When I have a fic idea, I’ll usually scribble it down in the back of my diary. It’s time to switch diaries again, so I’m going to carry on the tradition I started last year!

This post lists all the fic ideas at the back of my 2022-23 diary. If I’ve written the fic, I’ll include a link to it. If I’ve started the fic, I’ll share a snippet. If I haven’t started it, I’ll write at least a hundred words on the spot.

First of all, here are the fics I’ve written in full. Fandoms: The Book of Mormon, Life Is Strange, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Do Revenge, Person of Interest, Lost, The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope. There may be spoilers for these canons below the cut.

Next, let’s look at the works in progress (or at least the works that were started; I’m not sure they’re actively progressing). Fandoms: The X-Files, Silent Hill, Hypnospace Outlaw, Final Fantasy VIII, Lost, Animorphs. There may be spoilers for these canons below the cut.

Finally, it’s time for the fic ideas I haven’t touched and now have to write something for. I’m a little intimidated by this category, but let’s see how it goes.

Fandoms: The Book of Mormon, The X-Files, Beacon Pines, Person of Interest, Community, Lost, Scrubs, Silent Hill. There may be spoilers for these canons below the cut.


2022-23 fics I hadn't started... until now. )


I’m glad I started doing this! Most of these will probably never become full fics, but it’s good to at least make a start on these concepts, rather than letting them languish eternally in my old diaries.

I played Beacon Pines! I doubt I'll get fannishly into it, but it's a cute game, and it's clear that a lot of love went into the visual and sound design.

'What's this furry game you're playing?' Ginger asked, glancing over and seeing animals on the screen. They were taken aback when Kerr appeared a moment later: 'Oh, wow, it actually is a furry game.'

The concept is that you're playing through a storybook, and at points in the story you can change what happens by changing certain words in the book. By going down different story paths, you can discover new words, and then you can jump back to previous points and try out those words there.

One thing that struck me is that Beacon Pines might be a good choice for someone just starting out with videogames. It's not too long, it doesn't demand quick reflexes or camera control, and items or people you can interact with are clearly indicated when you get close. I'm not necessarily the best person to judge, as I've played games for a very long time, but I think this one is probably very easy to grasp.

Beacon Pines wasn't life-changing, but I enjoyed my time with it and, if the hinted-at sequel actually manifests, I'm planning to pick it up. It's worth checking out if you enjoy story-and-character-focused, light-on-gameplay mystery titles like Night in the Woods or Oxenfree.
