Hi friend!!

Fun fact I can not easily come up with titles. I'm considering just leaving this fic named just that. "Untitled Christmas Fic."

Anyway.

So what is this fic about? Bilbo is a baker and has been baking since he was twelve. After his recent breakup, Gandalf, ever the meddler, signs him up for his dream Christmas baking competition. That is, of course, in Erebor, with the king himself judging.

Here is a little snippet:

Getting to the town square was slow going. Balin had made sure to leave a carefully drawn map on the bed, right beside his suitcase, so finding his way wasn’t the issue. The streets were. It seemed to have snowed while he was in his (admittedly long) shower, and the streets were snowed over and in some places, patched over with ice.

Thank you @wordsofwilderness for the tag!! I love this so much!

Rules: list of the wips you are currently following along with/subscribed to

The fact is, I haven't been reading a lot. I've mostly been working on my works whenever I have time (finals am I right?)

so here is my very short list:

Golden Hearts Bleed Faster by Mithrilhearts

As the Tide Turns by Mithrilhearts

Dear Mister King Under the Mountain by joyusboyus

Since I have no idea how these WIP games work, I'll just send this ask and if I'm doing it wrong, you can tell me! :D

Since you are currently only writing one Quiobi fic, let's start with that one! What is it about? What era or place have you set it in? What do you especially like about it? And because it is Christmas time, tell us something about the Xmas Baggingshield you are working on! What era or and country have you set it in? Are they falling in love or are they an established couple already? Will you dedicate it to a Christian friend of yours?

I hope you enjoy writing them! <3

Hi friend!!

Ok, let's address the elephant in the room. I only put one Quiobi fic in there, but in reality, I have been working on another one on and off for years (since 2021) called "Forever & Always." And I have concepts of another one (a christmas one) in my head (still untitled).

That being said, let's talk about concepts of you (the one I did put on the WIP game).

What is it about? Each chapter will begin with a small phrase. Example: "A concept of you: The warmth of the idea of a star." Then I under that a luttle 1000 word story of how Obi-wan 'came up' with the concept which he writes down on flimsi.

When/where is it set? When: After Obi is knighted. He and Qui are assigned by the council to work together. Where: Too many places, it's driving me insane (in a positive way).

What do I like about it? It allows me to be somewhat poetic.

Noe for the Xmas Bagginshield fic (which also has no title).

It is set in the current era, and I'm setting it mostly in Erebor. They are falling in love. Thorin is the king who is one of the judges of the baking competition Bilbo is participating in. I drew inspiration from several cringy halmark movies for this, haha. This fic is for me, I just really wanted to write an Xmas fic since it's one of my fav holidays.

For the ask game: 💖🦄💥

Hi Wild!! Thank you so much for the ask!

💖 What is your primary writing goal for this year?

- My goal is to finish my Formula One Bagginshield AU and understand how to write horror.

🦄 Is there a new POV you'd like to try writing?

- I would love to write from Thranduil's perspective. He's very complex and I like that.

💥Is there a chapter, scene, or WIP you're most excited to write? Share a snippet or tell us about it!

- Well, it's for chapter 6 of my Formula One AU. Here's a snippet:

Rules: Make a 24hr 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.

Thank you for the tag @mithrilhearts, I've been so unmotivated recently, and this just might help.

I am only dropping four fic titles because these are the only things I have been excited to work on recently.

Don't worry I will still be in online spaces, I just feel as though all the fun has been sucked out of writing for me.

This means that I don't know when I will be updating my Formula 1 fic. I will keep on trying to write, of course, but I will not force it out of me.

Hi Maeve!! Thank you so much for the ask!!

🤔 Are there any new characters you want to write about?

- I'm in very few fandoms. I want to go back to writing for Star Wars and expand on some original work lore, but Bagginshield is just in my mind all the time.

🍄 Are there any fandoms you've never written for but want to try?

- Oh! I've wanted to qrite for The Magnus Archives, I just don't know how to tackle horror... It's daunting.

🛏 Is there a new trope you'd like to write this year?

I'll be honest, I wasn't really tagged in this thing, but I wanted to participate. But the lovely @mithrilhearts did say whoever wanted to participate, could, and I want to. So here I am.

I have one too many WIPs, not even going to lie. And I want to do this for motivation, I suppose.

So here are my WIPs, my ask box is, in fact open, so ask away (if you want to, haha).

Rules: make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! and then tag as many people as you have WIPs.

I'm picking all the WIPs I have worked on in the past two months. So, it's going to be a lot.

Untitled Christmas Fic - Bagginshield

Love in the Fast Lane - Bagginshield

He Cried Silver (Psytrance) - Bagginshield

The Concepts of You - QuiObi

So, this is how you lose... - Bagginshield

7 Reasons to Move to Tennessee - Bagginshield

As for tagging as many people as WIPs, I know like... barely any writers. So I'll tag those.
