Have I been writing? No. I'm a failure as a fanfic author right now. But I'll work on it. Eventually. Any day now...
          	
          	I'm not a sci-fi enjoyer generally — mostly because I'm a thicky thicky dumb dumb when it comes to science — but Project Hail Mary made me cry so much.

I'm not a crybaby but heck do I look like it with the most unexpected movies ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ
          	
          	Anyway, I'm reading the book because I want to suffer some more, and right now I feel like a space expert. NASA wants me, trust. Ask me anything.

I was cringe but I was free.

@AnAlienFromJupiter  'kay, so first of all: Why is your annoying social feed gone but not mine? Favouritism much, Wattpad?  ಠ‸ಠ 
          	  
          	  Second: Great to know Project Hail Mary is well worth reading/watching. I've been meaning to rent the book in the library, I might do it after reading House Of Leaves. Thanks for the rec! ( • ̀ω•́ )b ✧
          	  
          	  Third: Girl, I also haven't been writing much; you're not the only one  (´•̥ω•̥`)  In my defense, I'm in the middle of applying for uni and moving places, so I got a lot on my mind right now. You're not a failure of a fanfic writer - no one is. It's a hobby, something you commit to yourself, and it can't kill people if you don't pursue your own hobby. We'll be looking forward to your next project, whatever it may be, and if it only publishes in 2030 with an author's note saying: "Sorry for the delay, I was in a four-year coma" then you're a true fanfic writer xD

AO3 account has FINALLY been secured •́⁠ ⁠ ⁠‿⁠ ⁠,⁠•̀

          I will transfer "Bamboo Grove" within the next week. 
          
          Now let a boomer figure out how to operate all the little buttons in her own time. I don't even know how to change the profile picture...

Valentine's Day is in a few days, and I still don't understand the whole hEaD oVeR hEeLs phrase.
          
          I've always imagined it's someone doing some extreme flexibility routine where they touch their shoulders with their feet... and it's been my image of what people look like when they're in love for years.
          
          Being in love looks painful.
          
          Yikes.

TL;DR: AO3 account, yay or nay?
          
          Just stumbled across some covers I made — some that didn't make the cut, others that were here before I changed them. Looking back at the "Prey & Predator" one especially makes me so sad. IT'S SO UGLY! 
          
          Thank God for "Chrysanthemum Garden" whose first cover is the final cover and the reason I changed all others. Hate the way it's written, but purple cover go weee
          
          On that note, oh how I wish I could rewind and make some very needed adjustments on every book before "Bamboo Grove"... Maybe it's my distaste for first-person narrative, maybe it's how much I hated the years in which I wrote those stories in... or maybe it's Maybelline ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ
          
          I definitely should set up an AO3 account because I know that it's generally favoured by fanfic readers, but the UI makes me cry... Plus, I'd probably REWRITE everything before "Bamboo Grove", which is definitely a good idea, but it would also take time... but it might get me writing constantly...
          
          (If you couldn't tell, I'm actually in love with "Bamboo Grove"... I've reread it at least twice... Is this a vanity project...?)

I'm 100% on board and would totally support you if you ever decide to make an AO3 account (honestly, it’s one of my favorite spots to read fanfics) I absolutely adored your Prey and Predator fic, it’s one of those stories that opened my mind to new ideas and basically rescued me from the boredom of the 2020 lockdown. I just wish you all the best with future projects, and I’m so thankful for giving us one of the best fics I’ve ever read on Wattpad. They’re truly a hidden gem! (。’▽’。)♡

@ AnAlienFromJupiter  yay, I really like to read on AO3 due to it lack of ad, I really love your "Prey & Predator", it was my favourite of all the Ranpo fics I had read before. Thank you for write that one (I hope I didn't make you feel uncomfortable).

@ShinjiTarou  Oh, forget about the website. Unless that changes today, it seems to be permanently offline, starting at least two weeks ago. Aww, I didn't know that... Sorry for spamming you, then :'(

Currently rereading BEAST to force myself to get back into writing cuz I've got writer's block...
          
          Anyone who's read my books and comments knows how much I love Akutagawa, and yet, met with the opportunity to focus my plot around him, words fail... Which is funny because I've written not one but TWO short stories around the same concept for a class I had a while back...
          
          Maybe I love him too much to the point of never being able to do him justice (cringe) ಠ⁠︵⁠ಠ
          

ShinjiTarou

@AnAlienFromJupiter I think it's natural to struggle writing a story for your favourite character, because you just wanna do them justice T^T

It's been, what, 7 months since I made the initial announcement regarding an upcoming Akutagawa x Reader fic, and I am proud to announce that so far I've written:
          
          The prologue (clown emoji)
          
          I'm having a severe case of writer's block which I blame 100% on Akutagawa being such a cutie patootie munchkin man.
          
          Alright, for real now... Life has had its ups and downs lately. I've practically become a granny with how many meds I'm taking for a whole load of health issues (I'm not dying yet) and I'm second-guessing my writing so badly... 
          
          I've done some writing outside Wattpad — which, when I look back, I ask myself what writing god graced me — but I've had certain doubts regarding my style, which has been described as being quite "heavy" and "bleak". So what I'm an angsty teen? It's not a phase, guys! (For legal reasons that is a joke).
          
          Likewise, I unfortunately happen to live in the UK and the Online Safety Act has me worried that I might not be able to put out some, if not all, chapters of "Still Life" due to their mature nature and content. The issue could probably be fixed with ID verification, but I'm not giving third party authenticators my identity~ (On the bright side, this issue shouldn't persist too long for me given how there are abstract plans made to leave the country within the next couple of years).
          
          Aaaannd I'm also procrastinating a lot... Go ahead and bully me into writing more :<
          
          But yes, just wanted to let y'all know I'm still alive in the big 2025. I should definitely rework my notes for the new fic and/or just get on with it and see how it goes... 
          
          P.s.: The grammar in this whole announcement makes me feel old, so for the newer generation who are using Wattpad, umm... This app is full of rizz chat, no cap!
          
          I'll see myself out now :]

@AnAlienFromJupiter To be honest, i've always loved your handwriting, it's always so poetic and clearly shows how much thought you put into your stories. Please do take care of yourself!! If anything were to happen to you i'd go into full on depression [this is a threat >:( ] as always take your time post stories, rome wasn't built in a day. but if you want, i  can bully you into it :> and yes @ShinjiTarou you did use it right :) Love you all!!! take care and make sure to drink water!

@AnAlienFromJupiter  No clue why people would complain about your writing, it's heavenly, but I understand your willingness to make it more accessible. Also, do not worry about procrastination, good things take time and we are patient :) We also have lives to survive, so I hope you take care of your health first and foremost. That said, thank you for your thoughtful announcement, take care, and you are absolute GOAT! (God, did I use that right...?)

Hi, author. Sorry, this is me asking about your novel Pray and Predator, which I want to translate into Indonesian. Since the application I'm using can no longer be used, can I make some changes in the middle of the chapter until the end? If you allow it, I will still write your name as the author of Pray and Predator.
