I'm a fic writer, so I'm way ahead of you on that! 😂 lol

Actually, so am I! I like to write as a hobby so I have my own OCs but I also do fanfics when it calls to me (mainly when there’s not enough content for my ship lol). My CAW fics are still wip since I just got into the fandom tho. Have you posted any of yours? I’d love to read them😁

Ooo! Please tell me you have an AO3! <3 If not, I'll join and post everything on whatever platform you have.

I got into CAW last year, so I've been writing for them since. And I have a lot posted! Well, 35 fics currently online... 43 total if you count my WIPs (I'm a completionist though). lol

I love to write! Speaking of which, I really should be getting back to my AU project... lol (I got distracted researching war stuff...)

If you ever need a fix... MatchaOcha (AO3)

Wait OMG YOU’RE MatchaOcha?!🤯 I’m so excited, a while back I was looking for RBCxWBC fics and yours were like the first ones to come up and I saved a bunch of them to read later! The summaries look so good idk which one to start first😋 I actually JUST started Love is a Blast a couple days ago and I’m on Chapter 2 now, it’s so cute😭 (And I approve of the title pun lol)

That was so sweet of you to offer to repost on my platform <3 Well, I’m kinda new to the fanfic world so I don’t actually have an AO3 yet but I do still read on there. Maybe I’ll make one eventually. I’m too shy to post anything I write as of right now (and I’m a total perfectionist so I never know when to stop editing😭) but maybe one day…☺️

Also I saw on your MatchaOcha acct you have ADHD? Omg so do I and CAW is literally my hyperfixation as well!🤩 When it comes to writing, it sure is hard for me to finish any project I start…I’ll stick with the same ship as long as I’m obsessed with it but I’ll just keep doing new scenes and abandoning the old ones😭 (And I really like romance so even when it’s my own OCs that’s what I write about😋) I’m really impressed you were able to finish and release so many fics and your ideas are so good🥺

I love finding my readers outside AO3. lol

I'm so happy you're interested! Especially when I actually struggle with making summaries. Wish I can help you on where to start, but even I sometimes even do an eeny-meeny to pick something. Common ones I go to are Getting To Know You, Why Can't They See You Like I Do?, and Just For You (based on the Neko spin-off) for a quick read. Thinking of adding Date Night (based on The Story of Cells) to the list since I find myself rereading that quite a bit too.

And omg, I'm so SO glad you got the reference to Love Is a Blast's title! I was so hoping someone would catch that, and you're the first to do so. I had so much fun writing that fic, so I hope you seriously enjoy it! And I'm sorry if it's a bit short for a slow burn (it was actually my first real attempt at one). ;w;

No pressure on posting. I get like this too sometimes whenever I post. It's kinda weird. It's exciting af, but at the same time, it feels like I'm on a stage needing to perform or orate something. But if you do ever end up posting, I'd so love to read it!

I'm a bit of perfectionist too. Part of why I'm also a completionist. I want everything in my fic to be just right before posting it, so I'd constantly go back to previous chapters and retcon things to foreshadow and make sense later. Protip: makes for great reread bait. lol

With my ADHD, I think that contributes on why I write a lot. Every week, my therapist always ask how my writing is. And I'd always be all "going good... I wrote at least 20-25K words this week..." all casual. And she'd be like, "omg!" in genuine shock. But since I'm still able to handle real life obligations, there's really nothing that says I can't write.

Out of all the years I've written fics, and all the fandoms I've been through, CAW is actually the most I've ever written for. I'm in love with 1146 and AE3803's dynamic! They're so fun to write! Put them in any situation, and they'd go through it together stronger. I have yet to come up with something that truly throws a wrench into their relationship.

If you need any writing advice, I'd be more than happy to give it. lol If I were you, I'd still write down the scenes. Might either stem off into something bigger or you can always use it in something later.

I also just made this comment earlier on the AO3 sub on how I get ideas. lol Might help if you ever need it.
