Hi :> I am alive and well! Surviving and trying to lock in with my works for more updates.
          	
          	I made a new book! Now that's what I call Zinema! It's an unfinished, on-going collection of published zine works I'm in! Slow updates, might include my own personal zines for OC lore or something. Just wanted a place to put these stories up :) Not a super big announcement but figured I should say something in the interim <3

Happy New Year! I am back on my meds (long ass story) and generally getting my life in order. I expect 2025 to be filled with a lot of personal growth and major changes so I may be inactive here and then, but I still intend to write and post for my fics and stand alone reader inserts. Hope everyone is staying safe, warm and that the new year brings bountiful kindness and beauty to our lives.

@FirstMateSimp All the love to you my friend, whatever you end up doing, I'll just be glad to have you in my orbit when you're able <3

Decided to drop the writing challenge. Wasn't feeling it anymore, and I have more pressing things to focus on. See y'all next year with more sinful thots

@FirstMateSimp no worries! Sometimes the mood is just not right. Take your time focusing on other things and relax where you can. It is a busy holiday and can be stressful. Spend time with those you love and cherish. You got this next year. Be proud of what you have accomplished as well. Happy Holidays!

FuckNoWriMo - I am so excited to try my shot at @quinloki writing challenge for the month of December. I'm aiming for the Fuck It category, meaning I'm challenging myself to write at least 50,000 words by the end of the year. Tall order!
          
          My goals are to get back into daily writing habits, finish a fanfic or two, finish all my WIPS and drafts that I've let collect dust. And for added fun, I'll add my titles below with current word counts and the ending word count. You can send me questions about my works in progress at any time :)

@FirstMateSimp Huzzah with another FuckNoWriMo member! That's a lot of drafts and WIPs. I feel better about mine now! Just don't burnout and have lots of snacks and hydration on hand. And I love the title Hickey Hockey, that's delightful.

Thinking about making SFW versions of some of my fanfics, namely my OC ones. Aside from the steamy smut, I do think those have genuinely interesting stories and I know not everyone wants to read fic for the sexy times...
          
          idk I also have a habit of people pleasing and i think - now that im on twt again - that there's some sort of divide between self shipping and how seriously its being taken. my oc fics are strictly my own aus where I'm non-sharing, but that doesn't mean I don't believe in people having their own fun shipping themselves or shipping canon ships that suit their fancies, I literally also write reader/self insert stories. I believe in sharing the dolls Oda gifted us, and sometimes I'm playing alone in my own Barbie dreamhouse. 
          
          So in the interest of maintaining reader attention without getting icked out by my shameless self shipping scenes, I can cut those down so it's an easier read and tbf, it will cut down on the reading time as well lol...the romance is still there, I'm just not gonna oversaturate it. Plus, I hope this keeps my books up without violating any alleged community guidelines.
          
          I plan to have this done by years end, so thanks for bearing with - or giving it a second chance if you couldn't get past it the first time!
          
          Also - tomorrow I am posting the final chapters for What's the Magic Word? - FINALLY! totally serious this time, this fic is COMPLETE! So uh, yeah. HYPE!!!

Oh Shiznit, for real???? Two? Holy crap dude that sucks major ass, I'm sorry that happened to you   never had it happen myself, but I dread it

@Ginger1101 you can't see it, but I want you to visualize Chopper getting flustered when complimented, cause that's me right now :3
            and yeah, do whatever you gotta do to make your space comfortable for you however you see fit. I think after 2 books being taken down, I need to do it as a precaution more than anything lmaoooo

Hi readers! 
          
          Btw, if you're saving mine (or my friends works) in your saved reading lists with asshole names like, "this is trash," "idfk why I read this," "horrible/bad," "derogatory term" or anything in bad spirit, you're getting blocked. 
          
          Go fuck yourself too.
          
          Everyone else who actually treats writers like people, I love you!

FirstMateSimp
