Top 5 works you're most proud of (not necessarily your most popular)
1- In Your Own Words - This series was so long and hard to write, also it brought me back to writing fanfics after such a long time having a falling out with writing because of adulting.
2- I don't mind - Because it's short it's cute, and i wrote it all at once as soon as the inspiration hit me, something rare to happen.
3- Stay there, I'm coming to get you - I can never stress enough how hard it is to write smut, when my first language isn't english. Seems like whenever I try, sunddenly I don't know english anymore. And this one was easier than any other, I just couldn't figure out how to make them get there.
4- Grand Slam - This is my most popular fic, but what made me the proudest was that I managed to step out of my confort zone with some part of the smut, and that made me very unsure of it.
5- New Year's resolutions - For me is so, so hard to write Jimin and portray him, that i paused this fic so many times and even now I'm not sure about it, but I put it out to the world and that's what matters.
Top 4 current WIPs that you're excited to release
1- All Night - I was supposed to post it on Christmas but adulting and a lot of other things got in the way. This fic came out of my obsesion with the song and the idea of keeping each other warm during a cold night of winter - Because honestly I'm very tired of Christmas durring summer.
2- Paper Flowers - This is part of the Summer Time Wedding colab from BCN. I need to sit down and finish of this one, but I'm happy with how the story is comming along.
3- PJ's and RJ's - Because Kim Seokjin, Pajamas and RJ are the perfect combo.
4- I'd love to - Because is the fic im currently working on and probably the next one I'll be posting.
Top 3 biggest improvements in your writing over the past year
1- Outlining the story doesn't mean things can't change. The pieces not used can turn into another fic or used at another one.
2- I can post fics with more basic and simpler grammar. There is no need to stress over making the story more "sophisticaded" using hard words that takes me forever to find and make me lose/dread writing. - People don't care about it, they don't even notice the effort.
3- Writing needs to be fun. There is no need to write a lot and post a lot when people don't care about giving feedback or talking to you about your work. I need to write because I want to tell the story and I'm doing it for me.
Top 2 resolutions for the new year
1- Read and write more, as well as give better feedbacks.
2- Improve my banner skills.
Number 1 favorite line you've written this year
(Is not a line but a few pragraphs from IYOW-CH.10)
“I went to visit my grandmother! She lives in the countryside.”
Sabrina lifts her thumbs and stretches out her arm, making sweeping movements back-and-forth with clenched fists. Suddenly she stopped with a theatrical grimace of astonishment and twists one of her fists, muttering a nhem-nhem-nhem-nhemnhem.
“Then my car broke down!” you tell Jungkook excitedly.
Sabrina jumps up and down in celebration, then goes back to mime. She puts one hand to the ear, thumb and little finger stretched out, and slides the finger of the other through the throat, sticking out the tongue.
“Then I got a death threat!”
“What?” Jungkook and Sabrina asks at the same time.
For this part I have to thank my eternal Roommate Julia and her terrible mime reading skills. I love her to death but I can never be her partner on mime games.
I'm late on doing this, beacause there was only so much my mental health allowed me to do last month.
All i can say is that I'm thankfull that 2022 is over, it was a really stressful year and I hope 2023 will be much kinder to me.
