Reblog if you write fic and people can inbox you random-ass questions about your stories, itemized number lists be damned.

[writingtoomuchtrash]

A - Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.

B - A pairing–platonic, romantic or sexual–that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind.

C - A ship you have never liked and probably never will.

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t.

E - Have you added anything cracky/hilarious to your fandom? If so, what?

F - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom?

G - Have you ever had an OTP? If so, do you remember your first one? Who was in it?

H - What is your favorite source text for fandom stuff (e.g., TV shows, movies, books, anime, Western animation, etc.)?

I - Has Tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why?

J - Name a fandom you didn’t think about until you saw it all over Tumblr. (You don’t have to care about it or follow it; it just has to be something that Tumblr made you aware of.)

K - What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc?

L - Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves. (Characters you’re neutral about are fair game, as are characters you merely dislike. Characters that you absolutely loathe with the fire of ten thousand suns are exempt, as there is no point in giving yourself an aneurysm over a character that you hate.)

M - Name a character that you’d like to have for a friend.

N - Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice).

O - Choose a song at random. Which ship or character does it remind you of?

P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas).

Q - A fandom you’ve abandoned and why.

R - Which friendship/platonic relationship is your favorite in fandom?

S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon (prompts optional but encouraged)

T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending? 

U - Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.

V - Which character do you relate to most?

W - A trope which you are virtually certain to hate in any fandom.

X - A trope which you are almost certain to love in any fandom.

Y - What are your secondhand fandoms (i.e., fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)?

Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go! (Prompts optional but encouraged.)

Finally got around to posting all the stories I wrote for CBL. Feel free to ask any questions about what I had planned or what this was all about

update

Hey ya'll, work killed me for a bit and with fetrans week, I was unable to keep with a biweekly upload. However, I will try it again and take the next two weeks to build up some short stories.

Also I will be purging the askbox, it doesn't have many asks in there, but a clean slate would help a lot.

I see you write for fe:a! Could I get some Chrom/Robin/Sumia? I would forever appreciate it

The candle was burning low by the time Robin looked at it, the dimming light pulling them from their work. They knew the candles had been new, Lissa had gifted it to them a few days ago. Now it was a stump, maybe only an inch tall now.

The world was slowly filled in around them. They could hear the ticking of a clock in the background, the only noise except for their breathing. A chill has settled into the air and their back ached from leaning over their desk. They’d lost track of time again, looking over their shoulder and squinting at the clock told them that. It was close to midnight, everyone but the night guard was asleep now.

They looked back down at their work, blinking slowly. They still had much work to do and not enough hours to get it all done. They rubbed a hand across their face, sighing befre grabbing their quill. One more hour and then they’ll go to bed and hopefully, neither Chrom or Sumia noticed the late arrival.

All hope of that was dashed away with the knock and a soft voice calling out for them.

“Robin? Are you still here?” Sumia peaked her head around the door, holding out a candlestick to see into the room. For a traitorous second, they thought of lying to Sumia just to get more work done. But then the thought of her searching the castle in a panic, waking everyone up to look for Robin when they were right here made them banish the thought. That and the thought of Sumia hurting herself with so few awake caused their stomach to flip.

“Over her love,” they sighed, setting their quill down as Sumia tiptoed over. She set her own candle down next to Robin’s, pulling them into a hug. Her nightgown was cool against Robin’s skin, a soft purple that barely reached her thighs. Robin hummed into the contact, blinking a bit before Sumia pulled away.

“You must be tired. Come to bed, Chrom is waiting.” Sumia’s voice was quiet, lulling theim as she grabbed their hands, pulling them up to their feet. She handed them her candlestick, taking a moment to clean Robin’s desk before linking their arms.

“Come one.”

Sumia led them down the halls of the castle, greeting any guards they saw. Robin just followed along, nodding a head at anyone they passed, but the motion was quickly draining. They didn’t realize how tired they were and they were grateful that Sumia was there for them to lean on. And that she didn’t complain about their weight.

Soon they were standing outside their bedroom, the door cracked open from when Sumia snuck out. Light flickered from the crack, alerting Robin that Chrom was awake. Sumia wasn’t bothered at all, pushing the door open and dragging Robin inside, almost throwing them into Chrom’s arm. He held them close as they collapsed, Chrom’s embrace was warm after how cold the castle had been. Sumia closed the door behind them, taking the candlestick from Robin and setting it on the nightstand. She quickly approached the two, hugging Robin from behind as the three of them navigated their way to the bed.

“Did you take the long way back?” Chrom asked with a chuckle. Robin didn’t know or care, but the giggle from Sumai answered for them.

“Maybe~ I had to make sure Robin was tired before we got here,” Sumia answered, giggling before letting out a yelp. Her grip tightened around Robin as she slipped, taking a moment to right herself before loosening said grip.

“Oops, sorry,” She mumbled, pressing a kiss to Robin’s cheek. They let out a hum, leaning more on Chrom before he collapsed on the bed, taking both of them down with him.

“Let's lay down before someone gets hurt.” Chrom chuckled, earning a lip smack from Robin as Sumia laughed.

“Mmmm, not funny,” they slurred out, rolling off Chrom as Sumia collapsed on his other side, still laughing. “I’m not the on;y one who’s tired.”

“Who knows, I might kick someone and cause a bruise during the night. Knowing my luck,” Sumia said after her laughter subsided.

“That’s why Robin’s in the middle,”

“Hey wait! I bruise easily!” Robin pushed themselves onto their hands, glaring down at Chrom as he chuckled.

“Well nothing else stops you from sneaking out, so you’re in the center until we find a different situation.

Robin pouted at the jab, hiding their face in Chrom’s chest as he stroked their hair. They could hear Sumia move around, the room growing dark with each candle that is snuffed out.

“I know you worry Robin and there is a lot of work that needs to be done,” Chrom started.

“But you still need to rest. You can’t work if you don’t get any sleep.” Sumia finished, the bed dipping slightly as she climbed back on and planted a kiss into Robin’s hair. “Let up help you rest at least.”

They hummed under the contact, already familiar with this song and dance. The two waited for their response, already knowing what it was going to be.

“I’ll try, no promise though.” Robin heard both of them let out a sigh, probably sharing a look before they spoke again. “This is nice and all, but I would like to be under the covers while I sleep.”

Chrom snorted underneath them, shifting around so they were resting on the pillows. He tugged the sheets back, Sumia climbing into the bed and plastering herself to Robin’s back, both humming at the contact as Chrom tucked them all in.

“Better?”

“Much.”

“Good.”

@Fanfic writers:

My friend send me this link, is a series on a profile on Ao3 (tumblr) that has different tutorials to insert things to fanfics via html code, I thought I would share bc it’s really cool

Lists of tutorials:

How to make images fit in mobile browsers

This is a tutorial/live example on how to make large images fit on mobile browsers but remain normal size on desktop browsers.

How to mimic letters, fliers, and stationery without using images

This is a tutorial/live example on how to mimic the look of letters, fliers, and stationery (as well as other forms of written media) without using images. For all your epistolary fic needs.

How to make a “choose your own adventure” Fic

This is a tutorial/live example on how to create a "Choose Your Own Adventure" fic. While this has been explained before (see here), this particular tutorial shows you how to use a work skin to hide the next parts from the reader until they click through to get to them.

How to make linked footnotes on Ao3

This is a live example of how an author can create linked footnotes in their work with only a little bit of HTML and no workskins required. This is best viewed by clicking "Entire Work". While I've included the actual coding in bold and italic once you click "Hide Creator's Style", there's a more detailed explanation here.

How to change text on Ao3 when the cursor is hovering over it (or clicked on mobile)

This a tutorial/live example on how to have text change or appear once a cursor is hovering over it. Helpful for pop-up spoilers, language translations, quick author's notes, etc.

How to mimic author’s notes and Kudos/Comment buttons

Anonymous on tumblr: do you have a skin that would mimic the author’s notes and review/kudos buttons section from the end of a fic? the desired effect being that the fic could go on after the “end” of the fic, so after the author’s notes and review/kudos buttons

Here's a tutorial/live example to do just that, with some of the buttons actually functioning. I'll explain more inside!

How to wrap text around images

This is a tutorial/live example on how to align images to the left or right of the screen and have text wrap around them.

How to mimic email windows

This is a tutorial/live example on how to mimic email windows on AO3 without the need to use images.

This is a tutorial/live example on how to mimic iOS text messages on AO3 without the need to use images. There's also a chapter on how to have emojis displayed on AO3 as well.

How to make Customized page deviders

Bored with the default page dividers? This is a tutorial/live example on how customize your page dividers with no images needed (though I do show you how you could use images if you wanted to do such a thing).

How to make invisible text (That can be highlighted)

This is a live example how to make invisible text that can only be seen by highlighting the text. Tutorial is included in text, and you can always leave comments about questions you may have.

MOBILE USERS: Sadly, this probably won't work for you, since highlighting in a mobile browser is different than web. I've tried correcting this, but have yet to find a solution.

How to make a rounded playlist

Original coding and design is from layouttest. I make no claims for it, just tweaked it so it will work on AO3.

Hello! I’m working on some personal headcanon edits for fe:Fates and I want to know any personal headcanons you have for characters. I might add some to my own personal headcanon since some characters don’t interest me as others and as such, have little going on. I’ll provide credits if I use any headcanons

[writingtoomuchtrash]

PSA: bot comments are taking over ao3

The above examples have been provided with the authors' permission to demonstrate what these look like.

Basic rundown:

They are all 3 sentences long

Perfect grammar, capitalization, and punctuation

Like absolutely flawless English teacher-style writing with only a single exclamation mark, ever

No mentions whatsoever of character names, settings, situations, or anything that could be tied to the story

The usernames may be identical to people who exist on ao3, but the name is not clickable, and no profile is associated with it EXCEPT when you directly search for that name. What this means: the comments come from an unregistered (not logged in) reader, bots scrape the site for real usernames, attach that to the comment, and post

Please spread the word about this so authors can filter comments and report them accordingly

There has been some speculation about why this is happening at all, and the best guess is that this is a feature that AI-training story-scraping tools are implementing to try and make their browsing traffic look legitimate

After the news of Camilla's disappearance, Laslow worries for his wife and best friend. However, while fighting against Corrin's army, he is given news that sways his loyalties.

[writingtoomuchtrash]

Spent a week on a sort of vacation and worked on some edits. I have some in the works, but they are more then just color palette swaps so they’ll get their own post eventually.
