#30 YL is one of top 5 aus

[tiniest-hands-in-all-the-land]

Hi!! I love your art!! I'm a newcomer in the vampire dies in no time fandom. I just finished reading the manga up until the hiatus but I couldn't find any chapters about the 30 year timeskip or ronaldo becoming a vampire. There's so much fanart out there of the ronaldo vampire au and 30 years later au that I was hoping its canon..? Would you know which chapter it was from? Or if it is all fanon au? :(( I'm not sure who else to ask.. Thank you!!

Hello and welcome!! Hope you enjoy your stay in this silly lil fandom ^^

To answer your question, the 30 Years Later AU and Delta AU are both semi-canon, by which I mean the mangaka Bonnoki was the one who came up with them! There are a whole bunch of semi-canon AU's out there, and those are two of the most popular ones!

The 30 Years Later AU doesn't have any official story publishing like Delta does, and is just based on drawings Bonnoki posted on his twitter account. (these drawings are also in the fanbooks)

He drew Ronaldo, Draluc, Ta-Chan and Maria, and Bubuo.

There isn't much official lore to 30 Years Later, and it's basically just "everything is the exact same, except 30 years have passed". Ronaldo and Draluc are still living and working together in Shinyoko. Ronaldo still writes his books and Draluc still livestreams and cooks for Ronaldo, and they both seem to have calmed down at least a tiny bit. Ronaldo is still human

And we love it so, cuz it's fun to think about the fact that Ronaldo has spent more years of his life with Draluc in it than without :)

(and some of us me are angst whores and love playing around with the will-he-won't-he aspect of Ronaldo deciding about whether he'll become a vampire or not)

As for Delta (the Ronaldo as a vampire AU), I made a post a little while ago going more into depth here! Unless you're referring to content that's about Canon Ronaldo turning from a human into a vampire, in which case, yes that would be fanon ^^

Thank you for asking, and thank you for liking my art! There's a lot more information about these AUs (as well as the other semicanon AUs and kyuushi lore in general) on the kyuushi discord server! There's a whooole lotta information in this series, and I definitely don't know everything there is to know about kyuushi (it's one of the very few fandoms where i actually get my fanon and canon mixed up sometimes OTL) but I enjoy sharing what I do know ^^

All 30 of the writer ask :) ♡

HOOOOEY, @hnnwnchstr So I’m going to cut out the ones I’ve already been asked and the ones that are asks for specific fics.

1. What was the first fandom and/or pairing that you wrote fic for?

Inuyasha, InuKag. Followed closely by (Vision of) Escaflowne, Van/Hitomi

2. Do you participate in any writing events or challenges throughout the year? If so, what do you like about them?

I did Inuvember last year, which was the first time I’d participated in anything like that. It was good for me to get over some of my anxiety about posting new story ideas.  I also participated in the impromptu Valentine’s Day “event” and then the more organized Inuyasha White Day earlier this year which we had a lot of fun with!

3. Do you write fics from start or finish, or jump around?

Definitely jump around.  It’s a curse for finishing plots, but it does help keep me from getting really really stuck.

4. Do you outline before you start writing? If so, how far do you stray from that outline?

Almost never?  I did a bit for Masquerade, the Inuparents side story, but mostly to make sure I didn’t forget anything and to keep it within the plotline of what I’d already written for Your Lying Smile.

5. What is the perfect environment for you to write in?

Coffee Shop, hands down. But I rarely get to do that, so often the next best thing is a comfy couch spot in my house.  I really need a better armchair...

6. If you’re really concentrating, how many words can you write in a day?

UHHH. I don’t really keep track of that very well.  I tried one of those apps that tracks it, but it was hard when I typically have multiple story tabs open at the same time.  But I think in one day, my top was like… 5000 words, give or take?  Recently.  Back before Grad School and kiddo, I probably did more in a day than that over multiple stories.

7. Which part of writing do you struggle with most?

Drawing out the plot.  My plotlines are always too short and not… complicated enough, for lack of a better word.  It’s something I’m working on.

8. Do you listen to music while you write? If so, share a song that’s been inspiring you lately.

Sometimes.  I have a Spotify list of “liked” songs that range from punk to R&B to alternative to pop.  I don’t have any specific story for it yet, but Sara Bareilles’ Once Upon Another Time has been haunting me lately.

9. Do you prefer to write AUs, canon divergence, or canon-compliant fic?

Based on my Drive folders, I’mma say AUs (43+ is hard to argue with), but Canon-Divergent is probably next in line.

10. Do you enjoy writing dialogue, exposition, or plot the most?

Exposition.  My writing is pretty description heavy with dialogue sprinkled in.

13. Is there a trope you wouldn’t write if it was the last trope on earth?

Darkfic.  I can’t not have them have a happy ending in some capacity.  It might be a little bittersweet (some of you probably know the fic I’m thinking of) but ultimately they end up together and happy.

14. If you were stuck on a desert island with only two characters, which would you pick?

Specifically from Inuyasha?  Inuyasha and Sango, because Sango would come up with a plan to get us off the island and Inuyasha would make it happen.  Also Shirtless!Inu...

16. What is your most underrated fic?

This is a weird question.  Anyway, um… I guess To Sleep Perchance to Dream?  I haven’t updated it in a while so I think it’s fallen off people’s radar.

17. What fic are you most proud of?

Return to Me, I think?  Short as it is, I think I accomplished what I set out to do in that storyline.

18. What is a line/scene you’re really proud of? Give us the DVD commentary for that scene.

Oh Lort…  Too many stories to sift through… Most recently, a scene between Izayoi and an OC in the upcoming chapter for YLS: Masquerade.  She’s understandably distraught from her ordeal and she’s trying to buck up because she knows crying won’t help anything.  But the OC, one of the other women who was taken, comforts her and reminds her that it’s alright to lean on others sometimes.  I like the tenderness of a woman being a shelter and a rock for another woman, even who don’t know one another well, instead of it being that a man comforts her.

19. Who is the easiest/hardest character for you to write about? Why?

Easiest: Inuyasha. Aside from the fact that I feel like I’ve gotten his speech patterns down decently well… I identify with him in a lot of ways.

Hardest: Erm… Miroku?  I have a hard time pinning down the intelligent grifter/perv/thoughtful monk balance.  In my AUs I tend to make him some other field rather than have him be a monk because in a different context, I doubt that would have been his path. Scholar, doctor, advisor, professor/teacher… Those make sense for him to me.

21. What is the one fic that got away?

I’m assuming this means one that I meant to write but didn’t… But that’s not really my thing.  LOL.  I keep all the WIPs. I may not keep writing all of them, but I keep them all in my “pocket” for a rainy day.

22. Have you cried while writing a fic?

Yes.  Not much, I’m not much of a crier, but I got teary writing Inuyasha’s fear/pain/regret in Given and the mutually angsty scene in Underlying Truth.

23. If you had to remix one of your own fics, which would it be and how would you remix it?

Given is actually a remix of an earlier fic I called A Demon’s kiss which started with the same premise, but focused more on them talking out their feelings and without quite the depth of emotion. But for something I’ve posted and needs a reboot, it would be A Silent Affair. I need to rewrite huge swaths of the interpersonal interactions, particularly between Inuyasha and Kagome.

30. Tell us an idea for a longfic you want to write in the future.

I mean, LONG is not really my forte (see aforementioned issues with plot development), but I have shared little bits of my post “apocalypse” fic Gone and my other space fic Caged Bird which could be longer.  I also have the Farscape AU which I haven’t officially named… still… But that will be more episodic than plot driven.
