"The World's Most Luxurious Garrote", my illustration of a particular scene from Alex's fic "Kid Gloves", part of a collaboration effort for the @bg3-winter-big-bang event.

☀️ Mod Spotlight: Alex (Writing)

Hi, I'm alex ( @aevallare | Bsky | Twitter ), and I'm probably the most annoying person you've ever met. I'm also your writing mod! ❤️

words posted: 10,164 (I cry because I wanted there to be more)

additional words written: 29,849 (almost half of this comes from snippets and scenes I wrote in my phone notes app)

grand total of words: 40,013

fandoms: BG3 (because I have blinders on)

highest kudos: i'll peel my heart like a pomegranate if you promise it won't go to waste - 130 kudos

highest hit oneshot: see above - 1,725 hits

new things I tried: I posted smut for the first time! I also started participating in group events, like server exchanges and bangs!

fic I spent the most time on: say yes, but only if you want to (because I started the second chapter, ripped it to shreds, started over and wrote more, ripped that to shreds, and now I'm about 4k words deep into the third attempt and I think when I finally go back to it I'm going to end up ripping it to shreds again)

fic I spent the least time on: what's one more mystery after all the rest? (a gift fic I wrote for @kittenintheden as part of @thekindredcollective's Fall in Faerûn prompt event)

favorite thing I wrote: say yes, but only if you want to (and I'm really surprised I'm saying that)

favorite thing(s) I read: Don't make me choose. I read so much, from so many wonderful authors. Here are my Ao3 recs. I reread many of them often.

writing goals for 2025:

write something every day (specifically something that makes me happy)

learn to write without stopping to edit along the way (because I am so bad at that right now and stopping slows me down so much)

new works:

i'll peel my heart like a pomegranate if you promise it won't go to waste

say yes, but only if you want to

what's one more mystery after all the rest?

This ain't much. But it's a start. Thank you for welcoming me with open arms when I got here. This was a creative outlet I thought I'd lost for good. I'm so glad I was wrong.

Rules: Make a 24-hour poll listing the titles of every WIP you want to work on. (It’s fine if you only have one, still make a poll for the vote count.) Whichever WIP title gets the most votes, write 1 sentence for every vote received.

@deadly-diminuendo, you're so sweet to me. Thank you for the tag!

Edit: @aevallare tagged me for this, too -- thank you so much!

Based. Simply based.

I too am a movie theater popcorn enjoyer. Do you get it with butter? I personally am not a fan of movie theater butter but the popcorn is always so fucking tasty.

9: A song that makes you happy

30: A song that reminds you of yourself

answered 9 here and 30 here

honestly now that I think about it EP. 4: Important is kind of both? just the joy of being small and free <3 it's also kind of the opposite of Creature by half•alive which is cool (it's a gorgeous song but its message so so deeply contradicts who I am as a person).
