Coming this Clextober to AO3... Witch's Chimney!!

Now on AO3

Hey girl! Found you on tumblr! (I have the same icon on AO3 😋)

Just wanna say how much I love reading "Is It Over Now?". It's the first story I go to when I finally get in the reading mood!! ❤

I'm trying to avoid looking too much at your page rn cuz I haven't caught up and I don't want spoilers. 😆

You're a writing fiend! How do you keep your 'writer's block' at bay?

Thanks girl! 🫶🏼 I do recognize the icon😉

and the BIGGEST thing that keeps my writers block at bay is the fact that I have a creative collaborator for this story, @darkomen-carey (🙌🏼🤍🫶🏼🫠🥰)who I can always reach out to and tell her the scene I’m stuck on and why and then talk thru it together. Usually it’s because I’m struggling with conveying the proper emotions or HOW to bridge a scene into what’s coming next / how to setup other characters/their mindsets/etc. (and more often than not the solution is her giving me a virtual BONK over the head telling me I’m waaayyyy overthinking or over complicating whatever it is for no reason😭)

Having someone able to talk through things and give feedback or ask questions that help me formulate better visions in my mind is not only helpful but WAY more fun and enjoyable than struggling alone racking my brain for the right “thing/ dialogue/ scene” I can’t figure out.

**PERFECT example: I’ve struggled with writing a lot of Clarke POVs this deep into the story because it’s HARD for me to justify her mindset, how she can be SO OBTUSE and blinded to Lexa’s struggle and true feelings. (I don’t think you’re quite at this chapter yet or maybe you just passed it, the struggle/writers block hit hard writing Clarke’s bath tub spiral following the vegas trip/mall encounter) But @darkomen-carey relates to her better than I do and helps tell me what sort of things would likely be going through Clarke’s mind to drive her actions… and even threw together a quick visual for me (posting it below👇🏻) to help remind me of “how it all looked to Clarke” leading up to their breakup…. what triggered her paranoia spiral and this new lens she started seeing Lexa through that she’s not been able to really switch off since…..that really helped me settle into Clarke’s mind better to write her scenes.

She also sends random images/edits that either apply to later parts we’ve already discussed, therefore helping establish that scene/visual better for me once I get there, or inspires a new scene entirely bc I want to include those image somehow.

honestly my little celebrity idiots consume my thoughts and attention at ALL TIMES (to the detriment of most everything in my real life) so it’s just a constant loop of scenes and dialogues playing out, so whenever I do finally have time to sit down and write I’m never wondering WHAT happens next but more which scenes am I plucking out in what order… how to bridge them together the right way… what planned arcs/scenes maybe don’t make sense without adding on a bunch of other chapters haha

Tagged by @spybrarian! Thaaaank you!

1. How many works do you have on Ao3? 

I have 26

2. What’s your total Ao3 word count? 

338,736

3. What fandoms do you write for?

I used to write Clexa, but now I just write Tanthamore

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

Network Connectivity Issues (ahead by a lot)

A story I'm deeply in love with writing, due to its closeness to my heart and because of the novel way it's written-- which is live on a discord server whenever the mood strikes. Fanfic is typically serialized work, but this feels like...even closer to that immediacy, and it can be quite electric.

The Pieces

A collaborative collection of one shots in the Kinkverse universe (talked about below)

The Bite

Canon compliant fic about longing and how it can come out in your teeth.

The Stones

Essentially a sick fic with some fun world building

The Test

Long distance edging and denial. The fantasies were some of my favorite things to write.

5. Do you respond to comments?

I try to! Sometimes it takes me awhile!

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? 

Out of finished fics I suppose it would be The Beloved Prey, though I do have a handful of things I've written to continue that.

Unfinished it would be the unpublished sequel to My Own Echo.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? 

I think maybe The Stones. Magic holding and accepting Jade because of Kit's love for her feels pretty happy.

Oh! And Network Connection Secure. The Cam girls having a proposal moment that's distinctly them? Very sweet and I wrote it for Christmas.

8. Do you get hate on fics? 

Not on these ones!

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? 

Yes, yes I do. The majority of my work contains it. I think the weirdest I've written (so far) is probably Spare the Rod.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

I'm not really big on crossovers, so this isn't something I've done. I'll go hard on an AU though.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Nah.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? 

Nope! Translation is an art in itself-- I think I'd find the idea of someone doing that a little daunting?

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? 

Kinda! @swashbucklery, @spybrarian, @commanderbuffy and I have all written pieces in what we call the Kinkverse. It was a brain child of mine that started with The Lesson, but has since become a collaborative writing world. It's been one of the most lovely experiences of my creative life. J has also written some supplemental material for NCI that I adore. @barmaid-anon and I brainstorm deranged plot ideas constantly, and she is my best/worst little gay graphic critic.

14. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

I'm going to need to say Tanthamore.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? 

I'm not going to speak this into existence. I'll say that there are a few fics that I have agonized over for a very, very, very, very, very long time.

16. What are your writing strengths? 

I think I get to the point pretty well. I keep action and development moving. I think I do some good figurative language. I trust my instincts on where a story needs to go next.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

The Agonies. The connective tissue between important scenes. Not knowing what to have characters do when they're on their own. Run on sentences. Too many WIPs and not enough commitment.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? 

I haven't ever found it necessary? I guess I feel about it the way I feel about captions for another language. You know when captions will say "speaks in a foreign language?" Bane of my existence. Either translate it or get out of here.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Pretty Little Liars. I was a big Paily fan for awhile there. Those live back on fanfiction.net

20. Favourite fic you’ve written? 

The Past feels really good to write because it pulls together all these threads in my brain for the Kinkverse girls, and it feels very unifying for that vision. It's satisfying connecting the dots.

As for who to tag on this: @barmaid-anon, @commanderbuffy, @swashbucklery, @multiplefandommess, @vetiverriver, @onlyshestandsthere, @claymoressword, @kittanthaloselorashield

[raccoonhearteyes]

So... back in the day, there was a clexa writers discord/slack where we hung out and talked shop, and collaborated.. I dont know if that still exists or where it is as I've been gone for quite awhile, but I have the itch to write a story and I'm trying to find a clexa writer who wants to co-create something.

Can you post this for me please 🙏

If anyone is interested inbox me!

Friends!

20 questions for fic writers

Tagged by @mr-jaybird. Anyone who hasn't done it please feel free!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

Looks like 21!

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

127,076

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Horizon!

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

That's what sisters are for (gen), Letting the days go by (gen), Forge Fire (aloy x petra), Make me feel molten (aloy x petra), By the Love of the Ancestors (aloy x alva)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I try to! But sometimes I get overwhelmed and intimidated and then I don't. But I love and appreciate every comment I receive.

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Either The hint of these new tears are sharp (I try to choke them back), which is a very porny take on a Horizon Bad Ending™️, or maybe To Feel Something. I guess anything I write with Tilda.

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

I'm not sure I have a great answer for this. Maybe Letting the days go by, for the catharsis?

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Not yet, thankfully.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I write girls fuckin' 😎

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

No, though I did do a rewrite of the first episode of Leverage with characters from the 100 as the cast.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of!

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

@mr-jaybird, @artistxforever04 and I collaborated on An Appreciation for the Arts.

14. What's your all-time favourite ship?

Honestly not sure I have one? Clexa fucked me way up and after, well, you know, I could only read modern AU of them. I do love shipping Aloy with every cute girl that walks on screen in Horizon.

15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

I have a Horizon "no-Faro Plague modern Parent Trap AU" fic planned pretty thoroughly out but I'm not sure I'll ever write it because it would be long and that intimidates the hell out of me.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I like to think I'm pretty good at nailing most characters' voices.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Imagery 😬

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I'd need to confidently know another language in order to do it.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Either the Enchanted Forest Chronicles or ReBoot, according to my old ff.n account.

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

By the Love of the Ancestors! Just really love how it developed.

New Clexa Project!

If there are any Clexa fans (or any of my mutuals or followers!) out there who are website-building savvy and would like to collaborate on a project I’m working on, DM me!  

[clexaprideweek]

Here they are!! The themes for Clexa Pride Week 2020!!

I decided to change things up a little bit this year. Instead of choosing one theme per day, I went with two. There were multiple reasons I decided to do this, first it was because I thought it’d be fun, second because people were going in voting a dozen or more times in a row for one theme (literally in the span of an hour, one theme went from 4 votes to 31...), among other reasons.

So, writers (and artists, creators, whoever wants to participate) here’s what you do. You take a look at the categories for a given day and you decide if you want to do one or if you want to challenge yourself a bit and combine the two. I tried to take one theme that was popular and one that didn’t have someone voting for it over and over again, and combined them for a given day.

Who doesn’t like a little challenge??

Day 1: (June 21) – Artist and Creators Collaboration/Inspiration This is where artist and other creators inspire us with their work! Writers pick a piece and write something that fits it.

Day 2: (June 22) – Royalty/First Pride Is Lexa the queen of some remote country? Is Clarke finally going to attend her first Pride? Or maybe, one of them is a princess and convinces her parents to throw the first Pride in their little country?

Day 3: (June 23) – Sports/I May Have Told (blank) We’re Dating Sports AUs are some of my favorites so I was not mad that this one was popular this year!! One of them is an athlete, the other a doctor/marketing specialist/brand rep. They could be neighbors who rarely speak until one of them lies to their friends about dating the other.

Day 4: (June 24) –Popular/Nerd & Teacher/Professor Who doesn’t dig the popular/nerd trope? Who? They’re in school, or at work, one is beloved and the other is overlooked. Maybe, they’re teachers or professors, maybe they teach the same subject and they’re rivals for publication.

Day 5: (June 25) – Soulmates/Kiss Cam And they were soulmates! I’m pretty sure any of the typical soulmate ideas could fit in with a Kiss Cam scenario. But it’s a fun little twist right?

Day 6: (June 26) – Military/Zombies One of them is a fighter pilot or a tank mechanic. One of them could be in the National Guard. They could meet the love of their life while on leave and have a constant countdown running in their head for when their plane takes off. And zombies! One could be a former infantryman or a medic. Really, the possibilities are endless here.

Day 7: (June 27) – Free Day Pick a theme or trope you don’t see on the list but love. Or send an anon and I’ll think of something for you!!

[burninghoneyatdusk]

It's inevitable that someone will be disappointed: Becho, Murphamy, Muraven, Clexa, Memori....Bellarkes. If things don't turn out the way I had hoped, Bellarke!endgame, it still at it's core shouldn't take away from how well the actors did their jobs or the writers did there....I still appriciate everyone that contributed to these characters, especially the Fanfic writers who might write a little closer to my head canon then JRoth produced.If I find disappointment in 7x16 at least we had 5x13??

Yes, I love to see this positivity! 🙌🏻

At the end of the day, things will never go exactly how we envision them in a television show. And of course there are certain possible endings that I will personally be disappointed in, but there’s a difference between having feelings about it, but accepting it vs. falsely believing you were entitled to something else. We’re consumers, not creators or collaborators, for this show and that’s just how it is.

But I agree - I’ll have no regrets regardless. This fandom has allowed me to meet awesome people, introduced me to fanfic and inspired me to write it, and all in all, imperfect or not, I’ve loved this story they’ve told us. I think the 100 is a really unique show with awesome actors and it’s been a fun ride. 💙

[clexa--warrior]

@wolfjillyjill Clarke studied the composition of pink and tan that filled the screen on her laptop. This sensual spots on Lexa’s body were of her neck, shoulders, eyes and of course lips. But the one spot, just inside of her wrist was a weakness of hers.

Many a time that same wrist, connect to that hand, whose fingers would be buried deep inside of her, flexed and the veins pulsed as she brought once more to a blissful escape into her orgasm.

[dontcha-wanheda]

Sorry for being a little MIA for a while! But what better reason to get back into the swing of things than CLEXA!!!! Happy ClexaPrideWeek Everyone! 

Here is a little Clexa & Gentleman Jack mash up I did. I teamed up with @eris223​ and here is her fanfiction!  

Momento Mori by eris223

Miss Alexandra Woods has been away from Shibden Hall for a decade, traveling the continent and distancing herself from her family when word of a potential crisis lures her back to her shabby little home.

Timid and demure Miss Clarke Griffin never dared to hope she’d see her again, but a twist of fate and a dangerous accident sends her careening towards the woman she’s harbored affections for since she was young.

Things are never as simple as they appear, and Clarke and Lexa must face the true nature of their very beings before dark deeds threaten to keep them apart.

[clexa--warrior]

The thrumming of Lexa's fingers flew through a rift. Her head pulled back, and her fingers finding each note, sending tones that cascade over the crowd, counting off the beats. Her eyes traveled to the edge of the stage. Finding satisfaction, watching a pretty blonde omega getting lost in her music, dancing just below her. The blonde looks up, she caught Lexa's eyes staring, and so she winks. She's a wild one. Lexa thought as she covered her groan into her vocals. Her clit pulses in that instant, she extended and grew hard. @wolfjillyjill

Dreams of a Fallen Star

The Ark is failing and the Council is desperate to keep control of the last of humanity. In a desperate bid to keep lead engineer Jake Griffin in control, the Council elects to send three of their citizens to Earth in an effort to determine survivability. One of those citizens happens to be Jake's only child, Clarke.

Joined by young mechanic Raven Reyes and the girl who was never meant to be born, Octavia Blake, Clarke is sent to Earth with instructions to survive and make contact with the Ark so her parents and everyone else can follow her down to the ground. When the landing goes wrong and the three young girls discover that all of their beliefs about Earth were wrong, their plan is thrown into chaos.

With the shadow of the mountain looming over the woods and whispers of Azgeda spies lingering in the trees, it will take the collaboration of Clarke, Octavia, Raven, and Heda Lexa, as well as the rest of the grounders, to ensure that when fire falls from the sky again, it will not be the fires of war.

Or

I caved and started a Clexa fanfic in the year of our lord 2020
