Sorry, not sure if you've already answered these, but for the fanfic writers ask game
8. & 13
Oh my gosh tumblr didn't tell me I had an ask in my inbox! Sorry for the delayed response but here they are!
Fanfic Asks for the New Year!
8. Is there a story idea in your mental vault that you’ve never been brave enough to try writing? Is this the year? Can you tell us about it?
Hmm... there have been a couple stories I've been sitting on for a while that I haven't really started writing/sharing less so because I wasn't feeling brave enough and more so I wanted to clear some other projects off before I dove into them.
The first one that comes to mind if an alternate take on my long SW fic Wells of Silence, which initially started as a little "What If??" sort of thing I was gonna add to the bonus content piece, but the more I thought about it the more it grew into a story of its own. When I realized it was going to turn into its own multi-chapter probably 100k+ word beast I knew I wanted to hold off on really working on it until I knew I would have the time and attention to dedicate to it. I've been slowly working on it on and off since like 2018 and it's still nowhere close to go. But who knows, maybe 2023 is the year I finish up some long neglected multi-chapter WIPs and I can feel good about dedicating more time and effort to another long story.
13. Aside from fanfic, are there any other fan works you’d like to try creating? Fanart, or fanvids, gifsets, or podfic?
No, not really. I'm not much of an artist, and don't really have the motivation to want to try and get better, so things like fanart aren't much on my creative radar. Same with fanvids and gifsets, they're really neat to see and I can super appreciate the time and work that goes into them, but I have little interest in making my own. I've toyed with the idea of doing podfic once or twice, mostly just reading my works, but I've never really gone farther than thought about it.
The closest I might get to doing fannish things outside of writing would be to subtly or not so subtly work fandom stuff into my yarn bending. Working a subtle reference into a pattern, picking colors inspired by a character, or just straight up making something inspired by a fandom. But I don't have any solid ideas at the moment. We'll have to see what the year brings.
