Oooooo what's the bodyswap file? 👀

[Referring to this post!]

Hi, thank you so much for the ask! I LOVE bodyswap fics so I wanted to try one of my own, which is why I have this fic!

It's a story set after the end of the main Alesseia story so I can't say too much about it, but I can say that it's a twist on the usual bodyswap fic because there are three characters swapping bodies!

The basic premise is Axel and Raven (the latter technically not being a main character of Alesseia, but playing an important supporting role) are working on some magical experiments together when Nathan comes in. Nathan and Raven get into an argument and Axel's unable to get Raven's attention in time for the experiment to go wrong, leading them to swap bodies. Axel ends up in Raven's body, Raven ends up in Nathan's body, and Nathan ends up in Axel's body. They keep it a secret (of course) from their other friends while trying to find a way to return to their original bodies.

Axel, Nathan, and Raven are known among people who are familiar with Alesseia as the Terrible Trio, mainly because I really love all these characters way too much. All three combinations (Axel/Nathan, Axel/Raven, and Nathan/Raven) are very interesting dynamics for me regardless of whether they're romantic or not, and that's why a lot of non-main story works feature them the most. This story is basically a huge excuse for Nathan and Raven, who start off as enemies, to get together HAHA

If you (or anyone else reading this ask) would like to hear more, let me know! I can't post it in public because it's still very spoilery despite being an AU, but I'd love to talk about it in private if ever!

seeing that "text fic" among the list of wips and wondering what it is!! (@alesseia)

Hi @alesseia ! The "text fic" is my Steddie fanfic AU set in more modern time where Eddie and Steve start texting without knowing who the other one is at first. Robin also features as a main character with her own chapters and I toss in others sometimes as well.

In this AU, featuring a few changes and twists, Steve has adopted Max and is a single father trying his best.

The text fic is named "I'm not always clever with the words I use", and is on hiatus at chapter 53 currently. It features texts between our characters but also written scenes, such as their first date.

Interested parties may find the link here.

🔪🍓 for the truth or dare asks! :)

(writer truth or dare ask game!!)

🔪 ⇢ what’s the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?

God, I KNOW I've researched a lot of niche topics but nothing's coming up to me right now for "weirdest" 😅

Recently I've been trying to write a oneshot for an AU of my OCs as aquatic bird-themed knights in a fantasy setting based on pre-/early colonial Philippines, so a lot of my research has been various types of aquatic birds. They're actually pretty interesting! Like, did you know that there's a duck that is basically a cuckoo in terms of breeding, meaning that they lay their eggs in other ducks' nests? Anyway my OC Nathan is now a black-headed duck knight in this AU so that I could recreate his parental issues HAHA

🍓 ⇢ how did you get into writing fanfiction? 

I've always been a writer at heart, though primarily for my OCs, since I was really young, like 10 years old or so. Prior to that age, I used to daydream about myself interacting and going on adventures with my favorite fandom characters like Yugi Mutou from Yu-Gi-Oh, Red from Pokémon Adventures, and Kazemaru Ichirouta from Inazuma Eleven. I didn't even read fanfic at that age but I had made all sorts of trope-filled scenarios like bodyswap and genderswap, all that jazz, so maybe I was just destined for fanfic LMAO

With all that background, it's honestly surprising that I didn't start writing fanfiction until I was like, 15 or 16? Though, my aunt had banned me from going on ffnet, so I had refrained from reading fanfic until I discovered AO3, and it took a bit longer for me to come out with an AU that I wanted to read but nobody had made yet.

I've always been more of an OC person so nowadays my fanfic tends to be for OC-based fic like what I write for the Nuzlocke forum, but I do want to write and publish some stuff for this really niche ship I've got for a different fandom, so I wouldn't say I'm opposed to writing more canon character-based fic. We'll see, haha.

[alesseia]

make me write: poll!!

jumping on the poll bandwagon because I have not touched Scrivener in FOREVER (read: two weeks)

unfortunately, I do not have multiple stories like most people on Writeblr since I keep fixating on the same story and its characters, lmao, so IDK if I can do the same thing everyone else is doing

HOWEVER, I will be taking my thesis in BFA Creative Writing this year and I am going to do doing something based on my main story! I was planning on finishing Book 1 (which I already have 4 chapters for), but my thesis adviser is heavily discouraging I do a full novel (minimum requirement for word count is only 15k and we're supposed to finish writing that with revisions by early December) so I've got a bunch of backup plans just in case I can't convince her!!

so here's a poll + bonus read more for further description of thesis ideas!!

Book 1 (Excerpt)

This is actually the option my adviser recommended the most. I have already written the first four chapters, even doing major revisions, and that already hit the 15k minimum word count, so she said that just revising these chapters would be the easiest option.

My biggest gripe with this is that I don't want to end it after Chapter 4. It ends on a mediocre cliffhanger, and we don't meet the other two main characters until later on. Not to mention, the BFA CW majors in my university get to (independently) publish and sell copies of their thesis at the end of the year, so it would be much more satisfying if I do the full Book 1.

Anthology: Thematic

I was thinking I could do instead a thematic short story collection linking the common traits of the main characters (Axel, Avery, Leandro, and Nathan). Each of the short stories would focus on a different MC's backstory. The central theme would be their loneliness.

The stories are (without giving away certain plot twists in Book 1):

AXEL: a story about a group of friends playing together, which turns out to be a product of Axel’s imagination

AVERY: the story behind the fallout with her ex-friends

LEANDRO: Leandro talking to his family about getting friends while figuring out he's a trans guy

NATHAN: Nathan talking to other children working under his drug pimp spirit stain dealer

Anthology: Characterization

This one was inspired by fanfiction, specifically the concept of the same characters in alternate universes. How can you tell the character is still the same character when they have a completely different backstory and setting? Up to where do you draw the lines?

The various settings are:

Historical — Pride and Prejudice but set in the late Spanish colonial period and from the POV of Elizabeth’s (Avery) best friend (Axel)

Sci-fi time travel — From 2099 CE, Axel is asked to travel to 2013 Metro Manila to chase after a time-traveling criminal (Raven)

Urban fantasy (Aswangs) — Axel the friendly manananggal helping their friend Leandro, who recently discovered they’re a manananggal

Modern real-life — Axel signing up their friend Nathan on a blind date auction during high school fair season

Alesseia (Original) — Axel discussing how to beat Rex with all of their friends

Anthology: Timeline

A short story collection featuring the same character, likely Axel, at different points in the series. The series is divided into three arcs, so it would likely be:

Before Arc 1

Between Arcs 1 and 2

Between Arcs 2 and 3

After Arc 3

The Actual Book 1

The actual book 1 of Alesseia. Tentatively titled the Dragon's Deed. I really, really, REALLY want this, but like. it's gonna be what, 50k words 😭 so unless I pull a NaNoWriMo again, I can't blame Ma'am

Anyway if you read all that, thank you SO much!!! I really appreciate your support 😄 wishing you the best of luck with writing as well!!
