Get to know you game! Answer the questions and tag people you want to know better!

I was tagged by the lovely @irrelevanttous <3

Last song listened to: she's a lady by forever the sickest kids. my current daylist is "old school punk millennial monday evening" and i put it on while making dinner and this was the last song it spun up before i had to go to class. EXTREMELY silly song but very fun to bop to in the kitchen. transports me instantly to drinking in a parking lot in allentown pennsylvania in 2008.

Currently reading: i JUST finished empire of cotton: a global history by sven beckert, which was my big read for school this week… fascinating and deeply depressing book lmao. i am also in the middle of the audiobook of courtney milan's the duke who didn't; i am enjoying a lot of things about it and think it is a very good historical romance even though it has the same shortfalls for me that most romances have, even very good ones, which is not an issue with the book but just with romance as a genre being unable to do the things that makes me truly feral about a book. i am also one chapter into robin hobb's ship of magic as part of my big ongoing robin hobb reread (up until i hit the end of the tawny man trilogy, at which point i will be treading new robin hobb ground… excited 4 me)

Currently watching: i got a paramount+ account so we could watch the superbowl so i've been using my access to watch stuff on there before i cancel it in a month, lol. currently that means finally watching the last 5 seasons of criminal minds, which is a deeply stupid show that for some reason i love very much. due to my grad school agonies i can only watch things that makes my brain feel smooth, and criminal minds makes my brain feel VERY smooth. i have also been rewatching doctor who, but i got through the first four seasons which are the important seasons so i might quit that rewatch.

Currently obsessed with: my big robin hobb reread, haha. idk, i don't really have the brainpower to be obsessed with much outside of my classes right now; my free time and energy are SO limited 😭 i have a couple of my own fic ideas that i'm pretty obsessed with! but tragically haven't been able to do much with them besides rotate them in my mind and make notes in my notes app.

"About the Blogger" Meme

Thanks for tag @bioloyg <3

Star Sign(s): Scorpio Sun (I literally never remember my other ones, I should probably memorize them)

Favorite Holidays: Christmas and Halloween. even tho i find it harder to feel the holiday spirit up until the very last minute i love christmas so much. and not even to be corny but its true that when you grow up you start to care less about the presents and more about the memories with family and friends.

i grew up in a religous family so my parents didnt let me celebrate halloween but i still love it with my whole heart. im a november baby so i love fall and all things eerie and spooky.

Last Meal: McDonalad's snack wrap and one of those new fruit splash drinks. its exam season so ofc im eating like shit. will probably eat some ice cream when i get home after my physiology exam in 30 minutes. so yay to junk food

Current Favorite Musician: currently ive been really enjoying pinkpantheress. her new album is literally 10/10. she has such a knack for melodies, and her lyrics are very eerie and poetic while maintaining a cutesy 2000s vibe. shes also a sampling queen.

honoarble mentions: ive been listening to a lot of janet, rosalia and red velvet these days too.

Last Music Listened To: feedback by janet Jackson. bro istg you have to clear the area when this comes on, i cant help but dance

Last Movie Watched: last movie i watched was bride wars. honestly a classic movie, so funny and i love wedding movies so i reccomend it. that was a month ago tho, which is crazy.

Last TV Show Watched: like the wonderful person who tagged me i watched the bear last. i just rewatched s02e01. ive been doing this thing where i'll either rewatch episodes for research, boredom or just because i get sucked in rewatching a specific clip that makes me want to rewatch the whole episode.

Last Book/Fic Finished: last fic i finished was keeping up with the berzattos by chefskiss40 on ao3. ive reread it like 3 or 4 times now and im patiently waiting for an update. its just so good, i love the domestic vibes. im not a fan of seeing my ships start families in canon but in fic? oh i could read that forever

Last Book/Fic Abandoned: not really abandoned but sorta modified? the sydcarmy high school au i started in the summer was a good concept but i didnt really have a concrete idea where the overall story would go. BUT im planning on maybe doing a series which is just a collection of one shots of them in HS? OR i plan on doing a multi-chapter shorter story that is an AU that also takes place in a high school setting but with a twist that i dont want to reveal bc that would mean i would have to commit to it. lol

Currently Reading: nothing. unless you count all these articles/research papers I've been reading for my health research studies course (think i aced the exam yesterday so maybe all the pain was worth it)

Last Thing Researched for Art/Writing/Hyperfixation: doesnt really count as research but basically i was on pinterest creating boards for 3 different fics. was researching wedding dresses for a nat & syd fic where they go wedding dress shopping (will be finishing after my last exam). also just creating two other boards to inspire myself to start the au i teased above and my bones and all AU/retelling i talked about last month. i want to watch some more cannibalism media and maybe research about 80s pop culture and politics before i dive into that one fully.

Favorite Online Fandom Memory: ummmm probably just being a menace on twitter with my friends that i made through being a reveluv. we talk every single day, and they are some of the best people i know. maybe the times we used to get up early or stay up late for comeback season, watch the kcharts being updated hourly and crack jokes about group we liked and didnt like

Favorite Old Fandom You Wish Would Drag You Back In/Have A Resurgence: technically THG is having a resurgence right now but im way too into the bear to really get back into it and also i havent seen the new movie. im excited to once exam season is done but i feel like the hype is already dying so i dont see myself getting too into it.

Favorite Thing You Enjoy That Never Had an Active or Big "Fandom" but You Wish It Did: uhhhh cant think of one tbh.

Tempting Project You're Trying to Rein In/Don't Have Time For: honestly every sydcarmy fic idea i have that would take multi chapters to flesh out. one shots are very safe for me. but im praying i'll commit to it. esp the bones and all AU lol

this was fun

tagging some ppl to do this too, only if you want!

Late as ever but thank you @lemonlyman-dotcom @rmd-writes and @freneticfloetry for tagging me in this! It's been a blast reading everyone's answers!!

Tag ten people you want to get to know better...

Relationship Status: Single and really quite neutral about it :)

Song stuck in my head: Banana Pancakes- Jack Johnson

Last song I listened to: Mess-Noah Kahan

Three favourite foods: Chicken Burritos, anything that can be reasonably served for breakfast (that definitely covers three)

Last thing I Googled: I checked to make sure I was spelling opportunity correctly in a system without spell check...

Dream trip: Does it count as a trip if I just want to go to a little house in the countryside of Italy and never come back.

Anything I want right now: for my cat to let me sleep passed 4am tomorrow morning...

If you could be any animal, what would you be and why? an Elephant so I never have to forget and my skin is a little thicker when shit gets tough.

Would you rather have the power to read minds or fly? I'm afraid of heights and what people think of me, so I'm going to say fly but just imagine it as more of a float, a silly little hover, like 3 inches off the ground max.

(I'm 100% sure all of these folks of done this already or have been tagged to the moon and back but I'm going to toss my tags out to @rosedavid @watmalik @mixtapestar @detective-giggles @reyesstrand @strandnreyes @alrightbuckaroo and just in general to all the folx that have been so so so kind to me in my tags on the art i've posted!

2022 Reader Survey Q&A!

Thank you everyone who responded to the Q&A! Here are some answers to your questions.

What kind of fics (or alternate universe adaptions of them) do you like to read? (Top 3 listed below)

Romance Fics

Smut Fics

Dark Fics

/moor: Y'all have great taste. ;)

If moor were to update (and hopefully finish) three (3) fics in 2023, what fics would you like her to focus on? (Top 3 listed below)

Kimono no Onna (MadaSaku) Shangri-La (MadaSaku, IzuSaku/KakaSaku) The Art of Dating a Rich Man (TAoDaRM) (HashiSaku, MadaSaku/IzuSaku... TobiSaku)

/moor: I've taken this to heart and am currently plugging away at "Shangri-La". I am going to work on the above fics, along with the final chapter of "Pop the Top", to try and move them as far forward this year as I can. There's a good chance "Shangri-La" and "Pop" will be completed, along with *possibly" "Kimono no Onna", if I pull hard. No guarantees for “TAoDaRM”, but I’ll try and crank out two chapters this year, if possible. We’ll see how close we get to the end from there. ;) Thank you for helping me prioritize!

What do you wish moor would write more of?

i guess more akatsaku fics? i've been lowkey wanting a comeback era of akatsaku fics like back in the days While I love moor and her writing, I have a soft spot for her UchiSaku fics in particular. Historical AU/ japanese lore MadaSaku and KakaSaku, i'm a big fan. MinaSaku please 😅 but generally stories where prospective partners of Sakura are somewhat possessive and experience jealousy over other interested males 😅 Mada/Saku happinesses. There's always drama plots, I would like for them to have a happy ending for once! DILFs. Of all shapes and sizes. Comedy

/moor: Dude, for the AkatSaku fics, I'm with you. I've been wanting a renaissance of those fics, too. (Then again, I've also been wanting to indulge in more dark!fic writing where I could explore some of that, and comedy, to have fun with it again.) I wasn't confident in my writing (fanfic for one thing, but Naruto-fanfic) back when those fics were popular (pre-2010s or so?), unfortunately. ^^; Fingers crossed we can have a few little one-shots this year that get to dive into those days. /moor: UchiSaku: My luv, I'll never part from UchiSaku. My ADHD/hyperfixations don't allow me to give up some things, and dark haired brooding men are here to stay. /moor: Historical AU/Japanese lore: Ooooooooh, I wonder what I could do with this, maybe in a one-shot... I loved writing the "Tengu" fic... Let me see what Ghibli-ish notions cross my  plot notebook as I ruminate on this a bit. /moor: MadaSaku and KakaSaku: Mmmm.... favs of mine, too. I admit, I stopped writing as much KakaSaku very specifically because they were my most frequently plagiarised fics. I spent most of last year's writing time (literally, weeks and months from January through early autumn) taking down plagiarised fics and fic-scrapers. It killed my will to write and is the main reason there were so few updates last year. I have nearly a dozen KakaSaku WIPs that will likely never see the light of day because of how certain I am they'll be plagiarised (again). HOWEVER, I am participating in a few fic exchanges this year and am currently working on several KakaSaku one-shot gift-fics, so those WILL be published probably by the end of March 2023. If you're on my Fic Update Notification List, I'll be sending out a link when they're ready! (And there will definitely be more MadaSaku.) /moor: MinaSaku: I want more, too. I have some plans for this pairing—Likely won't be available until 2024-ish, but yes, they're coming along. ;) /moor: Possessive of Sakura-fics: YES. More coming, and definitely in 2023. "Shangri-La" and "Kimono no Onna" in particular, but more beyond that, too. /moor: MadaSaku Happiness: I promise that there is definitely at least 1 MadaSaku fic I'm currently writing that will have a very, very happy MadaSaku ending. I'll see what I can do beyond that. (Maybe a comedy one-shot or two?) /moor: DILFS of all shapes/sizes: I see what you did there, and it had me laughing. Fine. Yes. More coming. /moor: Comedy: YES. I agree. :)

moor is thinking of running a few events in 2023. Would you be interested in any of the following? (Top 3 listed below)

Dark!Fic Weekend (write/sharedark fics, fanart, collabs, etc.) Naruto DILF/MILF Week II (runevery other year?) Win-A-Fic Weekend (moor opens up prompts and your prompt is chosen)

/moor: I'll post an Interest Check form sometime soon to gauge potential participation and get back to you about these!

What do you think moor's biggest writing problem/challenge is? (delays between updates? low-quality updates? poor organization? poor writing? skipping between ideas for stories? inconsistent updates? inconsistent story writing? moor not keeping promises/meeting expectations? etc.)

I think that we are lucky you share your stories at all, but if I had to pick something it would be that you have too many WIP open at a time. Since all the updates that come out are meaty and high-quality, I don't mind the wait at all. One thing I struggle with trying to find a specific fic from Moor if it's been a while since I've read it. There are a lot of platforms and posts to check and sometimes I fail to find what I'm looking for. Maybe a sort of index page/masterlist of the fics and their location could help in case it's a common issue? (I suck at bookmarking and lose fics all the time which is a me problem, so feel free to ignore this wish and sorry if I'm being unkind/selfish :)). Delays with updates. Your quality is immaculate and I cannot emphasize enough how much I love your fics!!!111oneoneone ❤️🔥 if I could have one wish it would be more frequent updates, or maybe some update schedule? but I know that’s hard so I’m happy with what we currently have esp when it comes to my absolute fav, Forest Fire ❤️ I have no problem with your writing and I think you keep your readers updated enough.  If I were to be extremely nitpicky, maybe have progress reports on fics?  

/moor: Too many WIP: You're 100% correct, and I have no excuse, I'm sorry. /moor: Masterlist: This was an excellent point and I took it to heart. The Masterlist is available now and updated when I post each fic and update. :) /moor: More Frequent Updates/Update Schedule: I'm currently trying to update more frequently to close out a few fics; I'm not sure I'm able to be consistent enough for an actual update schedule, unfortunately, and I'm sorry. My real/non-fandom life doesn't lend itself to consistency. /moor: Forest Fire: Some know this after following me for (literally) years, Forest Fire is one of my precious babies. One of my fics that I worked hardest on. Huge portions of FFIII are written; however, it's one fic wherein I refuse to compromise my writing. My goal is to (someday) have it fully written so that I can post regular updates for it again, as I did for FF II. Possibly monthly, or even bi-weekly, updates, to keep the story flowing without suffering from huge gaps of time between posts. I apologize, I don't have a timeline for when that will be possible. /moor: Progress Reports: This is possibly feasible. Let me think about this. Do you have any recommendations for what form you'd like this in? Like, a webpage where I indicate how close a chapter is to completion, or a spreadsheet wherein I write at what stage each chapter or fic is?

Do you have any questions for moor?

would you ever be interested in writing sakura crossover stories? /moor: Absolutely. Time is what limits me. :)

Do you enjoy teasing/breaking us? /moor: I thrive on your suffering.

How did you decide on your name? How do you think your personal experiences have informed your stories, if at all? What is a trope you would never write because it doesn't appeal to you? Alternatively, is there a trope/plot you are dying to write but you're afraid you won't do it justice? /moor: My name is a variation on part of my first name. Many/most of my stories are based on personal experience in one way or another. :) A trope I could never write would be... hmmmm... Constant suffering, I think. Particularly children suffering and abuse. A trope/plot I would love to write but am afraid I would never do justice... hmmm... (You ask good questions, they have me thinking). Kindness. Or a story where the protagonists don't come out on top; I like seeing people win and overcome their challenges, but that isn't always a mature outlook, as we in reality must often learn to live and accept that we won't win all our battles, at least not in the way we'd like. I struggle with accepting that, so it's something that I wouldn't write in my fics often/well because it grates on me. : )

When will you update kimono no onna? Its so good and no pressure just really curious and eager for more😅 /moor: I squeezed in an extra update for you over the holidays! :)  There will be more coming later this year. We're closing in on a major plot point.

No, only good wish for her ❤️ Can't think of any at the moment 😅 /moor: <3 Thank you! I wish you all the best, too, Wonderfuls. :)

Do you feel your interest is increasing/decreasing for Naruto and therefore your fanfiction? /moor: Hmmm... I don't know if I'd say 'interest' as much as 'patience'. I find myself reading comments or commentary from readers who sound too young to be reading my work, and that frustrates me. I also am tired of dealing with plagiarism, assholes reporting me to AO3 for bullshit reasons and having to deal with the AO3 staff who have deleted some of my stories, and individuals who convey an insufferable amount of entitlement towards authors. I am very fortunate to have the engagement I do with so many wonderful friends, readers, and writers. I struggle with my patience for dealing with the BS that sometimes accompanies writing for a popular fandom. It’s one of the reasons I am (100% seriously) looking into how to create and run my own fanfic/creative outlet website.

Do you listen to anything when you write? /moor: Constantly. :)  I have many different playlists. Some for specific chapters of a fic, some for a fic in its entirety. Most are in my Spotify! :)

Do you have any suggestions or other comments for moor? (can be about anything on this survey or otherwise)

i adore your works, wips, snippets and crumbs! i know life gets in the way quite often, so i hope you never feel too bad about not being able to update or anything! you and your health always comes first! Moor, you and a handful of other writers on Tumblr have kept me going. There were days where all I would look forward to were posts (not even fics/updates) and reblogs. Thank you for continuing to write :) Thank you so much for your time and work that put in your writing! There something i really look forward to and you are seriously talented and amazing! Just excited about the possible subscription to your works in Patreon :) hopefully Patreon and not Ko-Fi 😅 just because i already follow a few artists there. Easier for me to pay as a whole in 1 app. Haha! But this is just my take. If you'll be picking Ko-Fi, i would absolutely still subscribe to your account! 😊 Thank you for your time and effort. I hope this survey gives you good, positive, and filling comments. I appreciate and admire your efforts to connect with your audience and your willingness to receive feedback. You're awesome! Hope to keep supporting you in the future as best as I can. Thank you Moor for your writing 🔥🔥🔥and thank you for existing 💖 As stated above hahah I love your writing!

/moor: Thank you very, very much. <3 I’m sharing your comments above so other authors can read them, too, and are recognized and appreciated for how much their efforts mean. :) Some of you know that a few years ago I was fortunate enough to beat cancer, which took a toll on me. Most recently in the past year (actually, the last six months), the car accident, memory failure, medication complications and then the subsequent multiple heart attacks have also slowed me down, to the point where I'm now on Long Term Disability (LTD) from work, until we can sort out what's happening to my insides  (And no, I'm not "that" old, I'm 41). It's been a battle, and I know I repeat myself here, but I can't express enough how much it means to have my real life falling down at times and yet be able to see a kind comment or compliment on a fic. It reminds me yes I can still do something right even if I can't do everything I wish I could.

I'll keep the updates coming and I look forward to hearing what you think of them. <3

Thank you all so much for reading my fics, sharing your thoughts and opinions in the survey, and helping me help you find a little escape from the everyday through our stories. Keep the comments, advice and suggestions coming; they help me figure out how to make things better for all of us.

Stay safe and healthy out there!

[darcylightninglewis]

if you get this, answer w/ three random facts about yourself and send it to the last seven blogs in your notifs. anon or not, doesn’t matter, let’s get to know the person behind the blog! 💛

Okay, so I know it says send it to your last 7 notifs, so it's by chance but so legit kicked my feet seeing you in my inbox (I legit expected like, anon hate even tho I forgot I turned off anon 😂).

hmmmmm....facts about moi...

Peter, Paul & Mary were the first concert I ever went to, I was 6. I think it was at the 1993 Newport Folk Festival. I have a vivid memory of making my mom promise to wake me up for "puff the magic dragon" before falling asleep on her lap.

My first screenname (that I remember) was "myprinzeisheath"...for Freddie Prinze Jr. & Heath Ledger.

When I was little & mom would take me shopping with her, I'd strut around in any and all hats on display. Supposedly people would stop my mom to tell her how cute I was. We should wear more hats.
