#I’m waiting for any one of my Pedro moots to come out and be like ‘Erika you forgot this guy’ and I’m gonna CRY LOL

🥤

Please!

🦴 = a piece of media that inspires my writing?

Not really one set piece. More like music in general does. I often listen to lofi beats when writing or my writing playlist to set the mood of what I’m trying to write. Or it could be music I’m listening to in the car or waiting somewhere could lead to some bullet points that become a fic. 😆

🍓= what led me to write fanfic in the first place?

Going deep here aren’t you Em? 👀 lol I’ve enjoyed writing since I was little as an extension of my love of reading. First with poems and the anime fanfiction when I actually watch more anime. Now I read more manga and don’t write fanfiction about it. If one squints on A03 - I may have dabbled in Marvel characters and actors for a short time. 🫢 The took a long pause as life happened. Sometime last year as my mental health improved so did my love of writing and I hyper focused on Pedro Pascal so here we are. 🤣 I write more the better my mood is. Maybe a bit too much background 😵

🥤= recommend and author or fic you love

Ugh just one? Dammit. 😒 I shall not! I’ll do eight because there are no favorites! Only peeps we support! And I can’t really call any of them number one I enjoy them all too much. 🥰

1. @morallyinept Pretty much anything you read of Jett’s will be beautiful, sensual, take you to a far away place or have needing to remove clothing - possibly from reading the same fic. 😆 She covers a wide variety of Pedro characters and is a wealth of knowledge on them. She also is just really talented and sweet.

2. @maggiemayhemnj Sure Ms. Payday doesn’t have a long Masterlist but every fic on there is worth reading for her turns of phases, vivid descriptions and her love of both Joel and Ezra. 💕

3. @megamindsecretlair One of my fellow black writers who keeps readers thirsty and eager for more with her Sam, Bucky and Loki series (all of which I need to catch up on or finish 👀) and is a hilarious person as she is kind.

4. @soft-girl-musings Another fellow black writer who’s “Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps” 1920’s or 40’s (I’m not great with telling time obviously 🙄 ) has me wondering what’s going to happen next, what is going on in that club and where else am I going to see curly haired Marcello is going to pop up at. 🤣

5. @ramblers-lets-get-ramblin The Mistress of Agnst. Her masterlist is for those who aren’t afraid to explore the darker side and stories that may not have happy endings but you’ll still feel satisfied that to finished it. To feel another type of satisfaction, you’ll need to read her smut and seek your other completion there. ☺️ You’ll be thankful for both rides.

6. @pedroshotwifey A newer moot to me who has equal parts smut, agnst and dabs of darkness in there. What can I say? I like dark fics if they’re just right. Like I like my crime dramas and cop procederals. 🤣 She and I have a good time supporting each other and exchanging thots. Her “To The Flame” series has set the reader up for what may be a spectacular fall or maybe she’ll find her way out? Only she knows.

7. @magpiepills Ezra’s second wife (because @morallyinept is his first wife and I think @maggiemayhemnj is the paramour - because it sounds fancy) The amount of filthy things she’s had him do both with one arm and two is something everyone should read twice. I also especially enjoyed her fic “Aquarius” which a whore version of Javier Peña that spoke strongly to me. Or maybe parts of me, let’s not split hairs. 🤭

8. @angelofsmalldeath-codeine She’ll say she’s not a writer. BUT as all writers know, we don’t do very well if someone isn’t reading stuff we toss out into the ether. Hemmy is as supportive as they come, reblogging and offering many a thot as both the High Chancellor of the Horny Delegation and as a friend. ❤️ Plus she supports my very soft bois Dieter and Javi G. 😆 She I think was one of the main reasons I wrote more of “Weddings 101 with Dieter.” She asked me something along the lines of, “is there more to this? This is a very cool or unique premise.” As she well knows, just tell me I did something well and I’m happy as a pearl in a clam. 🤣

Fanfic author ask game

Thanks for the ask Em! Just know I pretty much write paragraphs because I gotta explain. 🤭 I’m Nerdie and I’m wordy. 😚 I had to make one bad joke. You have to be able to tell it’s me.

Tumblr Writers Q&A

Thanks for tagging me @queenofthefaceless 💕

1) How many complete fics/one shots do you have that you have not published (yet)?

Two. 😅 I have a Marcus Pike and Din Djarin one!

2) How many WIPS do you have right now?

Three, oof. I’m hoping to knock them both out within the next week, but we’ll see.

3) Do you take writing requests or write original ideas, or both?

Both! My requests are open I’m just really slow about them so sorry to anyone that is waiting LOL.

4) If you do take requests, how many do you currently have?

I have three currently!

5) How many fandoms do you write for?

Just the Pedro fam!

6) Are there any fandoms you wrote for in the past that you no longer write for?

Nope! Pedro fam was my first fandom.

7) Do you write for ships, reader inserts or other?

I write reader inserts, but when it feels right I’m definitely down to write some OC characters!

8) Niche fandoms/characters you write for?

Nope!

9) Do you read fics as well as write them?

Oh yes I do! I read before I started writing them.

10) What is your favorite genre to write for?

Oh man, soft smut is my fave or just smut in general. But soft? There’s just something about it that I love.

11) What is your favorite trope (to read/write)?

Slow burn! Only one bed (my favorite), and friends to lovers. Oh and coworkers to lovers if that’s a trope!

12) What do you do to get motivated to write?

A lot of times it’s gifs or photo inspo. I also listen to music as well to get me going! Also, talking about my fics with pocket moots! I’m not even kidding. I’ll be stuck on a fic and I’ll talk it out and suddenly get the biggest boost to write. Talk to your mutuals, ya’ll!

13) Is there a trope/genre you like to read, but not write?

Honestly no! If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my time in fanfiction is that anything I say I won’t write I end up contradicting myself by writing it so I’m just ever evolving lol.

14) Any characters/fandoms you want to write for that are never requested?

I don’t think so! I’m always open for challenging myself, but whichever.

15) How long have you been writing fanfiction?

I came real late in the game. Not until I was 29. 😅

16) Did you read fanfiction before you started writing?

Absolutely! I would have never had the guts to write if I didn’t.

17) Do you only post on Tumblr, or any other sites as well?

I post on AO3 as well!

18) What do you personally consider the word counts of “Drabble”, “One shots” and “fics”?

So drabble to me is anything under 1k, one shots to me is 1k-5k, and fics is 5k+.

19) Which do you prefer to write more? HC, drabbles, oneshots/fics, multi chapter stories, other?

Maybe drabbles and oneshots/fics?

20) Are there any stories you have discontinued? If so, why?

Yes. New Beginnings. I had zero plan of how I wanted it to go, no outline, and I just felt lost. I may revamp it at some point, but alas for now.

21) What is one of your main “pet-peeves” as a writer on Tumblr?

I’m with Ari! Anon hate is the worst. I just can’t understand how someone needs that to feel better about themselves. It’s just sad. Other than that I don’t think so? I think I don’t enjoy a certain kink and then a writer slaps me in the face with their fic.

22) Do you write at a particular time of day?

Anytime honestly. Sometimes I write in the morning or late at night. Whenever the mood strikes.

23) Do you listen to music, ambiance/noise, etc. to write or do you need silence?

It really depends! I start out listening to music and then sometimes I turn it off when I get to certain parts because I can’t focus and then I turn it back on. So 50/50.

24) Do you outline your fics at all before writing?

I’d say a good 80% I’ve outlined and I do prefer doing it. I forget easily so it’s nice to have it in one place. I will say that Insatiable, Touch Me, and Time Restraints were zero planning and I just sat down until it was finished with no idea where it was going to go.

25) Do you post your writing as soon as you finish it, or do you schedule it to come out at a specific time/day?

Most of the time I schedule it to come out in the early morning! So I can do my evening reblog and then another morning reblog. But sometimes, I just hit that post button the minute my google doc saves with zero care of how late it is.
