mini upd8

dropping two more fics on ao3 today before the deadline for bottom jayce week fully hits. Wanting Wrapped in Red will be uploaded as complete, but the other is a WIP that i should have done in about 2-3 weeks. (lowkey hoping no one really checks it out until it's done LMAO) then i'm gonna take next week off from socials/writing, cause i am burnt out from cramming all these fics in a month while also starting school again & dealing with health things. after that break it's back to getting AMSATASM chapters ready! i'm making the executive decision that i'm not gonna participate in any more events until the hurt/comfort week in october; that way i have time to prep and don't fall into the negative feedback loop i hit while trying to push out all these bjw entries. maybe next year i'll try my hand at joining some zines, but for now i want to pace myself and invest in more personal projects/perfecting AMSATASM.

thank you to everyone who's shared, supported, left kudos/comments/bookmarked everything i submitted so far! the reception has been incredible. i realized today that my stats on ao3 nearly tripled between hark the herald angel sings & the premise of promise, alongside the extra traction AMSATASM has gotten. we're almost to 1.5k hits on AMSATASM and you guys have pushed me over to almost 100 total bookmarks, which is absolutely insane to me since i only started posting what... three months ago? i think?

big fat forehead kisses all around. i'll make a post later when wanting wrapped in red is ready :)

#writing upd8 #AMSATASM #<- going in the tag cause it's relevant to the upd8s for it lol #virgil vents #txt #gonna start using writing upd8 as the tag for when i'm just. talking about writing but not actually posting a fic or content #that way my “my writing” tag doesn't get clogged with rambles and stuff #but yeah i love you guys thank you so much for all the encouragement #both on ao3 and here and bsky. especially the other day when i hit a wall/had my lil menty b about it all #i feel better now; both from the support here and my partners grounding me about it #and just. getting rest and time away helped. and realizing that its okay to accomodate myself some with it and not have things like #to a “perfect” (in my head) standard #i think i'm still adjusting to the idea that like. my fanfic isn't graded; it's not something people are going to just.#come for me with pitchforks over it not being to perfect publishing standard?#i knew that logically but not emotionally apparently #i think it's hard for me to wrap my head around the idea that not every bit of content i make has to be perfectly polished and pretty #it can be chaotic and messy and imperfect and still be Good!#i'm still new to posting my writing and letting people perceive the content i make so i think it just. flared up some deeply rooted shit #but we're all good now. anyways gonna do this recording then lock tf in mwahaha
