#what does the word even mean I've never seen it before 😂😭

[trixytheunicorn]

I've been blocking miraculous ladybug tags for specific episodes for months now, since I haven't been able to sit down and watch s5 yet, but every now and then there's a post that passes my dash like "contains filtered content: #determination" and I have tosit for a moment sometimes and remember why I have some random word filtered 😂.

But bro what the heck kind of title is deflagration 😭

20 questions for Fic Writers

Thanks for tagging me @talkstoself

1. How many works do you have on A03?

42

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

102,210

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Currently Miraculous Ladybug, Batman, and Maribat, but I've been known to dip into Doctor Who, Austin & Ally, and the Thundermans (though the Austin & Ally can only be found in the Internet Archive because middle-school-me was wild. And it has a different username so happy hunting lmao)

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

5. I'm Gone, Gone, Gone, Gone 4. 1 - Sofa 3. 7 - Breeding Kink (Honorable Mention: Babies) 2. Buzz Buzz Bitch 1. Tag Teamed on the Tower (I really should have seen that cumming)

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

Yes! Because I feel guilty if I don't Because I don't honestly get a ton, so I can't be overwhelmed by it. If I was a big name, maybe I wouldn't reply to as many, but I don't get a ton, so I find it easier to handle. This is not me fishing for comments, I swear. I'm just as guilty of not commenting (I'm trying to do better, but I don't always remember, and I don't always have it in me. I do always kudos, though). I write for me (mostly), but if you enjoy it, great! If not, to each their own. But never feel obligated to comment on my fics. I would rather you read and say nothing than feel stressed/guilty for not commenting.

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

...hm. Considering the majority of my fics are either unfinished or prompted oneshots, I don't have a lot with angsty endings. I do have a lot with angst, though. Angsty ending? Hm. I'm going to have to go with I'm Gone, Gone, Gone, Gone.

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

Again with the ending thing 😂 It doesn't help that a lot of them are open-ended. And what kind of happy are we talking? Happy😁 or Happy 😏? But also you've asked one of the most indecisive people on the planet. The last one was easier. The whole thing is angst. (And I generally try to stick to happier/hopeful endings.) This, though? Pass. Someone else pick.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Not on AO3? But AO3 is also bigger, and I don't post a lot. I live in my dark little corner on the interweb. I think most of the hate I've gotten was on FFN, and even then, I don't get a lot. Perks of writing for big fandoms, updating inconsistently, and generally having shorter fics. You get lost in the mix. (This is not a brag, but it's also not a complaint. I'm happy in my corner. Well...I'm content. Not ecstatic, not suffering.)

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

Lots of smut. Does it all get posted? No 😂 Half, no, more than half of it doesn't even get written. You can guess on the kind. I have things that I won't write, but I feel like those are pretty limited. If I don't know it and it isn't a limit, I would probably at least try. (Ex: my most popular fic is a threesome, which I've never had, with a hemipene, which I've also never dealt with (I mean in the toy sense, I know human people do not have hemis.))

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

I don't write a lot of them. I'm just dipping my toes into writing them (for now, solely Maribat). I've had a shit ton of ideas for them (years ago I had one for a Doctor Who x H2O: Just Add Water fic, but that remains an idea in my OneDrive)

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

If I have, I don't know about it. I'm a singular grain of sand in a whole beach of authors. I'm harder to find, and I'm certainly not well-written enough for it. (At least, not to me.)

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope :)

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

Nope. Sounds scary. :)

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

As a general life rule, I don't have favorites lmao. Mostly because I'm indecisive as hell. Minimally because then something will be left out.

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

Gonna steal TalksToSelf's answer and go with: All of them 😭

16. What are your writing strengths?

Porn. Porn and Depression. Angst. Occasionally fluff. Mostly Porn, though.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Flow. Word variation. Consistency. Inspiration/Motivation. I could go on, but those are enough for now.

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

Mostly, I'll write in italics/bold/(not quotes but I'm blanking... the two different apostrophes???)'these' and indicate what it was spoken in, but if it's a singular word/phrase, like a nickname, I normally just use the word itself, with an explanation for it at some point in the fic.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Austin & Ally

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

I do not have a favorite child. I love and hate them all equally.

No pressure tagging @hamsteriffic @miraculouslymundane @littlemourningstar @izanae @boldlyanxious ... I'm done. Someone else take over tagging people.

[sweetestpopcorn]

Hey. I discovered you on ao3 by your excellent fic the blacks and the Greens. Fantastic 💯💯💯

As a fellow daemyra fan, you have fulfilled all my shipping wishes. Cannot thank you enough. Everytime I feel depressed I read your fics and it makes me feel so much better. 😍

I was on twitter and found that people are supporting the Greens. I was like whatttt!!!!! ☠️.

Even worse they are bashing daemyra. Like WTF. if anyone is to be blamed it's Otto, alicent and ugghhh criston Cole. I've been bashed for criticising them. Before this I didn't even know that green supporters could exist. Like who in their right mind would support greens at all. And now this HoTD will demonize Rhaenyra, I'm sure of it. The castings are wayyy off. Not bashing anyone but Rhaenyra does not look like any sort of delight and idk what to say about the Daemon actor😭. I'm sure they mist be great actors but looks wise, no. I honestly thought the actor for Otto looked wayy better than demon's. What are your thoughts on it? Am I the only one demented? Have you received hate for supporting blacks or not supporting greens.

Hey there!

Awww thank you so much! Truly reading this makes me very happy, though you have to blame me writing that fic on me not having (good) Daemyra fics to read XD because I had never written fanfic before. Alas, the one true OTP of Fire and Blood and the hottest couple EVER needed someone to write about them so I was like:

Regarding twitter, a very dear friend of mine who also writes fics (though in a completely different fandom) told me (almost begged me) to never go to twitter. She said it was a totally new level of insanity there and gave me a few examples. Afterwards I made the (wise) decision of not going there. EVER.

I have spoken on my thoughts regarding REDACTED SHOW it's just two actually its:

1- No.

2- Hahahaahahah 😂😂😂

I actually have received very little hate in the almost three years I have spent working on my fanfictions, believe it or not. The two times I had haters/disgusting people was this hum... *insert your choice of insult here* calling me a paedophile (I laughed a lot, that truly put a smile on my face the whole day), and this *insert choice of insult here* who was recommending another fic to one of my readers on my comment section - super polite, yes I know - and used the following words regarding Rhaenyra "Daemon turned her into a whore" 🥰😍. #feminism 

As far as Green fans I have had like one or two reading my fic - that I know of. They were nice and seemed to like it. Tbh though, black fan, green fan, or neutral, you can either think Daemyra is hot af or you can be wrong :3 as long as they are polite I mean... stan whomever you like I don't care. And tbh I have seen a lot of so called "Rhaenyra fans" and "Black stans" say way more disgusting things - about Rhaenyra - than Greens fans or neutrals.

This is what this fandom does to me... I defend Green stans #f_ckmylife.

ALSO can anyone believe I wrote a Rhaegar/Lyanna fic and I got 0 hate comments? That was the shock of my life, ngl.

GOT and everything that came up until now regarding REDACTED SHOW taught me all I needed to know. They destroy the asoiaf material and George doesn’t care. No hate to him, I have never been offered millions of dollars. Maybe in his place I wouldn’t care either. I want to believe I would still care, but I think we tend to try and think the best about ourselves, so likely I would be a sell out too.

I also try to stay in my lane both on tumblr and on ao3. Like in my own blogs and fics I write whatever I want, but I very rarely respond to people, and I try not to get into fights online because it’s like a mud fight with a pig. The pig gets happy and you will get dirty.

That being said yes, I have read so much disgusting things written about Rhaenyra and the Blacks I just... sure why not? Tbh fair though, I have read some disgusting things about the Greens too, though trust me they do not come close to what is written about the Blacks and most of all about Rhaenyra.

Then again, I have seen Dany called a whore, slaver, white supremacist, rapist, racist, people wishing she would die/get raped, mad, cruel, compared to Joffrey etc etc... so it really doesn’t surprise me this fandom would go after Rhaenyra as they do.

While you are doing the Seven’s work by defending our Queen of Fashion and of the Seven Kingdoms aka Rhaebae, for your sake I would advise you to stay out of those fights and not give those people the time of day. Try to create a safe place for yourself online. Block whatever people and tags you need to, and surround yourself with positive content. It’s what I try to do <3 

As for myself, I will continue - to the best of my habilites - to give those who search for it Daemyra fics. I have tons of ideas and I am actually thinking of doing a poll of a oneshot people would like to see about them regarding any scene in canon or an au people would like to read. I will see if people would be interested when I update the next chapter XD 

Thank you again for your words. It’s a pleasure to write for someone like you! 

All the best!

XOXO, 

Gossip Popcorn.
