#as a writer reader inserts are nice bc you can just write a drabble or you can write a full multichapter fic and have it work cuz its like

[ryukyuin]

byi/rules!!

1.) BASIC DNI CRITERIA

༻﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡༺

2.) Anti-Proship

Loving reminder that proship means that you don’t harass people over fiction. It’s only a stance on harassment and censorship, and it doesn’t mean you have to like what I do or that I personally approve and enjoy what everyone else does! Quote from fanlore:

"The pro in pro-shipper means for, to contrast with the anti in anti-shipper (anti meaning against). However, possibly due to Fannish Osmosis, in some parts of fandom, the pro in pro-shipper has come to be understood as short for problematic instead.[5][6][7][8] Due to this new definition, many fans (mainly on Twitter) started to insert proshippers in their DNI lists because they do not want any type of contact with problematic ships These fans may also use the term "proship" as a noun to refer to the problematic ship that the proshipper allegedly supports. Others have incorrectly osmosed the word proshipper to be synonymous with pedophile."

So like. Yeah! Dances around. I don't fw most "problematic ships" but I just need pookies to know the actual definition of the term they are using before they start rallying hate mobs.

Fiction DOES affect reality, and you should be aware enough of that to cultivate your own online experience and use the function of blocking/filtering tags, blocking people, and your own common sense to make sure that you stay safe and everyone has fun!!

(Also if ppl block me bc they misunderstood I will scream and wail and sob /lh, DM/toss an ask if you have any questions!!)

༻﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡༺

3.) If you can't follow the Three Laws of Fandom/think Dark Media/Dead Dove: Do not Eat/Whump/Yandere enjoyers are normalizing what they are writing about, also shoo. Not the place for you.

I feel like this explains itself, esp since I kinda talked about it above. Please cultivate and foster the online experience you want, follow proper online social etiquette, and realize that just because I find Shaiapouf attractive doesn't mean I want him to gut and eat me in real life. (Most likely. Probably. Maybe. If he asks REALLY nicely and bats his little boytwink lashes and gayass wings /sillyj)

4.) Do NOT compare me with other writers.

They are them and I am me and we both deserve our own little gold sticker stuck to our forehead! I think it's important everyone gets the recognition they deserve and I've been inspired by SOSO many writers on here, so make sure to go send support where deserved!

༻﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡༺

WILL WRITE:

JJK, KNY, MHA, GI/HSR, HxH!! Mostly Phantom Troupe + Harbingers + Sampo + Satoru and Suguru + Shouta and Hizashi but like. Throw some crumbs through the tray slot, if I'm interested I will respond.

Yandere/Dark Fiction, reader-inserts, minor character death, non-con/dub-con slash hesitant? (doubtful of my writing skills to bring that justice), body horror/gore, dr**ging, etc...... idk I wanna flap my gay little wings and see whatever horrific shit I come up with /lh

WILL NOT DO:

Detailed pregnancy. I just can't man I don't want kids get those little HEATHENS OUTTA THERE!! I'll consider asks about it/drabbles but don't expect like an entire oneshot about it unless a hybrid AU takes me into a fucking chokehold. Then I might be doomed!

OCs, detailed requests, character/character requests (I can't say character/character as a whole I can feel Satosugu + the other homosexuals beaming lasers into the back of my head), oooomegaverse? Hybrids are neat-o to me but. I think I have Omegaverse PTSD I'll be real, come back when there's a more stable system/lore and less breeding.

SELF-HARM/SUICIDE IS A NO-GO!! Idk not only is it not fun for the reader/mc to just fucking. Croak. Self-harm is just not the way for me I don't think!! I MIIIGHHHT consider it but really don't get any hopes up.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW TO TAG SOMETHING IF IT IS TRIGGERING!! I WILL NOT BE MAD I AM JUST VERY FORGETFUL!! Idm if you ask tbh it honestly helps me find my own stuff once I go back, so win for everyone.

[slickchickchocolatier]

HI REI!! I LOVE ALL RHE 1SHOTS LIKE ERMAHGAWD THE ONE OF HEESEUNG EITN THE OLDER SISTER HAD ME BLUSHING MAD HARD AND THE ONE WHERE HEETHEN TOOK CARE OF YN WHEN DHE HAD HER PERIODT 🤧 SO I WAS CURIOUS WHO INSPIRES YOUR YNS AND HOW DO YOU COME UP WITH THEIR CHARACTER PERSONALITYS BCUZ ITS SO NICE TO READ SOMETHING WHERE THE YN IS NOT A NEEDY SLUT BCUZ EVERYTIME I READ THAT I CANT RELATE BCUZ THATS NOT HOW I WOULD ACT YOUR YNS ARE THE INLY ONES THAT I CAN ACTUALLY SEE AS MYSELF. IDK IF THAT MAKES SENSE I HOPE IT DOES LMAO BUT LUV YOUR STUFF PLS KEEP WRITING MORE! 💕💕💕💕💕💕

hiiiiii! ♥️ I’m glad you’re enjoying all the drabbles and I am flattered about what you said if my y/n’s. My biggest goal is to not do too much with them so you guys can fit in the story as the lead, and I totally understand where you’re coming from bc I personally do t like the overly needy y/n’s. Like a little bit is fine but I get turned off when I read a story where the y/n is pretty much coming off too strong, it’s just cringe for me so I feel you there. At the same time, I really don’t like boring y/n’s, but as much as I want to vibe up my y/n’s, I can’t because then it just won’t allow readers to format their own personas in the story.

but I digress, to answer your question, my y/n’s pretty much are inspired by one or a few girls that I’ve met or personally know (like friends or acquaintances) and then for the most part, just my own creativity in creating them. I don’t put too much thought into them because again, too much will defeat the idea of having you guys fit in the story. I’ve mentioned it before, I never use or place myself in the y/n position (I actually hate it when writers insert themselves as the y/n to the point where it becomes severely obvious) so because of that trend, I refuse to do that. I think the only time I actually did add something to a y/n that was inspired by yours truly, is Se7en’s y/n. There’s a couple, one being the bastard Forras, he was inspired a boss that I had in my previous part time job. The dude was a creep and a prick, I tried my best to be professional but ended up quitting after he made a very inappropriate and unnecessary comment about women, so yeah, Forras is inspired by that moron. The other thing was y/n’s (TMI moment)………titty piercings that Heelel had arranged and had done to her. I added them because I personally think they look sexy, and ever since I had mine done I wanted to add it to a y/n for a heelead that I figured would appreciate it the most. Although personally if you ask me, I think all the heeleads would find any type of piercing sexy. ;)

1, 2, 3 (Fiery Angel or Bookstore), 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15. Fanfic Ask Meme! (Alternatively you could do them all because I am infinitely curious!)

M(Fics mentioned in responses can be found on AO3, main account is named KageSora, a handful are from an alt account that’s kink-dedicated.  You can find that one by poking around on my main if you care to search for it.)

Fanfic Ask Meme

1.  What is your favorite fic you have under your belt?

Hrm, that’s a hard one...  I honestly don’t know if I can pick, because I like a bunch of them for entirely different reasons.  I’m pretty fond of “Demon Lord”.  I’m also pretty fond of “Love Thyself”, that collection of RataEmi drabbles.  ...If we’re talking alt account, “Warmth” definitely is up there at the top

2.  What is your favorite snippet of dialogue?

Oh, this one’s SUPER easy.  XD  (From “A Little Too Curious”)

“Aster, if you’re so determined to get yourself killed, just tell me and I’ll save you the trouble of finding an inventive way to do it.”

3.  What inspired [insert fic]?

Uhhhh...  Lessee...  IIRC, “Fiery Angel” was a fill for a fic prompt meme on Tumblr.  I can’t for the life of me remember about “Bookstore”, though.

5.  What’s your favorite headcanon you use in fics?

Crap, I’m not actually certain--I don’t really think about it enough to pay attention to when I’m leaning into headcanon or not, much less to do so regularly.  Maybe if I could get my ass together to write more often...

6.  What’s the detail you wait on bated breath for readers to notice?

Ahahaha...  None, actually.  I.  Don’t really put that much thought into it.  XD  I’m.  Not that deep of a writer.  THOUGH OKAY I DID WONDER IF ANYBODY WOULD CATCH THE HASTY PLOT HOLE REPAIR IN “WARMTH” THAT EXPLAINS WHY THEY COULDN’T JUST USE A FUCKING BLANKET.  I dunno if anybody actually caught that or not, which if not that’s good bc it means I fixed it well.  XD

9.  What’s the fic you like the least?

Hm.  That one’s also hard to say.  Might be “Addicted” because I was really hoping to get something out of trying to put the stuff going through my head down into words and it just...  Didn’t really work, wasn’t able to work through anything with it like I’d hoped.  Sometimes that happens.  But it’s helped at least one other person out there, though, so I don’t regret giving it a shot.

10.  What would you change if you had it all to do again?

I have a handful of fics that I’d largely keep the same but have some notable changes in terms of wording and such that I’d change because I feel like they’re not...  Great.  I mean they were from like almost 10 years ago so.  (I keep meaning to go back and make changes but also.  So much effort...)

I’d probably also change how I went about linking a few fics between accounts, ahahah.  I mean I could edit it up anyway but.  Like.  Uh.  They’re some of my more read fics so.  Uh.  Yeah.  I’d also probably have posted one of the fics to my alt account even if it didn’t technically fit in with the rest of what I write over there because it’s close enough and it’s still kinky so.  XD

11.  What’s a fanfic idea you haven’t done yet?

Well, a “dark” version of “A Little Too Curious” is still rotting on my HDD lmao.  I.  Have some serious changes I’d need to make before I can even continue it because going back over it I’ve now got notes on it that are like “what the FUCK????” and “DUDE WHAT THE HELL NOT OKAY” lmao.  I.  Am really wondering why past!me didn’t pay attention to the details of “well that’s actually pretty fucking messed up” in some areas.  LIKE YEAH IT’S MEANT TO BE KIND OF DARK BUT NOT.  T H A T.

I also wanna fic Werewolf Aster AU in some capacity at some point.  I’ve got a handful of other crackfic ideas but they’re ancient and would need absolutely ridiculous revising to even be worth considering lmao.

I DEFINITLY AM STILL HUNTING AROUND FOR INSPIRATION FOR A NICE RATATOSK/ASTER FIC IDEA.  I WANNA WRITE A NICE ONE FOR THEM WHERE THEY’RE.  LIKE.  WHERE IT’S NOT FUCKED UP DARKFIC.

12. What’s the hardest thing to write for you?

Anything mutlichap.  I just cannot multichap to save my life.  There’s a reason the only two multichaps I’ve got (aside from a drabble collection and one absolutely ancient one on an FFN account that wasn’t a coherent thing but was just a cracky mess of an actor au concept with unrelated chapters) are on indefinite hiatus.  ;_;  and why all my original stuff is one-off snapshots of events and characters

15.  Give us a snippet of something from your WiPs

Hmmm...  asdlkfjasdf  oKAY THIS ONE’S.  I’M TRYING TO WRITE IT BUT IT’S.  I’M NOT SURE HOW TO WRITE IT FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS including it takes forever to write smut because i have to bury my face in my hands every few lines  MY FILE IS SAVED AS “MEMEY HATEPWP CRACKFIC TRASH” FOR A REASON LMAO

It started with a stupid argument--Richter, frustrated about Emil breaking up with him to date Ratatosk saying “The hell is so special about your dick that he doesn’t even want mine anymore?”

Ratatosk, not being one to ignore an argument to be had, countering with the very convincing “Because I’m a better fuck than you could ever be.”

Emil, sensing an opportunity, offered “W-well, I’d be happy to judge.”

Things did not, however go Just According To Keikaku [author’s note: “keikaku” means plan]

And since u said u were curious about the others anyway...

4.  Do you prefer writing long or short fics?

Depends on how you define length, I like writing in the 1-5k range or so I guess?  Or at least that’s what a fair number of mine turn out as.  Mostly I just prefer anything but multichap orz

7.  How much do you like symbolism in your fics?

Eh, if it happens it happens.  I don’t usually try to write in any intentionally--honestly I can’t think of a specific time I did.  I enjoy reading it in stuff but I’m not great at figuring out how to put it in myself.

8.  How often do people catch onto your little details?

IDK, not super often usually for the simple reason that I don’t usually put a lot of tiny little details to be caught in?  Probably be a different story if I wrote longer stuff, but I just mostly don’t focus on that--I’m also, like, absolutely abysmal at telling when I’ve got a fun little detail or something in my own writing.  XD  Other people are more likely to discover it than I am to realize I included it lmao

13.  Do you have a favorite character to write for?

Aster, probably, or Emil.  :3

14.  What’s your favorite shipping fic you’ve written? Favorite gen fic?

For shipping fic...  Damn that’s also very hard because almost all of what I write is shipping so you get the same problem as question 1.  XD  TBH, probably the same answer as I gave for #1.

For gen stuff, though, “Cooking Problems” 100%.  #letemilsayfuck2kforever :p

[aloera]

The ask prompt is too long to fit into an ask TT_TT but here's the doc for it docs(.)google(.)com/document/d/1yDI7iFRhOJ8ENv_IwZAo3rDSUqj80EiJROS10RzRbj4/edit

the lengths u are going for this,,, much appreciated you're very sweet!!!

prompts + answers under the cut!!

INTRODUCTION

Name: aloera

AO3 account: aloera

Fandoms you write for: bnha

How many stories have you written so far: 19

FANFICTION PROFILE

What's your favorite fandom to write for? hmm,,, used to do pjo and eah (ever after high) and eah was fun as fuck i will say!!! i think bnha is my fav mostly bc i made the most friends in this fandom :D

What's your favorite character/person to write for? bkg and kirishima!! cannot choose do not make me <3

Fic you'd want to improve? probably what we deserve? i rushed the beginning and the confession is a bit stilted imo

Hardest fic you've written? between lion and men -_- bc there is so much canon compliant stuff i've gotta write out before i get to the divergence and its HARD

Easiest fic you've written? come home to me!!! it happened so easily,,, no second guessing no writers block just vibes <33 was lovely i miss it

What would you say is the most "famous" fic you've ever written? also probably come home to me? its got the most interaction

first line of the first fic you've ever written and published. [not including my 2014 ffnet fics] "The bell rings, class starts, and Katsuki and Midoriya are inexplicably absent." from come home to me

Have you ever done a collab with another writer? yes!!!!! on two separate occasions and its so fucking fun i highly recommend trying it out its the best

Do you beta? if asked but honestly im a shit beta lmao

Do you like joining fic fests/exchanges? depends on what i have going on irl but in general yeah!!

FANFICTION PREFERENCES

Fluff or angst? definitely fluff

"OCs" or "Reader" inserts? reader inserts!! have been going ham on them recently

Blurbs or drabbles? blurbs!!

One thing you love about fanfiction i just. i really love slice of life romance?? and most media doesn't give you that bc its dedicated to plot and action and that's valid!! but fanfiction fills in the gap which is really nice

One thing you don't like about fanfiction most of the stuff i don't like is less about actual fanfiction and more about how people behave about it

What is/are your favorite fandom author/authors? IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE!!! TURN IT UP!!!

bnha: hiuythn, rae_tnub, Moniix, Ata_Lanta, wrunic, chezka, PurplePersnickety, surveycorpsejean, mahadevi, arxaris, deviance, Oceanbreeze7, MikeWritesThings, bonnia, wonhaebunny, dinosuns

voltron: hiuythn, Oceanbreeze7, DeerstalkerDeathFrisbee, arahir, dinosuns,

and honorable mention to loveclouds im not even in the haikyuu fandom i just love their fics So Much

these are just the ones off the top of my head i have so many favourites idc if i'm only supposed 2 have one!! die mad about it!!!

What is your favorite trope? secret relationship + relationship reveal til the day i die babie <3 <3

Least favorite trope? hm,,, probably just like. angst lmao i cannot stand 90% of it

A fanfiction cliché that you can't help but love? coffeeshop aus,,,, so good

Do you have a type when it comes to pairings? the otp where its like. piece of shit + himbo = love. ex. krbk, catradora, jade/beck

Favorite setting/au? hm,,, truly i cannot pick one KGKSJNHKj but i really like college aus!! and modern aus!! and roommate aus!!

Explain the meaning of your favorite line of dialogue you've written as if someone hasn't read it in context. “He doesn’t know,” Katsuki says, softly. “My timer stopped and nothing happened. He’s not mine.”

the line is from what we deserve!! it's a soulmate au where your timer counts down to the moment that you meet your soulmate!! bakugou's timer ends at USJ when he and kirishima attack kurogiri at the same time (impulsive kings <33) but kirishima's timer doesn't end until kamino because that's when he accepts himself as bakugous soulmate!! unfortunately, when bakugous timer has reached 0, he turned to see that kirishima's was still ticking and therefore believes that kirishima isn't his soulmate.

this line just,, idk. it's really sad. bakugou is such an action-driven character? if something doesn't go his way he Makes it go his way. he's got this insanely volatile quirk and he's got impeccable control of it!! but his love for kirishima isn't something that he can change and he's not going to ruin kirishima's chance of finding his own soulmate because he loves him and wants him to be happy. i really wanted to focus on how resigned he is? and how unusual that is for a character like him.

Favorite trope/genre to write? again, secret relationship with relationship reveals <33 fluff in general is my wheelhouse!!!

A trope/genre you haven't written but think would be a fun challenge? idk if this counts?? have been working on some dead dove concepts!! its super different from what i normally write so its a cool challenge

The one trope/concept you'll never touch and why probably cheating/infidelity?? it just looks,,, super difficult to write well and i don't have enough of an interest in it to try it out

Which do you prefer to write: longer or shorter fics? shorter!! low attention span gang <3

Ideal length to read? 5-10k?

Ideal length to write? 4-8k!!

How long was the longest fic you've ever written? control fraek is around 28k i think?

Have you ever written an AU? yeah!! i've done restaurant au's, soulmate au's, pro hero aus, and fantasy aus (general, not the bnha fantasy ending)

What's your favorite AU trope? hm,, probably when two people in authority are in a secret relationship? ceo's/uni professors/etc etc

Have you ever written smut? yeah!! was. difficult tho

What's your comfort genre? (the one you fall on most in writing/reading) fluff,,, hurt/comfort,,, fix-it fics with happy endings <3

If you were to start writing in other fandoms, which would they be? maybe jjk?? the characters are really cool!!!! fr i might go back to my ever after high roots i love the characters and setting so Much its so fun!!! idec if no ones into it anymore!!!!!

Is there a trope you think you could be easily recognized by in your writing? i've had people say they saw the mention of buff hagakure and recognized it was me so. probably that skdjhnksjd

WRITING STYLE

How would you describe your style? i tend to use shorter sentences and pretty simple words i think? and i gravitate towards lighthearted concepts that allow for ensemble casts and humour!!

Describe your style in three words romcom but fanfic

Favorite words to use when writing? the word reverent!! fuckin love including it!!

Dialogue tags or no dialogue tags? (she said, he said, they said, etc) dialogue tags!!!

Favorite dialogue tag (other than said, if you use them) again idk if this counts but "they said softly" is unmatched

Long sentences vs short vs a mix short <33

What colors would you use to describe your writing? hm,,, depends on the fic i would say?? control fraek is dark green to me?? kinda like a forest at night yk?? scary but there's still life there. sugar cookies is yellow like early morning sunlight, when it rains is yellowy-orange like a caution sign. not gonna list all of them cause theres a lot its just. do u get it? the colours change based on the vibe of the fic.

What song or music genre would you use to describe your writing? think. i am constantly trying to emulate that moment at the end of wasteland baby when hozier goes "im in love/im in love with you."

What kind of metaphors do you rely on? religious metaphors my beloved <33 they're just so pretty!!! i also love comparing stuff to water for some reason?? like that ocean vuong quote thats like "what are you now?/water." it goes hard!!!

What's something you'd say is experimental in your writing at this time? definitely action!! i have,,, no idea how to write it so anything i do is really just me playing around and seeing what works and what doesn't

Do you prefer to write by hand or to type? i've tried both!! personally i prefer typing because it goes way faster but i will say that writing by hand lets me get words down when i'm going through writer's block

What is your preferred place to write (notebook, laptop, cellphone, etc.)? laptop!!

What app/apps do you use to write (word, notepad, etc.)? google docs skjdnkjh its fine on desktop but mobile is,,,,, disgusting

Do you keep a notebook or file/notes page in your phone/device for notes on your writing? ngl i just have everything organized in my drive?? one folder per fandom and then sub folders for ideas+hcs, unfinished wips, and finished fics. multichaps get sub sub folders so i can organize outlines and drafts

Do you listen to music to help you write? yeah!! playlists organized by fic vibe :D

Where do you usually go to write (bedroom, living room, etc.)? mostly in my bedroom??? but moving around to different stops helps too i think!!

How long does it usually take for you to write? again this depends on what i have going on irl, how attached i am to the idea, my mindset at the time, etc!! i am,, the least consistent person skjnhdkjh.

What's your favorite font to use when writing? times new roman my beloved

Other writing habits? sometimes i'll write in the dark?? bad for my eyes but for some reason it gets the words flowing

CONCEPTUALIZATION

How do you conceptualize your ideas? (See specific moments like they're a movie, writing specific lines in your head, don't know until you put the words on paper, etc.) i tend to get inspiration from movies, books, poems, or other fics!!! sometimes one line just makes me go oh,, i want to write something like that,,, and then it helps me create an idea that makes me feel the same way?? i did this with control fraek!!!! i wanted a scenario where bakugou was cold and calculating and i was like hm. to do that he’d have to be focusing on something important. and from there i was able to flesh out the rest of the idea.

Which comes first: the pairing or the plot? with krbk its always always the pairing,, i'll be sitting there like wow <33 i love them <33 what if one of them had amnesia <33 (which, yes, wip!!) otherwise it's usually the plot!! and i slot in characters that i feel make sense

Have you ever used a prompt? yeah!! used a prompt for wlw week 2020 and it was fun as hell

Do you write around the story around a specific scene you want to get to or do you start from a plot idea definitely the first!!!! i almost always write like,,, a super messy scene thats 90% dialogue, keep it in my head, and then write the entire fic around that one moment

Do you find that you include a projection of some part of yourself in the way you write a character? a lot of the time when i write love confessions or love in general i'll have one of the characters think or say that the other person makes their head quiet? and it's because that's what i feel whenever i'm in love?? a quiet mind. i project on characters yeah but i think most of the projection actually goes to the way that i write love

Do you research some of the things you write deeply, partially and kind of wing the rest, or play entirely by ear (in this case, go with whatever base knowledge of the subject you have)? most of the time if i do research it'll be about the setting (ex. the izakaya in to have and to hold) or if i'm having the characters interact with an object that they like. need to know how to use (me, in control fraek: google. hey google. does someone die if they get shot in the foot??? no???? awesome thank u <3)

Have you ever had an idea for a story and forgot about it? lmaoo yeah all the time i'll find like 500-2k words of concepts in my gdocs like i do. not remember this at all

Is there a trope you think you could be easily recognized by in your writing? probably krbk secret relationship lmao

Are there concepts you've tried that turned out better than expected? yeah!! i fully thought the action in control fraek would be awful but it turned out not bad??? which im happy with

Are there concepts you've tried that turned out worse than you expected? again, what we deserve, i personally think it would have worked out better if i'd paced it slower and drawn out the pining but i. do not feel like going back to fix it so its staying the way that it is. pining is so fucking hard to do AHHHH i get so tired with it!!! im like just date already!!!!

PROCESS

How do you come up with titles? in rare occasions (literally. all my multichaps for some reason) the title comes after writing like .5 words of the first chapter im like YES this is it!!!!! sometimes i write the whole thing and pick out one line that fits (what i did with come home to me) a lot of the time i just. steal from songs or poems that i like

What's your favorite emotion to cause on your readers? i like making people happy!!!! love when people comment saying they're cheered up

What's your favorite emotion to write? lovelovelovelovelovelove

Have you ever cried or felt any emotion while reading something you've written? never cried?? but sometimes i'll rereading my hurt/comfort fics 4. yk. comfort

Do you write in order or whatever comes to you? in order!! unless i have a scene that i Need to write and i'll quickly jot it down so that i don't forget

Usual way you procrastinate while writing? ...doing asks like this, making playlists, discord, watching netflix. what don't i do smh

Do you outline or free write? i am. so shit at outlines. i mostly free write and write lil notes for stuff that i wanna add later

Do you set word goals or scene goals (scenes you want to include)? yes!! like i said i'll write loose notes for scenes that i want to add later!! it gives me something to write towards :D

What do you consider when writing your scenes? what goes into making the atmosphere and mood you want? to set a scene i do two things? the first is like,, the five senses bc that always sets the scene really well and makes it feel Real. i'll visualize stuff in my head like its a movie and write out what i would want to tell the set designer?? if the lights are low, if the space is busy, if it's supposed to exude comfort or not.

for putting forward the character's mood one thing i've found that makes a difference is sentence length!! long sentences are good for making a character seem flustered and nervous or not really in control of their emotions? good for love confessions. short sentences are good for when the character is focused on something or short on time. good for fights!!

What's something you never considered to include in your writing that you can't leave out now? def buff hagakure,,,, once i thought of it i was like. if i don't include this at least once in every single fic how could i look at myself in the mirror!!!!!! how could i face anyone!!!!

How do you start a story? establishing a fact about the character or describing the setting! option a is one single thread of gold, option b is between lion and men

How do you end a story? either by tying it back to the beginning or doing like a funny kind of closing??? option a is sugar cookies, option b is a godless society

How do you get out of writer's block? change something!! move something!! i go from typing to handwriting, moving from my bedroom to my living room, switching wips to work on something else!! i do sprints as well?? give myself like fifteen minutes to write something and sometimes 200 words opens up the way for another 2k. sometimes i'll just delete like 500 words and start fresh

Do you edit? or do you toss your writing out there? i edit!!! i'll go over it myself then send it to one or two betas (bee my beloved <33)

How do you edit? do you use spellcheck, grammar checkers, etc? bee is my grammar checker bc he is So Good with grammar. i use grammarly as well for spellcheck stuff mostly?? sometimes my edit process is just like "am i tired of looking at this!! yes <3" and then i post it

PROGRESS

Do you usually like what you write? yeah!!! i post stuff that makes me happy and that i'm fine with rereading!!! i write stuff for self-indulgence reasons first and foremost and i think my writing reflects that sjhnksj

Have you ever written something you didn't like but posted anyways? nope!! even what we deserve i LIKED even if i see a lot of room 4 improvement!! if i don't like smth it's not getting posted

Do you find yourself rereading your writing often? yeah!! the reason i wrote so much krbk secret relationship is because i loved it but i'd read all that there was so i just,, wrote more,, ngl its kinda nice being in a place where i actually like my writing bc i can write stuff that i want to see and really enjoy it!!

Can you tell us anything about your current WIP? sure!! i'm currently working on when it rains which is a fic where bakugou gets hit by a crying quirk!! i'm gonna be using it to explore So Much of all might's character and his relationships with bakugou and aizawa (and i think some people from his past!!)

Can you give us a sneak peek on your current WIP? “You did something. What the hell did you do?” Kirishima sounds pissed off. It would amuse Katsuki if he wasn’t fighting just to stay standing.

“Nothing he didn’t ask for,” Shinsou replies.

“K’ri… shima,” Katsuki croaks out. “‘S fine. Not him.”

His chest collapses back into the familiar dry heaving after that but Kirishima shuts up. He doesn’t apologize to Shinsou.

Kirishima’s a good friend, stubborn and loyal. He stands by Katsuki’s side like an attack dog, blocking him from the view of anyone ogling at his tears.

The last line you've written Ochako knows more than she'd realized. She knows enough to keep her guard up.

It’s not enough.

Open a wip. what’s the first line?

Katsuki wakes up feeling like absolute fucking shit.

INSIGHT

What's your favorite thing about writing? touched on this before but it's mainly just being able to write the things that i want to see and actually enjoy them!!! actually reread them!!!! i thought "wouldn't it be cool if bkg and kirishima owned a restaurant together" and then i wrote it and i like it enough to reread it!!!! being able to create content for myself makes me. so happy

How do you keep yourself inspired? this is gonna sound narcissistic maybe but honestly i'm just really excited about my ideas and where i'm gonna take them and the idea of "i'm gonna get to That scene" keeps me going through the entire thing. also my friends!!!! i'll talk to them about fics and their reactions keep me hyped up enough to finish!!!!

What is your favorite thing to write? just,, slice of life romance,,, stuff thats silly and makes people laugh!!

What do you think your strengths are in writing? i'm good with dialogue!! i do lil voice acting sessions with myself to make sure everything sounds natural and like it's coming from that character skhjnskj

i'm comfortable with my portrayal of love as well??? i spend a lot of time thinking about what it is exactly that i'm trying to get across and i think it turns out well!!

What are things you wish you could practice more? on one hand i wanna get better at writing angst on the other hand i dislike writing angst. do you see my issue

One way you've improved your writing since you began? characterization!! i think i've gotten better at writing characters that are all Different and bring different things to the table!!! i used to project a lot more and it would compromise the characterization because the character was like 70% me and 30% them? not to say that projection is bad but if you do it too much it just,, doesn't read like the character and from a reader's standpoint the narrative can become less compelling

One aspect of writing you're still working on? writing action!!! i. literally hate writing it but i write for a fandom about superheroes so. Unfortunately i gotta learn.

A piece of writing advice you've learned while writing saw this on another tumblr post but they said sometimes if you're struggling with a scene, the problem is five lines back. i've found that to be true!!!! sometimes u gotta delete a chunk and start a little ways back!! i did this with too busy being yours because i was stuck for Weeks and i deleted like 25% of what i had but it helped me actually finish it :D

A bit of writing advice you can't stand when people shit on show don't tell for being overrated lmao bc when u read their writing you can Tell

Something you wish you knew when you first started writing? ,,,,honestly i kind of wish i could know some of the stuff that i used to when i first started writing?? technically i'm better now but creatively i was must better when i wasn't stressing about whether anyone would like what i was writing. so i guess i wish i knew that i should keep that confidence? i kinda wish that i wasn't as insecure about other people's writing styles because i never used to be!!

Something you've learned in life that you apply in writing there's no point in feeling inferior?? writing one genre isn't better than the other. being in one fandom isn't better than being in another. the kind of language you use or the length of your paragraphs- none of that stuff like. matters. what matters is that you're having fun and happy with what you're creating!!!! enjoy other peoples writing but don't let it make you feel worse about yours :D

Challenge, Anyone?

ENTRY IS CLOSED! THANK YOU!

Yeaup! Another challenge, after I swore I wouldn’t do another one! 

So, here’s the deal: I’m tired of writing. It’s your turn. I need a rest!

That’s right. I want YOU to write ME a story. But not just any story. A 500 word or less story involving Sam or Dean or Cas, using one of the awesome dialogue prompts I have written for you... 

You feeling up to the challenge? Check out the rules and prompts below the cut!

THE RULES:

Must be following Me... don’t worry, I’m super awesome and it’s worth it. 

Pick a prompt from the list below and SEND ME AN ASK with your choice and a backup number just in case. FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED. One writer per prompt. (i’ll cross out the prompt here when it’s been snagged)

Your story should be featuring Sam, Dean, or Cas. Reader insert. Doesn’t have to be romantic pairing, but you need to use one or all of the boys. Wincest and Destiel are fine, but you need to tag appropriately. 

Any genre is fine, but you MUST use proper warnings. 

The opening of your post should state: Brief summary, Characters/Pairings, Word Count, Warnings. And please tag me in the A/N so I see it. 

YOU MUST USE A KEEP READING! It’s just polite. Any NSFW things should always be below this line anyway. ;) no KR, I no rebloggy.

here’s the kicker: IF YOU GO OVER 500 WORDS - YOU LOSE! It’s a drabble challenge! 500 words MAX! You can do a lot in a little space, and it’s always fun to see how much story you can cram into it. ;)

You may post your fics any time they are done, my masterlist will go up on May 10th. So you have one full month. If you need to drop out, just let me know. I’m not gonna hound anyone for fics. 

If I, @impaladreamers-mainfrigginblog, has not at least liked your fic in 3 days or so, send me the link, bc I never got it. 

You can use #tell me a story challenge, but you don’t have to, just let me know in the opening that it’s for this challenge. ;)

um.... ? use tags properly, tag me,, Zero Hate towards anyone will be tolerated... uh... have fun!
