Citadel Of My Thoughts

(original post here)

Share something that you're working on. A draft, a snippet, an idea you're currently vibing with. Give the people a peek behind the curtain. Hmm, there's my WIP The Baby Plot that I'm determined to complete this summer, but I think I'll talk about something(s) else for this, the plot bunnies gnawing most at my ankles, vying to be the thing I next work on: My as yet unposted first RWBY fic, For Want of a Nail, currently an around 55,000 word rough draft written mostly in the last two weeks of July 2023 and first week of August 2023. I usually manage about 10,000 words in month, to give an idea of what those two-three weeks were like for me. Why haven't I posted it yet? It needs more work, and I've had other fics demanding my attention. The inline link goes to art I commissioned of a scene from it, and that sneak peek scene is included with the art (written by me, not the artist). Fair warning that it's a dark fic with some fluffy scenes, and that is one of the fluffy ones. There's also my exploration of what Maiden!Yang would be like if it happened, Not Your Sacrifice, and that's very much not fun for her or her loved ones, but hopefully will be rather more fun to read. Also there's Yellow Beauty Burns Gold, about a headcanon of mine that it's Yang's Semblance that turns her hair golden blonde, and if she doesn't use it for long enough it'll fade back to the black inherited from Raven. Incidentally there's at least several months where she doesn't use it after Volume 3... (And there's the top secret thing to get revange! on @starlightsaphron, she knows what she did, and I haven't forgotten (alas, I need brainbleach) or forgiven. I think it'll end up being posted as 'Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings' because I don't know how else to make sure there's no spoilers in the warnings and tags. I'm assured it sounds painful by a certain someone I discussed the idea with :3)

AND/OR Share a work in progress from someone else that you're excited about. Talk about what you're looking forward to or hoping for. Give the creator a shout out or a pep talk. @electronicyarn's A Different Shade of RWBY. There's many things I'm looking forward to but most of all more Bees! Yes, Yarn, I know there's just been some, however there was Bees withdrawal for so long, and I can never have enough Bees! More, pretty pls!

AND/OR Tell a creator directly that you love their WIP and why you love it - either in a comment or an ask or in tags on a post. Yarn again, just to keep things simple, because I'm pretty sure I already do that by commenting on Shade.

BONUS: share a prompt that you're never going to fill yourself (for whatever reason) and tell folks to run with it. Quite simply because I'm highly unlikely to write anything that isn't Bees or Yang centric: Qrow Branwen searching for his potential offspring after learning his vasectomy healed itself.
