TNKT's main blog

1) I have not stopped writing for the Detroit: Become Human fandom. While I am a lot less active than before on social media, I'm still a fan, and I still love the characters. If you check my AO3, you'll see that I continue updating some of my fics, even thought my schedule is more stretched out than it used to be and can get really sporadic at times.

2) I still intend to continue GM,L one day. I have a lot of stuff planned for the second installment and I don't want to go in half-cocked, at the risk of burning myself out and stopping midway, and then truly never finishing it.

3) I have a full-time job now, which I didn't have when I was writing the 600k of GM,L's first volume. This means that I have less time and energy to indulge in fanfic, especially given that I don't get anything tangible from writing it (read: no money, which is kind of a big deal in the real world), except for when I do commissions, which I only got a demand for once. No bills get paid that way. This job also means that I have more responsabilities. All of this puts the brakes on my productivity/creativity.

4) I have been considering the possibility of publishing my own stories one day. It used to be just some fantasy, but then I met the writeblr side of Tumblr, and since then I've given it more serious thought. Consequently, nowadays I'm divided between writing fanfic (which I still very much enjoy, especially considering that I have readers who like what I do) and writing my own content (which I also enjoy because they're my own characters, and imagine if I do publish one day! How glorious). So, less time for fanfic.

5) The way I envision my future (and I realllly hope it will unfold that way) is this: in the following years I'd like to write the "lighter" fanfics like my alternate universes for example (because they generally contain less subplots and less convoluted storytelling than GM,L), and focus on my original content. Once I get a stable job, I'd like to find work which would allow me a more easy-going rythm and more free time for hobbies, and there I'd find the time to write GM,L's second volume and my stories in general. But all this is hypothetical, so who knows when I'll get back to GM,L. It could be later or it could be earlier than planned. At any rate, never doubt that I would 100% warn you if anything changed with the GM,L situation.
