Okay weird 3AM thing but I love your username because occasionally I read it and crash out thinking about it. What if I’m mixing up major and mayor? Are you a big fan of soap? Are you a fan of some governor named Soap? Are you the soap with a major in fan? What are you????? What does it mean?!?!?!

Ok, now the story behind this name is a little weird, but not as weird as some of those possibilities that you presented so here we go:

Basically one of the main reasons for the name is because I am shockingly bad at picking usernames for myself (as you could probably tell by my old AO3 username). I genuinely struggle with it and therefore, I tend to pick the first thing that pops into my head and be like 'ok, yeah, that's fine' . . . because I can't think of anything better once I think of the first one no matter how much I'd want to.

And when it comes to why I picked 'majorsoapfan' in particular is that back when I was first setting up my tumblr like . . . years ago at this point, I was actually really into tv soaps at the time. Mainly Hollyoaks, but I would also watch other soaps like Eastenders and Emmerdale. I was a really big fan and so when the name 'majorsoapfan' popped into my head, I was like 'yes! That's perfect!'

And that's how I became 'majorsoapfan', nothing too crazy to be honest.

But I guess in the name of honesty I suppose that the username is a bit false these days as a few years after setting up my tumblr, when I was studying for Leaving Cert I slowly stopped watching those soaps as I just didn't have the time to keep up with them. These days, I might catch an episode every now and then and stay vaguely aware of what's going on, but I wouldn't call myself a soap fan at this point let alone a major one.

I really should change the name to something that fits me a little better at this point, but I'm rather attached to it now and so I don't want to change it unless I've found the perfect replacement name and well . . . like I said, I'm no good at that.

Hope that answer helps! Sorry it took so long to answer.

Can I ask 1, 17 and 19 in the fic ask game please?

ask game

favorite fic you wrote this year

Hmmm, this is hard! I like most of my fics for various reasons but I also get stuck on their flaws/not being exactly what I set out to make. I've been advised to say Reader-Response to advertise the mad science Felix mpreg baby fic where you get to reader-insert as a bystander to the whole affair.

longest completed fic you wrote this year

Close Your Eyes at ~50,000 words. It was my first fic of the year too. Mostly I just wrote oneshots.

any new fics to start next year

- I'm writing a fic about Felix dying (haha what's new) might call it Curtain Call. It's distinctly different from other stories where Felix dies though, I swear! It might be a multichapter fic. The first part is written in Agrippina Sickle's POV. - I kind of want to write a fic for a different fandom where I give some other cringefail guy a friend (I've mentioned this on the Corso Creatures server if people are on there). That fic is untitled though, and I only have a vague idea. (for those curious, the fandom for this fic would be dragon age: veilguard. if someone who isn't on the server can guess the cringefail guy, I'll be surprised but not too surprised. It makes sense for me.)

Thanks for the ask!

Be careful of Asexuals y'all, I heard they aren't fucking around

[majorsoapfan]

As a fanfiction writer, sometimes I worry about not being recommended by other writers to other readers or not being liked amongst them. Or that I don't inspire people. I don't just want to write for myself, but I also want to write to give back to other writers.

💕 stay with me pretty pleeaaseee 🥺

Hi, I am so sorry that it took so long! I swear that that wasn't supposed to happen! I wanted to answer this so much sooner, but unfortunately the chapter itself didn't want to co-operate (it didn't like me and now I don't like it). But here's a little snippet and I'm about to post the chapter itself soon, so I hope that that makes up for it!

“What have we done?” Persephone asked quietly.

“Saved lives,” she answered.

And committed treason.

But if they got caught then the consequences were going to be rather dire to say the least. It was making Lysistrata rather fearful. Making her wonder just why she had done it. Done any of it.

But then she thought about how fearful Wovey had been when they had first come across her and she had been begging them not to hurt Bobbin. How Bobbin, Coral and Reaper had all put aside their mistrust of them because they had thought that doing so would be more beneficial to the survival chances of their younger District partners. She thought about the fear that had struck her when she had no idea about what had happened to Jessup after he had disappeared from the screen yesterday. The feeling of relief and joy and hope that had consumed her when she had found him again.

Of just how good it felt to feel his arms around her.

I'm rewatching The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes instead of studying (as you do) and I'm at the part where Lucky Flickerman is getting the Academy Students to sit down before the games start. He tells them, "smile, it's why we have teeth."

And this strikes me because it's ridiculous and so fittingly Captial. I feel like it really hammers home the difference between the Capital and the Districts, especially in this moment.

The tributes are in the arena, about to start fighting for their lives and to them? Their teeth are weapons. It makes me think of Enobaria, didn't she rip someone's throat out with her teeth?

In the Districts, their teeth are for survival too. More basic things like eating, but when we know food is so scarce in the Districts, it becomes that much more important.

But in the Capital? Yeah, teeth are for smiling and looking pretty. There's poorer people in the Capital that are struggling to survive and going hungry still. Coriolanus is a good example of that. But even then he's working so hard to keep up appearances.

The Capital of all places is ironically the place where you functionally need teeth the least, but because of everyone wanting to keep up appearances and putting their best smile forward their teeth mean everything to them and their images. Only the Capital citizens are given this luxury.

I can't remember if it's in the books, but it's such a killer line to sneak in.

Fandom is not about cancellable opinions it’s about sharing and spreading art and fics and gif sets and poetry and showering each other in praise and tearing up because someone said something nice about a thing you made and writing posts that say reblog to give the person you reblogged this from a kiss on the forehead actually

[majorsoapfan]

do you guys remember those lines in tbosas where snow [and maybe others, i don’t fully remember] were hoping that they would just send the tributes home? that they would just cancel the games?

i think about this a lot. what if they actually DID send them home, and just canceled the games? what would’ve happened in the mentor’s lives? what would the future of panem be? so many thoughts and i think this would make for a wonderful au
