the end of mfae?

Hey all, it's been a while, so I thought i'd update you on some stuff going on in terms of the fanfic 'Mourning Flowers at Erinnyes'. 

I posted an a/n yesterday to let people know that i kinda ran into a roadblock, and i'll elaborate this by saying that my plans needed to change and I didn't like the direction I was taking the fanfic in. I'm not sure if i'll delete it to make a new one, or just reformat it, but since the plot has changed by quite a substantial amount, i'll probably resort to deleting it and making a fresh fanfic.

That being said, I do have a lot going on in my life right now, and this is why my updates are slow asf. I finished my GCSEs (basically, exams that decide whether you go into higher education or not in Britain) in June and by that time i had severe writer's block and did not want to write at all, then when I did post, it was that chiluc fanfic that temporarily cured it for like 3 days. I started planning fontaine fanfics around mid august but by then results day had come around and I prioritised school over writing for some time. The ao3 writer's luck didn't stop there, as I took 4 a-level subjects instead of 3 because it was compulsory for lower sixth/year 12 (i'm a junior in american terms). I write during the long commute back home every day, despite the fact that i don't post for weeks, even months at a time because i end up scrapping entire scenes and whatnot.

Mourning flowers at Erinnyes (mfae) was a gift for a writer who inspired me, and I can't let this gift become some half-assed fanfic that I haven't put any effort into. That's why as of the next time I post on ao3, It will be either a revamped version of mfae or a brand new fanfic alltogether. 

Once again, i would like to thank you all for waiting so long for me to come to my senses and start writing properly lol

ttyl,

aella

p.s-  i forgot to add this but a-levels decide whether you get into uni/college so no biggie :)

Hello, and welcome to the scriptylog!

I'm Aella, and this is my writers' blog!

Ever since I began writing like 5 years ago, i've slept on this idea until recently, when my fanfics started gaining traction. If you're wondering how i got here, here's a timeline:

• 2019-20: Hamilton fandom (yes, i was that kind of theatre kid, but looking back on it i would've never started writing if it wasn't for the small community of writers that hyped my horrible writing up on Wattpad. I remember only completing one book on there and the plot was so bad that i ended up unpublishing it when I left the fandom)
• 2020-2021: Danganronpa (this fandom was a social experiment at points, depending on who you ran into.) This was also around the time I found out about the Godsend that is ao3 and wrote my first fanfic, 'walking on a dream' . It wasn't my best piece of work, but since it has been the only work i've worked on without having a substantial amount of time off, i'll give it a pass for now. Other works i wrote during this time were part of a series i tried to launch (and failed to commit to, due to mock exams and other issues within my life, which proves the existence of the ao3 writer curse for me lol) 
• 2022-22: Cookie run fandom. I don't know what possessed me to write about cookies, but the dynamic these two cookies had was something. 'their plastic hearts' was a concept that was good, but the timing wasn't right, as the two chapters it currently has were products of procrastination between the same aforementioned mock exams and writers' block.
• 2022-now (2023): As of November 2023, all of my works on ao3 within this year have been for the Genshin Impact fandom, which I swore to myself i wouldn't write but did anyways. It started off as a gift for a good friend of mine ( 'denial is a river in egypt, your son is gay') but ended up in about 6 other fanfics written, the most recent, as of now, being 'mourning flowers at erinnyes', which is a gift to a writer who wrote a really good work for the ship pairing. 
• Other fandoms I wish to try and write for include Reverse:1999 as i really love angst and maybe Honkai Star Rail when i get the chance to actually play it (genshin has taken up so much of my phone storage i can't run it without my phone exploding)

In conclusion, i've written about 18 fanfics (most of them unfinished) over the course of 5 years, so here's my somewhat deserved blog to rant about it.

I'll talk more about myself later, but i have like 2 maths tests tomorrow so ima just leave it here :)
