Thank you to @haztobegood @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed @justalarryblog @uhoh-but-yeah-alright @loulovehome and @jacaranda-bloom for tagging me in this! I loved reading all your posts!!

1. Number of stories posted to AO3: 15 (half of all the fics I've ever posted!)

2. Word count posted for the year: 178.735 !!!

3. Fandoms I wrote for: One Direction, Lewis Capaldi, But I'm a Cheerleader

4. Pairings: 1D Pairings: Harry/Louis, Lewis/Niall, Zayn/Liam, Niall/Golf But I'm a Cheerleader Pairings: Jan/Sinéad, Megan/Graham

5. Story with the most:

Kudos: Lies & Liability (280)

Bookmarks: Lies & Liability (145)

Comments: like cranberries on a winter evening (247 as of now. which. insane!!)

6. Work I’m most proud of (and why): I think I'll never be as proud of anything as I am of The Journal. I'm putting this under the cut because it's incredibly personal, but Lynda asked me to finish this fic for her when she first got ill. It was early December and I was still hopeful that the treatment would work and she would get better and be able to finish it herself. Then she got COVID and the aftermath of that really had her health declining more rapidly than any of us expected. She asked me again, to finish her story some time in January I believe, and it hurt so much to think about the fact that she herself felt that she would never be able to do it alone that I put it off again. When I finally came to terms with the fact that she was right, I put off everything else and dove head-first into this fic and made it as much of a love letter as I could.

The fic itself deals with themes of illness, eternal life, reincarnation... And it was my way of telling Lynda that she would be an eternal force in this Universe. I'm more grateful than anything for the fact that I finished it in time for her to still be able to read it. Everything I write is for her, sometimes consciously, sometimes unconsciously.

7. Work I’m least proud of (and why): I don't have anything I wrote that I particularly dislike, but maybe A Burnt Child Loves the Fire isn't my best? It's only 100 words though so I guess there's not much about it to either love or hate.

8. Share or describe a favourite review you received: All the comments I got on like cranberries on a winter evening throughout December were absolute magic. I can't thank everyone who read that story enough.

I recently shared the comments @zanniscaramouche left on Lies & Liability and But I’m the Quarterback. They are probably the longest and most thorough comments I've ever received and I love them a lot.

9. A time when writing was really, really hard: When it felt like I was running out of time to say goodbye to one of my dearest friends, but I just wanted to do her justice and make the story she'd started the best that it could possibly be. Sus and Tabby were there for me and I'm eternally grateful for that.

10. A scene or character you wrote that surprised you: The entirety of across the river is where my heart is. I wrote this for @wordplayfics after I had just painstakingly finished Lies & Liabilty for the ABO fest and I saw the prompt "divide" and sent @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed a voice note rambling about a dystopian girl!direction AU that I desperately wanted to write. Mia told me to relax and that it sounded like a huge fic to write in a week, in response to which I rationalized it down into four 2k scenes and then this happened.

Turns out... I wrote pretty much exactly 8k that week and managed to fit the entire plot into that wordcount. Go me! It's one of my favourite fics I wrote this year!

11. A favorite excerpt of your writing: This is very hard to choose. I'll go with this from The Journal and it's one of the flashback scenes that Harry lives through to understand what's going on in his present.

“It can only work if you both are willing to give your life for it,” a man with sharp features says, a barely audible accent to his words, amber eyes scanning Harry and the man next to him. His dark hair is fashionably parted on the side of his head, but Harry feels there is something ancient about him. His suit is cut just like his own, but the fabrics seem different, somehow iridescent. His waist coat is made of finer silk than Harry has seen in these parts of the world, and embroidered in such bright colors that Harry has a hard time keeping himself from reaching out to feel the threads underneath his fingertips and see if they might come away stained.

“To reiterate,” the man next to Harry starts then with a sharp voice. “We’re both willing, but only one of us will actually give his life.” He grabs his hand and Harry’s immediate instinct is to pull away—they are in somebody else’s home after all—but a small caress on top of his thumb reminds him that it’s okay. That this strangely alluring man is here to help them.

“Even if we both have to give it now, we will do it,” Harry hears himself say. And he looks around the room, trying to see if anything about this stands out to him as fraudulent. He can barely make out anything in the faint candle light, but his eyes are drawn to an ancient looking silver brooch on their vis-á-vis’ jacket: a serpent wrapped around an egg.

“No, we will not,” the man to his left tugs on his hand and makes him turn, tries to get him to look up at him. Harry has to remind himself of what he just said. He’s willing to die for this person. He shifts his weight and feels that he’s missing his shoes, socks digging into soft carpet. Right. The stranger had asked them to remove their shoes at the door.

Harry’s breath is almost knocked out of him when he looks up at his lover, when he sees the fire in those steel blue eyes. His delicate, rounded brows are furrowed and his thin lips pressed together, agitated. Harry reaches out, touches his fingers to the side of his man’s face and caresses it gently.

“Yes, we will,” he says, while looking into those furious eyes, withstanding their fire like only he can.

“I see there will be no problem with the willingness of either of you.” There’s an audible smirk in the sorcerer’s voice as he says it. “But I can give you no guarantee that you will return soon after your death, Sir Tomlinson.”

“What we are here for is not a quick fix, Lord Malik,” Sir Tomlinson says then. He visibly has a hard time turning away from Harry, but he does. He looks at Lord Malik. “I want Harry to live a full life before returning to me.”

“Ah,” the sorcerer says knowingly. “But he may live many lives before he finds you. And each will make his task more difficult.”

12. How did you grow as a writer this year: I wrote A LOT this year, for my measures anyway. And as I did that, I realized that my dialogue and pacing improved with each new story.

This year was also the first time I ever published any kind of smut, and going into that was terrifying, but I felt that it was very rewarding in that I had breached a subject that used to be a big, terrifying wall I thought I'd never conquer. I don't think many of my fics will have smut in the future, but it's something that I can now deal with when the story happens to call for it, or if I just feel like it!

13. How do you hope to grow next year: Next year is a terrifying, but exciting prospect for me. I plan to focus more on my career and start a business, so I will definitely have to take a step back from writing, but I hope I can still go on with it despite that. I haven't signed up for any fests or challenges because I don't know if I will be able to keep any deadlines, but I have a few ideas that I want to make reality. I guess my hope for next year is to grow into a writer that doesn't stress so much about writing, but I don't know how attainable that is.

14. Who was your greatest positive influence this year as a writer (could be another writer or beta or cheerleader or muse etc etc): There are many people that influenced and inspired me this year. The ever-growing and deepening friendships I developed with @lululawrence and @fallinglikethis throughout the year gave me a lot of strength and helped me a lot with the grief I went through.

@so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed was a constant, ever-encouraging and wonderful partner-in-crime. I can't explain how much I needed you this year and how thankful I am to have you.

Having mentioned Mia, I can't gloss over the wonderful, insanely talented @jacaranda-bloom, and everyone else who is a writer on my discord server who has written with me and shared their struggles and achievements.

15. Anything from your real life show up in your writing this year: Oof. Always. I think that Harry's struggles with his faith in But I’m the Quarterback were something that I needed to reflect on personally. Obivously, the entirety of The Journal is incredibly personal on all levels.

16. Any new wisdom you can share with other writers: Write what you want, not what you think others will like. Write because you enjoy it, have fun with it, even if you think it's ridiculous and weird and nobody will want to read it. Not everything has to be literally based in experience, your characters and scenery will always contain enough of you to make anything true to yourself if you allow them to take on the many facettes you have as a writer.

17. Any projects you’re looking forward to starting (or finishing) in the new year: I have another couple bonus chapters of my advent fic like cranberries on a winter evening that I want to write at the beginning of the year and then I have another country fic planned (based on Orville Peck's version of Fancy), even though I don't know if I'll be able to run the @1dcountryfest again next year. I also had a LOT of fun with the advent fic so I might try that again next year. And I have my Bartender WIP from a couple years ago that I haven't touched in a long time. I don't think I'll run out of ideas.

18. Tag some writers whose answers you’d like to read: I'm super late with this one but I'll tag everyone I've mentioned already as well as @disgruntledkittenface @hazzabeeforlou @cowboylarries @homosociallyyours @lightwoodsmagic @londonfoginacup and anybody else who feels like doing this!

- 2021 WRITING SELF EVALUATION -

Thanks for the tags @kingsofeverything @boosbabycakes28 @wabadabadaba @disgruntledkittenface @quelsentiment @ladyaj-13 @haztobegood @solvetheminourdreams @whatevertearsyou @lt2soon @uhoh-but-yeah-alright !

1. Number of stories posted to AO3:

6 (one is anon sooo it's not listed)

Hometown

Fakes (Streaming Live)

Only

Unraveled

Rapture

2. Word count posted for the year: 64228 (trying not to be too sad about this, but it's the least fic I've written since 2016. blah.)

3. Fandoms I wrote for: One Direction

4. Pairings: Louis/Harry

5. Story with the most:

Kudos: Only

Bookmarks: Only

Comments: Only

6. Work I’m most proud of (and why):

Probably Unraveled. My favorite thing to do in writing is write something new to me. I've always been like this by the way in like everything I've ever done in my life. lol. If it's not a challenge, I'm not that proud of it. Also, I can't even believe that fic got written when my life was/is such a dumpster fire. Anyway, I really impressed my beta and I live/write for her approval.

7. Work I’m least proud of (and why):

This is the first year ever where I'm truly proud of every fic I wrote...in the year I wrote the least. Oof. What does that say about me? Let's pretend it means nothing.

8. Share or describe a favorite review you received:

This was for Unraveled :

this was so entertaining! i really like action in fics and i think you did a wonderful work with this one. i’m sure it took a lot of research but feel proud because the result was amazing. the only thing missing was popcorn but maybe when i reread it. i remember when you told me about this prompt and i’m very happy that you could work with it in the way you did. i admit that i don’t always go for older louis/older harry fics, but to be honest your characterisation was so on point that i forgot about my preferences for a second and i just let myself enjoy. and the sex scenes were so hot. reading this felt like those first times that i read smut, when i would blush instantly because everything felt so new. that’s how this felt, very fresh for me. also! you got me there with the two bad guys. i, for a moment, thought that ****took out the spoiler lol**** had something to do with it too. the way everything developed was so intriguing, and i wanted to know more and more. i think that’s fantastic in a fic. anyway, i feel like i’m just saying obvious things at this point. thanks for sharing your story with us! and thank you because today was particularly hard for me, mentally, but your story put me back into my safe place that is fan fiction.

9. A time when writing was really, really hard:

Um, this entire year? I think what's most depressing about it for me is that I am full of ideas and inspiration and motivation to write. But I don't have time to do it. I just don't. Fucking Covid.

10. A scene or character you wrote that surprised you:

Irene, an OC for Only. I had an entirely different character planned even with a different name. And I started writing the first scene of this fic and Irene showed up out of nowhere and started talking. I always know when that happens to just go with it, and of course, she ended up being the perfect character for the fic.

11. A favorite excerpt of your writing:

Basically anything from Unraveled, maybe in particular the action/violence scenes. I kind of surprised myself when I was writing them because they turned out just how I wanted.

And here's something from Rapture which published today...

The snow fell softly around Harry as he trudged through the muck and slush on the London streets. If he had turned his face to the sky, perhaps he would have admired the way the snowflakes fell past the gas lit street lamps, but his eyes saw only the sludge at his feet. Misery rather than cold hunched his shoulders, keeping his eyes trained to the mud under his boots.

If Harry had been human, even the expensive leather boots on his feet and heavy coat would not have been able to keep out the chill. However, that was not an issue for him any longer and hadn’t been for many a year. He wore them now only so as not to draw unnecessary and unwanted attention to himself.

As he passed pubs and churches, music filtered out into the streets. Festive music, the worst sort to his mind, reminded him only of that which he would never have again. Christmas had come and gone and the new year was nearly here, and he would spend it in lonely solitude yet again. Instead of dwelling on that kind of remembrance, he focused on the sound of his boots as they squelched through the filth.

Later in the night Harry would roam through dark alleys to feed where the foul stench of the miserable gathered. Only one reason, one person, drew Harry from his home at this particular time of the evening, when the grey day gave way to darkness.

12. How did you grow as a writer this year:

I always have some personal goals in my writing that generally have to do with trying to write something new or in a new way. So this year I worked on writing better descriptions. Not necessarily more description, but just better. I tend to rely heavily on visual description, so I tried to incorporate more sound and touch and feel into my descriptions. For Unraveled I changed up my natural pacing to fit the themes of the fic, and that worked out better than I expected really.

13. How do you hope to grow next year:

One thing that I'd like to do next year (that I did this year) is to only write things that feel like the right kind of challenge for me. I might publish a few more anonymous fics as well. It felt very freeing for me to publish a fic anonymously this year.

14. Who was your greatest positive influence this year as a writer (could be another writer or beta or cheerleader or muse etc etc):

Always @taggiecb. Her feedback is what keeps me writing. Her input is truly invaluable to everything that I write. She knows my writing better than I know it myself, and she's my biggest cheerleader in basically all areas of my life not just writing.

15. Anything from your real life show up in your writing this year:

It always does to some extent, but I think this year I really veered away from it more than I ever have before. I was more interested in writing anything but reality this year lol.

16. Any new wisdom you can share with other writers:

I always say the same crap. And I've got nothing new this year either, I'm afraid. Keep writing and keep reading. That's all I've got.

17. Any projects you’re looking forward to starting (or finishing) in the new year:

I may or may not write a wip. Maybe more than one??? I'm thinking of writing a wip based on a drabble I wrote years ago for @becomeawendybird that I still think about, The Duke's Diamond. Also, I'm now an admin on @hlficlibrary so I've been working on some ideas for that blog! I want to do monthly fic recs and monthly moodboards/fic trailers. Be sure to tag us for reblogs on your Larry fics! I'll probably continue to do a lot of fic fandom stuff because it's fun for me and I want to be as supportive as possible to the fic writers in our fandom!

18. Tag some writers whose answers you’d like to read.

I'll tag: @zanniscaramouche @mercurial-madhouse @absoloutenonsense @becomeawendybird @jacaranda-bloom @skipperxao3 @cyantific @loulovehome @sun-tomato @2tiedships2 @princelyharry if you haven't already and want to!

Also here are some of mine from past years that I found! 2016 2017 2019 2020

Fic Writer Questions!

Thank you for tagging me @alienfuckeronmain!

1) How many works do you have on AO3? 45

2) What’s your total AO3 word count? 263,147

3) How many fandoms have you written for and what are they? I’ve tagged 9 fandoms on ao3, but really it’s more like 2 because a lot of the fandoms are 1d-adjacent.

4) What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Nailed By Louis

The Prince and the YouTuber

Take On Me

Making Waves

To Wear Your Love

5) What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

So far, it’s my Zouis spy fic because it still has an ambiguous ending, until I can finish writing the rest of the story.

6) What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

I love a good happy ending, so almost all of them! One of my favorite endings I’ve written is for my alpha!Niall/beta!Greg James fic, Now All The Clouds Been Lifted because it wrapped up the fic so nicely and was inspired by something Greg actually posted on instagram.

7) Do you write crossovers? If so what is the craziest one you’ve written?

Love and Other Antidotes is the only one so far! I wrote it as a pinch hitter for the Disney Direction fest. It’s a modern Emperor’s New Groove au with Harry/Louis, but kept Kronk and Yzma as characters! It was incredibly fun to step into a cartoon world and I was so impressed at how it all came together.

8) Do you write smut? If so what kind?

Yes, sometimes. I’m currently working on part 3 of the pearls series, but I’m really struggling to find any motivation to write the smut part of the pwp 😅

9) Do you respond to comments, why or why not? I do respond to comments, but I usually leave them in my inbox for a bit and savor them.

10) Have you ever received hate on a fic?

I haven’t, but I have had a couple of people leave some meh comments in the bookmarks

11) Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I don’t think so

12) Have you ever had a fic translated?

No, I personally don’t allow translations

13) Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Nope, my motivation to write is not very consistent so I would be nervous to

14) What’s your all time favorite ship?

I’m pretty one-track-minded when it comes to fandoms and 99.9% of fic I read/write is from 1D fandom. I mostly read/write larry fics, but have started to embrace rare pairs in the past few years!

15) What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

I have 3 main ideas that come to mind

Calling For You - this is the very first larry fanfic I started to write back in 2017, but I never figured out the main conflict so it’s just an outline of random notes

Holy Water Flows - I started plotting this long, intense larry sick!fic based on a prompt I got from the 1000 feelings challenge, but the fandom’s view of several tropes I planned to include scared me away from actually writing it

Covid Island Research Fic - this would be a gender-swapped larry fic with biologist!Louis and geologist!Harry living on a remote island throughout 2020 to avoid the pandemic while Louis monitors the nesting of the endangered seabirds and Harry researches the increasing erosion that is threatening the island.

16) What are your writing strengths?

I’m usually great at writing dialogue between characters and I love coming up with crazy and ridiculous plots.

17) What are your writing weaknesses?

I always forget to track the characters’ motivations and emotions. Sometimes I get stuck on a scene and have to just sit and think until I figure out why a character is doing X so that I can get them to Y.

18) What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

I would try to avoid it unless I had help from someone that actually spoke the language.

19) What was the first fandom you wrote for?

The first fic I posted was for 1d but I had one fic for the phandom that I wrote and didn’t post

20) What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

I love so many of my fics for different reasons! But I’ll pick one to share. Changing Weather (For Worse or For Better) is a 5+1 times fic and I got one of my favorite comments ever on it! Someone mentioned that the weather is a character in this fic, and I didn’t realize until they pointed it out, but the weather is so integral to the fic, it really is like its own entity.

Thanks for reading all the way to the end!

I tag @uhoh-but-yeah-alright @beelou @crinkle-eyed-boo @evilovesyou @laynefaire @daggerandrose @runaway-train-works @reminiscingintherain @lululawrence @louandhazaf @kingsofeverything @allwaswell16 @fallinglikethis @disgruntledkittenface @zanniscaramouche @mercurial-madhouse
