We have now closed pledging for GetYourWordsOut 2026. If you did not submit a completed 2026 GYWO Pledge Form or did not submit a registered Dreamwidth account or OpenID that can access Dreamwidth, you are not a member for 2026.

The GYWO moderators are thrilled to spend the next year writing with 823 writers.

Those who have come by too late, we appreciate your interest, and we hope that while you aren't able to join us officially, you'll make your own writing goals and achieve them. You’re welcome to subscribe to the community to keep a look out for 2027 news, or follow us on gywo.bsky.social or

gywo for prompts, writing advice, and resources. Pledging for 2027 will open in December 2026.

Have a great year!

Gonna try to make a tradition of re-promoting myself yearly in January!

Name(s): Azure or Bede. I answer to both, so use whichever floats your boat!
Age group: Either elder gen Z or zillennial, depending on what website you consult. Regardless, I'm an adult!
Country: USA
Subscription/Access Policy: My journal is public, and I don't make locked posts! I'm squicked out by Harry Potter (I'm trans; I hope you can understand!) and Hazbin Hotel, and I have pedophilia/incest/rape as triggers. So, if you post about these things, or they feature heavily on your journal in some way, I'm gonna have to ask you to not add me. No hard feelings!
Other Info: I'm autistic and otherwise disabled, so please be patient with me! I'm from the South of the USA, so I use petnames very casually ("honey, darling, dear," etc). You can also (or alternatively) add my account for my fanfic and fandom meta exclusively, fairyfic.

Main Fandoms: Pokemon, Cookie Run: Kingdom, Great God Grove, In Stars and Time, Kingdom Hearts
Other Fandoms: MILGRAM, Delicious in Dungeon, Splatoon, Undertale, Deltarune, Vocaloid/vocal synths, furry. I'm at least passively interested in most Nintendo franchises. Primarily in gaming fandom!
Fannish Interests: Drawing fanart, and writing fic and meta essays. I make webshrines dedicated to my fandoms. I love analyzing and writing about the queer-coding/queerness and mental health of characters. I'm a shameless wearer of favorite-character-goggles, and I'm a huge shipper. You can see more info about my fannish interests and activities here!
OTPs and Ships: A lot. At the moment, I'm mainly focusing on Sora/Riku (Kingdom Hearts), Shadow Milk Cookie/Pure Vanilla Cookie (Cookie Run), and Thespius/Click Clack (Great God Grove)!
Non-Fannish Interests: Disability, queerness, the indie web, alterhumanity, rabbits, internet culture, and archival

Current Mood: chipper
Current Location: Into the Light - Splatoon OST

It appears that, once again, I got good solstice energy and spent the period between December 15 and January 15 writing the first 20k words of a novel.

The last time I did this was in Dec 2022 - Jan 2023, and I haven't looked at that project since then. I'm feeling the same sense of "I'm done" with my current project, The Archives of Hyrule, and I need to be careful not to let it fizzle out.

My problem is twofold. First, I'm not in love with the contemporary urban setting. And second, I'm feeling like I really need positive feedback right now. The first problem is easy enough to fix by setting the action inside and underground. As for the second, perhaps it might make sense to post the story on AO3 as a series of three or four "seasons." Maybe I'll let the already-written chapters rest for a bit while working on a few illustrations, and then I'll go ahead and post them later in the year.

Also, it might be nice to take a break from the Zelda nerds and get real about the "Bowser's Massive Cock Challenge" story I've been threatening to write for months now. I recently read a tidy bunch of Chuck Tingle stories (about the ongoing homosexual adventures of a billionaire T-Rex), and I feel like not everything has to be so serious. Sometimes it's okay just to be pounded in the butt by the physical manifestation of doing what you want and having a good time.

It’s been my experience that an extended period of online harassment comes my way every four years. The wheel has turned since 2022, and here we are again. I was thinking that I might preempt the harassment this year by openly posting the sort of discourse that will make me a target.

( Read more... )

I’m not saying that I want to be harassed, or that I think it’s fun to argue with chucklefucks on the internet. Obviously not. Still, if I’m going catch heat anyway, I might as well have the satisfaction of starting the fire myself.

it's close enough to the middle of january, anyway.

let's have a look at how i'm coming along with those goals i posted about at the start of the year.

websites: i'm down to the last 3 pages i need to write for this site, so we're making solid progress. haven't had time in the last few days to work on it, but i'm hoping to knock out at least 2 of the remaining pages this week.
writing: uh, i haven't even looked at the endwalker fic. tbh i have little motivation for it right now, but maybe that'll turn around...? i have been writing every day though, just not fic.
video games: i'm about 15 hours into pokémon scarlet, give or take; i have 4/8 badges, 3/5 titans, and 3/5 team star bases done. decent progress, in other words. i've been trying to play an hour or two a night; i've missed some nights but i'm making tangible forward motion and that's what matters. trails in the sky the 3rd is looking more like a february game at this rate, though.

overall, not bad. still some work to do, but it could be a lot worse tbh.

other things:

i'm currently reading slow gods by claire north and while it's quite well written, it's by no means a quick read, so i've been plodding through it. i haven't been sleeping great, but i've been trying to read a little every night... i really could have read more last night considering it took me two hours to fall asleep, but at least i made some progress.
not currently raiding in ffxiv on account of the hand stuff and i'm bummed about it, because the new savage fights look really fun. i've been having good hand days and bad hand days, and the unpredictability of the latter means that raiding is pretty much out right now. still been doing the weekend extreme farm, but that's it. in the meantime i've been powerleveling one of my alts for the sake of glamour, as one does...

that's about it for the moment.

Joyride : A buddy road movie focused on Chinese-American women taking a personal journey across China, testing the boundaries of their relationships and coming back stronger. We were looking for a lightweight way to pass an evening, and I'd say this fit the bill, although a little raunchy for my taste (explicit drug use, over-the-top sex). Top-notch cast, particularly Sabrina Wu as the awkward and too-relatable Deadeye.

The Knives Out films: This was a rewatch -- I've seen Knives Out and Glass Onion several times, and I insisted we watch Wake Up Dead Man the day it was released on Netflix -- and I'm happy to say that the series holds up, both as individual movies and overall. I think Knives Out is still my favorite, although a Chris Evans fangirl would say that, but I appreciate them all for their different strengths. Before the rewatch, I would have put Wake Up Dead Man a clear notch below the other two, but now I'm not so sure -- Father Jud is easily the best protagonist in the series, and I appreciate the depiction of a priest who represents the best aspects of Christianity drawn in contrast to some of its very worst. I also found the mystery quite satisfying, maybe even the best of the lot. The major downside was the supporting cast, which was fine (I will never argue with yet another showstopper from Glenn Close), but they didn't quite have the chemistry or interest of the ensembles in the other two films.

Current Mood: okay
Current Music: Eluvium - "Repose in Blue"

Not much to report this week. I’m a fan of Toronto, but the weather has been miserable. In retrospect, maybe I should have brought my sunlamp with me. That’s normal, right? In any case, I managed to do a successful academic conference, but I’m woefully behind on everything else.

Name: Lia

Age group: Late twenties

Country: Born in Brazil, currently living in Germany

Subscription/Access policy: I don't have any locked entries and don't plan on having them. Feel free to subscribe! I'll subscribe back :)

About me: I was born and raised in central Brazil and am currently an exchange student in Germany. My major is Linguistics and Literature. I'm still not sure what career I'd like to pursue - for now, I'd describe me as an aspiring writer and researcher. I'm bisexual and in a long-term relationship. Since 2020, I've been in treatment for bipolar disorder. My current interests include fandom, creative writing, reading (especially Nachkriegsliteratur and Brazilian literature), linguistic variation, traveling, and hiking. I'm a bit awkward, but love to talk and exchange thoughts and interests!

Fannish interests: The usual stuff - reading fanfiction, shipping, fanart etc

Fandoms: I'm currently more involved with bandom (mainly FOB and P!ATD), but still have a lot of love for fandoms I used to be active in, such as Sherlock BBC, Doctor Who, Foo Fighters, Nirvana, and Homestuck. I'm also a Little Monster, a big fan of Fleabag, and into vertical dramas :D (has anyone here watched Pool Boy? Haha)

Ships: Ryan Ross/Brendon Urie, Sherlock Holmes/John Watson, Dave Strider/John Egbert, Dirk Strider/John Egbert, Fleabag/Priest, Doctor/Rose Tyler, Jack Harkness/Ianto Jones, Dave Grohl/Taylor Hawkins, many ships from vertical dramas etc

What I like to post about: I've been mostly venting and talking about my day, but I'd like to post about fannish stuff, other interests of mine, and original works (mostly poems)

Before adding me, you should know: I'm mostly okay with RPF and vent a lot. DNI if your ships involve incest or anything illegal (you know what I mean), or if you don't respect the fact that I don’t like to meddle in other people's drama.
