20. What’s your favorite part about the fanfiction writing process? :)

Fic Writer Ask Game:

Gosh that’s tricky, because I often joke about damn torturous the fanfiction writing process can be. I think most writers can relate. 😂 But! We wouldn’t be doing this without having some sort of love for it, so let’s focus on that!

I think my personal favorite part of the process is just playing around with a world I already love. With my original writing, I tend to get very hung up on world-building and characters because I have to build them all up from scratch. That’s not to say I can’t find enjoyment in that too, but it’s understandably a lot more daunting. But with fanfiction, you get worlds you already love exploring and characters you already enjoy interacting with, and it’s basically like playing Barbies!

You can expand upon the world, find the little corners and details that didn’t get much spotlight in the original work, and ask yourself, “What if this happened? Or Character A did this instead? Or how would they react to XYZ?”

It’s fun! Because you’re not just the passive audience member anymore, but you get to be in control, decide how things will work out.

TLDR: Fanfiction is the writing equivalent of smashing your action figures and dolls together to make them smooch and I love it.

[feyriane]

Hey, not sure if we've spoken much but I hope you feel better soon and that they find out what's wrong :(

Thank you so much :))) !! I hope they’ll find what is was for sure, too... Cause this time I was lucky to have someone who could reanimate me near me, but.. no, it can’t happen again, it won’t. Hopefully!

[shokermod]

Well, thanks so much! As has been mentioned, the encouragement from you all is definitely motivational.

OC Faceclaim Meme

@thatonecurlygurl​ tagged me to do this and even though I struggled with finding right face for the Queen of Ferelden, I’ve made it somehow! So thank you, sweetheart, it was really fun

I’ve assigned a face for most of them some time ago, but there was one that I had to change and one, that I’ve never really thought about before, but… well. Let’s just start.

Olivia Wilde for Tara Cousland (aka the Queen of Ferelden)

Long time ago I used to identify Tara with Katie McGrath but I’m definitely overusing Katie’s face for my OCs (what can I say, I love the girl)… Plus, at some point it ended up as Nymeria’s face and it’s tangled with her so strongly, that I had to look for someone else for my Queen. Let’s just say I’m not disappointed ^^

Sophie Turner for Leila Hawke

This one somehow always felt right. Shophie’s appearance is amost exactly what I imagine Leila is, so…

Natalie Dormer for Caya Cadash

It may not be perfect, but there are some features that I consider accurate. Lips. I’m talking about lips U_U

Cara Delevingne for Amy Shepard

This is the one I had to really look for cause I’ve never done it before and I had no idea if I’ll be able to find someone who fits but OH MY GOD IT TURNED OUT SO WELL???  At first I saw this photo and even though she’s blonde there, totally not what I was looking for, it just felt so right???? I mean… Her eyes and those dark eyebrows, her nose, face shape, HER LIPS??? HAVE YOU SEEN HER LIPS?? These are Amy’s lips, a flawless copy. She’s just perfect and I love her! 

Claire Holt for Danika Ryder

Don’t… DAI version is awful but I just can’t figure her out in the CC so please, don’t even look at her, Claire is what really matters. I’ve assigned her to Dani about a month ago, she seems accurate for what I want my Ryder to look like… I think she’s good for the role ;) We are yet to see what game will actually give us.

I do not have a face for Scott Ryder yet, but I don’t know if I even want to change Steven Brewis’s face, he’s so pretty and all… He may end up with the default appearance.

My other babies already have faces and you can check them all out if you want to - HERE. And that’s all, I think. Let’s tag!

@loonyloopy @hawkeatyourservice @superannilocked @inquizies @spacerbrat @littlemisstrancy @commander-roseshepard @hashtag-no-lyfe​ @courtneysupertramp @thexann @rhulaurious @couslands-littlespitfire @nihonhime @fairandfatalasfair @wearenotshepard @andromayda @readbythestarlight @actualferelden @naxxramen @criticalranger @jaylahz @mccreeapologist @biggestdisappointmentinwarfare (yup, you’ve got second tag)

[ashenhartkrie]

I love your Inquisitor, the picture on your sidebar is so amazing I've just been staring at it for like 20 minutes

omg thank you so much

I literally spent close to an hour on him. (his name is Brynn, btw, so things tagged with Brynn usually correlate to him. 

[lindira]

I love the Cullen/Trevelyan video! Got it on repeat right now :)

Oh, thank you!! I'm so glad you liked it! I love the song, and I thought it fit them so well. :)

Excellent! We thought so, too! Petri and I are elbow deep in dialogue strings right now, but we’re completely excited for this.
