@charlotterhea and @asphodelandabsinthe, thank you for asking me! Both of y'all asked for 6 and 11 so I thought I'd put them together.

6. Which yet-to-be-started fic is first on your list for this year?

Ahhh, yeah. I was talking to @renee561 (I don't know why I can't tag them??? ) and figured out some of my issues. I have invisible rules for myself.

A. I need to finish 🎭 Fic. I need to finish 🦕 fic. I need to finish 🐺 fic. All are 'late'. From 2 weeks to over a year. I feel guilty for not finishing them, and won't let me work on other things until I finish those first. Those feelings aren't fun. The guilt, the shame for not finishing the thing, I am really mean to myself (which I don't realize until I start to write about it on Tumblr 😅) I need to give myself grace and tell myself it's okay to purposely put them aside for a while.

I want to work on a Fairytale. Probably my Twelve Dancing Princesses AU. That's my favorite fairytale. I haven't worked on it since August 2022. I was looking up the caduceus (The medical symbol with the snakes twining around a rod) and having that be the "Dark Mark" in this AU because it's a symbol of Hermes and the dark followers are going to be Voldies messengers in this fic. I'm quite proud of that detail.

8. Is there a story idea in your mental vault that you've never been brave enough to try writing? Is this the year? Can you tell us about it?

My secret fic! It's less of a secret the more I talk about it, 😅 It's an Alice in Wonderland AU for Harry Potter. The idea came to me last year (spring ish 2022?). There's no real writing work on it yet. I have a playlist for it. I have snippets of it. I've done lots of thinking on roses and decks of cards and the different suites and which HP characters fit which Wonderland characters. I know that I want to make a flowing paint art to make the map of wonderland. I know the Forrest and mushrooms will be important.

I know I'm not as strong enough writer right now to write it the way I want to. I feel so strongly about this idea and I'm worried about doing it justice. Yet I also relate to the advice that says don't hold anything in reserve. Write all the ideas now. More ideas will come. I need to start writing it and not worry about whether I am "good enough" to write it (because I will never judge myself "good enough".) The requirements should be

1. Do I know English enough to write? ✅ Yes I do

2. Do I have a story to tell? ✅ Yes I have a story.

The end of requirements.

I think this will be the year to get on paper the parts that I do know. I'm still missing chunks of plot, so it will be a while before it's released. I'm still excited about it.

11. Would you like to try any new fanfic tropes or genres or tropes this year?

I dunno. I like the soulmates trope and read pretty much everything I can get my hands on for it. I've never written any (I think?) So maybe I'll get around to writing some myself. Maybe even for my second favorite pairing, Charlie Weasley x Draco Malfoy.

13. Aside from fanfic, are there any other fan works you'd like to try creating? Fanart, or fan vids? Giftsets or podfic?

Yes! I loved one of my oneshot last year and I did actually record my rendition of it. And I immediately appreciated audiobooks and folks who do podfics more. The audio isn't the best, and I need more practice. (And to figure out some mitigation plans for background noise)

My goal for this year is to do at least one fan bookbinding. I love that idea and would enjoy a physical copy of some of my favorite comfort fics.

Thank you so much for the asks! It makes me so warm and happy inside to get the requests. You gave me a gift and I am grateful ❤️❤️❤️
