A struggling writer that never shuts up ✨
Ah, for next year writing that fem growth is also calling out to me but I'm torn between povs lol i want to do Mamoru's but if i want kenryo id have to write that one first, or split between Ken and Mamoru's povs 🤔

*looks at ongoing wips untouched*

...... finish writing the smut for vintage artwork? i can do that. i think. i have 15 days. Its possible.

Ideally i'd want to put out Another birthday's update too but next is Mamoru meeting Ryo and only god knows what will Ryo do there 😂
What’s left on your to-do list for 2025?
December 16, 2025 at 2:08 PM
-Realistically it's one thing but ideally I still want to write ice skater au. At least the kenryo side considering the wip file is like 10k and I had a plot somewhat structured already. at least that growth mafia au. That one picatrix au of mine?

*Clears throat and unrolls a list*

-I need to rework taikyoku au for kenryo. Start quell's first responder (and finish ongoing)
-Demigod AU
-I want more isekai? that'd be fun with kenryo
-I've lacked on nsfw writing. Gotta fix that.
-
-That one 5+1 for SOARA through aus.
And finally, what would you like to write *next* year?

*screams in panic* Well. Somehow your life is worse than 2023 (due to shitty economy) and you didn't write as much as you did other years which kinda sucks (yeah yeah i dont look at numbers BUT STILL) but hey! Another year of writing that keeps injecting happy to the brain!
Think back on everything you've worked on since January and give yourself a compliment. A real one! Be nice to yourself.

bsky.app/profile/ficw... Secret Santa counts? That's a thing right
How many fannish events did you take part in this year? Things like bangs, exchanges, ship weeks, zines, prompt memes, etc. They all count!

Ngl i felt really good when i was able to post more than one work for kemochan birthdays, having all the posts ready felt AMAZING it won't happen again in 84 years
If you had to choose one, what was THE most satisfying writing moment of your year?

Vintage artwork? The approach at some point felt kinda ooc which pissed me off especially since Ken-kun usually doesn't do that to me. I rewrote until it worked out I think I did delete scenes though lol
Did you get frustrated with a fic at some point? What happened and how did you get past it?

Vintage artwork 🤔
What’s your favorite fic title of the year?
December 16, 2025 at 1:32 PM
bsky.app/profile/ficw...

Home... At work... Ideally in a beach not worried about mundane matters... But I guess if I had a laptop at work that'd be perfect I don't mind writing at work lol
Where did you write this year? Did you have a favorite spot?

I don't do writing playlists but if I had to I guess that's Growth, ZIX, SOARA, Sabrina Carpenter 😂
What was on your 2025 writing playlist?
December 16, 2025 at 1:29 PM
Well Vintage Artwork has 10k rn? if its oneshot The road that led me to you has ALMOST that, 9.7k

Shortest is Innocent blunder (aka Mamoru thought he lost his email acc) archiveofourown.org/works/66030427 with ~600 words lol

bsky.app/profile/ficw... Oh I know! The stuff about art galleries! I researched how they work and what you'd need to become the director, the auction process, curator work, and then whatever the hell the accountants do and that was really annoying! 😀
What's the most interesting topic you researched for a fic this year?

The chase is better than the catch? Ironically Ken-kun did not hear me AT ALL and my cute kenryo project turned into a kenkou sort of? I lost control of that one 😂

Well this was a year of oneshots and drables... If it counts i'm glad i finally finished What matters most is this moment by finally adding zix going to tsukino?

archiveofourown.org/works/69222851 oh, this has been around for a while too
December 16, 2025 at 1:22 PM
Oof... Solace might be one because I genuinely enjoyed that ShikiSora.

archiveofourown.org/works/64092544

The other one I think might be Sunlight synthesis because I've also wanted to write mafia au koumamo for a while

The road that led me to you 💜

I've been wanting to write Growth meeting Mamoru's orphanage teachers for YEARS so I'm really happy I got to piece it together. Considering this is the type of story I read when I got hooked in (mid life chaos), I'm glad I finally have my own version of it, too ☺️
December 16, 2025 at 1:15 PM
boueibu and hazbin hotel~ if new ship then i've also written new vzrk ships i hadn't touched before. we'll see if pionix gets strong enough in my head to make me write before the year ends as I keep hearing their dramas x'D
Did you write for any new fandoms or ships this year?
December 16, 2025 at 1:12 PM
bsky.app/profile/ficw...

Well, Kou-kun? 😂 (I've also liked Valentino a lot this hazbin season 🤫)
What character(s) captured your heart this year?

Kou-kun said he had enough of me focusing on the tsuns, so i guess koumamo pulled me back in 😅
What ship(s) captured your heart this year?
