0061 | in which I write fic for a cellphone game, & don't really know how to feel about it

► First thing's first: I've unlocked this journal. I did this because a couple of days ago, it occurred to me that I... didn't really have a reason to have it locked? Pretty much all of the reasons which led me to lock my original LJ in the first place don't really apply anymore. I do feel shy at the thought of just anyone being able to read what I write, but that didn't seem to be a good enough reason to keep things this way. So, unlocked it is.

► In a somewhat related note, I also posted fic today. This is "somewhat-related" because one of my goals for this year is to get at least a bit less shy in regards to my writing. While actually posting it is all good and well, I feel like I'm still hiding at least a little bit when it comes to the fic I decide isn't good enough for AO3. Posting fic to a journal where no one can see it is not the same thing as posting it somewhere where I know people might see it.

Because of this, I've decided that, from now on, when I post something— regardless of whether it's just on DW, or if it's on DW & AO3— I also have to mention that I did so on my next DW post. We'll see how this works.

Of course, the first time I do this, it has to be for a fic for an unconventional fandom. /sighs

TITLE: On the Other Side of the Aurora
FANDOM: Animal Boyfriend
FOCUS: Teacher/Student, slight Teacher/Winter Trip Event Tour Guide
WORDCOUNT: 1539
WARNING(S): Second Person Narrative
SUMMARY: You meant for the vacation to be a treat. And even at the end, you can't quite see the ways in which you failed.

Now I kind of feel the need to explain how this came about. ( cut for the flist )

I don't even know how to tag this. Does Animal Boyfriend count as a video game? Idk what else it could be, though. Also, why do I play games with such embarrassing titles? asdfghjkl;
