Eight New Stories on AO3, More on Tumblr
After completing the story made of the microchapters that May prompts on Tumblr inspired, I felt I needed to go on. So as to have some joy, I needed the daily writing challenges, small accomplishments, and the little bit of response to fic it turned out to be possible even for me to get on that platform. This is how I've ended up giving another try to the Wolfstar fandom.
in 2019, I wrote a lot about the Marauders, and towards the end of that year I was happy to find some active Remus/Sirius fans again - first at a couple of fests which posted both on DW and on AO3. But it seemed to me they knew each other from somewhere else, and perhaps that was one of the reasons why my fic usually ended up standing out, almost ignored.
I tried Tumblr for the first time - and unsuccessfully, not figuring out that I was supposed to do reblogging - only when I'd started branching out: writing femslash and rare pairs, different generations (not next-gen kids, though). I felt there couldn't be a place for a writer like me in the Wolfstar community out there, and when writing about Remus and/or Sirius, I often intentionally chose to write odd stories (far away from canon settings and still just canon-divergent, not non-magic AU or popular tropes).
At the beginning of June I came across wolfstarmicrofic. And now for three weeks I've tried my best to stay content with the small number of likes and reblogs I get when I only slowly gain one or two more followers and my fics can't possibly get much attention. Besides, I still stick to my own style and perhaps unusual scenarios.
I've posted something on the basis of twenty prompts (just not on today's yet), a couple of times using two prompts in one fic. All these fics are with the wolfstarmicrofic hash tag on my Tumblr, here. Because ten of the fics are based on scenes in my earlier fics, I've posted only eight on AO3.
These four stories are set before Sirius went to Azkaban and have been added to my series The Four Shapeshifters.
