[id: a colored, digital drawing of sam manson from danny phantom. she wears a cropped t-shirt and a plaid skirt, with a simple choker and tights. she casts a flashlight through fog in front of her, clutching their other hand to their chest protectively. she looks out in a mix of awe and shock. a slight breeze pulls at their hair and clothing. end id]

this drawing is initially from my dannymay 2021 concepts, but i didnt have the skill to do what i had in mind. i figured it was about time to give it another shot!

20 Qs for Fic Writers

Thanks for the tag, @summerssixecho!

1. How many works do you have on Ao3?

Thirty-six as of now! Most of them are still from events (I put all the filled prompts in one work per event, don’t @ me), but when I really like one of these I post it as a stand-alone :) and I have a few fics outside events too! Woo!

2. What's your total Ao3 word count?

132,746 as of right now, but I’ll still finish Ectober so that’ll change quickly. (and as I said before, some fics I post "twice", in the event's work, and as a stand-alone)

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Danny Phantom almost exclusively, the exception are the CrossOvers :p

I love The Sandman and Supernatural ones. I’m into DPxDC as well.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Seven Ways to Summon the Ghost King (1,187 kudos): Seven different ways in which a tired, stressed and sleep-deprived King of Ghosts can be summoned!

Results may vary.

Holiday Gift 2022 (439 kudos): ALL ghosts need to honour the truce. Including those who don't know they're considered part ghost.

Poison Blood and Weighted Crowns (408 kudos): The Justice League asked for help to the Ghost King.

The King demanded Jason Todd in exchange.

Jokingly, Robin accepted.

King Plasmius had the deal be honoured.

Ectober Week 2021 (365 kudos)

DannyMay 2021 (243 kudos)

5. Do you respond to comments?

YUP. Sometimes I forget and only see it years later tho. But I do like answering comments so I try my best! If I don’t answer is ‘cause I can’t think of anything else to say but I still try! (I don’t really answer in FFN anymore tho, because I forget if I’ve already answered and I don’t remember how to check that, and I don’t want to accidentally answer twice lmao)

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

Uhh… not a big fan of angst, and even though I tried my hand at it in the past don’t remember where I put it anymore

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

Dragon :') Danny gets dental! (lol ok, I can’t really tell, idk)

8. Do you get hate on fics?

My fics ain’t popular enough to get hate I believe lol.

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

LOL. I WROTE LEMON ONCE. YEARS AND YEARS AGO (almost ten year now. I was fourteen). After that, I haven’t, but I have an idea for a fic and if I actually get to write it I know it would be explicit.

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

asdfghjjklñ I fucking love CrossOvers so much. I’ve written some "niche" ones but I believe the craziest/crackiest was Doors :))

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

None that I know of. (Again, not popular enough lol)

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

Other than ramble with the discord buddies, nope I haven’t.

13. What's your all-time favourite ship?

None tbh, I do like some ships but I’m aro and I don’t really have an OTP.

14. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Not much in the way of WIPs but I do have several plot bunnies I entertain before discarding.

On DPxDC I had a demon twin AU where Damian killed Danny as a kid with pressure from Ra’s al Ghul, and they met again after many years, with Damian as Robin and Danny as the Ghost King… and Danny didn’t forgive Damian. I had a lot planned and wanted to include a lot of worldbuilding, but ultimately I decided I couldn’t give Damian’s character justice as I was projecting heavily on my broken relationship with my abusive brother, and Damian deserved better than to be compared to my brother.

Also DPxDC, the aforementioned explicit work, which would be Danny/Valerie/Jason, with them dealing with being ecto-entities with the ecto-acts in place, Danny dealing with being King and trying to be an astronaut, Valerie coping with her feelings on her nature and her Wayne scholarship, and Jason being a crime lord with a family of vigilantes, and their broken yet existing relationships. As they navigated the complex ensuing dynamics, they dismantled the GIW and took down the Ecto-Acts.

I would also like to do more for Dragon, but I really don’t feel like it rn

16. What are your writing strengths?

Instrospection and mindscapes, if I can say so.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Anything that isn’t introspection and mindscapes.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Naruto :)

20. Favourite fic you've written?

aughdabdsufsda, I don’t really know, I love several of them for different reasons, but maybe Father and Sons? I love Clockwork and I love my Sandman crossovers, so I liked mixing both.

I’m not tagging anyone, but I encourage anyone to try! It was really fun!

[ Dannymay 2021 doodle dump ]

So yeah, I actually made like... a lot of sketches for dannymay 2021 prompts, before I went off on the kitsune au rabbit hole that year kajsndakjsdn

I was planning to reuse some of these sketches again since some of em looks really fun but uh... that didn't happen so lmao

I think the first one was for the stars prompt and kinda based on the idea of Danny moving into Clockwork's place and they decorating his rooms with star stickers ....I swear it was based of someone's fic but I can't remember whose

Midnight prompt was RET AU Vlad, where he is actually decent and trying to help figure out how to get Danny un...connected? with the ghost? before realizing he might've bitten more than he can chew.

I don't have much for the illusions prompt, it was just continuing from ectober 2020's drawing. Tho I do end up using the prompt for kitsune au animatic so it worked out lol

Nature is RET AU Danny taking care of plants bc uwu

I don't remember the prompt for this one but maybe it was freedom? Danny's the king but he's more like a caged bird than a free one

This and the next one are ideas for scars prompts. Danny with lots of scars and human au Clockwork n Danny have their own scars on their face. I just think the compositions actually look nice so I'm keeping em

Shadow prompt was actually someone flashing a light or taking a picture of Danny with a flash and his shadow reflects green eyes instead of Danny himself would be a fun twist :3c

Summary: Everyone has wings, ghosts included. A ghost's wings are connected directly to their core, and can tell you a lot about the ghost. Pariah isn't very happy with how Clockwork has been treating their own wings.

Written for DannyMay Day 19, Wings!

In 2021 I brought back angst week, a 5 day angst creation event held the first week of August. I was planning on doing this again in 2022, but with the amount of events hosted last year, I decided to cancel it. Around the same time, several people expressed to me that they would like to see an old fic recommendation event.

Now in 2023, I am debating these two events. Should I host an angst week, a fic recommendation week in place of the angst week, or both?

Additionally on this poll, I have a question about "prompt events" and then just events in general. So even if you do not care about angst week vs fic rec week, I'd love to hear your thoughts about current dp events!

I've been trying to think of ways to shake up traditional dp prompt events for ages while still being respectful to the medium, which is why we had thinks like "AU Monday" for Dannymay and the "2 sentence horror stories" for Ectober last year. But I'd honestly love some feedback and ideas if you have any!

The Justice League is very meddlesome.

Second Most Kudos: Bad Luck Tuck: The Sequel at 680 kudos! Also a fic I wrote in Dannymay 2021, and a follow-up fic to How to Take Out a Ghost!

The Justice League is very meddlesome... 2! Now with gay people!

Third Most Comments: a solution like clock repair at 28 comments! A fic I wrote recently for Phic Phight 2023 and absolutely adored writing, probably my favourite fic on this list so far :D It was also inspired by jackdaw's marvelous fic The Horologist's Paradox!

Fourth most bookmarks: Welcome to Lake Eerie! at 68 public and private bookmarks! This was my very first Invisobang fic, written when I was still getting used to the fandom, and was the first time I ever wrote UFS (Danny/Wes). It holds a very special place in my heart <3

ZombieRed//Redead-Red Fanfic Review 2022

Despite writing a little less than last year, I am really proud of my writing and how it improved this year.

Fic Count: 5 Drabble Count: 7 Overall Word Count: 92,001 Fandoms: Danny Phantom, Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Naked Truth Lies Fandom: Danny Phantom Pairing: Unidentified Flying Ship (Danny/Wes) Rating: T 2022 Word Count: 5273 Total Word Count: 12,708 Completion Date: Jan 8, 2022 Notes: I finished this Dannymay fic before the 2022 Dannymay, so I call that a victory lmao. I love how the final chapter went!! It was a lot of fun to play with Wes's emotions, and definitely opened a lot in regards to how I wrote him in my other fics this year. Plus, this fic is "technically" a prequel to When You Were Young.

Blue Pen, White Letter Fandom: Danny Phantom Pairing: Unidentified Flying Ship (Danny/Wes) Rating: T Word Count: 1302 Completion Date: Feb 15, 2022 Notes: I finished this basically in like, less than 3 hours because I was like "oh shit, it's Valentine's Day! Better write something about the boys for it!"

When You Were Young Fandom: Danny Phantom Pairing: Unidentified Flying Ship (Danny/Wes) Rating: T Word Count: 33,448 Completion Date: Jun 25, 2022 Notes: I had first started thinking up this fic in June of 2021, so it was so exciting to finally start writing it! It's a bit of a love letter to 2005. Blockbuster, flip phones, baggy pants worn under your ass, coming to grips with your sexuality, and time travel. You know, the typical mid-2000s experience. Plus this fic got me to really fall in love with writing Kyle....

Memories of Tomorrow Fandom: Danny Phantom Gen fic Rating: T Word Count: 43,720 Completion Date: Sept 2, 2022 Notes: My Invisobang fic for this year! It was very cathartic to write this fic. I really projected my less-than-stellar high school experience onto Jazz (sorry Jazz!) and had a lot of fun exploring what it's like to experience high school again as an adult, while also trying to return to the future and not fuck everything up. It was also my first venture into writing more horror/suspense which was a lot of fun. This fic is definitely what I would say is my most overlooked fic of this year, which is disappointing in a way, because I really enjoyed it. Plus I discovered that writing a Jazz and Kyle friendship is super fun.

Nail Polish Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Pairing: Spuffy (Buffy/Spike) Rating: T Word Count: 7558 Completion Date: Dec 7, 2022 Notes: I had this idea in my head for a while and finally went "fuck it" and oh boy am I glad that I did. Writing Spike interact with the Summers women over seasons 4-7 was such a treat. You can really see how the characters grow over the show. Plus anything with Spike and Joyce is always a personal favourite.

Turn Away, Another Way - [drabble compilation] Fandom: Danny Phantom Some Gen, Some UFS (Danny/Wes) Rating: G-T Word Count: 700 Notes: I opened up a few writing prompts on Tumblr for writing drabbles and had a lot of fun with them! They did pretty well on Tumblr here, so its nice to put them together into a collection.

And there we are! 2022 was a pretty fun year for me, definitely pretty UFS heavy. But hey! When you're in rare-pair hell, the best way to drag people into it with you is to create content for it lmao

More redesigns! More redesigns! This time it's the whole Fenton family! As always, my notes will be under the cut. I really appreciate everyone's support and feedback about this series. I plan to work on Vlad next. I think I'm the most excited for his since it also has to do with my unnamed au that I shared a while ago, but haven't done anything for yet. Until now that is >:).

I decided to update my Danny Phantom redesign. Now it's even LESS animation friendly. Not that I was going for an animation friendly design to begin really I just think it's funny how with every new iteration of Danny I draw there's always one or two more things added.

I'm really proud of how these turned out and I think he actually looks 14 for once. I think before I was kinda close, but he looked more 16 or 17 to me. I'll go more into my design choices under the cut so this post isn't a mile long.

Haven't drawn Danny since January yikes! I've been having the urge to rewatch the series again so I felt compelled to draw this. And it's Dannymay! This isn't for any particular prompt (I was too lazy to find the prompt list), but I wanted to get SOMETHING out. So here's the boy! Idk if the lighting and shading make sense but it looks cool so I'm calling it good.

fic rec! All of StrawberryCamel's 2021 DannyMay stories. 44K total.

Summary: One-shot collection, as these are.

Comments: What grabbed my attention straight from the start was the subseries in here, "Not You Son", about where Vlad convinced Danny that Vlad was his father. It kicks off the collection, beginning with Danny and Jack breaking the spell and continues with the fallout which is heartbreaking because Vlad had actually been a good dad.

Summary: Adjusting to life as a fox spirit isn't easy, but Danny's getting the hang of it. Now if only the closest thing he has to a mentor would actually answer his questions, instead of sending him out to do tasks with no explanation.

Written for DannyMay Day 15, Nature! (and also @13thcat's kitsune au :3)

Well, I'm finally entering the DannyMay ring! And what better day than this for something I'm finally ready to share!

This is a mini fic that I've been working on for quite some time now (but I've been nervous posting it due to it being the first fic I've shipped Danny and Nyreena together in a long, long time. (Please don't throw me to the flames 😅))

I hope you all like it! Enjoy!

Here's the outfit designs for Chapter 4:

"Come one, come all! Come see the daring tight rope dancer Despera as she pirouettes with such grace and flair! But how can she have such balance on the rope as she dances, knowing there is no net below to catch her if she happens to fall?....."

You know, it's about time I did this sort of concept where Nyreena had been swept up in Freakshow's power and his latest controlled performer. And what better way then to use it for today's Chaos prompt? XD

And finally dress her as ballerina, something that seriously needed to be done for quite a while XD

I hope you all like it and I'll see you next time!

FIRST POST OF 2022!!!! LET'S GOOOO!!!!

Oh man, I am so, so, so, so happy at how this turned out!!! It has been a long time since I worked on this so I definitely had to make it a goal of this year to get it done as one of the first projects of the year. And to get it done in just two separate days of working on it I'm very proud that it came out better than I expected.

I really hope you all enjoy it and I'll see you next time!!!

Alright, first Transformers post of 2022!

And what other post would it be but a Cops and Mobs AU post? XD

Well, what's this? The two of them going out for a glamorous night out on the town? What could have possibly prompted this? Maybe a future fanfic may shed some details 😉

~~~~~~~~~~~~

This one has been sitting, desperately waiting to be finished, and I just kept ignoring it. (I feel so bad for neglecting it 😖)

But, this year, I vowed that I was going to finished the projects that I haven't finished and get them out to the world!

@pastelpaperplanes I hope this brightens your day and makes it awesome! Keep rocking as always!!
