Read if you're in the little Secret Santa thing I'm running. (Please)
Hi everyone.
Now I know that my constant blog posts are annoying, but what can I say? I love writing annoying boring that nobody actually cares about...
That being said, I'd appreciate it if you read this:
I know that I am very behind on posting Secret Santa fics and I want to explain that to you. Obviously y'all know that I've only just handed in my last piece of coursework so I was busy up until basically yesterday and then last night my housemates and I cooked a massive meal to share, since we were all leaving for hometowns today!
Then, today, I've had a two hour journey home and have wanted to spend a little time with my family before I started writing again today. Now the late nights and hard work the past few days has just caught up to me, I'll sleep so much tonight T.T. From now on I'll be a lot more active though! Promise <3
Also, there is another reason why fics aren't being posted constantly - I'm trying to spread them out so that every fic gets at least a few hours of being the most recently posted oneshot (I know people don't have time to read all of the ones posted everyday, so they may just read the most recent).
I'm posting the next chapter whenever the previous one has like 3/4 comments. No, I'm not begging for comments - they aren't even my stories! I just think that every story should have comments so the author knows how awesome people think they are so I stress once again that it would be so freaking awesome if everyone could comment on the fics that they read (and read them all :P I have to!) even if you are usually a silent reader! Tehe, I hate to say this (I never would on my own fic) but more comments do actually mean quicker updates. (I hate myself for saying that).
Also, on the comment front, you may have noticed that I've added a comment part to the bottom of each oneshot and I am posting any comments that are directly related to the oneshot at the bottom there, the comment from the prompt giver gets their own little part :3 I think this is a good idea since it means that authors don't have to scroll through the comments list to try and find any related to their Secret Santa fic! Hehe, so yeah.
As I said above. i'll try to speed up from now on, but please appreciate that for each fic I post I read it, then proofread it, then I have to post and format it and add the comments part. I also have to go through my masterlist to find who the fic is 'for'. Then, I proof read it again and finally I post it. For some fics, the proofreading takes no time at all but for other people obviously I have to fully beta it, especially people who struggle with tense and grammar, this takes me a little while to go through. (I'm honestly not complaining, I love organising this and betaing is so fun! I'm just stating that obviously it does take a lot of time up).
On top of that I'm trying to keep up to date with private messages (but don't stress if you have a question, ask me! Or just message me if you have any fic recs or want to talk about anything. I like volcanoes and kpop the most!) as well as posting comments, the masterlist and my own fics! It's all fun (I'm a er that loves organising stuff like this!) but it is pretty time consuming (YAY FOR WINTER BREAK!).
Oh and on the topic of my own fics, you may have noticed that I am doing oneshot requests throughout December, so let me know a couple (INFINITE only) and genre/prompt/whatever that you'd like to read! I'm open to absolutely anything but I write humour, comdey and fluff better (I'm totally open to writing anything though - challenge me!)
Uber long blog post over! TL;DR = Read and comment. I try post fast but sorry if you wait, I'm not sat round twiddling my thumbs ;D Also oneshot requests. Comment here or pm like.
I love you all! <3
Starlight!
