Hmmmmmm, I think For Queen and Country has got to be it! 

I have a couple of WIPs that predate FQAC (Wanderlust, specifically), but in terms of how long me and my partners have been working on it and how much goes into it, I feel like more work overall has been put into FQAC possibly?

FQAC has been an idea to die for, but it’s been a really bumpy ride. @decantae came up with it I want to say... 3 or 4 years ago? It was originally run as a group roleplay on a play-by-post forum where it was too popular of an idea — too much was going on, and it was unsustainable for us, the people running it. The burnout was really intense. The best thing that came out of it was meeting @inconsistentlyontime though!

We’ve tried running it for a group of people a few times, but honestly that sucked the life out of me, which is probably why I’d say I put the most into it? It was really draining, and at times really devastating, to the point where all of that outweighed the joy and the good parts.

I think FQAC is currently on... it’s fifth iteration? Instead of a large group thing, it’s just me, @decantae and @inconsistentlyontime doing whatever we want for it, and I gotta say, it feels amazing. Because it’s just the three of us — two people I adore and have been writing with for years — and because in its fifth iteration, we’ve really had the opportunity to fine-tune, focus and hone-in on certain plots and characters to where we’ve trimmed all the excess, it finally feels fully realized to me.

I’m really excited for where it’s going to go in its fifth version! We have!!! So many cool things going on for it!

We do of course, have to write it now.

Thank you so much for asking!

I am planning on entering, as I have for almost every year since 2012! Whether or not i succeed is debatable, but I want to try to at least get some words down.

I currently have two WIPs, Lost Girls (a YA contemporary coming of age story that I actually did last year, but I'm working on the rewrite), and my first proper WIP, Paper Hearts (a YA mystery featuring small towns, secrets, and much more!). I got burned out on writing it, but now I think I'm ready to try again.

What about you?
