August was pretty good to me for ficwriting/edits, but I'll be slowing down for September for other obligations. This fic is still very much in progress (and has gained nearly 20k in the editing process), + I'm more than halfway through with the monstrous 170k pile of editing I'd put off (oops)

It’s about time we had a reckoning with the need so many writers feel to over-explain everything aspect of their stories, even in non Weird genres. Readers don’t need to be babied. Let us figure things out. Leave room for interpretation. Over-explanation makes writing worse.

I suppose I can post a link to this over here as well! I have no idea what to tag this, since I don't normally go here, but I have faith it'll go where it needs to go: Night Bloom - E - SVSSS - Shen Qingqiu/Luo Binghe - 4.5k - archiveofourown.org/works/90645221

Genuinely still so angry about a queer contributor to an ALA book list deciding to do the work of the oppressors by framing fictional romance featuring 'problematic' aspects as 'unethical'

This fic is definitely breaking 90k by the time revisions are done and it's standing behind me with a steel chair. I have to keep in mind something this long is new for me and it's okay if it isn't absolutely perfect; the learning process has been immense, sometimes painful, but extremely rewaring

I'm off work until next Tues so I've been getting some fic editing done. I thought I had something ready to post, but turns out I wrote the ending half awake & don't like it on reread, & don't have a better idea yet. On the plus side, I have plenty more almost-done work to tackle while it marinates

"Anthropic blames dystopian sci-fi for training AI models to act evil." Oh really? So the stuff you stole because you are a dystopian fucked up company has fucked up your dystopian fucked up company?

I'm off work next week and I badly need it for editing this fic. The last few months have been so busy, and as much as I enjoy the job security, my time around work has been packed as hell, too. I'm looking forward to a week of (mostly) uninterrupted writing and editing time

My tattoo artist just reposted this enthusiastically endorsing the messaging "what next should I have a computer that eats my dinner and fucks my wife?"
I have no idea what platform this is from. But it's from a tattoo artist saying AI art sucks. I'm not typing all this out, someone else can alt4me or whatever.

First chapter of this fic is the toughest to edit, mostly because it was written before I did the bulk of my research. Some of it is just thrown together, all misplaced exposition dump, no sense of pacing. I've learned a lot since starting, and while it needs some revision, I feel great about it

My move is complete so I'm resurfacing. I love the new place so much, even though we're still halfway living out of packed boxes and a bunch of minor stuff went way off plan. It's going to take a couple more weeks (& paychecks) to get fully set up, but I have a nice private space to write and work 😌

The year so far in writing has been plagued by interruptions (obligation and minor but tiring illnesses) but I ended this week on a high note

A little WIP snip from one of the several humanformers fics for ye on this Weds
A screen capture of a word document. The text reads:

Vortex slowly slides his hand across the seat and grips First Aid's knee, his head turned away. The windows are tinted and the street is dark, but First Aid's stomach still feels like it's in danger of tying itself into knots. He works his hand beneath Vortex's and holds on.

"Where to?" Vortex asks.

First Aid says, "End of the street. Take a left at the stop sign, then north on Sheridan."

Vortex pulls out into the street. It's a twenty minute drive and First Aid feels every second of it.

The snow picks up, blowing past like thousands of swirling stars and each streetlight casts deep, flickering shadows through the windshield. First Aid tilts his head back and closes his eyes, a burning feeling of anticipation lodged beneath his sternum. Vortex doesn't take his hand away the entire time, not even when their palms begin to sweat.

His thumb stroking over First Aid's wrist makes it feel like there's no air left to breathe in the entire universe.

Been very busy this month, but I've managed to get out a few thousand new words this weekend. I've got a ~10k fic ready to be edited; it's coming later in a series, so posting is still a bit off, but pieces are starting to fall into place.

Had to up my word count estimate from 70k to 74k (it will increase again, you may find me on the floor wallowing around about it) for my big WIP. If you'd asked me a year ago if I could've written something this size I would've laughed

This fic has nearly 70k words in the doc. It's nearly done in some semblance of the word, but it feels a lot like I dumped sand in a big cube and haven't made it recognizable as a castle yet

Still feel like I'm underwater, but I'm starting to write again. I'm in a tough spot w/ several of my fics; they're 90%+ done and need editing, but I'm so damn tired and busy. I love to edit, but it does feel significantly more like work than any other part of writing and my brain isn't here for it

It feels very weird to have just started and finished a fic in roughly ten days. I've had so many I've been juggling for months that I keep opening the file and trying to add something, but it's done, minus edits. My brain keeps doing the confused dog head tilt

Part of me misses writing for a big fandom for a popular ship, since at least even my most mediocre shit had people interested. What am I doing writing a story about identity and love for a ship that's treated as a huge joke by the fandom for a piece of media already not taken seriously?

Eremji @eremji.bsky.social · 20/01/2026
Accidentally started and completed a fic that uhhh technically needs at least a couple of the six other fics I'm working on posted ahead of it. Currently seeing how many levels of AU I can impose on an idea before it collapses into something unrecognizable and unreadable. It has not yet.

Fandom needs interaction to thrive, if u want to keep enjoying art, fic, edits, animations, silly little hcs, and all of that gud stuff, give some of the love back that creators pour out for you, fandom shouldn't be /content/ to mindlessly consume, let it be a dialogue of love and appreciation 🙏✨❤️

Last rough draft of the year finished, currently just shy of 7.5k. Three evenings to edit it is eminently doable, since this is one of the ones I liked the most right out the gate and my urge to fuck with it will be mitigated by it already being in a place I mostly like

5 days left in 2025 and I have one fic left to edit and post before the ball drops. Jan-March are going to be dry on posting since I've got to finish and edit approximately 100k words of fic for a longfic + the shorts it spawned and I'll be VERY busy IRL, but I'm out of the woods on so much stuff

Decided it was worth the extra cost for a 2 br apartment that's 15 minutes from work in bad traffic instead of 45-90, and in line with my partner's route instead of the opposite direction, so come March-ish I'll be cutting my daily commute from about 3 hours to 30 minutes. I might get some sleep
