thank you so much for the tag lovely!! ily you so much, you're such an awesome writer and i love your works! 💛
okay, so i originally got into writing at a young age, but i wrote a lot of poems and (what i would describe) as philosophical blurbs that were actually quite dark and deep. i only know this because i was cleaning a bunch of my old stuff out and i found some of these pieces and i was shocked that there wasn't more concern for younger me because that shit was a little concerning when you realise a nine or ten year old was writing them.
aside from those types of writings, i got into fiction novel/short story writing in middle school which is around the same time that i discovered fandom writing/fanfiction (thank you one direction). immediately, i got into writing my own fanfictions that i never finished and were horrible (i posted them on quotev and since, they have been deleted. i also tried to write on wattpad, but my books were being buried and never getting notes so i gave up again.
around covid time, i was bored and scrolling through fics via chrome because i had no accounts to interact with them on (this was before you needed an account to look on tumblr) and one day, i stumbled upon this fic (can't for the life of me remember what it was) that sparked the inspiration to start writing again. so, i made a tumblr and started this blog!
i love my followers! at this point, i have a little over 1k followers and i am so thankful you lovelies stick with me and my periods of disappearing! or my lack of consistent posting! i love to celebrate you lovelies so any excuse to do an event, i am always down for it!
i love talking to you lovelies and interacting with you! i know i disappear for odd amounts of time, but i and always checking the app regularly in case anyone tries to reach out to me for anything! i have some amazing moots who i talk to (love my moots) and not all of them write fics themselves, some of them are avid readers and supporters, but i love all my moots regardless of the role they play within the fandoms!
i love likes, do not get me wrong. likes are amazing, that's how i know you like the fic! a like and a reblog though... those are the best! not that writers don't like when you "like" the fic, liking fics is great but reblogs are the "main" interaction on tumblr. that's how fics spread and that's how fics gain more notes and more popularity. but i personally love when someone "likes" my fics! it's always a little boost no matter what! reblogs are just tumblr gold and the ultimate goal as a writer! and when a comment is added to the fic either through a reblog or a reply - ugh, the best! i prefer comments in the replies so that i can reply to them without having to reblog my own fic a bunch of times or liking my post too many times!
this is gonna be a hot take but i find requests stressful🙈. sometimes, it's hard for me to get ideas for some fics, then sometimes i have a hard time limiting how much i write. requests can take me a year to complete and i always feel so bad that the lovely who requested it has to wait so long for me to post their fic! but other than that, i love requests! i just feel like i am letting you lovelies down sometimes.
i love writing! writing helps me grow as a person in so many ways. i find solstice in writing. i find home within the fics and the stories i write. i interweave my soul into the pieces i write. i always try to leave a little piece of myself in every single piece of work i make.
i am proud of all my works in some way! even my first fics that look vastly different from what and how i write now. however, i do have favourite fics🫣. some of my favs are: eternal flame (s.h), right behind you (s.h.), speak now (s.h.), ivy (f.w.), august (f.w.), sorry for the shirt (f.w.), invisible string (g.w.), the woes of the highly overdramatic/the takes of the infatuated (o.w.), you are my love (j.m), coney island (j.m), take care of you (j.m.), and sunflower (j.r.)
i, unfortunately, am not tagging anyone because i do not know other writers than the lovely one who tagged me that are active right now!
