#it took me 3 months to write 22k for one fic 😭 and i feel like i was working on it pretty consistently at the time

[hood-ex]

Brain is malfunctioning bc I'm looking at a 23k fic, and the author said they wrote it in 4 hours... 4 hours?? What do you mean?? Your mind has really gotta be in the roughest draft of rough draft modes to be able to churn that out within that time.

How many words per hour can y'all get out? I mean, if I'm booking it and don't have to consider what I'm writing, I could probably get 2k in an hour, but that's generally not the case. I hem and haw over the details so much that it could easily take me 4 hours just to get 2500 words or so. Maybe even less words if I'm really struggling.

#if i could spit out 23k in 4 hours consistently i'd be writing novels all the damn time like whaaaat #it took me 3 months to write 22k for one fic 😭 and i feel like i was working on it pretty consistently at the time #i'm just like... 4 hours?? huuuh?? #did you do hella pre-planning for that or is your brain just that magical??

writer year in review: 2021

hiii <3 i responded to this tag last year and since there’s 4 hours until 2022 for me, i thought it’s time to do it again :’)

first creation and most recent creation of 2021

blue jeans was the first fic i posted! the last fic was a drabble for flufftober, home to me

one of your favorite creations from 2021

i started making social media au series this year and my favourite one is break my heart, it meant so much to me at the time and so did all the interaction it got :’)

a creation you’re really proud of

blue jeans! it took 12 pages of planning, three weeks of nonstop writing (in a pit of ocd induced depression but i’m counting it as writing productivity 😭) and it’s the longest thing i ever wrote, sitting at 33k words. i loved every bit of it, it’s my best writing and characterisation and i’m really happy with it :’)

a new style you tried this year and a fic that uses it

help i already answered this with the smau bit bc i did not read all these questions 🧍🏽‍♀️ lemme link another series though: sun & moon

a creation that took you forever

sunny side up… MONTHS y’all it took months to hit 10k words then like a week to hit 22k 😭 it really takes me forever to get into a fic but once i’m absorbed it goes a lot faster

your creation from 2021 that received the most notes

break up with your girlfriend has 1.5k which is insane y’all are insane and i love you

a creation you think deserved more notes

hmm i’d say bliss among sinners sort of flew under the radar rip

a new fandom you joined and a creation you made for it

none lmao we sedentary and loyal

a creation you made that breaks your heart

i don’t think anyone is surprised by me saying break up with your girlfriend lmaooo though i also very much enjoyed giving it an unhappy ending bc it felt like the most natural conclusion

a ‘simple’ creation that you really love

any of the flufftober drabbles tbh but late night love has a special place in my heart :’) when will tomothy impregnate me come on man

a favorite creation created by someone else

ah there were so, so many incredible fics posted this year, i feel horrible choosing just one, but i can’t deny i’ve read torn leaves, broken hearts by thee incredible @t-lostinworlds like 800 times sksksksks it’s my go-to fic for when i need some romantic indulgence. t, i’ve already talked your ears off about how much i adore this story and your writing in general, but god you really outdid yourself here. 

however for peter... a billet-doux from the lighthouse by @subspider ash you unhinged genius 🧎🏽‍♀️ the bar i’ve set for myself is already so low but i truly never thought i’d ever say i wanted to take care of and fuck spider!peter or a man with more than 4 limbs in general. yet here we are. thee emotions, thee tenderness, thee yearning, thee web eating. poetic cinema.

some of your favorite content creators from the year

omg so many but to keep it a lil short bc i’m sleepy lmao: @userholland @specialk-18 @softholand @subspider @silkscream @vendettaparker @arvinsescape 

and for good measure, a couple more creations of yours that you love

hmmm bubblegum pop, love lies, welcome home, what moonlight can do & girls like you

tagging: everyone i’ve tagged here is very welcome to do this (no pressure ofc!!) + @veryholland @heavenlyholland @harryhollandsgirlfriend @honeyspidey @449 @peterbenjiparker @uhlxis @justapurrcat @saturnpeter @blissfulparker @lauras-collection & anyone else who wants to!!

++ not to be cheesy, but this was a very tumultous fucking year and through that all, despite how insufferable this app can be sometimes, i truly have been able to count on this lil community of ppl to make me feel better. i’ve made some wonderful friends and interacted with lovely people, and i appreciate all of y’all so much. i hope you have a peaceful, joyful and safe 2022. thank you to anyone who’s ever left a sweet comment on or sent me an ask abt a fic of mine. it means so much to me, i’m so greatful and i’m very excited to share more writing with y’all next year ♡

AAAAAAAAAA I READ THE JENO FIC LIKE. 3 TIMES??? ALREADY??? AND HOLY FUCKING JHDJKNKJDSJDF

miss lana i am: speechless.

I LITERALLY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY?? LIKE I WOULD LEAVE A REVIEW BUT I LOVED EVERYTHING IN THE FIC SO I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHICH PARTS TO PINPOINT???

omg take rest!! was the pain too bad? :(

AHAHAH tbh most desis end up multilingual so it's really nothing special ;-; we generally end up knowing at least 3 languages (except maybe parts of north india since hindi is the regional language there) but south indians (like me), people from the west and the north east always end up knowing english, hindi + the regional language/our mothertongue

I REALLY WANNA LEARN MANDARIN OR CANTONESE OMG!!! i just really love the way those languages sound? like the intonations(?) and i love the script so much too!!

sigh i wish our school had therapy dogs LMAO the only thing we get is this monthly "motivational" talk that does nothing to motivate us, makes us feel worse about our grades and basically tells us that we need to study harder than we already are </3 seriously reconsidering taking science for my last two years of high school :/

but enough about that!! being an english major seems so fun ngl <3 because english is one of the subjects that i genuinely enjoy learning (along with bio and math) so it does feel like it'd be very interesting :D tbvh, bio is my comfort subject, like i always study it whenever i need a break from relatively harder subjects like physics or chem ;-; did you ever have a subject like that in high school? y'know, it makes you actually want to study instead of studying for the sake of it?

also idk if this is tmi or not but yesterday ccsa messaged me asking me if the inside of your ears could sweat and i needed to google it up for her 😭😭 sorry ccsa /j

~ samoyed <3

OMG I'M SO HAPPY YOU LIKED IT 🥺🥺🥺 THE FACT YOU READ IT IS ENOUGH FOR ME <333333333

yes braces pain is brutal 😭😭😭 it's almost a week and i still can't anything except soft, almost liquified foods 💔

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT BEING TRILINGUAL IS SUPER SPECIAL??? IT'S AMAZING THAT MOST DESIS CAN SPEAK THREE LANGUAGES 🤩🤩🤩 the american school system sucks so bad omg why am i learning algebra when i could be learning 3 languages

YES OMG i can't read or write chinese characters but i can read pinyin, which just tells your which tone to use bc chinese has four main intonations and it's so helpful 😩 i took a chinese class in uni bc i wanted to learn how to read and write it and it was literally so hard?? my mom had to tutor me and i still did awful 💀 the only reason i passed with a good grade was bc 90% of the tests were speaking

my mom speaks cantonese too! she's so amazing she knows four languages 😌 i used to be able to understand it a little but now i'm totally clueless 💔

monthly motivational talk sounds brutal omfg 💀💀💀 no bc telling kids to study harder and stressing them out even more while giving them virtually no breaks is totally a healthy method of teaching 🥴 please make sure to take care of yourself, my love!! take hot baths and treat yourself to some really really good food 😤

yes being an english major is really fun!! i love reading classic books even if they're boring bc most of the time there's always a homoerotic subtext to them 😌 and it's really nice to see boomer profs get all flustered and uncomfortable when you bring it up during discussion 😩 i will say research paper season is BRUTAL though omg i had to write 40 pages worth of research papers in a month and it was awful

not me saying that like i didn't write a 22k fic in a week

i loved english in high school! idk if i loved it per se but i was really good at it and i loved the academic validation LMAO i also thought history was super interesting too! hated the tests though 💀 it was a college level course bc my high school offered dual enrollment classes for college credit so i actually had to study but i never did

omg wait a second. YOU ENJOYED MATH???? SAMOYED ANON WTF ARE YOU OKAY 😭😭😭 WHAT PART OF MATH DO YOU LIKE?? THE CRYING?? THE ERASER FLAKES ALL OVER THE PAPER BC YOU KEEP GETTING THE ANSWER WRONG?? THE RAGE???

wait i'm curious too do the inside of our ears sweat 😳
