When I Started: Waaaaaaaaaaaay back on November 15th, 2013 after saucefactory on tumblr made a post talking about how this would be a great idea.
How I Lost My Shit: While writing, I realized that this was way too big a project for me to take on at the time; I was still trying to figure out who I was as a writer and I spent most of my time comparing my writing to everyone else's. I psyched myself out of writing more barely two chapters in, and just let it sit as I worked on other things and only added bits and pieces whenever my other writing wasn't cooperating.
How I Finished My Shit: This Big Bang, actually. It made me dig through all my old stuff and see which one I wanted to dust off and finish. I gave By The Grace a few more words and was claimed by an awesome artist, which gave me another boost to get this done. Alobear's art, having my Beta memprime cheering me on and the WIP Big Bang people be gracious enough to give me a few extra days because I didn't have my shit together is the main reason this story is even seeing the light of day!

Story Title: "The Route From Just Me to Three"
Fandom: Teen Wolf
Link(s): (Link to fic) (Link to art)
Summary: After their run-in with Sebastien Valet left Stiles and Lydia with life threatening injuries, Stiles decides that enough isenough. He has to get out of Beacon Hills before it killes him. When he learns that he's been accepted to a university in new York City, and that Lydia will be attending Columbia, they both arrange to graduate high school a semester early thanks to sufficient credits.

 

Derek, who has kept in touch with both Stiles and Lydia since he high-tailed it (no pun intended) out of town, invites them to share his condo in Long Island with him, and they jump on the chance.

The only problem?

Stiles is desperately in love with Derek, and now...recent events have brought what he thought were long since dissolved feelings for Lydia to the surface. Confused and worried about hurting one of his closest friends, he suffers alone. Until one night of heavy drinking changes things.

What is he going to do?

Warnings Underage drinking, major injury description, and a dubcon scene involving two drunk characters
Characters: Derek Hale, Stiles Stilinski, Lydia Martin, Sheriff Stilinski, brief Scott McCall, brief Natalie Martin
Pairings: Stiles/Lydia, Stiles/Derek, Stiles/Lydia/Derek
When I Started: Back before the season finale of 5b. I saw the trailer and went 'Ding, ding, ding! Road trip triad fic!' Not sure why my brain went there. But it did. And I had three chapters written in like 4 days.
How I Lost My Shit: I made the mistake of actually watching the season finale and was so disgruntled with how bad it was, I almost scrapped 7k of fic because the finale was so disappointing.
How I Finished My ShitI thought we actually had to turn in the fics as proof they were completed whent he drafts were due. So I wrote the remaining 11k in two days, because that's the kind of procrastinator/panicky writer I am. Those were a rough two days let me tell you

Story Title: By The Code
Fandom: Teen Wolf

Link(s): AO3

Summary: When the high school brings in a new dress code, Derek is unimpressed. His reaction has nothing on the one of his student council co-chair, Lydia. He really should have expected that agreeing to help her with the objection to the code would backfire on him in the most spectacular of ways.
Warnings n/a
Characters: Derek Hale, Stiles Stilinski, Lydia Martin, Erica Reyes, Vernon Boyd, Talia Hale.
Pairings: Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski
When I Started: This was originally an entry for the Full Moon Ficlet challenge, back in March.
How I Lost My Shit: Even when I posted it to the FMF, I knew there was more I wanted to do with the story. But other projects happened and I had outfits chosen, but the words didn't come. So it went into the pile of "to be continued". It's not as "lost shit" as others I have, but still.
How I Finished My Shit I came across this comm... I don't know how, really. And it was the perfect opportunity to actually finish a thing. The thing is somehow 10k now, and finished, which I'm delighted about. Bonus motivation was when my fic got claimed by xandromedovna, because art!!!
