Ten Questions for Writers

Thank you @artsyunderstudy, @roomwithanopenfire, @emeryhall, and @run-for-chamo-miles for the tags! I am a wee baby, so I wasn't sure I should answer. But I've loved all the asks going around (the Top 5 fics posts were great and my TBR is so long now!), so I figured why not?

How many works do you have on AO3? 3

What’s your total AO3 word count? 53,184 (I posted my first fic ever for EGF just this past February, so I guess that's good?)

What fandoms do you write for? Carry On always and forever

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? Yes! As everyone has already stated, responding to comments is how you build community. If I hadn't gone back and forth in comments, I would never have found the Discord or made so many amazing fandom friends. BUT ALSO! I had no idea how AMAZING comments were when all I did was binge fic and kudos. Then, I posted Kill Em With Kindness, got overwhelmingly nice responses, and now I make a point of ALWAYS replying and--more importantly---commenting on fics written by others. (This is a blanket apology to all the lovely writers whose fics I read and did not comment on before. But hopefully I've gushed at you since then in my responses to YOUR comments on my fics, or in person, or on tumblr, or on Discord...I hope to someday go back and comment on a re-read to make up for it!)

Have you ever had a fic stolen? No?

Have you ever co-written a fic before? Also no, but I'd love to! My first three fics were 100% me. With "Baz in a Bubble," I've bounced ideas around with anyone who will listen, including outlining help from @hushed-chorus and plot brainstorming with @thewholelemon and @talentpiper11. Since it is a full AU not based on an existing work, the drafting has moved MUCH SLOWER than my previous three fics combined and figuring out "what's next" has been harder, so collaboration has significantly helped! The story went from one where Simon was more of a plot mechanism for Baz's growth to having a fully developed Simon with his own subplot and meaningful relationships that complement the SnowBaz of it all. That wouldn't have happened without collaboration, so I imagine co-writing is an even better experience---especially because I second guess every word I write. I'm sure having a partner would help with that!

What’s your all-time favorite ship? SnowBaz owns my soul

What are your writing strengths? I've been told my dialogue and pacing are good. Maybe also writing sweet moments? Literally the #1 word people use to describe my plots/characters in comments is "adorable." Not sure how to feel about that one... In any case, I am still so new I am only just developing strengths.

What are your writing weaknesses? I want to be able to write with a punch, if that makes sense? I think there are so many gifted writers in this fandom who have such a beautiful way with words that they can create a whole moment in a single four word sentence. I am verbose, which waters down a moment and makes me feel like my stories are narration heavy. I also have trouble describing things precisely with new or different words so I am not constantly repeating myself. Precision of language and an extensive vocabulary are sort of required to pack a linguistic punch. Finally, smut. Love to read it, physically hurts to write it. (I blame the residual Catholic guilt...) But I am committed to learning so my next EGF is not described as "adorable."

First fandom you wrote for? Carry On. Why write anything else?

Not sure who else may have already done this, but here are some no pressure tags: @hushed-chorus, @bookish-bogwitch, @thewholelemon, @cutestkilla,

@shrekgogurt, @you-remind-me-of-the-babe

Powers Explained AU

I was bored one day and decided to look at some Superjail fan art. That is when this AU popped into my head and hasn’t left me since. After a couple days of brainstorming and writing I was mostly done. I have been inspired by a lot of different Superjail fanfic writers and artists. Unfortunately, I am really bad at remembering who I was inspired by. Anyways, it was later that I decided to get a Tumblr account and post some of the things that I write. This is the first time I have ever done this. I hope whoever reads this enjoys it. The meat and potatoes of this post is under the cut. 

Thank you and enjoy!

The Warden is the child of Chaos and the grandson of Order.

                                           Character Sheets

Chaos- It has no true form or gender. Its personality is very similar to the Warden’s. Likes to be entertained and is enthralled with every new, spontaneous, imaginative, and weird thing the universe has to offer. Hates to be bored and will cause mischief to satisfy itself. It is at odds with Order and likes to annoy or one-up the other being to the best of its abilities. Very open minded and accepting as long as it's fun is not disturb (basically anything goes as long as it does not mess with Chaos). Genuinely cares for its offspring, but can be easily distracted and forgets that mortals perceive time differently (i.e. time means nothing to Chaos, so being gone for a hundred years or so would seem like a short stroll to the being). Has a temper if it does not get what it wants and will stop at nothing to complete its goals (such as getting the undivided love and attention of its child as well as get a companion to meander across the universe with from time to time). It can also be very patient should it be determined enough (though, if the payout was not worth the wait, Chaos will be enraged). Is able to completely negate the Warden’s powers (anything he creates or destroys, Chaos can destroy or re-create thus canceling his powers out). When it discovered that Order had a child with a mortal, it decided to seduce him just to mess with Order (later decided to have a child of its own with him).

Order-  It has no true form or gender. It is calm, collective, patient, responsible, serious, and very proper. Hates when things are out of order or chaotic, but will not show its displeasure with a violent outbursts, just a cold and intense fury followed by a swift fitting punishment. Greatly dislikes Chaos and tries its best to stay far away from the other being. Greatly cares for its family, but is to dedicated to its tasks to stay for long (stayed till its child was grown and successful, then left to carry out its duty, but checks on its child from time to time as well as being mindful of a mortals perception of time). It decided to visit it’s son every ten years for one month, but right around the second time it was to visit Chaos started to cause a lot of trouble, more so than usual, which Order had to clean up. Being the responsible being that it was Order visited its son long enough to tell his that it would not be able to stay for long nor visit him for twenty years (right before it left it  learned that it has a grandson and its daughter-in-law had gone missing). By the time it was able checked up on its son, he was dead and its grandson was just out of high school (after checking his grades and looking at him through magical means believed that he would be ok by himself). When it finally met it’s grandson again, it was very disappointed and somewhat blamed itself for the Wardens behavior since it had assumed that he was a mature and responsible adult without meeting him face to face (it also decided to correct that mistake by trying to take him under its wing and teach him discipline, patience, responsibility, and maturity, much to Chaos’s ire). It can bind the Warden’s powers, thus leaving him powerless (Superjail wouldn’t really be affected. His powers are there, he just can't reach them). 

Grandfather (Wilfredo MacGillivray Warford)- a very fair, successful, and orderly judge. Caught Order’s eye with his revolutionary methods of keeping peace and order in his town. He then kept the being interested enough to keep watching till he gained its respects, which is where it decided to grace him with its presence and bless him with a child (he is infertile and wanted a child of his own). His ‘wife’ ‘died’ two years after their son became a successful prison warden and began to build prisons in places that had a high crime rate, but no place to put the convicts. He died a few weeks after his grandson was born.

The Prison Mogul (Walton Oonagh Warford)- Is very OCD about order and used to be very patient. He wants everything to be done in an orderly fashion, but is prone to violent outbursts when something isn’t just so or follows his ideal order. The reason he wanted to be a prison warden was so that he could punish and get rid of the people that broke the law and caused chaos in society as well as put them to better use. When his ‘wife’ disappeared, it threw his entire world into chaos and horribly triggered his OCD to a maddening degree. When he finally got some semblance of order back into his life, he was left with a very short fuse (he really wished he had inherited his mother or father’s temper rather than his grandfather’s). The new order he had reached lead to his son being treated more like an employee/prisoner than his child. The main thing he inherited from his ‘mother’ was the ability to enforce his order upon the world (this meant that he was able to subdue the Wardens powers when he was young, thus stopping the Warden from affecting reality). When he died the Warden’s powers were freed, but was only used subconsciously thanks to his father constantly bashing what was and wasn’t possible into the Warden's head. While his ‘wife’ was still around the Warden was able to use his powers freely since ‘hers’ stopped ‘her’ Husbands powers from binding the Warden’s (though, he didn’t know that). He also ages slowly and could have lived for three and a half thousand years, but put an illusion over himself so as to not alert normal people to his demi-primordial self and his death was so fast he could not have saved himself (his ‘mother’ made it so that he would aged like a normal person until he reached his prime were it slowed down to a snail's pace. He does not have eternal youth, just slow aging, and he is a bit easier to kill then his almost unkillable son).

The Warden (Warren Carlisle Oziel Massimo Warford the 2nd)- inherited many things from his ‘mother’, but not as much from his father. Is ¾ primordial and very powerful. His physical appearance is actually an unconscious illusion brought about by the knowledge that he is supposed to be growing older (like how superman does not need to eat, sleep, or breath since he can survive with just the light of a yellow sun, but does because he was brought up thinking he was suppose to). He is actually supposed to look younger than he already is (he’s supposed to look like a toddler, his ‘mother’ did not believe it was important enough to temporarily speed up his ageing). Has eternal youth, but not immortality, just really hard to kill. He ages really slowly and won't stop till he reaches his prime (when he is a thousand years old). Can bend reality to his will, create whatever he wants with just a thought, do whatever he wants, can set up laws or rules that any mortal being must follow in his area, and create his own little reality (his ‘mother’ and ‘grandmother’ are the only ones that can fight him with little difficulty should he fight seriously). Real form is two feet and ten point five inches, which means he looks like a 2 and a half year old. The dream machine episode showed a fraction of what the Warden can do if he consciously uses his powers. Superjail is actually a construct of the Wardens powers and is connected to him on a subconscious level and reflects his emotional status should they be potent enough, if the Warden ever became truly aware of his powers his connection to Superjail and all that resides there would be strengthened immensely (he would be everywhere and nowhere at once). He hates his full name and will go to great lengths to make sure no one finds out (he finds it very embarrassing). If he ever truly tried to remember his ‘mother’ the only thing that would come up clear as day would be ‘her’ presence and a nearly unintelligible voice bringing him comfort.
