the state of things

Just a quick note to let you guys know what's happening in my world! 

First off, if you want to get all my updates and thoughts and other random about fics directly from my head, you can go and follow my writing tumblr >>here<<. I often post previews of upcoming fics there, too, cause I don't use asianfanfics much...

Now, onto the state of play with fics!

My inspiration has been waxing and waning over the past six months; I put it down to a number of things – mainly my job (I don't like my job, it saps my energy and is just exhausting mentally) but also my depression (which has come back with a vengeance, although this, too, waxes and wanes) as well as my interest in other fandoms growing. This, I suppose, is due to Block B's lack of group activities, because I was super active when Bastarz was happening (which was nearly a year ago... wow). I've sorta... fallen back into fandom – mainly because I made some awesome new friends who made my enthusiasm for the group come back. That's a background as to why for the past four months I really struggled with prompts. 

So, at the moment I have 'Watch Me Burn' on the go. I've actually completed that in full, but I'm posting it in chapters to draw it out, sort of! I also have 'It's only then that you see me' ongoing as well, but unlike with the aforementioned 'Watch Me Burn', I haven't completed it, and I'm writing it whenever I can be bothered to switch on an episode of SMTM4. 

Those are the last two prompts I have remaining.

Outside of prompts, I'm working on something from my own head (I know it's so ing rare for me to actually have an original thought so let's celebrate this ) – an angel taepyo fic. That's got about 7k words down as we speak, and I have it all planned out (although it's not going to be as long as 'Watch Me Burn', promise). 

(interesting that the three current prompts I'm working on are AUs, eh?)

After I finish the angel fic, and 'It's only then that you see me', I plan to reopen prompt requests and start taking prompts again. No idea when that will be, anywhere from a week to a month, but it shouldn't be longer than that. I will, of course, post here to let you guys know when that happens!

So, that wraps it up, really! Now you know what's happening with me and my world!

TL;DR:

  • I haven't been super active over the past six months because my job and life but I got my passion for Block B back
  • Watch Me Burn is finished but is in the process of posting
  • It's only then that you see me is not finished, but I certainly haven't forgotten about it, and I'm continuing to write it
  • I am working on an angel taepyo fic that should be in the realm of 15k words
  • Once those are done I will reopen prompts 

P.S: A huge thank you to every single person who reads, likes, comments and votes on my fics. Your support means SO much to me, more than I can put into words! I love every single one of you and you are what keep me writing on dark days. Keep on being awesome <3

Ahhhhh I'm so glad to hear that there's some inspiration lingering around for you. I know it can be hard sometimes.
Especially because of how unpredictable depression can be. Those feels, man, I have them.
I am very much inspired by everything you write abd just you in general, tbh.
I've said it before, but I'll say it again - I will always be eagerly awaiting anything you write and will devour it accordingly. Lmao.
You do you, and there'll be plenty of us around to continue supporting you along the way!

P.s: Do you cross-post ALL of your fics on AO3? When I leave AFF, I'd still love to read and comment, so I'm gonna subscribe to you on AO3 too. I just want to make sure I don't miss anything~
