Fanfic Author Interview

thanks for tagging me, @theriveroflight! it's cool that you remember me. i hope this is entertaining to read.

Your favorite work you’ve written (or just one you want to give a shout-out to).

first of all, i want y'all to know that i often have a hard time picking favorites, so don't expect many direct answers. this definitely includes favorite work because i like each of them for certain reasons. instead, i'll just give some shout-outs. one i really enjoyed writing was To (Not) Make a Move (which was actually a gift for River!), Best Foot Forward was a fun departure from my typical OT3, honing in on monochrome, i have so many ideas for Jubilee that i plan to someday return to, and lastly, i want to give a special shout-out to Three Huntresses and a Child, which still surprises me by being my most popular fic to date. i still have the sequel planned!

Your favorite fic title that you’ve come up with.

i feel like titles aren't my strong suit, but i'm going to go with Best Foot Forward, To (Not) Make a Move, and [redacted] for a future fic i can't discuss yet.

How do you get inspiration to write?

what inspires me is everything and everyone around me. i know it sounds cheesy, but it's true. i feel like the best way to really get a satisfactory answer to this question is to have an extended conversation with me. there's an entire world that's inspiring to me, and i can't fit that in one answer. but maybe you can if we chat :)

Your favorite genre/subgenre of fic to write.

do AUs count as either? if not, i do enjoy fantasy. and i guess romance lol.

Do you have other hobbies?

i mainly just chill. i like reading, listening to music, playing games (Hades) on the Switch i recently got, stuff like that.

A fun fact about you that a lot of people may not know.

i'm glad that i finally get to share this, but i've been part of orchestra, choir, and band in school. it's why i'm excited for that band AU that will eventually be completed!

Pick one character to self-project onto, go!

it's always been Weiss Schnee...

Favorite genre of music.

i don't have an answer to this question. i listen to all kinds, so it's just whatever i like listening to. feel free to send me recommendations and/or make playlists. i would be honored.

Your favorite singer/band.

see above.

And finally, how has your experience in fandom been?

i'm not very active by choice, but the interaction i have gotten from people has been nice. i appreciate every interaction on my fics, especially since i haven't posted in over a month. despite that, people have still found me and my writing. i appreciate each and every one of you. <3 i hope to finish something soon!

i'm going to tag @texanredrose and @alyssiainwonderland again :)

A late @rwbyrarepairweek day 3: scars round robin! This one is bees schnees.

@lightsaroundyourvanity because you were curious 👀

CHECKMATING WEEK PROMPTS!

Aliza u are far more powerful than me this looks 💖

Thank you all for your patience while mods sort everything out, but now we finally have dates and prompts for Checkmating Week!

Checkmating Week will be from the 5th of October to the 12th of October!

Two prompts are given per day, so that participants can choose between prompts, complete both, merge two, or skip days if they wish! The prompts are as follows:

Day 1 - Enemies to lovers/Secret library time.

Day 2 - Tea and Coffee/Royalty AU.

Day 3 - Hurt-Comfort/Atlas Ball.

Day 4 - Hanahaki/Childhood friends.

Day 5 - Nightmares/First kiss.

Day 6 - Wings/In the rain.

Day 7 - Rebellion/Chessboard.

Day 8 - Free day!

Rules:

No NSFW. Heavy gore and sexual content is not permitted. Some of us are minors, guys. Light gore is allowed, but please remember to tag these posts accordingly.

Bullying will not be tolerated. Hate speech is wrong, and we don't want it near Checkmating week at all. Bigots begone.

Posting early and late is allowed. However, we will not be reblogging until the day of the post. We will continue reblogging until 2 weeks after Checkmating Week finishes.

Please tag all posts so we can find them in the tags (#checkmatingweek2021) and include the blog so we can see your posts! (@checkmatingweek2021)

Asks can be sent directly to the blog, or to the mods (@greenbeany and @aliza---e). We will attempt to answer every question you guys have.

You may submit posts in basically any form. Art, edits, fics, text posts, cosplay, anything PG is allowed!

Side ships are allowed as long as Checkmating is the main focus of the submission!

Thank you for reading! We can't wait to see all submissions!

The first of the @rwbyrarepairweek round robins. Day 2: Stay/Promise feat. Sunflakes.

@theriveroflight ➡ @stellarfoam ➡ @archester-creations ➡ @unsteadyshade

[unsteadyshade]

anonymously tell me what my specialty as a fanfiction writer is

[unsteadyshade]

WIP titles ask game (i’m doing this from my phone so it might look wonky. but i’m too excited to wait so)

Rules: Share the titles of each of your current WIPs, and, if your followers ask, share a preview of the one that sounds the most interesting. Send this on to mutuals who you are curious what they’re working on.

i was tagged by @theriveroflight for this. thanks for remembering me, friend! this made me realize that i rarely title fics before finishing, so i’m just going to post vague summaries. i am working on stuff, but it’s been so busy that i haven’t finished anything or had time to post.

this first part is actually all for bees schnees week. the drafts exist; they’re just not done!

-(AU) my beloved almost complete band AU…the art for it has been in my drafts for over a month, and i want to finish so i can share with the world!

-(Tropes) fake dating!!! i still really want to write this!! it will happen…

-(Family) part 2 of bees schnees with a child, which I didn't think I'd be continuing but,,,,

-(Suffering Weiss) wives debate over favorite drink. judged by Ruby, who picks Blake to everyone's surprise. leads to impressed yet annoyed spouses. this is by far the most ridiculous idea of the week, which is saying something.

-(Firsts) 1st date?? going wrong yet right?? send ideas for things to include if y’all want.

-(Competition) beach volleyball set,,,somewhere lol

aside from these, i somehow convinced myself to sign up for a Big Bang. ironically enough, i actually do have a title for that. too bad i can’t say anything lol.

monochrome week is coming up, and i actually have ideas for all of that too. feel free to ask about any of the days.

i don’t really have writing mutuals?? but I’ll tag @alyssiainwonderland and @texanredrose, along with anyone else who wants to do this. thanks for reading this mess!

Wedding Planner!Blake and Miserable Bride Weiss

[unsteadyshade]

If anyone is looking for an artist to check out, here's one for ya, their art is wonderful

[unsteadyshade]

Showing Off

Inspired by prompts submitted to @unsteadyshade on tumblr (here), that I reblogged earlier, or AO3 (here). Also, yes, I’m very much American but I decided to use the non-American lingo in regards to soccer here. Don’t look at me expecting logic, my friends, I just do what the winds of whimsy tell me.

—

Blake pulled the hotel door shut behind her, following after her teammate and best friend who was further down the hall and carrying their tote bags. While she didn’t hold the same superstitious beliefs, Yang swore up and down they’d lose unless they brought along their ‘lucky’ practice ball; after going back to retrieve it, the woman seemed satisfied and started walking towards the elevator while Blake caught up. “This is ridiculous, you know that right?”

“Hey, don’t sass me; we’ve never lost a road game when we’ve had the ball,” Yang said, already wearing her keeper jersey, the material stretched a bit thin over her muscled frame. It had seen better days but, much like the ball, the woman refused to replace it, especially during their run up to the championship. “A little extra luck can’t hurt anyone. Except the other team, I guess.”

“It can make us late, though,” she said, one of her ears flicking back as one of the doors they passed opened and closed- had to be other patrons of the hotel, seeing as the rest of their team was already downstairs by the bus. “Which would mean we forfeit.”

“We’re not running that late,” Yang replied, throwing a grin her way. Then, lilac eyes were drawn behind them and lingered a moment before her lips pulled into a very specific smirk. Blake knew that smirk- it was the ‘oh, I’ve got an idea, you might not like it but you’re gonna do it’ expression, because aside from being one of the best keepers in the region, Yang Xiao Long was also ridiculously persuasive. Dangerously so, in fact. “Hey. Toss me the ball.”

“Your hands are full.”

“Wasn’t going to use my hands.”

Blake narrowed her eyes, vividly remembering the last time someone tried doing agility drills down a hotel hallway, and picked up on the subtle look behind them. After a few more steps, she turned to say something about the game to Yang as an excuse to glance behind them. And then, it all made sense.
