status update!!

i currently have 8 requests sitting in my inbox (5 abbott elementary, 3 alex rider). i'm working on them (i have an exam tomorrow so that takes priority but as soon as that's done i'll be right back to writing as much as i can!!), but as i'm plodding along with them i thought i'd give you guys a brief little update:

i've now opened up my ko-fi to accept tips!! i'm still working on my page, and still debating on whether i'll do proper commission writing in the future, but for now if you'd like to toss me a tip for any of my writing, you can drop it here!!

hopefully i'll be getting more writing to you guys soon, but thank you for reading xx

hi, just thought I'd let you know that the carterkiss cat post is a scam, and it's one that they've done before (their blog isn't very old at all and their PayPal links to paying someone in the Philippines)

oh rip thank you for telling me. it so sucks that people take advantage of the good hearts of others in this way :/

Six sentence Sunday tagged by @andipxndy

“Quit looking at me with that dopey grin it’s annoying,” Janine lied her cheeks burning up.

He grinned again, “is it annoying or distracting?”

“Gregory focus we need your mom to see us together so she knows you’re dating someone remember?”

“I know, I know but generally being with you, pretend or not is fun.”

“I know me too I’m just nervous that we’re going to get caught.”

Is that all you’re nervous about?”

Thank you :)

Also this is seven sentences but shhhh

(And yes I’m still working on the Jacob/Morton fic lol)

+++

In sum: no babies, no toddlers, no adolescents. One adult feline companion, please.

Rather than seeming caught off-guard, an enthusiastic staff person takes Joseph to see a cat she insists is exactly what he wants.

Joseph tells himself he’ll reserve judgment in spite of the excitement he feels at those words, but he immediately falls in love with the large black cat he’s presented, even before he’s told its name (Isaac) or sex (male), because Isaac is perfect.

He has gentle, inquisitive eyes, a delicate meow, and a soothing purr. He is six years old.

Joseph asks why Isaac was abandoned, and is given the explanation that he wasn’t abandoned, but bereaved: his previous owner passed away a couple of months ago, and Isaac has been waiting for a new companion ever since.

Nine People Tag

Tagged by @andipxndy-writes! Thank you, I also don’t frequently get tagged in things and this was fun

Last song: When Emma Falls in Love by Taylor Swift. I’m not super into her music but I listened to the vault songs out of curiosity and this one hasn’t left my head. (It’s also really good!)

Last movie: Ratatouille. I’ve been doing a big animated Disney movie rewatch and that was next on the queue. (And it’s my favorite movie in general.)

Currently watching: Queen Charlotte. I’ve seen three episodes over a period of like three weeks lol so I still have to finish it

Currently craving: a good salad, like a caprese or something

Last thing I searched (for writing): the Abbott Elementary wiki. It has the transcripts of every episode and it makes it way easier to remember certain plot points so that my fics are truly canon compliant. I haven’t made any more interesting google searches in a while actually

i just realised i didn't send any asks back to you (thank you for sending me asks btw!!), so how about: 🎶 [Notes] and 📖 [Open Book] for any WIPs you haven't answered these questions on? (from AJ over on @andipxndy-writes)

Hi, AJ! Thanks for the question 💜

From this ask game.

🎶 [Notes] Do you have any other WIP related things, like moodboards, character portraits, playlists or similar?

I don't do moodboards or playlists at all. I've done character portraits in picrew (at the bottom of this post). I've previously forgotten to mention maps. I love drawing maps.

Other than that, I have a tonne of photos and other references saved on my computer - my main setting is very much inspired by history of Central and Eastern Europe, so I refer to extant garments, historical architecture, etc.

On the other hand The Fulcrum forced me to get some 1st year undergrad biology books, because I'm trying to figure out an alternative path for evolution😅 Also, a different collection of photos, from different museums.

📖 [Open Book] What form do you want this WIP to take when it's done? Posted, printed, published, etc?

Days of Dusk, The Truth Teller, and The Fulcrum - I hope to publish them in physical form at some point. I'll try for trad pub first, see how it goes. The unnamed parody/retelling - I'm thinking of posting it here, on tumblr, or maybe AO3.

meet the writer: aj

(a.k.a. my writeblr intro, done properly)

heya!! i’ve had this blog for a while now, but i realised i haven’t ever actually done a proper intro on here, so here it is!! (also did i want the opportunity to make an aesthetic of myself??? absolutely. image made in canva and portrait on the left is from picrew, all other images were taken from unsplash)

my name is aj (she/her pronouns pls)!! i’m 26, black, and i live in the uk. i graduated from uni 3 years ago and currently work in lab admin, but i’ve been doing creative writing for 10+ years!! i’m currently trying to get back into reading by reading a book a month (i usually share the book i’m reading in the sidebar of my main blog, which i follow back with as this blog is a sideblog: @andipxndy), and i write a variety of fanfiction and original works (both based off my own characters and those i currently/have rp’d with in the past). i also take requests for fanfiction, which you can read about below the cut or in this post (i’ve made some changes which mean the post is not relevant atm)!! but in general i love being asked questions about my WIPs and my characters and basically any characters i write, because i love delving into character thoughts and doing character development (so please send me some!!).

this blog started off as a way for me to share my fanfiction writing, which is how i got into writing in the first place and how i came to love it, but now i’m wanting to expand some more share/talk about some of my original works too!! i write ya sci-fi in my original stuff, but i’m known to drift into romance, action-comedy and crime when it comes to fanfiction works. i’m also over on ao3 as andipxndy.

my main fanfic writing fandoms are abbott elementary and alex rider, just to keep things managable, but i also enjoy watching ncis, criminal minds and lockwood & co., and sometimes dive back into old favourite animes (k-on!! is my current anime obsession). i may be slow to write or respond to stuff but i DO enjoy diving into discussing fandom stuff too!! i also like playing video games like sims 4 (ea is a money grab pass it on) and cities skylines, and enjoy dnd and rping with friends!!

before this intro gets too long, here are my main WIPs:

power play (1st draft completed, left to stew)

the first original wip i planned, the story is intended to be part of a 5-book series about a 20-year-old who accidentally gives himself powers, and ends up drawn into the science underground whilst trying to save people that he may or may not have also accidentally given powers. and all whilst trying to appear completely normal to his mum and get a summer job whilst home from university.

the crossover (still working on 1st draft, is my main/november nano project)

this is an adaptation of an old rp au i had with one of my closest friends, adjusted to have new, original characters despite the same plotline. it follows a 17-year-old girl as she’s accidentally transported into a parallel universe, where her parents aren’t her parents and she doesn’t exist. in an attempt to get home, she ends up crossing paths with the people who are meant to be her family, and finds out that they’re all superheroes. insert drama and shenanigans here.

the rich life: a modern bourgeoise au (working on 1st draft, is my camp nano project)

a passion project that i’m completing for my rp partners, this au is split into a 3-book series following the lives of our characters in the upper class, those who work for them, and eventually their children, going through the drama of their lives and how they try so hard not to have it all end up in the press. that obviously doesn’t work.

fanfiction fics and requests (ongoing but this is technically a wip)

technically counts as a wip as i have a backlog of fics in progress to write and share for requesters (and some ideas i’ve had myself), but these are mainly either alex rider or abbott elementary fanfics that have been sent in via ask. you can see extra info below the cut after the next paragraph. my requests are currently closed, and i’m working through my backlog. the request(s) active for the forseeable future are:

will you be my maybe? - an abbott elementary fanfiction (gregory x janine - injury + fake dating)

anyway, this is all i’ve got for now!! i do take part in things like nanowrimo and camp nanowrimo, so if anyone takes part in those too i look forward to writing alongside you!! other than that, that’s about it!! i’ll be sharing snippets of my work, and maybe eventually you’ll even get aesthetics eventually!! i’ve you’ve read this far, i applaud you, but thank you so much for reading!! i’d love to get to know more writers on here, both inside and outside of fandom spaces, so please feel free to jump at me and send me asks and messages and stuff!!

~ aj xxx

(for more info on fanfiction stuff, read below the cut:)

i’ve been writing fanfiction for over 10 years, and as something so dear to my heart i can’t let it go - it’s helped me to develop my writing and character development skills!! i have, however, grown in the fandoms i write, so please see below for more info:

I WRITE FOR:

alex rider

abbot elementary (more specifically, gregory x janine. i ship only those two. with my whole heart.)

fics getting to know my original characters (oneshots)

(i realise that this is significantly cut down, but i have other projects in mind that require more of my time and can no longer spend as much time on requests!! for this, i apologise!!)

GENRES WRITTEN (not completely restricted):

family/friendship

romance

hurt/comfort

action/adventure

IMPORTANT TO NOTE:

MY REQUESTS ARE NOW CLOSED

all fanfics will be cross-posted to ao3

please give me up to a month to get fics written and posted - if not done within a month, feel free to message me about it [please DO NOT pester me about it] - i work and am also writing original things, so do not always have the time

i preferably write oneshots, though the occasional multi-chap will appear - a fic ends up longer, well, it happens 🤷🏾‍♀️

i am a rambler so you are almost always guaranteed a longer fic

please try not to give me word count limits or specifications on fics - they are discouraging

that being said, any writing requests/prompts fulfilled will most likely be 20k words or less (though they may be longer if the inspiration strikes, don’t hold me to it)

i do not write smut, or any nsfw other than possibly gore/torture/violence. this is a personal preference and i will not change my stance on it

if you have any triggers that you do not want included in the fic, please message me and inform me of this

i have a ko-fi! if you would like to tip/donate to me for any of my writings, check it out here

all fics may or may not include a level of humour/sarcasm - i’m not sorry for this

[andipxndy]

could write what you think might happen in the halloween episode with janine and gregory

hi anon!!! thank you so much for sending me this request, and i am SO SORRY that i didn't manage to get it done in time to share before the halloween ep! if it's any consolation, i have not watched the ep and refused to watch it before finishing this fic, so i hope you enjoy it anyway! take it as more of an au, or what i think should/could happen in that ep. (i'll probably go and watch it when i'm next able to, so i can see how close i got!)

anyway, i enjoyed writing the fic, but i really hope i got the characterisation right all the wat through!! i'm not a huge halloween person (never have been) so i really tried with this one, ngl. the fic is called "happy halloween!" (obvs) and it's ready to read!! i hope you enjoy!!

(also, just a reminder that these requests are better when sent over to my writing sideblog, @andipxndy-writes!)
