@tumblingghosts convinced me to do this

New ask game! If you want me to design a pfp for you or a logo of any kind, send an ask (preferably with some key words, colors or concepts so I have a vague idea of what you’d want, but not required!!) and I’ll try my hand.

If there’s anything you don’t like or want changed somehow, just tell me and I’ll do what I can 💜 don’t feel pressured to use it either

[fictionkinfessions]

there's a character whom i used to love and was very attached to them at one point in my life. my attachment towards them did lessen since i didnt really engage in the stories that included said character. after something happened in my life i straight up started hating them. but now... ive come to the realization that i may kin said character and idk how to feel about this. 💀 this is worded extremely badly but i had to get this out of my chest. this is so embarrassing.

[practically-an-x-man]

ok y'know what. I'm tired of all the same questions in ask games so I'm taking matters into my own hands

OC/Writing Art Asks

For the character:

Pencil: does this character have any "sketchy" habits? Have they ever broken the law? Do they regret it?

Pen: what's one minor moment your character regrets? A small mistake, but something they "can't erase"?

Paintbrush: How often does your character "brush over" conflict instead of facing it head on? Is there something specific they don't like to face, or do they avoid conflict as a whole?

Marker: what's one thing your character would never tattoo on their body, even if they were paid a million dollars for it?

Crayon: what was your OC like when they were four years old? Were they loud? Shy? Were they the resident "weird kid" or did they get along with others their age?

Colored Pencil: if given the choice, would this character splurge on an expensive (but potentially worthwhile) branded product, or buy a low-budget alternative even if the quality suffers?

Copics: what is this character's most expensive habit or hobby? Do they ever feel guilty about the money they spend on it?

Graphite: what's something decently common that your character does in a unique or different way? (like how graphite is present in all pencils, but not everyone uses pure graphite)

Charcoal: share any unique physical features about this character that are not scars or tattoos.

Tortillon: does your OC "blend in" with the people around them? Physically? Metaphorically?

Pastels: Give me three colors that best represent your OC. Now give me three colors that your OC likes best. Is there an overlap?

Chalk: what was one activity this character enjoyed with their sibling(s) as a kid? If they don't have siblings, what they did with their neighborhood friends

Eraser: what's one way this character has changed over time? Either over the course of their story, or over the course of designing them as an author.

Palette: list four of your character's primary skills, then share at least two ways these skills might blend or overlap

For the work:

Starry Night: are there any scenes in this work that take place at nighttime? Is this significant, or just the passing of time?

Mona Lisa: oh, it's the fanfic writer's favorite word. Do a find-and-replace on the word "smirk" and share any lines that pop up.

The Scream: are there any moments in this work that you think could scare a reader? Are there any moments where the characters themselves are profoundly scared?

Persistence of Memory: are there any moments in this work where a character's memory plays a strong role? Either an individual memory, or simply a character's ability to recall the past.

Girl With a Pearl Earring: are there any moments in this work where a character's clothing or accessories play a major role?

The Kiss: share your favorite kiss scene from this work. If there's no kiss scene, share your favorite moment of intimacy (romantic or platonic)

American Gothic: what's one relationship between characters in this work that you think people wouldn't expect? (i.e., how the people in American Gothic are not married, they're the painter's sister and dentist)

Guernica: look through a few of your imagery/descriptions in this work. Are they generally straightforward, or are they more "abstract"?

Wheatfield with Crows: are there any scenes in this work that involve birds? Do the birds play a definitive role, or are they simply part of the setting?

Woman with a Parasol: are there any moments in this fic that feel "blurry" to you? Is this a stylistic choice, or would you go back and clarify the descriptions if you were given the chance?

A Sunday Afternoon...: pick one "little moment" from this fic. How representative is it of the fic's tone and story as a whole?

Creation of Adam: choose one character that is not present at the beginning of this work. How did you introduce them into the story?

The Swing: are there any moments in this fic where the characters get to slow down and have fun? If not, why is that?

The Last Supper: does this fic incorporate any symbolism based on religion, theology, or mythology? If so, give an example.

For the author:

Paper: Who do you feel is your most two-dimensional or underdeveloped OC? Why is this? (including those that are still in development/haven't been written about yet)

Canvas: Do you ever "prep" your fics with outlines or warmups before you start writing, or do you just dive right in?

Graffiti: Have you ever had to research something that felt illicit or illegal for a fic? What was it?

Photography: What's one moment from any of your fics that you feel is preserved in your memory?

Clay: Do you usually take time to "sculpt" your OCs before you write them, or develop them as you write?

Film: Which one of your fics do you think would work best if turned into a movie? Who would direct it?

Adhesive: when you write, do you usually "stick" to one character or story for a while, or bounce around various characters and ideas?

Cricut: are there any characters you've had to "cut" from a story? Are there any moments/chapters/stories you've had to "cut" entirely?

Felting: how often do you include soft moments when you write? Do these moments play a role in the main plot, or do you include them as an escape from the rest of the story?

Weaving: are your works typically similar to one another? Pick two works, and share one similarity and one difference between them.

Finger Painting: share a small snippet from your earliest work (or the earliest that you can get back to). How would you rewrite it today? Either share the rewrite itself or just describe how you'd do it.

Creative!: free space! share something you've been dying to share about your writing! Could be an OC that never gets the limelight, a moment you were proud of, or anything else you'd like to share

an only-slightly-weird fanfic writer ask game

Hi! It's an ask game for you to reblog too! If you want to. Not if you don't. I'm not the boss of you.

Instructions: send a number (and fic title[s], where applicable, according to the question)

1. Give a glowing review of this fic. Say everything you like about it. Do not hold back.

2. If you wrote this fic again, what would you change about it? Why?

3. What's a scene, idea or line that you cut from this fic? Why?

4. The writer now has to swap places with one of the characters in this fic! Pick one. Explain your reasoning. There will be a test.

5. #5 is a free space in which your gentle readers can ask you about whether or not you're going to update this fic and/or what was going to happen before you put it down to go lie down in perpetuity. (They have 24 hours. Let's not go crazy.)

6. FMK YOUR OWN FICS EDITION. Select one each of these three fics to fuck, marry, or kill.

7. If you had to delete one of your fics, which one would it be? Why?

8. Let's make a sampler! It should not necessarily be your best fics or your worst fics, but rather your most on-brand fics. The ones that represent your style (for better or for worse). Pick up to 5.

9. What's a fic idea you've had and liked that you haven't tried to write, and why?

10. If you had to write a fic for a fandom and ship you've never written in before, which would it be and why?

11. What's a fic that's been in your WIP folder for ages that you haven't posted ANY of? Why haven't you posted it?
