Hey there, y'all! 
          
          I just wanted to announce that my account is probably going to fade into obscurity. I'm not sure if I want to continue crossposting onto Wattpad now that I've moved primarily onto Ao3. 
          
          I'm under the same username over there, Its_Kingston, if you want to pop by.
          
          As for my reasoning:
          1. I don't like dealing with book covers over on Wattpad. Pretty self-explanatory, but I think they're time consuming, and are usually not a reflection of the work, or the quality of the writing, but Wattpad tends to display more cover than summary, in my opinion.
          
          2. The tagging and filtering on Wattpad is horrible. This has been said a thousand times, but it remains true. You cannot sort and find what you want to read on here like you can on Ao3, so I feel like I can't properly tag my work, especially as I grow older and find my themes growing alongside me. I can rate my fics "mature" on here, but until you open that thing, you don't know if I mean mature for suicide, or mature for sex.
          
          3. There is no CSS/siteskins/workskins on Wattpad like on Ao3, so some of my fics flat out will not work on this site. On Ao3, "Double Entendre" has a workskin that makes the messages look like actual text bubbles, and a fic I still have in planning is going to be a full Choose Your Own Adventure fic with anchor links to make it work, but Wattpad doesn't support those so I can't crosspost that entire fic. I already put out a CYOA ShinDeku fic on Ao3 months ago that hasn't been crossposted for the same reason though it's not until now that I'm in the process of adding anchor links. I just need to copy/paste, and then put it back up.
          
          4. It's just more work, and I don't even know how many people are on here to solely read it. If you are on Wattpad just to read my fics, 1) I don't believe you lmao, and 2) hop over to Ao3 instead, it's nice, I promise.
          
          If anyone wants me to keep posting here, make yourself known, please. If there's still people here, I don't mind putting in the work.

Making and putting up book covers (finally) so expect to see anything without a cover get one in the next few hours. Making them all myself, so it’s gonna take a hot second lol

The first two chapters of But Friend, This Cage is Inside Out, along with a tags/TW chapter are officially up! I put the first two up, because they're both sort of short.
          
          Also, thought I should mention it to anyone who doesn't know, the title of this fic is from the song Willard! by Will Wood (he's my favorite musician!)
          
          Expect a new chapter every Friday, and enjoy! :D

I don't know why Villainous got picked up by the algorithm again, but it did, and there's been an influx of comments lately. It's been very motivating, and I'm now happy to announce that the fic I've been working on since October 2023 is approaching its ending. 
          
          I'm thinking 2-3 more chapters, which would put it at 29-30 chapters, and a little over 100k words. (It sits at roughly 98k right now, making it the longest fic I've ever written.)
          
          All of this is to say, it'll be out soon! I want to finish this chapter I'm on, then do the editing for the first arc and get it polished. After that, it'll be good to go up! I'd imagine it'll be weekly, maybe twice weekly posting schedule.
          
          Although the contents of this fic are a mystery, I'll say 2 things:
          1) It's togachako (MHA)
          2) It's angsty --- as Wattpad has no tagging system like Ao3, expect the first chapter to act as that, like in Villainous 
          
          Anyway, I'm heading back to it. Hope everyone's excited! :D

Hey there! It's been a minute since I posted one of these, but I wanted to let everyone know that I'm working on a rewrite of Villainous!
          
          So far, I'm only done with the planning for the first three chapters, one of which being the prologue. I'm not sure how long it'll take, but I want to make sure it's awesome! I'll answer any question in the area beneath this, but before that, I'll answer a few that I suspect anyone who liked the original will have:
          
          Q: Will it follow the original plot, and only change the writing?
          A: Nope! Although I want to keep it similar, there's already been a few major changes in these first few chapters!
          
          Q: Will the original Villainous be taken down?
          A: No, never! I know plenty of people like it, and don't want to take that from them!
          
          Feel free to voice opinions and ask questions below, like I said. I'll keep y'all posted as I progress further! :D

Hi @Its_Kingston, I wanted to ask if I could translate your fanfiction Villainous into French. I really liked this fanfiction, and I’d love to make a translation for French speakers who can't read English.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! >:D

oop- 100 people follow me now, wilddd. Glad y'all are here, and I hope you enjoy what I'm writing! :D

Y'all ever just be chilling out, then the fanfiction demon comes up behind you, saying sweet words and patting your shoulder and tells you "write that fic you've been wanting to read. Let it consume your conscious thoughts and dreams, let it dictate your life until it's finish." Not speaking from personal experience or anything

My list of togachako songs: (I'm not projecting, you are!)
          
          Red Wine Supernova - Chappell Roan (Listen to the first like, 15 seconds if you don't agree, then come back and tell me it isn't)
          
          Against the Kitchen Floor - Will Wood (Toga redemption arc song goes crazy)
          
          Yes, to Err is Human. So Don't Be One - Will Wood (Just ??? it fits them. It's also one of my favorite songs. Well, all of these are.)
          
          Ordinary - Joriah Kwamé (What do you mean this is the lumity song? No, I think it can be both.)
          
          Monster - Adventure Time (What do you mean this is the bubbline song? No, I think it can be both.)
          
          ..well, better than the alternative - Will Wood (Hear me out, IT CAN WORK)
          
          ><><><
          
          That's all off the top of my head rn, thanks for coming to my TED Talk!
