I reread my first mini summary post from earlier in the year and had to laugh at myself because.. I couldn't have expected this. Minusing the quick drabbles and the like that I wrote for Seraphim Slum because I am still very much obsessed with it, that makes 30 new works, aka 24 new works in the second-half of the year (?!)

The secret to this madness was undoubtedly fest signups... obviously my brain was yearning for a deadline replacement since uni is now well in my past, and what better way to provide that than over-commit to SVT fests and have to force your brain to cooperate?? But it worked, so!

SVT Girls
pleasures of trying something new
yuri cheolhao changed my brain and i am so very proud of it....and i was very pleased with the receiption too hehe

Dueteronomy 31:3
much more niche but also one i worked very hard on!! we know the devil has a special place in my heart

Pass The Josh
Statement #SA1230
another niche crossover/fusion i couldn't resist doing to put together an unconventional haoshua

stolen drinks and hurried breath
i remember this prompt fill being something i struggled quite a lot with because of how complicated it was shaping up to be, so in the end i pulled back a bit to have the seoksoo conversation take place... dialogue is forever the bane of my existence

Goopalz
somehow i ended up doing three prompt fills. idk what possessed me but im proud of the turnaround for these

good things come to those who wait
this is what i thought would be my magnum opus verhao submission, and im still reeling over how Tea 8 with vernon actually bceame a thing. cannot explain exactly what lead my brain to think of the chapter 2 with human furniture-ing but i'm not mad about it either

nature or nurture
i was pretty uncertain about the direction i ended up going in for this one so im glad anyone other than me enjoyed it (marked it as a success in my mind)

secure BOOt sequence
the prompt for this was forever haunting my brain and finally i decided to claim it last minute...ever so slightly tapping into fond(?) memories of playing cyberqueen in particular to channel the right pov vibe i wanted
very proud of myself for the execution tbh

Non-Fest Fic
so many...i guess in brief the highlights were

and the serpent said unto the host
truly my love letter to Seraphim Slum through jihancheolboo. it is another very niche piece but i am also very proud of it

immodesty or immorality
sometimes a text possesses you and you have no choice but to junhao-ify it. the one time i understood a fraction of witchboyjms junhao writing power

crying, the river is crying
this one came to life so quickly and also helped me kick off my seasons of bingo s10 completion (oh yeah another thing i signed up for). verhaoisms have taken over my mind just a little and they have not really gone away

the two transistor fics
two very niche and very different ones but i had to get the transistor brainworms exorcised after replaying it twice

the two network fishery fics
proud of myself for taking the plunge after spending too long flicking through the same pieces of fanart and the odd postype fanfic hehe... i would like to add to them next year:)

in every possibility
my svt secret santa fic! wanted to portray different jeongcheol-isms so of course i decided to visit a few different settings with cheol in tow...this was fun to write 

Yuletide 2024
I totally goofed up my Yuletide signup for this year but now I know what to do differently next time! As of posting I don't think fics have been revealed yet but I'm pretty proud of the one I whipped together for my recipient; good childhood nostalgia and I'm very pleased by the lovely comments it got:') 
 
 And actually I also want to congratulate myself on the extra fics I did this past week lmao I did not expect to be posting anything else beyond the secret santa piece

I broke the world for us - Briarwoods-ifying junhao was something I thought Id do next year but the images just wouldnt go away.... I still have thoughts about a few other takes on this so idk if Ill play around with them again next year

a delivery gone wrong (or right?) - there I was staring at some seasons of bingo squares I didnt know how to tick off when I had a brainwave and thought of the perfect premise for a joshy hong birthday fic to post...so here we are

Change of heart, who can say? - and I really didn't think I'd have anything to post for tae yet taehao took over my brain again... actually fun fact I only watched the winter ahead mv once in full and yet it has still laid roots in my mind


And I guess looking ahead to 2025.... 
  • I've already signed up to a few fests, and.. I have my eyes on a few more.....
  • I am trying hard to let some 17hols prompts stew their way to fruition in my brain (unfortunately no promises for how well I do at this) 
  • I made a pledge for Get Your Words Out so I will try meet it - but even if I don't replicate this crazy output next year I'll still be happy if I don't need to drop out of anything I signed up to next year!
  • I still have the wips that I mentioned in my first post so... I will try give them some attention... 
  • I would really like to try write a longer fic with more of a plot, and maybe play around with some more rarepairs/other fandoms!
I wrote the first version of this and then didn't save it but I think that covered the majority of it 🤔 here's to a great 2025~!

It's the last weekend of June so I feel like I should start being a little retrospective in regards to what I've managed to write so far, as I've been trying to actually make journalling a propoer habit and it seems appropriate to attempt that here too right (and maybe along the way figure out how to properly use Dreamwidth). I'm sitting at 6 Ao3 works with a total of 16k words, which is extremely modest but already far more than I would have thought myself capable of earlier in the year... (and there'll be a minimum of four more being posted before the year is up!).

I don't think I have that much to reflect on but I'll do this mainly for future me to look back at later.

bowls on the lawn
It's not part of the May-June flurry per say but... there's the little Secret Santa 2023 fill that I seriously struggled to scrape together back in December which started this whole thing, and I think as a result of that it really laid the groundwork of... knocking down that barrier of fic writing in my brain?

hotter than dawn bingo
I'm honestly not too sure where the flurry of writing inspiration came from for these... but it is absolutely all thanks to my April-May Korea trip, wherein I made the extremely smart decision of lugging around my laptop bag as an additional piece of baggage. But as a result I did spend several hours while on the plane braindumping some pretty decent first drafts (along with a few afternoons), which was how I was able to post that first Dazed piece while I was in the airport on my way back home...

The brainworms were wild and I still have maybe two sentences lying around for a chapter 2 follow-up to the solboo nesting fic (need to put some more thought into the content and... rating change.... that might happen) (I hope I actually get around to it before the end of the year)

tea with hao
This fic was another one that was basically complete during the Korea trip thanks to several rewatches of the Suchwita ft. Seventeen episodes combined with some choice In The Soop segments, but I sat on it for an extra week or two to see if there was anything more I could add (in the end there really wasn't much gained from that, BUT! the snippets of extra ideas that I couldn't find a way to work in might actually be repurposed in a vague 5+1 structure, one day)

tangled up
I think in its current one chapter form it barely even qualifies as a taehao fic just because my sole goal was to write out a certain visual in my brain and I finally unhooked it a little . . I need to decide on my new visual for chapter two (which will additionally actually have the characters exist a little more) because I swear I had a great video saved that suddenly vanished the next day I tried to open it...

vague current wip status )

I feel like I've committed to seeing these through now so hopefully that means I write a lot more before the year is up !!
