RULES: it’s time to love yourselves! choose your 5 (ish) favorite works you created in the past year (fics, art, edits, etc.) and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you brought into the world in 2020. tag as many writers/artists/etc. as you want (fan or original) so we can spread the love and link each other to awesome work.
1) who do you burn for — this fic means the world to me. it was the most emotionally draining but fulfilling fic i’ve written all year. i wrote it at a point of wanting to run away and start a new life and it reflects in the words.
2) The End — my quickest fic ever. i signed up for the @finelineficfest and within the week i finished writing the fic but didn’t know if i wanted to post it and fucked around with a few more wips but the amount of hope i poured into the fic called to me and i am so proud of this.
3) black cherries and chocolate — this wee ficlet came to mind at 2am and i didn’t stop writing about it. it also lead me to @mercurial-madhouse so it has a special place in my heart. it was a foreign genre to me – i’m more of a soft, sweet, slow burning angst kind of person but the eeriness that is in this – gahh i love it.
4) you, the moon. you, the road — probably the ugliest prettiest fic i could have ever dreamt of writing. this comforts me despite all the stuff that’s crammed in there. it is a love letter to Planet of Love by Richard Siken but also a love letter to all the ugly things i feel.
5) for tender ones like us — i wrote this for the @1dbreakupfest and back in August i was flipping through my diary for some inspiration and i had written down a quote by Lemony Snicket followed by Harvey Mikko’s For, M’s last line. it stuck a chord in me and i wanted to give love a second chance and out came the fic.
(i wrote both for tender ones like us and who do you burn for in the same week. it was fun.)
honorary mention to my first baby You can remain unaware (if you want to) which i wrote for the @wallsficfest. i struggled a lot but in the end (ha!) this gave me the push i needed to get back into writing.
all this rambling because @lululawrence tagged me.
tagging @falsegoodnight @hadestyles @mercurial-madhouse @twoweekrule @brickredtoe and @jacaranda-bloom (if they haven’t already done this!!)
