ask game: 🥤!

🥤 ⇢ recommend an author or fanfic you love

If we're talking published author, it's Jane Austen.

If we're talking favorite fanfic author?!?!?! I can't list just one. Here we go! @rarepairheathen, @mariequitecontrarie, @spottytonguedog, @bad-faery, @leni-ba, @galactic-pirates, @jackabelle73, @celticheartedfangirl, @charlotteashmore13, @emospritelet, @ishtarelisheba, @nothingeverlost, @scribbles-by-kate

[abovethemists]

Twenty questions for fic writers

Tagged by @saxgoddess25

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

85

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

944,230

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Once Upon A Time, SGU (but just Rush)

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Purgatory (910)

Little White Lie (594)

The Future's So Bright (576)

No Two Hearts (556)

A Twist in Time (501)

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

I try to. I used to not because I felt weird about it, like I was trying to repost my fic constantly by responding to everything (on tumblr). But then I thought about how I like to get a response from an author when I comment on something and got over myself.

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

I don't do angsty endings really. I like angst with a happy ending. If nothing else, my fics all end hopefully. I think. I might be forgetting something.

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

I mean they pretty much all end with my babies happy and together so all of them.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Not really hate specific to my fics. I have on occasion had a comment from someone who just hates Rumbelle but that hasn't happened in a long time. Ship wars were weird.

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

Oh yes. It's expected in the Rumbelle fandom. It's not my favorite thing to write though. I have trouble just writing pure smut. I need there to be backstory and feelings involved. I do emotional smut.

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

I write Anyelle, so yes. Pairing up Rush and Lacey was pretty crazy.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

No.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

I think so.

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

Nope.

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

Rumbelle!

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

I have every intention of finishing everything I've ever started. It might take a decade, but I'll do it eventually.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Dialogue.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Action. Kill me if I ever had to block out a sword fight. It's why smut is hard. I get caught up in where everyone's limbs are.

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

I only speak one language fluently and wouldn't dare bastardize another language.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Harry Potter. Waaaaaaay back when. Also Jane Austen. Not sure which I wrote first.

20. Favorite fic you've written?

I'm always partial to my Rush/Lacey stuff. My favorite Rumbelle fic is probably A Sharp and Glorious Thorn, if I ever get it finished. It's exactly my type of angst.

I was tagged by the lovely @lodessa

Here’s a snippet from the Rumbelle fic I said I wasn’t gonna post until it was done, but now I’m probably gonna start posting tonight:

Belle sucked in a surprised gasp through her nose. Her lungs ached, her muscles were stiff, and there was a quickly-fading burning sensation in her chest.

Most alarming of all, someone was kissing her.

Her eyes snapped open. Immediately, her entire body relaxed. It was Donovan, kissing her awake like something out of a fairy tale. His whisky-brown eyes shone with tears in the bright fluorescent light.

Exhaustion pulled at her, making her eyelids flutter. All she wanted to do was lose herself in the press of his lips to hers.

So there is a Mister Ripper somehow... it good and great. I now understand all of you dirtily and happily married ^^

Especially @emospritelet ;)

[emospritelet]

I’m not saying that your work has impinged on my conscience or anything but I was just on Twitter and they were talking about the Long Game. I had a moment when I went why are they talking about emospritelet’s work. Then I realised it was in the cyber context. Which is what I do for a living. Hopefully that’s ok with you?

Haha! Yes, my ears always pick up on hearing that too 😆

[jackabelle73]

If Rumple and Belle a dæmon, what would they be? I don't know if this was ever discussed in the fandom. Similarly, what do you think the others would've been?

Nonnie, I don't think I'm the best person to ask this question. I've never given much thought to either of them as demons, nor sought out fic with that premise. I know @emospritelet had at least one story (or series maybe?) where one or both of them were demons of some sort, but that's literally all I got.

I'll throw this out to the fandom at large... anyone have any headcanons or fic recs with demon!Rumbelle?

[shipperqueen93]

FYI for my friendly rumbelle authors. I'm rereading a lot of rumbelle fic so if you get me screaming in your inbox please take it as love.

Also @emospritelet I'm sorry lol

[peacehopeandrats]

Skin Deep Day is nearly over in my part of the world and all I can say is how happy the day has made me feel.

I got my Fluff fic done, and the accompanying rose...

I got to watch my dash fill up with the love, joy, and hope that is Rumbelle...

And I got to watch some amazing authors be shown the love they deserve.

So happy for @tickletorso, @bibliosauruswrecks, @emospritelet, @jackabelle73, @eirian-houpe, @kelyon, @serenalyon, @lotus0kid, @celticheartedfangirl, @thatravenclawbitchh-blog, @rufeepeach, @nerdrumple, @rowofstars, and anyone I might have missed in the days postings. You are all amazing creators, as are those who got the nod of a nomination. This was a hard year to vote on.

Here's to doing it all again next year!

[abovethemists]

A (Love Makes Us Sick), G, O and R for the ask game

A: How did you come up with the title to [insert fic]?

Love Makes Us Sick comes from Rumple's line to Snow when he's giving her the potion to forget Charming in season 1. "Love makes us sick. Haunts our dreams. Destroys our days. Love has killed more than any disease." Seemed fitting for that fic.

G: Do you write your story from start to finish, or do you write the scenes out of order?

Totally out of order. I've had the last chapter of Purgatory written for years. If only I could get to it. I have so many fics where I've got thousands of words of future stuff I just need to get to. It's always such a relief when I finally get to use a scene I wrote months or years before.

O: How do you begin a story—with the plot, or the characters?

Characters. At least for fanfic. It all comes from "I love these characters, what would they do if I threw them in this random situation." Even in my original fic I start with characters first. If I don't know who is in my story, I can't know what happens.

R: Are there any writers (fanfic or otherwise) you consider an influence?

For rumbelle, probably the fic writers who got me into this fandom. @bad-faery, @rufeepeach, @thestraggletag. I was devouring their fics before I'd even fully binged the episodes available. I'm sure their characterization influenced mine. And @emospritelet is my main smut influence, I've got to be honest. I will never be as good at it as her, but reading her stuff made me bolder.

[anneelliotscat]

@emospritelet, this one's for you! Penance, The Long Game, the many RumRushBelle stories, the Christmas fluffs, and so much more!

i think theres this idea in the general public that the "best" fanfic gets turned into real books like 50 shades of grey. but the truth is that the best fanfic can never be published as an actual book because its intricately woven into the canon material so its inseparable even if you change the names
