Fun, thank you for sharing your work! Hm...is there any kind of introductory/info page somewhere about FFM or other writing challenges on DA? I ask because that sounds like a GREAT way to get interesting prompts and get some more new writing going, but somehow I always find figuring out comms and events difficult the first time, and from the outside. (But I also wouldn't want to make you have to explain it all to me, either!)
BTW, I totally feel you on the urge to expand past your usual writing range – even though you’re really good at the stuff you already do! I've been working on something similar (though for me it's the push from things that are entirely character-focused to things that also have, like...plot.) For me, basically I was just getting *bored* with myself, always doing similar things.
Which I suppose is all to say, I cheer you on in expanding the kinds of things you do, if that’s what you want! But also, don’t feel you’re doing something wrong just because you have one area you’re particularly good at.
Also, Dutch! You've gotten to a level of being able to read articles and watch shows just by teaching yourself? I'm super impressed! Dutch is one of my all-time favorite languages (I have a lot of favorite languages...) But though I can understand a reasonable amount if I work hard, thanks to its proximity to German and English, I can't really say anything. The downside of a country where everyone speaks English.
