Ask meme! 13, 19, 21, 25!
13. favorite writing song/artist/album of this year
The Final Fantasy X Piano Collection was nearly always on a loop while I’ve been writing this year. I absolutely love it. The songs are beautiful. Specifically the song titled ‘Besaid’. It’s such a bouncy, but soulful tune.
19. any new fics to start next year
Oh yes! Many, many stories live in my squishy brain meat right now. I feel kind of bad because I feel like 2019 was my 90% Izuocha/bnha year and only recently I’ve been diversifying out into other fandoms and ships so I just know that 2020 will only get more diverse.
It was nice having nearly a whole year mostly devoted to writing for one fandom and one ship, but 2020 is my year for something different!~
If anyone is interested, my list currently looks like this:
The continuation and finale of Hold Me (But I’m Not Scared)
A Reddie Soul Eater AU (oneshot)
A Reddie College AU (medium burn)
Finale of Kyoru fic Cat Therapy (two parter)
A Kyoru Cat Cafe fic (oneshot)
A Sokai Keyblade Training fic (oneshot)
A Madomami Go On A Date fic (oneshot)
And like, probably a load more random drabbles and oneshots I come up with next year. These are the ones I’ve already planned out in my head and would love to write though.
(Also!! Big secret, but I’m actually going to be discontinuing Moth Dust (I know, I’m sorry!) and re-purposing it into my own original idea for a novel that I hope to start planning and writing a little bit for by the end of 2020, ready to knuckle down and start writing it in 2021 !)
21. most memorable comment/review
There are soooo manyyyy ! I literally am unable to pick just one.
Honestly, there are so many I treasure! Um um um. There are the ones that make me feel like I’m about to cry because I get so emotional and my brain can’t handle it - send in the tears!
Comments fuel me and also turn me into an emotional mess. There are so many of you out there that have made me nearly cry ahaha. This one had me bawling one morning:
But I also love those comments after I’ve written the rare angsty thing where people are just yelling at me and I love that more than I can articulate. I have absolutely wheezed at my phone before. I sent a message to my friends like ‘Look, I made people feel emotional and yell at me for breaking their hearts! I’m feeling so fulfilled!’ and they were like Nat. No.
Also I love it when people quote back their favourite parts to me, that really gives me an idea at what worked!
I know I’m a very lucky girl to have so many comments - I really do appreciate every single one. I wish I could list them all here !
25. a fic you read this year you would recommend everyone read
My tastes on fics I read are very much based in the realms of whatever ship I am hyper-fixating on,,, and there’s been a few this year. Ironically, since my blog has been about 90% bnha, 5% writing stuff, 5% everything else this year I have got quite a few bnha followers who would have absolutely no interest in the fic that I’m about to rec, but I’mma answer the question anyway !
The one that has made me cry, laugh and just pterodactyl screech at my phone at 2am the most - which is my criteria for fic recs of the highest tier - is easily a Reddie, post IT Chapter Two fic, called ‘and i will not remember that i ever felt the pain’ by @fluffifullness
Okay. So. Like. This fic. It is angsty in all the Best Ways. The slowest of burns. So many Almosts and Nearlys on them connecting with their feelings that both killed me and had me living. Also there’s a ghost. It’s Eddie. Eddie’s a ghost. And I am just all about the romantic tragedy of character A is alive, character B is a ghost but they still love each other. You ever seen the movie Ghost ? ‘Cause this is Better.
Honestly, even if you’ve only seen the movie once, I would rec the hell out of this and throw it at you to read. (Even if you’ve never seen the movie I would still rec this, but you’ll lose so much extra context!) But yeah, great fic - that’s my rec of 2019~
