Haihai little ask, which character did you enjoy most writing, who do you relate to most, and who did you find hardest to write? It could include current wips as welll (mallory and mount cos im rlyy curious abt these boys)

Ps Underline is awesome!

I'm so glad you're enjoying Underline the Black!

Tbh I don't have one fixed answer to your question because it changes all the time! The character I enjoy writing the most is usually the one I'm writing right now, so it's definitely Efnisien. (Because like, if I stopped enjoying them the most I'd just write another character! So it used to be Gwyn, but it isn't anymore).

In terms of the hardest character, it's usually the characters I'm not writing the perspectives of, like Ash for example. I haven't written much from Mallory's perspective yet so I don't know much about him! And nothing from Lewis Mount's so I don't know much about him either.

The character's of mine that are hardest that I've written probably include Eran Iliakambar, and early on, Augus until I got the hang of him. I don't generally like writing characters that are very 'hard' to write though? So I don't often write them! I want the process of writing to feel like...fairly enjoyable, so I'm not looking for things to feel really difficult or impossible.

As for the characters I relate the most to over time, that changes a lot too! I relate to Gwyn a lot in The Nascent Diplomat, but less in other stories. And I relate to Efnisien more in Falling Falling Stars, but less in Underline the Black. So I think it's less about the character and more about what they're specifically dealing with!

It's so weird to think that Efnisien won't be my favourite character to write anymore one day, but I used to feel that way about Gwyn too! It's strange the way things can change.

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!

do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!

Another AO3 thing I’m curious about, how do yall decide if something is good enough to read? Usually I follow a rule of 1 kudos for every 10 hits. One because it’s easy math and two it’s yet to fail me. Thoughts? Do you just go for it and pray it’s good?

How I found out about trump getting shot

[def-not-kaz-brekker]

crazy how fanfic authors drop the most beautiful and gorgeous pieces of work ever, leaving you speechless and sobbing at three in the morning as you quietly contemplate the masterpiece you just read

and they don’t get paid for it they just do it because they’re having fun and they want to share their joy with you

like I would literally die for all of you fanfic authors out there reblog to swear your allegiance to fanfic authors

[insanityisdivine]

So true

[willgrahamscock]

there’s absolutely nothing better than reading a 100k word fanfic, that is until you remember you have a body that is starving, thirsty and incredibly sleep deprived and hasn’t used the bathroom since the sun set 8 hours ago

[paigegonerogue]

I, of mostly sound body and spirit, request that if I’m ever to die, someone post a new work on my AO3 that says “sorry, she died, ongoing stories postponed forever” because don’t I want my fanfic buddies to think I ghosted them. Amen or whatever you say in a will.
