Ash here. I just saw the last update to my bio/profile was in 2012- yikes. So, a few quick things. I now have two young children, J and L, and am working primarily on original fiction when I have time. That being said, I have been getting back to my fanfic roots, in part as a way to keep motivated and in good habits with writing. Sometimes it works, sometimes not so much. At any rate, I have a personal essay that was published here in Hip Mama magazine, and am always down to connect via my tumblr. When I do write ff, it tends to get put up at AO3 first, leaving this a bit neglected. I'm trying to get a bit better about that, though we'll see how the double posting goes. AO3 does also have cleaner versions of the stories I've moved there, such as Vibrato and In An Instant. On that note, my penname there is, of course, the same as here and basically anywhere else relevant. STORY RELATED PSAs: Vitality/Signs of Life series The series itself is currently a set of three fics (two one shots and the in-progress multi-chapter) set in the 13 Reasons Why universe and centering on the evolution of Alex and Zach's relationship, as well as the balancing acts of mental wellness, grief, and trauma being performed by themselves and their friends concurrently. Chronologically speaking, the order of fics is Where You've Been, followed by Vital, then by Vitality. In terms of publication, I chose to start with the beginning of romance in Vital, then go back to look at a moment of shared history with Where You've Been, before picking back up with the romantic development in Vitality. Currently going through a bit of a personal crisis at the moment, so writing has slowed down some. I am still hard at work right now, with five chapters done and published and the sixth about a third of the way through. I will be participating in the AO3 Zalex week 2018, so will be publishing those oneshots here as well, and hope it will help me get back on track.Mannish Boys This is currently on hiatus, due to some struggles between my perfectionism and anxiety about anachronisms. I am hopeful I will be able to get back to it when I complete Vitality, but unfortunately do not have a timeline for this as of yet.In An Instant This is currently in the process of being rewritten and turned into an original work (considering it was already about 90% there anyway lol), so it is unlikely to be continued properly in its current incarnation. I have written more for the ship/characters than what is up, and that material can be primarily found on the original Jarson tumbr, as well as potentially by request via my aforementioned personal tumblr. |
