Fic - soft skill

( link ) Why did I write this fic Firstly, OMG being into Haikyuu again in 2026 has been such a joy. The last time I was caught up was in 2017, and now, 9 years later, I finally have seen Haikyuu's absolutely wonderful conclusion and happy ending... and also... Bokuaka my old otp has so much new development which only made it better!?!?? I've shipped Bokuaka since around 2017, since this part from…

RKB 2026 fic - on the edge

the fic why The backstory for this fic is that a long time ago the tgcf kink prompt bot (in this house we love the kink prompt bots) posted "Mu Qing + Shaving Kink" and I was like wait, you CAN sexualise shaving, this is genius, and it fits him perfectly, and so I became obsessed. But I never found a way to use this concept. Then recently I saw the Mulian prompt in Rare Kink Buffet (...I was also…

Fic - North Wind ch1

I want to do a context blog post for just the first chapter of this fic because a. who knows when I'll write the rest (right now I'm partway through writing chapter 2) b. this is the chapter with 70% of the setup so I wanted to talk about where I got my ideas from. Last year I was sitting on a bus brainstorming a Cuocuo pov fic because I'm edgy and love rare POVs and I wrote this what IS the fxjl…

Recent fic recs 04-02-2026

Compiled from maybe the last 2-3 months. I know the format is a little strange, this is because I am archiving the low effort posts I make on Mastodon. I've corrected the capitalisation of fandom names and bolded them to help with skimming. Mirror on Dreamwidth I don't think you need knowledge of Heated Rivalry to appreciate this absolute monument to toxic twitter discourse and bad fandom…

recently 25-07-2025

This is my third draft of this post, I'm really clueless as to how I want to be blogging here. But anyway. I thought it would be nice to log some of the media I've been enjoying. Recently I have a soft spot for historical fiction . Some of my current read/watch in progress: My Memories of Old Beijing - Lin Haiyin: this is my Chinese reading practice, I can only get through it with DuShu. The…

A new version of goldgust.net

I decided to frankenstein my two former 'goldgust'-related sites together, one being (the OC information part of) my art site, the other being my blog. This is the result! I wanted a personal website to be the central hub for the goldgust identity. Both of the former sites were a bit over-specialised and not quite suited for that. This is meant to be a general one which can instead easily fit…

2025 MXTX remix fic

The customary post for the latest fic Also on DW Where did this fic come from The concept for this remix was so pleasingly basic to me. Switch Nan Feng for Fu Yao, then keep everything else the same, especially the backstory/setup of the fic. I've been wanting to write a fu yao fic for ages. I had also just watched dandadan so I wanted to write dick theft. I toned it down a lot from my original…

(untitled)

date: 2025-04-26T22:49:50+01:00 Experimenting with using Dreamwidth as my 'primary' fandom blog again and archiving here. At one point I was determined to combine this blog with my art website, but I don't draw digitally anymore so no need for that, which means DW's features are sufficient for everything. DW's data export feature is still terrible though which is why this is the archive.

fic writers 20 questions meme

Crosspost from DW Tagged by the various people who did this meme and said they tag everyone 1. How many works on AO3? 40 2. Total word count on AO3? 157k (approx 50k of which was written in 2024!) 3. Top five fics by kudos? Exclude all the enstars fics that I exiled to a pseud. I have been meaning to move them to another account entirely but I'm lazy guilt and duty and whatever (FMA) - 352 kudos,…

Fic - the last bite

Context post again for my latest fic I try not to use these posts to bash my own writing too much but I have to get off my chest that this one is not up to my standards and I would not have published it if I didn't think that publishing was also an important part of the learning experience of writing a chapter fic. It suffers from my classic problem of not having been started with a serious…
