How do you want to be known on Tumblr? 

Baylee

More below...

When did you start playing Choices? What was the first book you played? 

I think it was in 2018, and I first played Bloodbound 1. 

When and why did you join Choices fandom?

It was December 2020. I was really struggling at that point; my whole life had changed, and I still hadn't come to terms with it after a year. It was just an escape. 

How did you pick your blog name? 

It’s just my name and what I do. 

Pull up the first post in your archive, and tell us about it!  

It’s just a pfp i did over halloween. It’d me dressed like Sally from Nightmare before Christmas. 

Do you write fanfiction, create fan art, or are you one of those really gifted people who do both? 

I used to want to be a writer. I really love writing stories, I’ve never really written any fanfiction, but technically, I can draw and write. 

How long have you been creating for Choices and for any other fandoms?

It’ll be four years in December since I’ve been creating Choices-related stuff, but ever since I was a little kid, I’d get obsessed with different shows/ characters and write/ draw them. 

What is your favorite Choices book, and what is your favorite Choices book to create for?

My favourite book is definitely Bloodbound. I love drawing BB related stuff because I have a slight obsession with Kamiliah 

Share your first Choices fanfic or fan art that you posted with us. Do you still like it, or would you change it if you were creating it today?

It was a drawing I did for @ao719. I think I would change a lot if I were to draw it now. I don’t really like it anymore, and my style has definitely changed over the years.  I find it really embarrassing looking back at old drawings. 

What is your favorite piece of fiction or art that you created? 

A BB animation (I still haven't finished), but it was really fun writing the story and designing/ drawing everything. 

Do you have a creation that you didn’t expect to be well received, but it was? What about one you expected to do well but found it could use a little more love?

I never expected any animations to do well and was very surprised when they did. I’m really sure that I would like to get more attention. 

If you could only draw one style or type of art for the rest of your life, what would it be and why? 

I don't know. I’m moving into my own flat soon, so I’ve been drawing some scenery pieces I’m going to put up once I’m there. I find them really therapeutic to draw, so maybe that. 

Do you ever recognize yourself in any of your MCs?

Sometimes. 

What element of art do you struggle with most?

Probably finishing the pieces off. By that point I’ve stared at it for so many hours that all I can see are  the problems with it. 

Do you have any neglected work you really want to finish?

Absolutely, I’m going through a lot right now so there’s quite a lot of things that i really do want to finish but i just dont have the motivation. 

If someone you know in real life (who isn’t involved in fandoms) asked to see your work, would you let them? If yes, what would you show them first? 

Maybe. My big brother taught me how to draw, so occasionally, I’ll let him look at some of my drawings. 

16 - Are there any writers (published authors and/or fanfic writers) who influenced your writing or art? Are there any artists that influence you?

I can’t think of anyone published that I looked up to or have really inspired my artwork. There’s definitely people that i know in my life that have. 

Which one of your creations would you like to see fiction written about? 

I have absolutely no idea lol 

Do you write original fiction or create non-fandom art? 

Yeah, I love creating new characters and really animations doing animations of my original characters.

What other hobbies do you have?

A lot of crafty things. I was taught how to sew, knit, and crochet as a kid, and those are things I still enjoy doing now.

@choicesfandomappreciation Year End event is the perfect time to send some love @bayleedraws-sometimesx way! Your creations are so cheerful and I know they bring a smile to my face on many days when I don't feel much like smiling, and I know I'm far from the only person in the fandom who feels that way.

Thank you for sharing your talent with us and for being the lovely person that you are! We are all so very lucky to have you. Sending you all my love and wishes for a happy and bright year ahead. ((HUGS))

I've admired @bayleedraws-sometimesx's beautiful work since I joined Tumblr, so when I saw she had opened emergency commissions, I knew I had to get one. Here are Trystan and Emma, probably holding hands in public while somehow still believing they're being discreet.

Thank you, Baylee! I absolutely love this 🥰

💛 @baldwinboy5ive: I've absolutely enjoyed all of your art and memes from Blades. They were simply fantastic. Your work always puts a smile on my face!

💛 @violentinecrl: I am still absolutely in love with this gorgeous gift you made for me. I never expected anything like this and genuinely treasure it. It lives rent free in my head always.

💛 @callmebeem: I only discovered your art this year, but I am so in love with it. I love the 3 commissions you've made for me so far (even if I'm still holding on to one of them) but I absolutely treasure each and know I will be back for more soon! Thank you for them!

💛 @twinkleallnight: you write, you do art, what don't you do? Thank you for sharing all of your many talents with the Choices fandom

💛 @mydemonsdrivealimo: Jensen is an amazing character and your OH art is so lovely. Thank you for the Valentine's doodles you made for my Bryce and Olivia. I truly treasure it!

💛 @gaiuskamilah / @talasintahan: your art is simply brilliant. I haven't been following you long, but I'm loving seeing all your gorgeous work.

💛 @weetlebeetle: You're technically not in our fandom, but you've created so many amazing pieces for me and so many others, you might as well be. Thank you for sharing your talent with us! We are so lucky to have you

💛 @hashiedraws (I know you're no longer active in the fandom, but I will always adore and treasure your art!

Hi Noe (@noesapphic)!👋🏼

Surprise! I'm your Secret Pal this year. I had so much fun scrolling through your blog getting to know you. I wanted to "like" so many of your posts but was afraid of giving myself away to soon.🤣I'll be hitting that follow button now.😊

Your Choices favorites are some of my favorites too! I love D&D, but I admit it's been a really long time since I read it, and I was afraid of not being able to do it justice. So for your gift, I decided to lean into Blades.

I hope you'll like this artwork that I commissioned from the lovely @bayleedraws-sometimesx.

Happy Holidays!

Spreading a little kindness (since I sadly missed the event, because I... well... I was in the hospital. Like last year. Whatever. Sorry. But I think we should spread kindness everyday.)

@lilyoffandoms for always supporting my fanfics and motivating others. Her events are one of the best and she keeps the fandom together

@storyofmychoices for hosting events, spreading appreciation and the Choices bookclub, but also supports the fandom

@secretaryunpaid for creating beautiful edits after reading my underrated fanfics. Thanks for giving them a chance <3

@mynotsohealthyobsession I like your writing soooo much. Can't wait for the fics

@lawrencebarkley Nightbound & BOLAS bestie. Thanks for everything and the support. Glad you found me.

@tessa-liam She's so sweet. Just like King Liam from Cordonia. Hope you like my fics.

@jerzwriter We don't know eachother very long and very well, but you seem kind. Thanks for doing cfwc :)

@a-cloud-for-dreams I love interacting with you. Hope we interact soon

@itlivesinpixelberry You're such a sweet person. Love seeing you in my notifications

@bayleedraws-sometimesx Hope you're doing well and having a relaxing day
