hey it’s me again lol

it’s been more than a year :(

any idea for the next FoD update?

my friend, i owe a great debt of gratitude to u *insert extremely dramatic bow and/or salute)*

since atleast January of this year, i have not been able to put a single word on paper. not for any of my wips, or headcanons, or even tumblr. it’s like the creative well had entirely dried up and it was so frustrating because i had many, many plans. FoD was the biggest one of them. no matter how many times i tried, i kept hitting the dreaded -writers block- and had no clue what to do. it didn’t help that i was not interacting w fandom in any sense, nor reading any new fics either.

however. this last month, i’ve been having a Time (negative), and fanfiction has been the only escape i could sustain. and then i see your ask. and i see your previous ask. and i read all the comments on FoD and the fic all over again.

and somehow, somehow!!! i sat down and wrote 5k in the last two days. i’ve been holding off on doing anything about it because i really don’t want to jinx it (and i wanted atleast 2 chapters written because i just know once the mania dies down, it’s very possible we’ll go back to a state of inaction lol) but also just. your ask. it’s been such an impetus for me to move my ass.

thank u so much <3 i’m going to upload the next chapter by tomorrow. it’s written. it’s….something, not what i’d originally envisioned but beggars can’t be choosers and all that. i’m a couple thousand words into the one after that and i really wanted to have it done as well so i could upload it a few days later but we shall see. atleast this one will go up.

once again, i’m so so grateful that u stuck on for so long and checked in with me, it means the absolute world.
