Another old fic uploaded to ao3!
Love At First Song - Merfolk live hidden from humans, and to humans their existence is only a fairy tale. Gil knows he is not supposed to interact with humans or be seen by them, but when he hears a beautiful voice singing above water he can't control his desire to see who the voice belongs to. Eli's song enthralls him and he quickly falls in love. But could a human ever love a creature like him?
(PruHun, Hetalia, rated Explicit, chose not to use archive warnings, human au, mermaid au, adventure & romance, abusive parent, 8 chapters plus bonus chapter of story art & notes)
Another one of my fave fics! This one started as a one shot for PruHun Week 2019 but I just kept thinking about it after and well... It didn't stay a one shot. lol PruHun as mermaids is just magical and fun. <3 Loosely inspired by The Little Mermaid but went a different direction with it. Also, this is NOT the same version as the one on ff.net... There is a sex scene chapter I couldn't include there because it's, well, ff.net. But for anyone not comfortable with sex scenes it doesn't affect the story any so feel free to skip chapter 7 on ao3 if you so desire! A bit nervous because it's my first time publishing explicit content like that but... I did it! Screaming internally... lol

I'VE DONE IT!!! I'VE COMPLETED NANOWRIMO FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER!
I'm so proud I can't even put it into words. 50,000 words in a month. It's amazing. Last time, I didn't even get halfway and this time I absolutely smashed it and even finished a day early. Woo!!! I did it!
So it turns out that writing a project without any notes whatsoever is a really good idea for me. On my previous two items, I had all sorts of outlines and plans and character details--two notebooks full! But I didn't win with those. I won by having a vague outline that I keep in my head, seeing where the hell the plot takes me, and just going along for the ride. Apparently, it works. My word count has been fairly consistent: a couple of big spikes, but always over 1.2k words every day.
Had quite a few surprises in writing this. Spes Super Sydera is a sci-fi story but there weren't any aliens in my original brain-plan for the plot. There weren't so many twists and turns. There wasn't a disgraced ex-astronaut with a grudge, or a midnight heist, or an old friend hiding out in a mostly forbidden hangar. A vague comment in the first chapter as part of a character's introduction turned out to be an important part of the plot. One character turned from an off-hand mention to an important side character. There's a harkening back to the very first chapter when my main again sits across from three people who will decide her fate. So. Many. Surprises.
I'm not looking forward to editing it. But that's a few months off because there's still a good 20000-30000 words to write. Probably. If I keep going with this pantsing thing, who knows what it'll end up as. All I know is that I'm definitely in the last third of the book. The ending will be in sight...eventually.
Either way, I'm probably going to ride this high for the rest of the week. Hell, for what's left of the year! I've done the thing. And it feels amazing.

Y'all I know that when so-called AI generates ridiculous results it's hilarious and I find it as funny as the next guy but I NEED y'all to remember that every single time an AI answer is generated it uses 5x as much energy as a conventional websearch and burns through 10 ml of water. FOR EVERY ANSWER. Each big llm is equal to 300,000 kiligrams of carbon dioxide emissions.
LLMs are killing the environment, and when we generate answers for the lolz we're still contributing to it.
Stop using it. Stop using it for a.n.y.t.h.i.n.g. We need to kill it.
