Barnaby’s extremely haunted (for some reason) apartment and gets possessed by like four separate ghosts that Barnaby has to help cross over because they’re actively draining the life from Kotetsu but Kotetsu’s body literally throws Bunny for trying to bonk the spirit out of his body. Because they were calling out for help. They wanted help Bunny. And helping people is so ingrained in him that his body will move even as his spirit sleeps.
It also featured the black bead bracelet around Kotetsu’s wrist breaking (as well as him being the only one who could sense the bad mojo) so Now i’m going to be thinking about little Kotetsu getting possess this way to sunday as a kid and just. Not realizing it. Muramasa and his Mother just having to Constantly help out these wayward spirits. “Moooooom Kotetsu got possessed by another hungry cat!” Finally finding that black bracelet and having the possessions stop.
Kotetsu who’s only awareness of the fact he was possessed was being extra tired and not remembering bits of time: Sweet bracelet.
Tomoe broke it once and had to deal with 3 wayward souls and once she was done she fixed the bracelet and made him PROMISE to never take it off again. I love you honey. If you turn into one more dog and start licking me I’m going to start buying wards for the house and taping them to your back.
Kotetsu will has no idea this happens. But man is he good at entering haunted places, blacking out and then finding them feeling Not haunted when he wakes up. He just can’t stop reaching out his hand to those in need.

Introducing myself
Well this feels awkward •ᴗ•
I rarely make posts like these on any website but hey I gotta start somewhere, and having a blog was something that always interested me. Be it a hobby or something I can professionaly work with. And I do love yapping. So that's a big plus
Not but fr, who am I you might ask? Why am I introducing myself to the tumblr void?
Truth be told I am a silly little writer. Currently I post on A03 since I am hyperfixated on Genshin Impact, and I love love love writing. In fact I have wrote a couple of series now. Word count can reach up to 150k words. Crazy stuff.
Here are some fics I wrote that you might recognize or enjoy if you feel like looking into them!
A Puppet's Heart series
A series of 3 main books and one extra short fic, focused on Scaramouche x reader, sprinkle of Cynonari, and exploring friendships/tension between Wanderer, Cyno, Collei and Tighnari
Canon-compliant
<𝟑 The main 3 stories:
Lotus and it's Thorns
Blossom of the Divine
The Withered in Bloom
<𝟑 Extras/short fics (be warned that the second one is a smut)
1. Dendrobiums and Mourning Flowers
2. Darling (Don't order me around)
You can read the series here: Click me
A Loving Promise Series
A work-in-progress series, focused on Childe x reader, in which Childe is a bit yandere (ok maybe a lot yandere) and forced marriage is a big thing. Childe's lore is very impactful here, especially abyss stuff
Canon-compliant, will have multiple parts of the series
The Main story:
Ornament of Heart
You can read the series here: Click me
The Ghost of Inazuma
A standalone fic, focused on Kazuha x Kazuha's friend (Tomo) and detective Heziou. In this one Kazuha has a side-hustle as an assassin and things get very heated when the Tenryou comission starts hunting him down. Heizou is among them, of course, as a lead detective
You can the book here: Click me
Ambush and Revenge
A short whump fic centered around Heizou and the dangers of his job. He gets ambushed and hurt, and explores a bit of Heizou's friendship with Kujou Sara
You can read the fic here: Click me
Murder and Drama - A Midnight Case
A short detective fic about Heizou and the Arataki Gang, mostly focused on humor (wow me not writing hardcore angst?? shocker). The Arataki Gang gets framed for murder and Heizou has to solve the case with Itto's brilliant help (Itto lies when he is nervous).
You can read the fic here: Click me
In conclusion
As you can see I write a lot and yapp a lot, and if you enjoy my writing feel free to follow my tumblr blog. I want to write more and am thinking about opening comissions. So if you enjoy my writing style and ideas I would be more than happy to take requests! I generally have a lot of ideas/headcannons and thoughts to share about Genshin and their characters, even if its not related to my fics. Always happy to discuss stuff with people so don't be scared to share your thoughts or questions!
That is all for now! Thank you for taking the time to read my introduction <3

Finally, For Just a Moment I'm Whole Again is coming out today!
I'm so sorry it's taken so long, I've been working myself up to inspiration again, and I think this break has helped me. I'll even give you a full synopsis of the story:
Summary: Colby finds his twin flame when he and Sam stay in an Airbnb while traveling for work, but he doesn't realize it because she's a spirit who already passed away almost thirty years before he was even born. ghost!Reader tries to communicate with Colby, but realizes that it's no use since the more attached to him she gets, the less she wants to move on safely to the afterlife. She knows she'll see him again soon.
Warnings: ghost!Reader x Colby smut, Bittersweetness, light Angst, Fluff, and more...
I absolutely love this plot—it's three requested tied together, sorry about that, but I think they worked perfectly together and it's so beautiful—and I wished I could turn it into a full length multi-part novel, but I don't have the attention or stamina for that right now.
Hopefully one day I will, and even if it's not fanfiction, I have a feeling I would write a story similar to this one except in 150k+ words and not 6k.
What do you guys feel about long fanfictions like that? Is it better for me to post them on AO3? I've seen that Sam and Colby fics aren't very popular over there, so I'm not sure if putting that much effort into a longer novel is worth it if no one will want to read it. Unless there's a more efficient way for me to post it here? Give me your thoughts.
Okay, that's enough yapping. I love you guys, thanks for the kind messages and comments since I've been breaking from posting fics.
Love, Rosie

Fanfiction Trope Meme
Stolen from @pigeontheoneandonly, who I don't know at all. Saw it in their blog and went "I like these questions".
Rules: copy/past and bold your fic preferences and tag someone to do the same.
I don't ever explicitly tag people because I don't want anyone to feel put on the spot when they could be having a bad week/month/year. I'm interested in all my friends' answers, so answer the questions if you want to.
slow burn or love at first sight. (Good question. I tend to think that love at first sight is unrealistic, because you only know what someone looks like, not who they really are. So I suppose I prefer slow burn where the affection grows as the people get to know each other.)
fake dating or secret dating. (Ugh, I like both! Though secret dating wins with Klapollo - dating in secret because Klavier's a rock star and they don't want the tabloid hassle.)
enemies to lovers or best friends to lovers. (This is how my relationships have worked in real life. We've always been friends first - at least for the relationships that have actually LASTED.)
oh no there’s only one bed or long-distance with correspondence. (Ack! I can't decide! *squishes Klapollo into one bed* vs LDR with Apollo in Khura'in and Klavier in Los Angeles/Tokyo?)
hurt/comfort or amnesia. (HURT/COMFORT. Finally, an easy one!)
fantasy au or modern au. (This one depends on the original setting. If it's a fantasy setting, a modern AU. If it's a modern setting, then a fantasy AU!)
mutual pining or domestic bliss. (Get it together, silly boys! Of course, I'm talking about Klapollo again. With some of my other ships, I prefer them to simply communicate and sort their relationship out.)
smut or fluff. (I like both BUT if we are simply talking about tropes in the absence of plot, I prefer Porn Without Plot to Fluff Without Plot. Fluff Without Plot leaves me feeling unfulfilled, like I ate candy floss when I wanted a meal. Fluff WITH Plot is fantastic, and I've written quite a few Teen-rated fics myself. Smut is definitely not essential for a good story.)
canon complaint or fix-it fic. (Fix-it!!)
alternate universe or future fic. (AUs are fascinating.)
one-shot or multi-chapter. (Depends on the story, of course. If it's high-quality, I can easily read 150k of fic in a night. What is this "bedtime" thing you speak of?)
kid fic or roadtrip fic. (I am not really a fan of either, but I LOATHE kid fic. Fan-created OC children make me break out in metaphorical hives. Though - I say that, and I would still absolutely love to read a story where Trucy (aged 25+) offers to be the surrogate for Klavier and Apollo, since she is Apollo's sister and has the most similar genetic makeup to him. I guess I'm more interested in the negotiations (will they accept it? Does Klavier even WANT children which are genetically his considering how Kristoph turned out?) than the actual part where a baby exists.)
reincarnation or character death. (NEVER character death, I hate it - and it's an actual squick to the point of being triggering with my main ship. Whereas reincarnation, finding each other again and again in different worlds over time - OMG I love.)
arranged marriage or accidental marriage. (Especially if accompanied by queer lawyers with legal shenanigans.)
high school romance or middle-aged romance. (Middle-aged fans demand middle-aged Blorbos! 35 is not "old", you teenage Narumitsu fans.)
time travel or isolated together. (Can't decide. As long as it's not a tragedy where they're separated by time, or where one is already a ghost while the other is alive, I don't much mind.)
neighbors or roommates. (No actual preference.)
sci-fi au or magic au. (Slight preference for magic, but only because SF is hard to write well.)
body swap or genderbend. (No preference, though I should perhaps observe that F/F Klapollo are barely any different to M/M Klapollo unless you're writing smut. Body swap, however, is hilarious because you have Mr Tall, Skinny, and Beautiful suddenly inhabiting the body of Mr Short, Buff, and Ordinary - and vice versa.)
angst or crack. (Angst with a happy ending. But I do love a good crack fic too!)
apocalyptic or mundane. (Mundane please. Apocalyptic fic stresses me out instead of being fun.)

Fic Writer wrapped - 2021 edition
Thank you for the tag @chromiwrites!
How many stories did you complete?
Uhh 8? I think, and I finished up two that I had started already.
What is your total word count for the year?
Ao3 says 393k but I think most of that is Tiger by the Tail so probably more like 150k lol. Plus about 56 pages worth of original stuff.
What fandoms did you write for?
One Piece and Lupin III
Did you write more, less, or roughly about what you expected?
About what I expected I think. I don't really set myself a word count goal because I don't really care that much fhfbfb. I just write what I wanna write.
What's your favourite story of the year?
Probably the dual one-two punch of Jigen's Last Stand/Is it too late to come on home? (They're in the same series so I kinda consider them one big story) I've had SO much fun writing them and brainstorming more ways to hurt Goemon with @skypiea. :) Even tho I've finished writing it I can't stop thinking about chapter 2 of Is it too late...? especially.
What's your most underappreciated story of the year?
Ehh probably the finale to Tiger by the tail. I gotta admit the first of the last 3 ending chapters is my least favourite chapter out of all of them and probably couldve done with shortening. But it sucks because I thought the actual ending was pretty exciting. My one piece fics in general haven't done great and I think it's partly because my hyperfixation on it wore off as I moved over to Lupin III heh.
Biggest fanfic-related disappointment of the year?
See above lol. There's a special kind of sadness to finishing any fanfic i think and some things you love so much it hurts to let them go. You gotta keep on trucking tho.
Biggest fanfic-related surprise of 2021?
The response I got to Jigen's Last Stand lol. I had written a handful of Lupin fics before but man it really seemed to resonate with people and it made me really happy. :) People love to see a sad gunman fucking up all his closest friendships.
Something you look forward to working on in 2022?
My original story! Working title is The World Wants Us Dead. I've written a bit of it already but I'm hoping to really sink my teeth into it more. Fanfiction will probably take a backseat but if inspiration strikes I'm hoping to finish up Is it too late...? as well!
tagging @the-golden-ghost @skypiea and anyone else who wants to do this!

hey remember when I used to write regular updates on my personal writing process? yeah, it's been a while.
it's been several years, actually. it's also been several years that I've actually written something, actually committed to writing something. I finished my novel in late 2017, and finished the editing in early 2018. since, I've made halfhearted attempts at writing one-shot fanfics and the odd short story here and there. in late 2018, i also came up with a vague "concept" for a new novel, that i started to work at, but it never really took off, not the way my first novel did. this concept has been floating around in the back of my head ever since. lately, i've also been thinking about an entirely new story concept that might be a bit easier to actually bring to life since it involves a lot less historical research than the other one.
not that historical research is a problem. at least it didn't used to be. not that writing itself is a problem. at least it didn't used to be.
in fact, looking back, i am amazed at myself what i managed to summon out of thin air. i wrote an entire book. a historical one at that, too. 150k words. that really is quite something. and i guess i am proud of it? but, at the same time and first and foremost, and that's what it all boils down to i guess, i am afraid.
i am deeply afraid, scared even. being scared is what prevented me from publishing anything thus far, even from only just showing my writing to anyone. (i have shown some individual people my writing but it's always such a struggle, really). but lately it's got even worse: being scared is what's been preventing me from writing entirely. i feel utterly paralyzed, i don't even want to turn on my laptop, that's how bad it's got. sometimes, the mere ghost of creativity creeps around in my tired brain, really a shadow of what it used to be, whispering things like "you know what might be cool" or "what if we wrote x", only to be immediatley shut down by "yeah okay but that doesn't make sense" or "what's even the point" and "no you can't do that" to straight up "that's stupid". more specifically, the creativity ghost thinks up a character concept, only to be shut down by "that's sexist, you can't write that", or a sideplot, only to be shut down by "yikes pretty sure that's racist, don't go there".
also, i know that 150k words is A LOT. and i know that length isn't necessarily a source of quality, and i know that i don't need to write a story that long. i can write something that's "only" 50k. hell, i can write even less than that. the last time i wrote something that long, it started out as a short story of what, 13k words? (I'd have to check but it wasn't much). maybe i should aim for another short story? or a short novel? it doesn't matter how long it is, as long as it gets finished for once?
basically, it all boils down to: i don't even begin because i feel like failing is the only possible outcome. i feel overwhelmed by the details that go into a writing a book.
and the crazy thing is, i've done it before. i know i am able to write a whole ass book with a shitload of information, character studies, sideplots, research about different times and different countries even. i've written something that i had no idea about, basically, and it did turn out great if i do say so myself. like, i KNOW i can do it. can i do it AGAIN, though, that's what's scaring me. what if i only had that one story in me? what if that's it? what if i can never do it again?
like, why do i put such pressure onto myself? nobody's gonna read it unless i decide otherwise. nobody can judge it unless i show it to someone. nobody would be offended by it, nobody would even have to know about it. it wouldn't matter if it wasn't "as good" as the other one.
so what's the problem, actually? i'm trying to remember how i did it that other time. i remember being insanely inspired by two already existing characters and their dynamic, i wrote a oneshot fanfic, that i then turned into a short story about two original characters that were based on those in the fanfic. i finished the short story and two weeks later decided that it wasn't in fact finished yet. and that's how it started. it was never my ambition to make it a book, i guess? is that the key to it? steal an insanely charismatic character, change them to my liking, and put them in a different setting, only to play around, without there being any pressure to it ending up as a fully finished novel?
i used to write so much in my teenage years, about original characters in original settings only, wordcounts that would make up entire universes, and they were never meant to be a "finished project" in the end, i've always used them to be a creative outlet. can i do that again, until inspiriation like back then for a novel strikes again?
what's the key to not sitting paralyzed in front of an empty word document?
#writing process#mp#pretty sure y'all know by now that english isn't my first language and im writing this without autocorrect and predictive text so whoo!#this is an entirely unedited text. enjoy. or don't.#it's really only to trick myself into writing something on a computer keyboard for once so maybe it becomes a habit again hehehe#it's all about tricking yourself isn't it. even if that means you're procrastinating in the process. so who's tricking whom really hmm#anyway. i'll open that scary word document now bye
