I Love Metaphorically Rolling Up My Sleeves And Preparing To Write A Fanfic That Literally No One But

I love metaphorically rolling up my sleeves and preparing to write a fanfic that literally no one but me asked for.

Just a random fun fact about Aster: the last name they use is Phós. This is solely because, added to their first name, it makes their name translate from Greek as ‘starlight’ and I think that’s awesome.

I officially can’t call my g/t Ao3 my side account anymore. 100k+ total word count over 44 fics and all the stats are so much higher for this account. It’s really funny to me that this spiralled so far out of hand. I’m so proud of myself and it’s absolutely wild how quickly this eclipsed my ‘main’ work.

giving the borrower who lives in my kitchen food, not in the way you’d give a neighbor cookies or casseroles, but moreso in the way when you have a feral stray cat living outside in your carport who definitely would give you diseases and scars if you tried to touch it and absolutely loathes both your existence and the concept of being in a loving home but regardless you like to throw boneless chicken wings near it to hear it purr (it’s growling)

Another instalment of YCRBYCH, set during the main fic, before the translator is finished.

As a writer who doesn't often read other fics because of personal preferences, but also to focus on my own and spend a lot of time writing something completely to my own exact tastes instead I gotta ask

(This is specifically about long-fics, but short fics can work too)

Personally, I have specific preferences/squicks that make it hard for me to read certain things and prefer to write what I like instead of looking for it in other places (That's not to say that it can't be found! I just find writing it to be a lot more satisfying)
