AO3 is a gift to God's green earth. Just read a fic on ff.net and I was slapped in the face with major character death without warning after 14 chapters. I'm not okay.

not to be a narcissist on main but sometimes i write a specific line or metaphor and just have to sit back and be like damn i am good

@katkastrofa: *writes a single throwaway line in one chapter of Lost and Found that is never referenced again*

Me, completely randomly and with no prompting: Alright, bet–

[destiel-wings]

context: I'm writing a LONG wip (should be 55 chapters, an actual epic story with action and plot though romantic destiel filter) and I'm thinking about when i should start posting it. Generally I'd want to finish first and post afterwards, so i can update regularly and not be distracted from the actual writing, but it's gonna take me way too long to finish it (like two years realistically??) so I'm thinking maybe i might start posting it before, even if less regularly? So i can share it with you earlier and you can engage with me as i write it?

wip wednesday: hoping to have all the fic revisions up by saturday (long shot tbh) or wednesday!

hey guys

[boleynqueenes]

Being as you are someone who writes about Anne Boleyn, I must ask you, which are your favorite portrayals of Anne Boleyn? I mean fiction (novels, film, tv) but also non-fiction. And, do you feel your fav portrayals have influenced you in the way you write Anne and her story? Your least favorite ones, do they have an influence too? Which ones are they? Thanks

If there's one with zero merit and/or minimal entertainment value I won't include it on the list, I'll say I'll ** = my absolute favourites and * = my compelling in some aspects, but tread with caution, and those sort of in between I'll leave alone.

Or rather, let's put it another way...* is worth a library rental or free Kindle borrow, whichever you have available, and ** is worth an actual purchase. Those without *...eh, I'll leave it to you.

And, do you feel your fav portrayals have influenced you in the way you write Anne and her story? Your least favorite ones, do they have an influence too? Which ones are they? Thanks

Pieces from everything influence me, Christopher Rae's and Gemma Lawrence's novels, for example, both had some of the best and credible portrayals of Henry Norris I've ever read, both in credible unrequited love (tying into, Anne's wariness thereof) that was forged into a weapon against him and for why he became such a favourite of HVIII's in the first place (would've included Jeff Lavender's thesis of Norris also, had you asked for beyond fiction and non-fiction books). The best parts of all of the above have inspired me to craft AB as a character at turns, sympathetic and unsympathetic: proud, courageous, intelligent, zealous, prudent (more in the 16c sense than 21c), fierce, jealous, sensitive, vindictive, unyielding, talented, compassionate, bold, spirited, pious, impassioned, loyal, loving ...somebody who inspired either complete devotion or implacable hatred, with very little in between, and felt comparable extremes towards her own family, friends, and adversaries.

From my least favourite...I try to remember that every choice she made was morally defensible and/or justifiable, from her own perspective, regardless of whether or not it actually was (and of course, they weren't always). I try to remember also that fear and insecurity can best explain some of her less palatable choices, as enumerated here. Basically, just that she was human and flawed, but also that there were many people personally (and often, religiously) invested in magnifying her flaws and reducing, or even outright omitting, her strengths. Obviously, that misogyny can also be a factor in some of her portrayals, is a salient remembrance to keep in mind, as well.

Hi! If you don't mind answering fanfic questions, what was you inspiration for nightjar's premisce ? I guess the idea comes from imagining claw attacking earlier and in a harsher way, but is there a theme or a message that you thought would be much better expressed through this specific au ?

Thank you for your writing, hope your family is well and that you're getting good rest ❤️

Hello!! I am always happy to answer fic questions!

The funny thing about Nightjar is that it came into being completely and entirely backwards. Claw taking over the world didn't have anything to do with it until the very end of the brainstorming phase.

My original thought was titled "Feral Teru" revolved around a Teru who lived on the street and was running from Claw. An AU where his parents didn't leave him with an apartment and he never attempted to keep up appearances. I wanted to get him off the street and give him kindness and a home... and yet I didn't want to stray too close to Issho and the concepts that I had already explored there.

I attempted to branch out further. Go deeper. I wanted to explore what it would take for a Teru who'd entirely lost trust in others to open up to Reigen or the Kageyamas. And that was my first major roadblock and story diversion. There was NOTHING. No scenario that I could whip up where this kind of Teru would willingly go to a second location with a stranger, reveal that he was an esper, take food, help, ect. from anyone. I was stuck. And whenever I get good and stuck with a fic, I know I need to make a big change.

So what if i inverted the trope? What if instead of getting the kid off the street... I got the family ON the street? What if Teru was able to have the advantage over them? The 411 on the bad guys? The experience in dealing with homelessness, and all the struggles that go with it?

Well, now THAT was not only a much more believable way for Teru to slowly talk with the group, and it was way more unique. I wouldn't end up repeating anything from Issho.

SO. What would get all the Kageyamas and Reigen out of their homes for extended periods of time? Hooray! Claw and a canon house fire! So I ended up switching the timeline up a bit and with that came a lot of fun themes to toy with:

Letting adults take the lead

It's okay to run away

What does a "good person" do?

There's a whole lot more that is going to happen in the story and I don't want to spoil anything, but believe me when I say there's going to be some big surprises. :DDDDDD I am excited!

The current plan is to finish Resonate by the end of the year and then get back to Nightjar. I am about halfway through chapter 6, so progress is being made. Finally.

Thank you for asking abut the family! It's been a rough road and having a baby (who doesn't sleep at night) and working, and trying to keep the house from being a dump is holy shit hard. I'm doing my best

chapter nine: out of the woods

Eddie was standing in front of two trees, peering between them, leaning forward and back like an artist looking at his canvas.

“Which one?” Steve asked, wrapping his arms a little tighter around himself. It was chilly out, and the snow—though it wasn’t falling too heavily—was that soft light drift that managed to work its way into any gaps between your scarf and coat.

Eddie snorted out a laugh and set off walking again. They’d been doing this for ages now, Eddie staring at trees until Steve asked him to pick, and then scoffing and moving on to other, similarly identical trees. They’d been out for what felt like an hour, though Steve had lost track of time when his toes had started to numb so it was hard to truly say.

“Come on, Eddie,” he pushed, digging his hands further into his armpits. “We’re going to run out of daylight here. Surely one of these trees is going to-“

I literally have six rizzles one-shots messily "done" and needing to be revised before posting. All I can say is at least my write-only, no edit phase produced something. I hope can edit things soon because I'm suffering...
