#A litte pirate in my askbox

Hi... you have been a fan longer than me... I believe I've been a fan for almost 4 years now.

And if I reveal that I wrote my first fanfic (not ouat) back in 2003 that will make me an "older" fanfiction writer 🙈 but I do love to challenge myself w various writing skills and change genres etc. Or making my own original novels too (still nothing serious)

Question:

If you had to pick the most romantic setting/act/scene you could ever imagine our captainswan would ever venture out on, what would that be????

That's still a lot of years, Santa! How did you find out about OUAT and Captain Swan? Through tumblr?

What kind of original novels do you write? That's so awesome! What was your first fanfic about?

The most romantic setting? I'm always thinking about different romantic scenarios but right now I feel like my mind is blocked!

*a few hours later* (literally. i left to run some errands and came back... with inspiration! haha)

At first I thought of a Christmas -y background with snow, lights, etc but then it hit me. Killian and Emma on the Jolly Roger. It's night and the moon is at its waxing crescent phase (or no moon at all) so there's not much light. You can clearly see the stars, the galaxies etc. (I love it so much when it's dark outside and you can see the night sky in all its glory! It's so magical, it's like it's painted with gold dust.) They're slow dancing, no music just the sound of the sea and Killian humming. And then Emma tells him that she's pregnant (with Hope) or maybe it's set earlier in their relationship and that's when they exchange their first 'I love you's !!!

(actual representation of me right now! haha)

Hi secret Santa here.... I've gotten a head start for the fic. Super excited about this event... I hope you are too...

Trying to get to know you more ☺️

So I was wondering about how long have you been a fan of ouat?

Do you also write fanfiction yourself? (What is your pen name?)

Hey, Santa!! Happy to hear from you again!

I'm excited as well!!! I'm sure I'll love it!

I've been a fan of OUAT for almost 10 years. I feel like those grandmas where they sit by the fireplace and tell past stories to their grandchildren! hahaha I believe I started catching up around this time (maybe a bit later) in 2012. What about you?

I don't write fanfiction and I admire those who do. I can't even write a paragraph without making a ton of mistakes. haha

Hello, this is santa's elf at your service again 😆. I've been working on manufacturing the perfect toy- nvm *mission abort this intro is to chaotic 😭*

Hello there!! How have you been? What have you been up to this Christmas? I'd love to hear of your wintery adventures- does it happen to snow where you live?

*takes a deep breath in I promise I didn't mean for that to sound like a barrage of questions- I just happen to love the winter season and people's Christmas traditions :)*

Off topic (but not really, but yeah) the captain swan Christmas fics are so good I swear...secret Santa and gift exchange are literally one of my favorite collections...and- *yeah imma stop myself before I start rambling.....and we can't forget new-

Do you happen to have any favorite collections, authors of fanfics? Do you happen to lik

*I think I'll stop now and saw some questions from later*

Chaos aside 😭 I've made some progress on your gift...I don't really know how to describe it apart from killian's "you never forget your first"......I use that qoute way too much *help*

Sidetrack no 2: What's your favorite OUAT qoute?

Addressing this more seriously,I just hope you like it. I really wanna say more but I don't wanna give it away. In terms of completion I'm halfway through the story. Unfortunately, I have already spilled a secret or too, so I shall have to keep my lips sealed.

Oh, look, what's that.....I dropped something? What could it possibly be? *oh well I just noticed that you can't send media in an anonymous ask welp-* what a bummer...I'll defo try to share a bit of the second part when I'm done :)

With that I shall reign in the chaos...Stay safe and happy and I hope you have a great remainder of the week :))

Love your chaotic intro!!

This time of the year is my favourite so I understand your excitement! haha I've been good, little tired because of work. I work at a bakery and things are busier this month. Besides that, I've put up the Christmas trees (I have two, a small one in my room and a normal one in the living room) and decorations since the end of October! Way too early, I know but I couldn't help myself. Last year, I put them up tooooo late because of some problems but now that things are great again, I wanted to fix that! hahaha Where I'm from, it's a tradition to make two type of cookies. One is a honey cookie (melomakarono) that we soak into syrup (as soon as it comes out of the oven) and the other one is a butter cookie with roasted almonds (kourabies). I'm about to make more of them because we already ate the first batch. Sadly, it rarely snows and when it does it lasts like a day or so. It snowed last year and it was the first snow in 5-6 years! :((( In other parts of Greece, it does snow... it's just my island! *grumpy face*

What about you, Elf?? What are your traditions?

I really hope we can keep these events going for as long as possible because those are my favourite as well. Other favourite is all those AU fics because I do love reading my OTP falling in love with each other 4573478976 times in 9549058439058 different ways! haha We have so many great authors, seriously we're blessed! I'm afraid I'll forget someone.

OKAY OKAY, your spoilers/hints only make me even more excited!!! I'm sure I'll love it! Can't wait to read it!!!! It'll be great! Thank you so much for doing this!

My favourite quote has to be Killian's "A man unwilling to fight for what he wants, deserves what he gets." I think about this quote a lot! haha What about you?

Have a great week as well!!
