Amazing August

[dracoqueen22]

 A day late but not so much a dollar short. XD

July was so much better than June and way better than how 2017 started, despite us being understaffed at work and having to work overtime a couple of weeks. The extra pay was nice. There's been some IRL chaos going on as a distraction, but for the most part, I've felt very... manageable in July. Here's hoping that continues into August! 

So what's on the docket? 

I'm still playing it by ear, not trying to limit myself to any project in particular. I'm wanting to enjoy writing more again before I start sitting down and making myself focus on things. I'm occasionally visiting Tumblr to check out my dashboard, unfollowing people if I find their posts upset me for whatever reason. I don't know about interacting yet. I miss talking to my readers and followers. But I don't miss how just anyone can jump into a conversation and take it the wrong way. 

Writing-wise, August is for Harpies! At least, that's where I'm focusing right now. I've got tons of Blurr/Star to edit through and prep for posting. Not to mention I've still got a little over half the fic to write. I'm working on the MegaRod part right now and it's some goooood stuff. Or at least I hope so!

Here and there, in between the Harpies, I'm working on Drift's story in that series, and a oneshot with Sunstreaker/Sideswipe/Megatron. I'm also spending time on that InsectiQueenSunny fic, too. Got a lot of balls in the air, so to speak. Haha. But we'll see what I manage to finish up, yeah? 

Anyway. Anxiety and Depression being managed means life is a heck of a lot more bearable and I don't think I'll ever get over what it feels like to actually feel again. Wowza. 

Hopefully September is equally up the challenge!

"But I don't miss how just anyone can jump into a conversation and take it the wrong way."

Oh god this! Tumblr has been irritating me and stressing me out lately and I've been reminiscent on how I'd really like to just go back to flailing in a closed circle.

I think you just described part of my feelings I couldn't put my finger on.

I'm glad to hear you can feel again out of the void. I'm so behind on keeping tabs on anyone else worlds but my own right now, but I need to take some time to catch up on your latest projects.

And InsectiQueenSunny fic!?! Paint me intrigued when ever you feel the urge to tackle that one.

[dracoqueen22]

Yeah, that's why Tumblr is such a stress-inducer and why I had to walk away from it. I hated the feeling of walking on eggshells all the time. It's much, much better and happier to sort of stick to your own social circle for fandom talk.

I hear you on being involved in your own projects. I haven't read anything outside of my own projects except for other fandoms lately.

InsectiQueenSunny is definitely on the menu. I got a good thirteen pages already and at least a novella planned out. It's set in IDW and was originally gonna be set post-Dark Cybertron but in the wake of OP#9, I'm now setting it post OP#9 so I can have allllll the feels. Fair warning though, it is gonna have some pretty heavy Insecticon themed bestiality all throughout it.

I posted a snippet of it on Twitter: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1spsdfj

YOU JUST WANT TO HAVE ME SCALING WALLS DON'T YOU!!! *gets my feels tokens ready for packaging*

Thanks for the heads up for your warning. *Balloon still shuffles closer and perches in the wings of your inspiration*

Sunstreaker carefully looked around him, swallowing his terror. The dark shapes started to coalesce. The walls shuffled and hissed and clicked and whirred. Biolights pulsed. Optics flickered.

The visuals in this scene!!!! Setting the stage and atmosphere right away, I love it! It's so ominous.

Sunstreaker blinked. “Bob doesn’t talk.”

A raspy laugh burbled out of the Insecticon’s intake. “Not in words you understand. Not yet. But you will. Soon.”


I cackled. Sunstreaker is so floored by his revelation. My mind instantly goes to him wondering about everything and all the conversations he might have done or had in front of Bob, depending on how much Bob understands.

AND THEN I REMEMBER IT'S ALL HAPPENING AFTER OP#9 AND MY HEART SCREECHES.

*passes some feels tokens onto your collection plate for your hoard.*

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked the snippet and that you're excited about the fic. That gives me great encouragement to keep going. :)

Yay, Harpies! That 'verse is so sexy, swear to god, especially between Megatron and Rodimus.
That little snippet of insectqueen Sunny is *delightful*. That's gonna be a fun right, I can just tell :)

Glad you're feeling better and wishing you luck with everything!
