i was tagged by @figbian thank u!!!

rules: post six sentences of your wip

haven't done a tag game in ages but maybe this will actually inspire me to finish a fic considering i haven't done that since like, may of last year

here's a pynch bandfic i'm working on:

Gansey, who had been lying comfortable on a thrifted La-Z-Boy with his legs crossed daintily at the ankle, had gently removed Ronan's elbow from his larynx and said, "I object to slutty. But also, Jesus H. Christ." Gansey had inadvertently flirted with every person he had ever been within a half-mile radius of, on account of the fact that he had a smile like a Kennedy and he always smelled of whiskey and fresh mint. He'd met forty percent of Spinbar, a Phoenix-based emo five-piece with a new album and a cult-like following, at a cocktail bar in D.C., humble and charming and a little drunk. When it came time for to the band to decide on an opener for their fall tour, then, the drummer, inevitably, had remembered a dimpled guitarist squinting sleepy, hazel eyes over the rim of a mint julep. And then Declan had worked the managerial magic he'd naturally acquired as a result of years of corralling his younger brothers into some semblance of a functional family, and Ronan could have kissed Gansey, and Hennessy did kiss Gansey, and now all of Malinhead were standing in front of a garage on a balmy Tuesday evening.

aaaand here's my bookstore au. also pynch. obviously:

Ronan. Adam hadn’t meant to read the name on the card the guy had slid over the counter when he’d bought that book on ornithology, the thick, yellowing one with the broken spine that had probably been there since the shop opened in 1995. But it had been right there in front of his eyes and the asshole leaning his sunburnt elbows against the other side of the counter had been so incongruous with the delicate blue bird embossed on the cover of the book he’d carefully handed to Adam and Adam had just been filled with a staggering need to know something. At least his name actually made sense. Ronan N. Lynch. It sounded as razor-edged as he looked.

i'm tagging the first three writers that come to mind!!! apologies if u've already done this!!! @parrished @stewyonmolly @aaronstveit

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 (except me because obvs I have done it). Spread the self-love ❤

D'aww thank you hun! I'm not sure I can answer with five because all my favorite fics written by me don't even exist on the internet anymore. 🙊 But I can always try~

To the Moon and Back is something I'm currently working on and very excited about. It's a multichapter Final Fantasy 7 fic, Cloud/Zack, omegaverse, rated E etc.

Since it's my very first FF7 fic as well as my first published omegaverse fic ever, I was initially quite nervous to even start writing it let alone publish it. It has three published chapters on ao3, all of which have gotten positive feedback so far (and subs, I see ya <3), which obviously inspires me a lot. I'm already having lots of ideas for future chapters and also few good ideas how I'm going to end it, something which doesn't always happen to me (I just go with the flow, most of time). The story also has some non-traditional omegaverse elements because well, omegas and alphas don't always have to be so stereotypical, I think, and... truthfully... I just had a mighty craving for some sloppy bottom/omega!Zack the fandom is feeding me absolute crumbs in that sense and seems to think cloud's dick is just a pretty accessory XD I'm feeling like I can actually make my own rules here and it feels pretty damn good right now.

A Touch of Cinnamon, Gallahir/Witcher. Roommates, Friends to Lovers, multichapter, rated E. I answered in another tag game already why this story was such a passion project for me last autumn, but yeah. It was inspired by OneofWeb's Buttercup Tattoo series (some really nice works there <3), and I genuinely enjoyed writing and planning it. Like I also mentioned before, it's still a work in progress but never say never. :D

There Must Be An Angel (Playing With My Heart), Harringrove/Stranger Things, Homelessness/Guardian Angels, multichapter, rated E.

How this story originally got its inspiration, well... once upon a time I watched a Japanese gay porn movie with a plot (gasp) and uhh, I might've expanded on that a little bit. *hides* Sadly the story only has one chapter that's been lying in wait for almost two years now, but... I am still thinking about it sometimes. I really liked the original idea (:P) and I still like the following story idea that I came up with, so hmm. Maybe if I get inspired to write something for this ship again, I could be tempted to continue this.

As for other two... I used to write plenty of rps bandfic back in the day and that one AU one-shot (or was it two-shot? anyway) I wrote somewhere around late 2008 I think, got a little bit smutty, a little bit 'problematic' as well, and man... what can I say, I still like that one. A lot, actually. The ship I wrote that fic for wasn't super popular in that band either but didn't matter to me.

And the fifth? One of my future works perhaps? :D

As for tagging... I already tagged a few people in previous tag games and I don't know how many of you actually care about doing these things, so... feel free to take this from me if you see this and want to do this. <3

[ladespeinada]

I, M, N, choose your favorite or feel free to do 'em all!

I: Do you have a guilty pleasure in fic (reading or writing)?

I was raised Catholic so I feel guilty about a lot of things, lol, but I think a lingering guilty pleasure for me is writing songfics. I haven't done it in a while, but it's how I got into fanfic in general. This was way, way back in the day when I was writing on Ye Olde Quizilla (rip), and mostly writing bandfic, so it was pretty popular there. Outside of it, not as popular, lol.

M: Got any premises on the back burner that you’d care to share?

Yes! A follow-up to "only you, darling" that I've been tinkering with but is nowhere close to being done, and a canon divergence Syd x Carmy fic where they meet in New York, way before Syd works at The Beef/The Bear. Don't know if either of those will be completed, but maybe, who knows???

N: Is there a fic you wish someone else would write (or finish) for you?

In some The Bear meta or comments or tags or something, someone mentioned a fic idea for a Syd x Carmy divorce fic where they eventually get back together, and I would like to see it!!! Also, more Marcus x Luca, please, for the love of all that is good. I'd do it myself but it's intimidating!

Shipper Tag Game

Thank you for the tag @thesilversun ❤️

1. What ship were you completely obsessed with when you were a teenager, but now you don't care about anymore? I'm trying to think back to what I was even into as a teen...I read and wrote bandfic around my early to mid teens, but I'm not naming the bands 😂 Beyond that, there was Buffy/Angel from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Sam/Gene from Life on Mars, Fraser/Ray K from Due South, Sirius/Lupin from Harry Potter. The only one of those I couldn't care less about anymore is the last one...the rest just make me feel nostalgic.

2. Which ship would you consider your first one? I can't even remember?? Probably something like Leia/Han in Star Wars, but I wouldn't have known to call it 'shipping' back then.

3. Your first fanfic was about which couple? It was a reader insert bandfic but I really don't want to talk about that lol.

4. Do you remember the first couple you saw fanart of? No clue at all.

5. Have you ever gotten into ship discourse? No. I avoid stuff I'm not into and don't get why everyone else can't just do the same.

6. Did you use to have any NOTP or have one currently? I used to be less open to multi-shipping involving the same characters when I was younger. Now, depending on characters/circumstances, I'm much more inclined to say throw them all in together and analyse the results lol.

Having said that, I hated what Sense8 did by inserting Dani into Lito's and Hernando's relationship. They could have done poly rep in literally any other way than how they did it, but what actually happened was just weird and creepy.

7. Who were the couple in the last fanfic you read? Carmen/Richie from The Bear. I wasn't even really into it when I first watched the show, but after re-watching with my husband, I needed to scratch an itch I didn't even know I had.

8. Currently, do you have any OTPs? I never used to really think I did, but now, after spending the past 3 years writing a longfic for Javier/Horacio from Narcos, they're always going to hold a very special and unique place in my heart ❤️

9. Is there any couple that, to this day, you are extremely mad about not getting together? Not that I can think of, because in my mind, shipping is largely an entirely different thing to canon. It bears no relevance to the events of canon a lot of the time and fan fic means you can do whatever you want anyway. More often than not, my favourite ships tend to be non-canon, so I treat the two things separately in my brain.

10. Is there any ship you used to dislike but now you think they are kind of interesting? Not dislike, no. More likely never really considered before until a lightbulb switches on in my brain (maybe during a re-watch or if something happens in a new episode) and suddenly, I'm interested.

11. Do you have any ship that, in the past, would've been considered normal but now you would be cancelled over? Don't think I'm important enough to be 'cancelled' lol, but I find shipping in general in fandom has become kind of vanilla and bland. People get really hung up on what is and isn't canon and miss the nuance of messy, complicated relationships and dynamics between characters. They stay away from a lot of rarer pairings and stick closely to the fandom-approved or actor-approved 'purer' ships. A lot of people say they want queer stories and characters, but when they're presented with actual queer sex and desire, the pearl clutching begins. I know this isn't true of all fandoms, but it's a pattern I've noticed over the last few years.

12. What is your favorite crack ship? Lalo/Howard from Better Call Saul.

13. What is the couple you read the most fanfics about? Probably McKirk from AOS Star Trek. I haven't read any for years, but there was a period about 10/11 years ago where I couldn't get enough of them. Stucky from the MCU is probably a close second...and most of that came in the form of fix-it fics after Endgame 😂

14. What do most of your ships usually have in common? Always carrying unresolved trauma, they're usually criminals, often violent/have killed people, always morally grey and they have a shared history with each other that goes back further than canon shows us.

15. What you absolutely hate in a ship? I can't stand love triangles where one party has to pick between two others when the obvious answer is either a) both or b) neither. Not a fan of big age gap relationships (unless they're non-humans and are hundreds/thousands of years old). Or when character A gives up everything for character B, but character B doesn't have to make an equivalent sacrifice (they need to be burning down the world for each other tbh, otherwise what's the point?). Or when the ship is presented as 'forbidden love' but there aren't actually any major obstacles in their way and it's mostly a lot of unnecessary melodrama. Love at first sight doesn't do anything for me either. Lust/obsession? Hell yeah. But I need more slowburn/history before the L word is thrown around.

No pressure tagging: @mariamariquinha, @thoroughlymodernminutia, @ejunkiet, @evilbunnyking and anyone else who wants to answer these!

[josiebelladonna]

thinking about that previous post I reblogged earlier, how people are so toxic when in the frame of fandom, and thinking about the erotic drawings i did mainly of alex last year and a couple this year (i did some of eric and jeff, and then there was my art nouveau challenge last October, which were more sensual than sexual). as insecure as i am, as unsure and confused as i am, as broken as i feel, with all the bad, tormented, excruciating feelings i have towards my sexuality, doing those drawings made me feel good. probably because i didn’t see those men as musicians but just as men, flesh and blood. i remember drawing alex in the nude the first time and my face flushed so much. my face flushed and things were moving downstairs as i drew his shoulder length hair and his round belly.

i don’t claim to be a sexual being or a sexy person, but i could feel myself getting close to that.

the way i approach sexuality is just that: it’s slow and deliberate and overflowing with emotions. it’s layered and dense. it’s like crawling into bed under a flannel blanket and feeling a silky pit in your stomach as you think of your crush as you fall asleep. i think that’s why i hate it so much because everything around me is too sexual and there’s not enough sensuality or tenderness or even variety. everything is raunchy without it being sweet or soft or childlike even or like it’s coming from somewhere inside of me. no, i have to give that horse shit up and write about missionary all day. i just feel like i’m not doing it right. i’m not measuring up. i’m not good enough. i’m out here writing 3k+ words for a kinktober one shot and getting very little in return, but those little shits in the bandom tags on here doing 500 words of second-person bullshit written in a way that feels so creepy and so exploitative (and since it’s second person, it feels really weird to read) get everything. and that is very gross to me.

i’m trying to bridge the gap here but toxic fandom has to do with it. toxic fandom, making me feel gross for seeing alex as gorgeous or sexy. making me feel worthless or that i’m a bad person because he gives me butterflies. making me feel ugly and weird for my feelings and my imagination—but you know, the one girl who i wouldn’t touch with a 10 foot pole in person who writes boring completely unsexy fic gets called the vixen and the hot girl. how fucking dare i even think of drawing him naked, no, i don’t deserve it and he doesn’t deserve it. i’m a pervert for wanting to curl up next to his naked cartoon body like a big teddy bear. i extend this to now it’s dark, too, the satanic verses of the bandfic world at this point even though joey himself actually loved it.

but. you know. feel free to write unhinged posts about how you wish to trip a famous guy and graphically break his teeth “out of love”. feel free to write fanfic that feels like fanfic and was written out of a desire for reads rather than because you wanted to tell a story. feel free to gatekeep me because i’m a poor kid from the west coast who can’t get merch anywhere because it’s expensive, i can’t possibly be a real fan. lock me up in a mental institution and throw away the key.

fandom is unbelievably toxic, and is towards someone like me especially. it’s toxic not just to the idols but to the people who make fandom fandom in the first place. toxic fandom has made me uncomfortable and nervous and paranoid and even suicidal. drawing alex and eric in the buff has given me more peace than any of you motherfuckers ever could. it’s exhausting to be a fan, but it’s peaceful to have it to myself and a couple of friends.

20 Questions for Fic Writers

Thank you for the tag @wroteclassicaly somehow I missed this I’m sorry!

1) How many works do you have on AO3? 3, because I do everything off of my phone and I cannot get the damn format to work so the lovely Jo is helping me upload.

2) What's your total AO3 word count? Roughly 40k. I don’t write long stuff I guess.

3) What fandoms do you write for? Stranger Things. I used to have a bunch of MCR bandfic on a livejournal and some HP stuff on fanfiction . net but you’ll never see any of those because I’m sure they’re nuked off the planet now.

4) What are your top five fics by kudos? I’ve only got the three, so.

5) Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? I need to get back in the swing of that, but for AO3 specifically I haven’t responded yet but the intention is there so don’t yell at me.

6) What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Sleepovers in the Forest 😀🔫

7) What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? I don’t actually have any finished multi chapter fics unfortunately so really any of the things I’ve written because I like a happy ending.

8) Do you get hate on fics? I have but I don’t post those asks because I don’t feel like entertaining troglodytes.

9) Do you write smut? If so, what kinds? It’s my bread and butter actually. I’ll write most anything but I like the gross stuff.

10) Do you wrote crossovers? If so, what's the craziest one you've written? I love a good AU but I uh god damn I hate crossovers.

11) Have you ever had a fic stolen? Don’t think so.

12) Have you ever had a fic translated? Nope!

13) Have you ever co-written a fic before? No but @dr-aculaaa @fracturedarkness @jo-harrington @pastel-pillows have all helped me in multiple ways with my Gator Tillman series so. Kind of!

14) What's your all time favorite ship? You’re asking me this and I’ve forgotten every piece of media I’ve ever seen.

15) What's a WIP that you want to finish, but doubt you ever will? If I said my river monster Eddie I would be lying a little and also I would be killed so…probably the Eddie-Steve-Reader triangle where they’re all trying to hit on Karen Wheeler and it’s narrated through Mike and Dustin’s eyes. It’s really good in my head tho.

16) What are your writing strengths? Dialogue.

17) What are your writing weaknesses? I AM THE COMMA QUEEN. Also I’m a terrible speller. Grammar in general. I’m not real good with technical things, I write how I speak unfortunately.

18) Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? I think if it serves a purpose sure. I’d be leaving footnotes everywhere for translations.

19) First fandom you wrote for? Harry Potter.

20) Favorite fic you've written? Pure Academia and Shared Inflicted Pain. I’m immensely proud of those and also I just really love going back and reading them. I was on some good shit there, don’t know where that went.

…i wanna change that

………but that’s scary

[lynxindisguise]

HI LYNX I need to know more about “bandfic but make it woodsy sadboys” PLEASE because this is just the best title ❤️❤️❤️

HI KD! hahaha so "bandfic but make it woodsy sadboys" is where remus and sirius are both popular indie folk singers who are definitely not at all inspired by real people... in the reality of the multiverse fic, they've performed together and have hooked up in the past, but it's never been more than that... until our universe-hopping sirius shows up at remus's doorstep in the middle of the night.

Fic Origin Story

Many thanks for the tag @mostlyinthemorning ♥

What was your first fandom (reading and/or writing)? I’m not exactly sure how to classify my fandom experience. (Way back) in the beginning it was a very solo thing. Peeking through geocities and angelfire sites, reading bandfic (nsync) but that lacked the community feel of fandom. I definitely met people I still call friends to this day but say, when I started reading and writing Twilight fic, that felt more like fandom.

What was the first story you ever wrote (even if it was never posted) and what made you decide to write it? A ridiculous story about a Canadian singer-songwriter and a boyband member. LOL. I can’t even begin to describe it but to my 14 year-old self, I’m sure it was just a nice fantasy to escape into and a way to be creative. As silly as it probably was, I can remember how proud I was of the words on the page and that’s something.

What’s a piece of advice you would give to your younger fic-writing self? Don’t be so nervous to ask for help from your fellow writers. You all sort of feel the exact same way.

What’s an early fandom interaction that stuck with you (be it a nice comment, a friend you made, a fic that got a lot of feedback etc.)? An author I really liked and respected took the time to read my stuff and helped me along with my first ever publicly posted fic. That she took the time to read and be excited for my words went a long way to set me on the path I’m still on today. And I mean, the nice comments… if I could print them all and just keep them in a little book next to my heart I would.

Post a sentence or two from one of your older fics, and a sentence or two from a newer one (if you want). Oh dear… perhaps some Jasper x Edward fic circa 2011? And yes, first person and no, no need to link it for anyone. lol.

Rosalie snapped another picture and said, "There he is, wave." She pointed to the sidelines and my hand raised without my permission. I’d spotted Edward looking up at us with what looked like a wide grin from under his helmet. He raised his stick in salute and jogged back out onto the field.

"You can put your hand down now, Jasper," Rosalie whispered through a giggle and I wanted to die. I dropped my hand quickly and sat on it.

"You're such an asshole," I whispered through clenched teeth at Rosalie who was smiling and clicking away.

And from something much more recent There’s No Turning Back I love writing those almost-but-not-quite-there-yet moments. I think this is one of them.

When the song ends, Twyla passes on the guitar to Ted and they start on something new, quieter but David can’t focus on it. Not when all his focus is on the single finger drawing a line down his throat. He swallows and looks back up. Patrick is focused on the line he’s tracing. He does it two or three more times before his hand comes to a rest, cupping his neck. He catches David’s eyes.

“Now that I know you can sing, you need to actually participate next week,” Patrick says quietly, lost in their own bubble. David turns his head into Patrick's stomach and mumbles the words.

“Maybe you’ve finally convinced me.”

Ok so hi. I wasn't going to send an Ask about this because it's RIDICULOUS and you're the only Tumblr person I'm even a little acquainted with that likes Marianas Trench. Everything about this is ridiculous but I've gotta try.

So uh recently when I was bored I went on wattpad and just kind of ironically read bandfics, and I had a stroke of genius and looked up Marianas Trench. I've noticed this really weird pattern while reading though. 3 times now in 3 seemingly unrelated fanfictions (as far as I can tell) there has been this woman named Darla who has always been a villain. I can't expect you know everything about this band but I was wondering if you knew if there was some person tied to the band with the name?? This is so silly but I gotta know and I have no clue how to look, and didn't know if I just haven't been a fan long enough to know or if this is really one extremely strange coincidence.

Sorry for this, I just had to know if somebody else knew. It just struck me as weird that 3 different times I saw this person in a story.

If you don't know, feel free to delete this or whatever, I know this is probably weirdly out of the blue and whatnot. I just had to know if I wasn't going crazy or something (which, to be fair, I was probably crazy by looking up the band on Wattpad but I was painfully bored and wanted to see if I could find anything that would save me from it. It only served to make me confused)

Hey man no need to apologise!! I've seen you reblog some of my MT posts and I get super excited every time, you leave such nice comments in the tags it makes my day so much brighter every time I see it <3

Since it's MT related, I think the Darla these fics are referring to is Darla Taylor, the actress who plays Carolina in the Ever After music videos!! Since she plays Carolina (and, according to Josh, took up method acting for the videos), I would assume people would make her the villain of their stories

(As someone who doesn't read bandfic I'll admit it felt like whiplash to hear that people were writing her as a villain considering she only played a specific character for one album, and then I remember that bandfic isn't meant to be that realistic ehfiuserhg)

I hope this helps!!
