March Madness

Hey everyone,

I was thinking about announcing this last week, and then I didn't do that because anxiety is hitting me hard lately. But I wanted to come up with my own version of this fun little fandom tradition and make it into a writing spree.

So below you're going to click on what you want to read most, and the stories that are in a similar % bracket will go head-to-head in polls that I'll post over the next few days to determine what I'll post first. They will be randomly timed with shorter durations.

I'll also be posting my regularly planned updates, so don't despair if you aren't seeing your fave on this list (and feel free to ask me about them. I'm leaving off BOE, SG, The Alpha Next Door, One Wild Night, the "So this is... St. Patrick's Day" update, and maybe a few others. The response to them is obvious based on comments and likes. Most of them were or are in the line up for March anyway, and some of the things on these polls might appear whether they're selected to be first or not).

There will be a lot of recognizable WIPs on this list, but also some other stuff (which kind of represents a fraction of things in my WIPs folder).  

Most of the things are Supercorp, but there's also Swan Queen, Wenclair, and Avatrice because occasionally my mind will just spit out several thousand words at 4 AM for no reason.

The purpose of this is to kind of build up some writing hype and push me through some stress by distracting my mind with a lot of writing. I hope it's an enjoyable experience for everyone. 💙

I chose WTLGU too! The language is different and the pacing is chef’s kiss! The story really gives that “fated” feel to Kara and Lena’s love! I’m sure I’ll love whatever wins, but I’m glad it was just me that chose it!

What the Lightning Gave Us. 👀 I know I say this a lot, but I really need to finish up that update. I can put Alpha/Omega on there too (same problem with the symbol) even though it's a top tier patron fic. I love that one as well. Thank you - I appreciate the vampire-slaying and kindness. Sending the good vibes right back to you. 💙💙

These things always feel like picking my favorite child 😂 I went with “What the Lightning” because we left off in such a !! Moment but I’m putting a note here too for AO (my phone doesn’t do Greek apparently Ope). The world building in that story just makes me giddy. Hang on there with the anxiety. It’s such a little vampire but we’re all here with the stakes and sun to help! Sending lots and lots of good vibes your way friend!

I'm already feeling pretty excited about it and hopefully some good things come out of it. Thank you for the kind words! It seems like Hot or Knot is a pretty popular one. Sometimes I can't believe I got to this place of so many WIPs (or that I've written so many one-shots like Hot or Knot that I want to extend). It's super hard when I'm writing a new story every month that I want to turn into a multi-chapter. But in a good way, even if I really want to finish stuff to make room for more new things. Thank you!! Looking forward to writing them.

Hopefully it will be fun and I'm looking forward to seeing the first round of results. I feel way worse when there's a day that I don't write something. So in a weird way stress sometimes fuels me to write more. 😂

Aww, cool, I'm so happy you like the idea. I didn't know if it would be fun or tedious to vote for multiple things. Thank you. ☺️

Thank you. It'll hopefully go away or reduce to a normal level once a few stressful things are past. Writing is always enjoyable. You take care too! 💙

Thank you, I appreciate the kind words! I slept for about six hours and now I'm ready to write.

Writing is a big help when I can't sleep. Thank you. 💙

please take care of yourself, author-san! your health and well-being is priority. i'm excited about this march madness style so hopefully it helps drum up some excitement for you in a different way. there are many good ones in this but the one i keep coming back to is hot or knot so i voted for that. i'd been curious about a continuation of that (tho i honestly have wanted continuations for so many of your fics if only to be indulged further by all them!) so i can't wait to see how the bracketing goes. thanks as always for your hard work and looking forward to more of your stories!

betty

What a fun idea! But if you need a break, that's totally fine too! This is only fun for us as long as it's fun for you :)

This is an absolutely brilliant idea and so much fun! I can’t wait to see how the bracket turns out!

That’s exactly how I feel about You and Me Make Three too, it’s one of my all time favorites and Rara is the absolute best!

So sorry to hear anxiety is being a little bastard. Wish we could charge that little hanger-on rent sometimes. Hang in there and hope writing is a good distraction for you. Take care of you. :)

It's just such a happy fluffy story with very little angst. It's definitely my go to for a bad day. Cliffhangers are fine, if I can read the next chapter right away lol. But patience isn't one of my strong suits! And the story is so cheerful I wouldn't want anything bad to happen. Rara is like my favorite OC ever, and I read a lot of stories!

i hope you get better soon, you are a talented person , never forget that! thank you for all your work, and rest if you needed!

Yeah, it's a good one and I didn't mean for there to be a gap between updates. That's been bothering me.

Noted, no cliffhangers. 😂 I love a good cliffhanger though! Nothing makes me happier than knowing a story made you happy. That's amazing, and I'm glad you like how I write Rara. She's such a fun character. ☺️

So sorry about your anxiety, hope you feel better each day and that the writing helps, but if it doesn't don't worry, we'll wait

Loved sparks will fly so much, hope it gets updated soon!

You and me makes three is probably my favorite story of yours. It's so damn funny. I'd love an update, as long as you don't leave it at a cliffhanger!! I've read it a few times and it always makes me happy. It ended kinda well so far, but I can't say no to more of you writing Rara. She's my favorite.
