nonesensed: My cat is a happy cat (Sebastian smiling)

Had to utterly disappear from the Internet and a number of events and hobbies to have the energy to complete my final work weeks, but now I've had a week of vacation time and am starting to feel human again, huzzah!

I've been extra bad at keeping up with DW, so anything posted after the start of June I'm still catching up on. But catch-up I shall 😊

My burnout got reeeeaaally bad (panic-attack-levels bad) but I'm recovering now that I'm off work and no longer in charge of hosting huge events. My plan for the rest of the year is to Chill The Fuck Out and take on 0 responsibilities outside of work, because I want to live past the age of 60...

On that note, I already feel much better πŸ’– I've had the energy to both finish playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (beautiful game, highly recommend!) and MANAGE TO WRITE SOMETHING AND POST IT!!!! I binged the TV adaptation of The Muderbot Diaries together with my sister yesterday and she gave me a story idea that I've now actually written πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ (set in book canon; I'm also working on a TV-canon fic~)

Maaaaan, but this year has rushed by in a whirlwind!!! I am so behind on so many things, but here’s a little wrap up post ✨ Hope everyone is having a good end of the year, whether you celebrate any particular holidays or not πŸ’–

First things first, the fics for the Yuletide Fic Exchange have been revealed 🀩 I got super lucky this year and got two wonderful Yuletide fics!!!

For the game Fear & Hunger I got this brilliant worldbuilding-by-historical-document fic:
Ales Bestia, or, the Winged Beast, A Broadside, written for the education and enlightenment of members of the Royal Knights of the Tomb of the Rondonian Empire. Written est. 1862, archived 1927.

For the book series Rook & Rose by M. A. Carrick, I got this wonderful post-canon look at what my favorite character Vargo might be up to:
disturbed circles, "The first thing to know is your tools," Vargo said. "Tell me what they are and why they're important."

They’re both exactly the kind of fics I wanted in those fandoms πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–

PS. I recently commissioned more beautiful artwork from my friend Linn, featuring the main character of my story β€œThe Crawling Dark of Your Lover” and his love interest. I’ve posted the artwork both on Blusky and on Tumblr, to share the beauty with the Internet 😁.

Despite this week being hell in a way (ongoing health scare in the family), I did manage to sit down today and finally finish a fic enough to post it over on AO3! Pretty happy about that πŸ’—

Series: Part 1 of The Oldest City
Summary:

The universe is a fragile, splintered thing, prone to branching off this and that way at the flap of a butterfly's wing. In one version of events, the Hiss invades the Federal Bureau of Control. In another, a man invents time travel and breaks time itself. In a third - or is it the first? - there's a lake that's an ocean.

In this version of reality, something different took the opportunity granted elsewhere to the Hiss. It caused a markedly divergent reaction from the Oldest House. It's quite the mess to clean up.

Unfortunately, this reality also has a lake.

Talk about a current fannish project:

Don't mind if I do~!

I have many, maaaany fanfics in the works right now, but the one I'm hoping to get really started on this week is an AU I call "The Oldest City". Like most of my writing projects do, this fic grew from a small "huh, I'd like to write this scene"-idea to "this is a series now, with at least 4 pars and a prologue" πŸ˜…

To summarize, I'm writing a sort of canon compatible AU of 3-4 video games: Alan Wake & Alan Wake II, Control and Quantum Break. I'm mainly doing this because I want to have an excuse for a bunch of interesting characters to be on a team together, solving a problem, and also, to write a whole bunch of UST-slowburn relationships that culminate in emotionally charged sex scenes 😁 Or, in some cases, to write sex scenes that culminate in emotionally charged relationships πŸ˜†

I'm really enjoying the setting I've chosen for the story. "The Oldest House" is the main area in the game Control, an impossibly large building of brutalist architecture that shifts its rooms around all the time. As you've likely guessed, I've taken that concept and blowing it up further, making it a whole city. Because it fit with the plot I thought up aaaand mostly because I thought it'd be neat.

My goal is to finish the first part of this fic series this weekend - wish me luck!

Like most fanfic writers, I have a million works in progress haunting my computer. Currently these are the ones that most inspire me to write. So, my fanfic writing goal of 2024 is to make some progress on all of them and to post at least two on AO3 😊

I love to talk about my WIPs, so if any one of them piques your interest, leave a comment and I'll rant about it 😁

Will update this list as I make progress. Last updated 2025-01-04.

Looking back at my to-do list for 2023 I feel pretty good with I accomplished! Though I wish I'd gotten more written. So! 2024 will be a year where I try to prioritize writing :D (and my own health - 2023 was rough when it came to stress). Will be posting my 2024 list soon :)

I got not one, but TWO lovely gifts for Yuletide this year! They're both in the Much Ado About Nothing (2011) fandom and they're brilliant <3<3<3

Links to fics:
- Contempt, Farewell
- by this day (she's a fair lady)


And I just remembered that lovely bingo card made by [personal profile] kingstoken so I managed to get that filled out today too:

Two super awesome fandom things have recently happened to me, in the Good Omens fandom:

1) Got a note the other day that [tumblr.com profile] lumidaub has made a German translation of my fic "Rude Awakening". How cool is that???

2) Speaking of cool, [tumblr.com profile] snek-panini has BOUND ONE OF MY FICS INTO BOOK FORM AND SENT IT TO ME!!! I HAVE MY OWN LITTLE FIC BOOK!!!! <3<3<3

In short, having a most excellent fandom week and I'm wishing these good vibes on everyone <3<3<3

Iceland was BEAUTIFUL and such an experience and now I am sooo tired and don't want to travel again for years to come XD My parents love to travel, like several people I know, but my sister and I are homebodies who'd prefer to not leave our apartments besides going to visit people we know. That said, I absolutely don't regret or mean to complain about having gone to Iceland!!!! I saw humpback whales! And puffins! And so many waterfalls! <3<3<3

And now that I'm back to 'regular life', I'm so hyped to do some more writing! I have a gazillion Good Omens fics in the works and I had plenty of brainstorming time at the hotels we stayed at, which led to me figuring out that several of my not-fic writing projects actually are set in the same second world universe :D So now there's this long, complicated timeline for several books I've barely finished plotting yet XD Which is good, really, since that means I don't have to edit them so terribly.

As a note to myself, the WIPs in question are, in timeline order:
"Mages & Marriage" -> Placeholder name: The Baron and the Prince -> Placeholder name: The Summit (brand new aro/aro relationship story idea with so much politics too :D) -> Placeholder name: Pride n Prejudice n A Wizard Did It + Placeholder name: Witches and Fae -> Placeholder name: Mystic Trio

Am hoping to spend next weekend mostly on writing, since this one I'm spending catching up with all the people I've not met all summer :D

In other news, I rewatched the 2011 staging of Much Ado About Nothing because I happened upon it in the wild and I find I must nominate it for Yuletide this year again~! I reread the glorious gift fic I got for that fandom last time I requested it and I Crave More XD

Also, people over on Tumblr are writing modern-AU-nerds!Jeeve & Wooster fanfic and I am rolling on the floor XD
