I won!!! I can't believe it! It sounded like something so difficult to do, almost impossible, but here I am!

It certainly wasn't easy--I had to write 7K in the last day to win--but I actually had a lot of fun working on my writing this month, and even though I couldn't finish my original novel (got 33K in and hit a block) it's still a lot more than I've done for one single story in such a short time, ever. The other 17K I wrote for my longfics, which is amazing since I hadn't been working on them a lot these last few months and this gives me both a cushion for updates and the impulse to keep on working on them.

The best part yesterday (the day of the 7K madness) was having to let go of all my narrative doubts and just go with what felt right to write, scenes that amused me, etc. I got many things that surprised me but got me excited all over again about these stories, which is a bonus (even if I'm pretty sure some or many of those words are garbage and will have to be edited out xD)

All in all I had a great first experience and I hope I can do it again next year.

Hey! So, I'm doing NaNo this year. I attempted it a couple of times before (once proper NaNo and once Camp, if I remember right) but it really amounted to little. I did finish writing the draft of a fic that had me suffering for months, but that one ended way before the 50k mark. An the one time I attempted an original, I don't think I managed even 1k.

Actually, that original was like, the vague idea of the story I'm writing this year. And I say vague because damn if it didn't change a whole lot since back then. I think my biggest problem was that I didn't really have anything decided. I had the characters (unnamed, and some didn't have a specified approximate age, even) but I hadn't decided who would be my main characters, or even what my conflict was! It was driving me nuts! So it makes a lot of sense that I barely managed a scene, and not a complete one at that. It felt stilted and awkward and nothing like I imagined it. And so I didn't write anymore, and the story has been percolating in the back of my mind ever since.

When October came this year and the madness that is NaNo started... )

Yes, you read that right. I'm not dead. I just can't seem to be able to update any kind of journal in a relatively periodic fashion. Ah, it is what it is. I don't really know what to say, either, so I'm just gonna make a list of things I've worked on since May. Divided by fandom because, uh. Because.

The month is about to end and I'm so happy I joined getyourwordsout! We had a 'Seven Days Seven Stories' challenge last week and it did wonders not only for my wordcount but also for getting lots of new material written, particularly for my two WIPs. I have to edit a lot of it, but still, I wrote around 15k in that week and that's a lot for me.

FICS POSTED:
  • i carry your heart (Chapter 16) (Fandoms: Harry Potter & Katekyo Hitman Reborn!; Pairing: Harry Potter/Skull; Soulmate AU; WIP.)
  • a ghost of a chance (Fandom: Naruto; Pairing: Haruno Sakura/Yamanaka Ino; Mystery, Ghosts, Light-Hearted, Past Character Death.)

WRITING:
  • WSCS (I outlined second, third, and a tiny bit of fourth year, yay! ~5.5K)
  • i carry your heart (chapters 17, 18, 19, 20 and part of 21)
kurosakiami01: zhu hong smiling (Default)
Hello! It's been a while, huh? Uni's been kicking my ass and I've barely written anything in the last month. Two months, if I'm going to be honest. And then when I did I didn't feel like making a post here *huffs*. But I've made an effort today and I decided why the heck not?

Academically I'm doing well, at least, so that's something. I'm also enjoying learning Mandarin, so that's a plus.

FICS POSTED
  • like a phoenix, eternal (Fandom: Captain Marvel; G; Pairing: Carol Danvers/Maria Rambeau; Canon Compliant, Established Relationship.)
  • i carry your heart (Chapter 15) (Fandoms: Harry Potter & Katekyo Hitman Reborn!; Pairing: Harry Potter/Skull; Soulmate AU; WIP.)

WRITING
  • WSCS: bits and pieces here and there.
kurosakiami01: zhu hong applying red lipstick (zhu hong lipstick)
Hello again! How are you? I'm finally over my cold and so much happier for it, ha! This week was a very busy week but very productive in academic matters, at least. My course-load is rather heavy this year but I'm managing somehow... (let's hope it lasts!)

Mandarin learning is going great! I can at least string basic sentences together, so that's... something :P (It's been only three classes of two hours each, so I count that as a big improvement!)

As for my writing, there's been some:

FICS POSTED:
  •  out of the clear blue sky (Fandoms: Teen Wolf & Twilight; M; Pairing: Sheriff Stilinski/Charlie Swan; Crack, Didn't Know They Were Dating.) [With this one I got a bingo line on genprompt_bingo!]

WRITING:
  • Finished rewriting what I had of WSCS! Now I must finish the third chapter and write some more and probably by then I'll feel comfortable enough to start posting!
kurosakiami01: zhu hong smiling (Default)
 I have a cold and I hate everything. Ugh. I haven't written anything in a week because I've been in an NCIS fic reading mood and writing felt like pulling teeth. 

My Chinese learning is going well. Pinyin is so darn useful.
kurosakiami01: zhu hong smiling (weilan serious)
 So... hi? It's been a while -- though at least it's still March! I haven't posted anything here because I've not finished anything to post anywhere this month yet. I mean, I've written some but it has mostly been the WSCS rewrite so.

Classes have just started and I'm excited but also tired, haha. It's gonna be a demanding year, but I think I'm gonna enjoy it a lot.

Today I had my first Mandarin class!! It was super interesting -- we are starting with pinyin and I just know that tones will be the death of me. I'm determined to learn, though!!

I've been watching Nirvana in Fire and it's amazing. A funny thing is that even though it's barely 14 episodes longer than Guardian it's taking me way more time to finish. I think it might be because of plot complexity. (I love Guardian so much but the plot is very straight-forward and there's a rather small cast. Nirvana in Fire is a lot more complex and it has so many characters it's a bit overwhelming.) I've watched up to ep 47 and I'm both looking forward and dreading the episodes that are left, even though I know how it ends because I'm a curious woman and I've already read so much fanfiction for this drama that I've had all the spoilers. (Watching the source material is still breathtaking!!)

As for my writing, well, I hope to have something to post before March ends. We'll see.

 I should have posted yesterday, but....... I didn't. In any case. It was a good week for my writing (a lot of f/f just in time for femslash February!)

FICS POSTED:
TEASERS & OTHER MEDIA:
WRITING:
  • WSCS
  • A bit of my Original Project.

kurosakiami01: zhu hong smiling (Default)
I've never ever done Icons before. Look at what Guardian has made me do.

These are certainly not the best, but as I am taking screencaps as I rewatch the show I decided I might as well *shrugs.* They are only cropped and resized -- I'm not too ambitious as I'm barely starting :P

(I'd certainly not turn down pointers!)

These are from Ep 1 & 2!


Samples:

So, here you have a couple of teasers I posted on Tumblr of the Wisps of Smoke and Colourful Souls rewrite!

[WSCS is a Harry Potter/Katekyou Hitman Reborn! crossover. Harry/Reborn; Soulmate!AU. THE SLOWEST of burns. I started it in 2016 and now I've started revising it and trying to write more for it - hopefully before May I can start posting again.]

 I PASSED MY EXAM!! YAY!! I was also very productive, writing-wise:

FICS POSTED:
WRITING:
  • WSCS drabble 4 (finished) + ~2.5k of new content
  • The Cora/Lavender fic (almost done!)
kurosakiami01: zhu hong smiling (zhao yunlan)
 Hi, again! I haven't done that much writing this week, having to study for my exam and all, but still! Here's what I did:

FICS POSTED:
WRITING:
  • A Guardian Fix-it
  • A bit of the Cora/Lavender fic

I hope next week is more productive!

kurosakiami01: zhu hong smiling (weilan laughing)
 So, apparently my love for Guardian brought about a keen interest to learn some Chinese. So I just enrolled in a course. Ahahaha I don't even know how I'll juggle it with all the Uni courses I have to take this year BUT I WILL.

In other news (?), I just sat for my Linguistics 1 final and I think I did okay? Next week I'll have the results. Yikes. (I just hope I don't have to retake it!)

Fic News post will come after I take a nap and probably after I write something today. Yesterday was a zero day as I was busy revising! :P

Have a little Shen Wei introspection that I wrote around episode 10, I think? I'm not too sure *shrugs*

Warnings: it's a little sad, but well it goes with the show. Ah, it's First Person POV because that's what I felt like writing at that moment.

 

shen wei loves zhao yunlan, and sometimes that hurts )

 Another week has gone by... this one was weird. I mean, I've written, but I haven't finished anything at all (not even something small). Oh, well, I blame the studying (I have to take a final soon) and also my new obsession with the Guardian drama (!!! Yun Lan and Shen Wei are so darn cute!!!)

Anyway, this is what it is:

FICS POSTED:
  • None

WRITING:
  • Chapter 14 of i carry your heart
  • A scene of my Original Project
  • More of the Lily/Narcissa
  • Bits and pieces of some random ideas
kurosakiami01: zhu hong smiling (zyl hands up)
(Okay it's a bit late and actually the early hours of the 2nd but shhh)

Here's my weekly update!

FICS POSTED:
WRITING:
  • WSCS Drabble 4 (started)
  • The HP/Teen Wolf Cora/Lavender fic
  • Outlining an Original Work that has been lurking in my head for years
  • The cracky Teen Wolf/Twilight crossover
  • A Lily/Narcissa inspired by tinkling bells that I might submit for the hpwlwbigbang

kurosakiami01: zhu hong smiling (zhu hong smiling)
Hello, again! Another week has gone by. What do I have to show for it? Eh, well:

FICS POSTED:
