fic recs, some positivity for your blog!!

(all on ao3, it's all i use)

"only the brave" by solmussa is genuinely my favourite fic ever (in my years of obsessive fanfic reading), it's got jegulus, wolfstar, dorlene, rosekiller, pandalily, amazing ocs (elspeth fawley my love my darling my beloved), MOONWATER FRIENDSHIP SUPREMACY, regulus being an evil (not actually) mastermind and literally i like fucking cannot. i cant even begin to describe how much i love this fic, 100/10 absolutely recommend reading if you haven't already [completed, 64 chapters, 645k words]

"go east" by xinasvoice is a wolfstar howls moving castle au, literally need i say more [completed, 11 chapters, 84k words]

"threes family" and it's sequel "eights company" by darkbluedark, im obsessed with marauders time travel fics if you couldn't tell [threes family is complete, 5 chapters, almost 20k words; eights company is a wip, 3 chapters, 15k words]

"the golden king" by maladaptivewriting, another time travel fic!! jegulus, wolfstar, drarry, regulus being a slayboss icon as per usual [wip, but already has 123 chapters and almost 500k words]

"into the dark" by phantomgrimalkin another time travel fic!!! wolfstar, jily, drarry, bastard rat ass motherfucker albus dumbledore [complete, 20 chapters, 88k words]

"(i will) wear you down" by rainiris is an amazing motherfucking concept, really slow updates but is absolutely worth it. jegulus, wolfstar, marylily, dorlene, past jily (and harry!), basically regulus fakes his death but james goes looking for him, the cutie patootie [wip, 18/32 chapters, 121k words]

"you only live twice" by drift99 is also really good, it's wolfstar, jily (jegulily later on ehehe), polyamory time travel bullshit (literally my favourite kind of bullshit). remus and hermione saving the world, underrated friendship tbh [completed, 47 chapters, 95k words]

"anti-hero" by rweoutofthewoods has jegulus, wolfstar, bamf regulus, moonwater friendship!!! regulus fakes his death, but remus finds him. platonic soulmates istg. also has marylily but it doesn't end well for them :((… [completed, 41 chapters, 237k words]

"dear your holiness" by mollymarymarie is basically, at it's barest bones, a wolfstar fleabag au. priest remus lupin, modern au, sorta-partly-kinda texting fic, very very sacrilegious, and a happy ending! [completed, 12 chapters, 142k words]

"saccharine" by moonymoment is a sweet little (maybe not little, but shorter than my usual 100k+ word fics) wolfstar modern ghost au! background jily, happy ending, basically sirius is a ghost that haunts remus' apartment and its really domestic

if you've read any/all of these pls lmk what you think i love to talk about the marauders

OMG HIIII

I also only use ao3 so don't you even worry 😭 ao3 is my baby I live there

THIS IS PERFECT TIMING bc i started only the brave last year big for some reason stopped? Idk if it was school work or something but I've been telling myself that this summer im gonna read it all the way through because I remember loving the writing and the story so I can't wait to sit and get all the way through it again. I've already seen so many spoilers but I'm gonna pretend I haven't 💀

I've been subscribed to the golden king since Reg's first Diagon trip and it LOVE IT SO MUCH 😭 the bond with Harry, the relationship with Sirius creeping back, the entire MESS with James. I love it. So good.

Okay about like real people do 😭 I SWEAR I MUST HAVE READ IT???? I love time-travel and I love Jegulus and I love long fics....and I SWEAR it rings a bell in my mind so tell me why I just went over to ao3 to double check and I literally cannot remember it 😞 maybe I read a bit then lost the tab???? Or started smth else and forgot to go back???? Either way it's going back onto the tbr bc why the hell would I not have read it all that's insane. Thank you for reviving my pea-memory so I can come back to this one 🙏

I LOVE ANTI HERO SO SO MUCH DUDE like I remember reading it last year and not putting my phone down until it was done, it's a PROBLEM. Whenever I think about reg lives I think about that even when I've read so many others with the concept it's just so...AAAAA. The desert scene of forever stuck in my mind for some reason idk 😭

I personally will probably not read the others (the people who know my blog could smell this coming, I see you) because wolfstar and jily aren't really my thing anymore (I dealt with a few elitist/aggressive fans over the years which has unfortunately just completely put me off being able to enjoy any content for them anymore :( still makes me sad icl) but!! I will tag it with them so all the people who DO love them can see these recs and go and read them if they haven't already because the premises look SO cool

[mirrortouchedsea]

hello >:) i was curious about the ghost rinne idea you mentioned a while ago... if you aren't vibing with those thoughts anymore though, i'm still curious about the ink blood sister scribe au, and also the apocalypse au (especially the kaname and tatsumi side. what is Happening there)

okay so this is going to be a long one i think so it's going under the read more. also sorry everyone no wip wednesday today you get whatever this is going to be instead.

Ghost Rinne

So if you've talked to me like. At all you know i just adoreeeeeee ghosts and ghost stories they're my favorite okay so obviously ghost Rinne is such a concept to me. I've talked about him being stuck trying to protect Niki, keep him from making whatever mistakes that originally led to their mutual deaths (I'm still kinda in between what I want that to be but it's probably just gonna be a car accident while they're doing something idol related.). It's like an evil fucked up time loop that lasts years and Rinne is doomed to die in every universe and if he isn't then Niki dies and neither of these are exactly great outcomes. His ghost haunts Niki before he even meets him and maybe if he meets ghost Rinne he'll avoid becoming an idol but he'll never meet the Rinne in this loop. It's convoluted and maybe not really a ghost story but also i need to gnaw on them so so bad.

2. Ink Blood Sister Scribe AU

So since I finished the book since I wrote the original drabble I knowwwwwww that other scribes weren't really a thing until one of the MCs shows up but listen we're not going for super duper canon to the book here Rinne is a scribe his blood can make magic and he had to run away from his hometown to protect them (though they did tell him what he could do and it's something that used to be common in their bloodline as leaders of the village that died out one day for unknown reasons that r revealed in the book.) He ends up with Niki per usual and they end up on the run after the first year where Rinne realizes someone is watching them and trying to chase them down. They spend a year somewhere and then leave on a specific day and go somewhere else. I think when the events of the book end where everything is undone and scribes can actually be born again it takes a while for him to find out from his family and village because suddenly Hiiro can do it too and Rinne slowly loses the feeling that people are watching him. He's been using his magic to write spells to help people pretty much the whole time and Niki helped with the herbal blends to mix into the ink to make the spells more potent so they're still practically inseparable but now they don't have to worry about someone finding them anymore and now Rinne is dying from blood loss since there's nothing stopping him from making spells for everyone to help them out /j. HiMERU and Kohaku definitely fit in here somewhere I think they're mailing spells back to them during the initial period of being on the run all the time to help out with x y z job they have. Probably weird assassin stuff who knows.

3. Tatsukanas in the Post Apocalypse AU

So wrt the fic I posted back in January and I know I told u this on discord already but for everyone else reading here the plan was bc I am a slut for fantasy I did have to include a little bit in this with Tattsun but. After the initial encounter with Tatsumi and Kaname decides to stay with him, Kaname gets bitten and Tatsumi is able to heal him with some magic in the church but it ties Kaname to the church specifically so if he leaves then the disease just. speeds up and will kill him. So Kaname is effectively church bound and can't leave but he's okay for now? At least if his brother is looking for him there's way less possibility that they'll miss each other by going through the same place at slightly different times but oops!! His brother is going to blame Tatsumi for everything that happened to Kaname (even if Kaname insists that's not the case and he would be so much worse off if Tatsumi hadn't taken him in.). The other Alkaloid members are also staying in the church and while Kaname is definitely a lot for any of them to deal with, Mayoi ends up spending the most time with him as protector when the others are out getting food/supplies/etc. I personally think Kaname would end up learning how to sew and cook and such, things he can do in the church that are still useful to everyone else but that's neither here nor there.

[carry-the-sky]

i want to pick all the questions but how about these to start: 1, 10, 14, 28, 34, 38 :D

1. What font do you write in? Do you actually care or is that just the default setting?

i definitely prefer times new roman, though i also really like the tumblr text font? in true chaotic evil fashion i actually used to write fics primarily in the new post text boxes 😈 idk if it was just aesthetically pleasing and that helped me write more fluidly or what, but after my internet died and i lost a draft i stopped doing that, lol.

10. Has a piece of writing ever “haunted” you? Has your own writing haunted you? What does that mean to you?

my own writing absolutely haunts me but not in a good way!! more in a 'i'm an unfinished wip withering away on ao3 and you're going to feel guilty about abandoning me FOREVER' type of way.

definitely haunted by other people's writing, whether it's a certain line of prose that's particularly *chef's kiss* or an overarching feeling the piece inspires.

14. Do you lend your books to people? Are people scared to borrow books from you? Do you know exactly where all your “lost” books are and which specific friend from school you haven’t seen in twelve years still possesses them? Will you ever get them back?

i actually haven't lent many books out, i think bc i feel unnecessary pressure for someone to like the thing i've recommended and the thought of them not liking it stresses me out! i'm a walking human disatster!!

28. Who is the most delightful character you’ve ever written? Why?

foggy nelson, no contest!! his voice is so fun and light and low-pressure compared to, say, frank's, lmao.

34. Thoughts on the Oxford comma, Go:

i will answer by way of this image which always makes me giggle:

38. What is something about your writing process YOU think is Really Weird? If you are comfortable, please share. If you’re not comfortable, what do you think cats say about us?

the aforementioned preference for writing drafts in tumblr is pretty weird BUT I DON'T DO IT ANYMORE DON'T COME FOR ME.

(99.999999% sure you sent this to me for the cats part tho lmaoooo. ella would probably tell you 'sorry not sorry for mauling your air plants, 10/10 would do it again')

[katierosefun]

7, 10 and 17 for the weird writers ask my beloved!

ann!!! :')) thank you!! // from these asks

7. What is your deepest joy about writing?

probably getting it all out? like, when i finally hit a point in the story where i realize that oh, this was what it was always about is perhaps one of the most satisfying feelings in the world. it's cathartic as hell, and it brings me a lot of joy--but i think also, a bonus to that joy is that every once in a while, i'll discover that one or two (or more) people will feel that same sort of catharsis reading my writing, and that honestly makes me even happier.

10. Has a piece of writing ever “haunted” you? Has your own writing haunted you? What does that mean to you?

mm . . . this is going to sound bizarre, but i think any piece of writing that somehow crawls into my dreams (whether before or after i've actually done the writing) is what i would classify as haunting material. some of my original stories actually came to me because a protagonist just kept sneaking into my dreams (and she hasn't left me alone for years now).

17. Talk to me about the minutiae of your current WIP. Tell me about the lore, the history, the detail, the things that won’t make it in the text.

mm . . . in the case of the latest original piece wip that i'm working on, a bit of history is that the protagonist actually did have feelings for her sole competitor at one point. (at one point. but things change. she decides to herself, very quietly, that her feelings may have had less to do with actual romantic attraction and more so a desire to Not Be Alone.)

as for a fic wip . . . i'm working on . . . a vampire au (a first for me, but 'tis the power of beyond evil and jwds and also amazing, inspiring fanart). the whole story's written in dong sik's perspective, so we won't really get a whole ton of joo won's actual thoughts, but i know that when he first turned into a vampire, joo won's first instinct was to call dong sik--and he almost did!--but he decided not to bc what if i kill him and so that's his reason for Suffering Alone for a Long Time until dong sik finally finds his stupid moron and etc.

[firebuug]

for the weird questions for writers thing: obligatory 6 9 4 and 20 bc funny. but for like actual questions 17 and 18

do not test me i will answer them all. my answers r below the cut LOL

6. What is your darkest fear about writing?

tbh? that people read it and go “oh. uh. this is uh. cringe” or that they totally read it thru the wrong lens. like if someone looked at a piece where i poured my inner anxieties and feelings into and they went “wow so they just wanted this character to be whiny for a sec huh.” bc tbh in the end ya thats what it is its a silly character saying funny thing but also like i never ever do that. if i do that and SHOW U that writing then i am trusting you with my life and my cringe and my life essence a—

also just being obviously inexperienced lol. i dont write professionally and dont intend to its just for funzies but am still self conscious anywayz

9. Do you believe in ghosts? This isn’t about writing I just wanna know

yes ever since i was little i tried to let any ghost who may live in my house know i am its friend by sticking my foot out before bed and promising i wouldnt tell anyone if they could read my mind. my aunts had a haunted house and they went full investigator mode and somehow came to the conclusion it was their relative who wanted a last birthday party, so they threw a party for the ghost and all poltergeist activity stopped in their house

also related to writing but my friend’s WIP rn is literally titled He Doesn’t Believe In Ghosts

4. What’s a word that makes you go absolutely feral?

ive been writing the word Prestidigitation a lot bcuz dnd and i fucking HATE THAT WORD i cant even pronounce it i hate it die die die. also medival or mideival or whateve rthe fuck its spelled i hate that word

20. If a witch offered you the choice between eternal happiness with your one true love and the ability to finally finish, perfect, and publish your dearest, darlingest, most precious WIP in exactly the way you've always imagined it — which would you choose? You can’t have both sorry, life’s a bitch

. ok so im not a big writer so the only wips ive got goin on are a self indulgent band au psychoanalysis piece, a hypothetical comic con murder mystery and the forever cancelled zombie apocalypse story i wrote from elementary to middle school w my ocs. and tbh i would kill to see the comic con murder mystery completed just to read it myself so i would take that offer. but also it isnt a WIP but if i could have that witch rewrite the juggernaut event for me as the epic cinematic arpg video and writing combination thing i pictured it as id give her my life

17. Talk to me about the minutiae of your current WIP. Tell me about the lore, the history, the detail, the things that won’t make it in the text.

UM um well. i dont have any plot for murder mystery and my band au is just. oc story that i can ramble about whenever but . my zombie apocalypse was the funniest shit. i played this for serious and i love how apeshit my imagination was back then. the lore was that a zombie virus happened bc the ceo of an evil company’s fail brother locked himself underground on accident and in the period which he was stuck in there tried to make himself a friend. but it corrupted and became a zombie and killed him and escaped. and the world got so bad that the scientists found a planet and named it Earth 2 and everyone got on there except for a bunch of everyday average people including our cast. and now. they r forced to survive. i published it frequently on deviantart journals and still have it on my google drive, sometimes i used to read it to get inspired to make apeshit stories for fun, but i havent in a while

8. Choose a passage from your writing. Tell me about the backstory of this moment. How you came up with it, how it changed from start to end.

does. does this mean like a snippet from my own writing? UHH a lot of my writing is oc stuff that i work into their stories but let me try and pull up something old that actually has a chance of having backstory to it HAHAJK

ok all i found was this from a Splatoon writing which i thot was funny because of the context of Buggy seeing a totally abandoned, empty subway station and still INSISTING on not hopping the ticket scanner or whatever. help. like i dont have any commentary i just wanted u to see this. :

“Just hop over it,” he remembered Skuggy telling him, “nobody cares.” Buggy felt too bad about it, though, and got him to lend him his old card anyways. He reached into his pockets for the said card and stuck it into the slot. The little dusty screen on top of the gate showed a little spinny loading circle before a light shone green and he was let in.

whatever. anyways instead ill spit fun fax about the juggernaut story writing event arpg thing bc i um. i um. i . i. i . @im-hiding22 its bad compared to my writing now but it was sillyfun

- i did not actually intend for buggy to kill farrow i intended for it to be a fake-out and for farrow to scramble to life right when the juggernaut approached or whatevs. but when all my friends went insane like he did die i thought “wouldnt it be funny if he died fr”

- i was intending on mendel to be the first death under the jugg’s hands because itd be cool for the creation to get revenge in its creator and for the story to be everyone trying to fix mendel’s mistakes themselves and possibly bring him back. but i could not imagine anything thatd reverse his mistakes in a satisfying way so i scrapped and rewrote it

- literally only wrote the stupid loredump radio broadcast cuz i had finished reading the nightvale novel

- 80% of the most fun i had from that and the most story-impacting decisions came from my friends sending asks, and seeing my friends actively wanting to participate and speculate on something i was writing was literally the most touching thing i have ever felt in my life. im reliving that high by running a dnd campaign in which now i can focus on telling my friends’ stories and intertwining them with my own

ok bye. this was 3 years long, im giving you a brownie if you read this far because youre incredible! all of the old writing i posted here can be found under the ;writing hashtag which will be tagged here :D if u. ever wanna see cringe splatoon or town of salem oc fanfic LOLL

[jcfoxington]

@sambambucky​ : “pls... Pastels, Peaches and Pain??? among us first draft??? marvel meets warframe meets a bunch of tumblr posts (it’s not an au!?!??!)

hi jo !!! Pastels, Peaches, and Pain is one of those sambucky wips i have mostly fully fleshed out in my head because of one (1) extreme moment of clarity after a rogue ‘what if’ tangent thought but havent written anything of yet out of restraint / knowing i need to finish at least one of my current sambucky wips before i start it or none of them will get done

this was the rogue tangent thought: “what if Sam is haunted by Figaro’s ghost and has been since he was a kid?”. i’ve changed the ghost cat to not be Figaro but that’s the premise !

i refer to the fic as the cat fic ‘cause the whole plot is based around sam’s ghost cat companion insisting he adopts nat’s cat Liho after endgame and then Figaro later and then [insert redacted because plot spoilers but just know it relates to Alpine]. no im not projecting my feelings about cats idk what youre talking about 

here’s some note snippets just for you:

the cat, inexplicably, takes a liking to bucky, which is really annoying bc sam doesnt know how to explain to him that all the oddly soft gusts of wind are actually sam's dead cat insisting on getting pats

bucky getting shade thrown at him by said ghost cat during all of tfatws + them making up (and not out. yet)

starts when sam's a kid & follows him as he grows up w/ a ghost kitty as a companion only he can see & interact with + angst with an undertone of comedy + getting together

he whispers to ghost kitty, who simply mmrrs happily

for the among us first draft thing, what basically happened is i saw this tweet and this video and my brain latched onto these dynamics so hard i had to write about them. 

here’s a sketch of my two main imposters, Black (left) and Cyan (right):

and here’s a snippet:

The thing having Cyan pause and stare out at the asteroid field is how the colors stretch to family. When they and Black came aboard, they had thought every crewmember was an adult working on the planet-change project. That the patch of off-white with a black something-pattern-or-shape signified status. In a way, Cyan supposes it does, but just not the way they expected. They had expected it to show what rank an individual held within the hierarchy of the crew, from deckhand to division leader to captain, not to show that you're family of the crew and not actually part of the crew itself. 

There are innocents on this ship. Children. It was not something any of them had anticipated, and not something Cyan had been prepared to deal with. They and Black boarded this horrible place to eradicate a threat, believing each and single one of the humans were accomplishes and dedicated to the goal of destroying Cyan and Black's species, and their planet. But, now?

marvel meets warframe meets a bunch of tumblr posts... doesn’t have a wip title or seperate document for itself yet cause it’s been stuck in my ‘story ideas’ document since its creation. so ‘marvel meets warframe meets a bunch of tumblr posts’ is literally just me describing the vibe of an original world gjkerfkds

the world came to be for two reasons. firstly, i want to do make take on a superhero universe because the plot and complete lack of communication in both the dcu and mcu piss me the fuck off. secondly, needed a place to dump ocs with elaborate backstories or fantasy / sci-fi abilities that dont fit into any of my existing worlds

which sounds super competent but trust me, it isn’t. it didn’t gain any solidity at all until i decided to do a personal ‘how different can i make spn castiel look & still retain the same vibe?’ challenge. i have my own cas now

however, the reason i said ‘marvel meets...’ is because i’ve snagged a couple of different things from the mcu, most notably: enemies to reluctant coworkers to lovers, yes our best friend have the same name. no they’re not the same person, secret evil org is controlling the government, and the assassin that tried to kill you several times is now your best friend

warframe was added to the world because i got attached to my Volt build, gave them a name, and have some headcanons idk what to do with because i refuse to interact with that fandom. also because the friend i made through discussing warframe lore + plot dicked me over so it feels Bad to create for

the glue to this whole mess is that one “in every friend group there’s a mean bisexual, an even meaner lesbian, a she/they, a he/they, a himbo, an astrology bitch, a short king, and a token straight” tumblr post. my main group of superheroes ala the avengers consist of these people. the token straight is the only one i havent figured out who is yet

ever since i figured that out ive been throwing story / character ideas and weirdly specific aesthetics from popular tumblr posts into this world’s notes. here’s some examples:

sword grandmas

that trope where someone’s really nice and acts super well-adjusted to society but then they do something super whack and dangerous and you realize ‘oh they’re secretly a little bit insane, actually’

anti-gay group’s leader’s wife leaves him for another woman

superhero who swore to be the best hero [city / planet / solar system / continent / ????] has ever seen ever since he lost his wife. not because she’s dead but divorce just sucks & the hero-to-be is terrible at coping

dishevelled swamp witch

that one person who runs around with an amulet all the time & isn’t aware it’s cursed

an exasperated, tired superhuman assassin running after their husband and their husband's best friend. their husband and said husband's best friend both have wings. chaos ensues (yes, this one is a sambucky post)

ask me about my WIPs!

BONUS:

@sambambucky​​ : #i want to have a coffee and listen to synopses of all of these.... #i miss the discord wow #WRITING TAG #waitttt time jumping dream movie? lmao I'VE READ THIS LIST FORTY TIMES and every time i rediscover something i wanna know about #outfit doodlesss ugh i need to go

the time jumping dream movie was one of the first vivid dreams i had and the whole thing was so stupidly coherent and whacky i had to write it down. it grew plot, a queer love dynamic, weird sci-fi apocalypse elements, anti-military propaganda, questionable science, and a sequel while i wasnt looking and now i just. have to make it a real movie or i’ll combust

outfit djoodlles.png is only on there because my best friend sent me a ‘draw this outfit’ meme and space kitty, my current character brainrot, stole all the outfits for himself. otherwise, that file just sits there until im feeling like designing an outfit or wanna see how a stupid thing looks on my oc patrick

here’s one of the two poses-to-doodle-outfits-on of space kitty ive made so far:

and here’s one of those stupid things on patrick (that then turned into an actual outfit of his because i have no self control):

Wow. That was a lot longer than I planned. Do we even do comic sans wip posts anymore? It it cool? Am I cool? 

Photo ID below the cut because this is already way too fucking long of a post. And this ID, bc of it, is so so long.

Photo ID: a 13 slide Comic Sans font powerpoint about an original WIP. All slides but the first are white, black text, all font being Comic Sans to follow the meme.

Slide 1: black background, white text. Titled with red shadow: The City of Fallen Angels: (2) Hitaeth. Definition below: hiraeth: homesickness or nostalgia, an earnest longing for an idealised past, or a sense of regret. Around this title are a bunch of floating descriptors about the WIP: vampires, gothic-punk, regrets vs forgiveness, dark urban fantasy, historical 2003, 4 POVs, secrets, political intrigue, slice of life, compassion vs selfishness, vampires playing Game of Thrones, grimdark and also hopepunk. A Vampire the Masquerade canon divergent original novel.

Slide 2: Worldbuilding, about the Vampire the Masquerade world. Titled: The canon sects but like a little more nuanced. Three columns of bullet points follow. 

The first is the Camarilla. 

neo-feudal lords and princes

rule most of the world

want to rule the rest of it

scheming, old elders who don’t give a shit about anyone else

will kill your family to make a point

BUT ALSO.

stable domains; due process

clan culture, history, tradition

connected to wider vampire society

play their game and you can live as a peaceful peasant (mostly)

The second column is the Anarchs.

rebellious neonates/ancillae

in their Free States, there’s opportunity for power and to live your own life

neonates can actually own land??

ALSO

literal anarchy

no real oversight or leadership

can and will be killed by another gang

“if you can hold it, you can have it”

Third column is the Sabbat

worship Caine as the First Murderer (first vampire)

take “vampire” too literally

inhuman monsters

war cult readying for Armageddon

ALSO

profoundly religious

strict code of honour

accept their inhumanity (no angst)

tight-knit family-like packs

heroes/crusaders for their ppl

Slide 3: Titled: Have a shitty map. A Google map screenshot of Central Los Angeles, with highlighted sections in different colours, clearly done in Paint by a child. Seven sections are highlighted, explained on the next slide.

Slide 4: The lands are divided by the sect who control it.

Anarchs:

Angels Wasteland: remains of the #peaceful Barony of Angels. With Salvador Garcia’s death, it’s a shitshow chaotic warzone. 

Tinseltown: Isaac Abrams, movie baron, just wants to be left alone.

East LA: ruled by loyalists of the Old Guard Anarchs, who are all dead/gone. Sabbat from further east are smelling weakness.

Downtown: technically “no baron” but also nines is baron. Typical Anarchs, shooting each other, living rough, living free. OR ARE THEY???

Camarilla:

The Valley: a praxis backed by legendary elders, who are propelled by faceless masters, using unwilling Prince Barty Vaughn as a pawn

Westside: greedy and ambitious LaCroix goes “hmm. la looks like shit. probably wanna get in on that” and calls up his contact, Therese Voerman and says “yo. u got a barony, huh? wanna be my seneschal?”

“Independent”

Silver Lake: a desperate grab by Monroe and co to build their own “utopia” … sorta like the Anarchs 60yrs ago… and look how THAT went. Monroe ate the last Old Guard Anarch.

Slide 5: Titled: Monroe’s POV, with a subtitle of The Captain. On the left, a photo of half of a man’s face in shadow. He has dark hair, pale skin, blue eyes, and a hard expression. Bullet points describe him as Matthew Monroe, Clan Ventrue, Embraced 1873, Humanity 5, age 28. On the right, a series of bullets describe his POV’s story.

this is a dude drowning in an ocean of Problems and his catchphrase is “I’ll figure it out”

he owes a life debt to the enigmatic powerful archon in the Valley (Jan Pieterzoon), who seems to respect/honour him more than most of LA.

he used to be besties with the Valley Prince (Barty Vaughn), who he can’t trust but seems? the same?

he turned his ghoul and secret love into a vampire (Hawthorne), against her wishes, and now she hates him. monroe: u kno what? that’s fair.

Silver Lake is held together with duct tape. monroe’s right hand (Ashley Swan) is a nightmare and untrustworthy. his people try to kill each other.

he’s got a lot of unresolved trauma/grief/abuse/anger and vampires sort of have “The Beast”, a spirit that haunts them with evil

and oh yeah, LA is about to explode

Slide 6: Titled: Monroe’s supporting characters. Four characters, each of them have a photo, a title, and brief run-on description.

First, a photo of a very pale man with purple eyes and a lock of ice blonde hair. Ashley Swan, the Thorn, Clan Toreador. Monstrously cruel, sarcastic, hedonistic, aggressive, sadistic, can’t be trusted, doesn’t wear shirts. Bisexual transman.

Second, a photo of a dour woman with dark hair. Audrey Hawthorne, the Lovechilde, Clan Ventrue. Blinded by the Embrace, furious, frustrated, grieving, snarky, over accomplished, creative, passionate.

Third, a man in a black suit looking over a ballroom with a crystal chandelier. Jan Pieterzoon, the Kingmaker, Clan Ventrue. 300 year old, archon, elder, sire is Camarilla big-shot, dignified, mysterious, chessmaster, honourable, elite.

Fourth, a man in a dress shirt, sleeve rolled up, hand extended with a cigarette and bloody palm. Barty Vaughn, the Valley Prince, Clan Ventrue. Former Anarch, Prince of San Francisco, now reluctant Prince of LA. Smokes like a chimney, lives to fuck Tremere and have fun.

Slide 7: Titled: Zari’s POV, with a subtitle of The Black Rose. On the left, a photo of a beaming dark-skinned Black woman with bouncy coily black hair. Bullet points describe her as Zari Adeyemi-Swan, Clan Toreador, Embraced 1973, Humanity 6, age 27. On the right, a series of bullets describe her POV’s story.

life sucks, it’s cruel, and there’s no point thinking on the past, even when the past comes to haunt you

she fled her foster sire and once-lover (Ashley Swan) for his cruelty to others, but now he offers maybe?genuine? amends.

thirty years ago, she left her human children. her daughter (Aisha Adeyemi) has been Embraced and brings bad news

her main way of #coping is working and distracting herself. she throws herself to infiltrate the Westside Camarilla court (Sebastian LaCroix), against all good advice.

soon after she arrives, she finds herself having a secret admirer (Mercurio), who reminds her how precious it is to be loved, held, and cared for — but they need to overcome their own instincts to accept what they could have

The Voerman sisters are in the thick of it all, making perfect cautionary allies and, if she can overcome her preconceptions, friends.

and oh yeah, LA is about to explode

Slide 8: Titled: Zari’s supporting characters. Four characters, each of them have a photo, a title, and brief run-on description.

First, a photo of a white man wearing mirrored sunglasses in front of orange-pink neon. It casts his face and smile eerily. Ashley Swan, the Foster Sire, Clan Toreador, monstrously cruel, charismatic, loyal, thorough, too clever, pleasurable. Bi transman.

Second, a photo of a white man in a suit, adjusting his cuffs. Sebastian LaCroix, the Westside Prince, Clan Ventrue, opportunistic benefactor, greedy, ambitious, petulant, ruthless, degrading.

Third, a white man in a paisley shirt, gold necklaces, putting a hand to a tattooed and exposed chest. Mercurio, the Admirer, LaCroix’s Ghoul, resourceful, sweet, empathetic, capable, romantic, salt of the earth, former Mafia hitman.

Fourth, a white woman in a black suit with delicate gold jewelry. The Voermans, the Mirrored Sisters, Clan Malkavian; one is brutal, calculating, patient, reckless, the other is seductive, fun-loving, innovative, insightful.

Slide 9: Titled: Charlie’s POV, with a subtitle of The Moonchilde. In small text, a line says “a.k.a. Me processing grief over my mother #coping. On the left, a photo of a sad-faced white woman with freckles, black eyeliner, and frizzy brown curls. Bullet points describe her as Charlie Bradley, Clan Malkavian, Embraced 2003, Humanity 8, age 20, lesbian. On the right, a series of bullets describe her POV’s story.

life is getting back to normal? well, “new normal”

as a new adult, she has a good ol’ fashioned “start of life” crisis: who am I? where do I fit in? complicated by her mother’s death a year ago. what sort of woman am I? how does this figure into my attraction to women?

maybe. maybe. maybe monroe is cold and distant and ruling a vampire kingdom, but he wants to look after me. maybe i should let him.

also, hey, you (Jesse Harper) get it. and you’re hurting. let me help, let me be your soft place to land. wow, okay, this is kissing.

she didn’t mean to ruin her sire’s (Rhys Wilson) life. but, she did. she killed his mentor. SHHH! secret! she feel bad. maybe friends? uh, okay, weirdo. maybe D&D.

she’s learning to deal with feeding on scumbags and giving what people got coming to them. and the Cobweb, supernatural psychosis

WHY ARE VAMPIRES LIKE THIS? WHY CAN’T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG? FFS

and oh yeah, LA is about to explode

Slide 10: Titled: Charlie’s supporting characters. Three characters, each of them have a photo, a title, and brief run-on description.

First, a white man in the middle of screaming, his head swaying back and forth so it looks like he has three heads. Rhys Wilson, the Sire, Clan Malkavian, weirdo, prime D&D fanatic and DM, just wants friends, and vengeance, pulls pranks to teach lessons. Gay.

Second, a very strong white woman with her arms crossed, a tattoo on one, and a t-shirt that is obscured but clearly says “The future is female”. Jesse Harper, the Darkness, Clan Lasombra, former vampire hunter, reluctant vampire, brooding, mysterious, sullen, black trench coat, buff as fuck, brave. Lesbian.

Third, a pair of clasped hands, male over female. Monroe, the Stepsire, Clan Ventrue, fucking old, inhuman, kills too easily, sincere, honourable, intense, gives good advice but really should shut his mouth hole.

Slide 11: Titled: Jack’s POV, with a subtitle of The Lone Wolf. On the left, a photo of a sad-faced strong Chinese man with a shaggy and tufted mullet. Bullet points describe him as Jack Shen, Clan Gangrel, Embraced 1955, Humanity 7, age 25, gay. On the right, a series of bullets describe his POV’s story.

why does he always end up alone? people leave, people die, people drift and change, but the good times were worth it

he’s always had a rocky relationship with his lover (Ryuko Saito), but now the dumbass has found a cult promising power.

he hasn’t lost him. he hasn’t. him and ryu just take time apart sometimes. but it’s been a long fucking while. and jack isn’t sure who he is alone anymore. a new human friend (Dustin Cohen), working at his animal hospital gives new life.

his former best friend (Damsel) has dove deep into Downtown and managing as Nines’ lieutenant, bringing him more and more dirty work to clean up

monroe relies on him to reign in the chaos of vampires trying to live without killing each other.

and oh yeah, LA is about to explode

Slide 12: Titled: Jack’s supporting characters. Three characters, each of them have a photo, a title, and brief run-on description.

First, a young white woman with dyed fire-engine red hair and an Iron Maiden t-shirt. Damsel, the Lieutenant, Clan Brujah, naive, brash, physical, loyal, loud-mouthed, smart.

Second, a skinny man in an ill-fitting Hawaiian shirt and jeans. Ryuko Saito, the Orphan, Mage, power-hungry, desperate, proud, ruthless, loving, isolated, crushingly lonely, gremlin, old and chronic pain, hides and “treats” it with magic.

Third, a white hand extending a hummingbird to fly free. Dustin Cohen, the Receptionist, Human, understanding, the best of Good Dudes, empathetic, kinda lame outsider

Slide 13: Titled: also. A moodboard on the right side includes two weeping stone angels, one at sunset, one in darkness between a tarnished and broken silver crown; a gas station in LA as seen through a rainy car window; grim-looking downtown city buildings; and a sidewalk curb with neon lights reflecting off a puddle and a plastic bag of takeout garbage strewn across.

On the left, bullet points follow.

25-30 for the Author Asks 💕

*** Pls don’t reblog! 

25. How do you create an original character?

Sometimes I’ll start with a character I like and try to create something new out of the elements that resonated with me so much. Other times I’ll need a character to fill a role and ask myself what kind of person might be in that role. But all I really need is to assemble some traits, decide that this is a valid and meaningful character because I said so, and refine from there as I learn more about what the story needs to be and what the story needs from that character. 

26. How do you go about world building?

Questions like:

What would be really cool, fun, or interesting? (There’s a plant in the Painting World that makes cricket sounds at night, & there are no actual crickets) 

What logically follows from what I already have? (People would collect these things as houseplants for ASMR purposes) 

What supports the story I want to tell? (It isn’t very easy to leave the Painting World and escape to reality, otherwise an apocalypse wouldn’t have high stakes & it would be much easier for Sparrow to escape)

What would be scary or horrible because I’m evil? (A sleepwalking god can be seen haunting the land any time the world starts to fall into decay. The Painter never painted them)

What would be really cool, fun, or interesting FOR ME? (Morgan has a human form, but they can also be a wolf-centaur or just a wolf, bc I like wolves)

Can I come up with a detailed explanation for why something works just so and how things fit together, for no particular reason other than the joy of creating little working systems? (There’s wet water and dry water in the Painting World. Wet water is real water and feels wet. Dry water is painted water and is experienced as water but doesn’t feel wet. If you create real fire with magic, congratulations, you’re a paper doll who lives in a coloring book and you’ve made something that destroys the fabric of reality)

27. Do you try to do most of your research ahead of writing (when research is necessary) or do you do it as things come up?

Both, definitely. I really enjoyed listening to an audiobook about the Middle Ages, & that’s informed a lot about how I think about the story with the Painting World. When I need to research something that comes up, already having at least a vague idea about the subject makes it a lot easier to interpret and understand the context of the new info I learn.

28. How do you make sure your plot points are there while also making them blend in with the story?

I really thought carefully about plot points and structure for my Painting World WIP, but for Black Hole Holiday & the fanfic I’m working on, I’m doing a more low key pantsing thing. Pantsing can have this really beautiful process where you start writing the first half of the story, and then the second half of the story shakes out of the first half like oh god, yeah, of *course* that happened next, of *course* this is what it all means. With the more structured approach, I really like that guarantee like. “Follow this template and you WILL have a story that flows well and makes sense.” 

If a plot point doesn’t flow naturally, I’d consider either manipulating some characters & finding the right motive to make them do what I want, or changing the story so letting the characters have their way doesn’t bring down the whole Jenga tower. This is actually a big thing in rp writing because above all else, you have to write a story about characters who are motivated to interact with each other and participate in the plot. On my end, I can actively work to come up with reasons for why my character is going to find this other person’s character more interesting to talk to than all of the random strangers they might have passed that day. But not every pair of characters (or writers for that matter lol) will be compatible.

29. How do you plot your stories?

Daydream while doing something else! 

30. How do you edit your stories?

Go over it until I can’t find anything I want to change. Spend some time away to clear my thoughts. I need more practice with editing tbh.

Writing Process tag game

Tagged by @gold-from-straw ! Thank you ^_^

1. What are your favourite genres and/or styles to write in?

when i was a little kid i’ve always loved sci-fi/fantasy most. but seeing that i am currently exclusively writing in the wizarding world universe i cannot really say which genre i like best (let’s forget all the RPF i did in the past that was horrible i hate myself for writing in that)

my favourite genre to write in has to be gothic literature

but let’s talk about tropes !! my favourite is slow burn and hurt/comfort (yeah ik i like to torture my readers (jkjk) ). i suppose i also write decently in fluff but surprisingly, i don’t particularly like writing fluff

still developing my style ><

2. What was the last writing project you finished and felt successful with?

the last piece of writing i did which i felt successful with can hardly be called a “project”...? but almost every drabble i posted on this acc i feel satisfied with (#SlytherinValuesWrites)

the last writing project i finished should be quite successful (at least judging from the amount of kudos on AO3) but i hated it. it was the RPF i mentioned and i hated myself for writing it. i only finished it because i am not one to abandon a fic

3. If you have a WiP how do you feel it’s going? What stage are you in?

ummm the status/content of my WIPs are my biggest secret >< sorry no telling

(it is a kind of weird jinx thing for me. i’ve not shared what i am currently working on for maybe 10 years. you’ll know it when i publish it)

4. What are your favourite places to write?

it’s not really about the place for me. it’s more of the moment. if in that moment i feel like writing i’d write, but if i don’t feel like it, no matter what place i’m in i cannot write, so it’s really not about the place

5. Do you prefer to write with long hand or type? Or some other method?

type all the way !!

when i was 12 and did not have access to a computer or smartphone, i used to write in a notebook. but typing is much, much better for me. it feels right. 

i also like typing everything up into a computer because it allows me to view the whole piece of writing as a big picture and i rely a lot on the vibe of the piece to decide on how to continue writing

6. Do you remember your first character? If so can we meet them?

ok so my first original novel idea was from when i was 12 or 13. i got inspired by a trip to disneyland on halloween. i think the main character is called Thalia or something...? anyways so thalia is a witch but all throughout childhood she is told to keep this secret hush hush so as to keep herself safe because everyone else is afraid of magic (because they think it’s satanic). but thalia is not attending a magic school so she doesn’t have to hide it anymore. one prominent thing i remember about the school is that the room numbers are always changing inconsistently so the students are always late to class because they can’t find the goddamn classroom. the form is magic is that they have to perform a sort of ritual (kinda like contacting the “spirits/gods” but not really)

so thalia is kind of like a sidekick but at the end she accidentally save everyone’s arses. but she’s NOT the “chosen one” bc i hate this shit. but the story is not about her being a sidekick, it actually revolves around thalia and her childhood friend (who is not magical)

so thalia and her friend ( i forgot her name) knew each other when they were kids and they are ~really~ good friends. for some reason i do not remember they have not seen each other for years, until now. i don’t remember if her friend knew of thalia’s magical ancestry or not. but then of course shit happens and someone evil is stirring up trouble. so thalia helps fight on the SIDELINE because she got dragged into the battlefield while all she wanna do is chill and be with her friend (whom she is in love with btw)

but then of course, her friend got dragged into shit too, because of thalia may i add. so thalia has to protect her friend, because she’s in love with her, and sort of because of this, they become girlfriends

at the end thalia accidentally became an important factor in defeating the ~evil~ and afterwards, of course the whole point of this story is SLOWBURN HURT/COMFORT GAAAAAY WITCHES

(disclaimer : i plotted all these way before i even read/watched jk rowls’ hp series. all these just because of a haunted house in disneyland on halloween )

7. Where do you get your inspiration?

literally everywhere. my brain is in a constant 24/7 chatter. i cannot get it to shut up.

8. Do you outline a story before writing it, or does it all live in your head until the first draft gets put down?

hmm depends. 

as i’ve said above i rely a lot on gut feelings. if i feel like writing down the outline is a good thing to do (in a specific way that is too vague to explain) that will result in a good outcome of the fic, i’d do the outline. if i feel like it’s not the thing to do, i’d never do it because outlining would sometimes jinx everything

9. Where do you go/ What do you do when you’re feeling stuck?

i rarely get stuck but if i do, i’d do nothing about it. i’d just wait until the right feelings hits again so that i’d continue writing, or else i don’t think my writing would be successful

10. What got you started writing/doing Art? (Because I always love origin stories)

i’ve always known that i’d be some sort of artist, growing up. whether it is writing, illustration, graphic design i know that i’d be doing something creative. so i’ve always been into writing

despite being a writer being my dream for as long as i can remember, i only started writing and creating fiction when i was 13 (the thalia one). afterwards i (very unfortunately) got into RPF fanfiction. although that was a horrible mistake i’ve never stopped writing ever since !! i’m always regularly writing now :)

this tag is most enjoyable to answer !! my favourite one yet ^^

let’s see if i have any writer friends : @asafeplanet @the-cellar-spiral @restlessandordinary @rose-grangerweasleyisbae @aibidil @decanthrope

[thelucyverse]

WIP! First meeting T.G. & Irene

Featuring: immortality!, disturbed!Assistant(Kate), background Johnlock, ace!Sherlock, bi!Watson, bi!Irene and a-little-terror!theGirl

Part 1

"I'm interested in what you are doing here!" the girl said. She couldn't have been older than twelve.

Irene raised an eyebrow.

"Well, not the sex stuff necessarily- more the blackmail! That sounds like a fun game!"

A game? "So Holmes did send you, then" Irene said, annoyed. "Get out, this isn't a place for a kid. If he wants to talk to me, he can do it himself."

"Holmes? Which Holmes do you mean?" the girl said with a cheeky grin. "And I'm not a normal kid, don't worry."

Hear sherlock in front of door- I nods for A to open- sherlock confused stands up straight from where he was looking at the ??peephole, pastor uniform in place, black eye... - Now, there you are - sherlock confused by chaos in front of him--- John muss auch iwann auftauchen - what's the kid doing here? - talk about not a normal kid, should let me join the operation... What would you say if I told you I've already seen it all? Just that you've shite parents. - Ugh, well, looks like I've got to tell you my real age after all. Real age? What, are you secretly twenty? Naw actually immortals and millenia old. Ok, kid... --Wann?? @ sherlock work with Q sometimes - what? So could ask him to confirm your story? - Uh, not sure exactly who knows the real story and who just thinks I'm a random kid running around mi6... Then again, what must they be thinking at a random kid running around mi6? -... Sherlock: Ok I'm ready to believe you (John looks like he's gone nuts, irene like she doesn't believe that he believes It), yes that's the reaction I like! And can prove it- don't want to do this when Noone believes me at all because they tend to call the cops or something... Irene: What are you going to do? Thought you just (xy, not able to committ suicide, Girl must have explained immortality properly before)? - Well, yes, not able to want to committ suicide and so won't disable the stuff that makes me unable to die, (bc that's how most 'immortals' die in the end), but still have safety mechanisms that make me immortal in the first place! Look- A: she's gonna do something to herself! Girl: oh for godssake-makw sure she doesn't call the cops, yeah?- slits her throat, slowly disappears, five year old girl popsup again, looks at them confused, shakes herself and grows a little, shakes herself again until age she wad before, grinns. Hi! That did happen just now, did it? Assistant faints. Irene groans. You owe me an assistant! She growls, not ready to as much as think about what just happened.

John: did you- did you see that?! Tg: yes do you believe me now- John, ignoring her, accusingly pointing at Irene: is this some kind of haunted house, is this supposed to be a joke?? The girl groans: ugh, the failings of the 21st century! Really! The middle ages are annoying, too, where everyone just shouts with and puts me at the stake to see if I'm gonna burn and of course I do burn, I just pop up again, if I'm lucky a few metres to the left... But now it's all It's not real! I'm on drugs! It's photoshopped! Sherlock: I believe you. John: why are you not freaked out?? Sherlock: I'm just adding it to my [weltbild] as we speak. Irene pinches her nose and toes at her assistant, who groans and sits up, sees the girl and squeaks. Irene gives the girl a Look. You really do owe me a functioning assistant. The girl laughs. Oh, she'll get used to it and be OK again. That is if she wants to get used to it, I'm not going to /force/ anyone to remember what they don't want to remember... Bends down. Do you want to just forget what happened here? Forceful nodding. Oh well... Holds hand up in front of her, pointer, middle and ring finger stretched out, and A gets a blank look and stands up. Irene: fucking hell, what did you do now? John: language! Irene snorts. Girl: just made her forget... Maybe best if she went home for today before I have to do it again. Irene nods. You can go home. Then stares at the girl: not what I meant when I said to give me a functioning assistant! Now I can't even talk about this shitshow with her? Girl shrugs. She didn't want to remember... And hey! If you want a new assistant- my offer still stands!

Irene groans. John: you- you won't let the /kid/ work- /here/? Irene: that's what I said earlier. But she's not a real kid, is she. Gives her a calculating look. John: kid, why do you even want to... Girl: she's great at blackmail, and that sounds like great fun! J: Oh, so you're like, an /evil/ immortal child? G: Evil?? Never! Booores and without an all that fixed moral compass, though...

Irene looks at the scene in front of her. Today had been supposed to go very differently. She had expected chaos, sure, but /definitely/ not that kind.

"I need a fuck".

She surprises herself by saying it out loud, but it's true, and now that she said it, she's looking at the two men in front of her appraisingly.

"I am not interested in that." Sherlock Holmes says coldly, still with that far away look on his face that indicates he's trying to fit the possibility of immortals and magic in with all his other memories in his mind palace.

"No? Not at all? And here I thought you and your pet doctor..." she looks over at John Watson, who huffs.

"Sherlock just isn't interested in sex, that doesn't mean..."

"But you are." she leers at him. She does not often have sex, her job showing her all the things she doesn't like about people in the first place, but sometimes she does grave it, and now that this little terror got rid of Kate for her, she needs someone new.

Meanwhile, the girl has wandered over to her office, uninterested by their discussion. Irene tries not to think about all the things she could do in there. It's not like she has the power to stop her.

John: "I- no! I mean, yes, but I'm with Sherlock, and I don't need- I'm perfectly fine on my own-"

"Oh, I'm sure you /could/ go your entire life without sex if Sherlock didn't like the idea of it... Honestly, though, I don't think he would care." she tilts her head at the detective, and he snaps out of his mind palace.

"If I get to be there, I don't care." he agrees.

She lifts an eyebrow. "I thought you weren't interested?"

"I thought you were a lesbian" he counters.

"bisexual" she corrects him.

John groans. "He'll just try to see it as an- experiment, or something, I promise you that won't be a very nice experience-"

"Oh, I bet I can make you come despite it." she grins, shark-like.

The girl wanders back into the hallway, a list of Irene's clients in her hands. "If I find you two more people you can blackmail, are you going to let me work with you?"

Irene sighs. "Sure, why the fuck not."

"Oh and by the way, the CIA is going to be here in a bit" the girl says. "But I called one of my MI6 friends to help get rid of them, I just need to look a bit different then, she doesn't know that I'm not just an uber-intelligent little girl...

Irene nods. She hasn't felt this exhausted in, ever, really. "If you can make sure we won't be disturbed for the next two hours, you're hired" she says over her shoulder, dragging John upstairs, Sherlock following behind.

The little girl whoops. Irene suddenly realises something and turns back around.

"What's your name, anyway?"

"Oh, I have many" she grins a shit-eating grin. "You can call me The Girl."

"..."

"I'm not calling you that. /I'm/ 'The Woman', and you can still call me Irene, or Miss Adler. I'm not calling you the girl. We'll have to think of something better than that."

The Girl shrugs. "Fine by me" she tilts her head, listening to something outside. "You might wanna disappear now..."

Irene drags the men into one of the bedroom and closes the door, trying not to think about the fact that she is trusting what now looks like a ten-year-old kid to take care of the CIA Agents bursting through the front door.

+Where do you publish your work? ao3! 

+What medium/application/etc. you use? google docs! which is ok for fanfic writing, bc copyright is already owned by somebody else. (google technically owns everything u upload to their cloud/drive... which is only a problem for u if u start making money off ur original content, bc nobody steals worthless shit. if u expect to make money off ur intellectual property, i’d keep it off google jic.) 

+Do you collaborate with others? a lot of my jokes + characterizations come out of chats with my beta, but as for writing - my beta is my beta bc i trust her quality of work, and she has free rein over my crap to insert/delete at will bc i know whatever she does will be good. i don’t know any other writers that well, let alone any writers who have a similar enough style/sense of humor for us to produce a cohesive piece without both of us wanting to strangle each other.  

+How much editing do you do before you publish? i edit in real time, while writing, then do a last pass, then my beta does a last pass and then we fire that fucker out into the world

+Do you listen to music while you write? can’t. i once turned in an essay freshman year of hs with lady gaga lyrics typed halfway through a sentence bc i literally start typing what i hear

+How do you decide what to write about? my brain independently generates plots, scenarios, characters, jokes and god knows whatever else literally 100% of the time. when it starts showing me actual pre-formed sentences i start writing them down. 

+When do you write? on the train, on the toilet, at my desk, in bed, literally whenever the sentences start coming (and a lot when the sentences have to be pried out like motherfucking teeth). i write primarily using google docs on my phone, then do last passes + final stretch crapouts on the laptop

+How often do you write? Every day, but a lot of it is scrap. sometimes the sentences i produce have NOTHING to do with the projects i’m trying to finish and are from a completely random irrelevant different story that dies immediately after i exorcise the damn things. anything that makes it past 5k generally gets consideration for actual published fic. most do not make it that far, or die after due to lack of plot. my morgue files are insane. 

+Do you take requests? NOT ON YOUR LIFE LMAOOOOOOOOOO

+Is there a genre or type of story you want to write but are hesitant to? i’m not really hesitant to write anything - there’s things i don’t particularly enjoy writing or that don’t come naturally (porn) and things i don’t give a damn about, but my approach to “i am bad at thing” is to get better at the thing. this is my hobby - if i wanna write something, i do :) 

+Any inspirational quotes, videos, tricks, articles, etc that help you stay motivated? SOMETIMES WRITING IS BORING. COMMITMENT IS WHAT GETS SHIT DONE. sometimes you have to haul your ass through a bunch of scenes that need to happen and it feels like hauling cement!! that’s fine!! it’s work!! yell about it!! but if you’ve committed to finishing the story, and the story requires cement, SOMETIMES YOUR ASS IS GONNA BE BORED. find a way to kick through. 

+Go to page 7 of your WIP, skip to the 7th line, and share 7 sentences:

From the way Steve talks and the stories he’s told him, Sam gets the impression that Steve’s integration into this century has been going with all the speed and exuberance of a crippled sloth. Whatever progress he may have made is irreversibly related to covert warfare (the job he clearly wanted to quit) or Nazi hunting (the job he would, all told, rather not be doing), and if there’s any bigger representative of “the past coming back to haunt you” than Bucky Barnes turning up in evil bondage gear, Sam doesn’t want to find it.
