FANFICTION MASTERPOST

Yeah, I am late to the party. But I guess it's time to stand to my trials...I mean fanfics! Fanfics! Now I wanted say something like "I write mostly in fandom XY" but honestly? I am kinda all over the place. I try to make sense out of it in this post. First: My ao3 handle ist reddish_umbrella I only publish fanfics on ao3. Back in 2020 I was very into the Titan-verse and there are some fanfics out there which are all about the relationship of Dick Grayson and Rachel Roth.

Rachel's Way Out When Rachel's get her head injured during a mission, she looses all her memories about herself but also her history. Suddenly Dick's is confronted with the decision if he wants to keep her that way to provide her the chance of normal life...but the way out is never the easy one. Belongs to the series Long Journey Home (Part 1) Rachel's Escape They just got back from their last adventure which almost cost Rachel's life when suddenly a new thread appears on the horizon. Rachel decides it's best if she manages the thread on her own, much to Dick's dismay... Belongs to the series Long Journey Home (Part 2) I planned to write a third part but somehow I "fell out of the fandom" and there probably won't be a third part to the series. Together we can be heroes (One-shot) After Dick's last mission with the Justice League went haywire, he promised Rachel to stay out of it. When he break his promise (once) again, she decided she had enough to wait at home and plans out a plan. Back in 2020 I also was very into Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist and from this time I have some unfinished and discontinued fanfics laying around. Mixing business with girls and thrills Zoey just wanted to spend the weekend with her friends Mary and Sue in L.A. as suddenly she get dragged into a story of spies and world conspiracies. From SPRQPoint with Love Zoey has a normal life as IT support for a boring start-up. As suddenly her whole world changes...to the better? She got a way (One-Shot) After her father's death Zoey just want to disappear under her blanket, but...her phone has other plans. In 2021 I started to write my first novels, finished up my second novel (yeah, I finished up the first before the second one. I'm weird.) and started my third novel. Before that I had written down 48 pages of a new fanfic and in-between all of these things, I started another one. Chaos? Right. I try to break that up for you. My in-between is a ongoing story in the AWAE fandom. Can't we be friends? Gilbert was just crashing on the couch after a long shift in the hospital as his phone vibrated in his front pocket. He took it oud, blinking because of the bright light, and looked at it. It was 4.30 am and Anne just texted him. It was a screenshot of a pseudo-medical side. The caption under the screenshot said: „I asked Google about my neck pain and it says I'm pregnant. Should I be worried?“

*** Anne just had a breakup with her girlfriend Marisa and can't sleep at night. She starts to call Gilbert to talk about everything and nothing. My 48 pages fanfic is now my December project and I started to post it. It's a *whispers* Jo x Teddy Modern AU *clears throat* I know it's controversial. "Hope" is the thing with feathers Jo had her chance to be with Laurie and the moment she realized their friendship could mean more to her, she was too late. Amy and Laurie had found their luck together.

But what happens if their love story came to an end and Jo sees herself in the situation to seek out Laurie again? Will she find their friendship - and even love - again? My second novel will also be a fanfic - which isn't publish yet - but to give you a teaser, title is below. I probably gonna change in a later edit to an original work because aaaah...I am lousy fanfic writer, tbh. ^^ (smart move to write that at the very end of your own fanfiction masterpost *hehe*) It's turning out sublime RPF with Timothée Chalamet, AU, Aged-up Characters, Poly Relationship. Coming this December 2021 So, that's all for now. Have a lovely day y'all!

Best part of writing 😈😈😈

I got a sweet Christmas cards from a friend telling me "you had a trying year..." and truth to be told, that's an regular occurrence in cards addressed to me.

My life is messy, chaotic, inconsistent. I go from a state of being happy to a state of being in trouble. I never had an easy life, I never had an easy year or even a calm year. I am not ill or in danger, no, I just attract changes I guess? It has become so naturally to me I am not questioning this even I sometimes fear the moment where my mind or body (or both!) will shutdown for good as they had enough of these constant turmoils.

This year for instance I finally found work again. I graduated into the start of the pandemic in early 2020 and everything went arseway workwise. I had a shitty job, I quit shitty job, tried to be freelancer, failed horrendously, went on to the next shitty job, got fired, was again unemployment without benefits and then early this year I finally found something.

Only to realize that I'm finally somewhere I like what I am doing but my employer doesn't care about our work and doesn't support us. I had to accept I had to find something new if I want to evolve in my professional field. And I did find something new, I will start a new job next year.

In the midst of everything I broke up with my boyfriend of 3.5 years because we realized we didn't have the same goals in life anymore. He wants to have a family with kids and I really don't. Admitting that to myself was a relief, seeing the relationship break away was - and is still - hard. I also had the hard revelation I can't live from my current workhours (only working half days) and I was too much relaying financially on him. So I needed a new job with more hours, gaining financial independence and then hopefully I can move out from the flat. Because we still do that...living together as flatmates.

And I get that seems like a trying year, especially if you put the insecurities of the pandemic above it. But this year I also suceeded to write and finish my first novel and a fanfic which has novel length! In one year! I did find writing as my big love (again) and I did find myself as a person, as a writer, in my profession and personally.

My life will never be easy, it will always be turbulent and for an outsider it might seem like an endless mess of things for which they should pity me. But don't. I don't know how to lead an easy or calm life and honestly, I don't want to. I always be a bride of my own adventures and if I ever had an easy life I probably wouldn't know me that well as I do. I've never been as much at peace with myself than right now and this peace is extremely precious to me. Even when my life turns messy, I know who I am and what I want in life.

I think it's important to praise the content creator if you consume their work regularly.

You probably don't despite them - as you wouldn't consume their work otherwise- and why not? Most of the time I don't have the time to do a thorough review and most of the time I won't consume my fav content creator in a very critical way. So, if I like a fanfic story for instance and I read normally the updates - I let them know I enjoyed it! Even it's only a few sentences, even it's more fangirling than reviewing... the internet can be an incredible frustating place. I rather try to lift you up instead of critizing every detail or don't interact at all.

Of course I only do that if I have to say something, but if I enjoy something I can say something positive. It's not dishonesty and even it's not a critical approach to it, I think it's better instead of saying anything. Maybe a bit too nice but rather that than the creator stops to produce out of lacking feedback. And it can get really frustrating out there...

This happend.

A tweet of mine went viral, like out of nowhere.

As it was somewhat political issue a lot of people asking me questions and I am not a pro on this topic. I just stated my opinion and it seemed to hit a nerve. I am so happy I can't answer all the mentions and replies because like a I said not a pro on the topic. ^^ Nobody has to know I don't know everything...coughcough And now I have to go back writing my smut scene and I am kinda way too pump up for it...

When you have one novel about 80% finished, one fanfic about 50% finished and one new project lined up for NaNoWriMo and then somebody is commenting on an abandoned fanfic series of yours: "I'm looking forward to the next installment!"

*tries to tell what her newest fanfic is about it with a lot of words*

@not-so-mundane-after-all-97 "You mean it's about LGBT+ poly relationships? Cool!"

All the 🥰 to her for nailing it in one sentence.

Romance novel/fanfic writer, how you can be so patient? I'm just ten pages into my fic and can't wait until my pairing stops pinnig after each and finally get their s*** together!
