Ever in your favor

This is an absolute everthorne classic, painful slowburn and one of my (mod hawtnip aka Ellenka) all time faves. The author never transferred it over to ao3 & i got this sudden urge to post the old ffn link here - for the future generation, I guess. The usual canon-related warnings apply and the start is very rough, but so worth it in the end.

Here’s to - almost - the 12th anniversary of it being finished.

“Author self-interview”

I got tagged by the wonderful @hawtnip to do this! Thank you! And I was tagged quite a while ago, but it got lost in my drafts. Welp, here we are. :)

Name: Sorry, I don’t give it out online, but I will say it is not actually Brigitta. Brigitta is just very close to me spiritually.

Fandoms: Strap in, my squirrel focus makes me jump around. The main ones are Marvel, Star Wars Original Trilogy, The Hunger Games, and Harry Potter. Those I write/have written for. But it goes without saying that I love musicals, and I also fangirl for classic lit, too.

Most Popular Multi-Chapter Fic: I...have not really written a proper multi-chap. I have written one chapter in a fic I wanted to be a multi-chap. But I can’t seem to focus well enough to make it happen.

Favorite Story I’ve Written: I think that’s got to be Falcon’s Phantom. It was my first time doing a prompt/fandom event, and people were really nice! Plus, I got to write something really cute about my 1st ever OTP, Han/Leia.

Story I Was Most Nervous to Publish: Look, I’m nervous about a lot of what I write. I’m not giving anyone ammunition to target fics I’m more nervous about.

How do you choose titles? I don’t know? Sometimes they come to me. Sometimes they’re song lyrics or a phrase used in the fic. Sometimes I really need to hunt around for them.

Do you outline? I generally have an idea of where I want the story to go. Sometimes I outline it if I have specific ideas. More often I have bits of dialogue/scenes that get knitted together eventually.

Do you take prompts? Sure. I haven’t done anything prompt-related except for choosing a prompt from a list myself, but I’d be up for a request/prompt.

Upcoming stories you’re most excited to write? Oooh, that’s a hard one. Stories I wish I’ll write? Million-chapter epics, mostly about my favorite gals, Katniss Everdeen, Wanda Maximoff, Leia Organa, and Nymphadora Tonks. (I’ve got a character type, if you couldn’t tell.) Stories I might actually write soon? A couple of fluffy one-shots, mostly kidfics.

Most excited to read? I can’t think of a specific story, but I’m always jonesing for fluffy family fics and some of my smaller/less active ships--Everthorne, Remadora, HS/LO.

‘author’ self interview

Tagged by @hawtnip 😎🥳

name: Kaytlyn. Katy or Kayty as a nickname. caandleknight as my handle on FF.N and Ao3

Fandoms: OOF. Professional at shipping the crash and burns 🤚.

- LoK, Makorra was the one that got me into fandom.

-tHG everthorne has my heart. Still hits different.

-T100 Bellarke was my obsession last year.

Lastly: clintasha (comics not really mcu), Riley/Ellie tlou. Royai from Fullmetal Alchemist, and Nalu from fairy tail.

Where do you post:

FanFiction.Net this is where I started. Posted my first everthorne on there. It was anxiety inducing.

Ao3 I bullied myself into figuring this site out lmaoo. Took some trial (learned through an email that RPF means real person fiction. I WAS NOT WRITING REAL PERSON FICTION SO WHOOPS. nearly half my stuff was taken down LOL.)

Most popular multi chapter fic: Soul of a ghost town this was the biggest thing I ever wrote—in terms of character, plot, and word count—and honestly, it gave me the confidence to believe I could write. Word counts used to haunt me. All it used to.

Favourite story you’ve written so far: Oh that’s hard.

Stories in limbo was my first attempt at multiple perspectives. A gen fic mostly but I love the motifs and flow.

Previously mentioned SoaGT^^ was my pride and joy for also previously mentioned reasons. I watched that story like a hawk, just waiting for feedback.

Panem sumebant: The ending. It came to me months after its original completion, and now, it’s so much better with the last chapter.

Idk if I’m allowed to pick more than one, but I’m proud of each of these for different reasons so-

So many times when I’m writing it starts so small… then grows and grows and doesn’t stop. SoaGT was like this—a five times this, one time that.

I have a 50k everthorne fic on the go rn that started out as a 500 word prompt. Wtf send help.

Fic you were nervous to post: My very first one, panem sumebant. The feedback I got from about three users is probably why I’m still writing. Thank you.

How do you choose your titles: often, i struggle so much with this. If I can’t find anything, look for metaphors or phrases/quotes/moments that really stick. A lyric. Maybe a language translation. I’ve never had a title drag me in. It’s almost always a struggle, and sometimes, much later, I hate said title 😭 but that’s okay. Helps me learn.

Do you outline: HA.

Quite amazing how organized I am. (These are digestible ones. The bigger they get the worse.)

Complete: often, I finish things before I post the. I’ve been that way from the start. All my Bellarke is complete (two are discontinued) All my Everthorne is complete… until suddenly I decide to add another chapter XD. Lonely Crowds, my Kanej, has the last chapter on the go but it will be finished. Idk my track record is pretty good I think.

Do you accept prompts: I’ve never been prompted, but lots I’ve made comes from discussion or picking my own prompts so I guess so.

Upcoming story you’re most excited to write: my OG work. Excited to finish lonely crowds, and I’m trying to finish these edits on everthorne but it’s kicking my ass.

stories you’re most excited to read: …everthorne. Young Royai😍 … Makorra… and the grishaverse fandom is just revving the engines so I’m really excited to watch this fandom grow. I’ve always been the person to walk into fandom after the explosions are simmering and the ship wars have devastated the masses so this will be fun.

Tagging: @rayhnetessamess , @theworldisbeautifulandcruel idkkkk too many writers 🥺🥺

Thanks Ellenka this took me forever but it was fun ❤️❤️

Tagged by @pepperf! Thanking you :)

rules: tag nine people you want to know better

three ships: Declan/Jordan, Reylo.... and I don’t have a third rn help me

last song: Peter Piper by Run DMC

last movie: Capital in the 21st Century on Netflix because I am a nerrrrrrd (seriously it is very good)

currently reading: Mister Impossible by Maggie Stiefvater, the second Dreamer Trilogy book, which I am realllly enjoying and trying not to devour whole. Not currently reading but I just finished Populista! by Will Grant which was fascinating, all about the pink tide in Latin America, but it had a lot of pages okay and I want the record to reflect that I have read it. Also I recommend Empireland by Satnam Sanghera for UK readers in particular because it is Important and also crazy lucid.

currently watching: Catastrophe.

currently consuming: Let’s pretend this question is about podcasts and Instagram. The Bunker/Oh God What Now podcasts, the Britney Spears podcast on BBC Sounds. Vegan food porn on instagram that I will almost certainly never make.

currently craving: Greek Salad. It’s September, just fucking humour me.

low-key, no-pressure tagging: this really stresses me out bc I haven’t been here for months and I don’t know who has left or who has changed their name/avatar/identity and may as well be invisible, so here are a couple of people who I either haven’t heard from in a while and would like to, or who I see regularly enough on my dash that I recognise:

author self-interview

tagged by endlessnightlock :) thank you!!

name: we’ll still say Gabbie, even though that’s very much an alias leftover from being a minor online. I also go by MarbleSharp.

fandoms: THG is the only one I’m active in lately but this blog reflects my other, more passive fandom interests lol

where do you post: Archive of Our Own and Fanfiction.net. and then I advertise/preview things here on tumblr. 

most popular multi-chapter fic: Somthing of Our Own, or SOO, a WIP about Haymitch and Hazelle Hawthorne with peripheral Everlark, reconstruction, and other fun post-MJ things. 

favorite story you’ve written so far: gosh, Idk. I think I like SOO best because it’s my most recent writing and it’s my attempt at a mature slow-burn between two middle-aged people with shared history and a good deal of baggage but a good deal of hope, too. it’s just flat-out compelling to me and I care about it a lot which makes it more than a little painstaking to write, haha

fic you were nervous to post: my very first one, To Have and To Hold, back in 2011 when I was in the eighth grade(!). but it’s a nice, little, bittersweet AU about Haymitch’s girl, had she and his family survived.

how do you choose your titles: agonizingly. 

do you outline: for multi-chapter stories, I do. but they’re loose outlines where I leave room to let things happen ~ organically ~ in between major plot points. I tend to be very character-driven.

complete: 

Best of Luck, Mockingjay - for a horror prompt, featuring Jackson toward the brutal end of the Squad 451.

bronze legacy - a prompt about Finnick & Annie’s son that sort of explores the genetic/societal onus of carrying a late parent’s legacy. there’s a happy ending though!

The Callers from the Coffin - my first multi-chapter story, where I used Markus Zusak’s narrator Death from The Book Thief to narrate parts of Haymitch’s life that either Haymitch remembers on his deathbed or Death witnessed itself. it’s not really a crossover but I labeled it as such because there are general spoilers for TBT. it was fun to write and the reception was pretty good, though much of the character backstory within is no longer my headcanon lol

cinderella man - a short and sweet multi-chapter story where I use the Cinderella fairy tale to tell Peeta’s side of the Everlark story (or one interpretation of it, anyway).

eat your heart out - about Titus, the cannibal tribute.

Gym Class - an Everlark oneshot where Katniss accidentally (but also not) hits Peeta in the face with a dodgeball, or the origin story of Peeta’s ‘not a piece in their games’ philosophy.

let the memories be good for those who stay - my one (1) story for another fandom. it’s an AU of The Book Thief where the main character Liesel dies and her love interest Rudy lives instead. I’ve gotten many an upset comment about it, which I accept warmly. :)

A New Way to Breathe - a prompt (for shesasurvivor actually!) about Johanna and Haymitch after the war, though in this story the war doesn’t end... well... for some beloved characters. imo, this fic is best read listening to “Alone Together” by Fallout Boy on repeat. 

stronger than her story (once she’s lost the plot) - Enobaria vs. Johanna through the years. and it’s very much vs., not / or &

To Have and To Hold

in progress: 

so this is your maverick - this AU where Thresh and Rue win can be considered finished but I’d love to come back to it and do a second, final part from Rue’s perspective. only trouble is, I’ve read several great fics with this same AU that cover them going through the rebellion together and so I don’t really know what I have to add to it. we’ll see (as if it hasn’t been 8 years lmao)

Something of Our Own 

coming soon:

a month ago, I would’ve said stronger than her story (once she’s lost the plot), a near decade-long WIP lol 

but for right now, I’m just working on SOO. *shrugs*

do you accept prompts: sure, though I tend to be a slow writer and I might have to sit on it for a while before posting it. it’d probably be a drabble, too.

upcoming story you’re most excited to write: the rest of SOO? I feel like a broken record :P 

story/stories you’re most excited to read: the stories or authors I’m subscribed to, of which there are too many to list here. I also love to check out my mutuals’ recommendations or their own work!

hawtnip replied to your post “ok so i finished uprooted & i’m sorry this is all complaining abt...”

hi i'm sorry this is a ridiculously late reply & probably off topic now, but i finished the book only recently and just browsed through your 'uprooted' tag, and i have this mighty need to yell MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY thanks for putting it in words!!! both for the post and the tags

no worries i always love talking to people about books!! it has been a while since i read it lol and i do feel... warmer(?) toward sarkan and nieshka/sarkan now, probably because i have like, a fanon version of them in my head that i’m into (as well as the fun ot3 dynamics that we could’ve had but didn’t), but i’m glad to hear that i’m not alone lol since the impression that i have is that people liked this book a lot more than i did
