Hi Nonny
🍓 ⇢ how did you get into writing fanfiction?
Bridgerton is the first fanfiction I’ve written. I got into it after a long, frustrating workday in May 2022. I was cruising the Benedict Bridgerton tag (as one does lol) and saw two people discussing how they think he secretly kinky and a Shakespeare fan… Et voila, my first fic Sonnet #29 just fell out of my head.
🌵 ⇢ share the link to a playlist you love
Oh I don’t really use playlists. When writing or otherwise. I have one for my fic It Had To Be You but I don’t think that counts lol.
🥑 ⇢ you accidentally killed somebody, which mutual(s) do you text for help?
Lolol. None of them tbh. I don’t want them to risk any unintended consequences of my dumbassery 😂
🌻 ⇢ tag someone you appreciate but don't talk to on a regular basis
Wow this is a tough one. I don’t think the first person I thought of would want to be shouted out on this sideblog as they do not read my fics. Other than that, i am lucky that I get to talk to lots of folks I appreciate regularly. I guess I don’t get to talk to @broooookiecrisp and @makaylan as much as I would like to anymore as they are very busy people. Hope they don’t mind the shoutouts 🫶
🍬 ⇢ post an unpopular opinion about a popular fandom character
I answered this one in a previous reply 🫶
Thanks for your ask 😁🧡

writer truth or dare
🍄 - share a headcanon for one of your favorite ships or pairings
hmm, Imma go with Danny x Sam x Tucker from Danny Phantom. I headcanon that they like to watch old/popular films and shows together, Tucker infodumps lore the entire time and Sam infodumps behind the scenes trivia, and they occasionally argue about headcanons/interpretations. Danny just likes to watch quietly and listen to them talk, and occasionally throws in his opinion.
for some reason I really enjoy thinking about how a fictional character engage with a different fictional piece of media 😂

🥑and 🐝 please!💜
🥑 You accidentally killed somebody, which mutual(s) do you text for help?
@rmd-writes and @welcometololaland for practical reasons, and @clottedcreamfudge and @cha-melodius for like, tactics and resolution. Hopefully I accidentally killed someone during winter, though, cause it'll take a bit for everyone to arrive.
🐝 Tag your biggest supporter(s) and say one nice thing about them
@firenati0n is just consistently one of the most lovely positive people in my life. @sparklepocalypse is here for every bullshit unhinged idea and is on my wavelength to a scary degree. I genuinely don't know how I'd have gotten through the last couple of months of Personal Upheaval without @happiness-of-the-pursuit in my corner.
And I have to give a massive shoutout to the Original Novel Hype Group Chat of @indestructibleheart @rmd-writes @inexplicablymine without whom I definitely would have given up on pursuing this ridiculous dream at least fourteen times so far.

💌 🍄 📚 🏜️ 🐝 (you don’t have to answer this one if you don’t want, I already know it’s me 🤭)
Lemon...right?
💌 ⇢ how many unread emails do you have right now?
Darn you for making me look! 248!
🍄 ⇢ share a head canon for one of your favourite ships or pairings
Answered this one here and here but here is another: After Andrea met TK and really started opening up her heart and mind to Carlos being gay and in love with another man, she began seeking out queer art, books, shows, so she could learn more about the community her son is a part of. Carlos recommends and lends her things! I touch on this in my fic Wrestling Angels.
📚 ⇢ what’s the last thing you wrote down in your notes app?
I didn't have to say anything. He knew I was shaking.
🏜️ ⇢ what’s your favourite type of comment to receive on your work?
I love it when an aspect or overall theme leads a reader to discuss something and it gets a bit more personal and chatty. Fire Island and Sweet Dreams and Flying Machines led to comments in which people shared their memories and feelings about the AIDS crisis and about 9/11 respectively. I guess it makes it seem like the fic has a bit more 'social impact' in a way. It's quite amazing when that happens.
🐝 ⇢ tag your biggest supporter(s) and say one nice thing about them
Haha @lemonlyman-dotcom... right? You have been so supportive and friendly from the beginning - the beginning being pre-tumblr when you were leaving such lovely comments on my fics. When I saw you'd set up your tumblr I was so happy to be able to interact with you on here too. And now look!
And @thisbuildinghasfeelings - you were one of the first people I spoke to on here and your kindness and enthusiasm not just towards my writing is just incredible and I feel very lucky you're here.
@heartstringsduet your comment on Afterglow of a Supernova basically changed my life in that it made me instantly more confident in my writing, like it represented a turning point in how I felt about it, and you've always been in my corner. And you've made art for my fics???!!!
@goodways you have been so lovely about my fics I feel like I can never thank you enough and your comments always make me laugh and make me think. Your feedback always means the world to me.
@herefortarlos your enthusiasm for my fics, all fics and this fandom is a thing of beauty and so inspiring.
@welcometololaland you were one of the first people to ever tag me in anything and I remember it vividly because I couldn't believe it haha. Your comments are always so hilarious and make me feel like I've done something right, and without you I wouldn't have written I Was Thinking About Your Mouth, so I am forever grateful for that and for you being such a good sounding board when I complain about work!
@cold-blooded-jelly-doughnut mate, you are divine and the fact that you spend any time beta'ing my fics when they are still kinda hot messes is wild to me. Thank you as well for your kindness and generosity!
@im-overstimulated-and-im-sad you are a delight and your comments are like a balm to my soul!
@reyesstrand Also from really early on you were leaving such encouraging comments on my fics and including me in WIP tags and things and I'm so grateful and forever awestruck.
@paperstorm I always cherish in particular how incredible you were about Fire Island (and When Soulmates Swim recently!), and how you helped so much in my hour of need when the whole scary situation around Afterglow of a Supernova happened. Thank you!
There are other people too of course but I worry I'm banging on a bit too much like I'm at the Oscars and the music is going to play over me talking so I just want to wrap up by saying thank you to everyone who has read my fics and commented and left kudos - I've said it before and I'll say it again, it really does blow me away that you're giving your precious free time to my stories in that way.

Tw a bit heavy
🦋 ⇢ share something that has been on your heart and mind lately
Lately I’ve been wondering a few things about… stuff. Specifically mental stuff. I’ve always known I was a bit different than the others, but lately it just seems more prominent I guess.
Like for example, I’ll be staring at my screen of my computer, knowing I have a collage paper overdue… and yet my damn body won’t move. And it does this constantly. I can’t hardly think of doing something I don’t wanna do (ie collage work, basic chores, ect) without feeling like my insides are gonna collapse. I’m currently kissing a ton of things because I can’t bring myself to do it.
I’m worried about bringing this up to my parents (who is till live with) because I’m afraid of what they might say. I’ll prob get taken to a therapist, but if they diagnose me with something I just. I don’t know. My whole life has been built around “the good kid” and being the overachiever. For gods sake I graduated with more credits then needed in highschool, I could have graduated early!
I took duel enrollment (collage + high) and missed out on a bunch of teen stuff like parties and being studpid because my older subs were like that. And I had to be the “good one.” I’m worried that if I get diagnosed with something big, it’ll change how my parents view me.
Sorry it got heavy. Just something I’ve had on my mind for a while.

Name three good things about a character you hate.
eugh..... Eeeeeeuuuuuuuaaaaagggh....
=/
Trebol had a solid fashion sense when Doffy did. He... is well organized? He doesn't leave a trail of snot everywhere despite being covered in it.
link your favourite piece of fanart and explain why you like it
Oh that's easy - but it is a tie, a serious tie, between
This
and
This.
I wrote A Light Touch because of one, and the other is just hands down my absolute favorite Marco Art thus far.

Writing Share / Last Line / First Kiss Friday Tag!
thank you for all the tags @the-golden-comet (X2), @drchenquill , @willtheweaver , @rotting-moon-writes , and @gioiaalbanoart !
ahhhh okay so since I was tagged in a variety of these, I'm combining them! I've been playing around with how Jace and Maeve's first kiss is going to happen. I have so many ideas for this since it's a slow burn (and I'm little miss impatient when it comes to the slow burn burning) and the opportunities are limitless, please give me some feedback or a way you think it should happen (whether it's in a comment, reblog tags, ask, or private message)! bonus points if you've been reading the chapters as I've published them on AO3, which I know many of you have been (which thank you so so so much for all the love and support you have been giving me and Your Average Fangirl !! whenever I'm having a bad day at work, you never fail to make me want to cry happy tears at your comments, reblogs, kudos, etc)
without further ado, here's a first kiss scene <3
“Truth or dare?” Lucas asks, a small smirk dancing on the edges of his lips.
“Dare,” the word is out of my mouth before I can fully think of anything remotely gross he could dare me to do, being out in the middle of nowhere and all.
A full grin takes over his face as he says, “I dare you to sit in Jace’s lap,” he points towards where Jace sits to the right of me, “and make out with him for one full minute.”
“No way,” I laugh nervously. There’s no way he just suggested I make out with Jace. “That’s not gonna happen,” I shake my head.
Kai and Gabriel both laugh, shaking their heads at Lucas for such an inappropriate dare this soon in the game.
“You don’t have to do that,” Jace says to me before turning to Lucas, giving him a look I can’t decipher. “She doesn’t have to do that.”
“Come on,” Lucas taunts, “it’s just a dare.”
It’s just a dare. Except it’s not. I’m a fangirl, I’ve probably dreamt of this situation hundreds of times. But to actually do it? That’s too much pressure. Too much pressure to be perfect. In my head? I’m the perfect kisser. In reality? I could be mediocre. What if I ruin kissing for Jace?
“It’s just a dare,” Kai echoes, shrugging a shoulder as I meet his eyes.
“Come on, do it,” Lucas whines and I know he won’t drop it until I do.
With a deep, steadying breath, I get up and slowly walk over to Jace. His eyes widen as I lightly place my hand on his left shoulder.
“It’s just a dare, right? Meaningless?” I add the last part for his benefit, my heart beating so hard I swear I can feel the vibrations in my fingertips.
He nods, wetting his lips.
For some unknown reason, my heart sinks at his response. This is going to be meaningless. It doesn’t matter if I kiss him tonight or a year from now, I’ll only ever be a fan. A friend at most.
I gently crawl onto Jace’s lap and he moves so that I’m straddling him, my legs dangling on either side of his hips. His friends start hooting and hollering as I remind myself one last time that this means absolutely nothing.
Then, I lower my lips onto his.
The kiss starts slow, gentle, but my heart never slows down as his hands roam my body. His fingers dive into my hair as he pulls me impossibly closer, deepening the kiss. I wrap my arms around his neck as I lean into him, letting him take control.
His hands slide down my back and his fingers tickle the bare skin on my lower back, causing me to shiver at the sensation.
Jace smiles against my lips before pulling away and kissing a line down my jaw, where he finds the sweet spot on my neck and starts peppering it with kisses.
A timer goes off loudly, causing me to jump away from him and land harshly on the ground in front of his chair.
My chest heaves up and down in quick breaths as I refuse to look up at Lucas, Kai, and Gabriel, who are all laughing and clapping as if they’ve watched the best show.
I run my fingers through the grass, reminding myself of what’s real. What just happened, everything I just felt, it wasn’t real. It was meaningless. It practically never happened.
After a few more minutes of trying to calm my heart, I get up and walk quickly to the tour bus before slamming the door shut and burying myself into the covers in my bunk. Embarrassing. That was so embarrassing.
basically what I was going for with this scene is that Lucas knows there's something going on between Maeve and Jace (whether that's from mere observation or Jace confiding in him) and he knows nothing will happen unless he forces their hand a little. he bands together with Kai and Gabriel to egg them on into doing this, not thinking that he may be harming what could've happened naturally. he's definitely the golden retriever of the group, though!
one song I really associate with this scene for some reason is Dead Inside by LØLØ, which I'll link here :)
if you want another version of their first kiss, let me know!!
also no pressure tagging @romances-not-tragedies @wyked-ao3 @katenewmanwrites @kaylinalexanderbooks + an open tag

Okay first of all, I like that your ask-box is called briefkasten! And then for the thingy
🍓🧃🔪🐚🕯️
endlich!!!!! wird es gewürdigt!!!!!! danke dir djkdaj also i love that you call it the thingy. see, that's why your way of speaking reminds me of my sister
🍓: how did you get into writing fanfiction?
once upon a time, there was wenzhou.
i never meant to write fanfiction, tbh. fanfiction was my path back to ,, being more passionate about characters, i guess? at the time, i hadn't written anything in years (original work) and i felt way better since making the decision of setting down the pen.
but then. an idea entered my brain. and it wouldn't leave me alone. and i was like: why not????
wellllll. i've regretted that decision more than once since then. i still do, even now. but writing fanfiction has also ,, paved the way to being an active part of fandom and carving out my own niche, i guess?? to being creative again. and, it's true that i've come to rediscover my love for it (writing in general). the way it is now, i enjoy it. but. i mean. sometimes i wish i could travel back in time and . change things
writing is so . consuming. if you know what i mean. it's only been, what, half a year? since i learned to set clear boundaries AND respect them. i used to sacrifice myself for writing, and hated it at the same time, but i couldn't stop either. it was compulsive. just thinking about that makes me want to peel my own skin off brrr
🧃: share some personal lore you never posted about before
hmmmm. i mentioned more than once that i adore horsies, but did you know i learned to do gymnastics on a horse?? in full gallop!! hah! the only thing i never managed was to get into the saddle without help. they're so fucking tall. i'm dreaming of learning to spring up on a horse while it's in full gallop, without a saddle or anything. that would be so cool
🔪: what's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?
du fragst mich Sachen!!!!!!!! woher soll ich das denn noch wissen shjhsadjhdjsah hast du ne Ahnung, wie lange ich schon im kreativen Schreiben tätig bin ajshjhdsj die richtig weirden Sachen hab ich zu meiner Zeit des original writing geresearched, i guess. zurzeit researche ich nur respektable (ehem) historische Fakten und kulturelle Aspekte.
i mean. i guess i could say that i educated myself on male sexuality and The Penis and such, but that's probably only something i feel weird about because i'm not mature enough. but it's, like, the only thing i can think of rn. god, maybe i'm really boring.
ich wette, mir fällts ein, sobald ich das hier gepostet habe!!!!! wollen wir wetten!!!!
🐚: do you like or dislike surprises?
there are two answers to this question. i love surprises because i love discovery, and a surprise is a positive discovery. but. i have the emotional landscape, worries, and reactonary speed of a trapped prey animal
🕯️: on a scale from 1 to 10, how much do you enjoy editing? why is that?
12. because!!!! gonna pharaphrase @aiyexayen who said something along those lines in the tags once: it's about cleaning up what's chaotic and messy and making something cool and shiny out of it.
i used to think that drafting is my most favourite part of writing. drafting is a lot like oral storytelling when you're a pantser, and oral storytelling is where my love for creating stories comes from. but it's still a different medium after all, and i've changed too. revising is a lot like ,, using the material you've lovingly gathered and building something cool out of it
truth or dare ask game for writers! (don't mind double answering!)

For the Writer's truth or dare:
🌸🧩 and/or 🥑
Thank you so much, lovely. 🧡
🌸 ⇢ do you have any pets? if you do, post some pictures of them
This is my Nadja, and her evolution over the past 2 years and 10 months - from newborn foster kitten to fully grown forever cat.
🧩 ⇢ what will make you click away from a fanfiction immediately?
Well, assuming there are no ships, themes or tags that would keep me from even clicking the fic in the first place: too little use of paragraphs. If I open a fic and I'm met with walls of text, my brain goes 'Nope' and I exit the fic immediately. My brain cannot compute big walls of text in fics.
🥑 ⇢ you accidentally killed somebody, which mutual(s) do you text for help?
@f1writingbyme is a given because the chances of me having updated her live on the entire process are high. Also @il-predestinato because I have a feeling she would be excellent at helping with the clean-up and figuring out a way to get me out of it. @fueledbyremembering for moral support and assurances that I wouldn't go to jail.
Ask game.

Thank you for the ask! <3
🍄 ⇢ share a head canon for one of your favourite ships or pairings
Hmmm which ship should I choose... Maybe Sakuatsu from Haikyuu!! ?
Sooo
Atsumu and Sakusa are huge hypocrites (and haters) when it comes to various issues. Especially when it comes to love matters.
They will hold hands and talk to each other about how annoying Hinata and Kageyama's flirtations are. They will exchange disgusted faces or feign gagging as they listen to Bokuto talk about Akaashi, even though they are both hugged tightly to each other. Atsumu keeps complaining to Omi about Osamu that he's such a pathetic idiot in love, while Sakusa strokes his hair and places soft kisses on Atsumu's face.
Hating other people's acts of love? Yes. Being the most annoyingly clingy couple? Also yes. This is Sakuatsu for you.
(I love this headcanon so much that I wrote fic using this trope hahah)
Have a nice day 💖

Hiya! 🍓 and 🍄 for the writers truth and dare ask game?
Hi hello and thank you so much! :D <3 How did I get into writing fanfiction. Well, I was watching my favorite TV show at the time with which I was obsessed and I thought, “Fucking hell, they’re gonna mess up this relationship dynamic next episode, aren’t they?” And I was just like, “Welp, I better write what I think they ought to do before they fuck it all up I guess.”
What I wrote was pretty shit, but I guess good enough, because this fandomer—and I would say she was the equivalent of a @capiturecs or @sitp-recs in HP fandom, somebody who made it their business to read a LOT of fic for the ship and who would readily hype and rec new and old writers alike—found my fic right away somehow and was like, “Oh, you need to post here and here and here,” and taught me about Yahoo groups (this was in 2001, I believe), and the rest is pretty much history. I simply never stopped.
Share a head canon for one of your favourite ships or pairings.
LOL as soon as I get one I tend to write it into a fic, so I’m not altogether good at spontaneous head canons, I don’t think. Hmmm. I guess one of my favorites—and this isn’t a pairing thing—is that Harry and Ginny both realize their queerness through failing to make their own relationship work post-war. I mean, they had this crush in their school years almost entirely based around perceptions of who they were at the time and not necessarily the reality, and certainly not the reality of who they would become. Plus I think Harry conflates safety and love with all things Weasley, as naturally he would, and thus is like, oh hey, here’s the very heterosexual next step it seems like I should take toward maintaining that safety and sense of belonging for the rest of my life. And Ginny. I just want to be like, gosh, gurl, go find yourself! And I think she might find herself interested in pussy.
Thank you so much for the Ask! These were super fun questions! <3

🥤🐇🍄🌿 for the truth or dare writing ask game!
Thank you @kanerallels!!
🥤 ⇢ recommend an author or fanfic you love
Oof! This is tough and I'm sure I'm going to leave many talented people out bc I can never remember their Tumblr url even though I'm their avid reader on ao3 (I'm sorry!)
@seleneisrising @photogirl894 @airlockfailure @yukipri @takadasaiko @genericficerblog @mxtr3ssquickly @insertmeaningfulusername @fanfictasia @nobody-expects-the-inquisitorius @annwayne and of course, you!
🐇 ⇢ do you prefer writing original characters, reader inserts, or a mix of both?
Original characters, for sure. I'm not fond of reader inserts, nothing against who write/read them, but it's not for me because they feel a bit gaslighting. The few occasions I dare to read them I always say "I wouldn't f*ing say/do that!", and I feel I have no right to force the reader to feel/say/do things they normally wouldn't. I know it's fiction, but I cannot connect with reader inserts, neither in reading nor writing.
But unlike insert readers, the possibilities with original characters is infinite and there's no one that can say that the OC wouldn't react this or that way except me! (When I'm writing them ofc) And I accept whatever the OC's reaction is when I'm reading it bc it is what it is. I have no base to refute it.
🍄 ⇢ share a head canon for one of your favourite ships or pairings
Kalluzeb when they get hurt: two sides of the same coin
Zeb goes berserk when Kallus is in danger. Any imperial in a mile radius of them will have a gruesome demise. It's a little scary to witness. But later, he calms down once they're safe and patches Kallus up with utmost care. Kallus gets often hurt, so Zeb is an expert by now.
On the other hand, if it Zeb who gets hurt during a mission, Kallus keeps his head cold and do what he needs to do to get Zeb out of there. He's methodical and pragmatic about it. But once they're safe, Kallus crumbles. He can't deal with Zeb hurt. It messes with his head.
🌿 ⇢ give some advice on writer's block and low creativity
I struggle with this myself, but sometimes I do things that help me
Take a break from writing (sometimes even a short break is enough, sometimes you need days or weeks. It's okay)
But during the before mentioned break (especially the long ones) you can do other things, get out of your comfort zone. Read something (your favorite book or something new), watch tv shows/movies in a different genre/fandom you're writing for. Do another type of art, listen to music, etc.
Brainstorm with someone else (or several others). This is VERY IMPORTANT. Sometimes what we need to get unstuck is voicing the problem. I'd say that 7 out of 10 times, you'll find the solution by yourself while explaining the other person. If not, then your friend(s) will give you one, or at least, spark your imagination by telling you the detail you were missing.
Remember that even just a sentence written is progress.
And, even if it's often discouraged by many writing advice lists, edit that last portion of what you wrote and don't be afraid to discard what doesn't work (but don't delete it. You can save that for another story or later on in the same fic you're working on.). Doing this, you can make the story flow easily again.
Send me one (or more) of these Writers Truth & Dare Asks!!

Hi! 😍😍
🧃 🍬 🥐 🦋 for the asks please 🥰🥰
Hello Kerry!!
🧃 ⇢ share some personal lore you never posted about before
I'm not entirely sure if this means personal fanlore like a headcanon or something lorey about me, so I'm going to sort of blend it and say: After 4x12, I was fully down for Tarlos never having kids. I thought it was quite a unique take to show a couple not being on the same page around starting a family, and it was something I related to a lot for personal reasons. However. However. Then out of the blue I felt ready to read read kidfic, having not really wanted to before. I read @welcometololaland's series Self Control? I Don't Know Her and @three-drink-amy's Teach You How Forever Feels and @ladytessa74's Elijah Verse and @bonheur-cafe's Pour me a cup (or two or three) and now I am obsessed with them becoming dads. Obsessed. I just really want it to happen. It's amazing the impact that fic can have. Everything I linked is so compelling and I just love it!
🍬 ⇢ post an unpopular opinion about a popular fandom character
I've never said this before but........ I don't like TK's name!!! Ahhhh!!! I think he suits initials but I'm not in love with the particular letters together. I also don't think Tyler suits him!!!! Please don't come for me!!! I'm sorry!!
🥐 ⇢ name one internet reference that will always make you laugh
FOUR SEASONS TOTAL LANDSCAPING!!! And this girl laughing about it!!!
🦋 ⇢ share something that has been on your heart and mind lately
Honestly, I've had quite a major dip in confidence for a while now because of work. I feel like the job has grown way beyond my intelligence level and I'm scrambling up the learning curve like someone running along a bridge that is falling away behind them. It's getting me down! Also I guess it goes without saying but season 5 of 911 LS and the excitement but also trepidation about plotlines and things! Also I don't love my hair right now.
Thank you for asking! ❤️
