When Does Summer Break Begin On Your Side Of The World? 👀

like falling asleep

me, struggling to write: hmm, this part is a little difficult. maybe i should check my planning document, which i created as a helpful tool for my writing process!

the planning document:

Just asking and I hope it's not rude (if it is just ignore it) but do you have any idea of how your posting schedule will look like now (as in will the next chapter be out in 1-2 months or 8)? Are you doing better?

All the best<33

Hi! I'm doing alright now, not 100%, but I'm definitely not going to be gone for that long again. Ideally I would like my schedule to be something like an update every 10-14 days, though it's hard to really set that in motion with everything I have going on. Once everything settles down around me, I'll work on being more consistent with the updates!

Hi honey! (Can we call you honey lol) do you have a playlist for your pirate fic? I just binged in one go recently and I’m getting withdrawals already 😅 FANTASTIC work, btw

Hi! That’s so sweet, I don’t mind the nickname at all <3

Sadly, I don’t :( though I love the idea of having one!

But if the fic did have a playlist, this song would be included:

Feel free to send any suggestions!

!! Since Evanescence is on the cards now, I’m going to definitely recommend “Lithium” by her from forever and a half ago!!!! 😄 it’s so strange to me that Dazai as a PIRATE refuses to drink and so clearly looks down upon opium, so I’ve got a horrible sinking feeling that there’s a horrific substance abuse history in his past 💔 in some form or the other. Still can’t tell if it’s directly related to him, or has something to do with Oda… aahhh I’m so excited to find out!! 💜

Ah we'll just have to wait and see...but you're right to think there's a linkage there.

Behold the three paragraphs that took me forever to edit:

The editing history for this tiny section is honestly embarrassing…

Not to be creepy but can I ask what country/time zone you’re in? Just so I can know when “tonight” is so I can plan my day around reading the new chapter as soon as it drops 😂

I’m in Pacific Standard Time!!

HI!! You're so incredibly sweet!! Seeing this in my inbox made my day :')

Sending you all the best too and ty for being here <3!!

(YES I have a dog!! He's my angel and my companion in my writing endeavors (aka he curls up in my bed and watches me cycle through endless drafts for hours lol))

your writing is so good!!! every time i reread your fic im like damn this person is a god how did they do this

Omg?? Thank you!! I often wonder the same thing… though if you were to see me write it would just be 30% of the time spent staring blankly at my screen, 40% playing out the scene in my head and then immediately forgetting it, 20% filled with random writing bursts, and 10% spent pulling on my hair and wondering why in one hour I’ve only written three paragraphs…then deleting said paragraphs.

But I enjoy every second of it :)

Hey honeybumi!!

I hope the AO3 curse will fade away asap (jokes aside I really do wish you all the best and I'm manifesting that you will feel better)

Hopefully you had wonderful holidays!!

Happy new year too!! 🌠🎇

Can't wait for the new chapter, no matter when it comes out i WILL be there for it, just finished re-reading the fic for the 4th time. I love you for writing this<3

Thank you :)

Hi! I’m SO sorry I missed this but tysm!! This made me so happy :)

I’m also so, so sorry this hiatus is dragging out this long… but the wait is almost over!! The update is over 10k so I’m finding myself rewriting and editing things I wrote weeks ago (hence why the word count just keeps growing lol) and it feels like I’m stuck in a never ending cycle but it’s coming together bit by bit.
