20 Questions

20 Questions for Fic Writers

I came across this in @andordean blog and decided to invite myself to the party. As I have two Ao3 Accounts, my answers will list them as needed.

Taggig @do-androids-dream-ao3acc @regis-favorite-raven @lohrendrell @tumbleweedtech

How many works do you have on A03?

Valandhir: 11

Cardhwion: 40

What's your total A03 word count?

Valandhir: 1,249,377

Cardhwion: 644,842

What fandoms do you write for?

The Witcher, and Lord of the Rings. I would love to write for Star Wars, Dragon Age, Wheel of Time, but haven't gotten around to doing it yet. General Bel Riose brought the idea of Foundation writing on my to-do list.

What are your top five fics by kudos?

Valandhir: Durin's Bane, The Twilight years, The heart of the journey

Cardhwion: Strange Blood, In my father's house

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I try to, because I enjoy the conversation. But sometimes I forget, because there is too much going on, or I have no idea what I should reply.

What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Valandhir: Wishes are no horses or maybe Durin's Bane, the latter does only half-count because the next part, the Twilight Years changes something about the death at the end of Durin's Bane.

Cardhwion: In the darkest places, or maybe In my father's house. I just realise, I killed Eskel a lot.

What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Valandhir: The Heart of the Journey

Cardhwion: Song of the Dragon

Do you get hate on fics?

Yes.

Do you write smut?

Sometimes, I need characters that have that dynamic and need to be in the mood.

Do you write crossovers?

Haven't yet, but do have some in mind.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not to my knowledge.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

As English is my second language, I did translate the whole Raven's Blade series on my Valandhir account into German myself. But only posted two parts. Would need a beta to read over it, to ever post it full.

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yes, with @do-androids-dream-ao3acc, titled "The Unforgiven"

What's your all-time favourite ship?

That's a hard one, I love so many ships, and am a passionate multi-shipper. So a real favourite is hard. Coën/Erland of Larvik comes close.

As far as the sheer hilarity is concerned nothing ever beat Henselt/His throne.

What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Song of Stone on the Valandhir Account

What are your writing strengths?

Description and Detail I think

What are your writing weaknesses?

Emotions, romantic feeling

Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

Full dialogue I use rarely but having some arrogantly spit a line in Latin, or use a spell in Gaelic is fun.

First fandom you wrote for?

Three Musketeers

Favourite fic you've ever written?

The Raven's Blade series

Dragon Ball Gekishin Squadra Is the MOBA We Didn't Know We Needed

Dragon Ball + Team Battles = Gekishin Squadra. Let's Talk About It. Okay, real talk—if someone told me a year ago that Dragon Ball would launch a 4v4 MOBA-style game, I’d have laughed mid–Kamehameha. But here we are in 2025, and Bandai Namco just did exactly that with their newly announced game: Dragon Ball: Gekishin Squadra. And gamers? This one looks like it might actually slap.  What Is Gekishin Squadra? In a nutshell: it’s a free-to-play, cross-platform online action game where you team up in 4v4 battles using iconic Dragon Ball characters—or entirely new custom avatars. Think of it as Overwatch meets Dragon Ball Z, but with a little more "Spirit Bomb" and a lot more hair spikes. The Squad System: Roles Matter Gekishin Squadra isn’t just chaos for chaos’ sake (though it is wild). Every squad has roles: Damage Dealers: Your Gokus and Vegetas—bursting power and raw destruction. Tanks: Characters who can take a punch from Broly and still taunt you afterward. Technicians: These are your wildcard units—support, traps, utility—basically the Krillins and Android 18s of the squad.

You’ll need real teamwork to win—no lone wolves here. Customization FTW This ain’t just about fighting. You get to flex your version of a Z Warrior with tons of cosmetic customization: outfits, animations, ultimate intros, and maybe (just maybe) meme-tier taunts. It's your squad, your style. The Hype Is Real: Open Network Test Incoming Here’s the best part—you don’t even have to wait long to try it out. The open beta runs June 11–15 on PS5, PS4, Switch, Steam, and even mobile (yep, iOS and Android are in the mix). So yeah, whether you're couch gaming or rage-queuing on the go, you're covered. Want to be part of the first wave? Head over to the official site and register. (And maybe brush up on your teamwork… we’ve seen how y’all play in ranked matches.) TL;DR Dragon Ball: Gekishin Squadra is shaping up to be the most chaotic, beautiful, energy-blasting multiplayer experience the franchise has seen. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or just looking for the next cool free-to-play game to grind with friends—this is one to watch. So, are you joining the squad? Or are you gonna sit this one out while the rest of us go Ultra Instinct? Read the full article

In our previous blog, we discussed ACCA DipIFR exam utility interface & answer writing tips which will help students to get comfortable with CBE interface and to be familiar with the examination pattern and face it with confidence.

This blog is especially for the students who chose Remote examination session i.e., who would appear from home or office instead of centre-based examination.

Top 7 Android 11 Features And How To Download It! 

All Kinds Of Phone  For All Kinds Of Folks  

Android 11 has officially arrived, bringing with it a host of exciting new features that smartphone users have eagerly been waiting for—and for good reason! 

Since its initial release, Android has undergone numerous graphical and functional upgrades. With mobile usage skyrocketing to over 6.648 billion users in the past two years—and still growing—there’s an ever-increasing demand for more advanced features and updates in Android apps. This surge presents immense opportunities in the field of Android mobile app development. 

As an open-source mobile operating system built on Linux and developed by Google, Android has gained massive popularity. Its flexible mobile application architecture allows developers and device manufacturers to customize the platform to suit their specific needs, making it a preferred choice worldwide. 

Now, with the release of Android 11, Google has introduced a fresh wave of features designed to enhance user experience and provide more control. So, without further delay, let’s explore the most exciting features and top reasons why upgrading to Android 11 is a smart move! 

Android 11 Features: Know The New In The Roll Out 

After months of multiple beta releases, the top features of Android 11 are finally making their way onto devices—proving this update to be well worth the wait.As expected, the newest version of Google’s mobile operating system comes packed with a variety of standout features. From message bubbles and revamped notifications to a new power menu with smart home controls, Android 11 introduces several enhancements. Users can also enjoy a revamped media playback widget, resizable picture-in-picture mode, built-in screen recording, improved work profiles, and more—all delivered through a seamless over-the-air update. 

The Finest Top 7 Android 11 Features 

Built-In Screen Recorder 

With the new features introduced in Android 11, there's no longer a need for third-party apps to record your screen—screen recording is now built directly into the operating system. This makes it incredibly simple to record calls, videos, or any on-screen activity.To use it, you may need to manually add the screen recorder to your Quick Settings menu by editing and dragging it into place. Once activated, the built-in screen recorder allows you to capture content on your device, including audio from your microphone, internal device audio, or both. You can also enable the 'show touches' feature to display indicators where you tap on the screen. While recording, a red dot appears in the status bar to indicate it's in progress, and you can stop it anytime. 

Separate Message Notifications 

One of the standout features of Android 11 is the new way conversations are prioritized in notifications. Previously, it was easy to miss important messages buried among general alerts. Now, Android 11 separates your conversations into a dedicated section at the top of the notification shade.Messages from SMS, chat apps like WhatsApp, and DMs from social media now appear more prominently. You can also mark specific conversations as “priority,” ensuring their notifications come through even when others are muted—simply long-press on a notification and choose the Priority option. This makes it much easier to manage and respond to important messages. 

Chat Bubbles for Conversations 

The "Bubbles" feature in Android 11 redefines how you interact with messaging apps. Inspired by Facebook Messenger’s Chat Heads, this feature brings floating chat icons to any messaging app that supports it.When a bubble is tapped, the conversation opens in a small window overlay, allowing you to reply without leaving your current task. You can easily collapse the bubble again or choose which apps you want to enable bubbles for—making multitasking with messages more seamless and convenient. 

Smart Home Controls 

Android 11 brings smart home management right to your fingertips. By long-pressing the power button, you now get access to a redesigned menu with controls for all your connected smart home devices—lights, thermostats, locks, and more.This integration makes it easier to manage all your smart gadgets from one place, eliminating the need to open individual apps. It's a thoughtful feature for those with a smart home setup, simplifying control with just a single press. 

Enhanced Privacy with Permissions 

Privacy takes a leap forward in Android 11 with improved permission controls. You can now grant apps one-time access to sensitive features like your microphone, camera, or location.By selecting the “Only This Time” option, an app can use a specific permission just for that session. Once the app is closed, the permission is automatically revoked. This added layer of privacy, powered by Android’s advanced AI and machine learning, helps keep your personal data more secure. 

Functional Power Button Menu 

Android 11 makes the power button more useful than ever. Pressing and holding it now reveals an extended control panel that includes access to Google Wallet, smart home controls, emergency contacts (like dialing 911), and options to power off or restart your device. It’s a streamlined hub for key functions all in one place. 

Notification History Feature 

Accidentally cleared a notification and can’t remember what it was? Android 11 has you covered with its Notification History feature. Located in the settings menu, it lets you view all notifications you've dismissed over the past 24 hours—perfect for retrieving missed information. 

What Are The New Features Of Android 11? 

Some of the standout features of Android 11 include distinct chat notifications, floating chat bubbles, redesigned smart home and media controls, enhanced security and privacy settings, refined work profiles, smarter predictive tools, a built-in screen recorder, better control over conversation alerts, customizable dark theme options, voice access improvements, and much more. 

How To Use Android 11 Features? 

With Android 11's pin conversation feature, you can keep important chats easily accessible by having them stay on top of other apps and screens. Additionally, the Bubbles feature allows conversations to stay active while you focus on other tasks. You can effortlessly jump in and out of chats from anywhere on your device—letting you stay connected without interrupting what you love doing. 

Does Android Have A Built-in Screen Recorder? 

Absolutely! Android 11 comes with a built-in screen recorder that allows you to capture everything happening on your screen—perfect for tech support, troubleshooting, or sharing walkthroughs. Since it’s natively integrated into the system, there’s no need to download any third-party apps to record your screen. 

Wrapping Up 

Android is undoubtedly dominating the tech world. Statistics show that it holds a massive 85% share of the global mobile operating system market. With the surge in Android device launches by various tech consulting firms, native mobile app development has become increasingly popular. Among the highlights, Android 11 introduces smarter and more convenient ways to manage connected devices, privacy settings, conversations, and more. One of the most notable upgrades over Android 10 is the introduction of a dedicated space solely for managing conversations, making communication smoother and more organized. 

Additionally, the latest Android app features bring enhanced privacy measures along with several subtle yet impactful improvements that simplify everyday tasks. In short, the essence of Android 11's updates can be captured in one phrase – "maximum efficiency with minimal effort."

It is not activated by default. Local encryption is therefore optional. This implies that in the event of a data breach, your passwords are kept on Google’s servers and may be accessible.

No master password

Google Password Manager does not necessitate a separate master password, in contrast to certain specialized password managers. This implies that your saved passwords are directly accessible to anyone who manages to access your Google account.
