☆ What has FTS written recently! ☆
(I try to keep this to the most recent 6ish months)
i. in the armored van - 2k - A little expansion of the van scene.
ii. on the veranda - 3k - After their escape from Merrick's, Nicky and Booker talk.
iii. in the bathroom - 2k - After Nicky talks to Booker on the veranda, he talks to Joe in the bathroom.
The Everyday Uses of Ordinary Objects - 4k - This feeling overcomes them all on occasion, when the full weight of eternity suddenly turns crushing. Man was not meant to witness the churn of time firsthand. Sometimes it becomes too much, too vast, too heavy. Sometimes Nicky needs to disappear, just for a little while.

Sticky: Hello, Hello!
Apr. 11th, 2017 12:43 pm
Hello and welcome! If you're just here for the fic, I'm glad you've stopped by. All my fic and writing-related posts will always be public.
However, if you add me and we've never talked, I'm going to assume you're just here for the fic and I probably won't friend you back. This journal is half-fandom and half-personal so I prefer to know at least a little bit about you before I invite you into my living room, so to speak. But I always love to make new friends, so please don't be shy about sending me a message or dropping me a comment here to introduce yourself! <3
So, that's that, then! Say hello, if you'd like. Otherwise, thanks for stopping by, and as always, I appreciate you reading my work <3
WIP Wednesday
Feb. 18th, 2026 01:22 pmNew words this week : 2,931 words which is somewhat less than I'd hoped for, but not entirely unexpected.
WIPs worked on this week : 2, with no new WIPs (yay!)
This week was... a lot. Visit went okay, they flew home Sunday night. This morning my mother-in-law called to let us know that my father-in-law just tested positive for Covid. So far so good here, but I'm pretty frustrated that I'm going to have this hanging over my head for the next week or so until I either get sick or I don't.
The Old Guard
☆ food truck au : 2,349 words which brings the total to 67,708 words and is there really any feeling more frustrating than having all the motivation to write, and be entirely lacking the time?? Next chapter needs like another 1.5k to be done, and that's like. I could knock that out in a day under ideal circumstances, and circumstances so far have been very very far from ideal. But anyhow, there is now KISSING and I'm hoping to get it off to beta by the end of this week. I did some very rough math, and if I can continue at mycurrent previous pace I will finish the final chapter by the end of March. The story takes place in the spring and I'm kind of caught up in the idea of posting it around that same time, so I hope I'm able to... I'd wanted to start posting mid-March, and I guess I could still do that even though I would definitely still have a few chapters left to write, but I really feel more comfortable waiting until I've got the whole thing done, even if "done" is just a first draft.
☆ werewolf au : 582 words which brings the total to 13,921 words and I was just reflecting earlier today that if I'd known how goddamn long food truck au was going to turn out to be, I would have started working on this one first. Ugh, I'm so desperate to write it, but I'm also really trying to avoid doing that thing where I start a dozen different things and don't actually finish any of them. My 300k of unfinished and unposted HP fic will absolutely haunt me until the end of time and I'm trying my best to not repeat that experience. SO. Mostly I'm just jotting down scene bits and plot ideas as they come to me so I don't lose them, and then using this as extra motivation to get me to finish the thing I am actually trying to finish.

WIP Wednesday
Feb. 11th, 2026 10:05 amNew words this week : 8,320 words which is so good, y'all, I'm so happy.
WIPs worked on this week : 1, with no new WIPs (yay!)
Still exhausted, still snow (though a bunch melted today as we got above freezing for the first time in weeks!) and more progress was made.
The Old Guard
☆ food truck au : 8,320 words which brings the total to 65,359 words and look at this! For the second week in a row I managed to keep my focus to one single WIP, I finished and sent off TWO chapters to my beta, and things are still rolling along! I'm now past the Confession of Feels and the chapter I'm working on finishing off now has kissing and I'm giddy over it. I took a little bit of a break today, poking at it a little and only making a few hundred words, but am hoping for a lot of words tomorrow. I will have houseguests arriving on Thursday and staying through Sunday, so I'm anticipating a much less productive writing week. Hoping to still be able to get the next chapter finished off, though. It's at 4200 words and I think it will end up around 7k, so that's entirely within reach if I can keep my focus on it and not wander off to later parts of the story.

Feb. 4th, 2026 01:56 pmI'm still exhausted, there is still snow on the ground, we're supposed to get more snow later this week, and I'm in denial that it's already February. However, there were words.
New words this week : 8,793 words which I am overjoyed about! We are SO back, baby!

☆ food truck au : 8793 words which brings the total to 57,039 words and look at that! I'm so SO thrilled that I actually managed to keep my focus on one thing and one thing only this week. And look at all that progress! Not only have a made a buttload of words, I also made some really significant progress plotting-wise. I've got all chapters mapped out now (there are going to be 15!) AND most excitingly, I have an ending written!! Chapter 5 is still in progress, but getting closer to finished and almost ready to send out for beta, and the two chapters after it are also almost complete so I'm hoping I'll be able to finish and send them off one right after another. Now that I have a total chapter count, I'm a little concerned I might be underestimating the final wordcount, though. By like, a lot.

January Wrap-Up / February Goals
Feb. 1st, 2026 02:40 pm2026 GOALS
2026 Total Wordcount Goal : 9,847 / 150,000
2026 Total Writing Days : 26 / 365
JANUARY
Off to a bit of a slow start, but I think we finished strong! Most impressive was that I managed to make words most days of the month (I had multiple days where my total wordcount was only 5 or 6 words, but I still took two minutes to open up my WIP and put them down!) I also made the decision to set aside my horrorguard fic for now. I was really dragging on it the first half of the month and I finally accepted that I think I need to spend some time muddling over it, since it grew into a much more complex idea than I originally intended for it to be.
January Wrap-Up : I finished the month with 9,847 words which is not too bad, all things considered. I was really trying to break 10k and am still a little disappointed that didn't happen. A total of 5 WIPs got words, with all words going into 5 Old Guard fics. I did not meet my goal of 12k.
FEBRUARY
I have high hopes for this month. I feel like I'm focused and ready to make words, the last week has been super productive despite my ongoing lack of free time, and I'm just ready. February is a shorter month, and my in-laws will be visiting for a long weekend, so that might cut into things somewhat, but I'm still feeling really optimistic.
February Wordcount Goal : 15k and I really feel good about it.
February Fics to Focus On
☆ food truck au : and ONLY food truck au, so help me god. It's currently at 52k, so if I keep my focus on it and I make my wordcount this month, then I'm going to be halfway through what I need to finish it off. Then if I can do that again in March, it'll be done and I'll be only slightly behind my ideal posting schedule for the year. I've actually already hit my daily wordcount for today, so I'm off to a promising start. Estimated wordcount, 75k.

WIP Wednesday
Jan. 21st, 2026 01:26 pmWordcount this week is way up from last week, which is nice--especially considering how little writing time I have these days. I get 30-40 minutes on my lunch break at least three days per week (sometimes four days, and very rarely five) and then a pretty dependable 20 minutes on Sundays, and that's basically it. Sometimes I throw down some story notes in the evenings, but by that point in the day I'm so completely exhausted that I can barely think, and definitely not up for any writing. Usually I'm able to get a little more wordage out of those blocks of time, but emotionally and mentally this past week was pretty rough so I'm very happy with what I've got.
New words this week : 2614 words which is great, all things considered!
WIPs worked on this week : 2, with no new WIPs (yay!)
The Old Guard
☆ food truck au : 2575 words which brings the total to 46,975 words and with the breakthrough I've had on the second half I feel like it's full steam ahead. Taking a two-ish month break from it was actually the right call, even if it was mostly unintentional. Having some time to simmer in the back of my brain helped me work through the plot of the second half and for the first time I feel like I've actually got a story that fits the wordcount this fucker has ballooned into. I think I'm comfortably over halfway through writing it, so that's exciting as well. Hoping I can wrap it up in another 25-30k.
☆ werewolf au : 39 words which brings the total to 12,702 words and I'm pretty excited for when I get to switch my focus to this one full time.

Jan. 14th, 2026 01:46 pmWhew, it's been a little while, hasn't it? This time of year always kicks my butt, and now I'm trying to get back into the regular routines, which includes regular WIP Wednesday posts to keep me organized and (somewhat?) accountable.
New words this week : 764 words which is what it is. All words are good words, I'm repeating to myself.

The Old Guard
☆ horrorguard : 764 words which brings the total to 7079 words and I'm officially putting this one on the backburner. I'm pretty disappointed to not make the deadline but the collection closes in February and there's no way I'm going to make it at the rate I'm going. Honestly, I think that this is one that will benefit from marinating for a while in the back of my brain.
In the meantime, I'm about halfway through a reread of stupid food truck au and I'm going to try to make some good progress there so I can get it posted this spring because I really really want to share it but can't start posting until the whole thing is finished.

Another New Year
Jan. 6th, 2026 01:48 pmA little late, but it's been pretty bonkers around here recently. We're all trying our best.
So, I started writing again this past year! Life has been really A Lot for quite a while, but I found my footing enough to start making some words and it's been pretty great. I set my goal for the year at 50k and more than got that. I also got 4 fics finished and posted, which feels pretty amazing.
( 2025 Wordcounts )
My goal for 2026 is basically to keep this energy going. You can see where I sort of wound down again after being remarkably consistent for a few months. I actually did some writing in December, but I didn't track any of it, so just counted it as zero and plan to start fresh. I've signed up for GYWO for their Modest wordcount pledge (150k) which feels doable, if I keep it up.
( Fic Goals for 2026 )
All in all, this is estimating about 230k of writing (or 150k without including the work left to do on necromancer!joe, which is why I don't anticipate getting to it this year) which means if I focus and am consistent, it should be doable. A challenge, but a manageable one. If I get this done, and I acknowledge that it's a big IF, my posting schedule would ideally be: horrorguard in February, food truck au chapters posting weekly through March-April-May, ghost!Joe posting in June, the next three installments of Redamancy in July-August, and then werewolf!Nicky chapters posting weekly in September-October-November.
So anyhow, we'll see what happens. I'm also resurrecting my old method of "write every single day, even if it's just half a sentence" and so far that's going well. Most days the past week just have a handful of words (the lowest was 6 lol) and that's totally fine, no pressure to keep going if I'm not feeling it that day, but a couple of times once I got the doc open and my hands on the keyboard, the words kept on coming.
So, that's that, and here we go!

November Wrap-Up / December Goals
Dec. 1st, 2025 01:29 pm2025 GOALS
2025 Total Wordcount Goal : 78,583 / 100,000
2025 Total Writing Days : 100 / 365
NOVEMBER
I was expecting October to be the rough month and then November was supposed to be an easy glide to the end of the year, and somehow. SOMEHOW. That was not the case. Mostly due to being sick four times in four weeks, most recently with influenza A. I have not had the flu since 2017 and it was every bit as miserable as I remembered it being. I feel like I am only just beginning to crawl out from the crushing exhaustion that comes along with it. Ugh. Get your flu shots, y'all.
November Wrap-Up : I finished the month with 9,835 words which is fantastic considering everything else that's been going on. A total of 7 WIPs got words, with all words going into 7 Old Guard fics. I did not meet my goal of 20k.
DECEMBER
My biggest goal is just to get back into a writing routine again. I was doing really good at being consistent, and then last month I pretty much fell apart. I would love to get something small finished and posted, but I think that I need to just focus on the longer ones this month instead of getting sidetracked.
December Wordcount Goal : 15k and I still feel like this is going to be a little bit of a stretch, considering all the usual holiday madness that comes along with the month of December. But let's see how it goes! This will leave me a little bit short of my updated wordcount goal for the year, but I already met my original goal of 50k, so I'm all right with it.
December Fics to Focus On
☆ food truck au : and I know I'm not going to finish it this month, but I'd like to get through the next chapter at least, ideally the next two chapters. The next one ramps up the pining, the one after that has the confession of feels and the actual getting together, and that one's already mostly-written so should go fast if I can get through the next one. There's one conversation in particular that's holding me up. Estimated wordcount, 70k.
☆ horrorguard : Aiming to get this on finished and posted in early January, which is comfortably ahead of when the collection closes in February. I've done some work on this one, wordcount got bumped up just a smidge, but thankfully I have the whole story sketched out by now and it didn't spiral. I've got bits and pieces written from beginning to end, and now it's just a matter of filling in the gaps. Estimated wordcount, 15k.

WIP Wednesday
Nov. 12th, 2025 10:10 amA more productive week wordcount-wise, even if it doesn't feel like it. Sick again with my second cold in three weeks and life continues to be relentless. I am so tired and am once again doing that thing where I can't focus so I end up throwing words at a bunch of different things and make real progress on none of them.
New words this week : 4051 words and I'm honestly a little surprised that it's this high.
WIPs worked on this week : 5, with no new WIPs (yay!)
The Old Guard
☆ food truck au : 624 words which brings the total to 40,222 words and still trying to make progress on it so I don't lose all my momentum. I've done a little reorganizing of the chapters and I think I might be able to save some wordcount. Still dismayed about how long this one's turning out to be.
☆ horrorguard : 1570 words which brings the total to 3771 words and I'm having a hard time getting traction on it, even though this is the thing I should be focusing on. I have some good scenes down, though, I just need to get the wheel spinning.
☆ enemies with benefits au : 421 words which brings the total to 1145 words and I think I have a beginning on it which is exciting, just put down some scene notes. This one's going to be so fun when I finally get around to it!
☆ early days pwp : 850 words which brings the total to 1622 words and have closed this one and sent it back to the WIP folder, I thought it would be quick to write and it is not. I'll pick it up again maybe after horrorguard is finished because I do still think it will be short and it'll be nice to have something to post.
☆ werewolf au : 564 words which brings the total to 11,658 words and this is where my heart is right now. Desperately want to write on this one, but alas. I'm really trying not to do that thing I do where I start a zillion different long fics and then don't end up finishing any of them. So, horroguard, then food truck au, and then this one will be the ones to focus on.

☆ enemies with benefits au : 421 words which brings the total to 1145 words and I think I have a beginning on it which is exciting, just put down some scene notes. This one's going to be so fun when I finally get around to it!
☆ early days pwp : 850 words which brings the total to 1622 words and have closed this one and sent it back to the WIP folder, I thought it would be quick to write and it is not. I'll pick it up again maybe after horrorguard is finished because I do still think it will be short and it'll be nice to have something to post.
☆ werewolf au : 564 words which brings the total to 11,658 words and this is where my heart is right now. Desperately want to write on this one, but alas. I'm really trying not to do that thing I do where I start a zillion different long fics and then don't end up finishing any of them. So, horroguard, then food truck au, and then this one will be the ones to focus on.

October Wrap-Up / November Goals
Nov. 2nd, 2025 03:06 pmA day late, but close enough. I am exhausted, what the fuck.
2025 GOALS
2021 Total Wordcount Goal : 68,748 / 50,000 and I am now bumping my goal to 100k
2021 Total Writing Days : 85 / 365
OCTOBER
I feel like it's been October forever, oh my god. This fucking month.
October Wrap-Up : I finished the month with 20,423 words which is fantastic considering everything else that's been going on. A total of 7 WIPs & 1 new work got words, with all words going into 8 Old Guard fics. I more than met my goal of 15k (yay!)
NOVEMBER
My biggest goal is to get my submission for horrorguard started, if not finished, and to make more progress on my stupid runaway fic, which did not get finished last month.
November Wordcount Goal : 20k and I feel good about that since I've been pretty consistently at 20k over the last couple of months.
November Fics to Focus On
☆ food truck au : because holy shit I need it out of my fucking life right now. I don't even know what I'm doing with it anymore since the idea still doesn't feel like a novel-length idea to me and yet here we are. Estimated wordcount, 70k.
☆ horrorguard : The collection is open until mid-February but I'd like to get it finished and submitted earlier than that. This is an idea that I think should stay short, thank god. Estimated wordcount, 12k.

WIP Wednesday
Oct. 29th, 2025 10:25 pmSneaking this in really quickly because, as predicted, not much free time currently. Still, some words happened!
New words this week : 3043 words which is down from a bit but still pretty fucking miraculous, all things considered.
WIPs worked on this week : 3, with no new WIPs (yay!)
The Old Guard
☆ food truck au : 1343 words which brings the total to 39,598 words and jesus christ I don't think it's going to be under 50k, I'm still losing my shit about it because the idea doesn't feel nearly big enough to warrant this many words and yet here we are?? I don't even know. Anyhow. Chapter 4 went to and came back from beta, Chapter 5 is not that far along because I keep adding words to the later chapters instead.
☆ enemies with benefits au : 225 words which brings the total to 715 words and it was just a part of a scene that got shuffled over here when I cut it from the food truck au.
☆ horrorguard : 1475 words which brings the total to 2195 words and I think I'm rapidly approaching the point where I need to start adding words seriously to this one if I want to hit the deadline on it.

WIP Wednesday
Oct. 22nd, 2025 10:05 pmWhat a fucking week. Doctor visits, houseguests, they unexpectedly tore up my ENTIRE fucking street so coming and going from my house has been a nightmare, the fucking raccoon that's been terrorizing my back yard has learned to open the locking trash can lid so this morning i went out to garbage scattered all over the place. I am exhausted. By the back door we keep a small table with a basket on top where all the warm hand-knitted outdoor winter weather things live during the cold season, and the sofa is right next to it. Tonight my mother-in-law knocked an entire glass of chocolate milk off the arm of the sofa and directly into the basket. I am livid. I could cry. I can't even be properly mad at her because it was an accident and she feels bad enough about it already. Soaked everything in cold water and tomorrow I get to see if the stains come out because it's late and I'm so tired and I should do it tonight but I just cannot handle it. Basically just killing time right now until my phone charges and then heading straight to bed.
New words this week : 4167 words which is pretty fucking miraculous, all things considered.
WIPs worked on this week : 3, with no new WIPs (yay!)
The Old Guard
☆ food truck au : 3911 words which brings the total to 38,125 words and pretty excited that my focus is staying on this one. Chapter four is nearly finished, and a lot of words went towards the ending, which I'm getting more of a feel for? Still struggling a bit with what's going on in the later parts of it, but I'm trying not to worry overly much until I actually get there. The bits I have so far, I like, so that's good.
☆ werewolf au : 133 words which brings the total to 10,931 words and it's just a bit of scene notes/dialogue snippets.
☆ horrorguard : 123 words which brings the total to 720 words and I think I've figured out an ending, which is important.

WIP Wednesday
Oct. 14th, 2025 10:30 pmThis week has been a little easier, so that's a nice break between the nonsense. I have some medical stuff to take care of this week which I am very anxious about, Mr FTS has some pretty intense work stuff coming up, and then my brother and MIL will be visiting one after the other. So I honestly don't know how writing time is going to go for the rest of the month. There are at least a few days where I should have a little more time than I usually get, since I'll have a few evenings to myself, but overall I'm anticipating having less. Definitely not going to get anything finished and posted this month, alas. Even if I could potentially rush to finish something small, my focus has actually been pretty tightly centered on food truck au so I'm loath to derail that while I'm making such good progress on it.
New words this week : 6712 words which is right on target, AGAIN. Every week when I see my total land right around 6-7k I am filled with joy. I still can't believe how consistent I'm managing to be!!
WIPs worked on this week : 3, with no new WIPs (yay!)
The Old Guard
☆ food truck au : 5789 words which brings the total to 34,214 words and I've had to accept a couple of different truths about this one. A) I am absolutely definitely going to blow past my last estimate of 35k, and probably also my newer estimate of 40k. At this point I'm still hopeful about keeping it under 50k but at this rate who the fuck knows. This is due in large part to, B) it's going to be way way smuttier than I anticipated. Third chapter is off to beta and it cranked the UST way up, so that's going to take some words to resolve later in the fic. Anyhow, fourth chapter is coming together quicker than I anticipated so that's nice.
☆ werewolf au : 326 words which brings the total to 10,841 words and it was just throwing down some notes about a little scene fragment so I wouldn't forget it. I've officially back-burnered this one, yay. We'll see if that holds next week.
☆ horrorguard : 597 words which brings the total to 597 words and I'm excited about it. I signed up for a very low-key horror fest and my card was tremendously inspiring. I have SO many ideas but have narrowed it down to two. Thinking it over some more and just throwing down notes to figure out which one I want to do. Both ideas are short-ish (though one is moreso than the other) and I have until mid-February to submit, so plenty of time.

WIP Wednesday
Oct. 8th, 2025 01:22 pmIt's been kind of a fucking week. Car issues continue, I've been just sick enough to be annoyed by it but not sick enough to justify any kind of rest, and I've had about zero downtime. I did get the Halloween stuff out and decorated, and my daily mental health walk for my stupid mental health now comes with crunchy leaves, so that's nice. Trying to focus on the positives here.
New words this week : 6494 words which is right back on target and I remain delighted that my wordcount has stayed so consistent overall. Unfortunately it was one of those weeks where I couldn't find my focus and ended up throwing words at a bunch of different stuff with no significant progress made on any of them.
WIPs worked on this week : 6, with no new WIPs (yay!)
The Old Guard
☆ food truck au : 3239 words which brings the total to 28,425 words and I'm still chipping away at the third chapter. Chapter two came back from beta which was helpful as always, so I don't know why this one is being so stubborn. I'm trying really hard to get it finished by this weekend, so we'll see. I'm also pretty sure the finished wordcount is going to be closer to 40k and I'm having something of a crisis over it. This was supposed to be a stupid silly 5k oneshot, and instead it's practically a novel but I'm still not sure that the idea/plot really justifies a novel? I don't know. I guess we'll find out together if it flops when I finally post it.
☆ werewolf au : 1872 words which brings the total to 10,599 words and we're into five digits!! I am still obsessed with this one.
☆ ordinary objects : 531 words which brings the total to 4316 words and I'm just keeping the cockwarming thing and its sequels in the same doc for convenience so it's all getting counted together even though the first part is done and posted. It's going to be a trilogy now, but all the parts should be short. So, probably around 15-20k total for the three of them. Still hoping to get the second part finished and posted by the end of the month.
☆ old kingdom au : 463 words which brings the total to 15,689 words and I'm still pretty obsessed with this one as well, even though it's a little farther down the writing queue. Currently poking at some ideas for the sequel, because of course it's going to have a sequel.
☆ canon divergent identity porn au : 262 words which brings the total to 4262 words and I'd only opened the doc in the first place to jot down a potential title for it, and then read over it and added some more words. It's basically if Joe and Nicky had parted ways post-Crusades and then ended up meeting each other later without realizing who they really were. It's going to be a lot of fun when I finally get around to it.
☆ ghost!joe au : 127 words which brings the total to 12,197 words and the same thing happened with this one, opened it up to jot down a potential title and ended up throwing some words at it. I'm thinking of trying to wrap this one up maybe while working on the werewolf one? It's about half done and because it's a retelling of the first movie the plot doesn't really have much space to spiral so I think I can get it done in about 20-25k.

September Wrap-Up / October Goals
Oct. 1st, 2025 01:30 pm2025 GOALS
2021 Total Wordcount Goal : 48,325 / 50,000
2021 Total Writing Days : 58 / 365
SEPTEMBER
Where on earth did this fucking month even go? I swear it was just August, and yet here we are.
September Wrap-Up : I finished the month with 20,874 words which is awesome. A total of 3 WIPs & 1 new work got words, with all words going into 4 Old Guard fics. One fic was finished and posted! I more than met my goal of 15k (yay!)
OCTOBER
My biggest goal is to get this silly runaway fic finished and posted, just carrying that one over from last month and hopefully it happens. Then dig in and get a good start on the werewolf thing, which I'm like 80% sure will be my next long fic to focus on.
October Wordcount Goal : 15k and I'm tempted to make it a little higher, but am resisting. The last week of October will once again feature houseguests and I never get much writing time done with extra people around.
October Fics to Focus On
☆ food truck au : because it's so close to done already, and this time I mean it, really I do. It's currently at 25k and I know where it's going, I just have to write it out. It did turn out to have some smut, so I'm bumping the wordcount accordingly. Estimated wordcount, 35k.
☆ werewolf!Nicky au : I've been obsessing over this one and think it's a good one to dig into this month with the Halloween vibes all around. Hopefully should make some good progress on it once I give it my full attention. It's currently at 9k, I'm honestly afraid of how long this one might run. Estimated wordcount, 40k (maybe??)
☆ ordinary objects part 2 : I'd like to try to keep up getting at least one thing posted per month, this one should hopefully be an easy-ish goal to meet? It's pretty much a short smutty thing, and those do tend to stay short for me. Estimated wordcount, 5k.

Oct. 1st, 2025 01:24 pmWell, it has been a fucking week and my wordcount reflects that and wow it's been a bunch of monkey's paw nonsense. Like, I might be buying a new car! (Because my car might cost more in repairs than it's worth.) I finally got the motivation to wash all my sofa cushion covers! (Because they were barfed all over.) etc etc.

☆ werewolf au : 442 words which brings the total to 8935 words and I really can't wait to be able to dig into this one properly.

☆ food truck au : 1300 words which brings the total to 23,171 words and it's still trucking along. Took a brief break from it to write cockwarming (what can I say, the heart wants what it wants) but I'm going to get back to it. I'm so very close to the end. All of it's partially written so it's just a matter of filling in the gaps.

Sep. 17th, 2025 12:53 pmFinally--FINALLY!!--back to our usual routine and it's been glorious. Life stuff does unfortunately continue. My car died again so I'll need to for sure deal with that before Mr FTS goes on a work trip soon, and I did have a cold last week, and then I got my Covid shot this week which always knocks me on my butt for a couple of days afterward. But there's been words! Actually, quite a lot of words!!

First chapter is completed and off to beta, though, so I'm really hoping that some feedback will help.
☆ werewolf au : 2150 words which brings the total to 7969 words and all of them were smut.

Sep. 10th, 2025 01:03 pmInto week #4 of disruptions and horror of horrors, I woke up today with an irritated and gunky throat. Pray with me it's not covid because the last time Mr FTS went into the office (he's work from home like 95% of the time) he brought home covid and because life is unfair he always has a day or two of mild cold symptoms and bounces right back and I spend a week feeling like I got hit by a bus. I have so much stuff to do this weekend I can't afford to be sick right now.
New words this week : 5237 words which is a little behind where I wanted to be but yesterday's wordcount was 82 so accounting for that I'm still being pretty consistent on the days I do get words done.
WIPs worked on this week : 3, with no new WIPs (yay!)
The Old Guard
☆ food truck au : 624 words which brings the total to 16,383 words and idk why my stupid brain has switched away from this one it's So! Damn! Close! To! Done!! I've got it all down it's just a matter of filling in the missing bits and it's silly and it's fun and I'm having fun writing it and yet here we are.
☆ werewolf au : 3719 words which brings the total to 5589 words and I guess we can see what my brain's latched onto recently. I've got more of a plot worked out but it's going to be like 80% pining and smut. I am okay with this.
☆ Old Kingdom au : 894 words which brings the total to 15,235 words and this one continues to benefit from having some brainstorming time on walks and while doing dishes etc.
