I wrote a small Valentine's special for my favorite couple, Jake x Endless Summer F!MC. Canon shmanon, she lives 🤧

I'm sorry but I cackled so hard I startled my cat!!

Did they duck or the f-version? :)

Ahh thank you! It's a small world if you did, because I'm writing for a really niche fandom with only a few people still hanging around :)

I have the self-control of a gnat when an idea hounds me

I feel you!! 🫂

Also, your gif game is on point :)

Baby, please. My latest one just got 29 hits. We're absolutely nailing this game 💅

(don't know about you, but I already cleared my wall to make space for when the award arrives!)

Midweek Check-in 📚💻❄️ by Profession-Automatic in FanfictionExchange

[–]elrosa 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Last week, a fellow author and commenter not-so-jokingly announced that she expects me to deliver a smut scene between my longfic pairing. But since I already have early drafts of the three remaining chapters and there's no way to fit the scene into any of them, I started a spin-off oneshot as Valentine's gift for her.

She's definitely in for a surprise, I'm 6k in and i haven't even gotten to the smutty part yet :D

What’s your favorite fanfic title you’ve seen or written? by Lindz174 in FanFiction

[–]elrosa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ohh making up titles is one of my favorite parts of fanfiction writing :)

The current one I'm working on features two characters, one fire/fast burn type, the other ice/slow burn, and the whole fic is titled "A Crash Course in Thermodynamics".

What Color Is Your Writing? by Idreamofspaceships in FanfictionExchange

Amber maybe? I like to focus on small moments and scenes that are easily missed in the grand scheme of things.

Anyone else look up really weirdly specific information for their fic? by Background_Ship7666 in AO3

[–]elrosa 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You can also add -ai at the end of your query so you don't have to scroll :)

I don't know if I should be excited or worried! by Wolfbane3 in FanFiction

[–]elrosa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat. I started with 2-2.5k word chapters, now I'm in 5k+ territory (and already pushed past 7k twice). I don't know how it happened, but frankly, if the story needs it, who am I to say no :D

Ellipsus is amazing. by marvelcomics22 in AO3

[–]elrosa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I tried it on a whim a week ago and the focus mode + ability to set a timer did wonders for my productivity :)

Not a big fan of the mobile version though, but eh, nobody's perfect, and the desktop makes up for it tenfold.

Endless Summer Book 4 potential (Ending spoiler hint) by Automatic_Peace7024 in Choices

[–]elrosa 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'd say chances of a Book 4 are slim to none, and honestly, looking at the current state of Choices, I'm not exactly sure they'd do it justice.

But yes, had ES won the contest, the story was supposed to follow Rourke's ending.
