Fanfiction Author Interview Game

Thank you for the tag, @pomgore!! It's been so long since I've done a proper tag game, it feels like lol

How many works do you have on AO3?

32 currently, though I'm tempted to trim some of that down with some works I'm not really fond of anymore (orphaning I guess? I'm not sure yet lol)

What's your total AO3 word count?

784,858, with a good handful of words written down unfinished and unposted

Your top 5 stories by kudos/likes:

May Your Forge Burn Bright

(Take Me Back To) The Night We Met

Dragonhearted

Forget-Me-Not

An Ink-Stained Vow

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I try to anyway!! I may not get to them in a "timely" manner, but I try. Even if it's simply reacting with an emoji - I like to let people know I see and appreciate their kind commentary!

What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending?

I am a happy ending type person, so I don't have any angsty endings, I don't think?

What's the fic you've written with the happiest ending?

See above lol they all end happily, and I want to keep it that way!

Do you write crossovers?

I haven't written any, and as of now, I have no intention to. Not my vibe

Have you ever received hate on a fic?

I have a few times now, yes. Honestly, it just goes back to my philosophy of "don't like, don't read", but hey, not all of us can be reasonable and not leave hate when we don't like something. The back button exists for a reason!

Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I do yep, as for what kind...soft? I don't know how to describe it 🤣 it's not exactly a strength of mine.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I'm aware of

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

As far as actually WRITING it together, yes! @sunnyrosewritesstuff and I did a collab last year for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Collaboration!

What's your all-time favorite ship?

Bagginshield, I would say. I have some other OTPs, or ships that I enjoy, but they're the one that have their claws deep in my skin at this point

What's a WIP that you want to finish but don't think you ever will?

This is such a hard question. I genuinely don't want to leave a started (as in, I started posting it on ao3) fic unfinished, but I have no idea where life is going to take me. I have an assortment of fics started, and plot bunnies fleshed out, but no idea where I'll get with them.

What are your writing strengths?

These questions are so hard to answer! I think maybe dialogue, sometimes? And maybe descriptions of emotions.

What are your writing weaknesses?

Run-ons are a huge issue for me during the actual process, but I also struggle very much with battle sequences. I would also throw smut under this as well lol

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

I think it depends! I throw in Khuzdul for dwarves, but offer in translations, but never really go beyond that. I think there are cases where it works, and others where it becomes too much.

What's a fandom/ship you haven't written for yet but want to?

Baldur's Gate 3 and Dragon age! I have stuff drabbled out a little bit for the latter, but haven't posted anything yet. I'm ready to expand my horizons!

What's your favorite fic you've written?

Asking me to pick my favorite child, I see. It can change from day to day, and for TODAY, I'm going to say Kurdu 'abadaz - it gave me an opportunity to do my own take on a "fix it fic", but also held something unique and unseen before which is amazing in a 10+ year fandom lol it was such a huge accomplishment that meant a lot to me.

1. How many works do you have on AO3?: I have 9 so far! I ended up deleting some old works that were abandoned and didn't have a lot of interaction that were over a decade old (and they didn't have bookmarks either so I wasn't worried)

3. What fandoms do you write for?: Currently, House of the Dragon is the hyperfixation

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

The Maiden and the Drowning Boy - HotD Canon Divergent

Soulmates Never Die - The Borgias (my oldest fic)

Fight For Me (If It's Not Too Late) - Teen Wolf

Boy With a Broken Soul (Heart With a Gaping Hole) - HotD Fae AU

You're the Lighting of the Blaze - Hotd Canon Divergent

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? Always! (and if I don't it's legit cause I forgot/thought I did and AO3 ate the comment). I love the community aspect of fic writing so if you take the time to leave me a comment, I love to engage. I especially love it when commenters ask questions and look for discussion.

6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? probably one of the old Prequel Star Wars Fics I wrote way back in the day.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Right now, it's a tie between You're the Lighting of the Blaze and Bright Star

8. Do you get hate on fics? Not on my fics directly but I have gotten some rancid hate in my inbox re: Abby (And then that escalated to telling me to end myself so). This is why I now have anons turned off. Sorry guys.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? I do write smut! I'm not sure what it means by 'what kind'? I've done a few solo smut-shots, and Maiden will have a few explicit scenes when this arc is completed. I'm definitely someone who loves Plot with a side of Porn, and as long as the smut flows well and isn't overly repetitive, I'm here for it.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? I have written a crossover! I had a mini-series of Whedon-verse/Supernatural called It Must Be Tuesday back on LiveJournal. Sam and Dean meet River Tam in a bar and the apocalypse happen. Dean and Buffy hooked up. I was acutally very proud of that LOL

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not stolen but I did have some concepts lifted from a Once Upon a Time fic

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Not that I'm aware of!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Yes! Soulmates Never Die was co-written with a friend at the time (we've lost touch since then), and then when I was in the Charmed fandom, I adopted out an abandoned fic of mine and was the beta/co-writer on a big future Fic series with Wyatt, Chris, and Chris' friends. Those were some fantastic stories.

14. What’s your all-time favourite ship? Oh man. I really love me Jacelaena and Helaemond still has a soft place in my heart (but the trajectory of a lot of the fics has just been... a turn off). Harry/Luna will always be warm and fuzzy for me (I used to be the ship captain back in the Fiction Alley days). Buffy/Angel was my first real Fandom OTP.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will? Hmmm... I don't have anything right now that fits that. I did have Isabelle Martin's Life is Totally Over which was a Derek/Lydia future Kid fic that I was actually enjoying but the fandom was such an utter turn off by that point.

16. What are your writing strengths? God fuck if I know. I think I'm really good at tying things together/call backs and really emphasizing those themes. I like to think I'm thoughtful at cause/effect of character action and consequences. 

17. What are your writing weaknesses? I feel like my descriptions are lacking and I get lost in the weeds. I struggle with finding the stakes in a story. Conflict is difficult. 

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? me crying with dote on doing some appropriately translated high valyrian for Maiden instead of just copy/pasting from one of the online translators. Only very, very, VERY few people will know that they're grammatically correct and honoring the original development of HV, but it was important to ME.

19. First fandom you wrote for? Star Wars back in the late 90s.

20. Favourite fic you’ve ever written? Maiden obviously holds my heart and soul, and it's always going to be everything for me, but I'm actually incredibly proud of Fight For Me (If It's Not Too Late). It was a two parter, and I wrote it in the span of a week? Maybe two weeks? and it was the last thing I wrote for a very long time.

[apocrypha73]

20 questions writer meme

Thank you @heyholmesletsgo for tagging me :)

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

76 (and counting)

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

1,095,178 at this moment

3. What fandoms do you write for?

I'm currently writing for Visual Prison and The Untamed/MDZS fandoms, but in the past I've written for Star Wars Rebels, the mcu, Supernatural, and a few others

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Maybe not so accidentally (899 kudos). A kalluzeb (star wars rebels) canon divergence AU

A Blind Goddess (657 kudos). Another kalluzeb fic. The star wars rebels fandom is a big one, so I guess it's not a surprise my top 3 fics with most kudos belong to it. It doesn't necessarily mean they're my best fics, only that more people have read them. But I'm grateful anyway.

The Reasons Why (426 kudos). Also a kalluzeb fic, and the first one I ever posted in English (I had only written in my own language until then). It was nerve-wracking to take that step but everyone's response was so kind it encouraged me to continue.

We Weren't Always Like This (413 kudos). This is a matchablossom fic (SK8 the Infinity), the first of the two fics I've written for that pairing.

No es la sangre (401 kudos). A thorki AU. This one is in Spanish

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Of course! The comments are a place to fangirl with people who are just as enthusiastic about the OTP as you are, what's not to like? Maybe I don't always reply as fast as I should, but I enjoy doing it.

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

I think most of my fics have a happy ending, I'm a basic bitch and proud of it. The only exception I can recall is It's not over, a destiel fic that was inspired by episode 5x04 of Supernatural and there's no way a story set in that alternate timeline could end well tbh.

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

The other 75? XDD. Okay, fine, there are two fics in which the happy ending felt very satisfactory to me because the characters went through quite a lot of angst to get there: Under the Spotlight (songxiao, The Untamed/MDZS) and Take my hand, take my whole life too (sagamist, Visual Prison)

8. Do you get hate on fics?

No, I've been really lucky in that regard

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

I do, but I'm pretty vanilla about it. I think the kinkiest thing I've ever written was some light bondage and very soft dom/sub dynamics.

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

El vínculo más profundo. It's more of a fusion than a crossover actually. The characters are from the movie "Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters" but the story is set in the Pacific Rim universe. It was fun to write

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Yes, it happened a couple of times with No es la sangre. Someone took it and posted it as their own, first on ffnet and then on wattpad. I don't think it was the same person in both cases. One of the (many) advantages of writing for small fandoms, as I do now, is that the chances of that kind of thing happening are almost zero.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Partially. Someone started translating No es la sangre into English, but they got busy and stopped after a while. I've thought about translating it myself but to be honest, I don't have the energy.

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

Yes, a very long time ago, with a very dear friend of mine. It was for the X-Files fandom.

14. What's your all-time favorite ship?

This is the most difficult question of this whole meme. I can't choose one, I love my ships dearly. I'd have to name at least five.

15. What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

I only have two wips currently in the works and I intend to finish both of them.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Action scenes, I think. Sometimes dialogue.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Pacing, infodumping, knowing how to let a story breathe and not rushing it. Those are the things I find more difficult to get right.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

If the story needs it, and if it's a language I know well, why not?

19. First fandom you wrote for?

The X-Files. Yeah, it's been a while

20. Favorite fic you've written?

I changed my mind, this one is actually the most difficult question. Aaah, I don't know, I tend to associate my fics with the community I get to enjoy through them, you know? It's not about how proud I am of the fic itself, it's about the whole experience. I am very fond of En la prórroga because I wrote it as a birthday gift for a friend and she loved it. I'll always love Under the Spotlight because it was my doorway to the songxiao fandom, where I have met some of the most amazing people you can find on the Internet. The same for Can't go back anymore, my first visupri fic, because I got to become part of an incredible group of friends thanks to it. And then there's Baby, It's Cold Outside and all the fun we had while I was posting that one. I'm overwhelmed by the response I've received to Maybe not so accidentally and No es la sangre, because I never expected any fic of mine to become so loved by anyone. So how am I going to choose just one?

20 Questions for Fic Writers

Howdy, so I was tagged by @kiwiana-writes , @littlemisskittentoes and @affectionatelyrs , who I’d like to thank for being very supportive and friendly. Thanks besties!

1. How many works do you have in Ao3?

So this is changing by the day sometimes lol, right now I’m sitting at 16 fics, 2 are currently unfinished, 5 are chapter fics.

2. What’s your total Ao3 word count?

Again, changing by the day it feels, but 132,329 words so far. That’s about the length of A Tale Of Two Cities.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Right now it’s FirstPrince (Red, White, and Royal Blue), but I have a Good Omens fic and several Homestuck fics.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

1. i hit my peak at seven feet

2. and that’s the way i loved you

3. something good and right and real

4. trouble’s gonna follow where i go

5. wanna know that body like it’s mine

Combined, these fic have 4,089 kudos.

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I try to reply to every comment, but sometimes it’s a little overwhelming. I absolutely try to respond to all comments that have more than one sentence, but if I miss you I’m sorry and I promise I’m going to get to you at some point!

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

Sir we write smut here, this is not a tragic writing space lol. If I had to pick I think then I think you don’t want to know me is going to have one of the sadder endings but even still it’s gonna be happy because I’m not a sad writer lol.

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

All of them? I mean, the sappiest ending is somewhere between i hit my peak at seven feet and something good and right and real.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

No, I mean the closest is someone who said my work was like disturbing or somethingbut I think that was actually a compliment???

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

This is like asking the Pope if he’s Catholic lmao. Yes I do, it’s primarily D/s dynamics, and almost always an AU one shot.

10. Do you write crossovers? If so, what’s your craziest one?

I do not. I sometimes put subtle references to other fandoms in my fics, but no crossovers.

11. Have you ever had your fic stolen?

Not to my knowledge, my partner has tho. If someone found out my fic was stolen I’d like to know, but honestly if you see something I’m writing and get inspired by it just write your own version and tag me so I can read it Y’know.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

I don’t think so, but I have had someone offer to translate a fic into Chinese. I’m down if anyone wants to, but I only speak English and a moderate level of Spanish so I couldn’t check someone’s work.

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

So my partner and I can get very collaborative, and I absolutely run my shit past people before it goes live, but for the most part I’m doing it all by myself.

14. What’s your all time favorite ship?

Listen I love FirstPrince with all my heart but DaveKat is my first OTP and I’m never letting those fuckers go.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but probably never will?

Hmm, so I want to finish that Good Omens fic I mentioned but honestly that started in a weird time and I’m not sure if it’s got legs. Aside from that I’m trying to finish everything I start! (Or at least everything I publish!)

16. What are your writing strengths?

So from comments, I’d say my prose and my dynamics. I’d agree, I think my style is based in my education in poetry, so I can for sure get colorful. And I really enjoy the politics of a relationship, so I’ll sit there and wax poetics about the nature of soulmates daily and nightly lol. I also just write a lot very fast, so that’s a strength I guess.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Descriptions. I’ll explain emotions to death but explaining how people look is more challenging. I also have issues with finishing things, which I’ve been trying really hard to work on.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

So I’m from Texas, so if it’s Spanish dialogue I’m comfortable. For the main part, I’m not going to write dialogue out word for word if the POV character doesn’t understand what’s being said, which takes out a lot of that issue for me. I think putting a foreign language in a fic is something that can be done very poorly, so I want to avoid that.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Publically? Homestuck. That’s my answer.

20. Favorite fic that you’ve written?

Oh god, having to pick between my own kids basically. i hit my peak at seven feet is so important to me, it’s a very personal story and it really catapulted me back into writing fic. I also love there’s nowhere in the world like, which is the first fic I published in this account and is a really fun work about one of my hyper interests, so if you like 80s theme parks and Homestuck, give it a spin.

I’m tagging anyone who wants to do this, so feel free to blame me and take a spin! But also I’m absolutely tagging @futureseaempress 💖

20 Questions Writer Meme

I wasn't tagged but I did steal this from @skywalking-through-life because it looked fun.

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

31. 11 are public and are from my current fandom while 20 are user-locked and are from previous fandoms.

2. What's your total ao3 word count?

1,140,336. About 900k of that is from my current fandom. :P

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Currently, I write for A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

Probably everything in my current fandom lol

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I do! I know it is a common complaint in the writing fandom space how fandom community has been replaced by content creation and consumption, and I figure that one of the ways to fight back against that is to have a two-way chat in the comment section. I also figure that both me and the reader are in this fandom for a reason and I also like chatting about the thought process behind my stories so I enjoy the thread gabs!

6. What's the fic you wrote that has the angstiest ending?

Me, who kills Jon off as a hobby: *laughs nervously*

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

Think I'll stick to current fandom for these questions but probably interlude: la danse d'hiver, the only time I will likely ever write a Babies Ever After/Targaryen Restoration ending. It maybe ties with the silhouette of a single memory, but the caveat with the latter is that everything in canon still took place so maybe it's more on the sweet side of bittersweet.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Not really? I've had a handful of stray comments that probably didn't need to be written but to be honest, I'm roasted on the reg by a pair of 6-year-olds. No one can hurt your feelings like a child with no tact so I usually shake my head and laugh at the rare bits of negativity.

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

I do love to see an aunt bang her nephew. So yes. Very much so lmao

10. Do you write crossovers?

Fusion, sure. But I haven't really written a crossover since my days writing for The Dresden Files/Sherlock and that was entirely due to a whole OC storyline I created with my partner-in-crime

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of. Hopefully not.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Someone translated the gather, the bend, the bringing forth into Russian. Kudos to them because even my eyes go crossed when I work up the gumption to reread that monstrosity.

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

In the past, yes! Not anymore though because my writing schedule is absolutely shit-faced.

14. What's your all-time favorite ship?

I've had a lot of OTPs. Clearly, I'm sailing on the Jonerys ship currently but I've had at least one or two for each fandom I've written for.

15. What's a wip you want to finish, but don't think you ever will?

Arcana, mostly. I grew disillusioned with the canon source and its author so there's a good chance this one will never be finished.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I am my worst critic so I'll just say I'm good at typing a lot of words that sometimes are coherent and pretty.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Pacing, which is a real fucking problem since four of my multi-chapter fics over the past couple of years have been (or are going to be) well over 150k.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

There are usually snippets of High Valyrian in some of my ASOIAF/GOT fics but I'm not sure of that counts.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Sailor Moon! :D

20. Favorite fic you've written?

Oooh. That's a tough one. I like all of my fics for different reasons. They each speak to me in a different way. I may love the complexity of one, the writing style of another, the themes of a third, and the characterization of yet another.

I will say that the two fics of mine I reread most often are the silhouette of a single memory and where ruin also exists.

How many works do you have on AO3?

13

What’s your total AO3 word count?

76,200

(oh what a nice even number - I should try to mess that up as soon as possible, shouldn’t I?)

How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

Aw man is this intentionally worded to be really hard to answer? I get that it says ‘written’ and not ‘posted’ but then what constitutes a ‘fandom?’ I definitely wrote fics for stuff I was interested in long before I even knew the word ‘fic’ - I did it throughout my childhood, and then in high school, and while I didn’t do it as much in college, it still happened from time to time. So a lot of the books/movies/tv shows/plays/musicals I wrote things for aren’t really fandoms, and frankly, I had to check my old folder just now to even remember some of them existed. I’ll just list the ones that I know for sure had fandoms, since that’s more fun (and embarrassing), right?

Obviously Doctor Who, classic and modern, Torchwood, Sherlock Holmes (ironically more of these seem to be about the books, but yes, I will admit, some for that tv show too), Les Mis, a couple different Marvel comics & movies, Good Omens, hell, I even found a Night Vale fic in there just now.

And I know there are other older things not even in that folder, some of which never made it to a computer at all, so if I had to ballpark a number I’d probably say around 25ish but really, who knows?

What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Across the Gap

On the Spot

Expectations

Shards of Memories & Fragments of Glass

Itemized

(this was fun, I’d never noticed Ao3 even had a stats page until now lol)

Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

I try to! Sometimes I take a long time to do so but for the most part, I usually get around to it. The rare exception would be if I first saw the comment when I was super busy/distracted and then felt like way too much time passed before I noticed it again, that it might be awkward if I said something at that point.

I do genuinely enjoy hearing what people think, but I’m also weirdly terrified of making anyone feel like they have to reply to my comments. I know that’s probably a little strange, but it’s actually a large part of why I made this Ao3 account in the first place - my original one, from high school, is followed by some long-time friends of mine who aren’t interested in this fandom, some of whom are involved in art & writing professionally. The thought of anyone like that reading something I wrote out of friendliness or even just curiosity and potentially having to pretend they liked it for the same reasons stressed me tf out, so I like having this virtually anonymous one because I can relax knowing that anyone who reads or interacts with something I wrote has probably done so only because they wanted to, rather than feeling obligated, and there’s no pressure on them to be nice to me about it if anything I write or post annoys them - so I really hope nobody who does just know me as an anonymous blog has ever worried about offending me by not replying to something, trust me, I’m perfectly happy with it!

What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

I don’t think I’ve really written any angsty endings? I guess the answer would have to be Reckless just because it involves the characters arguing about sad/weighty things and there isn’t really any solution to those issues - but even then I think I ended it with a kind of acceptance that stops it from really qualifying as angst? I also set it in the the same universe as other fics, so maybe that doesn’t even count as an ending? Am I that bad at ending things on angst? Lol

Do you write crossovers? If so what’s the craziest one you’ve written?

Obviously none of the fics I’ve posted are crossovers but I’m trying to think now if any of my WIP’s are - I’ve definitely poached setting/premise ideas from other media, but in terms of actual crossovers . . . I’ve got a few cross-era or cross-Doctor, a few involving Torchwood, but that’s already the same universe, so the only thing that’d qualify as a true crossover would be some vague pieces of a fic where Jamie, Zoe, and Two end up on the Enterprise, since I think the 60s series of Star Trek and Dr Who feel kind of compatible, don’t they? In fact, aren’t there like officially licensed crossover comics or something? Or did I make that up? Idk, and the ideas are very loose, so it’s not much of a WIP either

Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Nope, never

Do you write smut? If so what kind?

I’ve never written smut, but I’m wondering if it’s possible that could change soon. There’s a longish multi-chapter fic I’ve been working on for a frankly embarrassing amount of time, and the plot does call for a sex scene at one point towards the end, but I can’t seem to make up my mind on how - uh, I guess the word is explicit? - it should get. I know I could easily do a fade to black/implication thing, but it’s kind of a source of contention and anxiety for the characters, so to skip over writing the actual scene and just revisit them afterwards rings of “and they slept together and now everything’s fine!” which feels kinda cheap to me - in this context, anyway - and not the right payoff for a long fic that’s otherwise more of an interpersonal drama/slightly a period piece, if I had to place it in a genre. I feel like my aversion to actually writing the scene might just be prudishness I should get over, or maybe just self-doubt, because I know I’d rather have a well-written, funny, character-development-supporting sex scene than nothing at all, but since I’ve never had any interest in writing a scene like that before, I don’t know if I can do it well, and I also don’t want to ruin a fic I’m otherwise proud of by doing it badly... ugh I have to figure this out

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I seriously doubt it

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope

What’s your all time favorite ship?

I mean, it’s gotta be Two & Jamie. I’ve shipped things before with varying levels of investment, but I’ve never been able to use the term ‘otp’ in a literal sense until I came across them, and now it’s already basically gone out of fashion, go figure!

What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

I’m not sure if I have one? My WIP doc is huge, but I don’t actually intend to get around to finishing everything in it, so I’d like to think that anything I’ve currently singled out to complete can actually get done.

That said, I do have a few AU’s that I don’t really plan to finish, but it might be cool if I could. Two of them are for all the main + some supporting characters of the Second Doctor’s era - one’s a modern day school teachers AU, and the other is a typical fantasy/fairy tale AU. Another is just Two/Jamie, based on Doctor Faustus (specifically the Marlowe play version) but right now there are two different versions of the ending coexisting in my head. I’ve written parts of scenes & some gen. backstory for all of those ideas, but I don’t know if I’ll ever try to finish them, or what form a finished product would even take - a series of one-shots set in the same universe? one long multi-chapter fic with some kind of overarching plot? And the amount of context/worldbuilding a big AU like these would require might not make them very appealing fics for people to read, so maybe it is better if I just keep them to myself, since in my head I already know what’s going on in those worlds lol.

What are your writing strengths?

I honestly don’t know. I haven’t had a creative writing class since middle school, and since then I’ve only ever shown creative writing to others in a fandom context, so it’s been a while since I’ve discussed it or gotten critical feedback. I suppose when I work in other arts or even academic writing contexts, people usually say I’m kind of insightful or at least detail oriented, which might just be another way of saying I overthink things, but I like to imagine I’m decent at finding little points of interest to expand upon.

What are your writing weaknesses?

If you’ve read this far I feel like you must know what I’m about to say: I do not know how to be concise.

Usually when I’m writing a fic, I put down the dialogue first on its own, leaving out the action of the scene and whatever plot/context led there, even if I’ve already figured all of that out. But then when I go to add those things in, they’re always longer than I wanted them to be. I don’t mind writing something long, but I don’t want my fics to be a slog to get through either, and there can be a point at which the stuff I’ve added for context overwhelms the stuff that I wanted the fic to be about in the first place, so it becomes a structural/proportion issue too. I haven’t completely given up on any fics because of this yet, but there’s one I’ve been struggling with for a couple months now - probably because I’m even second-guessing myself on which scenes need to be written out and which can just be referenced like a recap. Hopefully I figure that one out soon.

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

((this is karma isn’t it? i posted a fic last week with two words of gaelic in it and was worried about that and now this is karma))

In general, I don’t want to do it. I feel like you’ve gotta have a really good grasp of a language to write dialogue & speech patterns for someone who’s a native speaker, and since I’m far from fluent in any language the characters I write for are, I wouldn’t feel confident writing any significant amount of dialogue in, say, Gaelic.

As a sidenote, though, I kinda love it when other people do it, particularly for Jamie. Irish (Gaeilge) and Scottish (Gàidhlig) are both languages I’ve wanted to learn for a long time, because my family’s fresh out of living speakers of either & I think that’s a shame, but I started with Irish and at the moment I’m still very much learning it. As different as they are, it still helps me understand parts of lyrics or texts that I come across in Gàidhlig fairly frequently, so when it comes up in a fic I get to feel like I’m being responsible and practicing, and it’s great when I can actually understand what’s being said.

What was the first fandom you wrote for?

I’m gonna go with Harry Potter even though that’s probably not a perfectly accurate answer - it’s almost certainly the first thing that has a fandom that I ever wrote for, but it was in a notebook when I was a kid and never something that I even typed on a computer, much less posted online or shared with other members of a fandom. But even then, I’m sure it wasn’t the first pre-existing fictional universe I ever set an original story in, because I did that a lot when I was a kid, it’s just hard to remember those clearly or on any kind of timeline.

What’s your favorite fic that you’ve written?

I’m very partial to Across the Gap, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that ranked first on the kudos thing above - but I’ve also got a soft spot for So Merrily We’ll Sing. It’s so self-indulgent it feels silly saying ‘it was so easy to write!’ but I guess having a fic that’s already just 100% headcaonons and fluff tied together by a song you really love does prevent it from being much of a labor (I also managed to refrain from making that one unnecessarily long, so that’s another win there)

tagging @terryfphanatics and anyone else who wants to do it - sorry I’m bad at remembering whose tumblr goes with whose Ao3 account, but I really would be interested to read this if anyone else feels like answering them!

[sour-n-salty-citrus]

26, 18, 2 and 6!!

Hey! Thanks for the ask :D

26. What are your favorite shipping scenes?

UHHH. I'm taking this as like specific scenes in fic and stuff, but correct me if you mean otherwise. Like when there's pining (or mutual pining) and the characters fight and then in the middle of a heated argument one says something that gets the other to pause. Bonus points if the one who said it slaps their hand over their mouth. I like it when there's a moment that seems shippy and then the author/creator turns it on their head lmao. OH i like it when the characters finally come together for the first time/fight for the first time and its like!!! How is THIS going to play out???! Or the first time the characters see each other differently and its like an /oh/ moment. Or if they've had feelings for ages and didn't realise what it mean and then it all hits them at once at the most inopportune time. I like when characters who insist they don't care about each other, when it comes down to it, do something that risks even their own lives that clearly proves otherwise. I like general pin-drop moments haha, that turns everything on its head. First kisses are always great! 10/10, I actually like kisses a LOT in general in fic, when used sparingly so that each time it happpens I'm like YESSSSSSS. On a slightly darker note (bc i know y'all only come here to hear me gush about my problematique shit), I love when one character is a being pushed to their limit by another and they're like they can't take anymore and the other is like "yes you can". Ajdbaksj, just in general one character being unable to do anything against another one/being helpless is just like mMm. I love it in unhealthy/toxic ships (fictional, of course!) when the abuser/controlling one does something that reminds the other why they stay with them (if they intentionally do), like kissing them, or being kind or saying "I love you". Stuff like that that makes the person weak for them. OH I also like it when one character grabs another by the chin to tilt their head up to make eye contact. Stuff like that akdnaksja. General acts of possessiveness and jealousy too. Stuff like pulling the other one close to them around others or making a point that the other belongs to them or saying stuff like "you're mine". That shit is great, gets me like 0///0

18. What is your favorite unpopular ship?

OH darn that's a good one! Hmmm. I'd say Steve x Loki (Frostshield) from the MCU. I don't know if its THAT unpopular but it's definitely dwarfed by other Loki ships haha. I love the dynamic between them, and I love fics that show Loki being simultaneously put off and endeared by the whole "sickly sweet" thing Cap has. If by "unpopular" you mean "generally disliked"... um, well, confession time, I have read a few Hisogon fics and I kinda that that ship ajdhskdj <<" (they have an interesting dynamic don't hurt me-). OH there's also Jonadio from JJBA which I adore, but is it /that/ unpopular? I've seen a lot of antis for it but it seems popular on ao3 so I won't count it.

2. What is your current OTP?

Haha, it's definitely Rickorty (since RaM is my current obsession lol).

6. Do you have a certain kind of ship you’re more attracted to?

Oh DEF enemies/rivals to lovers of any kind. Esp if they have some kind of common ground or would make a kickass team if they just worked together! I'm also just realising this, but I tend to have a big weakness for very visually distinct ships, often with a light/dark contrast (which goes for their personalities too haha). I think the thing that attracts me the most to a ship is if there's a sense of "it's only you" kind of thing. Like, this is a person who's special in a way no one else is. Romantically, yes, but also in terms of combat, ideology, understanding them- a kind of mutual obsession. It's why I like stuff like Jonadio and Bakudeku and Meronia (mello x near from death note). There's this sense of obsession that's easy to translate into romance. I guess there's also a lot of History^TM with these ships, and I like that too haha. I guess that's why rival/enemy ships are so appealing, because if I can't think of one character without the other, I'll probably ship them.

I guess that's why I don't generally find appealing friends-to-lovers for that reason (don't wanna call it "boring" but it's just less... enthralling to me-?), like where is the DRAMA! (Of course there's exceptions but that's the general pattern ;) )

always!!! responding to comments is one of my favorite parts of the fic process!!!

6) What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

i am a fluffy/happy ending person through and through so i was inclined to say "none" when i remembered i have this one sad (alternate)ten/rose fic that i just reread and while my english was atrocious back then and i truly intend on going back and fixing it, it's pretty poetic and angsty i think

So far we are... so close - Doctor Who

7) What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

literally all of them except for the one above and "gone tonight" which is sort of open ended lmao. but i'm gonna go with SWL bc it's a multichapter and i wrote a whole epilogue of fluffy so

8) Do you write crossovers? If so what is the craziest one you’ve written?

i don't and i don't think i ever will but i do think about my favorite characters interacting a LOT. my most constant scenario is a hospital au with all of my main ships, i have everyone's specialties in my mind and i revisit scenes often, it's wonderful

9) Have you ever received hate on a fic?

full on hate, never, but there were two instances that were kind of funny:

- i was partaking in a fic forum contest with the theme "meta" so i wrote a meta fic (fics that mention the existence of that universe fanfic within it) and i tagged it and all and someone left me a lengthy comment about how much they hate meta fics and i was like??? ok???

- i have this cute little piece called glasses where percy "steals" jason's glasses and goes to the canoe lake and annabeth tries to retrieve them and they get all cute and kiss once (1) and someone left me a comment asking how dare i post such explicit content in a fic rated K? ASDFHDJSHSH

10) Do you write smut? If so what kind?

sometimes! it's difficult for me and not something that i find fits most of my stories, but sometimes it does and it flows well. i've written some, but it's in the lowest percentage of my writing

11) Have you ever had a fic stolen?

oh boy, have i. a few times. last two times were separate occasions, months apart, but by the same fucking person. wattpad is fucking hell. they changed the names and just posted it to another fandom.

12) Have you ever had a fic translated?

once but it fits better into the previous question: one time i was searching the percabeth tag (that was like years and years and years ago) and there was this little drabble in portuguese (my mother tongue) and i started reading it and it was SO familiar and i was like wait a minute this is mine??? so like i wrote it in portuguese, then translated it into english myself, and someone without asking for permission or crediting me translated it back into portuguese and posted it as if it was theirs. it was a ride

13) Have you ever co-written a fic before?

no and i think im too controlling to ever do that

14) What’s your all time favorite ship?

that would be mister perseus jackson and miss annabeth chase aka literally the best otp that has ever existed they love each other so much and they will live a full life of happiness and that's all i have to say

15) What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

omg so many... im still in the hopeful stages for all the ones for my current fandom (tatb) so let's skip that and go to previous fandoms:

the trixya jealously one. i have like 8k of it and i liked it so much. it's so far from done. i wish i could finish it.

the hinny spy au. i loved when i had that idea. god that was such a long time ago rip

and the fake death yj au. god i wish.

16) What are your writing strengths?

right now i feel like it's nothing tbh, and i'm doing this to be dramatic or fishing for compliment, it's just been such a long period of writer's block that everything in writing seems weak to me right now. i am however much better at scenes with only two characters, the more people you throw in there the more likely i am to screw it up

17) What are your writing weaknesses?

as mentioned, any scenes with lots of people, but also may i say: ENDINGS. ending a fic is literally the hardest thing on the planet i don't understand how people do it smh

18) What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

i like it if it fits the characters/story but i absolutely hate not knowing what they're saying or having to wait for the author's note, so i'm a fan of putting the translation immediately after if you're gonna do that

19) What was the first fandom you wrote for?

harry potter.......... we've been there folks

20) What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

how can a person even choose this....... i'm proud of so many of mine. if i had to pick one right now i'd say "Just fall into place (you'll fall into me)" bc i wrote the type of fic that i love finding in my other fandoms and it felt like such an accomplishment. but im proud of many of them

i'm tagging @promiseofthepremise @scarletenvy @xgoldendays @byima and whoever else writes fic i totally lost sight of that in here sorry folks!!!

[insert-memical-username]

every question with the number 3 in it for the valentine's asks uwu

IF i remember the ask correctly, it’s this one, and here you go!

3. favorite love song?

I don’t really have one favorite, there’s a lot of love songs I listen to and the favorite one changes a lot.

13. favorite perfume/cologne?

On me, some men-like smells, can’t really say which ones; currently I’m using some Hugo Boss ones, ones that were advertised by Chris Hemsworth once. I like “female assigned” smells that are flowery, but not too suffocating, though I don’t wear them on myself, and on someone? Also “male assigned” perfume. just.. a little weakness of mine, I suppose.

23. what’s your dream wedding like?

Since I was a child I wanted a beach one. Now i’d say it’s kind of inconvienient but...beach one or forest one. I want to marry someone in the forest and for my ashes to be spread there when i die.

30. do you prefer to charm, or be charmed?

i’d say charmed, but I enjoy charming occasionally, and very throughroughly. I like feeling like the center of someone’s world, a centre of attention, perhaps I’m selfish. But I like to make someone blush or feel a certain way; it’s hard to tell which thing I like more, because these are two very, very different feelings for me.

31. guitar or piano?

Both. Both charm me on a different level and in a different way. But that’s overall a hard choice because it’s my two favorite instruments to play/have someone play if I ask.

32. favorite romcom (or any romantic movie)?

I used to watch these a lot when I was younger, never had a favorite one though, and I don’t remmeber most of them. Just one time enterntainment.

33. do you fall in love easily?

No.

34. valentine's decorations: yay or nay?

I’d say yes, as long as we don’t overdo it and don’t play along with the capitalistic hype of buying just to buy, to make one day more special than other just by overconsumption. Overal aesthetic is nice though, not something I am hyper-keen on, just a nice treat for the eye.

35. would you prefer to propose or be proposed to? what’s your dream proposal?

To be proposed to, I’m too bad with my own feelings to propose to someone. I’d probably just look at them with my hands in my pockets and go “want to commit some arson but from now on legally bound to each other?”. What can I say, this shit is hard.

You could probably give me a metal circle from the trash and I’d be okay with it but? Preferably a silver ring, or one made out of a bone. Human bone would be cool but that’s pretty illegal, so animal will do. And some flowers, maybe on a date. I don’t really expect much, I used to, as a kid, but it faded away naturally.

36. cloud gazing or star gazing?

Cloud gazing, but at night. Daylight hurts my eyes, and as much as I love the idea of watching a dying light of something that had perhished decades ago, but still shines upon our sky and makes us stare in wonder at its beauty even long after death, I’d rather let my imagination run wild - constellations already named by others don’t really give that. But aesthetically, they’re both breathtaking.

37. do you like to dance?

When I’m alone, maybe, when no one tells me how to dance and no one looks. Other dances... I always wanted to learn but was never good enough, so I grew to hate it. Maybe I should try again, someday.

38. what’s your OTP?

Whoever I currently obsess with one of my OCs.

39. kittens or puppies?

Puppies. I’m definitely a dog person, this level of loyalty and love makes me feel so warm.

43. favorite ABBA song?

Lay All Your Love On Me.

[silvysartfulness]

10, 14, 19, 41, 44!

Ahh, thank you very much for the Ask! :D

10.  Is there a fandom you read fic from but don’t write in?

Actually, I haven't really read fanfic in a very, very long time? I do love fanfic, I just haven't been invested enough in any fandom to gather spoons enough to read fiction in a long time. I've mostly lived in my own original storyverse Pangaea for the past three years or so.

I think the last fandom I actually read some fic for was the MCU in the early days of the first Avengers movie? I was relatively into frostiron for a while and helped my wife beta her fics Spiting The Sun and Do Ut Des, as well as reading some other fics I unfortunately can't recall the names of.

14. Go on, who are your BroTPs?

I love Wei Wuxian's and Wen Qing's dynamic! It's so so so rare to see a male-female friendship that isn't romance coded.

Literal bros with amazing dynamic would be Wei Wuxian and Jiang Chen, because who needs their heart anyway.

19. Is there a ship which you wished you could get behind, but you just don’t feel them?

Several, but it's a lot more to do with brain fatigue than aversion to the ships themselves!

I wish I had the energy and focus to read more XiYao, I really do love their chemistry a lot. (I may be on a slippery slope there, we'll see. Maybe I'll point back to this post in another month and laugh hollowly and say ”ahaha, guess I should have seen that obsession coming”. Or not. Who can tell? Not me. I just work here.)

I also... both kind of love and hate SongXiao? Like, I love their dynamic, but there seems to be a very black and white (ba-dum-tsh) view that they're the acceptable pure cinnamon pairing in opposition to the problematic clusterfuck that is XueXiao - and since I'm very much into XueXiao, I daren't look too deeply into SongXiao since there's almost always a very negative vibe regarding Xue Yang and Yi City there. But as two parts of the SongXueXiao disaster that I love, I definitely like them a ton.

SangChen? Is that the shipping name? One of those I can see would be fun, but am just not really feeling it.

To be honest though? I'm a thot for good writing and characterization and if something good enough pops under my nose, I'm very willing to give it a shot, no matter the pairing.

41. List and link to 5 fanfics you are currently reading:

I'm still very new in this fandom (hard to believe it's only been a bit more than a month since I jumped in!) and with my brain getting easily overworked, I actually haven't read all that much?

But let's see if I can scrape together 5 fics I read or have read!

1. Chopping Block. This has got to be one of my fave (Song?)XueXiao fics. The way the characters are handled is beautiful, and there have been several of those gut-punch ”oh.” moments where the hurt is so, so good. (The ”his hands get cold” scene, man. MAN.)

2. Red Azalea. This is another utterly charming (Song?)XueXiao fic, a delightful capricious post-Yi-City dance that will also deliver the occasional devastating emotional backhand.

3. My Erstwhile Dear. Aka the fic that decisively picked up my heart and rubbed it face-down into XiYao to the point I'm even on that slippery slope to start with. I find myself thinking about this fic a lot. Like. I probably get distracted thinking about it on an almost daily basis, hoping it'll update. The format of written letters delivers the hurt in such an elegant way, you just gasp for breath.

4. Rewritten. Found this because you rec'ed it! One of the very few modern au's on my list (nothing against modern au’s as such, just not my favourite trope, especially for this show) and damn. Hngh. One of the best openly SongXueXiao fics I've read. The character dynamics, the characterization, the whirl of the timeline layout and the background plot slowly creeping into view... Fucking masterpiece.

5. I'm not being creepy, I promise, but pretty much anything you've written for this fandom? Like, that is literally the last thing in my open fic tabs? Picking one single one is super-hard, but This Place Could Be Beautiful is the one I have bookmarked to browse your stuff, it actually had me literally tearing up reading it, and that's a very good thing? Lick Your Exit Wounds is another one I've re-read several times. Exposure Therapy for some good lighthearted fun (which, still, had me literally tearing up at the part where WWX just so quietly and resignedly asks if he's done something wrong, damn you) And tbh? I. Cannot. Wait. for the fucked up SongXue roadtrip. I cannot. Like. Its state of non-existence torments me. Torments me.

44. What ship do you feel needs more attention?

All mine, of course. (insert ”those pairings were mine, those other OTPs were other people's”-joke here.) Seriously, I'd love for more well written, messy SongXueXiao. XueXiao is also very, very good. And since it seems I at least glance in its direction these days, why not, more XiYao.

And honestly? I have the largest soft spot for any interaction between Wei Wuxian and Xue Yang. Whether sexy or just snarking off doesn't matter (doing both is a bonus).

They are such absolute parallels, the sassy street kids who climbed their way up and through convergent evolution became founders and inventors in a whole new area of cultivation. Never really fitting in - but unlike, for example, Jin Guangyao, who lives and breathes propriety and etiquette to get to own be part of that society, they both just give the cultivation world a big middle finger and walk their respective single plank bridges into the dark. If not for their opposite stances when it comes to caring about other people, they could have been something amazing together. (The whole ”I suffered so I will make sure no-one else will” vs ”I suffered so why shouldn't they?” approach in action there.)

I’m very weak for this, okay, and my brain often tells me delightful stories where they just snark endlessly at each other and it’s beautiful.

[just-my-thoughts-here117]

Alright, so I kinda passed out

Yep, and it was so fun (sarcasm).

And then later I was writing out a scene where my MC collapsed, and thought to myself, "oh hey, you sickly little walnut, guess what! You have some first-hand experience with this!"

Plus I've noticed many people seem to think it's all about just getting lightheaded and falling to their knees, which is a bit of a pet peeve of mine so ^-^

Anywho, me being me, I decided to describe it for y'all so that you can consider it while making your characters bite the big one, sound fun?

To be frank, I have no idea what caused it, it just kinda happened, so you may have to edit it depending on the cause.

So I was at my boyfriend's house with him, and my leg had been feeling weak (partly because I have to walk to his house), but suddenly they started getting worse and heavier. Then it got harder to breathe and see. It got to the point where I thought my throat was starting to close and I could feel my eyes...moving around, for lack of a better description. Basically I had a hard time controlling them and they just darted around really quickly.

I grabbed his bicep and told him, "Hey, I think I need to go sit down," and explained what was happening. At this point I had lines of saliva going down my chin (and I cannot stand saliva so he knew something was up) because my jaw was relaxing to the point to where it was slurring my words and for some reason, I was really producing spit.

Now, this isn't the first time I've collapsed at his house (but it is the worst one yet), so he got me some cold water (since we were by the sink) but I began to panic and tell him, "No I need to go sit down now," because I thought the water would make it worse. But that is when I blacked out.

And it was trippy as a banana peel on the floor, fam. Everything was blackness. Nothing existed. I forgot about everything and for a quick minute I hadn't remembered anything about life. When I came to again he had had me on the floor sitting up, only my body was slightly jerking and my entire upper body was going around in circles. My muscles gave out pretty quickly after that so I just kinda fell backwards and had to lay there for a second and wait for the feeling to come back to me and my muscles to work again. Even after that I had a hard time walking, and he had to help balance me.

So no, it isn't simply, "Oh lordy Jaysus above I don't feel well," and then deciding to hug the ground. It is much more complex and complicated than that.

Anyway comrades, that's how that went and if y'all have any experience as well, feel free to add. I hope this helps either progress your OTP or just give that shock factor, ya know? So, have fun ^-^ Good luck!!

(Also I have been very absent because I am currently staying at a college for two weeks. So far the classes are too long and the girls my age seem a bit "out there" or rude at times so 👌 that's fun [sarcasm])

Merle knew you’d kill him for siding with his Brother and you did anyway,I was there when Daryl had too…” I closed My eyes briefly trying to calm myself. It didn’t work.  Before I realized what I was doing I was standing,my gun pointed at him.   But The Governor was always one step ahead as he pulled a gun from the back of his waistband and pointed it at me as well. We had each other a stand off.  I didn’t waver as I glared at him. “Merle was the one man i knew loved me for all his faults and you took that away.” I said through clenched teeth,angry tears pricking my eyes.The Governor stared at me unblinking. “I loved you. I did.” He insisted at my scoff. “I realize it now. Killing Merle wasn’t personal. Even if it was,it didn’t make a difference,we both lost that day. Merle,My Daughter,Each other.” The Governor looked at me remorsefully. “I am sorry.” “So sorry you disappeared.” “So did you!” Governor shot back. “I had to…” I trailed off not wanting to explain myself to him.  I felt defeated,saddened,confused in that moment,that I didn’t notice when The governor slowly circled around the table,gun still in hand to walk behind me,grabbing my wrist that held the gun,putting his own to my temple. I stiffened but didn’t shrink away. We both knew we wouldn’t shoot one another. No matter how psychotic he could be or how hurt and angry I was.

story you’re most proud of- That one ^ or Wells of Hearts. 

best review you ever got-On My Gotham one or My Cat & Mouse Trilogy. 

worst review you ever got-None yet.

favorite story/poem of another author-Not sure.

hardest part of writing-Getting enough Motivation to write what is in your Head!

easiest part of writing-The Smut lol at least for me. ;)

alternate title for (The Alpha) My Alpha. Yeah very original I know lol

alternate ending for (Wells of Hearts) Not to give anything away but I had this big Fight scene between Reverse Flash,Obsidian Storm and Team Flash and Obsidian was going to turn her back on Eobard and side with Team Flash again at the last minute. But I decided her staying a Villain,essentially staying how Eobard made her,and joining The Legion of Doom plus all that happens afterwards would be more interesting. 

alternate pairing for (MugHead) I really don’t change My Mind when it comes to Pairs lol But I may write an Alternate Story with Michelle ending up with FP Jones instead of Jughead. 

single story or multi-part story? Multi.

one-shot or multi-chaptered story? Multi. 

canon or AU? usually AU unless the Canon is REALLY good. usually stay in The Canon World though. 

do you reread your own stories? Yeah all the time lol

do you want to be published some day? Maybe but since I write about Other Creators Characters I don’t think that’s possible. 

which one of your stories would you most like to see as a movie/series-Any of The Wrestlers actually being in a Romantic/Sexual Relationship like the one’s I write them in would be ideal. I’d watch it!

one song that captures (Wells of Hearts) The title is literally a Song except it’s WELLS instead of WAR of Hearts. Kings and Queen of Disaster is inspired by Queen of Disaster by Lana Del Rey. 

do you plan or do you write whatever comes to your mind? Whenever it pops into My head or when I can. 

would you ever write a sequel for (The Mark) I’d write another Baron Corbin x Roxy story but probably not a Sequel to that one since Dean is no longer in WWE. 

do you write linear or do you write future scenes if you feel like it? Linear. Though I should just write what pops into My head so I don’t forget it later. That just seems Messy to me.

share the synopsis of a story you work on that you haven’t published yet- The Alpha-My OC Marianna is 18 and Best Friends with Lydia,Alison,Childhood Friends with Scott and Stiles. When She meets Peter (in his Teenage Guise) After much banter and courting by Peter,they start dating. Until Derek tells her the truth about Peter being a WereWolf and killing Alison’s Aunt (She knows Scott’s a WereWolf at this point) and Peter appears to her in his adult form. Marianna breaks up with him but Peter starts stalking her,claiming they have a bond. It turns very dark after that and a year goes by until Marianna admits her real feelings towards him. They start dating again but in secret. Peter ends up turning her and becoming her Alpha,which is when The Group is finally told. After many Deaths,Forgotten memories,a short lived Relationship with Stiles and Memories restored,they end up leaving for Arizona and having a Child,Malia. 

share a scene of a story that you haven’t published yet-The Alpha-I noticed his dark slicked back hair and all black attire but I also noticed The Claws on his hands and The Fangs jutting out as he snarled at Stiles,ready to take another swipe at him or a bite. I recognized that look and not just because My Pack,Scott,Derek and Erica,wolf out. This was different this wasn’t out of Protectiveness,because I mean it was Stiles,but Jealousy and Possessiveness,over me. Because this Wolf was... “My Alpha...”” I whispered in shocked realization as My memories started rushing back, I knew something had been missing,I just didn’t know what. “How could I forget you...”

how many unfinished ideas/stories are you working on at the same time? Currently like 5 lol

three spoilers for (Kings and Queen of Disaster)-Suzanna will end up becoming Pregnant with Negan’s Child,Philip Blake will eventually be told of His and Suzie’s Daughter but it will be too late as Negan will end up Killing him after. 

writing advice-Nah this has already been too long.

open question to the writer

[tymptir]

⋰ ⊰ 𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐏𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐄.

WHAT’S YOUR OTP FOR YOUR MUSE? : going with canon ships my muses have? I’d definitely have to go for Jaime x Brienne as well as Sam x Gilly. closely followed by Brynden x being left the fuck alone. my ultimate OTP currently being written on this blog however is Beric x Thoros, simply because these two are so deeply in love and it’s so entirely wholesome and good it makes my heart melt.

HOW LARGE DOES THE AGE GAP HAVE TO BE TO MAKE IT UNCOMFORTABLE? : I honestly don’t really have a set rule for that. I mean I wouldn’t go ahead and ship Beric with Arya or Jeyne, not because the age gap makes me uncomfortable, but rather because I can’t see anyone of Beric’s age being interested in a young girl. most of my ships involve people ranging from their late teens to earily thirties, which, in the ASOIAF context, is pretty fair game I believe.

ARE YOU SELECTIVE WHEN SHIPPING? :  ish? there are various ships I can see happening with my boys, but I am rather selective with the muns I’d wanna write them with? because I have a hard time writing a ship with someone who’s not a friend of mine ooc. so while for instance, leaning back on Tyrion’s marriage lies he told while he was Hand, the idea of an arranged marriage between Myrcella and, in my case probably Maron Greyjoy would be interesting, I won’t jump at the chance of writing that without a Myrcella I was friends with. so I’m selective when it comes to muns, but not necessarily when it comes to the ships themselves. so long as they’re logical.

HOW FAR DO STEAMY MOMENTS HAVE TO GO BEFORE THEY’RE CONSIDERED NS/FW? : probably what basically everyone says; as soon as clothes come off and hands start travelling to the nether regions. ahem.

WHO ARE OTHER MUSES YOU SHIP YOUR MUSE WITH? : listen if I start listing possible ships for 14 characters, we’ll all be here until tomorrow. as a rule of thumb, pretty much any of my younger gentlemen (Grenn, Gendry, Maron, Harrion) are by default interested in pretty much any beautiful girl around their own age range, so long, as mentioned before, the respective ship makes sense.

ANY NOTPS? : Gendry x Arya, absolutely. he considers her to be his little sister, end of story. also Tyrion x Sansa. while he adores her endlessly, Tyrion has no romantic feelings for Sansa, nor will he ever develop any.

DOES ONE HAVE TO ASK TO SHIP WITH YOU? : definitely. there would also have to be a natural progress for a ship. I’m not a fan of someone approaching me out of the blue and offering the idea of a ship, when our muses have shown no such relationship in any thread so far. unless ofc we’re plotting towards an arranged marriage. but yeah, definitely ask and then excessively talk to me about the ship. 

HOW OFTEN DO YOU LIKE TO SHIP? : not that often, actually. I am much more interested in family relations tbh; you always get me with sibling dynamics rather than romantic ships. but if a ship happens I certainly won’t say no, so long as it unfolds naturally.

ARE YOU MULTISHIP? : I am, but I am ship-exclusive. so I will only ship with one version of that respective muse. that is a must on my blog, simply because I’ve made a couple of bad experiences being replaced as a ship partner in the past, and that just wasn’t any fun.

ARE YOU SHIP-OBSESSED OR SHIP MORE-OR-LESS? : I’m not ship-obsessed at all tbh. I am obsessed with big plots and character growths. if that includes ships I’m super happy, but I won’t just focus on shipping without plots to go with that ship.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SHIP IN YOUR CURRENT FANDOM? : honestly, Tywin and Joanna always make me weak, even though she’s long dead at the start of the story. also Oberyn and Ellaria.

FINALLY, HOW DOES ONE SHIP WITH YOU? : just write with me. if the muses push that way, a ship might just occur naturally, or come approach me for arranged marriage plots, because given the universe we play in, I am definitely a sucker for those.

SHIPPING INFO !! Answer the following for your muse so people know how shipping works on your blog.

WHAT IS YOUR OTP FOR YOUR CHARACTER[S]?:

Leon has been alive like 3 days he has nobody yet ya’ll LOL but I am definitely interested in the potential the fandom also sees for his relationship with Mathias, even if that is inevitably destined for failure one way or the other, but I don’t mind that? I enjoy exploring not only successful and long lasting relationships but those that crumble down the line and end in tragedy or even with the two becoming enemies just as much, and you know I’m Weak As All Hell for villain/hero ships. It’s ripe for the exploration of tragedy, complexity and emotional gravity. Obviously his canon ship with Sara is one thing too, and he clearly loved her very dearly if he was willing to take on a vampire with theoretically his bare hands for her LMAO SO WE CANNOT FORGET THAT and I wish a little more time could be spent devoted to their relationship as well in the series for us to measure it more tactfully. But she’s also dead af now so tbh it seems Leon is just not fortunate in the romance department you guys. He put all his stats into combat skills. 

WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO WRITE WHEN IT COMES TO SHIPPING?

The standard stuff you’d expect I guess. I am willing to explore and stretch my wings as it were in a ship in search of more interesting dynamics than just being blissfully in love, which is why I have a leaning towards more dramatic scenarios as listed above lmao. But I do just as much enjoy a couple who can just be happy and have an easy-going relationship with NO DRAMA LOL WE NEED BALANCE. But it is a firm rule of mine that everything that happens regardless of the context or dynamic needs to stay consensual and of age.

HOW LARGE DOES THE AGE GAP HAVE TO BE TO MAKE IT UNCOMFORTABLE?:

If the character is underage then it is unacceptable regardless of any other contributing factors, simple as. In a more general sense, I prefer ships where everyone is at least in their twenties or above, but apart from those hang-ups though? Age gaps of any size after that cap don’t much bother me, given all parties involved are willing, informed and consenting adults.

ARE YOU SELECTIVE WHEN SHIPPING?:

Somewhat! I don’t just ship with whoever comes along, that’s for sure. I like to build some rapport and chemistry between myself and the mun as well as our muses at least for a while before the possibility of ship is going to be explored. It happens quicker sometimes more than others and really does just depend how well I gel with a person as a whole. I usually know quite soon if I would entertain a ship with a person albeit, just based on their personality and conduct.

HOW FAR DO STEAMY MOMENTS HAVE TO GO BEFORE THEY ARE CONSIDERED NS/FW?:

As soon as the moment is actually steamy enough to warrant hitting up that NSFW tag pretty much. All the preamble of kisses and wandering hands and whatnot doesn’t really qualify for that as far as I’m concerned. It’s not until things take a turn for the truly graphic that I tend to bust out the read-more’s.

WHO ARE OTHER THE CHARACTERS YOU SHIP YOUR CHARACTER WITH?:

Nobody right now! I haven’t really seen any potential for ships even in the plotting stages with other muses just yet or any chemistry bubbling under the surface that suggests there might be. We’ll come back in a few months and see if that has changed at all. And we’d be here for ages if I delved into all my other muses and their potential other ships LOL but needless to say, ships come from the funniest and most unexpected of places, so it’ll be interesting to see if anything similarly wild brews over here in the coming times.

DOES ONE HAVE TO ASK TO SHIP WITH YOU?:

Yes! Hints will probably either fly over my head or I’ll just assume you’re not serious about it if they aren’t upfront enough to express a desire to ship and we will just go in circles for eternity lmao. All my ships have come about just by one person or the other expressing it in plain terms that hey, these two are great together and I think it could work, and I’ve almost always been inclined to agree! With my very close friends though, it’s pretty much a given I’ll say yes to giving a ship a whirl and signing away another fragment of my dying soul to them forevermore.

HOW OFTEN DO YOU LIKE TO SHIP?:

With my friends? Any amount of time, any amount of ships; given the muses involved are multiship and available or otherwise just inclined towards having relationships in the first place. I love exploring ship dynamics with my partners since they make the experience such an utter joy and always surprise me with the things we end up brewing together. With newer folks I tend to err on the side of caution when it comes to shipping in general.

ARE YOU SHIP OBSESSED OR SHIP MORE-OR-LESS?:

Ya girl is very ship obsessed and I treasure all my individual ships very deeply. If I feel that you’re cool with me spamming songs or quotes or whatnot to your DMs all the time, boy I sure will, and a good amount of my time online is spent discussing the various relations my muses have built with others. They’re such a fulfilling and rewarding thing to have and I cherish them all, as well as the people that have given me the pleasure of being their shipping partner in the first place. I love ships, I love my ship partners, I love the magical things we can create when we put our heads together. Just a whole lot of love, you guys.

ARE YOU MULTISHIP?:

Depends on the muse! Some of my muses are singleship, some are only single ship in their main verse, but most of them are still very much on the multiship market and staying there for the foreseeable future.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE SHIP IN YOUR CURRENT FANDOM?:

I HAVENT CHOSEN ONE FOR CASTLEVANIA YET ACTUALLY LMAO. Actually Drac x Lisa makes me cry real tears but we all know how that ended. And pretty much all my fandoms except VKC have like no fodder for ships I’d be interested in backing. Robehira is forever though.

FINALLY, HOW DOES ONE SHIP WITH YOU?:

Approach me! Talk to me, plot with me, laugh and joke with me, just make friends with me in the most general of senses. The more approachable we are to one another, the more likely there will be room for something to start bubbling in our muse’s relationships too. As I said before, pretty much all my ships come from people who I spent a lot of my time talking to, plotting with and making friends with, whereas ships that came from more casual acquaintances always fell through because they simply lacked the magic and depth that my other ships carried with them. My friends at this point by contrast only have to say the word and I’m probably already aboard, and that’s because I already know they’ll make it a truly wonderful experience. In short, communication is key!

Roleplay OTPS? Past and Present

I have had plenty of pairings with my characters in one way or another, but not all of them stuck, it has been truly dependant on chemistry and well....

Share the love!? Please REPOST! not reblog.

Tagging: @lupuslxna @saturninebravery @authenticbilinski @thespireghost @mindthevoices @halfsquibwitch  @haletheking + WHOEVER WANTS TO DO IT

Name some of your favourite roleplay pairings! Right here! Right now!

I mean, we all have them. Either with our canons or original characters. Personally, I have several, and I been lucky enough to have roleplayed them, or I am currently roleplaying them. I am sharing this to just show my love and adoration for the roleplayers that ventured into romance rp with me! Even if I am not that great at it.

Thank you all, you made my roleplaying days brighter :D

Penelope Plunkett x Henry Jekyll!

I DID NOT SEE THIS ONE COMING! But @henryxjekyll took Penny by storm and surprise. Penelope truly cherishes this man. Even if I am not even sure of the verses we played or the timelines, I know that my fiery redhead would love him no matter what period they were in, and even in re-incarnation they would most likely find each other. I miss him! <3 

Graham Montague & Pansy Parkinson. 

I rped with a lovely parkinson rper ( @sharptcngued ) and this actually became a favourite of mine. However, I couldn’t continue it as I wanted to....but in my world Graham had a total crush on her for a good 3 years in Hogwarts, and after Hogwarts. And probably for a few years afterwards.  Look at the two cuties judging people!!! LOOK AT THEM OK! Graham truly adores Pansy and holds a very special place in his heart for her.

Graham Montague & Percival Graves.

This was a complete accident of sorts, as it so often is in roleplaying. The take on the character from @reportsduemonday side is brilliant and harrowing. But also very deep, layered and genuine and Graham slowly fell very deeply in love with this man. He’d do just about anything for him, if it meant keeping him safe and happy.

Hestia Jones & Severus Snape.

Hestia is a character that really sits deep within my core in some ways. She is there, but she is ‘oh so selective’. I like when she actually comes out to play with people she feels comfortable with, and I do wish to play her more. This being said, she took an almost automatic liking to Severus snape [ @wandchoosesthewizard ] which was at best a little odd, but made me really happy. Cause I love her character, strengths and weaknesses, she is really one of those characters that is ‘really a person’ to me. And their Snape just, really challenges her and entices her in some fun ways.

Grayson & Stiles

If only someone knew what was happening here. Grayson has a real soft spot for Stiles who is constantly over-prepared and high on energy. And Stiles has a warm heart for the bear-boi who loves his honey. Together they do make an amazing team and they’d make an excellent and handsome team. Also cheeky. @authenticbilinski Stiles is beautiful and very true to the character, which makes it even sweeter in its own right.

Penelope Plunkett & Malcolm Baddock

These babies are cute! I love their odd energy and contrastig personalities, but I think I ended up discontinuing the rp simply cause my mind got a bit stuck on the fact that Penny is a Marauder Era character and Malcolm is not. BUT HEY, that is why you have AUs isn’t it? @mistermalcolmbaddock is a beautifully written and layered character. He is a minor character from the books a slytherin and he is gloriously written, with such a lovely backstory! Juyst, all the love <3
