Hey all! Long time no see! (no, I’m not dead).

So, I have a project that I’ve been debating for some time, both for myself and all of you. Given how much fic I’ve written over the years (millions and millions of words), I’ve always wanted to do final edits of some of my works and print them so I can put them on my shelves. Naturally, I thought, I might not be the only one who’d appreciate this! I still get so many messages about so many fics and I thought maybe there’d be an audience who’d like to share in this experience.

So far, the list of fics I want to put through final edits and into printed form are as follows:

Kiss the Rain

Only Practice Makes Perfect

Serendipitous Fate Book 1

Serendipitous Fate Book 2

Umbrellas and Bracelets

Pick-Up and Chase / I Do / My Last Thoughts are of You (will all be in one singular collection)

One Thing After Another

A Profound Connection

If you know the fic, you probably know the fandom. Obviously, some fun stuff would come along with this project, like book covers, maybe prints or bookmarks, etc, likely via patreon wherein if you pay more you get extra stuff, if I have extra stuff to give. I haven’t REALLY thought through all the details yet, as I’m just trying to get a feel for whether or not anyone is actually interested in this before I commit to commissioning any art, etc.

I also don’t have a preference as to where I start, so there will probably be a poll wherein all of you vote for which book goes first (Sk8 and Miraculous, you’ll have to fight it out). I’d also like to add that I DO want to finish some of the WIPs that so many of you have been waiting on, so that is also in my future plans (five year plan? Ten year plan? It takes time to write things and I have a full time job, okay?!). The following projects are ones I would like to finish at some point in my life:

Serendipitous Fate Book 3

Back and Forth With You

Take Wing and Fall Away

BUT this does come with the caveat that I will ultimately be prioritizing my original work, Dragon Seer, first. Probably once I’ve finished book 2 and am in the editing period, I’ll be able to work on one of the above projects. I just knew that as soon as I brought up the finished works, some of you would be asking about the unfinished ones, lol.

In any case, just trying to get a feel for how interested in this project you all would be. Feel free to leave a comment and let me know (or just like the post I guess), and if it seems like there’s enough interest, I’ll start hashing out more details.

Think of it as an… S. Kay Lanphear zine experience, or something similar.

ALSO! If there’s a work that you would like me to add to either of the above lists that I did not include, feel free to mention it as well and I can add to any future polls.  

OKAY, BYE!

I remember when I first read this fanfiction, it changed my life. I'm not even exaggerating because it changed the way I view relationships for the better. Such a classic for a reason!

Thunder and Shadow - Archduke Joshua Rosfield

I’m working on the character designs for @skaylanphear ’s FF16 fic “Thunder and Shadow”, and here’s my boy Joshua, as the Archduke of Rosaria. I’m in love with this long haired version of him <3 Hope you enjoy!

-DO NOT STEAL OR REPOST-

And you can read the fic here:

Fic Covers | Only Practice Makes Perfect by @skaylanphear for @britnimiles

Reki doesn't know the first thing about kissing and after a bit of light-hearted taunting, gets the idea to practice with Langa. They're best friends, aren't they? So they should help each other out. Boy lips couldn't be that different from girl lips anyway. Langa, meanwhile, knows this isn't a good idea. Yet, if having Reki to himself is ultimately impossible, then might as well take what he can get--even if it is going to be painful in the end.

Hey there!

Aww, so nice to hear that, that is so sweet of you! Honestly, I have been less active on here, but it’s mostly because of my personal life (work-troubles, and then people getting fired because of the COVID drama, boyfriend troubles, little bit of everything.) But it’s still very uplifting to read messages like yours, to know that I somehow made a difference. :)

YEAH IM NOT SURE but they were some really nasty messages and i’m just like... dont u have a life? a better way to spend ur time? smh 

i have a feeling i know who it was and i know their life is sad so i guess they wanted to feel better about themself in a way LOL

but every time i saw that (1) over my ask box i was like

Thank you! And yes, I just did :)
