Hey everyone – presumenothing here, though I also answer to presume, justjoy, "you there!", and various other (possibly less complimentary) things. Usually found under this same username on Tumblr, or as justjoy on AO3 and FFN. I've been writing DCMK fics for the past four years or so (albeit with some major writer's block in 2014), though if anyone's heard of me it's probably from the translation/summary work I've been doing of late after being sucked back into the fandom. Can't edit/draw decently to save my life, though. I admit to generally being terrible about posting on forums, which is why I haven't created an account here before this, but after barrelling through a bunch of fic prompts on Tumblr recently ( here's a list of them if anyone's interested *shameless self-plug*) I remembered all over again that I actually really enjoy writing this stuff, and prompts are a good motivator for me to fit writing time around my uni schedule, because I tend to flail around aimlessly otherwise if left to my own devices. Here's to hoping that the contests 'round here will help with that, then!

Hello there and welcome! I'm Mikau, one of the mods here. I hope you have fun, and I wish you luck with your endeavor to write regularly!
I struggle with that sometimes too. It's hit or miss with me, honestly. ^.^; I can write 50k in two weeks and then not write half as much in two months. I've got work and fam and exercise to try to fit in too, so it can be tough to find a good balance. Here's hoping our contests and prompts help you out!
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Once again, welcome!

Thanks everyone! also – Mikauzoran: I'm more of a 5k-or-less person, the only time I ever wrote 50k was for NaNoWriMo a few years back (also DCMK, unfinished AU), haha. neonquincy1217: um, I find it a bit weird when people call me that online, since that's a name I use IRL as well...

Haha. Yeah. ^.^; I'm a bit of a writing beast at times. ...I wrote 5k yesterday. I get inspired and then BAM! ^.^; I've found that forcing yourself to write even when you don't feel like it can lead to great things. Professional writers don't have the luxury of waiting for inspiration.

Hey Presumenothing!!! Welcome to the forum Imsure you'll love it as there are almost always things going on. It's my first forum too and I like how active it is. I also can't draw, but browsing through the fan art library and new drawing comps is one of my favourite things to do on the forum. There are tons of prompts and competitions (as everyone has already said) so go wild. I hope that you join in voting for our comps that have almost closed and maybe join in the next one...? Anyway, have fun and see you around the forum

Yay! Now I'm really hoping we get one more entry by tomorrow so that we can have a vote. Man. I might have to whip something up myself. :/
