IT'S TIME FOR NEWS!
because there are news!
i won a thing.
i won a writer-scholarship for my wip The Five Senses and i am still over the moon and sort of helpless with myself. but i actually did it! it was an anonymous contest and the jury decided to award my project this way by only reading the first chapter and the summary. i will get a professional book-person as my mentor who will help me develop this project and ~ teach me the ways ~ to work on my weaknesses while i also get money to have the time to actually write on this. (help i actually need to write this now)
this is, of course, no agency or publishing deal yet, but it's such a big step to me and will look good in a potential query one day (when it's done). and most importantly, it's so much reassurment and motivation to me. someone "official" likes my work. i will need weeks to truly believe it x)
especially, since it's all happening in german and writing in german again after writing so much in english for so long has been... just weird. my german writing always sounds 10 times worse to me x) so yeah! those were big news number 1! and also regarding these news:
taglist news!
i haven't uuuh updated my taglists in a while. and regarding my Big Projects (the five senses, TAP & in the land of twilight), i probably won't post that much more, unless it's news (like the above!!) of a more official kind. that is why i have decided:
no singular taglists anymore, except for A Guide to Liminal Matters and Ghastly Kinds, because that's a uhhh tumblr exclusive x) but for the ones i intend to probably publish one day, there will be only one taglist for official milestones that might be interesting to share. i will tag everyone from every taglist below, and want to kindly ask that you let me know if you want to be on the official stuff taglist, because i will just not use the singular taglists anymore. hope that works for everyone!!
also:
remember my post about wanting to read more writeblr works? yes, me too, and i still have all those tabs from your responses open. i mean it, i looked at all of them and the tabs have been there for the last half year, my computer is slowly dying because of it, so i will get to them quickly. i just didn't want to just reblog the respones but take an actual look and comment something nice, so. i will! it just takes more time than i thought it would.
taglist people below the cut, just reply/ask/dm/reblog if you want to switch over to the official stuff taglist (or be completely newly added to it) ~

She carried a blade made of delicate snowsteel, yet her will could imbue it with the power and heat of stars.
(send me the first sentence of a fic and i’ll write the next 5)
Her swordsmanship could cut down anything, given but a moment to study its weaknesses. Her words and deeds swayed innumerable allies to her side, force of will alone convincing them to rise up against a seemingly-impossible foe. There were many and more legends about Mushi the Snowbound, former Hero and Savior of Hisui, the one who sealed away the ultimate monster's power and scattered its servants to the winds.
It was a daunting legacy for Vivi to live up to. But for the sake of her new friends, she had to try.
