[queenhawke]

20 questions for fic writers

Thank you for the tag, @mulderscully 🩷🩷

How many works do you have on ao3?

32 (ayyy Veronika, we match)

What's your total ao3 word count?

965,446

What fandoms do you write for?

Doctor Who!

Top five fics by kudos:

Bloodstream

For All We're Worth

Mending

Tiny Lights Below

The Doctor's Brilliant Idea

Do you respond to comments?

For the most part, yes - but sometimes, it might take a tremendous length of time (provided my mental health is crushing me and I feel unworthy of love 😅)

What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

It will easily be Can't Shift the Tide when the time comes (and all five people who read it will suffer)

What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Pretty much everything! I can't even READ fics with sad/angsty endings, let alone write them (with a small crackship caveat)

Do you get hate on fics?

Only from a small sect of presumed tweens enmeshed in said crackship

(Oh, and Mickey Smith's burner account getting a little bummed with me one of the many times I've implied Mickey was a terrible shag)

Do you write smut?

Hahahahahahahahahaha

Craziest crossover:

Just going to count my TenMartha/TenRose fic, since that's the closest concept to a crossover I've got

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Hopefully not?

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Someone translated Bloodstream into Russian - I've made a couple of friends through that, too! 🥰

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

I've got two co-writing projects with my beloved @bronzeagepizzeria that have been sitting brutally neglected in my docs for months via late fall depression... BUT planning on getting those going again ASAP.

Also so many goddamn ideas of things to co-write with my other beloved, @badxwolfxrising - provided we ever get around to them. The joys of being 30+

All time favorite ship?

TentooRose 🩷🩷🩷

What's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

My companion piece to Ordinary Gifts that goes in-depth about the last time Ten and Rose fucked (in this fic’s universe)+ the first time Tentoo and Rose fuck. I want to write it so badly, but I am never not drowning

What are your writing strengths?

I think I'm decent at capturing emotions/what's going on in the characters' heads during smut scenes.

What are your writing weaknesses?

Focusing on one fic at a time. Making chapters less than 10k in my multi-chapter fics.

Thoughts on dialogue in another language?

I probably wouldn't translate/write it out just due to knowing how dodgy translation tools are/only speaking English myself, but I've seen other people do it well!

First fandom you wrote in?

I don't think this qualifies as a "fandom", but I was writing fanfic about Lena and Yulia from the group t.A.T.u in 2003 (and not posting it anywhere).

Favorite fic you've written?

I hate this question. It tends to jump between Bloodstream, For All We're Worth, and the Purpose of Repose

Tagging (forgive me if any of y'all have already been tagged, I never use tumblr and have no idea if you weren't tagged on the post I was tagged in!) @demdifferentstories-29 @badxwolfxrising @kcchameleon17 @naaer @elialys

well, looks like I put off writing for a whole 'nother month. And that means ITD has been on a temporary hiatus for SIX MONTHS. I feel a little bad. I suppose I can point to the fact that I didn't leave it on a cliffhanger ... ?

I have been heavily invested in reading BNHA fanfics (I've literally read so many that I can't find good ones anymore, and the rest would be hidden gems that don't rank highly enough to catch my attention yet), but the good news is that even the tiny thoughts about 'hm, maybe I could write one' have pretty much ended there, because there's enough (not enough I WANT MORE) brilliant stuff out there to read already, and any time I think about writing anything my brain cycles back around to finishing up this fic (despite having so few readers) because it's my word-baby.

I've also put serious consideration into redoing the first story with Shippo as a third-person POV (and streamlining the plot), but then I realized I'd need to re-write like the first 50k or so of the blue anshan as third-person, too, and that seems like a terrible slog, but then again, I did have a lot of story threads I had meant to expand differently when I'd originally started writing it, and the whole thing could use a major overhaul, but ... Maybe I'd name the new version "The Things We Want" and like make it a multi-story posting of the rewritten adventures jfc wait nvm that's a lot of writing

okay I've rambled long enough. esp about a fandom / crossover that doesn't hand back very much feedback to feed my need for validation.

Actual Story Updates: there are none. but here's another teaser from ch63 to tide (all three of) you over, as thanks for checking in that I'm still alive.

He briefly looked her over from head to toe, searching for trace of major injury or blood, and once he’d ensured she was still in one piece he scooped her into his arms for a fierce hug, burying his nose in her hair as he curled himself around her. “Holy fuck Kagome, why— where the hell—” he cut himself off with a shudder and a hacking cough, his nose wrinkling in disgust as he pulled away from her to peer more closely at her appearance. “Whoa,” he exclaimed at the completely unexpected riot of odors clinging to her dingy, dated clothing, and she peeked up at him with a sheepish half-smirk through a gap in her bangs. He coughed again and sneezed once with a brief shake of his head. “Look, I know I said I’d still like your scent even if you’d been rolling around in the woods for a week, but you smell like…” he trailed off, swallowing back a strong wave of nausea. “Like I’ve been traipsing around in a dungeon?” she offered with a deadpan expression as she tugged at the sodden edge of her sleeve with a long sigh. “Or maybe drenched in slime guts and bloody dragon bile?” His mouth fell open in brief surprise before he exhaled a chuckle and pulled her close again. “It’ll wash,” he muttered, savoring the feel of her back in his arms.

@febuwhump Percy Jackson Mini-Masterlist

Since 10/28 of my fanfics for febuwhump are in the Percy Jackson fandom, I thought I'd make a list with just those:

Day 1: Mind Control 1.2k T

Tartarus had its own rules. Fire was drinkable. The ground was the body of a dark god. The air was acid, and demigods could be turned into smokey corpses.

Compared to that, the idea of controlling poisons was… easy.

Percy glared at the poisonous lake around him. He focused, and reached with the part of his mind that allowed him to control water.The poisonous tide stopped. The fumes blew away from him and back towards the goddess. The lake of poison rolled toward her in tiny waves and rivulets.

Akhlys took a hesitant step back. “What is this?!” She looked alarmed, scared even. Percy thought it was a good look on her.

“Poison,” Percy snarled at her. “That’s your specialty, right?”

Day 3: Imprisonment  1.9k T

After the Giant War, Percy's life is looking up. His relationship with Annabeth is strong as ever. Poseidon regularly invites him down to Atlantis to spend time with him and Tyson. The greek and roman have resolved most of their issues. Grover is starting his life's calling as Lord of the Wild. Paul helps Percy get his drivers license, and Percy helps his mom paint a room for his soon to be little sister.

Everything is perfect.

That is, until someone abducts Percy.

Day 6: "Please come back."  2.4k G

Percy studies the outline of Chicago. What was once a beautiful lively city is now a deadly, haunted wasteland. Percy shoulders his pack and goes to move onward, when he smells something in the air.

Smoke.

Percy wonders if the undead have managed to set themselves on fire. It wouldn’t be the first time. However, in the back of his mind, a quiet, hopeful voice says that it could be another human.

Percy hasn’t seen another human or demigod in over three weeks.

Another part of his mind whispers that it could be a trap set by a monster. It definitely wouldn’t be the first time they’ve tried that. However, the chance of seeing another demi-god, or even a rare, unturned human is too much to turn up.

Percy follows the smoke.

Day 12: "Who are you?" 2.0k G

He wakes up in a forest. He’s on his back lying on the dirt, looking up at the green canopy above him. He doesn't know how he got here. He stands up and looks around.

Suddenly, there's a sound, startling him.He jumps and spins around. In front of him is a... man. At least, he looks like a man. He’s wearing black jogging shorts, and a green loose shirt.

Something flickers in the back of his mind, but he can’t quite grasp it. The man in front of him, who had definitely not been there a moment ago, seems eerily familiar, but he can’t remember where he’s seen him.

Actually he can’t remember anything, at all.

After the Last Olympian and before the Son of Neptune, Percy encounters Hermes a couple times in his amnesiac state.

Day 14: "I didn't mean it." 2.4k T

After the Giant War, Percy decides what he wants to do with the rest of his life, career-wise. Percy and Annabeth go to New Rome's University to study marine biology and architecture. They get a dorm together, and it slowly starts to feel like home to both of them.

One day, Annabeth gets stressed with university and unintentionally snaps at Percy sending him into a panic attack.

Day 18: "I can't see." 3.5k T

After the Giant War, Percy and Annabeth get kidnapped by one of Gaea's Giantesses who wants revenge on Percy for stopping her mother's plans to wake up. To defeat her, Percy goes all out with his powers as son of the earthshaker & natural disasters.

Nico and Will show up with Mrs. O'Leary.

Day 22: Burned 5.3k T

Communications are down; phones, landline and the Internet aren’t working. Percy gets a dream of Hermes captured, and on the brink of fading. Percy, Annabeth and Nico go on a journey to save him.

Very mild angst, along with a touch of powerful!percy, percabeth fluff, solangelo fluff and Mrs. O'Leary with adorable puppies.

Day 23: "Don't Look." 2.6k G

When Luke stabs himself and Kronos at the end of the Last Olympian, he lets out a surge of energy. Percy gets hit by this energy, and it transports him back in space and time all the way to England 1993, the summer before Harry Potter's third year.

~

A Percy Jackson and Harry Potter Crossover

Day 24: Memory Loss 1.5k G

George and Martha have been stolen. Everything seems too… quiet without their constant bantering and hissing in his ears.

He goes to Percy Jackson for help. Annabeth Chase is with him, she gets annoyed at his arrival. Percy tells her to go back to their picnic. He turns to Hermes to ask if they can step into his office and then grabs his arm -

Millennia of bad memories of deceitful mortals trying to poison, hurt and trick him instantly rush back to him and instinctively Hermes fingers twitch, milliseconds away from smiting Percy Jackson.

There was a very, very short list of beings that Hermes was so casual, so familiar, so trusting with. His mother Maia, his brother Apollo, his snakes George and Martha, mortal women he fell for, a few of his sons and the odd hero or mortal that dedicated their lives to him.

Percy Jackson wasn't any of them.

Day 28: "You have to let me go." 1.3k G

AU to the ending of Mark of Athena; what if Frank heard Hazel and flew back down to catch Percy and Annabeth before they fell into Tartarus? Is he strong enough to carry both of them to safety, or will one of them fall into Tartarus alone?

I hope yall enjoy these!! :)
