How I Lost My Shit: Life? Work and personal events basically happened all at once. My motivation and free time simply flew out the window.
How I Finished My Shit I’m about to embark on a huge move back to my home country and I wanted to finish this story before I left. It took a lot of early mornings downing coffee at my local café and some wonderfully quiet Saturdays at the library.

Bragging Rights: I had so much fun with this one! This was the first of the wallpapers I had done without characters because I found this gorgeous picture of an island in the ocean, which went well with the fic. The banner was definitely my favorite part of this, though, as there was a lot of mirroring and playing with dark and light and I just really enjoyed making it.

How I Lost My Shit: I couldn’t quite figure out how I wanted to have such a diverse group of people all in the same fic.
How I Finished My Shit: I decided to do multiple POVs and just smash various duos, trios and groups together that made me think “Hey, this would be interesting!” Real Life got in the way several times so I ended up writing the last six chapters in two chapter spurts over a week, but it’s finally done and I love how it turned out.

How I Lost My Shit: Okay. So despite the fact pretty much every fic I have submitted to WIPBB in the last few years is Sherlock based, I have a love/hate relationship with the show (for example, I still haven’t seen series 4 yet). This fic is the result of one of my least favorite episodes being requested over and over for a rewrite, and me managing to get through the episode once over a span of two days and then noping out after chapter 1.
How I Finished My Shit: Six years and a couple of failed attempts later, I decided eff it, I was just going to ignore the stuff I didn’t like, change things around, MAKE FRANKLAND SURVIVE and just let the chips fall where they may. I think it’s faithful to the episode to a point, but I like my version a bit more. And before anyone asks, I hated the lab scenes so I cut out the trip to Baskerville for that reason, which was what had been stopping me from forward progress until last week. Also, the amazing art by twisted_slinky was a huge inspiration, so I am so grateful for that.
