Should I make official playlists for DTSM?

Heavily considering making character playlists for DTSM, mainly so I can make one for DTSM!Tommy. I know you shouldn’t have a favourite child, but I have a favourite child, and it’s DTSM!Tommy. I terrorize him so much, he deserves a silly little playlist I think. Any thoughts from those who have read the chapters I have out so far?

DTSM has officially surpassed 100 hits!

Wow, I’m almost speechless honestly. When I posted the first chapter exactly a week ago, I didn’t expect anyone to read it. When I was still in middle school and early high school, I posted fics that got maybe 20 hits in a month if I was lucky, so to see this many people enjoying my writing now encourages me so deeply to keep writing. We’re 3 chapters in, but there’s still 19 to go! Thanks so much to everyone in this sub who has read DTSM, I never thought this many people would like my dumb little story. 🥹

What au should I do next once DTSM is fully pre-written?

All of these will likely get written eventually, I’m just trying to pick one to commit to working on next. This is not all of my aus btw, just the ones I have the most fleshed out atp. I’ll leave this open for a week to get as much feedback as possible!

(All of these aus unfortunately have happy endings just fyi, because my beta team literally BEGGED me to write happy endings. My bad endings make them depressed apparently. BUT they mostly still have a degree of angst!)

A VERY rough sketch of DTSM!Wilbur’s character design.

I am not an artists guys, I’m a writer, so please excuse how absolutely scuffed some parts of this are… 🙂‍↕️

For more character designs, updates, and eventual bonus content on Does The Snow Melt (If You Lay There Long Enough) and my other future projects, go follow my Tumblr! The link is on my profile, or you can search me up (it’s under the same name).

The chapter two of Does The Snow Melt (If You Lay There Long Enough) is up!

For those who already read chapter one, thank you so much! It means a lot and really encourages me every time I see the number of hits, kudos, and bookmarks go up! Chapters one and two are good, but chapter three is when it starts getting REALLY good, and that drops Monday so please stay tuned!

Trying to drum up attention for my new fic!

So I stopped writing years ago, but recently my friends encouraged meme to start again because I have so many original AUs that I talk about nonstop. I have ADHD so it’s hard for me to commit and keep things going without feedback, so if anyone is interested in dark fics and AUs, this one’s for you!

The fic is called Does The Snow Melt (If You Lay There Long Enough), and it’s an fbi/serial killer AU. It’s set in the real world, BUT it’s 100% based on the characters, not on the cc. Only the first chapter is out so far, but it’s going to receive updates every Monday and Friday, and I’ve got up to chapter 5 done and ready to upload thanks to my beta readers’ encouragement and enthusiasm. You can search the fic name, or you can just click the link to my ao3 page that I have on profile!

If I can’t promote my fic here, mods, please take it down lol. I’m new here. 🙏
