24 Things of Advent - Batch 8
Dec. 25th, 2024 08:01 pmOops, I accidentally skipped number 19 in the last batch! 🤪 I'll include it here. I know how to count, I swear!
19. A thing that took you a long time to make
"Curious as a Cat" (FF8, Quistis/OMC). It was my first multi-chapter fic, my first fic to break 50k words, and my most ambitious fic project at the time. If I recall correctly, it took me several months to write, and then another few months to scrap the original ending and write one that I feels tied up the story a bit better.
(And that's of the things I've actually written. I do have original fic ideas bouncing around in my brain from over a decade ago, and I still don't trust myself to have the skill to pull them off!)
23. The fluffiest/cheesiest/cringiest thing you made
"Still the One" (Transistor, Red/Blue). What can I say? This pairing turns my brain to mush. ♥ ♥ ♥
24. A thing you made specifically for your own tastes
Most of what I write, to be honest. I will put my own personal tastes aside, to an extent, when writing for somebody else, but even then, I invest some joy and/or curiosity in the story. If I don't like what I'm writing, I stop writing it, because it definitely won't turn out well.
Buuut... for the sake of playing along with this prompt, I'll say "Curious as a Cat" again. This is pure headcanonery and absolute wish-fulfillment fic. I just wanted to see Quistis happy for once, and have her find that there is so much more to life than Garden. A total self-indulgent fic, I don't regret writing it, and fondly reread it every now and again. :)
