Works 7-9 have been revealed!
Tumblr media
I vowed I will always be yours for charliebrown90
Five times Daenerys swooned over Jorah Mormont
Once Upon a Jorleesi for @fandomsbyladymelodrama
When Daenerys gets a promotion to her dream job, her best friend Jorah is the first person with whom she wants to celebrate. He buys her a very special present, organizes even more special attractions... and things get too romantic for them to stay just friends. This is a Jorah/Daenerys centered fic set in the town Storybrooke (from Once Upon a Time).

20 Questions for Fic Writers
Thank you to @fandomsbyladymelodrama for the tag! This should be fun...
How many works do you have on AO3? Presently, 24. (I joined AO3 3 years after joining fanfiction.net so there are a few more on there of questionable quality)
What's your total AO3 word count? 135,060
What fandoms do you write for? It varies greatly depending on what I'm watching, but mostly All Creatures Great and Small (2020) and Star Trek Voyager/Next Gen.
What are your top 5 fics by kudos? My Dearest Lizzy (a Pride & Prejudice/Death Comes to Pemberley fanfic from AGES ago), Right Here (Mission Impossible, Ilsa/Ethan), Frozen Harmonies (hilariously, an overly dramatic Star Trek Next Gen fanfic, Picard/Crusher), For a Time Innumerable (Wheel of Time, series 1 aftermath, wrote this last year and kinda proud of it), Milk & Honey (All Creatures Great and Small 2020, in which Mr Farnon and Mrs Hall converse in the kitchen in the small hours of the morning, one of my personal faves)
Do you respond to comments? Yes! I love responding to comments and discussing my fics as well as commenting on other people's works.
What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? That is a good question... There are a great many. Potentially Some Shred of Goodness (The Crucible) which reflects on John and Elizabeth Proctor's relationship and if you know what happens in the play then the end of this fic, whilst sounding happy, is SUPER angsty.
What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Ooooh, um, either Little Ordinary Things or Knights and Dragons, both fluffy Siegfried & Audrey, All Creatures Great & Small fics.
Do you get hate on fics? I had one comment on a fic last year that was weird/not nice/super critical/generally confusing and it kinda freaked me out so I deleted the fic - until some lovely person came and found me on Tumblr asking where the rest was and to not give up writing it.
Do you write smut? Nope.
Do you write crossovers? I don't think I've ever written one? I do have a potential crossover in mind (added to the very long list of unwritten fic ideas)
Have you ever had a fic stolen? I don't think so.
Have you ever had a fic translated? No idea?
Have you ever co-written a fic before? Not yet.
What's your all-time favorite ship? Good grief I can only have one? Most of my ships have not sailed, lol. RIP. Or have yet to set sail *cough* Siegfried/Audrey from All Creatures Great and Small, and then Picard/Crusher and Janeway/Chakotay from Star Trek. Also platonic ship: Moiraine & Lan, Wheel of Time. My original OTPs will forever be Aragorn/Arwen and Han/Leia.
What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? The Star Trek Next Gen fic I started writing 10 years ago which has 5 different versions and is over 40k words in note form *cries*
What are your writing strengths? I have not been asked this before... I like writing descriptively, describing locations but also emotions. If you've read my fics I'd like to know what you think my strengths are?
What are your writing weaknesses? Coming up with titles. I have a tendency to edit to death. And then ending up in the cycle of I kinda hate this/this is the best thing I've ever written and trying to find an end. Also, not planning everything out and getting lost in my chapters.
Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? If it's called for, go for it! I'm currently working on a Witcher fic and have done a stupid amount of research into the Elder speech and Skellige jargon.
First fandom you wrote for? Technically Scott & Bailey on fanfiction.net, When it Rains it Pours. It is terrible, the punctuation is everywhere, it's hilariously dramatic, and still my longest fic to date.
Favorite fic you've written? Oh no, I don't know! I really don't. Possibly Milk & Honey?
Tagging: @fuel-prices, @phoenixflames12, @shelbyxhughes, @beanabouttown, @itsmeagain00O , or tag yourself ;)

20 questions for fic writers
Hello. It's your girl and local toaster oven.
I was tagged by @fandomsbyladymelodrama uhh this is like the first post I've made on tumblr since forever so pls forgive.
How many works do you have on AO3? 18
What's your total AO3 word count? 106,955
What fandoms do you write for? A lot of GoT (Game of Thrones), A few for Arcane, and just recently FF7 (Final Fantasy 7).
What are your top 5 fics by kudos? imperfect, paradox, pragma, dunamis, x bombs x bullets.
Do you respond to comments?
What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? I don't think there is any. They all have a happy/hopeful ending because I know nothing else.
What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? All of them, lul.
Do you get hate on fics? The only hate I received was recently and it's not even real hate. It was just a bot-generated guest comment. I was disappointed and my day was ruined. How dare no one hate me.
Do you write smut? No because there are so many other folks who write it better than I ever could so I just mooch off of them like I'm at a five-star restaurant (thank you for the food, besties)
Do you write crossovers? No.
Have you ever had a fic stolen? PFFFFFFFF-
Have you ever had a fic translated? Not that I'm aware of.
Have you ever co-written a fic before? I have no idea if that one fic I wrote based off of @salzrand's art with the guitar counts.
What's your all-time favorite ship? Jorleesi (GoT) got me back into fanfic writing so I'ma have to go with them. Tsengru (FF7) is def a close second.
What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? I plead the fifth.
What are your writing strengths? Memes.
What are your writing weaknesses? Writing.
Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? *Angry Valyrian noises*
First fandom you wrote for? If we wanna go way way back to my 14 year-old tween self, KHR (Katekyo Hitman Reborn).
Favorite fic you've written? Gotta be Paradox. Thanks to the lovely and talented writers behind GoT, I was at my lowest point post 8x03 like many others. The trauma motivated me start typing away for the first time in over a decade since my last fic on FF.net. Personally, I don't think it's my greatest piece, but it's definitely one that came from the deepest pit of my soul and jumpstarted everything for me on AO3.

@fandomsbyladymelodrama
@heatherfield your tags 🥰 and ohhh could totally see a rumbelle AU here (Belle/Christy maps pretty fabulously) and maybe Rob Allen/Ruby Mae could work as Red Cricket? 😍 or others obvi but just thinking out loud 😂 @heatherfield one more thing - can’t remember if this is canon but Ruby Mae totally has a Granny (you just know she does) who probs warns her about taking baths on the full moon 😘 😂
So aside from the very obvious Belle being Christy—idealistic, wants to make the world a better place and also wants to get out there and make her mark on things—Neil is very obviously Rumple. Scottish, gruff, tries to keep the new schoolteacher at arm's length despite his immediate attraction and fascination. He's also dealing with a painful past, so it would work well for him to be dealing with the loss of his son (Baelfire/Neal). Maybe doesn't know if he's alive or not.
As far as Red Cricket, I imagine Granny and Ruby running the boarding house where the (relatively) new preacher stays. So basically David would become Archie but he wouldn't be interested in Belle the same way David is interested in Christy. He'd instead find himself pining for Ruby but trying to convince himself that he is supposed to stay single to fully carry out his work. (And he's convinced that she wouldn't care for him, anyway.)
Snow and David would probably be Fairlight Spencer and her husband, with their daughter Emma.
Not sure if Granny would kind of be Miss Alice, though, too? It would fit, with Ruby's mother running away. And she could be some sort of combination of a religious leader who has come back the Cutter Gap, maybe returning home. She's the perfect matriarch. (I'm trying to have my cake and eat it, too, haha.)
This definitely falls into one of those "fics I'll probably never write" categories, but I do love the idea of it all. :D
No pressure on this, but I wanted to ask if you'd like to tell me about one of/some of your favorite Christy scenes, and the things you like most about it/them? I can't singlehandedly revive the fandom on here, but it's such a joy to talk over this show with other fans!
I didn't realize until recently how thoroughly the Neil/Christy relationship informed my romantic preferences in all the media and writing I've done since watching it in my teens. Older, scholarly man/younger, determined woman, some kind of angst in the man's past, a need to change things for the better as an intrinsic part of the woman's character, a taboo element that stands in the way of the relationship... Even in the slash pairings I love so much, there's still so many elements of it!
Tumblr media
Hey filmmakers, don't think we don't notice that you frame these two with Christy on a step/incline half the time to de-emphasize the height difference...
Oh my, oh my. Okay, first, let's be real. I've been waiting for an ask like this since 1994 (baby Tumblr wasn't even born yet 😂) so get ready for some major Neil/Christy feels that I've been suppressing but also diligently-tending-in-the-background for 30+/- years. THEY. ARE. PERFECT. Top-shelf OTP bottle, for sure. You understand, right? Of course, you do. We've discussed. But yeah, I feel the same way about this show/book/pairing influencing and informing both my writing style and romantic preferences in fiction over the years. Happy to admit it. Yes *raises hand* 1000 times yes. Hello, my name is ladymelodrama, and the fact that CBS so cruelly stole resolution for Neil/Christy from us forever (I'm not counting the PAX movies, I'm just not) is a crime against good television everywhere and will haunt my Christy-loving bones until I'm dead and buried in the ground deep enough so's the critter's can't find me, as Little Burl or Creed Allen would say. Anyway, you asked about Neil and Christy and favorite moments and since I can't just pick one...
Tumblr media
I have a proposition to make :) Let's trade fave moments until we run out of them, maybe? No pressure, of course, but this is me mostly unwilling to commit to my Top 5 Scenes until I finish my rewatch, and even then I'll probably change my mind a couple times 😂 But here's one that I'll discuss in detail today and which I like to call the "Will This Do?" scene aka "and then they both smiled their little smiles at each other and lived happily ever after. The end." <3
Tumblr media
(Credit to @heatherfield for this gif, and bless you, friend, for continuously shipping the same pairings as me - makes my gif-hunting so much easier haha <3)
So why do I love this scene so much? Oh, you know. Margret's dress. Objectively, it's gorgeous (the woman had style, even if she had no heart). And hey, it only coded Neil/Christy as endgame from the first episode, no big deal. Plus it was one of the softest moments in the whole show and THE WAY THEY SMILED AT EACH OTHER. Ugh. Soffffffft. I'm mean, you're seeing this too, right? ;) Meanwhile, I'm sure David is over here in the corner...doing what David does best XD Lurking. Always lurking.
Tumblr media
(and, based on the pic I chose, maybe taking notes on how to have better chemistry with Christy? - "Dear Diary, Neil MacNeill is kinda the worst, have I mentioned?" 😂) But in all seriousness, what I love about that scene (and the exchange of smiles, in particular) is how there's an honest-to-goodness, my-spirit-just-spoke-to-your-spirit bit of humanity happening there. I die for those moments, little and quiet as they may be. It's just so...SOFT. They don't know each other yet. Not really. There's no romance at play (other than what I assume might be mutual physical attraction, even if Christy would never let herself go there. Not on her first days in the Cove) so it's more a budding friendship that we're seeing and friends-to-lovers is one of my favorite things? (Jorleesi, Jisbon, Siegfried/Audrey, Obidala, Red Cricket, Dickon/Mary much?). I also really enjoy when she comes down the stairs looking all pretty-in-lavender with her hair down (still lolling at your comment on that detail btw because...c'est vrai 😂) and "Oh no, David, it's so late...how will we ever get to Lufty Branch in time?" "Not we, Christy." (exactly, David, you're getting it). Too bad she has to spend all afternoon in this rustic cabin with a plaid-shirted, barrel-chested, brogue-speaking, moody mountain man with inside pain for dayssssss. Oh the everlasting horror XD
So yeah, so much to love about this scene (and the entire convo in the cabin afterwards and him plucking her from Theo prior to the whole dress thing - guy helps girl down from horse = I'm in love 😍). To witness the very beginning of their arc (okay, Part II of the beginning, but the doctor was busy with brain surgery during Part I, so you know what I mean) and to have the actors play it so, so beautifully and in an Appalachian setting that's just misty and magical and to die for all by itself... Mmmm *chef's kiss* Your turn, @darsynia <3

WIP Word Game
I was tagged by @lovelikewildness. Thanks so much! This is such a fun one!
Rules: You will be given a word. Share one sentence/excerpt from your WIP that starts with each letter of that word.
My word was: STARE.
S
Sure enough, Polka settles on the newest James Bond, which Suki couldn’t have been paid to watch under any other circumstances.
T
The sensible thing to do, the right thing to do, is to select 'men'.
She ticks 'women'. Adds 'men' to assuage the sickening feeling that instantly takes root in her stomach.
It doesn't particularly work.
A
A day at the beach, sleeveless shirt showing off tanned skin and lean muscles—Suki can see the hint of a tan line where the strap on her t-shirt has tumbled down over one shoulder. Sunglasses, a beaming grin, a backwards cap hiding sweaty, windswept hair. Longer, Suki notes.
R
Really, she should just block her number and have done with it. Eve overstepped a boundary. That can never be forgiven.
E
Eve is so close to her, so close that she can pick out the flecks of colour in her eyes, the dusting of freckles across the bridge of her nose. Her breath is warm against her cheek, and Suki feels as if her whole being is on the cusp of igniting. Of burning the world down around her.
I tag @markcampbells, @mirai-desu, @annambates, @fandomsbyladymelodrama, and @miss-ute if you fancy giving it a go!
Your word is SURGE.

WIP Game!
Rules: Write the latest line from your wip and tag as many people as there are words in the line. Make a new post, don’t reblog. Tagged by @clarasimone !!
This is from my WIP of my upcoming chapter of 'A Darker Shade of Blue' - a Jorah/Daenerys fic.
"Ah, well, why don't you let me deal with Tyrion? But, love, I can't really concentrate on that when you are standing there, naked and gorgeous, now can I?" He smiled at her and the pure, genuine happiness on his face made her put down her phone and take a running jump back onto the bed to join him.

fic interview meme
i tell ya right now this is gonna be a short one because i barely write XD! Still! thanks for tagging me @fandomsbyladymelodrama​!
Name: joraerys (in ao3)
Fandoms I write for: Ugh... I only ever wrote for Game of Thrones.  Two-shot: Don’t have one. Have this untitled one instead. It’s Jorah with the objective to look for ships in Qarth (season 2) and it’s the first thing I ever wrote. A very short one. Most popular multichapter: Errrr it’s a gifset/minific in one: Lost and Found Actual Worst Part of Writing: GETTING STARTED. Ya got the outline, the ideas, and then you have to start... and hope the flow goes smoothly. How you choose your titles: Something that is climactic or summarizes the theme of the story... at the start. If I cannot think of anything, then some cliche phrase maybe. I’m just gonna take a minute and enjoy @fandomsbyladymelodrama‘s response on this one:  
With a sword (pen) in my hand and determination in my heart. And if the end result is a line in French, that means I definitely lost the battle 😂
Do you outline: Yes. Is it coherent? Does it make sense though? Errrmmm.... Ideas I probably won’t get to but it would be nice: The old-Jorah and old-Dany prompt by @youcancallme-ray still keep ringing in my mind but I never got to do an outline for it. Just the idea is interesting. But as I begin to form ideas, I get a little sad. The ‘growing old and still falling in love with you’ part though seems wonderful to explore. Best writing habits: Ha? Hahahahahahahaha! Spicy opinion: I don’t know if it’s spicy but I think anyone who follows me at this point knows none of my major ships have come true, and yet I still feel they belong together, given the chance... whether to stay close to each other or to fall in love with one another.
I could probably write an essay here for Ted and Rebecca, individually, and if romantically linked, but a lot of people already share the same sentiment and they could write down their thoughts more articulately than I ever could. I guess just this once, I hoped the ship would actually come true with all the signs... I hoped too much and probably watched a lot of cast interviews that also fueled it. Their friendship is still something so precious that I wished even a glimpse of that string tying them together was hinted at to continue, instead of the lamentation that Rebecca went through, making it seem like they’ll never cross paths again.
Tagging @waddingham @roamwithahungryheart  Any other writer that wishes to play, go ahead! No pressure to do this to the tagged ones.

Ohhhhh but you wrote the Red Cricket “True Loves Comes Softly” fic, right? 😍 How was I not following you already? 😂
For real though...one of my fave fics ever. Across all the fandoms ❤️
Tumblr media
Ohmygoodness I don't even know what to say!! I might just cry!
I noticed you reblogged my Red Cricket gifset and your tags made me so happy I was going to comment but I wasn't expecting this! Thank you thank you thank you for your lovely words. I feel like I poured myself into the "True Love Comes Softly" fic and I'm so glad I finished it. It's wonderful to hear that others like it so much!! <3
I had so much fun with that pioneer OUAT world that I've got a sequel half planned out and I've started to write it but it's got a long way to go. Your comment is almost providential because I've actually been back to writing a bit for the first time in forever (for another fandom) and it makes me hopeful I will get back to writing Red Cricket.
So thank you again!! I miss Red Cricket and I am always excited to hear that others love them, too.
P.S. Thanks for the follow! :D

WIP Word Game
Thank you for the tag @fandomsbyladymelodrama! <3
Rules: You will be given a word. Share one sentence/excerpt from your WIP that starts with each letter of that word.
My word was: MAGIC.
I've currently got two 60k+ wips on the go that I've been working on for over a year. Help. M & A are from a Happy Valley wip, and G, I & C are from a Witcher fic.
M
Milton avenue is as quiet as she left it the day before. Deserted. As if no one had set foot on the cobbled path she was walking down for a very long time.
A
And she knows that if she dares, if she looks beyond his quiet grin, she'll find the same sadness that had stolen years they might have otherwise spent together.
G
Guilt blooms in the pit of her stomach as Tissaia braces herself against a pillar, a heaved exhale creating a solitary tear in her evergreen composure.
I
It is not long before the other follow, cocooning themselves in a ring of defiance, drawing strength from their collective chaos and the coveted presence of their sisters.
C
Chaos gathers in the hollow dome above their heads, drawn not from the tempting flames but from the cool fabric of night.
I'm tagging @phoenixflames12 @itsmeagain00 @fuel-prices @cookie-moi @katiedingo @beanabouttownand @baronessblixen + anyone else who might be interested :)
Your word is TIDES.

P.S. You’re an amazing artist btw and I keep going ooooh and ahhhhh to all these pretty nemo arts I find on my dash (even in fandoms I know nothing about 😂😍❤️) and p.s.s. Thank you for the recent deluge of Norrington-Deserved-Better posts because 1) #Facts and 2) I don’t think I’m gonna be able to watch Pirates of the Caribbean again without writing some sort of fix it fic because pffffft the elf moonlighting as a pretty boy pirate? Really, Lizzie? 😂🤣
ok, first of all OMG OMG OMG, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR KIND WORDS ABOUT MY ARTWORKS!!😭😭😭😭I am but an hobbist on her way to improve so that I can draw my fictional lovelies the way I want and the way they deserve!! and now, onto James with Elizabeth:
pffffft the elf moonlighting as a pretty boy pirate? Really, Lizzie?
Tumblr media
PRECISELY THAT. Good gods, I am still so salty about HOW the whole thing went down, like, the Dead Sea GOT NOTHING on me, in regards of levels of salinity.
Like, don't get me wrong, I don't mind Will Turner and his whole character arc but just.....
ELIZABETH HAD A JANE AUSTEN'S MAN RIGHT THERE.
RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER.
TOTALLY SMITTEN WITH HER.
JAMES HAD LITERALLY HEART EYES EACH TIME SHE WAS AROUND HIM.
Tumblr media
Look at THE DIGNITY with which he accepts that Elizabeth will NOT be by his side, you can see the moment his HEART BREAKS.
Such Gentleman. Such an honorable soul. You have right there a YOUNG COLONEL BRANDON, standing on the sidelines, watching the love of his life falling for a man that's not him, AND ALL HE DOES IS WISH THEM BOTH VERY HAPPY. He just wishes to see Elizabeth happy, even if he is not the reason for that happiness.
I mean.
Good gods, where are my tissue, because this man deserved SO MUCH MORE. SO MUCH MORE.
If you will ever write a fix-fic for them, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THE GODS, DO TAG ME IN IT, because I need this like I need the air I breathe!!! I HAVE THE POPCORN READY.
