Wow Kat, what's that sound? Well, glad you asked. It's the sound of me SMASHING through my 75k getyourwordsout goal! BOOM! We're currently >78k and there's still a day to go.

*smug*

Much of the words came from a) co-writing done with dreamersdare and b) because I churned over 24k for Spooktober fics/ficlets, even if some of that churning happened after Christmas lol. Posting most of them back-to-back was a really interesting experience actually and I have some reflections.

( (under the cut, it's all very self indulgent) )


I was always going to do a Spooktober Masterlist for my own amusement. I know I'm about to list all of these for the 2023 Fic Round Up soon (well... Sometime in Jan?) anyway but there everything will be by fandom so let me just induldge my love of lists *pets the list* so, here, Spooktober Fics in posting order (links will take you to AO3 but if you prefer DW for reading, everything is under the spooktober 2023 tag.

( List under a cut due to length! )

I have signed up getyourwordsout again because I love their spreadsheets. I've gone for the 150k optimistically even though I've never achieved that. It's good to have goals or something?

Finally, I wanted to flail about being podficced!!

The lovely pezzax_podfics podficced under his wing (TXT, Choi Soobin/Choi Yeonjun) and turned a tiny ficlet into a full-blown audio drama with music and sound effects and it is so, so extremely cool I absolutely lost mine when listening. Also, please appreciate the cover art! (akdkjsj wings!)

The most awesome pieces0fstars podficced Volcano (Stray Kids, Han Jisung/Lee Minho) and holy shit the emotional impact the recording packs... Look, I obviously had a lot of emotions about the concepts which I wrote immediately after the song dropped. But the thing is, I wrote the fic so I knew what was in the fucker and yet, YET, I was absolutely choked up, clutching my heart, because the performance got that exact frayed, desperate edge I tried to convey in words and... Yeah, please listen.

Summary:Author notes: Listen, I wrote majority of this in the immediate post-movie sapphic haze about three years ago in the middle of a lockdown. Then I picked it up and finished it like... last week. It is what it is; an ending they all deserved. Title obviously from Stand By Me by Ben E. King. Not betaed so if you do pick a glaring typo or a grammar boo-boo, feel free to tell me in the comments.

After the Stray Kids edition of this meme, here are the rest. Current mode is apparently 'writing everything at once' which means that whilst a lot of things are progressing they're not doing so very quickly.

I'm thinking of doing 'post something every day' for April to get back into the swing of things. But anyway, first this

WIP Meme: The Misc Fandoms Edition

MCR, Frank/Mikey With Kinky Benefits, ah yes one of the four shamefully late fandomtrumpshate fics that covid derailed and that I've been trying to get back on track ever since. Currently at 3.7k, involves the boys as roommates and Mikey having a thing for wearing pretty panties and Frank having an unexpected thing for Mikey doing just that.

MCR, Gerard/Mikey/Frank/Ray BDSM!AU Nonsense, the second of the owed FTH fics, sitting at 5.5k. The snippet below is Gerard/Mikey in case that's a think you want to avoid.

( Snippet )

***

Grimm, Nick/Monroe Pretend Couple Fluff, third in the series of my failures, this is at~ 6k and involves ticking off a ton of 'undercover as a couple tropes' as we progress. Like this one, a classic for a reason.

( Snippet )

***

Guardian, Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan Curse Fic, yep, yep, fourth and final in the series of Kat Pull Your Fucking Finger Out. This is only at 1.7k

( Snippet )

***

Hustlers (the 2019 film, which I would recommend) Destiny/Ramona post-canon fic. God, I wrote most of this in the immediate aftermath of seeing the movie like, ugh three years ago, and then have been picking up it intermittently since. It's sitting at 4.2k and I can almost see the finish line.

( Snippet )

***

Expanse BDSM!AU Alex/Amos, written entirely for personal reasons... This stands at 3k

( Snippet )

***

Buzzfeed Unsolved/Watcher Entertainment RPF, Shane/Ryan Camping Nonsense, 2k

( Snippet )

There are some other ficbits floating around but they are all super short
