✒️ Writers' thread ✒️

It's been a while since I've posted here so here I am again!

✒️ Who are you?
I'm Jukes! 17-year-old fool, she/he prns. I'm an American (unfortunately) and a senior in high school!

✒️ How long have you been writing?
Ohhh I'm not really sure, probably for as long as I can remember. That is to say, I've written stories in my head since I was pretty young but never started to fully take on actual writing projects until November 2018 with my first NaNoWriMo.

✒️ Your preferred languages in writing?
Exclusively English, although I could probably write in French if I wanted to. (Perks of taking a required world language class)

✒️ What kind of things do you write / enjoy writing?
Not too sure! I will say that a couple weeks ago I started writing a fanfiction for a podcast formatted in an audio transcript format, and that comes very comfortably to me (since describing actions is like my least favorite part of creative writing...)

✒️ Favourite genres for your own stories?
My main story is in the "magical realism" genre, so basically our modern world but with some supernatural/magical aspects. I also enjoy the horror genre and have dipped my toes just barely into writing for it.

✒️ Any current writing projects?
My aforementioned TMA fic is ongoing! I have quite a few ideas for it and I'm happy with how it's been coming along. Otherwise, in terms of OC projects I mostly have one-shots on my plate right now. I have multiple novel-length OC projects, but they're all on hold for now.

EDIT: My last post on this thread is at the end of page 20 and I was so overdramatic while writing it lmaooo

✒️ Who are you? 

Hello, everyone! My name is Kristen. I’m 24 and currently in grad school to get my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I also work at a campus cafe part-time.

✒️ How long have you been writing? 

I’ve been writing since I was 14, so around 10 years give or take.

✒️ Your preferred languages in writing? 

I only know English, sadly.

✒️ What kind of things do you write / enjoy writing? 

Usually family conflicts are fun to write! I also like it when characters learn to live with their mental illnesses. 

✒️ Favourite genres for your own stories? 

Post-apocalyptic, hands down!

✒️ Any current writing projects? 

Yep! I’m current working on a New Adult post-apocalyptic trilogy. The first book, The Island, is on its fourth draft and I’m working on incorporating beta reader notes! 

✒️ Who are you?

-I go by Auralina, or Aura, or Lina. My pronouns are she/her. I'm more of a visual artist than a writer, with an interest on blending those skills and starting to draw comics, but have never actually drawn comics due to the amount of time, motivation, and knowledge of how to do panelling that they take. However I've been thinking of writing lately.
✒️ How long have you been writing?

-My first serious writing piece might have been written around 1-2 years ago, but I write very rarely and sporadically, so I don't have a lot of practice or a large backlog on non-RP writing.
✒️ Your preferred languages in writing?

-My native language is spanish, however I'm more used to writing stories and RPing in english. I've experimented with translating one of my stories to spanish and trying to make it so it sounds good in both languages not long ago, though.
✒️ What kind of things do you write / enjoy writing?

-I often like to just grab a base concept that I feel I can spin a story about, and go on about that. I write a lot of one-shots because of this, focusing on maybe the dynamic between 2 characters, or an aspect of a character's story or personality, or a possible scene that would add to it, or other things like that.
✒️ Favourite genres for your own stories?

-I enjoy horror, though I need to write on it more. I also like surrealistic/magical but not stereotypically fantasy worlds, like Alice in Wonderland or Coraline.
✒️ Any current writing projects?

-Many of them! I currently really want to write up something about my FNAF OC Melody, since he's in my head, but I haven't yet managed to settle down on what to write about. I also have a few ideas for Mari, and a big desire to write about him since I somehow have never written any stories about his canon AU, but there's a deal with motivation and not knowing how it'll progress. These are ideas for short stories, of course.

After that, I have 2 fully original stories I'm working on, named The Toymaker's Dolls (placeholder name, but the characters from it are uploaded here on TH) and Redwood (not on TH). The Toymaker's Dolls is centered on a pair of robotic dolls who ran away from their creator and are trying to settle down and live like people. Redwood is primarily centered around 3 serial killers, whose actions and story develop over the course of decades, then one of them dies and her younger sister, shocked and confused by the news of her death and her being a murderer, sets out to find answers.

✒️ Who are you?

I'm Lee! I'm just about 20, and I like to write self-indulgent little stories about characters that keep my ADHD at bay lol.

✒️ How long have you been writing?

I think I first started writing stories when I was 5 or 6 years old!

✒️ Your preferred languages in writing?

I can only fluently write in English, but German is so much fun.

✒️ What kind of things do you write / enjoy writing?

Self-indulgent drabble, angst, gushy slow burns, and lots of tense action. Mysteries, too!

✒️ Favourite genres for your own stories?

Crime and slice of life.

✒️ Any current writing projects?

Yes! I'm currently working on my story Serendipity, a shameless Hotline Miami-inspired story about two very damaged people who were side characters in a much larger story that I found myself really enjoying exploring more in depth. Ironically, it's more complete than the actual main story now.
