NullNoMoreXenotober 2025, 31 stories in 31 days, all set on the planet Mira in Xenoblade X. Wish me luck. #Xenotober
Day 1: two soldiers versus an overpowered bird.

I'm using #Cringetober prompts.
Day 2: weird colors. Two soldiers (Irina and Gwin), facing a temporary injury, find a novel solution. (Yes, the left skell is in prairie green.)

Day 3, Chibi: Irina phones a friend to get help fixing her mech.

Day 4: fursona. Plenty of fuzzy aliens on the planet to choose from.

Day 5: favorite trope. Mia wishes she could have amnesia. Joking. Mostly.

Day 6: musical/monster. Lucky the OC hits a sour note while making coffee (an attempt at horror). (No, really.)

Xenotober day 7: anime. I know very little about anime but my Xenoblade XDE avatar knows even less.

Xenotober day 8: The Cringetober prompt was "-core aestheic." Let the giant robot fangirl decorate her room up nice.

Xenotober day 9: indie game. Two guys fight giant crabs and discuss story versus gameplay.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/71678411/chapters/188014841
Cringetober day 10: Unnecessarily complex. How to move a dinosaur. Milesaur. Really big alien creature.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/71678411/chapters/188130156
Day 11 of Cringetober prompt was crossover. I looked at all of the Xeno franchises, where characters bounce around like bouncy things, and did not bite. Instead, I started to mutter "heels, nails, BLADE, mascara..."

#Cringetober #XenobladeX #kpdh you deserve better but here we are
Xenotober/Cringetober day 12: Vocaloid. A continuation from day 6. Lucky the OC needs to sing with his band.

Cringetober day 13: animal traits.
I'm exhausted so I slapped a tail on a mech and called it good.

Cringetober day 16: First OC. Doesn't everyone have a gas station as an OC?

Cringetober/Xenotober day 15: First attempt. The prompt encourages us to try a new kind of art. I wrote a Y/N story and used a wet paintbrush on my ink doodle. I'm rather pleased with both.
Showing off my favorite ink: Pilot Shin-kai. So lovely, so calm, zero water resistance.

Cringetober day 16: reclaimed insecurity. We all know Alexa can yap about mechs. What if that's one of her super powers?
She really does deserve a cape.

Cringetober/Xenotober day 17. OC x Canon Character. H.B. is the most exacting man on the planet. Veena the OC continues to surprise him, even when he's paying attention. Especially when he's paying attention. Lower your expectations.

I did Cringetober but didn't have the oomph to draw a picture. Tomorrow, I promise.
Day 18 & 19: the mech refueling station team in an alternate universe, and a meme redraw. I survived day 19, but not without damage.

Cringetober days 20 and 21. Picrew and animatic. Visual based prompts aren't a breeze for fanfic but I used my secret weapon: writing from a bratty 13-year-old's perspective. Been there, watched it from the outside, have it on tap. Lin and Alexa and skells, Lin and Tatsu and (surprise) more skells.

Cringetober: Art style experiment and [unhinged screeching] soulmates [screeching intensifies].
I wrote in-game dialogue for my Cross, and then [unhinged screeching crescendo] my original couple gets soulmate treatment [absolute yodeling] ... and they don't notice [screaming so much screaming]. I had fun.
