Eli Writes Sometimes - Updated Intro/Masterpost

Hey! I've been here for a while, but my old intro post isn't amazing, so I've decided to make an updated one, especially as I've got better at using Tumblr since I made that post.

About me

My name is Elias, but I go by Eli most of the time

My pronouns are he/it, and I prefer to be referred to using masculine terms

I'm a trans demiboy, asexual and demiromantic

I'm a minor, so please be respectful of that

Where to find me

My Wattpad (I haven't got a lot posted there, but I'm going to post more there)

I have a shitpost/fandom blog at @eli-is-an-idiot

My NaNoWriMo profile

I'm currently sorting out Ao3, but when I do, I'll post a link to that

About this blog

As you might have guessed, this is a writblr!

I've been reblogging things about writing more than actual writing, but I'm hoping to change that and post more of my own writing

My WIPs are under the cut

I write a mix of things, but my current main WIP is a fantasy story

Not ok with:

Any kind of hate speech or prejudice

TERFS, transphobes, homophobes, ableists, racists or anyone that doesn't respect other people's existence

Bullying

Ok with:

Being tagged in tag games - I love these, and I want to try and interact with other people in this community more, so if you want to tag me in anything, please do!

On a similar note, feel free to send me asks or DMs about your WIPs or OCs, or just anything you want to talk about, I'm always happy to listen!

On the other hand, if you want to ask questions about my WIPs, I'd love that :)

Also, if you want to be mutuals, I'd love that and just follow me, and I'll check you out, I'd love to be more active in the community :)

Content warnings - heavy themes of death

Alya MacNamara has always been a pillar of their community, helping any kids who needed it with any of the problems life threw at them, so when he disappears, there isn't a soul that isn't devastated - but there's nothing they can do, right? But four of Alya's old kids don't accept this, and swear to find her - separately. The story follows these four as they realise that they aren't alone on the search, and as they try and get along with three others who they have nothing in common with except one person.

Based on my experiences as a closeted transmasc person at a scout camp

One of my favourite things that I'm working on

A young trans boy, Elliot, is forced to go on a week-long scout, being forced to live around girls thinking he's one of them, boys who surely won't accept him, and judging adults watching him all hours of the day. The story follows him as he tries to navigate this harsh environment, and survive until Sunday with his sanity.

Stories 7 Year Old Me Would Have Wanted

On hiatus, I want to return to it after NaNoWriMo

Genre - Short story collection

Status - One story posted, second one being drafted

Specific WIP tag - #S7YOMWHW

Chapter One posted on Wattpad HERE

About 25% of it is me judging my younger self

I recently found a book from when I was about 7 full of prompts and story ideas. I had tried to start writing in it but had always lost motivation, or stopped writing and forgotten the "great idea" that I had. So I'm going to share the prompt, what I wrote then, and what I'd write now.

Enjoy, I guess, and have fun laughing at me as a small child.

Jason King's Guide to the Supernatural

Intro post HERE

Genre - Comedic horror

Status - First draft

Specific WIP tag - #JKGTTS

When Jason King takes a job at a sketchy-looking paranormal investigation company, he’s just looking for anywhere that didn’t ask any questions about why his passport doesn’t match the name that he applied with, not somewhere to make any lifelong connections. He doesn’t know what to expect from being the newbie at Simon Warren’s P.I.S.S (Paranormal Investigation and Sightings Service) Hotline, but it isn’t two bored teenagers who are completely over the seemingly-commonplace supernatural happenings all around them. The story follows Jason as he tries to adjust to his new life as a paranormal investigator and tries to stay alive while combatting ghosts, demons and insane clients.

I'm probably not going to go back to this, I might, but it's been a long time

There's an author's note and a love letter posted on Wattpad HERE

This is a world of magic - everyone born with strange and dangerous abilities. When Caoimhe and Nyx meet, they are both hiding something. But will their friendship help them overcome the challenges presented by society, their families and, most of all, themselves?

That's all for now, thanks for bothering to read this far :)

without arts & crafts we are in hell

I have a new batch of children that WILL NOT LEAVE ME ALONE

so here is a shitty description of all of them, plus names

cuckoo - breaks the law for fun

elestial - many thoughts, head empty

maggie (magnolia) - *nerdy whining*

alex - pacifist fighter

ben (bendis) - if a mildly violent bard was born a healer

I am SO ATTACHED to ALL of them, but unfortunately they nor their world is fleshed out completely so EVERYONE has to wait
