Coalway to Hell

Yuletide Weather Forecast:
 
Temperatures are estimated to fluctuate between active panic and total apathy into the next weekend. Main assignments will have a minimum temperature of regret and a complete climate change once editing is complete. Expect treat writing to continue at all free hours unless the dangerous front of procrastination cropping up in the Northeast successful moves into the area, effectively killing the treat storm conditions for the season.

Treats you still want to write/finish

Vague about them here

Express your impatience here, both on your own gifts and in fandoms generally.

I am impatient for more fics in fandom I care about to appear in the fandom listing! What do you mean this would happen if I wrote them myself?! No write, only read.

One is a horrible first date, one is a road trip, one is five things about names, one is detectives investigating love and one is therapy via body horror. None of them should be more than 2k, so it's not impossible I will finish all of them by Christmas.

therapy via body horror

That sounds AMAZING, I hope you're able to finish (and tag it so I can find it).

One is about friendship and also demons, one is about reconciliation, and one is porn.

They should all get posted, and then I'll poke around the app.

* A weird worldbuilding thing I suspect only my recip will like, but it's been in my brain since I looked at their prompt and I started writing it last night, so what the hell

* Half-fluffy femslash with horror elements

* A body-horror thing I've been wanting to write for literal years, based on a reused prompt I've just never gotten around to fulfilling, but maybe this is the year??

Hope it's MY weird worldbuilding thing...

Pinch hitting commiserations and celebrations

(Anonymous) 2020-12-19 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Talk about the pinch hits you're working on

Re: Pinch hitting commiserations and celebrations

(Anonymous) 2020-12-19 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Hurt/comfort which is perhaps a bit too mundane/low-stakes for this canon, but I'm being self-indulgent. Hopefully my recip likes that kind of thing.

I'm still hopeful I will write either of the ideas I have started. One is a mythology fic, with slow burn, marriages and alliances, while the other is based on a comic and I have an idea involving patriotic leotards. Both would be pretty long, but perhaps one will get written.

I just crossed 1000 words, and it's not dire, and I can still edit in the canon-appropriate humour, right?

Re: Pinch hitting commiserations and celebrations

(Anonymous) 2020-12-20 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I like low-stakes hurt/comfort. I'm not your recip, but there is one vote in favour.

Re: Yüültyd

(Anonymous) 2020-12-20 12:14 am (UTC)(link)

7k words in and it's bus pass ready but not as great as I could do. Currently polishing it up.

Something you wish you could tell your recip? Say it here.

- cute f/f non-mundane AU
- f/f semi-hate sex
- canon het missing scenes

Re: Dear Recip

Dear Recip,

This fic is not great but you are not a great exchange participant so I'm not losing any sleep over it.

Ambivalent regards,
Your Writer

m/m friends-with-benefits-to-lovers fic. I've got the first sex scene ready to go as a pwp treat if i can't finish the rest of it, but i'd like to

Dear recip (we're DW mutuals):

I'm sorry I defaulted on you when I was really excited and life stuff happened to me. And I'm even more sorry your life is being extra shit right now.

Turns out the story I was working on would probably have hit a bunch of buttons for you in a bad way--I hope I can finish it someday, and I hope when I do it's able to give you good-catharsis.

P.S.: don't worry, it will have warnings up the wazoo and absolutely no pressure to read it at all until/unless you're ready and want to.

Both of those horror things sound amazing, nonnie. Good luck!
