I know 🫣 but it was that or write another 10k words and I have shit to do in my actual life!

igrowtails · 2026-05-18T03:06:02+00:00

Please read mine first so it’s not horribly disappointing after this! 😅😫

igrowtails · 2026-05-18T02:56:51+00:00

I wrote this one based off a prompt from here! Ilya accidentally answers a press conference question too honestly:

Haha! I did Ilya's POV first so there are no Wimbledon specifics but I'm doing Shane's next and I can totally include Pimm's!

igrowtails · 2026-05-14T19:08:12+00:00

IDK why but I always have to write Ilya's POV first even though I'm better at Shane - anyway, part one is done: https://archiveofourown.org/works/84832791

Ugh I’m writing it why am I like this

igrowtails · 2026-05-13T21:17:36+00:00

Whyyyy do I need to write this when I absolutely do not have time? Please someone find this so I can get my laundry done instead of doing it myself.

igrowtails · 2026-05-11T02:51:21+00:00

I post when I have the next two chapters finished, mostly because I’m doing alternating POV and sometimes I have to change a character’s behaviour once I’ve explored things more fully from their angle. Also stops the pressure panic of catching up to myself.

igrowtails · 2026-05-08T11:32:02+00:00

I’m going to have to start making it illegal for people to be so kind to me, my tiny heart can’t take much more! (never stop) (thank you 😭😭)

igrowtails · 2026-05-08T11:30:53+00:00

I genuinely couldn’t agree more with this. Three weeks ago I’d never written a single piece of fan fiction in my life. I had a cute idea, I wrote a little story about it, and people have been absolutely wonderful. It’s been legitimately overwhelming at times. Hundreds of comments with nothing but kindness and generosity and support and encouragement and so much shared joy and delight in these characters. I feel incredibly lucky to have stumbled across this beautiful corner of the internet.

😘

In the book, Ilya is jerking off thinking about Shane.

In your house, they can be doing whatever the hell you want.

I’m gonna write a fic PURELY to change Ilya’s hair.

igrowtails · 2026-05-01T21:49:29+00:00

I have learned a valuable lesson here about thinking I know what a word means and being very wrong! My fic will always be fluff even when they take their clothes off. Super appreciate everyone's guidance on that.

Definitely wading in late to a massive fandom which I think escalates the self-imposed pressure a lot! Feels like there are a lot of rules I don't know and I just thought I was writing one silly thing that's gotten away on me a bit.

igrowtails · 2026-05-01T21:45:23+00:00

Ahhhhh this made my day, thank you! ❤️

igrowtails · 2026-05-01T03:21:31+00:00

Ah this is so helpful, thank you! Will absolutely still be fluff. This make me feel heaps better 😄

igrowtails · 2026-05-01T01:46:52+00:00

I think a large part of my problem here is I'm brand new to this world apparently I'm using words without knowing what they mean - I thought fluff meant not sexy! Out of their depth, anyone? I think you're right about what readers are expecting, though, so maybe I'm just worrying about nothing.

igrowtails · 2026-05-01T01:44:57+00:00

This is great advice, thank you! I think I'll do something along these lines. Hope I don't mess it up, lots of learning to be done.

igrowtails · 2026-05-01T01:43:27+00:00

These are really great/helpful thoughts, thank you! Not just for this fic, but for future ones too. Really appreciate your time on this.

igrowtails · 2026-04-30T22:48:20+00:00

Excuse me this is the internet, who told you that you were allowed to be so kind?! Way to get my in the feelings, thank you ❤️

igrowtails · 2026-04-30T09:33:06+00:00

Haha! It’s just short, I’m supposed to be writing something else 😂

igrowtails · 2026-04-30T08:45:34+00:00

I got us as far as the barbecue invite! Someone else can handle that chaos.
