Set Some Goals For The Coming Year - Snowflake Challenge #4

[logicgunn]

I have one goal for the coming year: finish a fic without it turning into a fluff-fest.

I started posting fanfiction in June 2019. I've shared 14 works so far, and most of them have one thing in common - they're adorable. I love writing fluffy fics, but the thing is, even when I intend to write something dark and gritty it just turns into a fluff fest. My biggest work, The Long Dark, is a fluffy post-apocalyptic fic, despite the dark tags. Who knew that was even possible? I certainly didn't, but when I tried to write a dark and depressing first chapter it kept edging lighter until I just gave up and just wrote it how it came out. I love it for what it is, but this year, hopefully this month, I'm going to finish a BAMF!John, Whumped!Rodney fic. I've started it and so far so good. Fingers crossed I can keep it gritty and stop it turning into candyfloss.

On a more personal level, last year I was pretty unwell and had to take some time off work. I had my first day back yesterday and it went okay, so this year I'm hoping to get my life back on track. Maybe also go on a holiday with my wife. We've never been abroad together, even though we've been together for over seventeen years. That would be awesome.

A fluffy post apocalypse sounds good to me... and yay for whumped!Rodney. I look forward to it

Rodney whump is my jam.

I have the opposite problem, lol. Just look at my 5 Times John saw Rodney naked fic for proof. Or the kid fic series that I decided to throw a 'The Shrine' tag in....

I'm so excited about a possible BAMF John, Whumped Rodney fic from you!"!!!!!

Hello there! It's a bit delayed, but I wanted to say that I hope your year goes well, that you are well, and that you and your wife get the chance to enjoy that trip.

When it comes to fic, I very much understand that. I've only once managed to have something that I planned to be dark stay that way. Then again, fluff is valuable, I think.

Anyhow - hi, from a fellow snowflake_challenge taker!

Hi back!

Thank you so much for your kind words. I appreciate them. :)

I've written the intros to TWO angsty fics, so hopefully one of them will work out the way I plan!

You're working on two at once? You have my respect!

[logicgunn]

I kept stalling on the first one so I jumped to the second for a while. I keep switching back and forth depending on my mood.

Good luck on both of them, then!
