2020 Creator Wrap: Favorite Works

I was tagged by the very lovely @bionerd2point0, back when it was still 2020.

Rules: it’s time to love yourselves! choose your 5 (or so) favorite works you created in the past year (fics, art, edits, etc.) and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you brought to the world in 2020. tag as many writers/artists/etc. as you want (fan or original) so we can spread the love and link each other to awesome works!

-

I saw most of you start this with stats (and congrats - those look amazing, damn!!) but I decided against that, cause one of the things I was trying to do last year was to not look at that. Instead, all of the following are pieces that have made me feel a bit vulnerable writing and posting.

Vigil (Gen with Joyfire(/Dick) and maaybe some DamiTim)

This one started with me listing the things I knew @scootboot97 that I can do, and unsurprisingly, it’s all stuff I love, too: Hurt/comfort, cuddles, confusing warmth, brothers, Bruce being a douchecanoe when he worries, and everyone being protective of each other. We talked about follow-ups a few times and I still kinda wanna do that.

I think this was my first longer fic from Damian’s pov. Typing this reminds me that I wanna explore that more often, because it’s a very interesting one. The way he looks at the people and relationships around him… He’s a teenager, barely so, but also a very analytical one and full of a different set of biases than the people around him. There’s a lot of byplay that he notices but can’t fully comprehend, which is fun to play with as a writer when it comes to giving the audience information.

safe with me (JayTim)

I joke a lot that my kink is communication, and that’s basically the fic that embodies it. But it’s also about vulnerability, and not letting yourself be hurt while also working through things and trying again. About preferring something real over whatever fantasy you had about a relationship. And on Jason’s side, it’s about how sometimes, you lack the installation disk for things other people take for granted, and this a fantasy about someone teaching you.

(…it’s also what got me started talking to @atasteforsuicidal, so there’s that.)

rewind, fast forward, stop (Gen)

This is on the shorter side. I was hesitant to put it on this list at first, tbh, but dammit, I still like it, and I remember the feeling when writing this that oh… this is not gonna have a happy ending, is it. Which, if you know me, is highly unusual. So it’s on here for the amount of yelling it’s gotten me alone.

We wanted miracles (they didn't happen) (JayDick)

I didn’t really write much else this summer. It was difficult to focus on anything. I was working too much, applying for jobs that weren’t there, there were more health things happening in my family, and, you know, the pandemic. I’m very grateful for the exchange keeping me focused and giving me those word sprints.

This fic really goes to the core of what I love about JayDick, y’know? The idea that they are very different people with fundamentally the same values, who could be great for each other if they managed to understand each other. And I like that I (hopefully) managed to balance that with some humor. A lot of this fic was fun to write because there are fundamentally ridiculous elements in there. Being able to play with the telepathic bond and show both the sad and the funny sides felt like doing fanfic right, if that’s not too conceited to say.

Keep you warm (JayRoyTim)

Look. The plot is stupid. This is ‘Idiots to lovers’ in a nutshell. Everyone is oblivious af.

God, it was so much fun to write! The pining, the bed sharing, the hurt/comfort… the midnight conversations, the ‘touch him and you’ll die’… I liked that. I liked that so much that this was supposed to be 600 words, then 5k max, and then it was 17k, which, for me, is extremely long. So I’m a little proud of that, too, even if it’s not about the stats.

2020 CREATOR WRAP

2020 Creator Wrap: Favorite Works

I was tagged by both @primeemeraldheiress and @irolltwenties, and I am so sorry for the delay in doing this!

Rules: it’s time to love yourselves! choose your 5 (or so) favorite works you created in the past year (fics, art, edits, etc.) and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you brought to the world in 2020. tag as many writers/artists/etc. as you want (fan or original) so we can spread the love and link each other to awesome works!

Naturally, I can only really work with things that I’ve actually posted for this, but I have to admit that one or two of the threads @kiseiakhun and I have done in preparation for TTGB might have deserved to make the list. At the start of quarantine, we were... very busy. The follow-through on editing has been lacking, and I apologize to everyone patiently waiting for updates.

That said, I actually did a lot more posted writing than I realized, I think. I ended the year with an AO3 word count of 232775 for the year, which is wild enough on it’s own, but considering there has been so much more that i’ve written that’s not finished yet? I’m pretty proud of myself.

1. go on and shatter (i’m all you need)

this is, uhhhh, my most re-read of my own works. no shame. i fucking love this story. it has so many of the things i love, because writing it was pretty much entirely an endeavor in self-indulgence. i know the main kink (pet play) isn’t for everyone, but it’s... one of my, like, top three, and i was so eager to try my hand at it - and so, so happy with the result. the sequel has been in the works for a while, and it bums me out that my inspiration keeps coming and going, but it’s largely because i have two very clear scenes i want to write in this verse, and i’m still sorting out how to blend them. i’ve also been hesitating on something i want to include, but... well. again, self-indulgent as fuck.

2. so deep your dna’s being messed with my touch (so real, fueling the fire until we combust)

i really, really enjoyed having the chance to write this darker, morally-ambiguous version of dick. i also enjoyed getting to try my hand at piss kink, and i’m pretty happy with the plot. i still think about this ‘verse all the damn time, and i definitely have intentions to do more with it - i’m just caught on the dilemma of whether or not i can convincingly keep jason ignorant to dick’s manipulations.

3. they say we’ll rot in hell (but i don’t think we will)

i have wanted to write some joyfire for so long, and i was so thrilled by how well-received it was when i finally gave it a shot. one of my favourite comments from last year was on this fic. i might not write in this ‘verse again, but jason, roy, and kori’s dynamic is one that i really do want to do more with. i just. love them so much?? it was fun to explore my views on them.

4. stars are in your eyes and they're saying you want me (all these things we're doing, does it make you feel sorry?) - chapter 3

it probably seems weird to specify a chapter here, since the entire wip thus far came out in 2020, but chapter three was originally written to be a standalone within the TTGB series before kis and i decided it made sense to merge it into stars. i’m stupidly happy with the entire fic so far, but it’s also largely kis’ writing and not mine, so i can’t take the credit here. but this scene was important to me because i have a lot of headcanons surrounding jason’s past in the ‘verse, especially pertaining to his time being catatonic in gotham, and this fic was my first chance to start really playing with it. i enjoyed writing this, and i was proud of myself when i finished it. i still enjoy going back to re-read it from time to time.

5. if i should be so bold, i'd ask you to hold my heart in your hand - chapter 6

this wip started in 2019, but chapter 6 came out in early 2020, and i was crazy proud of it. it wasn’t actually something i intended to write originally. i’d considered tossing it into a 5+1-style sidefic, but i realised it needed to be included in the main story. it was important to me to explore jason’s trauma, and i think that skipping over this heat would have made it much harder to show the progression of his trust in his new family. it also ended up serving as a good place to work in tim starting to think about his and jason’s biological differences, and i think it gave me an opportunity to start humanizing janet a little, too. i didn’t intend for this to focus much on her outside of the role of master-planner, but this chapter helped me see that i want her to grow throughout this story, too. her scene with tim and the part immediately after may seem small, but they came to feel rather important one as i was writing them.

[sqoiler]

Do you have any OC? Doesn't matter for what. OC's for your own stories? OC's form 7 years ago? Super embarrassing self insert batgirl OC's ? Tell us about them. Unless you have work. then do your work. hugs.

hoo boy this is gonna get long real fast

as many of y’all know, I’m writing a book, so here’s a bit of the main cast:

Princess Robin Rebecca--the protag, a teenager who decides to cure an illness through magical means. The key to curing this illness falls right into her hands via a case of mistaken “chosen one”

TT--the other protag. Originally a boy, considering making a girl. Robin’s love interest and full of family issues

Lark--Robin’s half fairy best friend, who’s ace and literally only cares about dragons

Princess Madelyn Rose--Robin’s other best friend, who happens to be gay for Robin, is kinda the outside help, sometimes just sits around and looks pretty

Cherrie and Taylor--winged twins who were supposed to be the chosen ones, however the spell failed and now Robin thinks the chosen one is her

Bianca--TT’s helpful little sister, training to be a wizard and fully figure out how to do the spell that will make her body match her gender

Queen Gothel--Robin’s abusive mom, obviously the main bad guy

King I-Forget-His-Name--Robin’s dad, kinda passive but means well

and there’s obvs others but i’m not going to go into the whole cast

I also have these OCs who will probably be the stars of a comic, someday, who knows

Crystal Arlington--Bright, sunny, cheerful, big fan of the color pink

Sam Bryce--rarely smiles, blue haired girl, Crystal’s BFF

Blueberry the Psycho--small troll thing, makes up evil plots, 

Liz--Blueberry’s human clone, really super nice

Stick---His real name is “Matthew Matthews”, giant crush on Crystal, all around “nice guy”

Erin Arlington--Crystal’s cousin, jealous of Crystal, generally bitter and petty

Crystal’s Evil Older Sister--CEOS, for short. Nobody calls her by her first name, and only I know what it is. Hangs out with Blueberry, texts a lot

Emily Arlington--Crystal and Erin’s cousin. Very smart but has an irrational fear of mermaids

Koral--the mermaid that (accidentally) gave Emily her fear

Dove Lucas---likes music a lot, has purple hair 

Raven Lucas---Dove’s twin sister, has greyish white hair, likes sports

Jay Lucas--really tall, Raven and Dove’s older brother, kinda chill

Aiden Quigely--bakes cupcakes but would never tell anyone, has a crush on Aud

Aud Bennet--Her full name is not “Audrey”, it’s something stupid, and she hunts monsters like Blueberry and is completely oblivious to Aiden’s crush

there’s of course, more, but i don’t wanna get into that right now

and of course I have Batman next generation OCs, hold on

Thomas Grayson--Dick and Bab’s son, becomes Batman

Jamie Grayson--Thomas’s sister, becomes Spoiler

Penny Wayne--the heir to Wayne Enterprises, Damian’s child (but more like a clone--Talia decided she needed grandkids, and Damian wasn’t getting onto that fast enough, so she decided to “help him along”), becomes Nightwing

Marty Drake-Kent--adopted spawn of Timkon, decided crime fighting wasn’t his thing, became Oracle

I-forget-her-name-and-I-can’t-look-it-up-rn Thomas --Duke and Claire’s child, becomes Batgirl

Miranda Cain Row---Harper and Cass’s adopted daughter, becomes Black Bat

Sam Harper-Todd--Biological child of Kori and Jason, actual child of Joyfire, becomes the cutest Robin ever (though none of his parents really wanted him to)

and that’s all, I think, omg

check the “my book” (i think) tag for some art and more descriptions of the people from my book, check the “sam and crystal” for some of them, and there’s some pictures under “next gen batfam” but i need to update that tag because it’s before i recently revamped this

ask me stuff!
