#FAQ Fics

[nanaslutt]

common questions i get asked abt reader/characters in my smaus:

1) the lore behind ino’s fear of getting oiled up is that reader gave him a massage once and hands (and fingers) went wandering (into ino’s butt) and he liked it more than he’s willing to admit but he’s too scared to open that door again (for now)

2) sukuna is true form sukuna in my smaus

3) reader is a hitman and works with toji and shiu in shius smau

4) reader has beef with sukuna in uraumes smaus because it’s silly, i think reader is a bit jealous of uraumes unwavering devotion to him

5) reader isn’t nanako or mimiko’s mom, i follow cannon so reader is just geto’s s/o to them

— FAQ

Do you accept fanart for your fics?

Yes! Fanarts are more than welcome. I will even feature them inside my fics. And if you want to create a cover/specific fanart for any fic, you can contact me through asks or messages and I’ll provide you with extra information about my personal reflection on it.

Can I add your fic on another platform?

No. If I wanted to, I would have. Do not add my works to any website. (Wattpad, Goodreads, Storygraph, etc.)

Do you accept translations for your fics?

Yes. Translations are more than welcome, but must remain on AO3. Also, apparently this needs to be said now, but I only accept human-made translations. Do not feed my work into AI machines to translate them. I do not approve of ANY use of AI in connection with my writing.

Can I download/bind your fics?

It’s up to you, but preferably please no. I don’t want these fics to be everywhere, but I can’t totally refuse because I understand the value of these fics to you. However, if you are binding them, 1. let me know and 2. bind them only for yourself. I do not allow any monetary profiting of my work. If you find someone selling my fics, please contact me.

Can I follow you if I’m one or any of the following: antisemitic, islamophobic, zionist, jkr-supporter, genocide-approver, racist, sexist, homophobic, disrespectful-of-any-human-being-for-any-reason?

No.

Can I call you by your name? And what pronouns do I address you with?

Yes, you can call me LJ! My pronouns are she/her. I’m more than happy to get to know my readers and fellow writers, so feel free to swoop in and contact me anytime.

welcome to the wonderworld of regulusrules✨

*kisses Anastasia au Donnie on the face repeatedly time*

You are literally the love of my life.

*runs*

(Yes. I will be going through the fic multiple times after it is completed.)

((Also, after it is finished do you think you would ever go back and make Mikey and Raph romantic routes as well? Just curious.))🩷🩷

AAAHHHH I am sparing Donnie from these shows of affection for now since

you know as of chapter 2 the MC barely knows them, all of these proposals and affection have gotten too much from them, as exhibited here

On a separate note, thank you!! I am very happy you like the fic so much!

Unfortunately adding Raph and Mikey is not in my plans and will not happen, as programming the game has proven time consuming enough as is with just Donnie and Leo.

In fact, Leo was going to be the only romanceable character at first but things changed, and adding Donnie was just better for what I planned too, but writing all the different encounters, interactions and the way dialogue changes is much easier when it's only them two as romanceable options.

🖤 Soukoku Mixtape Exchange 2025 🖤

Hello and welcome, I am excited to announce the first ever skk mixtape fic exchange, currently planned for 2025!

I am just getting started on fully planning this event out, however I wanted to start setting up a place to share information, run polls, and answer questions related to the exchange. As I move further along in the planning process, things will shape up into a more formal exchange blog, but for now I simply wanted a central location for everything to be held.

🖤🖤

What is a mixtape exchange?

A mixtape exchange is a fandom gift exchange where, instead of giving prompts, you choose a song to be used as the prompt. The person creating your gift will then pull their inspiration from the song you shared, using lyrics, rhythm, and/or tone of the song.

What is the theme of this exchange?

This particular exchange will focus on Soukoku, or the relationship between Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuuya from Bungou Stray Dogs.

What kind of works will be expected for this exchange?

For the first exchange, we will be open for fanfiction only. This is subject to change in the future.

🖤🖤

Meet the team

Abram / @altruistic-meme : creator of the exchange

- that's it for now! mods will be added as I find them -

🖤🖤

Please do not hesitate to ask questions or send feedback!

Thank you,

Abram 🧡

to be clear, i'm a huge fan of a thousand new au's popping up every time i look away from your blog, literally the funniest shit ever, HOWEVER i have lost track. is toxicity the reborn au au where obito is also reborn, or???

au ROUND UP

plasticity - og fic (tag: #fic: plasticity; chrono)

mutagenicity/"reborn au" - the time-travel style one where everyone is reincarnated as their old selves (tag: #reborn au; chrono)

toxicity/"reborn au au" - the AU of mutagenicity where obito is also reborn (tag: #reborn au au: it's gotten sillier; chrono)

(a)synchronicity - the one where plasticity!tori time travels to the third shinobi war and stalks minato (tag: #asynchronicity; chrono)

also i've started using the tag #toriverse for posts that cover multiple aus.

if you got lost but want to catch up, clicking the "chrono" link will give you all posts in that tag in chronological order. this will not necessarily reflect the order of events within the AU; they are the order in which things were decided & posted about lol (this will work in a browser but i'm not 100% sure how to access chronological tags in mobile)

[forgotten-daydreamer]

i can't wait for the 13th because i'll have some spare time to write. i have a whole fic ready in my head hhh just need the time to write it down

[eternalglitch]

I want to read your "Like Father, Like Son" fanfic, but it's not there. I went to your ao3, it's like it wasn't there.

I'm just going to have to direct you to my answer last time. Do you see the "log in" button at the top right. Yes? You click it. ✨Magical.✨ A whole new world of additional fics.

[foursaints]

do you have any rosekiller fics that embody the saintsvision because i really cannot keep scrolling on ao3 disappointedly for the rest of my life

they simply don’t exist anon it’s just you and me…..

[originalartblog]

Hello!!

Would you mind if someone wrote a fic using the tiny-[insert character] idea?

I was brainrotting hard over an AU where everyone has a tiny version of themselves, who acts like a child with no adult like restrictions (an unleashed inner child, you could say)

Oh for that you don't even have to give me credit/mention me unless you really want to, I didn't come up with the original idea of tiny-fying your faves, that's rather common and comes in many flavours!

If you're directly using my lore and stuff, like actively using my ideas, yeah I would like and prefer to be mentioned (and notified, as I've said before!), but if you got your own original spin that happens to resemble and/or was sparked by me or some other fan's ideas, that's an entirely different topic

[chaoticspeedrun]

Hi! I was wondering what sites and/or apps you used to make your interactive fic (the choices, the coding, etc.)? It’s AMAZING and I’m hooked! I love it so much 😭 I can’t wait to see more

Hi! I use Twine! It is a very friendly option to do this, I posted more information about how I'm using it and some guides for coding here:

Thinking about Lan Sizhui teaching Jin Ling how to play guqin.

Thinking about Jin Ling absolutely bored to tears by the fundamentals until he hears how beautifully Lan Sizhui plays and suddenly takes an interest (in the guqin, definitely the guqin, he’s interested in the guqin only, okay??)

Thinking about Jin Ling practicing outside of classes because he wants to impress Lan Sizhui by how much he’s improved and wants to make him proud and wants to see his face light up with a smile—I mean, what? No no no, he just wants to show initiative to learn, that’s all there is to it, nothing more. Nothing at all.

Thinking about Lan Sizhui finding Jin Ling asleep on his guqin after a night of wearing himself out with extra practice and gently waking him up to safely escort him back to his room so he doesn’t get caught by their seniors. Meanwhile, Jin Ling sleepily leans against him on the walk back to his room because it’s normal, he’s just tired, it’s obviously normal because Lan Sizhui slips his hand into his and smiles and Jin Ling’s heart feels like it’s on fire. Oh no.

Thinking about Jin Ling opening up to Lan Sizhui about his nightmares from all the trauma he’s endured and Lan Sizhui staying to play guqin for him until he falls asleep, each note chasing away every bad dream that tries to disturb him.

Thinking about them practicing guqin alone together the next day. And the day after. And the day after that—and they really are practicing but it’s a little hard to focus when Lan Sizhui keeps putting his hands over Jin Ling’s to move them to the correct strings, and Jin Ling’s face is a breath away from Lan Sizhui’s every time he leans over to help him.

It’s just guqin practice, that’s all there is to it, perfectly normal. 🩵💛

Also dc comics is trending so!! Allow me to throw my ao3 link into the void :D I wrote many DC works, check 'em out maybe!!

[totheblood]

how i make smaus

i've gotten this question so many times and i swear to you i am not gatekeeping! i wanted to make this post so i could add it to a faq i am making!

i use two apps: social maker & social dummy

NEITHER OF THESE APPS ARE STILL ON THE APP STORE!

1. HOW TO GET THESE APPS

so in order to get these apps you need to get it from someone else's apple account. to do this you can buy it off of someone who bought it before it was taken off of the us appstore (this is apple only) the seller i used and trust is @/whocse on twitter. YOU ARE BUYING THEM FROM THEM, they are not free.

here is a link to the twitter account.

their account may not be active anymore, if it isn't here is a link to another person who is selling the apps.

click the link in their bio to message them on whatsapp

WHEN YOU DOWNLOAD THE APPS FROM THEM MAKE SURE YOU GO TO THE STORE AND PRESS RESTORE PURCHASES! THIS IS SO IMPORTANT BECAUSE THIS ALLOWS YOU TO HAVE MORE FEATURES/ACCESS TO ALL FEATURES.

IN ADDITION TURN OFF "OFFLOAD UNUSED APPS" IN YOUR SETTINGS APP OR YOUR PHONE MAY OFFLOAD IT AND YOU WILL HAVE TO REBUY IT!! THESE ARE SO IMPORTANT!

<3

2. HOW TO USE THE APPS

i use social maker more, this is what i use for imessage chats and group chats, instagram accounts, tweets and twitter dms. i prefer this app and it's is easy to use. click on the icons and it will show you how to use them

social dummy is used for more casual things, i've used it to make fake youtube videos, the lockscreens, and fake phone calls, but it has options to make more like spotify, snapchat, netflix, the news, and browsers.... as i'm writing this i'm realizing i should be utilizing this app more...

you can send an ask if you have any issues with anything I have mentioned!
