Reblog if you write fanfic and would be totally down with your followers coming into you askbox and talking to you about your fic

What does your writing process look like? What are some of your favorite tropes/scenarios to write?

hmmm so see, if I had a process I would probably would publish constantly and consistently, but to my detriment, I have never established one.

Writing is something that I do enjoy, but I am quite the extrovert and like touching grass and being social on patios and doing all the things - so I often don't get the chance to crack open my computer and push out a fic. The full time job doesn't help either.

I write on my phone on the train sometimes, or wake up early (when I can) and try it, but otherwise there's no grand plan - no settling in, no lighting a candle, no getting comfy, mapping out a fic, and writing a banger.

At best, I have fits and starts and stops and rewrites and rewrites and throwing stuff on ao3 7 months after I started the thing.

Re: tropes/scenarios -

If you've seen my ao3 page, you know I'm not a fluff girly. I like it, but I am horrible at writing happy things. I need to have some darkness in there. For tlou, I love post silver lake fics in the time gap. I will never read or write it enough. The hurt comfort caring dynamic is just sooooo yummy.

[probssomethingorother]

where did your username come from??

Well, it used to be the same as my ao3 - probsdeleteltr. But I then changed it to be just a bit different because I was told having various usernames across accounts was more secure (idk if that’s true, but I went with it).

Probsdeleteltr = Probably will delete later

than became

Probsomethingorother =Probably something or other

I used to have a tumblr from middle school to high school and deleted it once I stopped using it in college. When I came back here to write fic and interact with the fandom, I was 0% sure I was going to stick around so the first iteration of my username came from that. The current iteration is a twist on the first, with no substance behind the ending, no rhyme, or reason.

Fic update! Revamped chapter 1 & 2!

DERAIL THE MIND OF ME

Winter after Silver Lake, Drug Abuse/Misuse, canon compliant-ish

Ellie, Joel, David (Mentioned)

Rating: Teen

You feelin’ alright?” Joel asks, voice breaking through the static.

“-ffeelnnn,” she tries, but the word crumbles in her mouth, slips away before she can catch it.

He’s moving before she even registers it - crouching low, close enough she can feel the heat of him cutting through the cold sweat on her skin. His eyes are all over her face. He knows. No way he can't. His gaze skates down - eyes flicking from hers to her mouth. He's probably seeing pinpoint pupils and purple lips.

Her heart kicks once, hard, like it wants to run.

Something’s wrong.

---

Joel promised Ellie things would get better come spring. They haven't. Ellie goes looking for the solution at the bottom of a little orange bottle.

Chapter 2/5 -Words: 24,842 -UPDATED 4/27/25

Haven’t touched this in over a year til now! Did another pass on chapters 1 & 2 before I started working on chapter 3 👀 It’s got a fair amount of new content, and is almost double what it was. Find it on Ao3 at the link above! Enjoy!

⚠️ wip wednesday ⚠️

Thanks for the tag @march-flowerr.

I never do these cause I never have anything to share, but here is the start of “Mopping up Butcher’s Floor” which is a one shot of post 2x02 from Jesse’s POV. Hopefully, I will have it completed sometime soon (definitely should be before season 3….but then again…with my track record…eh, no promises).

I did something. I may regret posting it with 3hrs of sleep in my body, but oh well.

Her head tilts back towards the water where the wind twirls snow across its surface in large, airborne white waves. They billow towards them, kicking up a rough gust that splatters icy flecks of snow onto her face. Her eyelids flutter, trying to blink back the intrusion of the wind - barely mange more than a twitch with the frost clinging to her lashes. A shiver ripples through her body, the frigid air creeping into Joel’s unzipped coat, hanging loosely around her.

Ice floats, maybe if she gets cold enough, she could too.

———-

Just another “what happens after” fic for all the people who love post 8 fics. Picks up basically right after Ellie and Joel walk away from the restaurant, from Ellie’s POV. Girly is struggling and will be struggling probs for quite some time.
