⭐️ Annual Writing Self-Evaluation 2022 ⭐️
Thank you to @larrysballetslippers @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed @daggerandrose @jaerie @louandhazaf @loveislarryislove @beelou @jacaranda-bloom for tagging me! I’ve done this for the past few years and I love seeing how much I’ve grown as a writer each year! (2018, 2019, 2020, 2021)
1. Number of stories posted to AO3: 14
2. Word count posted for the year: 52,141
3. Fandoms I wrote for: One Direction, Music RPF (Lil Nas X, Orville Peck), Ted Lasso
4. Pairings: Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson, girl!Harry Styles/girl!Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles/Ted Lasso, Harry Styles/Lil Nas X, Louis Tomlinson/Orville Peck, Niall Horan & Harry Styles
5. Story with the most:
Kudos: Not Another Lonely Christmas
Bookmarks: Not Another Lonely Christmas
Comments: More Than a Mic Drop
6. Work I’m most proud of (and why): We're Getting Better With Time, I feel like this fic showcases how much I've grown since I've started writing. I learned a lot about pacing and adding relevant details while writing this one, and I've received so many wonderful comments on it.
7. Work I’m least proud of (and why): Good Dogs Don’t Bark, it was fun in the moment to share something inspired by Harry barking on tour, but it isn't something I put a lot of time and effort into, so it isn't very memorable to me compared to other things I posted this year.
8. Share or describe a favorite review you received: There were so many lovely comments all around this year, but one of the funniest was a tweet of someone complaining about my Harry/Ted Lasso fic Premier Fantasies that started off with "MY EYES MY EYES MY EYES OH GOOD LORD MY TIME HERE ON EARTH IS DONE." I feel like I've finally made it to a new tier of fic writer by writing something so unhinged that someone broke into all caps.
9. A time when writing was really, really hard: I don't remember a particularly hard time this year, but November and December were difficult just from the number of deadlines I had. I was luckily able to finish everything by their posting dates, but it was very stressful. I posted the Louis Rare Pair, 1D Christmas Fest, art for Reverse Bang, and a secret santa fic all in December.
10. A scene or character you wrote that surprised you: The entire plot of That's What I Want. I wanted to write a rare pair that hadn't been done before. I picked Harry/Lil Nas X and thought it would be fun to do an Mpreg fic. I couldn’t decide which one in the pair should be pregnant. I laughed so hard when I finally figured out a plot with both of them pregnant.
More under the cut.
11. A favorite excerpt of your writing: From We're Getting Better With Time
He turns out the light, leaving his tired reflection behind as he return to the bedroom to finish unpacking. It’s strange, trying to put back pieces of his life into this room that they’ve never fit into. Everything reminds him how little this house feels like a home. The half-filled closet, the dresser without any knickknacks on top, the bare walls. Even the bedding he’d bought was a boring striped pattern.
He was never meant to stay at this rental house long term. But it’s been eight months since his wife asked for a separation, eight months since he signed the lease on the first available furnished rental unit he could afford. The rental has standard beige walls, beige carpet, beige everything. It is a beige purgatory where he’d planned to wait out the final judgement on his thirty-three years of marriage.
The ink on the divorce papers has been dry for six weeks now, and yet he hasn’t thought about buying a house of his own once.
12. How did you grow as a writer this year: My descriptions and details have improved a lot. While writing We're Getting Better With Time, I had sort of an ah-ha moment. I got frustrated because I kept thinking that the story would be told better if I could write a long slowburn fic, but I didn't have time for that because it was for a fest. Instead, I thought about all the elements I'd want if I were writing the long fic, like Harry's relationships with his ex-wife and children, or to show the difference between the home his ex-wife kept and the house Harry was renting temporarily. I got creative and found new ways to slip those details into the story without adding chapters of backstory or filler.
13. How do you hope to grow next year: My goal last year was to finish some of my longer wips. I definitely didn't do that this year, and the longest fic I posted was under 8k. Longer works are a bit intimidating for me, but I still want to finish the bigger ideas I have in my wip folder.
14. Who was your greatest positive influence this year as a writer (could be another writer or beta or cheerleader or muse etc etc): The 1D Rare Pair group chat is always so encouraging for trying out new pairings! I branched out with some brand new pairs this year, with Harry/Ted Lasso in Premier Fantasies, Harry/Lil Nas X in That's What I Want, and Louis/Orville Peck in It's All Come and Go.
15. Anything from your real life show up in your writing this year: Oddly, I wrote three fics this year that mention pancakes/waffles, and they were never eaten at breakfast. This was completely unintentional, but makes a lot of sense, as pancakes at dinnertime is one of my favorite meals.
16. Any new wisdom you can share with other writers: Stop editing your first draft. It is a lot harder to edit properly when you don't have the full picture. Try getting your idea onto the page first, then perfect it later.
17. Any projects you’re looking forward to starting (or finishing) in the new year: I have a the start of a prequel for Hex Appeal that I'm hoping to post for @wankersday. I also want to work on my Girl Direction Covid Island fic and my Zouis spy fic.
18. Tag some writers whose answers you’d like to read. @zanniscaramouche @kingsofeverything @quelsentiment @ladyaj-13 @littleroverlouis @uhoh-but-yeah-alright @beelou @allwaswell16 @fallinglikethis @reminiscingintherain @lululawrence @disgruntledkittenface @justanothershadeofblue

ohpleaselarry’s mega masterpost of my fics!
Individual yearly masterposts include fic moodboard links for easy reccing if you’re feeling kind <3
Most recent upload:
too much, but it’s enough - moodboard to rec
40k | OS | published 16 September 2022
There are about a thousand things Louis wishes he could go back in time and fix. A thousand things, and nearly all of them include Harry.
There are the more simple things, like showing him more support, telling him it’s okay to be himself, gently reminding him that a condom in his pocket is rather obvious in skinny jeans, but if he could just choose one thing, just one to change, he’d probably just have told the lad he loves him.
Always has. And always will.

2022 Writing Evaluation
hi i dug this up from the archives of this time last year because it was fun to do and i wanted to give other writers a chance to reflect if they’re so inclined! so here is my 2022 writing self-evaluation. point of order, i’m mostly filling this out specifically for my bellawritess ao3 and all the rpf stuff i write, not my other secret ao3 where i put fics written about fictional media. okay, onward.
1. number of stories posted on ao3: 23!
2. word count posted for this year: 117,763
3. fandoms i wrote for: 5sos, atl, and 1d (but also teen wolf, mcu spiderman, hawkeye, and daredevil)
4. pairings: cake, lashton, malum, jalex, narry, halex (you know that very popular harry styles/alex gaskarth ship), and mirry.
5. story with the most kudos/bookmarks/comments: the answer to all three of these criteria is a change of heart and a silver lining, my winter 2021-22 fic exchange fic, which makes me very happy. i cannot believe that fic was from last year, january feels like forever ago but i love love love that specific work so much, in large part because of how much i was able to tailor it to meg as reciprocation for all the times and ways she tailored things to me.
6. work i’m most proud of (and why): i’m gonna say a three-way tie between (1) i got a radar for trouble (and you’re a renegade), (2) between all the gasping i finally breathe, and (3) play it again and again and again. #1 is the cruel summer prequel fic that i always half-jokingly said i would one day write and then surprised myself by actually writing, and i am incredibly proud of how well i managed to recreate the vibes of cruel summer fic but also write a prequel that made sense with the direction the actual cruel summer story took. #2 was one of the first legit fics i wrote to break myself out of this big 5sos fic slump i had been in (consequence of a perfect storm of a lot of small things), and i may have gotten lost in the metaphor sauce but i maintain that the metaphors are really fucking good which was gratifying to me as a writer who had felt like maybe i’d lost my real writing skill before then. #3 is the christmas fic i wrote for hazel, and what i’m most proud of there is that i fuckin actually wrote that. my love for my friends carried me through the warfields of attempting to romanticize christmas, and in so doing i think i actually learned something about christmas, ugh i feel like i’m getting less jewish every second i spend talking about this but i really am proud of myself for writing that and even moreso because i think i tailored it pretty well to hazel’s taste and that made me happy. it was like an extra challenge i set myself and then i did it well.
7. work i’m least proud of (and why): pretty much all the prompt fics from this year’s batch, tbh. this malum roommates one is really funny if you imagine you’re a fly on the wall of mine and megs’s dorm room but it’s the most nothing fic on the planet otherwise, and you’re my whole house is cute but again, literally nothing. unfortunately these were written while i was binge watching seinfeld which probably contributed to how much they were About Nothing but that’s no excuse.
8. share or describe a favorite review you received: i’m super terrible at remembering comments and stuff that people leave me but a few days ago i got a comment on yssdf saying it was one of the best love stories they’d ever read and that just about knocked my socks off
9. a time when writing was really, really hard: from aboutttt february to september, which is pretty obvious when you notice that i didn’t post a fic (on this account) between march 18th and september 27th of this year. i hit that aforementioned slump in a big way and i was also busy with life stuff and i was also just. unmotivated and uninspired! but in that time i wasn’t really doing a lot of writing to struggle with. something that was actively hard to write was definitely parts of the jet lag songfic i wrote for the fest. megs and hazel both experienced various aspects of my intense battle with Plot and Characters. it was not pretty.
10. a scene or character you wrote that surprised you: luke in the muke college beach fic!!! he was so much more gutsy than (a) he’s usually written and (b) i expected him to be. and tbh, michael in that fic also kind of surprised me, although less so because he was based on a real guy i know, so it was more like trying to delve into the fictionalized mind of a real human being i go to school with and understand what it is that makes him only APPEAR to be an asshole and in reality maybe actually have a heart of gold. if that makes sense. character work but the character is based on a real person who is based on a real person. meta af.
11. a favorite excerpt of your writing: ill be the first to admit im a sucker for when there’s a song playing in the in-universe fic scene and then the lyrics tie into the moment. i have that in two fics that i can think of, so here they both are:
(1) from everywhere, everything:
Luke is trembling when he looks up at Ashton, but he only nods. Tilts their foreheads together.
Say it’s me that you’ll adore— Sinatra sings, and then there’s a scratch and a crack, and the whole record player crashes through the glass tabletop.
(the end of that lyric is “for now and evermore” !!!! HOW FUCKED IS THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(2) from faith in a stolen car (the jean jacket songfic i just wrote for the fest):
Calum’s rumbling laugh shook both of them as Springsteen vowed I’ll love you with all the madness in my soul, and Ashton sang along in a silly voice so Calum knew he meant it with everything he had.
[and]
He turned up the music, and ‘No Surrender’ blared out of the surround sound. The lines that had been stampeding around Ashton’s brain since Calum had first swept him up in tonight’s teenage delinquency now screamed against the wind in his ears.
Ashton smiled wider than his face could handle and screamed right back.
“WE MADE A PROMISE WE SWORE WE’D ALWAYS REMEMBER,” Calum’s voice joined his, and together they beat back the deafening gales; “NO RETREAT, BABY, NO SURRENDER!”
12. how did you grow as a writer this year? this year i learned the importance of conflict. “hey bella, didn’t you learn that in seventh grade english?” YES but then i IGNORED it and now i have relearned it in a fanfiction context and in the broader sense that i now understand every story has a conflict and more than that, a story needs a conflict, because that’s what drives it. after i finished writing those prompt fics, i thought, damn, these are fun but nothing is fucking happening in any of them. i wonder why that is! and then i realized. there was no conflict. i was writing “scenes” but nothing interesting within those scenes, so there was nothing pulling the characters from point A (the start of the scene) to point B (its conclusion) and as a result they all became meandering blocks of text with no goal or direction. anyway. point being that i have embraced conflict as a necessary factor in storytelling and i hope this will mean no more seinfeldian fics, prompt or otherwise.
13. how do you hope to grow next year? yes <3 jk but i sincerely have no idea, i don’t have any current ideas on how i plan to grow next year i just very much intend to grow. how it happens is anyone’s guess
14. who was your greatest positive influence this year as a writer (could be another writer or beta or cheerleader or muse etc etc)? gotta be a tie between megs @igarbagecannoteven and hazel @allsassnoclass. obviously megs is my #1 rubber duck roomie, whether she likes it or not, and she has helped me solve more problems than i am comfortable admitting. actually i’m very comfortable admitting it megs has untangled a myriad of fic knots on many occasions this year she is the best rubber duck in the world. and hazel has become my virtual rubber duck which is great because it means i have all my bases covered! truly these two are a dynamic duo because they will both just let me sit there and complain and yet always have the right thing to say.
15. anything from your real life show up in your writing this year? as always, a great many things. make the same mistakes ‘til the morning breaks and the muke college beach fic are both inspired by things that happened with this one guy i know from school (yes, the same guy, and yes, he is represented by michael both times, and no, i do not know why it happened like that). the latter came from just a single snap i saw on his snap story, and none of the fic is actually based on real events, but the former is HEAVILY based on real events between this guy and one of my good friends at school. lmao!
i’ve been wishing i could breathe underwater is based on my experience scuba diving, which is to say, pure unmitigated terror, 1/10, do not recommend except to say that you did it. tequila shots from the dark scene of the crime is chock-full of baseball talk, specifically about Worst Team In Baseball the Washington Nationals (affectionate), so those feelings are straight from my heart. the concept of tell me what to see has not happened to me but it was very much inspired by my experience of getting in the habit of working out and realizing your muscles are literally increasing in size. the christmas fic has all my jewish disdain for christmas. that’s the shortlist, i think!
16. any new wisdom you can share with other writers? honestly, nope! i think other writers are thriving on their own fic journeys, as i am on mine. you guys seem to have a handle on things. i can reiterate my vehement loathing of comma splices or otherwise incorrectly-placed commas, but other than that i don’t have much to offer in the way of wisdom.
17. any projects you’re looking forward to starting (or finishing) in the new year? yes!! i am really excited to (hopefully) finish this fic ive been intermittently writing that is based on back together by tss. well, actually it’s based on the specific energy that was created in the world when back together and 2011 were released on the same night. it’s a tss!5sos au. it’s going to be really good okay. it’s tasty. and as always i hope to finish summer camp au i am dead fucking set on finishing that fic there is no question in my mind that it will be completed someday sooner rather than later i hope but definitely eventually. aside from those, i can’t think of any other fic plans i have! just gonna see where the winds of fic fate take me.
18. tag some writers whose answers you’d like to read: @igarbagecannoteven @allsassnoclass @kaleidoscopeminds @burstingsunrise @cringeycal (?) <3
#stuff#tag games#fic talk#it's 3:20am im going the fuck to sleep#tomorrow is going to stress me out so much#ive been experiencing low-grade but slowly-growing levels of stress for the past week or two about this trip#and now it's. now i'm leaving in TWO DAYS and jesus christ im nervous#i am so stupid for this#for everything#it's going to be fine#ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh gay fucking fear!!!!!!!#goodnight

Locked In (Your Safe Haven) //8,116 words, T
Written by @artsymisfitlover for the @1dchristmasfest
We've all dreamt of getting locked in a shopping mall overnight, running around with no abandon. But what happens when you actually do get locked in one on the night of Christmas Eve? Oh, and just so you know, you're not alone.
Or a tooth rotting fluff filled Christmas fic based on the prompt :
"Getting trapped in a shopping mall together during after-hours in which they were Christmas shopping too hard."
Feat. an extremely generous and teddy bear hearted Harry Styles and a head over heels Louis Tomlinson.
The fic is live now! Read it here on ao3

Three Hundred Cupcakes Later
Larry 5K
written for@1dchristmasfest
Louis finds Christmas parties usually too boring or too rowdy. Nothing in between. And this one was definitely bordering on lame... Until he spotted the most handsome man watching him.

2021 Fests I Participated In 📝
Thank you to the lovely @larry-hiatus for coming up with this and tagging me to do it 💕
List the fests that you participated in this year and reflect on them
1. @1daboficfest
Oh this is the fest that birthed my baby Sweet like candy!! I had so much fun writing this little fic, and it’s one of my most popular fics. I looved the prompt I chose, with Louis’ smooth move of getting Harry’s number with gummy bears. I loved the characters and this fic world so much I actually made it a series for wordplay!
2. @larrydrabble
This was my first time participating in one of these challenges and I loved it! My word prompt was “trail” and I came up with my tinyest fic Trailing behind. It was challenging to keep everything at exactly 100 words, but I found I actually really enjoyed this kind of wordcount restriction!
3. @hlmpregficfest
This was my football player Louis fic with unplanned pregnancy! This fic didn’t come out exactly the way I wanted it to (life, you know) but I still really like it! And as someone that always struggles with finding titles, I think this one is one of my best lol: Game Changer
4. @wordplayfics
Wordplay was definitely a fun and challenging experience! I made a little series (love so soft, you ain’t had nothing softer) out of it, which is basically half fluff and half smut lol. I’m a master procrastinator, so it was refreshing to challenge myself to write five fics in five weeks, and I’m still somehwat surprised I actually managed to do it!
5. @1dtrickortreatfest
Just One More, my little 666 words fluffy kid fic! I knew from the moment I heard of this fest I wanted to write something for it, and I had a lot of fun with the little fic I came up with! Again, I love this kind of wordcount challenge, and I definitely want to do some more this year!
6. @soulmatesabroad
This fest came with a lot of firsts for me! First time writing a soulmates fic, first time writing enemies to lovers, first time writing a fic that didn’t take place in the UK. It definitely made me step out of my comfort zone a little, but I think Swimming Against the Tide is one of my fave fics of mine, and for sure a lot different from what I usually write!
7. @1dchristmasfest
Festive fics are some of my favourite to write and read. This was my second year participating in this fest, and I wrote Lights Out, a short domestic fluff fic with Harry and Louis decorating their Christmas tree when the power goes out. I always love reading all the fics that come out of this fest and look forward to it every year.
Number of fests: 7
Number of fics: 11
I hadn’t realised until now just how many fests I wrote for last year lmao. Maybe let’s not do that many for 2022…although it is only January and I’m already signed up for three and have my eye on a few more so not a good start haha!
Favorite fest/fic: I think I’d have to say the 1D Trick or Treat fest was my fave. I really loved the challenge of writing exactly 666 words and the little ficlet I ended up with is one of my favourite things I wrote last year. So many awesome spooky fics came out of it as well, loved it!
Fests you would love to do again this year (if they come back!): I definitely would love to do the 1DABO fic fest again, as well as Wordplay. And I for sure will write for the 1D Christmas Fest again if it comes back this year!
I’m going to keep this simple and do a general tag: If you’ve taken part in some fic fests in 2021 and feel like doing this, I’m tagging you! :)

2021 - WRITING GOALS FOR ZANNI - RECAP
❄️Participate in 8 Fests
6/8 = 75%
-Omega Harry
-Big Bang
-A/B/O
-Cliche Fest
-Round Robin
-1D Christmas Fest
Three drop outs. Whoops!
❄️Write 21 Fics
17/21 = 80%
❄️To Keep Learning
Success! I learned so much this year about my comfort zones, where I am weakest in writing, and discovered new things I’d love to explore more.
❄️READ MORE FICS
Hmm, not quite a success. A major health crisis(or two) followed by an unseen new work placement took over the last half of the year and my interest in all things creative took a big nose dive. I DID manage to leave some big and involved comments on other people’s works tho, inspired by those who have done the same for me, and I personally know how brilliant it can feel when someone takes the time to contemplate your work on a deeper level, so I'm really happy with myself for facilitating that feeling in others.
-
Me of the past said: If I only get half of this done I will have the kindness to admire my own boldness to aim big and love myself for what I DO accomplish
And I AM so proud of myself for what I did achieve this year. I know next year may be slower but hopefully the fics will be a touch better. 2021 was all about quantity, I’m hoping 2022 will be more about quality. I’ll make some new goals soon and share them here once again to help keep myself accountable!

-Big Bang
-Reverse Bang
-Bottom Louis
-Bottom Harry
-A/B/O
-1000 Feelings for Which There Are No Names

Ludovic (Anastasia AU)
(You can read more about these through the links on the left-hand side of my main blog page!)
Plus fics for the festivals mentioned above, that leaves room for roughly 5 lil rare-pair PWP’s ;) Give me some prompts and pairs, would love to hear!
❄️To Keep Learning
Every fic I write I feel like it’s better than the one before it. I love that! It gives me a sense of growth. Hopefully I continue to feel challenged and continuously find new aspects of writing to delve into this year! I can’t stand feeling stagnant.
Help me out by leaving some kind and helpful concrit in comments on my fics or reaching out through tumblr/email/discord! I always love to hear it ♡
❄️READ MORE FICS
And leave a comment on every one of them!
♡ There are so many fics on my ‘to read’ list and so much time I waste when I could be enjoying myself with a nice lil fic ♡ And spread some love! Two eggs in the same basket!
These are lofty and grand goals. They are merely guiding stars, and if I only get half of this done I will have the kindness to admire my own boldness to aim big and love myself for what I DO accomplish. I hope you can feel the same about yourself! ♡
Thank you @laynefaire for encouraging me to think about my future goals! ♡
Does anyone else have writing goals for this year?

Hi which fests have you participated in? And are you interested in joining more? I love your works so much 😍
Hi! I’ve done two fests so far, and am signed up for two more!
I did the 1D Christmas Fest 2021 with Slip Into Your Arms, then I did the Top Harry Fic Fest 2022 with Lonely Shadow Dancers
Coming soon are the Bottom Harry Fic Fest and the Omega Louis Fic Fest, both of which I’m writing on!
As for signing up for more, I love writing for fests and the whole process is rather fun for me. At the moment I’m working on two different ones plus my other non-fest wips, so if I sign up for another fest it’d be after I finish at least one of the ones I’m working on atm. Two fics with a set deadline is already a lot with the way I write, haha

😇2021 - WRITING GOALS FOR THIS CRAZY GREMLIN 😈
🖌Participate in at least 8 Fests
Currently considering:
-Big Bang
-Reverse Bang
-1D Cliche Fest
-Bottom Louis
-1D Christmas Fest
-1000 Feelings for Which There Are No Names
-Wordplay Fest
-Possibly ABO fest. Keyword possibly.
Any others you think I should look into?
🖌Write at least 11 Fics
Including Current WIPs:
Take Me Everywhere
Raindrops on Roses
Love After the End of the World
Out of Time
TDIF Part 2 (This seriously needs a better name)
🖌KEEP PRACTICING BY BRANCHING OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE
It was so much fun writing fics like Fractured and Christmas Idiots, because I was using different writing muscles for each one. Fractured was so short, Christmas Idiots was so fluffy.
1) Write at least one fic from a POV that isn’t Harry or Louis.
B) Write at least one fic that is a Louis/non-Harry pairing.
III) Possibly write an ABO.
(This is the trope at the very bottom of my ‘I’d actually attempt to write something like this’ list. So any comments, thoughts, or suggestions concerning me writing an ABO would be most appreciated!)
Also) Any ideas you think I should try to write? Please let me know!
“Help me out by leaving some kind and helpful concrit in comments on my fics or reaching out through tumblr/email/discord! I always love to hear it ♡” (Zanni wrote this but the same goes for me!)
🖌READ MORE FICS/SUPPORT MORE CREATORS
♡ I spend so much time writing and/or beta’ing, but when I do read, I know I got burned with my special brand of comment in the past, but I’m not going to let it stop me from vomiting love over every fic I read this year!
♡ If you know of a creator on Tumblr I should know, please tell me! Got a fic rec for me? Let me know! I trust everyone but Zanni when it comes to recc’ing fics (😘).
I’m pretty excited about everything on this list, tbh! And I feel it’s all completely achievable!
Anyone else have some goals to share?
#2021 goals#goals and achievements#also I completely mooched the format from Zanni#zanni is awesome#thank you love#still don't trust your fic recs#yet#XD

7th December:
🎄🎅🏻 let's make Christmas merry, baby by GuiltyPleasureIsMyPleasure 🎅🏻🎄
19,871 words // Explicit
“Holy shit! Mrs Claus has arrived!” Marcus yelled, raising his solo cup in the air and grinning from ear to ear. Clearly, he was drunk and the party hadn’t even begun yet. “Santa, come see your bride!” His speech was slurred and the sweater he was wearing reeked of shitty cologne and beer. God Louis hated frats.
Liam’s elbow dug into his side and his arm looped around his shoulders. “Hey Lou, look at that,” the alpha hummed, looking at something just above Louis’ head. “Doesn’t that mean you guys have to kiss?”
“Kiss,” Marcus yelled, bobbing his head. “Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss!”
“No way in hell,” Louis scoffed and rolled his eyes. He spun on his heel, raising his hand with his middle finger standing proud as he stalked away from the group of frat brothers, heading towards the kitchen.
(Harry and Louis have to play Mr and Mrs Claus at a frat party and don’t get on, but keep getting stuck under mistletoe until they do get on)

My 2021 Fic Fests
Thank you @cyantific and @chloehl10 for tagging me to share the fic fests I was part of in 2021! I'm not a huge fest participant, mainly because I don't like signing up for things I might not be able to complete and I don't like pressure, but I did a couple!
Number of fests: 2
Number of fics written: 3
Favourite fest/fic: I only did 1D Trick or Treat Fest and the 1D Christmas fest, but I loved that in both I was able to decide to join in late on (Trick or Treat with no sign-ups and Christmas with the late call for more stories), which really suits me and my writing system (i.e., there is no system. Whatever comes out comes out, whenever it wants). I also like all the stories I wrote in different ways. If I had to pick one, I’d say Little Saint Nick, because it was barely a spark of an idea and then it snowballed (heh) as I sat down to try it out.
Fests you would love to do again this year (if they come back!): I’d do both of these again! The Trick or Treat fest is a great writing exercise with the 666 word limit, and who doesn’t love a Christmassy fic? I’ve also signed up for big bang, and I'd love to do the poly fic fest but I don’t think I’m going to make the Jan 30th deadline as I really should concentrate on the BB at this point… Wordplay last year looked fun as well. HOWEVER I have a list as long as my arm of projects I’m writing/want to write, so I do like if I can use something in-progress to fit the fest instead of following prompts and ending up with even more WIPs.
@cyantific added in Fic Fest you wish existed and I love that idea - although I note they're hoping to run their fest and I don’t have the capacity at this point to take on something like that! Fic fest mods are heroes. However, I would love more fests that focus on non-Larry. I love Larry, don’t get me wrong (my BB will be Larry!), but I think people need less encouragement for Larry fics, with their guaranteed readership. As a rare pair reader, rare pair-focused stories are also harder to find (unless you use ‘otp: true’ on AO3, or exclude all the Larry fics - but that’s almost useless for Ziam given how often Ziam and Larry go hand in hand) so a collection is like hitting jackpot. My personal favourites are Lilo, Tomlinshaw and Nouis, because I’m a Louis girl, so any of those three… well, I’d certainly consider selling my soul even if I didn’t go through with it.
My fics below the cut…
My contribution to fests in 2021: (In chronological order)
1. 1D Trick or Treat fest - Ghostbesties (Zayn and Louis) @1dtrickortreatfest
I had this idea kicking around and when I saw the fest it was the perfect excuse to finish it and keep it concise! It took a lot of revision to stick to 666 words but it was really interesting to work within such a constraint. And the reception to fics in this fest was amazing, even for my little gen fic. So many comments and kudos! I love.
2. 1D Christmas Fest - A Kiss for Christmas (Lilo) @1dchristmasfest
I saw the late call for stories for this fest and figured I’d give writing something short and sweet a go, and this was the result. It’s a weird mix of Louis’ vaguely horny internal monologue, childhood toys, and Liam as the son of Father Christmas. I don’t know. I don’t know where it came from but I honestly love it. Also I think(?) there were four non-Larry main pairings in this fest, and I wrote two of them, so happy to help with that variety :D
3. 1D Christmas Fest - Little Saint Nick (Tomlinshaw) @1dchristmasfest
I kind of didn’t mean to write this (I wasn’t even sure if the fest accepted multiple stories by the same author at the time) but a tiny half idea became this whole big thing (nearly 11k! That wasn’t the plan!) when I sat down and figured I’d give it half an hour to see if it had legs. It has canon Nick but AU Louis, supernatural elements and touches on some darker themes, and writing it was a real adventure. And I just realised they end up talking about sheep again, like they do in one of my other Tomlinshaw fics… why do I associate Tomlinshaw with sheep?!?
An absolutely huge thank you to everyone who organised a fest last year for encouraging the production of so many great stories! As a writer, I loved dipping my toe into fests, and as a reader I threw myself in wholeheartedly, so thank you for the hours of entertainment.
I feel like I’m getting to this a bit late, so probably most people have been tagged? If not, consider this yours!
