Thanks for thinking of me, @serenaoffaerun!! 🥰 I'm chuffed any time anyone wants to hear about my writing! I've answered this in some detail once before (it's been a bit!) and not a lot has changed so I won't yap too much. But I can update this list now that I've got a lot more things out there! My #1 is still Service and Worship are not Love. This is (to me) my best writing and my best story. And I am *very* eager to get back to it soon. I know it's hard to jump into long-fics for a lot of reasons - but if you've ever jived with my writing and want some more, this will always be my first recommendation!!

In no particular order, my other 4 favorites! 2. We're at War: The Wizard and the Commander 3. Back from the Dead 4. Should've Noticed You Sooner 5. Dr. Demi Bee's October 2024 Blurb-A-Palooza (Though it's far from finished - I'm having a blast writing these mini prompts for October. 😉)

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Spread the self-love 💕

I haven't actually started anything yet besides my chapters 2, 3, and part of 4 for the "Consequences" series that Alpydk started -- I have to wait until I'm done with my huge art commission I've been working on for over a year. However, if they haven't already, let's see what @alpydk, @auroraesmeraldarose, @dr-demi-bee, @waterdeep-weavemoss and @galeorderbride have to say for themselves 😉

Maybe the soul as an organ could’ve ancestrally evolved in your AU world’s vertebrates as a filtering organ, like a kidney, that sat over the heart and filtered blood of toxins and what not. Then it could’ve evolved in humans and monsters to also regulate magical energies. Which is why soul entities can possess human souls, because they already act as a storage for magical forces.

OH. MY. GOSH. This is an amazing theory! KWHFSdkjadnfgl And it even lines up perfectly with what I theorized on how (in this AU) Magic is toxic in concentrated amounts!!! It's literally a gosh-dang MAGIC FILTERING LIVER!

Dr. Carb is very excited about this new development in fictional evolutionary biology.

The soul probably looks quite different when its inside the body. Its physical- but it is not as "physical" as some other organs. And since filtering magic is so crucial, the soul is closer to the heart so it can filter magic directly from the bloodstream. Yippie!

if spamton didn't know about the strings until neo, does that mean he didn't question turning into a puppet at all before then?

Oh that's just what Addisons look like. When you Melt their Skin off. With Acid.

He's missing his skin.

What would Dr D Light do if he ever lost a patient. If the patient had a kid and died would Dr D look after them till a family member takes them in.

Also has had ever had to stay in the house of a patient as a live in nurse.

If a patient dies Dr. D. Light would be upset about it but it's something he knows to expect as part of the job.

If the patient had a kid he might look after them for a brief period but would eventually relinquish them to other family or some sort of foster care.

I don't think the Dr works that much in long-term care for an individual. He would probably pass that work off to someone more equipped to be a live-in carer.

I know Kishin would never hurt anyone so the scenario of him getting blood ever near his mouth is rare. But what if he went to help someone who got hurt and when he was helping to bandage up their wound, blood spurts onto his face, and some of it got into his mouth? Or he swiped the sweat off his face and got the blood that was on his hands on his face and got some in his mouth. What would happen to Kishin if this happened? And could wisteria flowers help him ward off any demon side effects?

(To answer this ask I decided to do some doodles on my tablet xD)

Well, starting with what happens to Kishin if a little blood gets in his mouth... He faints

Kishin gets so desperate and he has such an aversion to blood that he just faints like that.

One time this happened and Irina was terrified thinking that Kishin had some kind of allergic reaction and died, so she called Dr. Antares and he calmed her down.

And now about the wisteria flowers, they have a totally different effect on Kishin.

They make him drunk.

Kishin forgets that he gets totally drunk when he eats these flowers and so he eats them every now and then xD

Kishin is totally drunk here lol👇🥐

Writing Interview Tag Game!

Thanks for the tag @lastlight-inn! 🥰

When did you start writing?

TBH, that's hard to pin down! I was drawing clumsy comics with story lines as early as 4th grade (so like 9 or 10ish?) - and I've always had a thing for telling stories. I don't think I started earnestly writing until maybe 12. But I know for sure I was writing in middle school, and was well and truly into it in high school. There was a brief once-upon-a-time I thought about going that way for a career (but I also considered being an artist or musician ha).

Are there different themes or genres you enjoy reading than what you write?

So, I find I often write a lot darker than I read. Broadly speaking, I read a lot of fantasy, sci-fi, and some non-fiction. But I write predominantly fantasy. I've dabbled in sci-fi, but I find it a lot harder (perhaps because I'm quite picky about science accuracy).

But thematically, I much prefer to read romances and lighter hearted drama. I think my writing might lean a bit darker than I typically consume (more focus on harsh/traumatic topics).

Is there a writer you want to emulate or get compared to often?

Ahhh this is so hard to answer. I've not had anyone really compare my work to others (at least not by name). I don't try to copy anyone's style, but I definitely am influenced by many.

If I have to pick some - Oliver Sacks, Tolkien, and GRRM.

Can you tell me a bit about your writing space?

Well! I have several!

My main office is in an open loft in the second floor of my house - past the railings are large picture windows that look out into my woods and let in a lot of natural light. I've got an L shaped desk stocked with supplies/notebooks/snacks. It looks like the kind of organized chaos one expects with ADHD.

On the left hand is an easel for painting/drawing, and on the right hand is my dual monitor set up (slightly lofted). My space is covered in cute knickknacks and things my husband has made for me. He's a wood worker, so there's lots of cute little things - including a little ghost and a miniature zen garden. I also have an owl skull and spine. My keyboard/mouse/mat and wrist pads are all space themed, as is the desktop (not that you can ever see it.) Beside my desk is my behemoth, very colorful PC tower I built myself (named Eureka).

I also have a yoga laptop that doubles as my writing on the go platform and drawing tablet (named Epiphany). I'll take it downstairs to write on my armchair, or into one of the bedrooms for some more quiet and soft surfaces. And I also take it with me on trips. Had a nice period on vacation at the beach where I got to write in a rocking chair on the porch looking out at the ocean. Ahh... (take me back :sob:)

Very occasionally I will write on my phone. But this is mostly just for notes and short form RP sort of writing.

What's your most effective way to muster up a muse?

So aside from becoming obsessed with something (e.g. media or my own imagined world) usually I get my ideas via listening to music or taking a shower.

Or, inevitably, whenever I'm doing something else that doesn't give me time to write. I wrote several chapters of my novel while writing my dissertation... procrasti-writing.

Are there any recurring themes in your writing? Do they surprise you?

On the positive side: found family, loving through pain, helping each other to heal, platonic love.

On the less positive side: the effects of trauma, the way danger and stress hurts our bodies and our minds. Fighting through adversity and oppression. Chronic pain/conditions.

I'm not super surprised by either of these, really - they're all a big part my scientific life too. Before I left clinical practice I primarily helped individuals recover from trauma and addiction - and that involved a lot of working on finding self worth. My research was all devoted to studying stress and cognition - and I tried to pioneer new work on intrusive cognitions. I think this probably comes out heavily in my writing for fun, too.

What is your reason for writing?

Fun, mostly. Catharsis. And a bit of dissociating, I suppose. I've always just kind of had the urge to spew stories out into the world, even if it's just for me. I also write to connect with others.

Is there any specific comment or type of comment you find particularly motivating?

Ohhhh, any comment makes me incredibly happy. If someone says they like something specific I am over the moon. I'm especially thrilled to hear anyone connecting with or caring about my OC characters.

When another writer I really admire or respect gives me a comment or praise (like @alpydk or @sorceresssundries) my little heart feels ready to burst! Recently had the absolute delight of having friends read and react in real time to some of my work and gooood grief is that ever motivating. (@crimson-and-lavender and @lastlight-inn I'm looking at you lol)

How do you want to be thought about by your readers?

I want to be approachable and interesting as a person. I hope people want to read my work or even collab.

I want my writing to be novel, engaging, and exciting. I want to subvert their expectations, but also tell them a story that's approachable and will resonate with them.

Mostly I want my writing to make others feel (good).

What do you feel is your greatest strength as a writer?

The longer I've been writing things - honestly, I think it's patience. Being willing to change ideas, move them around, or even abandon them if need be. It took a long time to be okay with those things.

How do you feel about your own writing?

Oh, we have a love hate relationship. I know I can be a bit...verbose. But I also find my own writing pretty fun and interesting. I know I've done a pretty good job if I enjoy re-reading it.

Hi again!

I had a small drawing request: Agent Phoenix and Dr Prism eating sushi (and in Phoenix's case, a very strange one)

Based off of one of your Headcannons

you got it!

disclosure: my only experiences with sushi are from watching my brother eat it so i just googled “weird sushi” and picked kani miso sushi bc it looked sufficiently strange

Hey peppino you re ok? I like you and gustavo😀

I don’t know what else to say except Sonic didn’t tell Pep about THAT part-

(Also should probably say I won’t be doing asks with Sonic but I let this one slide since I thought it was pretty funny-)

[the-roadtrip-system]

what are your opinions on the "dr ratio is a worm and also an emanator of elation" theory ^_^

not only is it funny as hell it also makes a surprising amount of sense!! which makes it even funnier!

i really hope one day we get ratio lore that officially confirms his wormhood that would be so great
