Amaranthine Saga

So!

…

I haven’t been this nervous since the first time I clicked “Publish” on fanfiction.net. Seriously. I know this story is a good’un. I’m positively giddy to get it into your hands. It’s a very ME kind of adventure in all the best ways. But at the same time, I’m having all those silly qualms that come with starting something new.

(In the immortal words of Kagomaru) Erm…

…

So!

Let’s you and me just pretend I’m all Brave and Brazen (and completely professional) so we can get down to business. Because I’ve created a world for you. It’s shiny and new, and it’s specially suited to my fandom friends. If you like my fics, you’ll probably enjoy this new series. In fact, if you’re passingly familiar with (or obsessively voracious about) my fanfiction … you are going to have So Much Fun guessing and second-guessing where forthy is headed next.

NaNoWriMo 2017

NaNo-2017-Winner-Twitter-Header

Tada! I just validated my final word count for this year’s writing extravaganza. While I didn’t quite make it to the double-goal, I did manage 97,000~ words for the month, blocking in two books in my upcoming original series. I’m pleased with progress. ::twinkle::

Congrats to everyone who wrote words!

NaNoWriMo – Make Mine a Double!

Although I’ve been adding a running commentary in the comments of my NaNo sticky post, here’s a mini-update for those who have better things to do than stalk my every fleeting thought. Yesterday, I hit 50,000+ words with the third book in my upcoming original series. ::cue tickertape parade:: But #NaNoWriMo only comes once a year, so to take advantage of all the excitement and accountability offered to WriMos on the site, I’m Not Stopping. Today, I’ll plunge straight on into Book 4, with a new goal set at 100,000 words!

I love November.

EDIT: As of 11/15, I’ve “won” NaNoWriMo, having hit 50,000+ words with the third book in my upcoming series. With half a month to go, I’m plunging straight into the fourth book. Why not double up? New goal: 100,000 words!

Fangirl Confession

Never have I ever. I know certain storylines backward and forward (including both canon details and fanon interpretations). For instance, I own the InuYasha anime and still have whole files of screencaps from my days as banner-maker for several IY contest communities. I’ve watched the series in both dubs and subs. And I kept up with the scanlations back when we were nearing the manga’s completion. But I have never actually Continue reading →

NaNoWriMo 2017

NaNo-2017-Participant-Facebook-Cover

Anyone else doing NaNoWriMo this year? I’m officially logged in as … well, as me. Want to buddy up? I’ll be blitzing through the third book in the original series I keep mentioning. (Because the first is nearly ready for release, and the second has already been roughed in.) I make a decent cheerleader, and I’m always up for some word sprints! ::twinkle::

What to do, what to do…

By my estimation, we’re roughly a month away from wrapping up Clumsy. As promised, weekly Savvy updates will begin shortly thereafter … however, those will take place over on FanFiction.net. Which will leave this blog rather lonely. So I’m picking through my story pile, trying to decide on something new that will post exclusively to ForthWrites.com. (Gotta lure you back somehow, right?)

I’ll do as I please. (I always do.) But I’m open to suggestions, since you’re my intended audience. What do you think, m’dears? Another Sess/Kag? Another ship? Another fandom entirely?
