Casey for @jerzwriter 🩷💜💙

Casey is such an incredible character. She is so well crafted and I adore her relationship with Tobias, but I love that you've explored her past with Jessica too. I know this year has had its ups and downs for you so I hope this little chibi Casey brightens your day. Sending you lots of love. 🫶

October MC of the Month: Carolina Miosotys Rose

Please welcome October 2024's MC of the Month: @jerzwriter's Carolina Miosotys Rose

Each month, we highlight one MC or OC on our Meet My MC / OC List. They are selected randomly on the Wheel of Names, and eligibility requirements can be found here. We accept MC / OC profiles on an ongoing basis. Please feel free to send yours in!

Learn more about Carolina below.

1- In your own words, tell us what you like most about your MC / OC.

I love Carolina’s resiliency. She’s been through so much, and she just keeps going. But what I love most about her is that she’s not perfect; her physical and emotional wounds have left scars that she’ll carry forever. They’ve impacted her and changed her, but have never broken her.

2- Do you feel your MC / OC is like you at all? How are you alike or different?

A little bit, but she’s far more badass than me. She’s from the Bronx, and I’m from North Jersey. We both have NYC attitudes and street smarts; we’ve both been through a lot, and it’s made us who we are. But she’s fierce! She’s out there finding mass murderers, and I’m sure not doing that! But we both love the Yankees and good Latin food - though she can cook it and I can’t!

3- What is most important to your MC / OC? What is their motivation in life?

Carolina keeps her circle small. She’s written off most of her family, and she doesn’t let many into her inner sanctum, but those who make it there are all that matters to her. There is literally nothing she wouldn’t do for those closest to her heart. Her motivation? She wants to make her late father proud.

4- What are their biggest pet peeves/dislikes?

Slow walkers (she is a New Yorker…), bigots, gridlock, overpriced coffee, and people who don’t respect her need for alone time.

5- If your MC / OC could change one thing - anything - what would it be?

Free higher education.

Tag List Cleanup

Hey y'all! It's that time of year again! I'd like to trim the tag list of those who have moved on to other interests and perhaps add some who would like to be on.

*NO HARD FEELINGS* if you don't want to be on it, that's 100% fine! As most creators know, tagging on Tumblr can be a nuisance, so a small list of people who really want to see content is better than a big list of people who want to be polite.

Ethan Ramsey All

Ethan Ramsey x MC

Tobias Carrick

I wish to say thanks to people in our fandom who spread happiness. @storyofmychoices @peonierose @stars-are-within-me @jerzwriter @lilyoffandoms are in my mind, but there are more. I will write their names when I remember.

So many spread negativity and it makes people leave a place they come to have fun. Thank you to the people who remember what the fandom is for.

Hi there! I love the "firsts" theme! I'm going to try to create something for each one of those prompts this month. :) But I had a question: I know many creators (including me!) have already written some of these things for their OTPs in the past (like first meeting). Would you accept "throwback" fics/art if they fit those prompts? Just an idea—with the fandom kind of inactive—it may get some additional participation. Happy New Year to you, Cee! :)

Of course! Happy New Year to you too, Elsa!

[genevievemd]

Hello! Question for you: In your HC, does Gen have any long-term effects from the chemical attack or its treatment?

Physically, no.

Although in the immediate aftermath, I HC’d she has some weakness in her body still and some breathing issues. But those eventually got better

Mentally, yes.

It definitely made her anxiety disorder worse, and she had/has ptsd. It’s been a few years now, so they’re both better —- her GAD is obviously still something she deals with but it’s mellowed back to manageable now.

Thanks for the question bestie 😘

[missameliep]

Thank you for the tag @jerzwriter 🩷

This is so fun! I loved yours and I can’t say I lacked capybaras, but I decided to share only one. So, here we go 😊

Tagging: @princess-geek @lorirwritesfanfic @rosesnink @nifaraswife @lilyoffandoms (feel free to ignore 😊)

[dutifullynuttywitch]

Just popping in to say hi and wish you a beautiful week ahead. xo

Aww thank you my dear friend!! Hope you're having a lovely summer so far!!

[thesassywitchofthenortheast]

It's true! I love you to the moon and back. ❤️❤️ Miss you so much, hopefully we can get together soon! ❤️

I love you so much 💕💕💕💕 and I also miss you terribly 😭

[petalouda85]

Made me think of you! Hope you're doing better! Sending big hugs. ❤️❤️❤️

Honestly, not really 😞 Anxiety was really out of whack today. Super smoky and hot outside and my brain is making a mountain of a molehill over something that’ll probably be suuuuper minor and an easy fix in the grand scheme of things. Ugh

thank you for the kind ask. I really appreciate it

Dr. Casey MacTavish for @jerzwriter

Layers: 218

Dearest Elsa,

I am literally the worst! I feel so bad for missing your birthday. I had planned to post this for you, but my mental health had other ideas and left me with zero energy. Most of this week has been a blur, and I hate that I wasn’t there to celebrate you when I wanted to be. I’m SO sorry for the delay, especially knowing you’re going through a rough patch, too.

I hope you’ll still accept this belated gift, a special geometric art of your wonderful Casey! She is truly wonderful, but not even half as amazing as her creator. You are a talented and brilliant writer, a supportive friend, and someone I’m so grateful to have in my life. Happy (belated) birthday! ❤️

Love you!!!!

January Creator of the Month: Jerzwriter

Tumblr Blog Complete Masterlist

How do you want to be known on Tumblr? 

Elsa

More below...

1- When did you start playing Choices? What was the first book you played? 

It was sometime in 2017, and the first book I ever played was The Royal Romance, Book 1.

2- When and why did you join Choices fandom?

I joined a couple Facebook groups in 2019. I just wanted to discuss stories with others who were interested, as no one in my real life reads Choices. I didn't even know I was entering a fandom. lol I started reading fanfic on Tumblr the following year, but I found Tumblr intimidating, so I was mostly a silent reader. I didn’t start writing and contributing until May 2021, mostly because Open Heart was ending and I was in denial. 🙂

3- How did you pick your blog name? 

It’s pretty boring, actually. I’m from NJ, and I write. I wanted it to be JerZwriter, so people would know it is Jer-ZEE-Writer, but that wasn’t doable, so it’s Jerzwriter, and most think it is Jerz-Writer. Oh, well!  

4- Pull up the first and last posts in your archive, and tell us about them!  

My first post was the first chapter of my Ethan x Casey x Tobias love triangle, Delaying the Inevitable (OH).  It was my very first fanfic and I really didn't think I'd write anything beyond that.  I was so green back then, not only to fanfic but to the fandom as well. I’m really glad that I was naive because I don’t think I would have had the courage to post it if I had, but I’m glad that I did. 

My last post was Falling for You, a little drabble I wrote for Tobias x Casey (OH), and it featured a commission by the talented artist @weetlebeetle. It was a light, fun piece that took place early in Tobias and Casey's relationship, and it shows Tobias at his absolute simpiest. Lol 

5- Do you write fanfiction, create fan art, or are you one of those really gifted people who do both? 

Oh, how I wish I could draw, but I can't.  So, I’m strictly a writer. I may try giving drawing a go again, but I don't expect much to come of it. lol

6- How long have you been creating for Choices and for any other fandoms?

Choices was the first fandom I ever wrote for, and I started in May of 2021.  So, just over two and a half years. I have written a little bit for some other fandoms since that time, but I primarily write for Choices.

7- What is your favorite Choices book, and what is your favorite Choices book to create for?

Tough question.  I write for Open Heart, Crimes of Passion, and Wake the Dead, and they are three of my favorite stories. I also loved Desire & Decorum, but I never wrote for it.  Though, I’m planning a re-read, and you never know. 🙂

8- Share your first Choices fanfic or fan art that you posted with us. Do you still like it, or would you change it if you were creating it today?

It was the first chapter of Delaying the Inevitable. I was so green when I started that series that I’m sure there are things I would change, but I’m still very proud of it.  That series will always have a special place in my heart.  I’d like to revisit it one day to “clean it up”, it could use some condensing. But I would never change the storyline.

9- What is your favorite piece of fiction or art that you created? 

This is such an unfair question. lol The Delaying the Inevitable Series definitely comes to mind, but I’m also very proud of my Eli Sipes prequel stories, A Mother’s Journal, Coming Up Blank, and The End of the World. But Tobias and Casey are my favorite pairing, and I simply love the world I created for them. And while my headcanon for them is my favorite, I cannot pick just one fic for them, and I'm not going to! lol But, I've also written a bunch of AUs for them, and Friends* is one of my favorites.

10- Do you have a fic/art that you didn’t expect to be well received, but it was? What about one you expected to do well but found it could use a little more love?

Yes, to both! The fandom is much smaller today, but back when we were more active, I learned you couldn't predict how a fic would be received.  There are too many to name, but I will say whenever my smut does well (and quite a few of them have), I’m always astounded. lol 

11-  If you could write only angst, fluff, or smut for the rest of your writing life, which would it be and why? 

This is such a difficult question because I believe the best stories incorporate a little of each, and, as a writer, exploring all three helps spur creativity. Also, my absolute favorite is angst with a happy ending, so there is definitely some fluff in there (and I'm never mad at a little smut being thrown in!) But if I were forced to choose, it would probably be angst.  I think that's where I am strongest, and I just love raw emotion. I think that’s where character development really occurs. I have not written as much angst recently, and I miss it.  Perhaps I need a change in 2024. 

12 - Do you ever recognize yourself in any of your MCs or in your writing?

There are definitely parts of me in my MCs and OCs, but I do my best to prevent them from becoming self-inserts.  I'm not as cool as any of them, that's for sure! lol That said, I do find inspiration for my fics in real life, so there is bound to be a little crossover. When using real-life inspiration, I try to change details so that the fiction is not a carbon copy of the real-life event. Normally, by the time I'm done, they're hardly recognizable.

13 - What element of writing/art do you struggle with most? Where do you feel you are strongest?

I struggle most with setting a scene. Dialogue is my strong suit, and that just flows for me. It flows so much that sometimes I forget to describe what's going on around the conversation. I think this is particularly easy to do in fanfiction because so much of the "world" has already been provided for us, so I recognize this more when I'm writing original works.

The other thing I struggle with? Brevity. I know I can go on, and on, and on. lol I've gotten much better at this, but there is still room for improvement.

14 - Do you have any neglected work you really want to finish?

(Elsa leaves the room, quietly crawls under her desk, and hides…) YES!!! Far, far too many, and no matter how much I share those posts that say, "You don't have to finish! If you're not feeling it, move on!" I don't believe it! lol I really want to make wrapping them up a priority in 2024.  But I also know writing - particularly good writing - cannot be forced.  So, it's a goal, but I'll only do it if I feel it’s right. 

15 - If someone you know in real life (who isn’t involved in fandoms) asked to see your work, would you let them? If yes, what would you show them first? 

It would depend on who asked.  I’m not ashamed of writing fanfic at all, but if I believed the person would be judgemental, I wouldn't be willing to share.  A few of my friends have read select pieces of my fanfic, and I’ve always received positive feedback from them. I wouldn’t be opposed to sharing more.  What I'd share would depend greatly on the person asking.

16 - Are there any writers (published authors and/or fanfic writers) who influenced your writing or art? Are there any artists that influence you?

There are many published writers that I admire, but I don’t think they've influenced my writing here. Within the fandom, there are many writers who have inspired me in different ways. There is no way I can ever name them all. But I'd like to give a shout-out to some.

@jamespotterthefirst and @bex-la-get were among the first writers I read when I joined Tumblr. I found their passion for both canon and the worlds they created inspiring, especially as Open Heart was nearing its end and all of us addicts needed our fill. Reading their works helped keep the story alive for me and so many others, and it inspired me to try my hand at it as well. To my shock, they were both so encouraging and supportive of me when I arrived, and I'm forever grateful. Back then, I thought they were rockstars - and they are! But now, they're also friends. I wasn't familiar with @alwaysmychoices from the start, but when I came across their work, I was just blown away.  Weekend with Dr. Ramsey will live rent-free in my head forever, and that headcanon about Charlie calling Ethan the night before she marries someone else. (I faint.) Ohhh, the delicious angst! The way she made me feel what Charlie felt was just mind-boggling, and it encouraged me to really dig into my character's emotions and bring them to life in a more meaningful way.

Early on, I read @utterlyinevitable, and the thing that impressed me the most was how Dom was willing to "write stories that “went "go there.”  They tackled issues that others wouldn't touch.  In their world, everything wasn’t perfect, including the characters themselves. I admired that vision and, frankly, bravery, and it definitely encouraged me to write what I wanted to and not what I felt was expected of me.

More recently, @mydemonsdrivealimo inspired me to explore parts of my MCs that I have not delved into in the past.  In particular, Casey's bisexuality. It can be challenging to represent a bisexual character when they are in a straight-presenting relationship, and you risk alienating readers no matter what you do (looking at all readers here.) So it becomes easier to be lazy and ignore it. But that's a disservice to the character as much as it's a disservice to people living similar situations in real life... like I have many times. Through MJ's writing and our conversations, they've helped me become more aware and do a better job in this regard, and I'm not even sure if they know this - it may totally be news to them lol - but I'm eternally grateful. Now, I feel my girl Casey is free, and OMG, how I love our characters playing together in HC now!

Then there are @lilyoffandoms and @storyofmychoices, who bring joy to all that they touch. Who knew when Lily created a little drabble putting our characters in a new world together, it would end up being one of the brightest fandom spots of 2023? Who knew that so much more would stem from that one work? Seriously, it's been one of the highlights of my fandom experience this year, and it's helped me to find inspiration at times when I felt like it was lost. Thank you both - I am so lucky to have you both here!

There are so many more I could mention, but I'd still forget people and feel horrible, so I want to take the chance to thank every writer in the fandom for sharing their gifts with us. Each of you is an inspiration in your own way; each of you can give someone an idea, and you have no idea where that spark will lead. So, never stop sharing!

17-  Which one of your stories would you most like to see as a movie/series? 

Delaying the Inevitable, Friends*, All in the Past, and the WIP What’s Forever For. I also think some of my Ethan x Tobias works would have made for a good sitcom, and how I wish my Tobias x Casey friendship with Bryce x Jensen would be an epic sitcom. The world needs it! lol   (Jensen belongs to @mydemonsdrivealimo.)

19- Do you write original fiction or create non-fandom art? 

I do. Mostly shorter stories that will never see the light of day, but also some more substantive works... which will also never see the light of day! lol I wrote a novel-length political thriller some time ago. It would need a ton of work to bring it up to 2024, as the political landscape has changed so much. I also have two original WIPs I've been writing. One is an angsty story about a friendship that's loosely based on a childhood friend I lost to cancer a few years ago.  The other is a polyamorous romance about two best friends who fall for the same person. It's really a beautiful, emotional story. If I like the end result, maybe I'll let it see the light of day... maybe. lol

20-  What other hobbies do you have?

I enjoy theater, and I'm lucky enough to live in the best part of the world to partake in that.  I go to a lot of Broadway, Off-Broadway, and local theater productions. I also love going to concerts - they’re like group therapy! Trust me, I got more out of seeing Noah Kahan and Hozier in 2023 than I did from the entirety of sessions with my therapist - and I loved my therapist. lol

Prior to 2020, I did a fair amount of traveling, and I hope to start doing a little more this year.  But I have to admit, since the lockdown, I’ve become more of a homebody, and I like it, so we’ll see how that goes! 

I used to be very involved with activism and advocacy for women’s, lgbtq+, and mental health issues. I still am, but in a different capacity than I was in the past. These issues require people fighting for them, and doing so has always been a huge part of who I am, but it can be draining, and burnout is real. I really reached the end of my rope. So, nowadays, I work as a volunteer for a couple local organizations that really mean a lot to me. I'm not involved in grassroots efforts or taking trips to talk to legislators as often, but I'm helping people on a smaller scale, and that still goes a long, long way.

22: BONUS - tell us anything you’d like (if you want to).

As most of you know, I’m one of the mods here at CFWC, so it was a little weird when my the wheel landed on my name.  But, honestly, it’s happened before, and I've just spun again, even though I am eligible. But this time around, I decided to do it. This fandom really means a lot to me, and I wanted to share a little more about myself and my crazy pixelated people.

I'm truly grateful to everyone in the fandom who does their part to make this a place that many, like me, still see as a place they want to be. We're smaller, it's imperfect, it has plenty of problems, but I am choosing to focus on the good... because there is much more of that than there is bad. So, thank you to each of you... and I hope we all have a wonderful 2024! xo

PS... My header... I know Tobias wasn't technically an LI... which was truly criminal. So, that's what fandom is for, fixing what canon effed up. lol My favorite canon LI is Trystan Thorne (COP). I tried adding their picture to the header alongside Tobias, but it looked terrible, so here I am. :)

Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I can't wait to highlight more of you in 2024! :)

[choicesfandomappreciation]

Sending a shoutout and thank you to @jerzwriter. Always welcoming to new writers and artists. Gives more of her time to the Choices fandom than most people I’ve seen here. It’s easy to complain, but she doesn’t. She goes out of her way to support less popular books like Wake the Dead.

You deserve applause 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
