i be Starlight

Welcome to my tiny and (relatively) anonymous space on the internet! See the pinned post on my Twitter for the most recent updates.

I can be found at these places:

  • My AO3: All my publicly available fanfiction are archived here.

  • My Wordpress: Primarily for personal stuff (aka blog), but this is also the home for other fandom or fandom-adjacent I write or draw (idk where best to archive art). Occasionally, you might also find nerd posts.

  • My Twitter: The place where I yell into the void lol If you choose to follow me, please be prepared to be inundated with SB19 posts and retweets and Asian drama stuff.

  • My Spotify: Specifically created for Korean drama OSTs lol For anyone who cares, this is the home of my fanfiction OSTs (charot) alongside a lot of SB19 playlists.

  • My anon email: Not that anyone really uses this anymore, but this where anyone who prefers emails (like me hehe) can reach me.

Works

All my publicly available fics are archived on AO3 (ibestarlight). Art will be archived on my Wordpress. See my pinned tweet for the latest updates.

Currently Working On

  • Fic for @ficwip's Valentine's event

  • ......a scientific article for work that I've been writing and rewriting since 2019 👀

  • Fic for a private event on @ficwip's Discord, aka that Avatar, The Last Airbender school AU fic I was working on since literally forever

  • Jo Yeong/Lee Gon canon-adjacent AU: What if it was Jo Yeong and Kang Shin-jae who retained their memories?

  • Kang Yo-han/Kim Ga-on AU: What if Ga-on's parents owned Kang Yo-han's favorite coffee shop?

  • A fairytale fic that started itself during @ficwip's last Discord retreat

First Half of 2022 Writing Projects

  • Jack Dalton returns from the Kovac mission: The one I tweeted about, aka Jack repeats his one-bullet-two-hostiles thing to save Mac again

  • Jack Dalton/Angus MacGyver college AU: Been in the works for a while! Mac is secretly in love with This Really Hot Older Dude™ (Jack) who comes to school daily. It's just too bad he's already in a relationship with a girl from one of his classes (Riley)... 😏

Current Art Projects

  • Weiss Kreuz: Supposedly for @ficwip's Dead Fandoms event but didn't quite make it

  • The Devil Judge: Not really sure yet. I just wanted to try drawing Kang Yo-han tbh

  • Original: Something to gift to my friends and family for Christmas 2022 (yes, I'm starting early because I'm slow okay lol)

About Starlight

I got into the fandom world when I was a pre-teen, back when Geocities and webrings were still a thing. My first fandom was Yu Yu Hakusho. For a while I circled only the manga-anime fandoms, but eventually branched out from there. I currently follow multiple fandoms and ship multiple ships. In all honesty, I'll most likely continue to be in fandom until the day I expire from this earth.

Here are a few random things about me you should consider if you're thinking about following me outside of AO3 (aka disclaimers mga besh):

  • I am fluent in English. I formally learned it when I started school at 4 years old, but it is not my first language. I have about 5 other languages (although really only fluent in 1) rattling around in my head, so please bear with me if I sometimes have trouble expressing myself or make a misstep in any English phrasing.

  • I am in fandom to indulge myself. I write, draw, and ship what I want, when I want, and however I want. I support everyone's right to do the same.

  • I do not ship real people.

  • My work life and my health can become pretty demanding at the drop of a hat. I sometimes just disappear off the face of the internet without warning, WIPs and other stuff notwithstanding.

  • I like a wide array of things outside of fandom, and may or may not talk about it on Twitter a lot. This includes martial arts, politics, healthcare, and other real world stuff.

Get in Touch

Follow me on Twitter! I typically reply within minutes, unless I'm asleep or otherwise engaged (aka at work...... or binging a drama 😌).

I also regularly check my AO3 and WordPress, but I'm admittedly not too good at keeping up with replies there. I typically get back to people anywhere from a few hours to a few months. 👀

And of course, feel free to reach out to me the old school way at [email protected].
