#erica answers questions

[arobats]

is dean too busy dealing with john munchausens by proxying sam to consider he can also do it himself?

ooh compelling argument!

[newx-menfan]

The Hivemind interview for NYX on Mojoverse is doubling down on my 0 good ending expectations for LKW #7. Jackson is pretty firmly in the Laura/Kiden camp where Colin seems to be fine with both. They've also discussed things with Erica, but I have no clue where she stands on things or what she even wants to write about.

NGL Jules really really needs a true FRESH start.

Yeah- I definitely think LKW #7 is going to be disappointing… which honestly… I’m kind of okay with.

I agree at this point Hellion needs a new start, possibly in another book, away from his old romantic relationships.

And as much as I loved KYOST Laura… it’s just not the same character anymore.

Frankly- I’ve just lost interest in Laura as a character and NYX was the only book in recent years that wasn’t completely out of character.

It might just be time for me to give up on X-23/Laura titles. There’s just not a lot that interests me in the new direction anymore.

Kiden COULD HAVE worked- if the writing team had actually tried more and Kiden had more of her old Quesada personality… but that dynamic just seems pretty boring.

As of now- I have little excitement for X-Men and may honestly start dropping certain titles. I don’t HATE FtA (honestly Krakoa was a hit a miss for me!) but there’s nothing that excites me either.

Honestly I think I may just be done with comic books for a while.

A quick question for a story I’m writing. The monster au for stranger things. Would they be born as these monsters, manifest as these monsters at a certain age or become these monsters because of something in the upside down???

[leotanaka]

kraina, what are your thoughts on the archies as a riverdale fan... Feel free to answer this ask at your own pace.

hey erica :)

great question.

you know, i absolutely loved "the archies" and the more i think about it, the more i feel like being a riverdale fan is actually a big factor in why i loved it so much because it reminded me a bit of the 90s tv movie "archie: to riverdale and back again". obviously they are two very different movies based on the archie comics but if i had watched them on their own without having seen riverdale and no prior knowledge of the characters, relationships and structure of the stories, i'm not sure how i would feel about them. whether i would like or dislike them but having watched riverdale and loving the show as much as i do, i think is why i love the film so much. it's very much a case, imo, that when you look at an adaptation of a story or a comic or anything else that you love, you tend to appreciate the different ways of telling the story more and the different yet similar ways of portraying the characters you've grown to love.

I hope this doesn't annoy you too much, but I have so many questions about Modern!reader

Like, would they try to find a way home? Would they want to stay? Would they worry about their loved ones missing them back home? Would Eragon try to help even though he'd obviously want them to stay with him?

Hi. Oh my goodness, the Modern!Reader. The fan of Eragon who has no idea, technically, how they dropped into Alagaësia. Magically, sure, but Reader read about magic, they didn’t know how to use magic. But that portal they arrived through was awesome, however short in its stay.

Modern!Reader has no idea how to return home. Their only small chance would be to tell Angela every detail and hope she would figure something out. Even a theory would be helpful.

During Reader’s first night in Alagaësia, they were feeling homesick and missing their loved ones, friends obviously included. Reader knew how exciting and dangerous Alagaësia was, especially alone knowing sensitive information. There was no telling what could be happening back home.

Once learning about Modern!Reader’s situation, Eragon would be confused and conflicted. Of course, Eraogn wanted to help his friend, but he wasn’t entirely sure magic doorways were real. But he wanted to believe the Reader, but even then what help could he be of getting them home? He didn’t know any complicated transportation magic.

Eragon feels guilty; he wants them to stay and he can’t begin to figure out how to help. All the Dragon Rider knows is that he cares for his friend deeply and he will do what he can to make them fell at home in Mount Arngor.

Reader feels torn; they love experiencing life on Mount Arngor, but they do really miss home and the people there.

Either way, Reader ad Eragon’s friendship would grow.

Best wishes and happy reading.)

So if Mbav was a disney show how do you think they would change the name to save money

I love this question a lot (referring to this post) because it allows me to think of a world where mbav gets more than two seasons lol. I had to think long and hard about this one, since Disney has never really done a series like this before on their own, but usually the change in name also came with a change in location, so I'd like to imagine that Disney would do some lame shit like having the final season take place in Transylvania where the fang gang is on foreign exchange or something. The characters ages and grades could get messy QUICK but I can see them doing something along the line of Benny, Rory, and Ethan are leaving on exchange and his parents make Sarah go with them as a teachers assistant or something so she can still babysit him while he's away. Then Erica can sneak in so she can be with Sarah or something along those lines.

So since the Disney Channel airing changed the name of the S1E13 to "Jesse's Girl", I could see them calling the show something like: My Babysitter's a Vampire: Revamped. Although personally, if they named the show My Babysitter's a Vampire: The Series Does: Transylvania, then I would be happy.

So there's my Disney Channel read of mbav, or mbavr, or mbavtsdt ;)

Have you ever thought about making writing your new '9-5' job? Or is it just a passionate hobby for you?

AKIISAME I LOVE U SO MUCH THANKS FOR SENDING ME THIS FUN QUESTION, I'M SORRY IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO RESPOND!!!

Okay, first of all, I'm truly honored you think I could be a full time writer! I told my bff & coworker Emily, who is a professional copywriter, that you sent me this message and she basically told me to never become a full time writer because it sucks all the passion out of writing 😂

That being said, her job as a copywriter is a lot different than the job of like, a novelist or something, and I think writing books could be really fun! I know some fanfics get turned into novels, and that is a very exciting prospect for me, but I'm not sure how I would actually feel about that when it came down to it, or if it something I would want to do.

This year, one of my goals is to write a novel-length fanfic inspired by this idea.

I mostly write in second person, which is apparently not a very marketable perspective for books. One of my greatest joys about what I do here is that I am able to create a story that you all can fully immerse yourselves in and have a deeper connection to. The only reason I started writing in the first place is because I had such an overwhelming love for Malleus and Leona, I needed a medium to express that love through. If I were to actually write a novel length fanfiction that was successful enough to get picked up as a book, I'd have to change so many details to avoid copyright, and I'd have to choose an actual descriptive MC... If it came down to it, I don't know if I would turn down such an offer, but I would certainly have to think through all the pros and cons. The main goal of making profit off of this would be so that I could continue to write fics and pursue other artistic endeavors that would bring me endless joy and fulfillment in my life. Regretfully, I don't have any other book ideas besides things that are inspired by TWST, since MalleLeo occupy too much space in my brain to make room for OCs or other arcs.

Unfortunately, I feel like writing is a lot less profitable than art. I wish I could sell my fanfics in cute lil hardcover books in a similar vein to how artists sell keychains of their faves, but I don't even know if thats something people would want. It would be uncharted territory and D*sney would probably try to take me out.

Another concern is AI and the uncertainty of what the art industry is even going to look like in the next few years... I am lucky that AI writing is not currently very good, but who knows how that is going to change. Before I became a writer and started writing fics, I used to be a lot more concerned for my friend Emily's writing career. However, now that I truly understand what it means to write, I feel a bit more secure against the AI. Line by line, every word I choose to speak, every concept I choose to employ, every direction I send the story in is meticulously crafted... an Erica Original™️. The computers can steal my writing style, but they can't steal my thoughts and my brain... at least not yet (knock on wood). I mean, with writing, there are only so many combinations of words and phrases that you can use. What matters is now is how I, a human, choose to use them. Right now, AI just does what is predictable. I could have a tender moment happening one second, and choose to send Malleus flying off a cliff the next second—and I'd still create a cohesive story that kept y'all on the edges of your seat.

Last but not least, I am a Software Engineer, and I also have a mortgage... the mortgage makes it harder for me to take financial risks, and I would need to make close to how much I'm currently making in my job to feel comfy switching careers... 😅

Any headcannons on the hale sisters? Or any of the spy school characters?

they're both incredibly jealous each other for the upbringing they got. trixie is jealous that erica got to be a part of the family legacy and be a hale in a way that, even if she were allowed to start training as a spy, she would never get to be. erica is jealous of trixie because she gets to forge her own identity outside of the spy business. because even though she's good at espionage and doesn't want that sense of identity taken away, she wishes that it could have been a choice, and more and more she's realizing the toll that it takes on her personal relationships and is wondering if it's really worth it.

erica was homeschooled for the entirety of her time leading up to her entrance at the academy, aside from the two weeks she attended second grade when trixie started kindergarten. it was around the time catherine and alexander's marriage was starting to fray at the edges, and they were hoping that if both girls were going to school, then catherine could spend more time working around the world because she felt obliged to stay at home with them when they were young. it went kind of horribly, and while erica herself didn't get into any fights (because she had been warned explicitly not to hurt any of her classmates), it was going pretty bad for her socially speaking and trixie had received no such warnings and was completely willing to release all of her feral energy and bite seven year olds who were being mean to her big sister. erica was pulled out almost right away and went back to homeschooling, and after her suspension was over, trixie went back and finished the year and started going to boarding school the next year. meanwhile, erica was just taken around with catherine most of the time and dropped back with alexander when catherine went on more involved missions and just did her schoolwork there.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN ABOUT THOSE AUS

PLEASE ELABORATE LMAO

i had to do some weird ao3 searches but here you go!!

[newx-menfan]

I don’t think LKW #8 cover or solicitation means anything for LKW #6-7 since LKW #1-5 consisted out of a one-shot and two arcs that were two issues long. LKW #8 is a start of a new arc not a continuation of LKW #6-7.

Idk- it seems weird to build up a relationship and then suddenly drop it? I personally think it’s “all a dream” kind of scenario.

Honestly though, LKW has had such a weird vibe from past Laura books- like it can’t quite decide what it wants to be?

Continuation of Schultz’s mini by bringing back Haymaker? Team-ups and Cameos? Examination into Laura and her anger? Laura saving homeless mutants?

It just feels very messy and I don’t particularly LOVE how Laura is written- there’s great moments, like her identifying with Bucky… but then Schultz kind of ruins it by making Laura sound fifteen or like a female Logan. I wish I liked it more than I do, truthfully.

[n4talia-chaparro]

Hey, a question that happened to Erika from your Au?

💜||꒷꒦︶🫐︶︶꒷꒦︶∪∪︶꒷꒦︶︶🫐︶꒷꒦||💜

It's gonna be hard to explain--

Erica is doing alright honestly, although she may seem weak due to her injuries. I'm assuming she's okay???? I don't know. I'm bad at explaining each character in the AU, some of them may have a different side of the story (probably like a "POV" thing) but you know. It's hard to let it out of my chest or mind.

But hey! Soon I might explain what happened to her and the rest of the characters soon (or maybe not cuz I'm bad at keeping a promise and I'm a big dumbass with no creativity lol). Or idk. Who knows. Again, Erica is doing alright and idk silly? No normal yeah normal.

[buddieisgoingcanon25]

Just a random question, how old are you?

Not sure why you’re asking that question… but I’m 36.

[silentstyx]

okay saw that you also write for ethan morgan and could you. write a siren!reader thats like SUPER into him and he finds it unnerving (hes not used to girls Actually liking him) and he agrees to go on a date w her?? you can choose where!

"Bright like blue" ~ Ethan Morgan x Siren! Reader

tw! siren

erm idk which episode had the siren i cant find it 😖 i was gonna rewatch it but nvm ig, anyways ik what sirens are so i'll js thug it out. Also this guy is such a geek that he fs does dates at his house and gets his family to leave the house. he's also broke. i hate this.

(backstory: friends w sarah/erica they knew you were a siren, told the group thats how everyone knows)

Ethan kept his distance from her, to the best of his abilities at least. The thought of her luring someone out and killing them just by using her voice was.... frightening to say the least.

Yet, every time she flashed him the smile he remembered the kind of person she was. That she wouldn't make random men fall in love with her and then lure them out to sea and drown them! Right?

He knew you liked him, Sarah told him awhile ago. He didn't know what to do though, a girl hasn't ever liked him before. He's never even been on a date. I mean he's never really been too interested in dating until last year! Except he would be lying if he said you weren't attractive, I mean you're one of the prettiest people he's seen. Like ever.

"Hey, Ethan wait up" You called for him.

You were going to the same class together, he already knew that. It scared him, but he knew. Why was he so terrified of you? He knew you wouldn't actually kill him, but every once in a while he'll catch a glimpse of a scale or gill thats usually well hidden and it freaks him out.

"you wanna walk to class with-" He cut you off before you could finish your sentence.

"Do you wanna go on a date?" He asks looking at you, "wi-with me! i mean... do you want to go on a date with me..."

The last part of that was less of a question and more of anxiety and muttering. Yet, you could only smile at him and his dorky self.

"yeah sure" you respond, contently.

He was confused, why was he more anxious about this than you? You're the one that likes him! He doesn't even know if he likes you! Ok, he does like you a little bit... but why aren't you freaking out? Jesus just answer her!

"okay, uhm uh do you wanna just meet me at my house then..?" He was trying to play cool but there was clear anxiety in his voice. His stutter with every other word.

"yeah, sounds cool. So... do you wanna walk to class together or what?" You say, almost teasingly. With that same smile you always give him. God, you're pretty.

He just nods his head and you guys walk and talk with each other to class. You were doing the majority of talking, but you were so funny and so interesting. He hadn't ever talked to you for this long before. Once you reached the class your shared giggles died down.

After sitting through the hour long class he was thinking about what to wear, he had a good idea of what it would be. In the halls you went with Sarah and Erica while he went with Benny and Rory. You both just happened to be talking about the same thing though.

You came over an hour after school ended, there were no cars in the drive way. It looked as if no one was home, except the lights were on. You knocked on the door.

He answered wearing his and blue collar shirt with his formal pants. He looked at your somewhat formal (dress/suit/etc) attire.

"You look great" he says with a nervous smile.

"Thanks," you say with a genuine voice, "you look... geeky"

You both chuckle and he invites you in, offering his hand to you. You grab his hand and he gets a vision of water and a dock and a song.

You being a siren this freaks him out and he lets go of you instantly. While you just look at him confused, why did he drop your hand so fast? He had finally just stopped acting weird around you, kind of. Is he going to start again?

He leads you to the dining room where he set up candles and music, with food that looks surprisingly edible.

The room looked nice but, you had to poke fun.

"Everything looks great, but." Your voice trailed off at the end, teasing him.

He looked at you nervously, "but?"

"Take off the sweater vest. It's killing the mood." You say, playfully making fun of him. Lightly laughing.

He just rolled his eyes, taking off the vest and throwing it somewhere behind the two of you.

You two were talking and laughing the whole night, besides eating the enormous amounts of food that the two of you happened to finish somehow?

"Hey, I wanna show you something c'mon!" You say excitedly, standing up while wiping your face.

He looked at you confused, was this the thing in his vision? What were you showing him? He got up slowly, following you out.

You finally both arrived, hand-in-hand, walking to a somewhat abandoned dock. It didn't look old and dangerous but there were no boats or any signs of recent human life. You leave him and go to the edge of the dock, sticking your feet over. Humming some olden siren tune.

Same song as in his vision, thus making him panic. He stays off the deck completely, scared of what you might do. You turn around, suggesting him to come over as you scoot over. Making room for him. Kicking your feet in the water. He walks over, slowly, to sit with you. He takes off his shoes and socks and puts his feet in the water. Kicking with your feet in the water.

Maybe some visions aren't bad.
