I bookified @justaboot 's Dear Fellow Traveler and my stars was it fun. It turned out so good as well and i could not be happier with the result!

[writebackatya]

Was tagged by @justaboot in a post with a lot of questions, let's do this!

how many fics do you have on ao3?

14

what's your total ao3 word count?

159,641 words. but let's be real, a good chunk of them are song lyrics.

what fandoms do you write for?

DuckTales (2017)

what are your top five fics by kudos?

Indi-Quack!

Rainbow Connections

Home for the Holidays!

Moon with a View!

Let's All Go to the Movies!

do you respond to comments? why or why not?

For the most part, yes. I try my best to get back to people's comments, especially if they have questions. But sometimes I just don't have the energy when I wish I did

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

I'd say the ending to F.O.W.L. Play! from Indi-Quack! might be the angstiest. Nothing like ending a story where you go through the morning routine of one FOWL employee and finding out she keeps her sanity by getting high with another underpaid employee who works her ass off a minimum wage and is also not happy where she is in life

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

hard to choose since I almost always go for the happy ending route. I think any of the stories for Home for the Holidays! could be the answer to this one cause those stories are nothing but holiday and winter fluff.

do you get hate on your fics?

it happens but not often. the first time I ever got hate was from a Della hater troll and they seem to be the only one who leaves hate on my fics

do you write smut?

no, but I've thought about it before. I don't mind sex in a story, but I don't know if I'm the right person to write that kind of stuff in a story. Honestly, the only reason why I wanna write smut is because I've plenty of jokes that I think are funny that would only work in a smut story

do you write crossovers? what's the craziest one you've ever written?

kinda??? would you consider having characters from various Duck media that never appeared in DuckTales 2017 crossover stuff? Heck I've got a couple of Della Duck stories in the works where she interacts with Mickey and Friends and I don't know if that should be considered a crossover

have you ever had a fic stolen?

no. thanks guys!

have you ever had a fic translated?

no, but that'd be neat!

have you ever cowritten a fic before?

no, but that is something I wouldn't mind doing some day

what's your all time favorite ship?

Of all time!? I don’t know. I love love

what's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Oh so many: An Act of Murder!, Back in the Game!, F.O.W.L. Play!, The Iron Duck of Steel: The Gizmoduck Movie, Part I!, The Spear of Selene, and Thanks for the Memories!. I've just been working on these for so long that it feels like I'll never finish any of them

what are your writing strengths?

when I'm in the mood to write I can really write, I like to think my dialogue is interesting, characterization, and I'd say my rapid fire humor

what are your writing weaknesses?

I'm a terrible planner, I don't write stuff down, I keep stuff in my head like it's the best storage place, I underestimate how big some stuff will be, I don't allow myself to just write

thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I've mainly used Google Translate for other languages such as Jose and Panchito's dialogue in The Three Cabablleros (and Della)!. But for Let's All Go to the Movies! I got my buddy @tokuvivor to translate a conversation between Fenton and Gosalyn. Honestly, one of my favorite parts of that story and I think tokuvivor translating it himself adds to the joke. Both Lin-Manuel Miranda and Stephanie Beatriz both know Spanish, so having someone who can help me translate my dialogue so that it can sound natural and be a bonus to bilingual speakers just makes me happy beyond comprehension

I will say I did use Google Translate for that story, but for English! So for the Fight Fighters game I wanted to get that badly translated English feel for the dialogue so for pretty much every dialogue in the game was translated to Japanese and then back to English. Except the line "Now I will kill you until you die from it!", that comes from the movie Hot Shots! Part Deux

first fandom you wrote for?

...Sonic. it was a phase, i have no strong opinions about that blue hedgehog these days I mean I guess his games are...fine? The cast of characters are...pretty cool, I like Tails I guess.

favorite fic you've ever written?

hard to say, but I think I'd put Indi-Quack!, Rainbow Connections, Let's All go to the Movies! in the top spot

I choose to tag: @tokuvivor, @imjustusingthistolikeartists, if they choose to answer these questions

This was made last minute, but anyway I love to see everyones art! This show will always have a place in my heart, even after 6 years.

source: goldiejake11 based on a fic by justaboot 'and a sixpence in your shoe'

I'm rereading some of my faves and am hoping to dish out some fic pics based on them.

This one is from chapter 12 of @justaboot 's fic 'and a sixpence in your shoe' an incredible take...and in my humble personal opinion an even BETTER take than the original it was based on: 'Till Nephews Do Us Part from DT'87.

[godfrey-the-chaos-duck]

Guys

If KOSA passes, and Tumblr shuts down, or I get booted off for being queer, I just. I want to say thank you all so much.

It's currently after midnight where I live. I have a school trip to Hamlet tomorrow morning. But this is important, dammit.

I love this fucking site. I love the community I have here. I know there is so, so much wrong with the internet, but fuck, I got lucky with where I landed.

So, to my beloved members of the Cafeteria Table, and everyone else who puts up with some random Irish enby screaming about ducks, angels and demons, thank you, and I hope this isn't goodbye.

I know I'm probably forgetting people and I'm so sorry if I've interacted with you and your name is not on here.

Like I said, I hope this isn't farewell, but in case it is, I wanted to give you the goodbye you all deserve. Now, if you'll excuse me, I am going to download my favourite fics from AO3 because that'll no doubt get shut down as well if this fucking bill goes through.

Fuck you, US conservatives. The world will never forgive you.

~ Godfrey 💛

[delladuck]

Thanks @0sharisa0 for tagging me!

Are you named after someone?

No, my mom just liked the name and that’s how I came to be called Agnieszka.

When was the last time you cried?

Today when I, for some reason, accidentally kicked a chair and writhed in agony, crying.

Do you have kids?

I do not.

What sports do you play/have you played?

Volleyball because that’s pretty much all you do during PE lessons in Polish schools. I also did climbing for a year or so, but I had to give it up because I didn’t have time for it. I might come back to it someday, who knows.

Do you use sarcasm?

I try to refrain from using sarcasm when I am with people that either don’t get it or find it rude, but in general I usually do.

What is the first thing you notice about people?

Maybe the sound of their voice? I don’t know.

What's your eye color?

Green

Scary movies or happy endings?

Happy endings! But I also do not mind not-happy endings!

Any talents?

I can edit videos, learn languages, draw, and I’m also said to have pretty handwriting.

Where were you born?

In Małopolska, Poland.

What are your hobbies?

Reading books (especially 19th century novels, fantasy, and history books), making DuckTales music videos, drawing, playing the piano (albeit terribly), writing (said she who has not written a single thing in six years), watching cartoons and musicals.

Do you have any pets?

No, currently not, but I used to have a cat!

How tall are you?

158 cm

Hold on, let me convert that to feet.

There you go!

Favorite subject in school?

Math, English (as a foreign language), German (as a foreign language as well), and history. And when it comes to the subjects I currently have at university, then probably all those that are connected with history.

Dream job?

I would probably like to work as a translator and/or a tour-guide.

Tag 15 friends

I don’t think I have that many friends, but I will tag people that I find cool and that I would like to be friends with!

Ducktales Fics

~ long but good edition ~

Masks within Masks by Kyprish_Prophetess

• super long but I love it…. I never regret picking up this book ever ever ever.

• Donald Duck personas all into one fic… glorious

• got me into PKNA comics and I will never regret that

• author is amazing and constantly updates on this thing and I love that

• I started reading this when it had around 61 chapters and now it has 81… :,) they grow up so fast…

And a Sixpence in Your Shoe by justaboot

• I’m a scroldie fanatic and there is like a few mentions of Goldie and one appearance yet she’s omnipresent… it’s the vibes!!

• HEAVY family hurt/comfort… especially Della and Scrooge. But it’s cool ‘cause they defeat the villain and it’s a big party we love that.

• once again I have reread this thing at least 4 times. Never regretted.

• I am obsessed with every masterpiece posted by justaboot. Obsessed. Every little character arc gives me a heart attack then I’m comforted with fluff.

Highlights from tonight's movie night celebrating some of the different teams Donald has been a part of in categorized and chronological order (I honestly like this format. I might stick with it):

"Boat Builders":

Good news: The short has subtitles! Bad news: They're not in English, so you still can't understand what the fuck Donald is saying.

justaboot: "god's third choice after the 3 stooges"

Max's mother has been found

DONALD KILL

Us ranting about Bradford using the Papyrus of Binding to escape like the COWARD THAT HE IS! WHY WE OUGHTA— COME BACK HERE, YOU LITTLE—

If I had a nickel for every time Black Heron lost her robot arm, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Me: "BEAKLEY YOU FOOL" Godfrey: "YOU FUCKING FOOOOOOOOL"

"The House of the Lucky Gander!":

Louie "I do hate hot dogs" Duck noticing the neon lights shaped like a hot dog

POTATOLAND! POTATOLAND!

"Mickey, I am fed up with your bullshit devil magic."

Praising Mickey's characterization in the Paul Rudish shorts

No more Idaho

Just the whole short in general. It's the best. XD

The turtle trying to be the rooster from Robin Hood at one point

"That little diddy's starting to grow on me."

Pete referencing The Lion King

Donald FINALLY unleashing his iconic temper

(Look what you made me do! /lh)

Pirates of Penzance

"Not long… maybe… 40 years?"

The movie ending with the fucking Can-Can

Learning about how Tokyo Disneyland had Mickey, Donald, and Goofy as the Three Musketeers and they all looked AMAZING (Why does Japan get all the cool shit?!)
