1 for questions for fic writers!

What fic of yours would you recommend to someone who has never read any of your work? (In other words, what do you think is the best introduction to your fics?)

Ooh, this is a tough one. Of all the questions, you sent this one! 😂 (I kid, of course; I am happy to see you in my inbox again, thank you for the ask!!)

I want to say Committed to the Cause because it is my pride and joy, it is for my #1 “I keep returning to this fandom please help me” ship, and it is a shining example of what and how I like to write. One tiiiny problem: it is not published yet, so you can’t actually read it. Alternatively, Of Graves, Of Worms, and Epitaphs is another WIP I have poured my heart and soul into; it shares CttC’s exemplariness of my style/taste but shows a different side because CttC is a total AU for Philinda (from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) while G/W/E is a S8 fix-it for GSR (from CSI; I wanted to include it for you, Mouse <3) (…sorry if you don’t ship GSR hwjfhdsjg). One tiiiny problem—can you guess what it is? xD

Not a Servant’s Dream is another AU but Addams Family meets Jane Eyre. It’s a good starting point because it’s fun, wholesome, and not too niche for the general fandom public but still makes clear my whumpy inclinations and my writing idiosyncrasies. However, it is also, uh…not published ksfhrjshgsj.

I would say my Mediatorverse is a practical introduction to my fics because the reader a) can choose from multiple fandoms to start with and b) will immediately see how self-indulgent my writing gets and how feral I am about my comfort characters, so if that ain’t their thing, they can dip early on. But of course: it is not published. :))

Basically, I tend to keep my projects close to my chest until they’re absolutely ready for the world. 😅

However, that would make for a rather unfruitful answer, so I present to you:

Never Lack, a SkippyPants one-shot, with a sequel in the works but uhh don’t hold your breath;

Nature’s Impossibilities, an MSR one-shot that I wrote for @/xfilesfanficexchange; and

Inextricably, a Lizzington one-shot, though this may be a controversial ship, w e l p.

All of these well demonstrate my wheelhouse, I’d say. Inextricably is likely the best demonstration of it, but it’s also likely the most Sus due to Lizzington lol and to some mature themes (it’s arguably the darkest of my AO3 fics, though not at all from everything I’ve written, including CttC and G/W/E). Nature’s Impossibilities shows what I can do when prompted (ily hyper-specific prompts, ily fic exchanges, ily fandom events), while Never Lack shows what I can do when completely unprompted (à la “the fic nobody asked for”). They’re both sorta conversation-heavy character study (not exactly meta character study, more like “Character B gets to ‘study’ Character A” kinda) type fics, so they’re on pretty equal footing as entries into my wheelhouse.

And I’d like to add A Galling Yoke merely for the virtue of being a multichap. It’s not quite finished yet but it’s the closest I’ve ever gotten (other than with one-shots). It’s got whump, it’s got angst, it’s got casefic, it’s got plot/world weaving (just a term I use in my head for a part of my process, idrk how to explain it though rip), it’s got lovey-dovey stuff, so lots of my trademarks. However, since it doesn’t have as many of the “magnifying glass” hijinks as I like to get into with my fic writing, I’d hesitate to call it the best introduction to Me.

Gracious, this was a long, low-key incomprehensible answer. Very sorry! In short: for a launchpad into my brand of fanfiction, I would recommend my fic Inextricably if you can stomach it, and if not, two fics would work, either Nature’s Impossibilities (this option for more weightiness/poetry/whatever) or Never Lack (this option for more random blorbo mania).

Heard So Hot You're Hurting My Feelings by Caroline Polachek and I remembered your fic Cut to the Chase and headed right on over to read it and it was the best decision I made all week. Love this fic and your words. Thanks for sharing them with us! Gonna sleep so good now!

Thank you! 💜

I always think of CttC Lexa when I hear that song.

[femininenachos]

Diff anon but wanted to share that So Hot You're Hurting My Feelings by Caroline Polachek makes me think of Cut to the Chase. I just re read it recently and you should rest easy knowing that your fics hit every time. Just real good stuff Nachos.

Thank you and YES! That song was actually at the forefront of my mind while I was writing.

[femininenachos]

I was in the middle of my re-read of cut to the chase ***PRIDE MONTH*** when you dropped the new chapter of vacation AU... SUFFICE TO SAY MY CLEXA HEART IS HAPPY

Thank you! And I’m so delighted Cut to the Chase warranted a Pride Month reread 🏳️‍🌈

[femininenachos]

Thank you for the vacation AU update! Clarke being so straightforward er. Gayforward reminded me of DWBYG Clarke 😂 her thirst for lexa is unreal.

Vacation Clarke is sharing space in horny jail with DWBYG Clarke. GSTYM Clarke and CttC Clarke are in the same cell block also.

There’s no AU in which her thirst isn’t off the charts tbh 😂

[femininenachos]

just read the recent update of clexa wild west au why does it feel like clarke will attempt something again that will completely make lexa go feral... also is there a reason why you pinned cut to the chase hmmmm

Interesting theory…

But, honestly, there’s nothing to read into about Cut to the Chase being pinned. I have no plans to do a continuation (although that AU does live rent free in my head). I was going to put together a pinned masterpost of my fics and the tags for the extras/headcanons/playlists for ease of finding all that stuff, but I’m lazy and haven’t gotten around to it yet, so CttC remains pinned only for that reason 😄

[femininenachos]

Hey just wanted to pop in and show my love for hairstylist/actress clexa fic

Thank you! I’m working on the next part. :)

[femininenachos]

When I get into bed and all settled in for the evening tonight I'm going to finish ch 2 of CTTC. The first chapter I reread and fuck was it hot. The part when Clarke is paying for her new do and Lexa gets a look at Clarke's rack. Hot hot hot. Have you planned out how many chapters? Thank you from the bottom of my lesbian heart.

Thank you, I hope you like chapter 2!

I have loose plans for two more chapters, because I honestly never tire of writing about Clexa thirsting over each other haha.

[femininenachos]

Damn Nachos, you are doing an amazing job helping us during the quarantine. Thank you so much for the update. It was everything. I hope Lexa gets around to finding that strap 🥵

Oh, she will...

Thank you :D

[femininenachos]

You should definitely write a pilot for the show from Cut to the Chase that Clarke is in. I would totally watch a show like that.

I would watch it too! But screenwriting is a whole other skill, haha. I do plan to weave in some bits from set life and the show in the next chapter so that’ll hopefully give a little flavour of it. :)

[femininenachos]

Just read the first two chapters of CTTC and WOW you're a truly incredible writer. Love your work (especially when it turns smutty).

Thank you!

[femininenachos]

For model au I think it'd be fun for Lexa going blonde. The attraction and ego on both

In her career she has definitely switched up the colour a few times (even had a short-lived redhead era). Imagine Lexa gliding into the loft one afternoon, all honey-blonde beachy waves, and Clarke is like 😯🥵💀 expiring on the spot.

Cut to the chase

(8,226 words - Mature)

She was told this particular stylist is heavily in-demand, booked solidly for months in advance, but all she had to do was name-drop Indra and the salon would magically find the time to squeeze her in.

Or:

Lexa is a hair stylist and Clarke gets turned on at the salon.

It doesn't get any deeper than that.
