Writer's Tag Game

Tagged by @strangethings-everywhere !! Thanks Anna!

Rules: Answer some or all of the questions below. Tag your fellow writers. Enjoy!

Link to your masterlist: I don't have a masterlist but here is my ao3! Not gonna bother linking my other ao3 account but if you ever want some BTS content just hmu and I got you lol.

Favorite and least favorite genres to write (angst/smut/fluff, etc): Favorite is for sure some hurt/comfort! Least favorite is any angst that doesn't have a happy ending, I just can't do it lol.

Favorite characters to write for? That's a hard question! I enjoy writing both Bobby and Don, it's hard to choose which I prefer lol; I've really been loving writing Bobby in The Cormorant though so maybe I'll say him. And Chuck Day! I looove writing Chuck, he was such a pleasant surprise when I wrote So Far So Good.

Which one of your works is your favorite? How am I supposed to pick one of my babies?? Lol. I mean, The Cormorant is so incredibly special and dear to me, I think that one will be my favorite for a long time even once it's finished. Out of my completed works, though, a kind of dark horse favorite is The Inherent Value of Warmth and Breath. I wrote that one soooo spontaneously but it turned out so well! I think it has a great balance of action and romance for just a little one shot.

Which one of your works is more popular than you thought it would be? It honestly still blows my mind that The Quiet Act of Loving Someone is the top kudos'ed fic in tbitb tag on ao3 (it just passed 200 kudos btw!! thanks for all the love! <3). Like I never thought something like that would happen with my fics.

Which one of your works is less popular than you thought it would be? So Far So Good my beloved!! I maybe went into it with too high expectations, because people had really loved Shy Boy, so I thought more people would be excited for a sequel. But alas, I guess Chuck/Roger isn't quite as popular. It still got some very nice love though, so I really can't complain!

Which one of your fics was hardest to write? Why? The Cormorant is definitely the hardest to write, but in a super rewarding way. There are just a lot of moving pieces (literally, with Bobby traveling lolol), and figuring out the timing of the month counting down, along with the balance of present day scenes, flashbacks, and dreams with Jack, it takes a lot of consideration for like, structure and organization. And then just thematically, it's very heavy and emotional to write. Which I love, it's so cathartic, but tbh sometimes I have to take breaks and think happy thoughts lol (such as post-fic fluff ideas for Bobby and Don hehe).

What is your favorite fanfic by someone else? Omg okay I'm limiting myself to three (and I'll try not to gush too much lol) but as Anna said there are so many amazing fics in our little fandom!! A huge favorite of mine is Someone Like You (I'm Ready) by teaforone ( @teaforarteza ) on ao3. This fic had me in an absolute chokehold and I still think about it to this day; the messy start, the stakes, the love confessions, the smut?? People died (me). It was also the first fic I read that emphasized Chuck and Bobby's friendship, which was eye opening. Next, I can't talk about fav fics without mentioning salix's (@seasidesandstarscapes )hockey au, Right in the Numbers!! Talk about messy lol, I was screaming at Don throughout this whole fic, and I fell in love with cam boy Bobby! Lastly, and most recently, I was so incredibly taken by effervescentyellow's (@effervescentyellow ) fic As Beautiful As You. It almost made me cry! There's just this overwhelming sense of warmth and acceptance and love, it feels like being wrapped in a cozy blanket and being told everything is going to be okay. It's so amazing.

Tags: umm I guess since I mentioned them above, I'll tag @effervescentyellow !

I actually like reading essays about Hakuno cause I enjoy seeing you gush about Hakuno! You can call me as mushy anon cause I send you stuff that makes you into a mush of feelings over Hakuno hehe~

mushy anon it is!! :D and I SCREAM??? BECAUSE-- i ramble like mad omg but i'm glad you like reading em!! i love getting your asks too so as always, THANK YOU !! ily 🥺❤ and sorry for taking forever to answer these HSKGJAH it has been Literal Months, but i'll definitely be responding much faster from now on!! it's a promise from this clown to mushy anon!!!  (also also if you have disc n you don't mind adding me there... hmu 👀) AND GOSH SAMEE i love reading peoples thoughts on hakuno lots because i feel like her character is just?? pretty damn complex!! there's a lot of ways to look at it and it's just -clenches fist- so very interesting! i wish i can put my thoughts on her into words bc there really So Much to it and i want people to know that!! not just her own character and growth, but also the dynamics between her and other characters.... the devoted person is included in that list too ofc!!! i'm So invested in hakuno and her dynamic with this devoted person so much now... you have No Idea. i DEMAND want an entire series about them and hakuno. and speaking of them, i'll be answering the rest of your asks under the cut >:^)

What if the person is so devoted to Hakuno is that once they die then their reincarnation will be drawn to another version of Hakuno in a different world which both of them feel each other are so familiar not knowing they're now reunited together again in better terms -mushy anon

CAN I JUST SAY---- they are soulmates!!! soulmates i tell ya!!!!! romantic or not (bc ahahaha i may or may not think that they'd be Neat as a couple 👉👈), i just think they'd have that incredibly strong bond that just ties their fates together; though even if fate tries to separate them, i feel like neither of them would let that happen either! this makes me so damn happy tho bc THIS IS THE HAPPY ENDING I WANT FOR THEM!!!! mush anon if you've watched angel beats, then there's this one moment from it 👀 (which involves a song being hummed and a hand reaching out---) that really reminds me of this.... and just like with that anime i s ob about hakuno and this devoted person so damn much!! i don't have many words but pls i'm so frikkin happy at the idea of them being able to peacefully live their lives together!!! them being able to

and ngl...... when i first read reincarnation, i throught of this one trope,,, which i am such a Sucker for and i bring up to you as well: immortal devoted person 😳 who keeps meeting hakuno's reincarnations 😳 and still loves her no matter how many times she forgets them 😳

I can definitely see the devoted person would be the type to be willingly stuck in a neverending loop constantly trying again and again to ensure that Hakuno will have a happy ending no matter what -mushy anon

smh mushy anon giving me happiness and soft only to rip my heart out like this?? ahjfhshd ok but L ISTEN i Love time loops. a lot. and i don't exactly know why, but lemme copy and paste this post right here to tell you why!! (also here's a quick note from lynn of the future, i was gonna link that specific post.... but sadly, i lost it T_T)

Time loop stories are like re-tellings of myths because both say: there is something inevitable & tragic that is going to happen, but we are going to find a space inside of that story for something new & all our own anyway. We are going to chose life and chose love even if it hurts us. I am going to love you even if you’ll forget me tomorrow. I am going to live as best I can even if I’m going to die tomorrow. We are going to keep telling stories because that is all we have and the best thing we can do.

"i'm going to love you even if you'll forget me tomorrow" IT'S LITERALLY THEM???? but also, with time loops you really just get two options: option a being a way for a happy ending but optipn b being.. something that's just prolonging the inevitable. as for option b... i can tell it's going to absolutely crush me :,)  spoilers for madoka magica AND IT LOWKEY REMINDS ME OF MADOKA AND HOMURA'S DYNAMIC TOO....... devoted person going through these loops again and again and the ending being hakuno recognizing how much they've gone through for her sake but also deciding to take matter into her own hands.... a bittersweet ending like the og extra ending is what they'd get, i feel like!! which rlly crushes me bc mush anonnnn, i want a happy ending for them so bad -CHOMPS MY PILLOW-

A song fitting for the devoted person and Hakuno: Carol by balloon0120 and avogado6 -mushy anon

mushy anon hOW DO YOU FIND THESE GEMS??? THE MV ITSELF IS ALREADY MAKING ME CRY SO HARD??? the vibes and just the tone of the song fits them so much and i honestly don't even know where to begin screeching--- the part where the boy and the girl especially hits So Hard for me when it comes to hakuno and this devoted person bc it's like-- they'll always be searching for each other no matter how long and will always find their way back to each other ;___; reminds me of your them meeting each other after reincarnation too!! and like i said, they are simply Soulmates. do not separate!!!! THE LAST ENDING SCENE IS SO SOO GOOD THOUGH!!! my mind's going crazy imagining hakuno and the devoted person in that exact scene and i'm going feral thinking abt what they'd say into the paper cup!!!

couldn't find proper english translations for the song so i just ran it thru google translate 😳 but AAAAAAAA I'M STILL GOING CRAZY BC IT REALLY IS THEM TO A T!! When I remember happiness / Every time you are next to me / How to laugh with your eyes closed / Please don't forget — this part absolutely Kills me btw. the whole song in general feels like the devoted person's pov from maybe hakuno's last moments before losing all her memories?? the mv gives ends it on a happier note which i reaaally want for them gotdang!! though the one thing i'd want is for that flower that the girl gets at the end of the mv to be a white rose instead bc i do associate white roses with my hakuno :^) but also because the meanings and symbolism of a white rose suit their bond so well too!! though i am curious on what the flower in the mv was (i'm not well versed in flower stuff GSJGHS) bc i feel like it'd honestly suit hakuno and the devoted person too <3 AND I'LL BE CRYING OVER IT AGAIN AS PER USUALLL
