2024 PROJECTS!

currently, i'm just writing fanfiction. i may put my critic hat back on the future, but for now, i'm working on transformative works that connect/are inspired by other pieces of media (shows/movies/books).
i am also trying to write intentionally as this acts as...hopefully, practice/inspo for original writing. so, you'll hopefully see the reoccuring theme of romcom stories that focus on coming of age themes!i love critique/reviews of my work, no matter if you hated it or loved it. please leave comments!
