Interview with Biswanath Datta

Retired Civil Engineer, Educator, Book Author, and Writer I’d kindly appreciate it if you could please share them so that more readers learn about these authentic writers and benefit from their insights🙏 Image courtesy of Biswanath Datta Dear readers and writers, welcome to my new interview story, which introduces a book author and an accomplished writer. I enjoy interacting with people from…

[greykolla-art]

Oh my god guys I’m so excited I simply have to share this here too! 🤡🤡🤡

Our Graphic Novel is finally out! (Only available in Icelandic though).

(Bad quality screenshot of the cover sorry I’m still waiting for my copy haha!)

Gahhh! Me and my friend have been working on it for 4 years I can’t believe it’s done!

He’s a writer and has published a few other books happening in the same world. That’s how I found him, by being a fan and now we are creative partners!😎😎

Comics are not that common here in Iceland, let alone ones with 161 PAGES !!! (Oh I almost died so many times) but there is a bit of a new wave happening now!

Look at this little psychopath! Had to draw him 100 times and never got tired of him!❤️❤️❤️

Just wanted to celebrate it with you all too, thanks for listening!😂

I made a few new wax seal stamps out of clay (like the ones I did for my worldbuilding stuff forever ago), this time just of random symbols that I thought might look good done in the style of painting over the raised part of the wax or etc. :0c Some of them aren't carved deep enough to really show up that well, but overall they worked okay for being clay lol

[muntitled]

just obsessively read the salesman series and your writing is just so wonderful it baffles me. also:

"Doll." The voice cuts through the chatter filling your brain. All at once, the car has stopped, and warm air rushes into the interior as he holds the door open for you. "Get out of the nice man's car." He jests politely, quickly prompting you to unbuckle your seatbelt and scramble out of the taxi. (he talks like such a dad)

“Don't do that.” He says darkly. “Don't disappoint me.” (this would make me faint)

“That's a good girl.” He coos, pressing a kiss to your forehead. The father you never had. (FUCKFUCKFUCKFUKCUDKCUDKYCKFUFKFUFKFUKFUCKC)

these just... get me. you're healing my father issues in the best and most fucked up way possible and i admire you for it. thank you for writing him this way, it fits his character so much. i am BEGGING you to keep incorporating these fatherly elements in your salesman fics you're SAVING me

THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS UP! That's what attracted me the veryyyy most to this character. I wanted to make him more fatherly then they hinted at in the show and I'm so glad you resonated with this cus same. Everytime I wrote a part about him being weirdly fatherly I had to take a pause and daydream. Guys I'd be so set if i had a boyfriend like this.

Anyway YAY

[yuseirra]

a family bigger than 4! side story 3-1 (ref to ch 132,133,136)

I felt this would be a very Ai thing to do if she healed and grew more confident with a lot of emotional support over the years!

I went and reread viewpoint B and 45510 to study the source material and Ai is an immensely sweet person...I could tell. Just a bit awkward but she's so lovely

So I don't understand why the writer would make the choice to neglect all her wishes like that. No matter how I see it, the ending of this story is so far from what she would have wanted and I feel so sorry for her

GUYYYSSS I FINISHED PERCI’S CHARACTER INTRO YAYAYYAYA

Joyous dayyyy

[gncbozo]

They're so bestie material <3

[foundfamilynonsense]

Y’know. Anakin was a real asshole in Ahsoka’s hallucination.

Like. She mentions something about what she’ll be able to teach her padawan one day, since all she’s being taught is how to be a soldier, and Anakin’s like “teaching’s not all it’s cracked up to be”

And like. Asshole move. And Ahsoka rightfully calls him out on it. And he goes on the whole “uuuh I was joking. Lighten up.” Literally a complete jackass.

But beyond how he answered the question, it’s a valid complaint Ahsoka is bringing up! Anakin’s teaching her how to live or die. But Ahsoka wants to be taught how to be a jedi.

What happens after the war is over (order 66 never happens) and she now has to navigate a galaxy without a war? The Jedi take teaching very seriously there’s no greater honor than teaching a padawan. And she’s not being accurately taught, so she will not be able to pass anything on to the next generation.

But Anakin brushes it aside because he simply does not respect her or her wishes. Like. He never wanted a padawan, despite teaching being foundational to the Jedi. And he only took ahsoka in because he started to like her and became attached to her. He doesn’t care about jedi legacy, not really. So he brushes her comment off with a joke.

But in the rest of the vision… idk it didn’t feel like we were supposed view Anakin as entirely wrong here. He wasn’t in the right, he was definitely channeling Vader and being an ass, but he was basically the reason Ahsoka survived the fall, right? Bc he was making her choose life? When Ahsoka wins against him it’s sort of like she’s both learned his lesson and moved beyond him. And then for the rest of the season he’s only talked about in positive ways.

And like. That one line ahsoka said was really powerful in relation to the entire point of the show. What does she have to pass onto her own padawan (Sabine) if she wasn’t properly trained herself? That is, perhaps, the only valid plot question asked in the entire show. And it doesn’t get an answer. It’s never even brought up again.

Chapters: 4/? Fandom: Good Omens (TV), Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett Rating: General Audiences

"Aziraphale why are you so distressed?" He had surprised him one day when he was trying to talk to God himself. "What you say to God you can say to me. What ails you?" "I-it's not important." Metatron had looked at him as a father looks at his son after a mischief: "Lying is not a thing for angels, Aziraphale. It's for that demon, isn't it?" Aziraphale had swallowed audibly. How long had it been since he had spoken of Crowley to anyone but in his prayers? "You offered him a place in Heaven, eternal holiness despite his sins. And he refused it. What do you have to reproach yourself for?" "Well ... even the humans chose Barabbas." "And indeed they enjoyed a few millennia, but now most of them will be condemned to hellfire." Aziraphale wrung his hands. "But Crowley is different-he is good." Metatron laughed. "Oh, dear boy, all those millennia on Earth must have confused your mind quite a bit. Let's have a review, shall we?"

Well well well my dearest friends, we got Chapter 4. A blast from the past. Hope you enjoy!

[cologona]

Well-written fic where all the bat clan members and their relationships are written with love and care. Except Jason, who is a plot device and is stuck with the Bad Victim Angry Unjustified characterization.

[the-obnoxious-sibling]

i have several drafts from back in january comparing some of my old man yaoi ™️ ships which i decided against posting at the time because, quite frankly, they were thoughts no one would appreciate but me. two of the ships i know have some overlap, but the third didn't fit. a different genre. too niche.

but, with a new deadpool movie out and other ppl seeing the buggy parallels, i might as well get this off my chest:

shuggy is cablepool.

(not movieverse cablepool, to be clear. (i enjoy movieverse cable but he is not my mutant messiah.) comics cablepool.)

the dynamic is eerily similar:

we have an occasionally slapstick murderclown with obvious issues about the unusual way he looks, who presents himself as only having selfish motives but is (sometimes) lying about that, is very hard to kill, is disliked by ppl who have to work with him and popular with and beloved by ppl who don't both in-universe and out!

and his ex-bestie, a massively overpowered would-be martyr who is missing a flesh arm, has three scars over one eye, whose continued fondness for the murderclown post-breakup baffles everyone around him (murderclown included), and who refuses to elaborate on his motives for doing shady shit (including manipulating our beloved murderclown) except that he's doing everything for the sake of the future

like. tell me that's not them.

You know... with how we know how carefully the writer's room is built each season, we can already surmise that Akasha won't be a huge feature in S3.

Thanks to @lisbeth-kk for tagging me.

Fic Writer's Meme

How many works do you have on ao3?

I have 28! 18 in Sherlock, 6 in Star Trek: Voyager, and 4 Good Omens.

What’s your total word count?

182,614, a majority of which is Kinesis, but as a person who has always struggled with completing things, the 100,000+ words that aren't Kinesis are a real victory in my head.

What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Kinesis (Mystrade), The Interrogation of Anthony Crowley, Witch (Ineffable husbands co-written with @mevima), Avast Ye Merry Gentlemen (Johnlock Christmas), The Bold and the Bruised (Mystrade 360MG), Atonement (Janeway/Chakotay post-series reconciliation).

Do you respond to comments? Why/why not?

Absolutely! I love comments. If I haven't responded to a comment it's only because life has been eating my brain and I will get to it once I've recovered.

What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending?

Probably All the Time it Takes to Wait, which is titled after a song I played obsessively at the time while I was dreaming up the scenario of Chakotay actually getting to have feelings about the whole Fair Haven disaster. Nothing is resolved but they have it out. The song is angsty and so is the fic.

What's the fic you've written with the happiest ending?

It's gotta be Kinesis. Not to overhype, but the ending is pretty satisfying and joyful.

Do you write crossovers?

I have the outline of a Sherlock/Star Trek crossover in my WIP pile.

Have you ever received hate on a fic?

No, but I can't wait. Bring it on, internet. I love an argument. I love to analyze the fears and insecurities of people who start fights on the internet over free content lovingly created and bravely posted. I am unhinged and ruthless.

Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Hell yes. Smut has been an essential part of my recovery from religion, both the reading and writing of. Smut is so revealing of a character's motivations, their vulnerabilitites, their desires. I think it's a marvellous thing.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not to my knowledge. If so, I'd rather not know.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

No.

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yes, the aforementioned The Interrogation of Anthony Crowley, Witch was so much fun to write with @mevima. It was way outside my comfort zone, kinkier and darker than anything else I've written.

What's your all-time favourite ship?

Johnlock and Mystrade are forever duking it out in my head. I also love Ed and Stede's speedrun enemies-to-besties-to-lovers dynamic in OFMD.

What's a WIP that you want to finish but don't think you ever will?

Never say never, right? I have another long one that could be a Good Omens AU set in Toronto in the early 90s. Because it's last on my list of long fics, I don't know when I'm going to get to it. Also all the garbage behaviour of a certain writer/creator has really sapped my enthusiasm for writing in the fandom right now. I had a thought to turn it into an OFMD fic but I'm not sure if or when I'll get around to it.

What are your writing strengths?

Dialogue is my friend. If I get stuck in a scene, I just make the characters talk and it helps me move on. Comes from a background in writing plays.

What are your writing weaknesses?

Endings! Spare me from having to finish anything. I get burnt out and distracted easily but I'm learning to manage it. I look forward to the times when the story really flows, but since most days are not like that, it's about finding ways to write the next 5, 10, 500 words.

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

Like so many things, I don't think there should be hard and fast rules about what writers can and cannot do. For me, I'd be inclined to check with a native speaker if I can find one, but keeping in mind that this is not a professional venture, I think foreign dialogue in fic is a "do your best and be forgiving" venture.

That said, if a writer chooses not to get a native speaker to weigh in on their usage and they get comments like "Hey you bum. Don't use google translate for this!" we have to be willing to take our lumps and seize the opportunity: "My hero! Will you look at the rest of my dialogue for me?" Fandom is about connection building.

What was the first fandom you wrote for?

My first creative writing project in first grade was an origin story for a talking boot puppet in a horrifying Canadian children's program called Readalong. But I had no idea what a fanfic was at the time.

My first intentional fanfic might have been an unpublished Sailor Moon or Mulder/Scully fic that may live on in a hard drive somewhere.

First fic on AO3 is actually poetry called Not a Romance about what Kathryn Janeway was thinking after the episode Resolutions.

What's a fandom/ship you haven't written for yet but want to?

Our Flag Means Death. Probably Ed/Stede but there are so many great characters, it might be hard to choose.

What's your favourite fic you've written?

Kinesis. It's the fic I've always wanted to write. It has some of my favourite vibes. And I derived great joy from firing Mycroft Holmes.

Tagging @hubblegleeflower @may-shepard @the-toad-in-your-piano @copperplatebeech @blogstandbygo @fearlessdiva930 @cirquedereve @antheiasilva if you feel like answering and haven't already been tagged. I tag anyone who sees this and wants to answer (please @ me in your response and I will reblog).

If you see this and you're more of a reader, tag your favourite writers in a reblog or the notes. Seriously, this goes for anything. If you tag me on your original posts, I will gladly reblog and hype your content.

[chlochette-sunde]

I did it...

My first fanfic is complete and fully available on AO3 : Chapter 7.

As a reminder, my fic is canon compliant and retells season 4 with Castiel's point of view.

The last chapter depicts episodes 4x21 and 4x22 (and no, I cannot be blamed for the way it ends).

Words: 4.968 for Chapter 7. 23.901 in total.

This journey has been such a blast, but also a therapeutic exercise. I wish there were more works and more episodes centered on Castiel and the way he sees things, because he's such an interesting and inspirational character.

I hope I honoured him as he deserves it. I'll be happy to read your thoughts about it 💙
