Look at this amazing drawing I commissioned from @claracastrobr for my fic, Formula One AU, "Love in the Fast Lane."

Which, by the way, second chapter is out now!

Fic summary:

Bilbo lived and breathed racing. Had for a while too. At the ripe age of six, going go-karting with his father. He remembered the adrenaline then too. And here he was, racing a qualifier at the Formula-fucking-One. He was talented, critics calling him a rising star, a breath of fresh air. He raced now with big names like Lewis Hamilton, Alonso, and Verstappen. And of course, how could he forget Erebor’s own Thorin Oakenshield. This was definitely not Formula Two anymore.

Chapter summary:

Chik Clack, Chik Clack, Chik… The ride stopped suddenly. Bilbo sighed, a heavy thing, and slumped back on his seat. “Of course. Every time I’m on this ride this happens.” He lets out a small laugh, “I’m cursed.”

Look at this AMAZING piece I commissioned from @mysandwichranaway !! It's captures exactly one of the scenes from chapter 2 of my Formula One AU for Bagginshield.

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.

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.

I just wanted to tell you I LOVE your formula one au (even though I know nothing abt f1 lmao) and your playlists are literally so good I listen to them all the time <3

Oh my goodness!! Hi!!

This is the first I've gotten from a fic and I am jumping with joy!! Full disclosure, before I dreamed up this fanfic, I also knew nothing about formula one. I just hope I'm doing it justice by those who know a lot more than me.

Also, I'm so glad you enjoy my playlists. I try to curate them to the best of my ability.

It was so hard to only choose a few, but hopefully this is not too many 😅

Hi Wild! It's not too many at all.

33. do you start with the characters or the plot when writing?

For my fanfics I start with plot, since the characters have been pretty much fleshed out for me, either through canon or fanon. For my original work, definitely with the characters. I feel like a lot of my plot depends on the character's personality, so I work on that first. Not that I write a lot of original work...

40. best piece of feedback you’ve ever gotten.

Write, even if it's bad.

53. when writing, do you have an outline? and do you stick to it?

Sometimes. It depends on how I'm feeling. But generally, no. But for example, my Formula One Bagginshield AU (Love in the Fast Lane) I outlined the main scenes, then went and wrote them out and finally, I'm adding the connective tissue.

75. do you know how your story ends before you start writing?

Most times I do. But I like to let myself be tugged along by the story too. It really depends on the story idea, the mood I'm in when I first write it, etc.
