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.

Jesus Christ. I was tagged by @astorytotellyourfriends @woodelf68 @this-iz-music and @p0lkadotdotdot . I can’t withstand such peer pressure!

He bumped his nose affectionately with hers, making something in her stomach melt into a warm, gooey puddle. “Ohhh, I see how it is. No love for poor, lonely, outcast Eddie. You just want your surprise, is that it?”

Last line is eight words so imma taggggg @eirian-houpe @kelyon @peacehopeandrats @jackabelle73 @wayamy27narf @emospritelet @rogueimperator anddddd @phoenixwrites

[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

[the-chipped-cup-awards]

HOLD THE PHONES!

For those of you that have still been asking for more time to nominate... You have asked, and we have listened. As of today, the nominations form will remain open until NOON EST on Sunday 1/28/24.

Also, below the cut you will find a list of POTENTIAL nominees in case you want some more ideas. This list has been compiled from the FYCs put forward by the authors, and also by the nominations we have received so far.

Obviously, not all of the potential nominees will be nominated for each category. As per the rules, an entry can only be nominated for TWO categories for which the fic or art qualifies. Additionally, fics that have previously won (either in the TEAs or the CCAs) is ineligible. Mods have removed those fics/artwork based on currently available archives.

If you don't see a fic on the list that you think should be nominated, you can go ahead and nominate the fic. You are allowed as many unique entries on the nomination form as you would like.

So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and show our Rumbelle writers and artists all the love they deserve. Here is a link to the form:

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.
