Read, reblog, and resonate!
OO a tag! Thanks, @aalinaaaaaa
So I don't have folders for my WIP, kinda. I have a notebook and a collection of templates from the writing site I write on that I slowly fill out. Anyway
Within my notebook!
Stars Of The Sky
God-named
Ancient Gods
A bunch of pages dedicated to individual gods
Template collection (That have a few things filled out)
Characters
World
Yeah I don't have much. This doesn't include the main document, and what things I do have filled out aren't complete. However, I have thoughts on various things for this story. I also have a pronunciation guide, but don't know why anyone would want to know how I think names should be said (Like Hades' family line, Ariea, is said Ah-ree-ah. I doubt anyone can see it, but it is not said the same as area.)
If we looked at Sightless... Well... there's the document it was written on? I did nothing planning wise for Sightless.
WIP Folder Tag
Thanks to @ruvastuon for the tag!
The premise is to post all the headings under the folder/section for your WIP, and people can send asks for the titles that interest them!
For this, I'm going to go a little left field. In the past, I've presented my Scrivener files for this game.
But for today's edition, you're getting the headings from my notebooks! Two of them, in fact 👀
One of them is for any time that I know I won't have my laptop with me/otherwise in easy reach, such as the train or on holidays.
The other is my notebook. Story ideas go into this one, including ones that are dripping in spoilers for a book that doesn't truly exist yet!

There's a few more entries after this, but they relate to Chapter Four/onwards-ish of A Healing for the Birds, some notes on a potential sequel (they're on the aftermath of the end of the first one!) and what Cerigo told Cheyoria after she came home the night of the ruined ceremony. Extremely spoilery stuff (ask if you want, but maybe do it off-anon or in a private message 👀😅)

Tysm @moonlightfrogsandkisses for tagging me!! :D
1.How many works do you have on AO3?
I have 4 so far! Working on my first au rn :)
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
Somewhere around 1500 I think? Probably a little less.
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Young royals :)
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
I only have four as of now, but ranked by kudos would be:
The Road We Take Funnily enough the first one I ever wrote.
As Darkness Falls I think this one just had to get out of my head, I'm not a huge fan of how I wrote it and looking back there are a LOT of mistakes but I'm keeping it online in case anyone likes it.
Where Soul Meets Heart Genuinely forgot that I wrote this :')
When Two Worlds Collide A space/sci-fi au I'm working on right now!
5. Do you respond to comments?
absolutely! (I accidentally ghosted like an entire fic once because I forgot about them, sorry!!! and responded like 2 months later) but yes definitely! I think it's really fun to see the perspective of other people on my stories, and they inspire me!
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I want to say Where Soul Meets Heart but realistically it's probably As Darkness Falls
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Definitely The Road We Take
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Nope! luckily not
9. Do you write smut?
no :)
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
Nope :D
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Nope :)
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Oooh not yet, but that does sound fun! I think I'd like to settle a bit more into my writing skills/style first tho. But I would definitely love to do that someday!
14. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
I don't have any (posted) as of right now. At least not any that I don't think I will finish. But I have so many ideas/scenes that I just can't figure out the right fit for if that makes sense? I'm thinking of posting a fic with just random WIPS though.
15. What are your writing strengths?
I like to think I write dialogue pretty decently? But all the fics I've posted now are my only experience so we'll see!
16. What are your writing weaknesses?
Probably making things sound smooth, or write how the characters feel in a smooth way. Sometimes I read a fic where people can describe certain emotions in such beautiful ways instead of "he was anxious" and I think that's so incredibly cool.
17. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
I definitely think it can be done right! But also in a way that doesn't pull you out of the reading experience because you don't understand what they're saying, if that makes sense?
18. First fandom you wrote for?
Young royals
19. Favorite fic you’ve written?
When Two Worlds Collide Which I'm working on right now. I think it's my first 'professional' fic if that makes sense? I proof read a lot more, am settling into writing, and I even managed to convince a friend to beta read!
Granted they watched the first few episodes so they don't really know when a character is out of character, but they have helped immensely on the rest of the writing or when I can't figure out certain sentences!
I’m also messing around a bit with world building and sketching/drawing things for a fic for the first time, so that's fun!
I haven't really connected with people on here yet, so I also have no idea who's been tagged, but I'll give it a shot. No pressure!:
