Year-end Writer’s Round-Up: 2020

Thank you for the tag, @musetta3!! (And your kind words about my story)

I will tag as many writers as I can think of: @r2smuse @tishinada @curiousthimble @razrogue @knightdawn @alxxiis @schrodingerthings @maraleesquill @themushroomqueen-ao3 @wardenari @fandomn00blr @ahufflepuffhobbit @archesa @oui-lele @odekiax @daedriclorde @pemfili and anyone who sees this and wants to do it! (I’m sorry I forgot you!!)

EDIT: None of these usernames are showing up as tags on my dash, yet when I go to edit the post, they DO show up. So I’m sorry if they aren’t working :( There appears to be nothing I can do to fix them.

Word Count:

343749

Not bad! Oh what am I saying; THAT’S INSANE!!! I’m genuinely shocked by that number. I know Laurie’s fic is 130k words long at present, and I finished the latter half of Casien’s book 3 this year, too, but still.

New things I tried this year:

Probably my most notable thing I tried this year was Laurie’s story, which is almost exclusively focused on romance (along with main character development). I was very nervous to write “just” a love story; I didn’t know if I had the ability to do so, and was extremely anxious about how to plot such a story. I pretty much just closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and started writing. It was really nerve-wracking because normally I have these big scenes in mind as I begin a long story, and this time all I had a was a balcony kiss scene...!

I returned to the DA fandom briefly with my Karl x Anders fic! I never felt like I fit in with DA fandom, not sure why. Unfortunately, the story wasn’t too successful, but I did get a few comments, and most importantly, I really had this sudden urge to write them together, and I did a rare thing: I gave in to the urge 😁 I’m pretty happy with how the fic turned out, though I don’t think my one-shot game is all that strong.

This year I also separated my one-shot collection into multiple collections, sorting them by pairing. In the Ulfrien collection, I’ve been editing every story, cleaning up typos, story inconsistencies, and just plain bad writing. I’ve also been giving the stories names! I deleted a few stories I didn’t care for, too.

Lastly, I drew outfits for my OCs! I realized one of my favorite things to do is imagine and describe the clothes (and armor) they wear. So I decided to try drawing it, too. I’m really proud of how they came out.

Fic I spent the most time on:

Laurie’s story, without question. I worked on it nearly every day of the year. There was a time after the first hurricane when I barely wrote at all. It was a very difficult time, but returning to writing, and to Laurie, actually helped me deal with all of that (or at least not think about it).

Fic I spent the least time on:

All of my one-shots are tied for this. I write all my one-shots in one sitting. It can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours.

Favorite thing I wrote:

Well there’s just no comparison to Laurie’s story (because otherwise all I have are one-shots). If I had a favorite chapter, though, it would be the first dancing chapter, when Falk admits his feelings and kisses Laurie for the first time. I really enjoyed writing his confession, how sweet and nervous he was, and how overwhelmed Laurie was... and how happy they both eventually became.

Favorite thing I read:

The Inevitable Love Story between Two Oblivious Idiots I’m pretty sure I read this one this year. I’ve read a LOT of bagginshield (it’s still 90% of what I read) but this one really stood out. The letters Dis and the others exchange back and forth are freaking hilarious.

It Runs in the Family Bilbo gets jealous of a handsome cousin who comes to visit. Said cousin seems to be attracting the attention of a certain dwarven king, and... this sounds really cliche and lame (because I am bad at summaries), but NO it’s really cute and hilarious!

A Handsome Stranger I ventured into a new fandom this past month: Cody x Obi-Wan !! 💗 This was a really cute fic, and I love AUs so much, not to mention slow burns... and although the time the passes is only a matter of days, we get to experience all these little moments between them, and it’s just great.

Something to Start With Whelp, yes, it’s another adorable bagginshield fic! And of course it’s a lovely slow burn. Read it!!!!

Writing goals for next year:

They are... ambitious 😱 I plan to write two long fics at once, the next Casien book and my new BG3 fic. I actually have more planned for the BG3 fic and am pretty excited about it, but very nervous to be breaking into a new fandom, too. BG3 fans are very knowledge about DnD and... I am not 😅 I also have a tendency to just make up my own lore. Forgive me in advance!!!

Casien’s story is more of an “I can’t quite you” situation. Should I really continue it? Honestly, the story probably should have ended with Book 3. But I really wanted to write Laurie... and now I really want to write them being friends together in Windhelm... also murder... (which I’m very nervous about because I’m not a mystery writer). And I still want to write them having adventures in Hammerfell. Sigh.

Lastly, COVID and the hurricanes put a massive damper on my original fiction plans. I did nearly finish the first pass of edits to Casien’s book 1, but obviously there is still a lot of work to be done. My goals are to COMPLETELY finish edits by the summer and pitch in the fall. Wish me luck!

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐕𝐄 & 𝐍𝐄𝐆𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐕𝐄; 𝘔𝘶𝘯 & 𝘔𝘶𝘴𝘦 - 𝘔𝘦𝘮𝘦.

fill out & repost ♥ This meme definitely favors canons more, but I hope OC’s still can make it somehow work with their own lore, and lil’ fandom of friends & mutuals. Multi-Muses pick the muse you are the most invested in atm.

𝐌𝐘 𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐄 𝐈𝐒: canon / OC / au / canon-divergent / fandomless /

Is your character popular in the fandom? YES / NO / IDK

Is your character considered hot™ in the fandom? YES / NO / IDK

Is your character considered strong in the fandom? YES / NO / IDK.

Are they underrated? YES / NO / IDK

Were they relevant for the main story? YES / NO.

Were they relevant for the main character? YES / NO / THEY’RE THE PROTAG.

Are they widely known in their world? YES / NO.

How’s their reputation? GOOD / BAD / NEUTRAL.

𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐓𝐋𝐘 𝐃𝐎 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐅𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐎𝐖 ‘ 𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍 ’ ? — I DO MY BEST. IT’S NOT EASY. IT’S REALLY NOT EASY. THERE’S TOO MANY INCONSISTENCIES. NASU WHY.

𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐋 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐄! 𝐀𝐤𝐚 𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐬. — I literally have no idea where to begin even describing Touko, because I’m just (waves hands around and flails them)!!! So to say, she’s one of the most powerful mages within the Nasuverse who literally can’t die even if she’s killed (sorry Shirou), has attained the highest ranking title in the Mages’ Association at a very young age (second youngest at 20, the record having been toppled by Kurogiri Satsuki), owns sports cars and a private jet/helicopter in her garage, can do literally anything and everything......if you can’t tell i really don’t know where to start she just popped out of absolutely nowhere and she has no chill whatsoever ;-;

𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐎𝐏𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐈𝐓𝐄, 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐨 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 (𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐦 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤?). — Mostly, it’s the confusion form canon’s side; is she nigh powerful, or is she not? Has she reached the color Red, or is she Orange? (inconsistencies with Alba’s and Francesca’s statements: Alba said she achieved Red, Francesca said she achieved Orange) Is Azaka more powerful than her, or has she achieved the Third Magic and is secretly the Third Magician? Material suggests that she’s not, but there are other works that show numerous people fearing the mere mention of her name, showcasing her boundless genius (revolutionizing modern Runecraft, reaching the pinnacle of magic, toppling the Rail Zeppelin, etc.)....Personality-wise, she’s not the best; I still can’t wrap my head around her personality switches with her glasses (on, and she’s the nicest person in the world, off and she’s meaner than Mean Girls), and even in the movies, it really doesn’t show much difference because she had her off-glasses personality on.....when she was wearing her glasses in the first place.

She also doesn’t know the meaning of moderation and she’s an overall jerk; just from a nickname, she killed someone at least 30 times before her younger sister had to intervene, killed a batchmate for the same reason, killed her younger sister’s friend as innocent battle collateral....oh, I could go on and on......but overall, she’s very, very inconsistent; unnecessarily extra. She’s like Rin but worse. It’s a headache keeping up with her.

𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐏𝐈𝐑𝐄𝐃 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐓𝐎 𝐑𝐏 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐄? — my first thought was bc she’s hot - JKJKJK

Seriously speaking, Touko’s very concept struck out to me as the most interesting among most media that deals with magic and special abilities (e.g. the mahou shoujo genre, Fate, etc.); Honda Takako (Touko’s seiyuu from the KnK movies) was known and said to ‘keep an otherwise extraordinary character grounded’, and I can’t agree more. Touko’s an incredibly overpowered individual who could very well be the most special snowflake in any media like the rest of the lot, but she portrays herself as the most modern lady around - she has an office job, dresses in button-up shirts and slacks, talks about every-day life and her past in a way that ordinary people can relate to (’rocket/push-up pencils’) and so on. The sense of normalcy to the point where she seems to be the most normal person (asides from Mikiya) around in comparison to her employees (not even Azaka can be seen as remotely normal) show that there’s a lot more to life than just being endowed with extraordinary things, because there’s a beauty in being simply ordinary.

come El-Melloi II and she’s not that normal no more my god woman make up your mind

𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐊𝐄𝐄𝐏𝐒 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐏𝐈𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐆𝐎𝐈𝐍𝐆? — i actually have boundless inspiration for her; she’s just that flexible to write omg....one time she can be serious and philosophical and another i can have her meme around as if she’s perpetually immature

𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋 𝐐𝐔𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐔𝐍

Give your mutuals some insight about the way you are in some matters, which could lead them to get more comfortable with you or perhaps not.

Do you think you give your character justice? YES / NO / IDK

Do you frequently write headcanons? YES / NO.

Do you sometimes write drabbles? YES / NO.

Do you think a lot about your Muse during the day? YES / NO.

Are you confident in your portrayal? YES / NO.

Are you confident in your writing? YES / NO.

Are you a sensitive person? YES / NO.

𝐃𝐎 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐀𝐂𝐂𝐄𝐏𝐓 𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐒𝐌 𝐖𝐄𝐋𝐋 𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐘𝐀𝐋 — I would very much like constructive criticism about Touko, simply because it’s such a headache deciding who on earth she actually is ;;; but so far, I’ve never gotten anything of the sort!

𝐃𝐎 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄 𝐐𝐔𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒, 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐏 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐋𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐑? — PLS ASK ME QUESTIONS ABOUT HER PLS MAKE ME WONDER AND THINK ABOUT THIS MESS OF A WOMAN

𝐈𝐅 𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐀 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍 𝐎𝐅 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐒, 𝐃𝐎 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐓 𝐓𝐎 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐖𝐇𝐘? — Mm! It’d be appreciated if the reason comes along with it automatically though; something like ‘oh, I disagree because (insert reason here)’ would be pretty good!

𝐈𝐅 𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐒 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐘𝐀𝐋, 𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐖𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐄 𝐈𝐓 ? — It’s okay, because to each to their own portrayal!

𝐈𝐅 𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘 𝐇𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐒 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐑, 𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐃𝐎 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐄 𝐈𝐓 ? — IC, it’s okay. OOC, it’s also okay, but please, don’t make it a groundless reason to send anon hate or anything like that ;;; Technically, even if anon hate is sent, I’d most likely just ignore it pff

𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐎𝐊𝐀𝐘 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐏𝐄𝐎𝐏𝐋𝐄 𝐏𝐎𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐌𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐋 𝐄𝐑𝐑𝐎𝐑𝐒 ? — Perfectly okay with it, although I’ve never been corrected on my grammar before....English is my first language, so I hope to not flop on it unless I’m drunk or sleepy.....

𝐃𝐎 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐊 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐘 𝐆𝐎𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐒 𝐀 𝐌𝐔𝐍 ? — i’m potete.

𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘵, 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘶𝘵!
