softlypaintedseafoamI swear the curse of the fandom creator is to constantly be plagued by ideas that you always be compelled to write because you have no self-restraint. Every time I say I'm going to focus on the WIPs I have before starting up in other, something always comes up. This time, I have two excuses reasons:
0) I want to write at least five fics in Japanese this year: so I might as well get as much as possible out the way. No this doesn't count as one. Let me be.
1) An upcoming birthday present for a friend: she's recently gotten into One Piece (close to finishing Alabasta) and one of her favorite ships is UsoNami. Her birthday isn't even a few days or a week away; it's at the end of May. But I want to get a head start on it to have it done by then. But since I'm making it a point to write more in Japanese this year, I'll be translating it into said language and posting it on Pixiv. That friend doesn't have a journal so I can talk about it a bit more freely here but in case anyone stumbling upon this wants to be surprised, the only detail I'll spare is that it takes place after Little Garden but before the arrival to Drum Island. That was such a tense time with Nami being sick and I had a clear vision for it!
2) I've been meaning to make more friends in the JP side of fandom and opportunity came in the form of a shipping event: thanks to a few JP artists I follow, I saw the Lusan Yuru Katsu Week (ルサンゆる活WEEK) account making an announcement for a few days in May that will be and then a reminder that June 3rd is LuSan day. I mentioned before I'm already working on a fic for these two and I'm planning to have that up by June 3rd. I think I'll post it on Pixiv on June 3rd JST and then the next day on AO3 in my time zone. But for the stuff going on in early May, I think I'll write something else probably on the shorter side. We'll see if I can manage it, but the fic going up on June 3rd is a no question from me.
The other fic I'll do for earlier in the event is up in the air so there's no title for it, but I have titles in mind for the other two that have titles in both English and Japanese. I tried to come up with titles that could work in both languages. I'm pretty excited for everything I'll be working on at least and hopefully keep things limited to just these 3 wips. Especially since the 3rd is so bare bones nothing, not even a vague concept. But I wanna challenge myself and have fun and hopefully make new friends in this part of the fandom.
Anyways, that's enough fandom talks for the day. I'm tired, I still need to do the night time routine for one of my parents I take care of and then I'm going to sleep. Working on fic can come later this time lol. Maybe I'll listen to the MsScribe story to sleep again like I've been doing the past couple nights once I'm ready to settle down for it
