I honestly didn't think I could do it -- I got the majority of my popslash added to AO3. It took me five hours to add The Book of Secrets alone. There a few stories I didn't add -- two because they were co-written with other people, one because it has Nick Carter, one because (in my head) it's the story that started me on the path of pulling away from that fandom. I'm also missing one series, which I will add someday, but I need to be in the right headspace to re-read it before posting.

Ignoring the stories I didn't add, I wrote 854,020+ words in popslash and 76+ stories. When that fandom was good to me, it was really really good. BoS alone clocked in at 143,732 words. Amazing. I had no idea.

HOLY CRAP. Did I love this movie. Terrifying as fuck. Great characters. The ending was just spectacular. The acting! The use of sound! And also so brutal omg. I'm actually a) hoping for a sequel and b) gonna keep an eye on AO3 for any fic that might pop up.

Got my assignment for

fandom5k. Okay, self, you can do this. My request went out for a pinch hit, because I couldn't be matched, but it's been claimed. Me and my tiny fandoms/OTPs.

I watched A Quiet Place earlier today too & man did I love it!

I mostly went because I like going to the movies, needed to get out of my house, and I love John Krasinski. Such a surprise! I think I had seen one trailer. And now there are, like, a million things I can't stop thinking about. When everyone lights the fires! The awesome daughter! The waterfall visit! Strong family bonds! The looks on their faces at the very end!

That was pretty much my reaction to my fandom5k assignment. In a pep talk sort of way. Because my first thought was, "I'm going to need so much help with this fic." Luckily though I'm pretty sure help will be easy to come by.

Now that you mention it I am pretty excited that I have a fandom other people have heard of, haha. (We can do this). Good luck with yours! Should be a fun challenge. I was having too good a time reading through everyone's requests.

Yeah, I'm like, shocked that I can think of at least three people off the top of my head I could ask to help with this thing, and that's people I'm relatively closely acquainted with. Even when I was writing a ton I never wrote in fandoms where I could get that kind of help - though I was also a lot more socially anxious about it.

I probably don't know your fandom (and I have no idea if you know mine; it's possible?) but if you ever wanna talk about your story while staying anon my email is battlesinthemorning@gmail.com. :) (No expectations, just like... offering.)

That's awesome! (You can't tell, but I kinda fist pumped for that, because I know what you mean!) Ahh, I'm so pumped for this challenge. (And thankfully, 5k for me is, like, a shorter story than I usually write).

Oh, wow, that is such a nice offer. Thank you! I may in fact take you up on it. And same to you -- I am at least somewhat familiar with most fandoms, and hey, not knowing the fandom has never stopped me from reading something. Hee. My email is atangeriner @ yahoo . com.
