God of Fic, praised be, I've finally finished that famous Evelyn and Sixth Doctor fic that I've been writing before bed since December XD

I hope you'll like it, it's been a comfort fic for me <3 And if you know me, you know that's a bit sweet, a bit melancholic, a bit angsty, and a bit silly

I'm making it my personal quest to make sure there are more Six and Evelyn fics on ao3

[lurking-latinist]

For the writing ask game: 10, 18, 30 :D

Thank you!!

10. Top three favourite fic tropes.

Just off the top of my head, don't hold me to this: time loops, domesticity, and survival situations

18. First, second, or third person?

As a writer I default to third person and I've generally stuck to it, but I'll read anything! I've really enjoyed your second person fics, dyonisia :) and the other day I was working on bits of a fic about the Rani in my head (no idea if it'll ever see the light of day or turn into something else entirely) and I realized I was doing it in first person. What it says about me that I can't get into anyone's voice but the Rani's, I don't want to know.

But I do tend to write in a very restricted third person, I do tend to be 'inside' somebody's head and use free indirect discourse, etc. When I catch myself head-hopping I know it's time to break the scene.

30. A fic that almost happened, but then it didn't.

Well I never give up! But my very first fanfic was one about All The Doctors finding themselves mysteriously relocated to an abandoned house one by one. (Oh look, domesticity and survival situations!) I got a couple chapters into the draft and then found I had far, far too many characters--or rather of the same character--for my abilities at the time, or possibly for the human attention span. So I wrote 2000 words about Six and Mel's mundane first meeting instead, and the rest is, well, not history, but is my AO3 profile.

critical flirting - rated t

Fandom: DCTV Characters: Alex Danvers, Sam Arias, Lena Luthor, Sara Lance, Lucy Lane Summary: a universe where my favorite ladies get together once a week to play D&D A/N: so in case y’all didn’t know i’m a big dungeons and dragons fan coughfrommycr2ficcough but i was struck with a bit of inspiration to write this ficlet thing - which turned out completely different from how it was supposed to go because i didn’t even get to the gameplay with the ladies in character but nevertheless it was enjoyable to write (ps this has a lot of flirting but i also wanted to make it kind of ace-friendly because i also love party dynamics) ENJOY!

------------

“Guys, you have no idea how much I’ve needed this,” Lucy groans as she pulls her messenger bag off.

“You just want to flirt with our characters,” Sam chimes in, already sitting down but pulling her dice tray out and picking her dice. “Let me correct myself, you wanna flirt with us.”

“Can I help it that Dyna is so charismatic?” Lucy deflects pulling out her binder.

Alex chuckles. “I thought being stuck in a bunker with a bunch of muscly men was your jam, Lane.”

“I also love being stuck in a room with 4 beautiful women,” Lucy comments, blowing a kiss to Alex and kissing the top of Sam’s head before taking her seat next to her.

“Where do you end and Dyonisia begin?” Sam narrows her eyes playfully at Lucy with a roll of three dice.

Lucy winks before pulling out her own dice. “Where are Lena and Sara?”

“Late as usual,” Alex notes putting up her screen and pulling out her own binder and handbooks. “But I told them to be here 30 minutes earlier, so they should be here soon.” She rubs her palms together in anticipation as she opens up her notebook.

“Hey, ladies,” Sara greets climbing in from the fire escape with her backpack and a six pack of beer. “Room for one more?”

It startles the fuck out of Sam and she yelps at Sara’s sudden appearance. “Can you not give me a heart attack?!”

Sara laughs, blowing a kiss towards Sam and Lucy (who returns it) and kissing the top of Alex’s head. She rounds the small table to take her seat across from Sam. “I hope it’s alright I parked the jumpship on your roof again.”

Alex facepalms instantly. “Why do you do this to me?”

“Because you’re our mom friend,” Sara points out. She pulls out her notebook and a single set of dice before cracking open a beer.

“Ew, don’t say that, you all flirt with me,” Alex cringes.

Sara chuckles, reaching over to caress Alex’s face. Alex slaps it away.

“You call me the flirt,” Lucy comments beside Sam.

Sam rolls her eyes. “You are all flirts.”

“Don’t think you’re innocent,” Lena says at the doorway of the room with a duffle bag, still dressed for work.

Lucy hops out of her seat with a laugh before walking by Lena, planting a loud kiss on her cheek. “Hey hottie,” she greets.

“Hey babe,” Lena greets just as flirtatiously in return. Lucy walks by slapping her ass and by reflex Lena does the same with a laugh.

“Did you replenish your fridge, Alex?!” Lucy yells from the kitchen.

“Yeah! You’ll see all the stuff!” Alex yells in return.

“We should tell your sister what we’re doing by the way,” Lena says leaving the room.

“Why?” Alex asks in alarm.

"Because she’s getting suspicious,” Lena answers leaving the room. The sound of her duffle bag unzipping follows and a light pat of her clothes hitting the floor. Lucy catcalls at Lena instantly. “Hard to explain why I have a copy of your keys.”

“I’m hurt, I don’t have keys to your place,” Sara notes, already finishing a beer.

“What a player,” Sam teases.

Alex blushes and rolls her eyes. “You can break into my apartment anytime. They have keys because they are here all the time anyway,” she defends and adds loudly, “and you leave your clothes here!”

Lucy reenters the room with a bowl of chips and strawberries and a pitcher of water to deposit in the center of the table.

Lena trails in after Lucy with her padfolio, a leather tube of dice, and pencil bag. “Hey, at least I clean up after myself, unlike Major Lane.” She kisses Sara on the head before taking the seat next to her and she blows kisses to Sam and Alex.

Lucy sticks her tongue out. “I’m waiting to see how long until Alex gives me my own drawer,” she throws a wink over her shoulders as she leaves the room again.

“Stop trying to move in!” Alex yells in frustration.

“If she moves in, I think we should find a bigger place,” Sam chimes in, sounding weirdly reasonable.

Sara looks at all of them in confusion. “Are you guys dating?” she asks pointedly, looking around the room. “Because I’m pretty sure I time jumped only about a week since our last session.”

Alex’s eyes widen. “What? Why would you think we’re dating?”

"Hey, I was just saying Alex’s place is way too small for two people,” Sam clarifies even though her cheeks are also pink. “We need a bigger place to host our sessions if there’s going to be roommates.”

Lucy reenters the room with glasses for everyone. “Don’t worry, we are all dating each other, you aren’t left out of this Sara,” she announces taking her seat.

“Jesus,” Alex grumbles rubbing her forehead because of Lucy.

“Huh, I can get behind that,” Sara agrees with a cheeky smile, cracking open another beer.

“I have to admit this would be one of my most stable relationships,” Lena adds setting up her leather dice tray.

“I think this would be way too hard to explain to Ruby,” Sam surprisingly says, not dismissing the idea completely. She looks down at the dice she rolled, unsatisfied she grabs some more from her bag.

“Come on, we hang out because we’re a good party together,” Alex argues, bordering a small whine. “I just wanna play some Dungeons and Dragons with my girl friends.” Everyone erupts into cheers at girlfriends, clinking glasses and Alex just shrinks in her seat with a massive blush.

Lucy notices first and slows her laughs. “Alright, ladies, let’s not tease our DM too hard, she’ll try to kill us in game.” Alex looks at Lucy thankfully even though she kind of brought it up to begin with. Lucy winks at her from behind the glass she’s drinking.

A couple of days ago I doodled the villain from a fic I wrote a while ago, Stories Can Kill XD I still think about them sometimes! The Librarian was fun to write :]

[dyonisia96]

I did it!!! :D

Enjoy Seven and Romana II going on a little Eldritch adventure, date, whatever it is, they don't know, honestly XD

For @heimeldat !

Sorry for being so slow TwT

[dyonisia96]

Oh no, I've had a fic idea that is so messed up XD Why do the most messed up ideas reveal themselves to me while I'm showering?

Brain is relaxed and then, suddenly, says "You know what would be cool to write? *Insert extremely messed up concept*"

Actually, though, I think it would be a cool idea.

I don't think it could work with any Doctor, just with some of them, but for sure it would work with the Valeyard or a hypothetical version of the Valeyard: I read a post where RTD said that there used to be an idea about making Rose a "made-in-a-lab" companion, something the Doctor himself had created. I would love to explore that concept, but I know why it wouldn't work in a series, it has too many dark implications - especially if the narrative ends up forgiving or being on the Doctor's side in this - and it's just not family friendly, at all. Far too villainous XD

Either way, I think it's an interesting concept. I mean, it's very messed up, but I think it could work in a story, something that's self-conclusive or ventures into this territory very carefully

[dyonisia96]

Angst tropes? I’m a sucker for “one of them thinks the other is dead”

or how about a scientist who sees eldritch!Doctor as Something To Study

Aurelia

We think alike don't we XD

Oh yes... YES

I really like this idea (no one is surprised)

[dyonisia96]

A couple of fics for the Pirate AU that I had in my backlog:

I found the strength to correct them, they've been catching dust in my computer for a while now TwT

[dyonisia96]

Back then I also made an alternative version for the cover (NEVER POSTED IT, SELF-SABOTEUR EXTRAORDINAIRE HERE - I also was self-conscious about it for some reason), and in February I drew more angst because- well. Angst needed to be drawn better XD

The fic:

[dyonisia96]

I've had a fic in mind where Seven chameleon arcs himself as a kid and infiltrates a school where kids are disappearing in order to discover what's going on there XD

He would make for a terrible menace of a child, very creepy

He would stare intensely at people for a worrying amount of time and say surprisingly wise things that would leave the adults to think about what they just heard, too stupefied to process it

[dyonisia96]

A bunch of stuff I drew for a fic I wrote this winter:

These drawings are ooooooold I drew them last October XD My art has even improved since then, so they kind of went through what happens to old drawings: they stayed in the drawer, especially since they're angsty (like me dehehe). Anyways, publicly outing myself as a very angsty person who likes to put characters in bad situations - but don't worry there are laughs and hugs too in this. Some scenes I changed or didn't keep the same in the final fic, but I still love all these drawings/brainstorming stuff for the story :D

You can tell the comics weren't planned bc there are no panels whatsoever I was just angsting in my lil room XD

[dyonisia96]

I really, really loved to write this one <3 It's really bittersweet, has both funny moments and a lot of melancholy to it. I hope you like it!

I love TARDISes a bit too much don't I?

[dyonisia96]

I wrote some more Doctor Nyarlathotep.... a bit more horror-y this time!

[dyonisia96]

For the "Yet another writing ask" list: 5, 10, 11, 25, 40

5. What's a tag you never want to use for your works even when it applies?

Character death? I don't know, I understand wanting to use it, and I have, I do indicate when that happens, but I'm not a superfan of those tags that tell you something that important in the story, it can ruin some of the emotional impact.

10. Top three favourite fic tropes.

OhhhH. Hm. I think I love when there's an accidental chaotic child acquisition - *clears throat* Seven and Ace. I also love when closed off characters finally open up or show a different, softer side of themselves. And I love stories that deal with mind stuff, may it be telepathy, hypnotism, dreams or altered states of consciousness and exploring mindscapes.

11. Three tropes that are fine but overrated.

Uh. Redemption arcs. I do love redemption arcs, but the more they are used, the iffier they get. Let characters own their ruthlessness. I think most people misunderstand what a redemption arc is and think that a couple of tears mean that all the bad things a character has done before are forgiven. Nope. XD It really depends on circumstance, and I think a redemption arc works only if a character hasn't crossed a certain ethical death horizon.

Romance. Most romances bore me, maybe because I'm mostly aromantic, who knows. But I have very low tolerance for them. They rarely interest me, but when they do, it's lovely and I admire the authors for doing something that was able to give me some emotions. I guess the problem resides more in using always the same tropes, I have found non conventional straight romances and queer romances a lot more interesting than what's presented in many other contexts.

Memory Loss. I freaking hate memory loss XD In most of the cases either way, it always depends on the story. But when I as a reader know the truth and the characters don't, it makes me go insane and I'm too angy to enjoy the story XD

25. Is writing the whole thing beforehand better or worse than writing it as you go?

I don't know if you mean this plot wise, but... I often have an outline, a very clear idea that I let coalesce in my mind. If I have a longer, more complex story, I will have to write down some things. However, I leave a lot of room for change and I try to stick to a very basic plot, that will still allow me to come up with a lot of things while I'm doing the writing itself. It's the only way to keep myself engaged in the moment and tell myself a story.

40. Write a 9-word fic.

Brevity isn't always everything, he wrote. I prefer to-

Thank you for the asks these are so much fun!

[dyonisia96]

I wrote a short Doctor Nyarlathotep vibes story!

Something cute and spooky, gotta get into the October spirit :)

[dyonisia96]

I wrote this chapter quite some time ago, I thought it was about time to post it XD This fic has been very cozy and nice to write for me, it has kept me company for a while <3 I have never written in second person before and it's so much fun!
