blog: local woman thinks vampires are a coping mechanism. more at 6
not exactly a wip tracker but sort of? seeing folks make posts about their wips inspired me to try something similar, except my version is a bit messier. it's gemini season, baby!
back in december/january, I mentioned I wanted to write more eric, and joked that I'd have an eric collection coming soon. well, it actually kind of started to happen :') I was in my eric feelings (yeah, I know. GREAT timing) so I came up with a bunch of prompts for him, and got as far as 5k words into a fun sangric fic.
(blotting out the sangric prompt because it wasn't my idea and I'd get permission to post this first if I were to finish it.)
but then things happened... and I was too sad to write those, or anything at all. the eric situation hit me hard. (it's still hitting hard.) so I set the collection idea aside and decided to just take it easy for a while. no old wips, no plotting new things, no reading fic. when the minnie/yuqi fic happened, I wasn't even planning to post anything! but that mv got me really in the mood to write something from start to finish, and who am I to say no to pink-haired yuqi?
after that, and after several books, movies, and tv shows, the plot bunnies invariably started coming back. so for a couple weeks my brain looked like this:
exactly like this. mostly just thinking ships and vague ideas, and tinkering with the fest fics. that's as close to a snapshot of my brain as it gets.
eventually I got to write the moonbae one, made progress on both fest fics, and started the vampire one that's more of a vent fic than anything. but then I circled all the way back to wanting to write eric again so I started two different things with him as well. mental illness wins!!!
and that's where I'm at right now.
fics done/halfway done:
- moonbae hurt/comfort magical enemies. I prompted this for moonbaefest but it wasn't claimed so I figured I might as well write it myself. (#BEYOUROWNFICWRITER) besides, hurt/comfort is fun and jacob would totally help his mortal enemy. I still want to reread it/rework it a bit.
- hyunjaefest fic. done and revised for the nth time, I just want to reread it one last time to catch stuff I might want to change/add. I can't finish fest fics too early because I keep thinking of things to add!!! please save me from myself.
actively writing:
- hakfest fic. pretty close to the end!
- 97z fest fic. halfway through, probably. just need to figure out where I want to take it, and how far...
- juric. I had to pause the fest fics because this doc is holding my three braincells hostage. I repurposed the canon compliant juric prompt I had for the eric collection and made it something else I can just project ALL of my feelings onto. this one is a little too on the nose - eric needs to go back home, juyeon misses him dearly - so if it sees the light of day someday I'll add a note in big bold letters warning that this is just me trying to work through my feelings about eric's hiatus.
throwaway plots/why am I writing this again?
- sunhak vamp. drink it au but make it like, super depressing. everyone is sad here because I was sad writing it lol it's not done but I don't know how I want it to end either? writing vampires is a coping mechanism, thank you.
- hak/sunwoo/eric dnd. an old prompt I considered doing for 9900VHS fest back in 2020. just an excuse to write tiefling!eric and healer!sunwoo tbh the kind of thing I pick up and add a few words to the doc if I don't want to think about anything. straightup just vibes.
that's basically it! I've been missing writing smut too, but I have 0 good ideas, so that's on the backburner for now. if I don't scrounge up an old wip for this (bbangsun could work?), I might just go looking for prompts somewhere... I especially want to write smut after reading "drinking games" by somebodyowens and "seep into me again" by quettaser, both of which are fantastic reads. vampire au and smut is such a good combination, why aren't we ALL writing horny vampires?!
