Ten Questions for Writers

Thanks for the tags @cha-melodius @orchidscript @firenati0n! I think I did one of these earlier this year but let's go again anyway

How many works do you have on AO3? 86

What's your total AO3 word count? 666,561 but this includes several co-written fics so my actual word count is probably at least 100k less than that but I have no way of tracking that

What fandoms do you write for? RWRB, 911 LS, Schitt's Creek

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? Yes! I try to respond to almost all of them - I love receiving comments and really appreciate when people take the time to leave them vs just hitting that kudos button. There are some collabs that I don't reply to the comments on, mostly because it's hard to tell from my emails/ao3 inbox which chapter the comment was left on and I don't know whether it was mine. I know I can click through, but I don't always have time!

Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not that I'm aware of

Have you ever co-written a fic before? Yes and I love doing it!

What's your all-time favourite ship? Yes.

What are your writing strengths? Smut with feelings, banter/dialogue, descriptions of people. One of the best comments I've ever received said that the scene I'd written was so intimate the reader almost felt like they were intruding by reading it 😭

What are your writing weaknesses? world building, coming up with pretty metaphors, I think I'm repetitive

First fandom you wrote for? Schitt's Creek

10 Questions for Writers

Thank you for the tag @orchidscript @heartstringsduet @rmd-writes

@freneticfloetry @reyesstrand @safeaswrites @paperstorm ❤️

how many works do you have on ao3? — 26! My most recent, Keep the Lights On, just went up at the weekend.

what’s your total ao3 word count? — Not including the fic I collaborated on, it's roughly 451k.

what fandoms do you write for? — Only Tarlos/Tarlos adjacent. I wonder if I'll ever be moved to write for another fandom someday (as well as Tarlos, rather than instead of) but right now I can't even imagine it.

do you respond to comments? why or why not? — Yes! It's vital for me to thank readers. People are taking time out of their day to read something I wrote...it's amazing. It blows my mind. Before fic, I was writing into a void and didn't realise how much I needed this sort of community. I'm just really grateful for it.

have you ever had a fic stolen? — Yes, chunks of one. It was a harrowing experience. The Lone Star fandom was incredible about it though. Not to vague but there are certain people here who are my heroes. (Also...the amount of 'yes' answers I've seen to this question really scares me!)

have you ever cowritten a fic before? — Yes! Just once, but I'd love to collaborate more! @lemonlyman-dotcom and @ladytessa74 and I each wrote a chapter for a fic called The Wonder of It for @thisbuildinghasfeelings' birthday. It was a really lovely, fun experience. The fic is one I treasure because it's within Tessa's Elijah Verse, which I'm obsessed with.

what’s your all-time favorite ship? — Tarlos. There is no other ship for me that comes close. Sometimes I wonder if there ever could be tbh. I'm not actively looking for one, but I wasn't actively looking for Tarlos either. Grateful every day that I randomly watched this Rob Lowe Vanity Fair video that changed my life.

what are your writing strengths? — Based on feedback I've had, I'll say: humour, smut, detail, lyricism.

what are your writing weaknesses? — Well according to a total shithead on here, my smut and everything else. But according to me I'd say overwriting, syntax, using the same words really close together ffs. I spend *a lot* of time editing before I post. I'd also love to write a really good thriller but I don't know if I have the skill.

first fandom you wrote for? — 9-1-1 Lone Star/ Tarlos. First and only, babyyy.

10 Questions for Writers

10 Questions for Writers tagged by @sunnysideprincess

1. how many works do you have on AO3?

156, but two or three of those are Round Robins I participated in, and two are collabfics. The rest are all mine, though.

2. what’s your total AO3 word count?

902,447

3. what fandoms do you write for?

Marvel is my main squeeze fandom, but I've got one Stranger Things fic up and I want to write a few more. I've got a tiny Hannibal fic up, one solitary M*A*S*H that had been a request of one of my besties (and that was definitely enough and I love that show), and there's a Contrarywise/Trickster's Touch ficlet up. Oh yeah, and I have a few Bill and Ted fics up and some other random old stuff that I finally stuck on my AO3 (Lost Boys, From Hell)

4. do you respond to comments? why or why not?

Always. First off, it's so rare these days to get comments because of all the reasons/excuses people give for not leaving comments on fics that to get comments is such a treasure and joy, so of course, I'm going to comment back. Second, if some of those reasons/excuses are true (shyness, anxiety, awkwardness) then I'm doubly grateful for the people who do comment - esp if they are commenting while anxious/shy/awkward - that I want to make sure they realize that their comments are appreciated and that they are not bothering me with their comments. Though I still don't understand that concern. If a writer doesn't want comments on their fics, they'll set it up so that no one will comment. If we've got our comments open, we want comments and you're never bothering us with them.

5. have you ever had a fic stolen?

I don't think so. Given how wildly unpopular I seem to be as a writer, I can't imagine anyone wanting to steal what I've written.

6. have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yep. I've got two collabfics up on AO3 that I wrote with @scottxlogan, and we've got two more in the wings just needing to be finished so I can post them up.

7. what’s your all-time favorite ship?

No. I don't have one all-time favorite ship. I have many favorite ships - Loki/Tony Stark, Loki/Bucky Barnes, Loki/Steve Rogers, Loki/Emma Frost, Loki/Justin Hammer (don't give me that look, they're fun), Tony/Bucky, Tony/Steve, Tony/Scott Summers, Tony/Emma Frost, Steve/Bucky, Steve/Scott Summers, Steve/Emma, Scott/Logan, Scott/Bobby, Scott/Kurt... I mean, that's just the Marvel list, and it's not even a complete one. There's also Steve Harrington/Eddie Munson, and so many others from other fandoms that I may not write for but I like to read.

8. what are your writing strengths?

Apparently humor, Easter Eggs, dialogue, fluff, sexy times, and making people hungry by including food into so many fics.

9. what are your writing weaknesses?

World building if I'm having to create a world from scratch. I can do it, but it's a lot of work and then I get stressed. I used to world-build in rp writing with my former roommate, and when we quit writing, I thought I might take some of our old rps and turn them into og fiction, but there are some that are so wildly extensive in the world building that I will probably stick to re-reading them and not actually trying to re-write them into og fiction.

10. first fandom you wrote for?

If we're talking the first time I ever wrote fanfiction without knowing that fanfiction was a word, that'd be the Children of the Corn fanfic I wrote when I was 12-13. It was in pencil, and it was big time Mary Sue, and I don't even have it anymore because over many decades, the pencil faded/smudged, and I'm pretty sure I tossed it into the trash. (It was sooooooooooooooooooo bad.) The first fandom I was in once I knew what fanfiction was - Jay and Silent Bob. Yes, I still have those fics, and no they aren't posted anywhere, and they won't be. With the exception of a Loki series fic I wrote that has a tiny crossover with Dogma (that was called a therapy fic), I won't go back to that fandom.

This feels like the week of tag games and asks and dms here in tumblr land. I'm not complaining!

To those who sent me questions from the fic title asks: thank you thank you! I will answer those. Soon. In the meantime...

10 Questions for Writers.

Thanks to @porcelainmortal for the tag. Also nabbing the open tags from @cricketnationrise and @caterpills...

1. How many works do you have on AO3? 16

2. What’s your total AO3 word count? 93,923

3. What fandoms do you write for? Solely Red, White & Royal Blue at the moment, but my AO3 also has works for The Sandman. I have been thinking Dead Boy Detectives thoughts but I don't feel confident enough in the voices to jump in, so.

4. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? I do! Sometimes it takes me a long time, though. I reply because I post my stories in the hope that someone will enjoy them; getting confirmation of that in comment form is something that I am thankful for and really appreciate about sharing creative endeavors. Also, I just love talking about the story!

5. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not that I know of, no.

6. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Nope! Sounds fun, would try.

7. What’s your all-time favourite ship? Nope! No favorites here.

8. What are your writing strengths? Dialogue, I like to think. Banter, but also just conversations, generally speaking. (Pun intended.) Humor. Depicting modernity in a kind of surreal but relatable way?

9. What are your writing weaknesses? Explicit introspection. I do a bit of it, but I tend to try to lead readers in the direction of characters' thoughts through their actions and what they're saying. It probably doesn't always work. Detailed descriptions are also not something that I write much; I'll happily read them, but I don’t often want to write them. Also: making decisions about plot, gross, ugh, not for me.

10. First fandom you wrote for? I am exercising my right to skip this one!

10 questions for writers

tagged by @scottxlogan

1. how many works do you have on AO3?

12 (of which 4 are discontinued and one is a wip)

2. what’s your total AO3 word count?

126,976

3. what fandoms do you write for?

X-Men mainly because they are my favourite superhero team. Sometimes Avengers and X-Men.

4. do you respond to comments? why or why not?

I do respond to comments and really appreciate them because it is nice to know someone likes the fic. But, I haven't responded to comments for the discontinued fics (if there are any) because I may delete the fics.

5. have you ever had a fic stolen?

No. Not that I know of. It's very unlikely that would happen considering there are so many better, wonderful options from other authors.

6. have you ever co-written a fic before?

No. I write very sporadically. So, I wouldn't want to leave them hanging. Plus, I don't think I'd be a good person to collab with. Don't know how much of a team player I am.

7. what’s your all-time favorite ship?

Scott/Warren. I really like their dynamic in the silver-age comics, X-Factor and whenever they are on the same panel. Scott smiles more around Warren. Warren loves it when Scott smiles (IT IS CANON) I also liked Scott/Joanna in Age of X. Basilisk Scott's mask is so much cooler than the visor but the story behind it is horrifying. I used to like Scott/Rogue in X-Men Evolution but I feel like i've grown out of it. I could write more about Scott/Warren but it would turn into a thesis.

8. what are your writing strengths?

I'm still too new to have a lot of strengths, but maybe, silliness? I like writing cute, silly stuff. And maybe, anger. I have a long way to go.

9. what are your writing weaknesses?

There are many areas I would like to improve. I can't write good Smut. It feels like I forget all about sex the moment I write it. Plus, I'm not so good at writing emotions. I feel emotional when I write an emotional scene, but feel detached from it when I read it again. I'm not as attached to my work as I am attached to the characters, if it makes sense?

10. first fandom you wrote for?

X-Men Evolution. It was a Scott/Rogue story which has been discontinued.

Thank you for the tag! :) For anyone interested, the floor is yours.

The more I see your work and the more I see of poorly drawn scum villain, the more I'm tempted to do a poorly drawn tgcf 🥺 (I've only just started listening to it and I absolutely love it!!)

I just don't think I'm as funny as both of you and don't know if I could commit to uploading as regularly as you both do.

But oh! I am SO very tempted!! 😭

Working on an adaption of an existing media as a long form project is honestly my strongest recommendation for getting your creative brain going! Of course, there is still planning and hard work that goes into it, but the biggest creative pressures are much lower (And when anxiety brain is quiet, art brain thrives!)

That said, projects like this are a huge commitment, and I'm a bit of a freak case when it comes to the grind. PD-Scumvillian and I both put a lot of work behind the scenes to make it seem as effortless as it is. I'm wholeheartedly giving you my support should you go through with it; feel free to reach out and ask for tips and tricks!

Is Jaybin the tiniest Robin? Was he less than Damian's 10 apples tall Robin?

I think technically in canon Dick being Robin at 8 would be the tiniest robin however fuck that to me robin jason is small enough you could fit him in your pocket

[ddeongies]

hello my fav writer, im curious abt ur top 5 ryeji fics 🧐

OKAY this was both hard to answer and easy to answer bc i'm good at remember to bookmark my faves (and also reread them all LMAO). that being said!! the below list is not in order, there are honorable mentions, and there's just so much incredible ryeji fic out there that it feels wild to just say 5.

what’s in a name by snowandwolves

if you haven’t read what’s in a name and you read ryeji fic…… please read it right now? it’s not only my favorite ryeji fic, it’s one of my fave stories of all time (including published shit like this fucking fic is a tour de force). it’s simply one of the most beautiful things i’ve ever read and i could not recommend it enough. (this author’s writing is so good i started watching warrior nun just so i can one day enjoy their warrior nun fics i’m so for real right now)

all or nothing (unfortunately orphaned 😭)

all or nothing is one of my comfort fics. it’s a perfect little two shot and idk how many times i’ve read it. the characterization is just lovely. the ryeji relationship is warm and soft and slow and sweet and inevitable (which you know is just how i like it). perfect amount of getting to know each other, perfect amount of pining, a dreamy dreamy yeji it’s just elite

call it fate, call it karma by crushpdf

this fic….. read it please if you haven’t it’s criminally underrated. the fact that it has fewer than 2k hits is actually insane to me. idol yeji and producer ryu and they just fall in love and it’s low drama and perfect and another comfort fic of mine. idk what to say, it’s a 6k one shot, so honestly just read (or reread) it now and thank me later

muse by qaisal

i was considering not including a qaisal fic on this list, but that doesn’t feel right or honest, like there’s a reason they’re top of the tag!! i think muse is my personal fave (and one of the first ryeji fics i’ve ever read, which is probably true for many! if you’ve somehow read my fics and haven’t read muse i am confused, but it’s just cute as hell! i’m too old to write a high school au, so it’s very nice to have an elite one like this to read and reread when i wanna feel warm and fuzzy inside

you’re a mean one by snowddeong

this fic…. also one of the first ryeji fics i read. i don’t generally read gp, but when it’s good it’s good, and YAMO is so fucking good. idk how many times i’ve read it. snow has this unfair ability to tie like so much yearning and history and backstory and tension in these simple moments. and then they combine it with some really hot shit? elite smut fic like it’s an all time classic!!!

honorable mentions:

wheel, snipe, celly by lonewolflink

bite me by hwang_yeddeong

cartwheel heart by aprilflower

step by step (then a leap of faith) by snowandwolves

good boi by hwangdroid (also snow)

[reblogging4thewin]

Hold on a second, while we're on the subject of tactical Cas...

We already know he can heal people without actually making skin-on-skin contact, and that he touches Dean just because.

But consider asking Dean to let him take his temperature in 11x10.

He could identify that the dead guy in My Bloody Valentine had a bladder infection by sniffing him. He diagnosed a hernia in a baby from a distance.

He also just had his hand on Dean's face.

Of course the Doylist perspective is that this is a funny gag, sure. But the Watsonian perspective here is that Cas is a crafty little perv (if you think it's meant as a rectal thermometer), or that he thinks he can make a breakthrough in Dean's walls by getting a finger in his mouth.

The choice of words with "let me" also....I mean great asking for explicit consent, but it also betrays that this is something he specifically wants to do.

Weird timing in context, but evidently Cas won't pass up an opportunity 😂.

[mysticstarlightduck]

Ten random sibling questions!

Thank you so much for the tag, @thelovelymachinery (here)!

I'll go with Arden and Fabian from Crash Stardom! for this one (ps. context: Those two are biologically cousins BUT they grew up together and Arden raised Fabian like a brother).

Arden's pronouns are He/They Fabian's pronouns are He/Him

TW. Mentions of past SA in Arden's "Biggest Fears" section and very questionable stuff happening to Arden in the past

1. Biggest fears

Arden is absolutely terrified of Lenny, the son of a capo from the local mob who once stalked and took advantage of Arden in his own apartment (after Arden had broken up their and Lenny's toxic 'situationship' from hell and told Lenny to never come back). That incident left both Arden and Fabian severely traumatized - because Lenny essentially broke into their apartment and did whatever he wanted to Arden - then 18-19 - while Fabian (WHO WAS 12 AT THE TIME) was locked safely in another room, so he luckily didn't see anything but he still heard the scuffle.

Arden is also terrified of something bad happening to Fabian. They fear they have failed Fabes as a guardian, because they were unprepared at the time they took him in, and also because Arden blames themself for being (in their words) "too broke" to give Fabian the life they wanted him to have. Arden also spiralled pretty badly after everything that happened. They are also afraid that, if they wipe out the mob with their serial killing, something terrible may happen to Fabian too.

Fabian's worst fear is being helpless or unable to protect the people he loves the most. That incident in their past left Fabian with a deep fear of being trapped or helpless while someone needs his help, and he tends to also be afraid of being unable to prevent Arden from losing themself in that need for revenge.

2. Pet peeves

Arden can't stand the smell of whiskey, and also hates repetitive, annoying sounds like constant clicking, people chewing (they will smack a bitch if they hear that) or old clocks ticking. They also dislike the feeling of not having taking a shower in a day, and hate being constantly interrupted.

Fabian hates too-greasy food, or eating soggy things that aren't supposed to be soggy, like cereal or cookies. He hates that feeling of being too tired but unable to sleep, and also dislikes songs that get annoyingly stuck in his head for too long.

3. Favourite after school snack

Neither of them really went to school. Arden ran away from home at 11 years old, with a 5 year old Fabian in tow, to escape a dangerous environment. They got by as homeless runaways/street kids on their own for years, until Arden started working as an errand boy for the mob when they were 14, and Fabian was 8, and was able to afford a small, slightly questionable, apartment. When Arden was 16-17, he started working for the mob's clubs to pay off their debts.

Besides that, Arden's favorite snack is pizza rolls, and Fabian's favorite snack is chocolate chip cookies.

4. Favourite after school activity

Same context as before, so I'll answer this simply as 'favorite pastime/hobby'.

Fabian loves watching old cartoons and has a collection of pirated CDs with his favorite childhood sitcoms, animated movies and romcom films. His favorite pastime is to watch those movies in his free time.

Arden likes shoplifting beauty items, like nail polish, makeup and hair creams, which they store at home, and take great pride in how it helps them feel they've improved their appearance. Arden also loves sleeping whenever they can, and often can be found scrolling aimlessly through his phone.

5. What is their relationship like with each other?

Growing up, their bond was incredibly strong. They were all each other ever really had, and even if Arden wasn't the most well-equipped or overly responsible guardian, they cared more about Fabian than they ever cared about themself. Fabian always idolized Arden and looked up to them, seeing them as a hero.

However, after the incident with Lenny, Arden spiraled badly, resorting to drinking and becoming addicted to Elixir as a way to drown out the trauma of what had happened. Arden started spending more and more time at the clubs and less time at home. Soon after, they (Arden) turned to hunting down mobsters and killing them in both an act of revenge to let out their pent-up rage but also a desperate vigilantism to keep Fabian from ever becoming a target of those people. At first, Fabian kept trying to be there for Arden, and Arden didn't mean to push him away, however, by the time Fabian was 17, Arden's assassination missions started becoming bolder and more dangerous, putting their own life on the line again and again. Fabian couldn't stand the constant worry, and when he tried to convince Arden to let go of that revenge quest, they both argued badly, which resulted on them becoming estranged for a year.

6. Were they raised together?

Yes, they were. Fabian ended up under the guardianship of his uncle and aunt (Arden's parents) when he was 3, after his own biological parents died in a freak accident. However, Arden's parents were very abusive/toxic, and Arden ended up running away from home at 11, taking 5-year-old Fabian to safety too. Arden raised Fabian under their wing like an older brother/sibling would.

7. What did they enjoy doing together?

Fabian and Arden used to love watching old comedy movies and shows together and even staying up late to watch cartoons. Whenever Arden would come home late from the clubs where they (Arden) worked for the mob, they would pick up Fabian and take him to either get some ice cream or order cheap take out. Arden also was the person who taught Fabian how to shoot, and how to pick locks.

8. What is their favourite thing about eachother?

Fabian's favorite thing about Arden is how they always know how to deal with any situation that comes their way, no matter how jarring. He also admires how Arden had always been so resilient and confident - how they never let anyone talk shit to them and how they always snap back at insults with a smirk, no matter what storm they're dealing with behind the scenes. He also is deeply thankful for everything that Arden has given up and gone through in the past just to give him (Fabian) the childhood they (Arden) never had.

Despite Arden having a more jaded, 'shoot first ask questions later' kind of worldview, they admire how Fabian - despite everything that has happened to them both - is able to still dream about a brighter future and trust people, an ability Arden was never quite able to recover after everything that has happened. Arden also appreciates how Fabian always seems to find ways genuinely cheer them up - as well as anyone around them - no matter how bleak a situation is.

9. What do they hate about the other?

Fabian hates how self-destructive Arden can get, because while he understands that Arden didn't deal well with the crap that happened to them, he hates how they have such a low self-esteem where destroying themself for the sake of feeling numb or even getting even seems like a reasonable option. He also can't stand how sometimes Arden gets so reckless and blinded by rage, that their revenge seems to matter more than anything ever would to them.

Arden sometimes thinks that Fabian is overly naive and that he sees the world through rose-tinted glasses, and that he doesn't understands - what Arden understands - that sometimes bad things need to be done for good reasons or to keep them both safe. They also hate how Fabian wants them to 'think things through' when it comes to making the people who hurt them pay, something that Arden sees as stifling.

10. How do other people see them?

Everyone knows not to mess with either of them - estranged or not, they are the definition of 'never one without the other'. Even the most hardened criminals know that if you mess with Arden, you'll have to handle Fabian's revenge (even if he doesn't kill, he can be QUITE the thorn in the side to have) and if anyone hurts Fabian....well that person won't wake up in one piece, and will probably have a very, very painful demise by Arden's hands.

Sometimes you remember that all we know regarding Argit's mom is that he sold her for top dollar and that Kevin doesn't seem to hold this against him at all, instead defending his honor on the matter of whether he got a good price. We have no context for what happened there, when it happened, or why.

Just, an interesting thing.

10 questions for fic writers

Thank you for tagging me in this @cha-melodius @firenati0n @porcelainmortal @rmd-writes @piratefalls

@kiwiana-writes @14carrotghoul

I feel like it wasn't that long ago I did this, so apologies if you're bored of the same answers. Hopefully not!

How many works do you have on AO3? 24

What’s your total AO3 word count? 380,818. I'm comparing this with other people's numbers and I feel like I'm wordy

What fandoms do you write for? RWRB and I've done a couple for A Marvellous Light (The Last Binding trilogy) by Freya Marske

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? Yes! Getting reactions from the people who are enjoying my work is the best thing about putting my writing online and as far as I'm concerned the main reason to do it. I'd feel like a dick if I didn't reply. Plus, talking to people over comments is a good way to meet new friends :)

Have you ever had a fic stolen? I don't think so!

Have you ever co-written a fic before? No, but I think this might be cool, especially if like, ok: I do vibes, you do plot, I do words 😂 I hate coming up with plot beats, but once it's done I love the writing bit

What’s your all-time favourite ship? FirstPrince bbs but I love them all, this is mean

What are your writing strengths? Uh... I like writing smut, and I like how it comes out, so that. Emotions? Tension, pining, that kind of thing? Who knows, these are things I like and I try hard to get right in my writing. I like the results anyway, and that's the main thing!

What are your writing weaknesses? The aforementioned nemesis that is plot. I'm just not interested in external obstacles, all I want to do is the emotional ones. Why is this emotionally damaged character sabotaging this relationship, yes, more, let's talk about that. Also I get a bit bored of banter so sometimes I avoid it, but I do like the results most of the time so it's worth pushing through.

First fandom you wrote for? RWRB! I am new to this (or I was nearly two years ago when I started)

Ok, here are some tags if people want to play: @thesleepyskipper @blueeyedgrlwrites @welcometololaland @tintagel-or-cockleshells @onetwistedmiracle

what’s your all-time favorite ship?

until recently this had an instant answer, now I'm gonna go with sambucky lol tho bucktommy is getting to this level actually haha

what are your writing strengths?

I think fluff, romance, maybe dialogue? also writing more or less in-character lol

what are your writing weaknesses?

i think descriptions of the scenery and characters, I tend to barely do that. also angst and arguments. also anything that requires specialized knowledge in any capacity, like injuries or 911-typical calls (which is why I skip that or make it as vague as possible lol) idk that's some of it 💁‍♀️

first fandom you wrote for?

ummm, it was rpf so we're not gonna talk about that haha
