Antis suck and I hate them with a burning passion.

That is all.

20 questions for fic writers

thank you @three-magpies-in-a-trenchcoat for the tag!

1. How many works do you have on Ao3? 

130 (more if you count my side accounts and anonymous fics)

2. What’s your total Ao3 word count? 

958,861 (so close to a million,,,)

3. What fandoms do you write for? 

Right now, primarily Malevolent, but I've written for TMA a lot in the past as well. I also have some ideas for RQG fic since I've been relistening to that podcast!

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

The Cube Rule of Food Identification (TMA)

Just Married (Voltron)

it will be this, always (TMA)

a six-step process (TMA)

ten thousand flowers in spring (TMA) (i had no idea this had jumped to spot number 5!!!)

5. Do you respond to comments?

I used to, and I still want to, but I always feel like I need to have something to say more than "thank you so much!" and I get stuck in the paralysis of what to say and then forget to respond at all 😅 but if people ask me a direct question, I will usually answer it!

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? 

Hmmm. I write a lot of angst, but I trend towards happy endings rather than unhappy endings, so that's tough.

Oh! So this is on my side account for Malevolent, but The Curation and Preservation of Arthur Lester is probably the closest thing I have to a fic with an angsty ending (that is, it ends very badly for Arthur). Maybe on a more emotionally angsty side, as the pendulum swings? I think that fic generally has an ambiguous/hopeful ending, but only in terms of "they are no longer trapped in the time loop;" all the effects of the loop still remain, consciously or not.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? 

Also a hard question, mostly because I tend to write endings that are a bit.... not open-ended, but more "this isn't 100% resolved but it will be in the future and the steps are there but that's a journey the characters have to take on their own." That said, I think By Virtue of Divine Providence is probably my most straightforward happy ending, where "they lived happily ever after for all eternity" is the general vibe.

8. Do you get hate on fics? 

Not that I know of, though I'm sure it's happened at some point somewhere. Nothing to my face though (yet).

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? 

I do! I typically either write a) sex scenes that fit into the context of a longer fic as a plot point, which tend to be pretty straightforward "sex happened and it was emotional and significant for both people involved" or b) kinky and/or dead dove one-shots that usually get posted on side accounts or anonymously. (Mostly because my bookbinding imprint is tied to this username, and I like to maintain a sort of separation in case anyone IRL comes looking.)

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? 

I'm not a big crossover person, reading or writing. I think I maybe wrote a superwholock crossover when I was 14-15? But that's about it.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? 

I sure hope not!

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? 

Not that I know of, though people have done podfics or bookbinds of my fics before!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? 

No, but I'd love to try it some day!

14. What’s your all time favorite ship? 

100% jonmartin; I'll probably never be over them.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? 

I have an unfinished TMA longfic, Seen, Unseen, Unsung that I have fully outlined but will very likely never finish writing.

16. What are your writing strengths? 

I think I'm good at internal monologues (ie letting the character ramble for a bit), emotional beats (particularly angsty ones), and writing dialogue that sounds like something the character in question would say.

17. What are your writing weaknesses? 

I'm so bad at writing romance (and yet I keep trying 😅). Established romance? Fine, okay, I can do that. Budding romance? I have absolutely no idea and rely pretty much entirely on tropes I've seen in other fics or books/TV shows/movies/etc.. Also, I feel that I struggle a bit with transitions between scenes that aren't hard scene break cuts.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? 

If I do, I usually do something along the lines of, "He said in Spanish, 'Don't go over there!'" for ease of reading and because my translations would probably be horrible.

19. First fandom you wrote for? 

Probably Supernatural.

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

Hands-down whiskey old fashioned sour. It's such a fun world to play in, and I really enjoyed writing all the little newspaper/extra tidbits for it, and I have many more ideas swirling around in my brain for it. By Virtue of Divine Providence is a close second though.

I'll go ahead and tag @shadow0haven, @organchordsandlightning, @captaincravatthecapricious, @splitting-infinities, and anybody else who's interested!

I had an idea for a fan made Beetlejuice send off video to say thank you I guess. Or maybe just to express how much this how show means to all of us. Obviously since its a fan send off video, I need the fans, so here I am. I have ideas for all levels of anonymity, so if you don't feel comfortable showing your face, voice, or either, there are still ways you can participate. I'll need everything by January 7th for a 100% guarantee of being in the video, but I might still take things on the 8th. Yes I know its short notice I'm sorry. Anyways, if you'd like to participate, here's what you can do:Video. This would be a relatively short video, just you talking about Beetlejuice the musical, expressing thanks, whatever you want really. The only requirements for this is that it has to start with either "Beetlejuice" or "Beetlejuice the musical", almost like you're talking to the musical. For example; "Beetlejuice the musical, you have brought me so much joy throughout the years... ect". The video can be as long as you want, but depending on how many videos I get I'll probably only use 30 seconds to 1 minute.Picture. This could be any picture related to Beetlejuice. It could be you with your Beetlejuice merch, it could be you holding a playbill at the marquis, it could be you in Beetlejuice cosplay or costume. It would be of Beetlejuice decorations in your house. Anything to show your appreciation for the musical.Audio. This would be the exact same message as the video, except just an audio of you talking. Fairly straightforward. Again, this would have to start with "Beetlejuice" or "Beetlejuice the musical". You would also need to provide a name or username for the audio to be from. You can also add photo to go with the audio if you want to.Text. This option you be you writing out a message of gratitude, farewell, or anything else addressed to the musical. You can be specific with which font you want, or you can leave it up to me to decide. This would need to be signed with something, it could be your real name or a username of yours.Hand Written Text. This is the exact same thing as text but hand written. This is Just a more personal option. Also, this could be sent to me as a photo or printer scan. A printer scan would be ideal, but a photo is also great! Unfortunately this option may be a bit more difficult because you have to make sure your handwriting is legible in the photo you send.Logo Drawing. This would be a drawing of Beetlejuice the Musical's Logo. It can be on paper, Digitally, anything goes. For this, there are no expectations. As long as you can tell it's the logo, we're all good. It can be a 30 hour masterpiece, or it can be a 30 second doodle drawn on a sticky note. Anything goes. You can submit one, you can submit multiple, I'm happy to have them all. I'm going for quantity over quality for this option. No matter the quality of the logo you send me, it will be used.You can do as many of the above options as you like, any and all participation is greatly appreciated. You can reach me  through this email: anonymousonline197@gmail.com, Please title your email with whichever option you decide to submit just to make everything a little more organized. Hopefully I'll get enough submissions to make this happen!Thank you all for reading this post, please consider participating, and please tell anyone who might be interested

Please excuse my monstrous amount of tags, I just want to make sure this is seen by as many people as possible.

Hi, I am dying without ao3 right now (aren't we all) and I was just wondering if you would be willing to post Far Away and Breathing Cleaner Air here to Tumblr or on another sight, I miss it 💖💖💖 please and thank you for reading this

Hi! I wasn't able to respond earlier, and now ao3 is back up (rejoice!). however, i'm happy to provide pdfs of any of my fics to anyone on discord, just dm me with your username. Maybe if there's continuing issues with ao3 I'll set up an anonymous google drive folder and share the link on here - if that's something people are interested in, please let me know!

I'm very honored that you like my fic so much <3 and thanks for asking!
