Happy 10th Anniversary To Monstrous Intent!
Holy shit y’all I noticed it was coming up the other day and I still can’t believe that Monstrous Intent has been around for a decade now. That’s bonkers. I first published Predation, the first fic to be written in the series (and the start of my chaotic tendency to write out of order) on June 26, 2013. It doesn’t feel like it’s been that long, hot damn.
I wish I could have planned some kind of big fic to come out today to celebrate, but sadly it was not to be. But I will post some links here, in case folks who follow me haven’t read it, or want to catch up, etc. I’m really proud of this AU/series/thing and all the joy it’s brought people and the creativity it’s sparked in them over the years. <3 I love writing MI and look forward to writing more. I do have an ending in mind, and while it’s a while away yet, I fully intend to get there or die trying lol. I hope y’all will be along for the ride.
Here on Tumblr, my writing blog, @typingatlightspeed, has a page dedicated to collecting Monstrous Intent, including works others have written for it, their canon status, and where they fit into the timeline if applicable. Ever wonder why I never wrote Medic learning to fly? @hatoholic did a better job than I ever could have, and it is canon, and linked there, along with other stories, canon but vague about timeline, by @hatoholic, @oddport-fiction, @unicornsandbutane, and an AU of the AU by @foxtrotbeastbot!
In case you don’t know, Monstrous Intent has a dedicated sideblog, over at @monstrousintent, where I reblog my fics, the fics others have written set in the universe, art people have done based on it, art that just kinda fits the vibe, shitposts of a similar nature, my own headcanons (are they just canons since it’s my AU? we need a better word for that) about the characters and setting and stuff, and other such sundry things. There’s a bunch of amazing art of the AU there and some of it even escaped the purge ifyougetwhatImean so just like all of MI, it’s 18+.
And on Ao3, I have the definitive versions of my MI fics, which I am slowly updating to fix a few of the weird formatting issues that copy/pasting stuff from LibreOffice into a browser causes for whatever reason. Also a few lil grammar tweaks. I’ll probably update a few fics for continuity over time, but I’ll make mention for those if it’s big enough. Nothing more than like a line or two, though. For the most part I feel my work stands.
Thank y’all again for sticking with me and letting me play in this space and make something I truly love with all my heart. Especially when my medication stole like five or six years of my creative life from me. It means the world to me to be back. Wild to think that this all started because I was vaguely grumpy that Sniper got all of the werewolf fics and art when it was Demo who had the in-game wolfman cosmetic, lol.
