--What was the first fic you posted this year?
It was the concluding chapters of my vampire story! I still have not found the time to post the story I finished last week... and checking for this week's question informs me that I've posted two stories this year. D: I'm not happy about that at all...
I am doing better with my non-fiction essays! Both of the wrestlers involved liked the tweet promoting the latest chapter of their history. And weirdly, I am... maybe... co-writing a story with one of them? Okayyyyy, it's hard to explain, I'm going to indulge myself here and try.
There's a story going on with my favorite wrestler where he's despaired of the world and he hates the fans now, refusing to listen to his theme song or feel any joy. I've been making gifs of his little character moments and arguing that we, the fans, should be singing his music more loudly to try and reach him. He has then acted in ways that almost feel like he's responding to my analysis? Kind of like we're having an argument ("Sing louder!"/"That isn't going to work, I'll just make fun of them for being gullible fools. Your move.") I'd say that's nuts but I have gotten, in the past, private messages from his best friend and co-worker saying he reads my stuff and admires it, so... maybe? IT'S REALLY WEIRD.
So maybe I shouldn't be so hard on myself for not having written much this year. Maybe I'm involved in some weird collaborative fic-writing with a character from my canon. Maybe I'm making myself into a character in this canon. It's kind of unnerving but exciting at the same time.
I hope your adventures in writing are as exciting but less unnerving!
