2023 Writing/Stories Look-Forward

thanks to everyone who's read and liked and commented and tagged and sent in asks for my writing this year!

today i sat down to sketch out a vague--and definitely not set in stone plan for 2023--and I thought i'd share it with you guys, from a very high level and with the caveat that it will likely not be followed to the letter as i always inevitably bite off more than i can chew

but i lik to shoot high! lol so here's what i've got

Main goal: finishing the first draft of Nothing's Wrong with Dale and getting it all posted. this is the goal i'm most confident about and will lik, cannibalize other parts of my plan to achieve. i also have some like bonus offshoots for Dale, but those will likely get posted after the story is over and so are not part of the plan

Short Story goals: I plan to finish both Selfish (f!naga) and Free Piano: Haunted (m!spirit). I want to put out my Sci-Fi oneshot Snapped (m!alien) and the three part Seen (f!deity) - both of which i posted sneak peeks of a little while ago for that 'WIPs u didn't finish this year' ask meme.

Then it gets a little fuzzy - i'll either do two shorter 5 parts fics (both with winged monsters f&m) or one longer fic (probably Goddaughter or Quid Pro Quo - both m!demon fics), depending on what i'm feeling like for lik April-May ish. My summer fic will be about a runalong. In the fall/winter, I'll post the rest of Free Piano: Haunted and Feral (f!hellhound).

Choosing these from all my ideas was super hard, but I think i'm happy with what i picked (and all are technically subject to change).

At least, that's the plan.

As far as the short term, i plan to finish off some shorter things now (Selfish, Snapped, and Seen - idk y they all start with 'S' lol) in January. After that February and March are literally the busiest time of year for me at work and this will not be an easy busy season so I might literally post nothing (which is another reason that part of my plan is so up in the air). I will be working a minimum of 6 days a week, 55 hours a week - likely more than that so my brain will not be up for much writing during that time.

Hiatus: Last year I was able to keep posting Nothing's Wrong with Dale for some of January, but that's not going to be the case this year - putting up half of the next 4 part arc and then not finishing it until April would be unfair imo - both to you for the cliffhanger and to me because i will be able to write them far better if i write all oft he at once/in a row. So no more Dale until April, I'm afraid. The only reason I'll be able to post some of the other things at all in January is because most of them are already partially done where as next Dale is not started.

Feel free to send in any asks about upcoming/current stories! Happy New Year!

(please note that this is me, if anything, overestimating how much I'll be able to write and asking me to change my mind about say, Dale, to be more frequent etc will not work)

I call this drawing 'fuck around and find out'

not because of what's happening in the drawing, but because I just made this up as a I went along. I was fucking around and finding out.

But I do suppose those dragons are about to as well.

origins dnd au for @tea-with-veth (details under cut)

here's my gift for @mcytblraufest!! settled on a fantasy/dnd au to work in found family (and also because i noticed you like critical role). there's a bit of a hug, as requested, and context is ranboo's being brought in as a new party member.

some brief character descriptions (which can be taken with a grain of salt, especially regarding alignment):

Philza: Aarakocra Cleric (based on a golden eagle, death domain). serves Kristin (minor goddess of death). allowed to kill and maim a little, as a treat. lawful evil.

Technoblade: Harengon Barbarian (path of the beast). Chat gifted him the ability to adopt boar characteristics when he rages. easily bribed with carrots. chaotic neutral.

Tubbo: Fairy Artificer (insectile legs. artillerist). makes probably too many explosions. not to be trusted alone near mountains. chaotic neutral.

Ranboo: Aasimar Wizard (school of conjuration). idolisation from his community made him a bit of a prick with a superiority complex. kicked out of school. true neutral.

Tommy: Kenku Rogue (based on a caramel crow. scout). uses mimicry solely for comedic potential. admires rangers and their connection to animals. chaotic good.

Jack Manifold: Fire Genasi Bard (college of satire). runs, bartends, and performs for the Pube all at once. generally nice, but fuck around with his property and you WILL find out. neutral good.

📝 and/or 💗 pls and thank you :)

@sarahserinde thanks!

ooooh! hm, let's see - i'll do both from the same unposted WIP, although i have now realized that I've posted at least one paragraph of my a lot of my WIPs, so might have to start treating "unposted" as just no official story posts.

Still, "Wing Care" for which i still need a real title, is one WIP that i don't think i've posted anything for yet. It takes place after a battle at a castle, during which a winged character basically won the magic part of the battle for this group, is still seen as inherently suspicious and a lot of people are afraid of her--except you of course, who's her friend (plus some secret romantic feelings). The story is about patching her up after the fight and hurt/comfort goodness.

“Hey,” Layla said, leaning down a little to catch Wren’s blank gaze and bring it back to the present. “What do you want to do? You need to recover. Where do you want to do that? We’ll make it happen, whatever it is that you want. I promise.” Wren’s deep eyes bored into her own and Layla almost wondered if she’d read the situation wrong, if she should be with her cousin, arguing with the Duke for Wren’s right to stay. It wasn’t that she didn’t agree, its just that she wasn’t sure that’s what Wren needed or wanted. And in the end, that was what mattered the most. Wren blinked once, then twice, keeping her eyes shut for what felt like minutes, but was probably only a few extra seconds. “I would like to go to the Arie. I have some supplies that will be able to help me recover faster, better, than what is available here.” Layla let out a breath, glad to finally have a plan. If Wren wanted to go to her parents’ old base, one she rarely went to, because it would help her, then that’s what they would do. It did worry her though, that Wren felt it was necessary to get specialized aid. “Okay,” she replied, reaching a hand and cautiously squeezing Wren’s forearm, just above her wrist. “Then let’s go.”

As for the scene I'm excited to write for this, there's gonna be a fun like "shower off the magical residue together" scene that's gonna get real wet ;)
