50 yr old omega Harry??? I request more information, please. But also for your wip bit. Uhm, problems

YOU CHANGED YOUR URL AGAIN BUT I LOVE THIS ONE A LOT.

Problems? Excellent word!

Ok so this one sentence will probably be a big ass spoiler. So SPOILERY CONTENT below the cut:

[[MORE]]

“If you decide not to terminate, we’ll take it day by day. There are more tests to run because, yes, more issues and problems tend to arise in geriatric pregnancies.”

Ok so this fic is divorced 50 year old omega harry, father of 3 grown children, who’s never really been in a relationship other than with his ex-husband. And that relationship was crap tbqh. He and Louis meet through a heat/rut matching service. There’s a bit of a mix up. Sort of. But Louis is 28. He helps Harry through his heat. And there’s an oops. Louis is uhhhh head over heels. Harry is hesitant.

I’ve got 41k and they just found out about the baby.

Fanfic Writer 20 Questions!

tagged by @lumiereandcogsworth I apologize in advance for what little is uncovered here today XD

Left your answers above so ppl can visit your stuff ;)

1. how many works do you have on ao3?

0 no one's ever introduced me to ao3. In fact it took me 2.5 tries to even type the name correctly XD

2. what’s your total ao3 word count?

0. I publish to tumblr ( https://trulyhopelessromantic.tumblr.com/fanfics ), Patreon www.patreon.com/trulyhopelessromantic and one completed fic on fanfiction.net The Haunted Manor which also has its own tumblr @thehauntedmanor

3. how many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

Honestly I'm not sure without going back through my various places that I post but let's just guess like...20 fandoms? I mostly have done one-shots, tbh

4. what are your top five fics by kudos?

Hard to say coz of this 'kudos' being from ao3 I imagine? Um for sure The Haunted Manor has the best out of anything I've ever written and published and I'm so proud of it! It's a sort of fanfiction but I consider it a retelling so it's slightly an AU slightly an original and slightly both lol

5. do you respond to comments? why or why not?

ALWAYS IF POSSIBLE. I so rarely get comments that I jump immediately to life again at a comment! Please, readers, comment like the old days when I was first on the internet XD

6. what’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

oh dang uh I don't even know. I'd have to go back through my one-shots I think but my Frankenstein one comes to mind... Victor -a Frankenstein (ballet) inspired work

7. do you write crossovers?

I have in the past, yes ^_^ Mostly when I did 'Fanfic Fridays' way back like almost 10 yrs ago haha

8. have you ever received hate on a fic?

One time someone thought I was being passive aggressive in asking for reviews for The Haunted Manor so she told me so in her comment before tearing apart one of my chapters. Still think of that. I've also had a few ppl in recent years say some comments that I thought were uncalled for and very... unfounded. From friends too. One told me "I'm so glad you're going back and editing your first book A Promise Kept because it wasn't actually very good (or some bullshit like that) and I was so taken aback because 1) she'd always praised the book 2) she's never published anything because she rarely finishes anything (and if she has she hasn't shared it) 3) my novel was not 'trash' or whatever word she used. But I digress because that was an original story/novel and this is about fanfiction haha oops!

9. do you write smut? if so, what kind?

Not usually but I've made 3 attempts at it. One I decided to tastefully just go for that nsfw content with Daughter of Death on Patreon while the other two times were (well...) probably not really considered smut really because I was too shy to put anything too out of my comfort zone at the time. Those are tagged in my tumblr fic page with indications in advance haha

10. have you ever had a fic stolen?

I have run into a time when fanfiction.net was replicated on some other site and I had to get my fic shut down off of there. Tumblr and some random post about the replicas gave me the heads up. This site isn't just a hellsite haha

11. have you ever had a fic translated?

not to my knowledge so if so then number 10 applies haha

12. have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yes with my good friend Vicky @vampiratesgrl through our blog @fantasydrabble and once a three way split through that same blog! I write daily with a friend of mine in our own RP style fics

13. what’s your all-time favorite ship?

impossible to answer because I am after all a truly hopeless romantic. But, I'm pretty proud of my couples in The Haunted Manor! They all warm my heart dearly!

14. whats a wip that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

my other fanfic on fanfiction.net lol I started it soooo long ago in Jr High I believe and though I recall what happens I don't know that I'm interested to write it out for the world lol especially coz I'd have to re-read info again on Digimon which it is based in ;)

15. what are your writing strengths?

emotion, dialogue and well I dunno because it's been so long since anyone has told me specific comments. But for The Manor people enjoyed how I took something existing and made my own story while still making it familiar and the changes to extend scenes were (for most people) described as better than the original film did it. And that makes me feel good! ^_^

16. what are your writing weaknesses?

setting. I am so vague often because it's vague in my own head. My stories are set in relationships and emotions and less in a solid physical space when I think them up. I need to work on that!

17. what are your thoughts on writing dialogue in another language?

I like it but for goodness sakes if you do it and I have to go and translate everything because I have no background or knowledge or context for what might be being said then I'm annoyed! So I try to use it sparcely and when I do it's either easily figured out or something like that

18. what was the first fandom you ever wrote for?

online? Erm I guess that Digimon fanfic. But before that there was some imagined stuff for a bunch of things that I suddenly cannot recall at this time XD

19. what’s your favorite fic you’ve ever written?

Gots to be The Haunted Manor because it's close to my heart with what the story contains, it's longer than my actual first novel haha, I have the most feedback on it and my one-shots are often requested by people and I just type it out and don't easily recall them to mind later on without some stimulus reminding me that I wanna go back and reread it haha

20. who do you tag?

@shakespearevillain if you want to and any writers who have read to this line hahaha

Fanfic Writer 20 Questions!

tagged by @misscrazyfangirl321 thank u :))

1. how many works do you have on ao3?

48 in total! 46 for batb lol

2. what’s your total ao3 word count?

115,935 !!!

3. how many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

okay i mean, technically i have three on ao3. i wrote ONE fic for law & order svu and it’s an entirely irrelevant fic now because what i wrote about HAPPENED. but people still read it every now and then so i just leave it up. and i also wrote an epilogue fic for the netflix film juanita. i’m not in that fandom cuz that fandom doesn’t really exist but i watched the movie for a film class and i literally turned that fic in as my project for it (yes i got 100% yes go read the fic). so pretty much all i write for is beauty and the beast 2017, my beloved :)

4. what are your top five fics by kudos?

1. his perfect reality

2. after the kiss

3. sunrise, anew

4. sleepless nights

5. do me the honor

all batb 2017, and i think those are also my most read fics just in different order, so this checks out!

5. do you respond to comments? why or why not?

i do! i always try and say thanks and show my appreciation for my readers cuz yeah i’m writing for me but gosh we love the feedback, lads

6. what’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

fading memories is your dream, for SURE. 99% of my fics end in a very happy and fluffy way. the only ones that end angsty are my young adam fics, and that one is the Big Boy Prequal Fic that ends in a perfectly tragic way that should lead you right to the beginning of batb 2017. it’s all angst, man.

7. do you write crossovers?

no but i’m not against them! i think they can be fun :) emily and i have an ongoing crossover universe but we’ve never written any fics it just exists through our insane texts and incorrect quotes sjdksj

8. have you ever received hate on a fic?

thankfully, no! the batb readers are all very kind and sweet!! (or at least the ones who read my fics lol)

9. do you write smut? if so, what kind?

nope nope the furthest i’ll go is making out and even then i’m not graphic or detailed at all

10. have you ever had a fic stolen?

no not that i’m aware of 👀 is someone out there stealing my domestic fluff???

11. have you ever had a fic translated?

again not that i’m aware of but i would be so honored

12. have you ever co-written a fic before?

well no not besides me and @ilikebigassbuttsandicannotlie’s crossover universe but it’s not exactly in fic form. and i collab’d with @drawnby27emilys but i did the writing and she did the illustrating, we stuck to our strong suits, lol.

13. what’s your all-time favorite ship?

adam and belle from beauty and the beast 2017 are quite nearly the only ship i have paid any attention to in the last 4 years!!

14. whats a wip that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

hmmm. maybe i’m just optimistic but i feel like i’ll get to everything eventually. there’s one really long fic that i’ve written so many bits and pieces of but never just sat down and written it. mostly for technical plot reasons that i just don’t spend enough time trying to work out. OH! there’s that fic idea i got from that dream i had where it was modern au and adam had a little sister. SHOOT bro i do wanna write that. i wrote so much dialogue for it that next day but the wip itself is hardly anything :(

15. what are your writing strengths?

setting the scene and just painting the picture really nicely so you can see everything clearly. little details that make you feel like you’re watching it. i don’t know, character blocking? i think about what they’re doing a lot, with their hands or where they’re looking or whatever. also i think i’m pretty good at dialogue but that’s just cuz adam and belle are in my head all day long so i know their voices very well

16. what are your writing weaknesses?

conflict for sure. i’m too much of a fluffy writer!! i don’t like writing arguments or them getting mad at each other unless it’s stupid domestic stuff then it’s funny. i’m really good at writing the reconciling/making up lol but i seriously need to work on creating conflict. i just get too attached and i don’t like to see them fight even though i know everyone does and it’s a part of building the relationship >:( and even if it’s not adam and belle i just need to be better at writing it in general, for my oc’s and such. do it for the kids, lyd!

17. what are your thoughts on writing dialogue in another language?

it’s very cool in the correct context!! i can’t do it really but hell yeah!! obviously with batb being in france i sometimes use french terms of endearment, mostly for lumiere lmao, but that’s about all i’m capable of! in my recent kiddos fic i tried out some familial titles like pépère for grandpa maurice and tata & oncle for auntie plumette and uncle lumiere <3 that was fun!

18. what was the first fandom you ever wrote for?

bbc sherlock babeyyyy. i used to hand-write sherlock childhood fic in a journal??? i didn’t even know what fic was i just liked giving him a backstory haha. i did the same for loki but in my phone notes app. i’m nothing in not a sucker for the sad and innocent childhood backstories of very sad men apparently!

19. what’s your favorite fic you’ve ever written?

oh man this is so hard. i’m proud of a lot of my work! majesty of a different breed comes to mind honestly. it’s one of my longer ones and i just truly love how it turned out. i think my descriptors are so good and i capture adam and belle’s dynamic as a newly married couple really well, i think. and i give them a dog! how can you not have a good time reading that fic!

honorable mentions to easy to remember, harder to move on — my maurice memories fic that i also really love. AND fading memories is your dream! my longest work and gosh, i really do love the tragic backstories bro!!! big proud of both of those too :)

(and this one cuz it’s too soft and i’ll never not love seeing my otp be the sweetest parents ever)

20. who do you tag?

if you’re a writer and you wanna do this you can totally say i tagged you!! but i’ll tag some writers off the top of my head! @leighswhannell @ilikebigassbuttsandicannotlie @lumiereswig @myfellowcandlesticks @thesadchicken @sweetfayetanner @tinydooms @trulyhopelessromantic @ceasarslegion

[altruistic-meme]

so you’re telling me that Drottningholm Palace is a tourist destination. so. so Simon could technically just fucking. go to Wilhelm’s house. like casually and legally he can do that.

[altruistic-meme]

got distracted looking into drottningholm palace and the swedish monarchy and writing 2300+ words of notes and plans and little scenes and i didn’t even realize im supposed to be going to sleep right now but i haven’t even BEGUN to get ready for it

[altruistic-meme]

it’s called a ROUGH draft for a reason. it’s called a ROUGH draft bc it is meant to be ROUGH it isn’t meant to be nice yet. it’s a ROUGH draft. it’s okay. 

[altruistic-meme]

i am just shy of making a post asking if anyone wants to beta my fic bc im a nervous wreck and i don’t know that many people in the yr fandom yet ;;;;

[altruistic-meme]

lmaooo not me writing 300 words of Kristina being a good mom as i plan out the fic skdhskdhf

[altruistic-meme]

WIP sunday ✌

a small excerpt from my new Young Royals fic, working title “Amaranthus Caudatus” 

[altruistic-meme]

and oh how the research continues. how would you refer to a school by name in sweden????

[altruistic-meme]

im just casually poking tumblr in a hope for content bc the alternative is writing

[altruistic-meme]

i am putting in a normal amount of research for this fic *has a 112 page pdf about becoming a principal in sweden open in another tab*

[altruistic-meme]

an hour past the time i should have gone to sleep, 3200+ words written, several long dives into various wikipedia articles and official websites, a couple of scene rewatchs, and 1/2 betas acquired, and finally, finally i’ve decided that maybe i should actually go get in my bed.

[altruistic-meme]

ok to sum things up; everyone is very Human and has good and bad traits but are all ultimately capable of Growth and goddamn it if i won’t fight for it.

lmaooo not me writing 300 words of Kristina being a good mom as i plan out the fic skdhskdhf

[altruistic-meme]

i was already annoyed bc of how the writing was but now seeing that i still have only 900+ words, not even a full 1000, is just. HHGHH. why can the story not just appear how i want it to, in full?? why must i struggle first through the bad writing that takes long enough to trick me into believing i’ve written more than i haveeeeee

it’s called a ROUGH draft for a reason. it’s called a ROUGH draft bc it is meant to be ROUGH it isn’t meant to be nice yet. it’s a ROUGH draft. it’s okay. 

[altruistic-meme]

hated it so much that i literally just decided to rewrite it instead of editing it and it has, somehow, worked. i hate it less now. wild.

it’s called a ROUGH draft for a reason. it’s called a ROUGH draft bc it is meant to be ROUGH it isn’t meant to be nice yet. it’s a ROUGH draft. it’s okay.
