jajalalaACK I've been p absent from dw due to general busy-ness and some February blues, but I've been typing and typing, and finally finished typing up the last chapter of a fic I'm working on! It's a currently-posting multichapter with a buffer, so it'll be awhile before I actually get to post that final chapter, but that means I have some time to read through and edit those last chapters at a leisurely pace.
There was a final scene that I've been dying to write since the beginning, and as I was writing it out I literally started crying... which tbh is a lot of just me crying at the slightest provocation (if a movie's designed to make me cry, I'm all tears) but it felt cathartic! Hopefully when I reread to edit it'll still feel as moving XD. Endings are real hard, this one might seem too open-ended to some folks, but it resolves a central theme I've been hammering throughout, so I'm happy to end it on that note.
With that done, I'll finally be able to focus on some other fics guilt free... but there's a lot of directions to go! Currently....
I've signed up for one (1) event (FE3H femslash exchange) that will be due in March, so I need to keep an eye out so it doesn't sneak up on me, but luckily that would be just a oneshot.
There's another oneshot idea for Thirteen/Midnight (BNHA) which is on a somewhat darker/mature note, which I def would want to be a oneshot but might be a long one with a lot of scenes... I have a light outline.
Then there's a BNHA x Revolutionary Girl Utena crossover idea that I randomly outlined in a strange fit of energy last week, which??? Idk if it truly has legs, it's self-indulgent and hard to articulate, but I started writing the first chapter and am feeling it out (and it'd IN THEORY be a medium multichapter at 13 chapters with the current outline.... though it could accidentally expand if I'm not careful)
And in the back of my head I've had an odd BNHA concept involving Fuyumi and Dabi... I haven't written Fuyumi in a long while and I kind of miss her. The thing is, I have several interesting concepts and ideas for it, but not really a plot far beyond the premise... It'd also, by the nature of the concept and what I'm comfortable writing, be probably a purely-gen fic, no ships, which could be interesting for me to try out (I've explored gen relationships in fics that ALSO explore a ship, but never ONLY gen on it's own). Despite not having a super clear plot or anything, in my head this feels like a concept that would somehow expand into a multichapter, tho I'm not sure if it'd just be a couple to hit on those concepts I wanna explore or if it'll end up being something I expand to marinate in. IDK. I like it but need to sit down and roll it out a bit I think to get a sense of the scope.
I've also got two new fic ideas for my roommate's book, and I want at least one ready before the book release in May. One would be a porny oneshot, the other maybe a oneshot but maybe a multichapter. IDK I'll see but whatever happens, I want at least the porny one ready by late May.
ACK! It makes me a lil sad bc I love having long, rich plodding multichapters, and I think my next projects coming back to the front don't necessarily lend themselves to that, but it might be good to have a little drift time for awhile where I work on some relatively shorter things for awhile.
