The Author of that one Obsessed Fic

Finally getting around to making this! Hello all, my name is Springwood (I also occasionally refer to myself as "The Author"), and I like to write fanfiction! You may address me with any pronouns. My current big project is Obsession, linked here:

My inbox is always open, and you may send me whatever you wish! Headcanons, ideas, theories, thoughts, or whatever comes to mind! Even a keysmash is much appreciated. I will try to answer in a timely manner, but I do get busy at times and can't always stay on top of things.

I am not able to take fic requests at this time, but I CAN answer questions about my existing stories or provide headcanons! Hell, you're free to send me ideas regardless-- I'd love to continue writing for horror mods once "Obsession" is finished, even if I don't know much about which ones are popular currently!

Here are some links you may find useful;

Hello again! Sorry for the recent radio silence-- I've been, uh, really busy! Worry not, Obsession isn't on hiatus, and everything is progressing as it should. But I figured I should probably make an update post so you guys know what's up!

TL;DR so you don't have to listen to me yap-- the ending for Obsession will be posted in the middle of May.

But for those who'd rather hear the full story--

I'm not sure how obvious I've made this fact, but Obsession was always intended to have multiple endings. Three, to be exact. Two smaller, supplementary endings, and then one long, canon ending. Though I originally intended to post one ending in March and the other in April, with the canon ending coming out in May due to its length, I decided that I didn't like how it would look if I released them apart from one another. In my mind, there is only one way the story could end, and having one of the noncanon endings come out so much quicker than the canon ending didn't feel right to me.

So what that means is, sometime in the middle of May, all three endings will be posted back-to-back. I have an epilogue planned to release after that, but I don't anticipate that it will take too long, so I'm hoping to get it out at the end of May or beginning of June.

As for where I've been! I don't think I've ever mentioned it here, but I've recently been very busy. Big life events and all that. My schedule won't stay this busy for forever, but it's definitely gotten in the way of me getting the time to write. That is why I can't get Obsession out any sooner than May-- I am very sorry about that.

But I can at least promise that I WILL be finishing it in May. (No more year-long waits for you guys, haha.) Obsession has been a very important project of mine, and I want the ending to be as perfect as I can make it. I'm so excited to finally having this story conclude, and I do hope at least that some of you will find it worth the wait. ^^

I first discovered you from "IDK Someguy's" channel, I've been looking for your tumblr idk why I didn't just check you profile.

your "obssesed" fic is my fav I've reread it like 20 smth times now

you have inspired me to continue my own "fanfics". I'll start a story randomly in the middle, the beginning or, even the end. and I think for the first time I'm gonna full fledge it

ty for all of you hard work and dedication. it has encouraged me to follow your foot steps 🤧😭🫶✨️

Hello!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am honored to hear that you consider me an inspiration, that means so much to me!!! Hearing that something I've written has gotten other people to start writing their own things is always just-- I don't think I could possibly express just how amazing it is that people look at my work that way.

Honestly, starting fics in the middle or end is super fun!!! Sometimes I'll get a random scene idea that I think is really cool and rush to write it down, and then end up writing something around it. It really helps me work on future chapters by writing down scenes in advance, and I'm gonna be so honest, at least one chapter in Obsession only exists because I got a really good idea and restructured the second half of the story to work around it.

Wait but relatable?

HI I KNOW I'M GETTING TO THIS SUPER LATE

SORRY ABOUT THAT

ANYWAYS THIS IS AMAZING AND I LOVE IT, LEGITIMATELY STARTED CACKLING WHEN I OPENED MY INBOX

Deadass the thought of The Obsessed daydreaming over protecting Theodore PLUS Theodore being smitten over him is SENDING MEEEEEEE

The little detail of Theodore holding that flower is so fuckin' cute tbh, The Obsessed just wants him to show it that he loves it the same way it loves him HBSJDGDFD

(Also, I really like the way you draw The Obsessed, those spines are a SUPER neat detail!!!)

HFHEDE GOOOOODODNEEESSS IT SJSHH AAAAA I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO DESCRIBE IT IN WORDSAAA SUSHSBHAHDHDUDH EARED TJTJRJFJFJ TJTJRJFJFJJTHG

hbBHJEBVRHJHVJRBHCEJKNCBJRBHR HI I LOVE THIS ASK

DO NOT WORRY YOU DO NOT NEED TO SAY WORDS

A KEYSMASH WORKS FINE

Helloooooooooo!!!!!!!!

Normally I try to keep Theodore's design vague so that people can project their own face onto him, BUT I am all too happy to describe some of how I see him!!! (And have some of his canonical design attributes put in one place, because like. I know I've mentioned some things in the confines of the fic itself but those details are spread out over the current 60k+ word count LMAO.)

His hair is an auburn color, I've always described it as the color of the (Minecraft) redwood tree bark. He shaves pretty frequently, but he tends to have a bit of stubble. As for clothes, his "main" outfit for me is a red buffalo plaid flannel, navy blue jeans, aaaand a green jacket of an indeterminate model because I don't know much about jackets. It's one of those that's super durable and meant to last, good for woodsy-type shit ya know. And though he's a long sleeves kinda guy, he DEFINITELY has some scars from the shit he's been through in the Redwoods.

He's almost always carrying around his axe-- it used to be a normal gray one until the Obsessed replaced it (which was admittedly inspired by the look of the Netherite axe haha). But like, other than that, I'm not sure if there's anything else? This fanart someone made of him gave him a little pendant around his neck as a protective charm, which I think is REALLY cool. My man needs more accessories, I really like the idea of him wearing more and more odd things the longer he stays in the Redwoods.

But honestly, the first rule of Theodore's design is "have fun and be yourself"! (The second rule is give him red hair LMAO.) I've purposefully avoided sharing my faceclaim for him, because I feel it would take away from his character, in a sense? Like if I gave him a canon face or look, it might make it more difficult for people to imagine him while reading. I dunno! But any outfit/face headcanons are always accepted and appreciated. ^^

anyways sorry for that paragraph of dumb questions :3

Hi!!! This is... FAR too late to be considered reasonable, but who knows! If I can return to update a fic, maybe you'll see this haha.

All forms of fanart-- headcanons, art, edits, animations, trends-- are ABSOLUTELY accepted and adored wholeheartedly!!! Whatever you guys do with the Theodore and Obsessed, I don't care HOW small or silly you think it is, show me!!! Please show me!!!!! It brings me life!!!!!

Hello!

Sorry to respond to this nearly a year later, it's taken me a bit to get back in the swing of things! I'm so glad you're enjoying "Obsession", please do feel to share any songs you feel remind you of them! I'm always on the lookout for songs to add to their official playlist, it's much too small haha.
