#fic update... sorta.... not really i'm sorry

Heya sorry to disturb ya but talking about AI, how to notice if the writing are ai or not? Imma reader so yeah :P
Sure! I'm really glad that the whole AI discussion seems to actually be making a sort of change here. I sorta expected for my words to fall on deaf ears, but that is not the case. So that makes me really happy!
Anyways, just to make this extra thorough, I consulted with the council (my writing mutuals) to ask their opinions on the best way to tell between AI writing and real writing. To some it may come across as an easy difference to spot, but to others it may not be so obvious. So I hope this does help you and others pick apart the AI from the real work!
AI Art
Red flag number one. To me, this is the most obvious sign. As AI art is a bit more obvious to see. There's usually inconsistencies in lighting, awkward lines, too shiny, oversaturated, etc. If you see someone use AI art as a cover for their story or within the chapters, the user is likely using AI in other ways too. If they're okay with using AI in art, they're probably okay with using AI in writing. Which isn't okay.
2. Pacing
This is also a big one. Writers are busy, we got lives and things to do, believe it or not. So if you see a story or account that's just pumping out heaps of content in a small amount of time, that is highly suspicious.
Of course there's people who can write a lot in a short amount of time or who have the time to write frequently, but I can tell you, if you see a story less than a year old that has HUNDREDS of pages of content, something about that is off. Usually, not all the time, it's AI. Because it's very quick for people to just type prompts and get the AI to make tons of content in a small amount of time when real work actually takes a lot of time.
Just check out the frequency of updates and the amount that is being given with each update, and you can probably make logical conclusions from there.
3. Author Notes/Comments
This is a hit or miss, but I've noticed a pattern here. From the AI fics that I've seen, I assume that most of them are written by users who did not have English as their first language. How can I tell? Their words.
These users might leave a note or a comment, and sometimes it's hardly readable, other times it is readable but there's a lot of mistakes in basic words, and on occasion their English is good but there's still flaws. Yet somehow, they can write pages and pages of a story with perfect English? Yeah, that don't make sense.
4. Writing Style
This is a lengthy one, as there's a lot of telltale signs in the writing itself that can reveal whether or not it's written by AI. I'll be breaking this down into more parts, just because there's a lot here.
Definitions - For this one, I'll give an example, without going into specifics of titles or anything. However, I saw a story recently, where something happened. And the line essentially went "And the crowd gasped– a collective intake of breath." See what's wrong with this line? Why are we, the readers, being told the definition of a gasp? People should know what that is. There's no reason for that to be there. So if a written portion includes a word, then defines what that word is, something is wrong.
Emotion - AI work is very stiff, robotic. It does not portray emotion well, if at all. As I mentioned once before, there's no passion in it. Any emotional scenes AI does write, feels very stale and lifeless. It doesn't invoke emotion as it should.
Characterization - This one is iffy. AI work tends to get characters wrong, like they'll make dialogue for a character but that character would never say that. Or they'll make a character do something but the character would never do that. Things like that. It's because AI doesn't truly grasp characters. The most it'll do is if given a set of character traits, it'll try to emulate that character solely based off the given traits, but often come up with multiple flaws and just totally get the character wrong. However, I say that is iffy because people do write characters differently. Sometimes, people totally write a character wrong and it's not AI.
Vocabulary - Another iffy one, but in all the AI works I've seen, they tend to try to use a high level vocabulary. Iffy because some real writers do write very eloquently with high vocabulary, but usually with AI, it sounds like an essay. You can also include excessive descriptions on this, especially descriptions that don't matter and have no real importance to the story. AI does that a lot.
Tone Shifts - AI doesn't have good memory, for the most part, so they can change tones of the story very quickly that it might seem jarring and out of place. If you look closely, this'll reveal if it's AI or not, especially is the tone shift is accidental and caused by the AI messing up. This can included repeated phrases, which also might seem out of place. It can especially be seen in chapter stories, as one chapter might read or feel a certain way and the next chapter reads completely different. There's no consistency.
Focus - AI tends to focus on tell. Tell and not show, when most writers try to focus on show don't tell. Here's an example, since this one might be hard to conceptualize. AI might write something like "He looked around suspiciously" versus a person who might write "He avoided eye contact, glancing around at anything else but you." See the difference? The first example is tell, the second example is show don't tell.
Long sentences - I have yet to have seen an AI fic with short sentences. All AI fics I've seen thus far have the tendency to write in long sentences.
Okay, I think I covered the basics of everything that was mentioned. At least, that's all that was brought up and could be thought of. I sincerely hope this helps, y'all. Remember, support real writers, not AI users ✨

Some sketches because it's been months since I drew these idiots oops☝️🥰
HI THERE. It's been a minute, sorry about that lol. I took a tiny out-of-nowhere and sorta involuntary break from the fandom because I lost interest for a second, but I'm slowlyyyy making my way back. With art, and some news about Tone Deaf for the people who are still wondering about that.
Also I see there's some asks in my box, I'll get to that eventually, I see you ;-; dw
--------------------
As stated, I momentarily lost a bit of interest with this movie- partially because I've recently been ensnared in a new fixation that will not be named right now, but yeah. I'm digging my heels in rn, because the last thing I wanna do is abandon this project. But, also, I've clearly bitten off more than I can chew with this being a comic lmao. In over my head and going through all 5 stages of grief and currently on acceptance.
The story got bigger. Like, a LOT bigger. Too big to capture every thought in a drawing and panel it and put it out as a perfectly polished comic without seriously burning myself out. It really doesn't help that my art style evolves by the second too apparently, so I've reached a middle-ground:
Tone Deaf is going to be a fic with some comic-like segments in it. An illustrated fanfic bc I still love showing and not telling a little too much.
This'll help me not only get stuff out faster, but also to help me fill in the gaps I didn't know how to draw with just text. So I can focus on just drawing the juicy shit. This also means it'll all be collected over on Ao3 in a neat little package, and I honestly prefer that over having a bunch of posts of pages that might be hard to find. So yeah, that's the plan.
Another bonus is that the frames can now be a lot more polished and nice looking [in glorious color] rather than hastily mashed together due to my bad habit of going overboard on singular frames without realizing it.
--------------------
Tldr; Tone Deaf is technically still gonna be a comic, it's just now gonna be supplemented with word-based fic mixed in because I made the project way too fucking big [the first Act has like 20 chapters I'm going to literally die]. Also it's gonna be on Ao3 and I'll probably be posting all the art here alongside any updates I make so huzzah! Help me :>
#UPDATE POST#Sing: Tone Deaf#sing movie#sing 2016#sing 2021#Buster Moon#Meena sing#Johnny sing#Mike the Mouse#tiny little pictures of Ash and Eddie too heehee#furry art#fanart#anthro#traditional art#sketches#it's been 5 months since I last posted#never let me do that again#also my art style's changed an itty bitty bit#just a little#finally updated how I draw Buster's ears and have an actual method for drawing Johnny >:] still unsure on Meena and Mike#I think this is the final plan for TD#gonna try posting more trust me#uwu#I always come back

hello! ive made this post before but i have some updates to make:))
i'm a six of crows fanfic author who would really appreciate it if you checked out some of my stuff!! VERY FAIR WARNING, I DON'T HAVE A POSTING SCHEDULE AND UPDATES HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO BE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN. but i'm trying!!
my AO3 username is canard729 :)
some random things about my writing that might need to be considered? possibly? idk =
- for every modern!AU i do, the crows are british :) incase that matters to anyone lol
- i write kaz as autistic no matter the AU or story premise! this mostly doesn't affect the story in any way, unless it's specifically about that, as it's just how i write him :P
- i will NEVER write smut!! i'm a minor, the crows are all minors!! not happening!! soc smut is gross. i WILL, however, write like anything else (fluff, angst, AUs, romance, etc)
- i don't write (and won't write unless it's past & one-sided kazper for plot/angst reasons) ships that vary from canon, so anything that isn't kanej, helnik, or wesper. that's just how i roll, sorry! no hate to multishippers 🫶
NOW, here's a list of the fics i do have, their "status", their premise :)
1. the feeding ground - a vampire!AU heist plotline! ongoing, unknown number of chapters to come, currently has 7 chapters!
2. she checks my king til i mate – a modern!AU chess club set in a secondary school (british highschool)! ongoing, unknown number of chapters to come, currently has 3 chapters
3. don't know what i wanted, i have a memory (back at that party, i was all over her) – a modern!AU kanej meet-cute oneshot ♡
4. drowning was drowning. – a canon timeline kanej (sorta, it's there but it's not the focus) oneshot, with a lot of angst and whump! i recommend reading the tags before giving it a go xx
5. when kaz brekker cannot handle change – a canon timeline kaz-centric silly oneshot in which ketterdam is starting to industrialise and he can't keep up for the life of him. and the crows think its so funny
6. je te laisserai des mots (i will leave you words) - a modern!AU kanej oneshot formatted as a voicenote! 1/1 chapters
7. the LEAF project - a fostercare!AU kaz-centric fic! dormant, i probably won't pick it back up. has 4 chapters, unfinished
8. six of crows groupchats <3 – a modern!AU chatfic! dormant, but a remake is currently being considered! 2 chapters, unfinished
9. kaz's second home is the first aid room – a modern!AU kaz-centric pretty angsty school fic! discontinued, only one chapter. it was my first work so i didnt have a plot or plan or anything, hence i never went back to it :p
if you're still reading, thank you so much!! please go check me out on A03 ♡♡
#six of crows#grishaverse#kaz brekker#inej ghafa#jesper fahey#wylan van eck#nina zenik#matthias helvar#fanfic#fanfic authors#ao3#ao3 writer#ao3 works

Its been a year daddy
I really really miss you
Mommy said you went to the store to get milk
Anyways, I'm failing all my classes and mommy hits me very frequently
And she changed my name to Tickle Timpson
Anyways, Daddy, I forgive you for abusing me
🫶💔
H— HELLO, CHILD?? *sweats profusely*
Tickle.. Timpton… uhm… Anyways, hello and good day to you too 🙏 😨
I apologize for not updating in a while!! I’ve kinda sorta maybe potentially lost interest in TWST right now (I’ve been indulging in Alien Stage and TCF instead… Beacrox… Till…💔) but I promise that GRWR is not discontinued! I ask for your patience 🥺 (may or may not be planning a alnst fic but shhh)
Now that I think about it, a hiatus occurred over the winter/early spring of last year as well, haha. I was into Golden Kamuy that time— maybe the cold weather affects how much I hyperfixate on TWST? It snowed where I live today, so it’s not looking too good for y’all 😨
But hey, I did come back! S— so uh.. sorry for abusing you, Tickle Timpton… 🙏 have some milk 👍🥛
I’m hoping to update during the spring break, so I’ll see you all then! ❤️ Stay warm, drink water and eat healthy!

Hey moth! I just read your vampire au in the bsp collection. I absolutely loved every bit of it and I adore your writing style. I was wondering if there were plans to continue that story? Sorry if this has been asked before/if I seem pushy. Thanks!
I'm gonna assuuuuummme this is referring to The Wait is Over, since I definitely updated Moon Snow and Stars last week— but yes! TWO shall continue!!! It marches on!!! I just... uh... need to figure out where tf the plot is going first. Lol. It's at a little speed bump but once I figure that out I'll be good to go.
I've also been ultra-inspired to work on MS&S and Chasing Butterflies for the past few weeks, so they're sorta my main "main projects" for the moment, but after following me for more than a few months, you will find that my main "main projects" swap positions a LOT, lol!
But yes, don't fret! Vampires will continue smooching and crying! They just... probably should have a little more plot before they do! Definitely bookmark or subscribe to that one if you're looking forward to the next update, because I'm CERTAIN I'll continue it out of nowhere with absolutely no warning, lmao.
Thank you for the ask, it doesn't bother me at all, as long as nobody is demanding I update or complaining about the time I take to update, lol. It's perfectly fine to ask if I plan to continue a fic, or let me know which fics you really want to see more of. Y'all commenting on fics and sending asks about the fics you love is the #1 way I decide which fics are at the top of my priority list! So glad you're enjoying my silly fics, btw! :D

Hiiiii :> You said a while back you were gonna try to get the fourth SoM chapter up by June. You also said that we should yell at you if you didn’t.
It’s July.
…
Is this chapter ever coming out should we just assume the fic’s dead what’s the hold-up how much has even been written is there going to be an even longer gap between 3 and 4 does everyone have to stop asking questions so you stop getting distracted when’s the chapter coming out why did you say it would be out by June if—
*Lily is mercifully tranquilized before she can continue*
Hi!! Yep, it's July, no one is more disappointed than me 😅 But hey, might as well give an update!
The TL;DR is basically I've been dealing with a bit of burnout and it's been hard to get anything done, even for fun. But I'm taking a bit more time for myself and planning out a better schedule to take a bit better care of myself, and I really want to get all of my WIPs done and out of the way before my fall semester. So I promise you, SoM 4 is not dead and will exist!! (More in depth answers under the cut)
What's the hold up? To get slightly real on main here, honestly, I've just been a bit burnt out. I know it sounds a little cliche/like a cop out hahaha. I went straight from heavy spring classes into summer classes without giving myself any sort of break time, and I'm starting to feel the effects of these decisions. It's not just the SoM fic, it's been almost every wip I've had working on: The swap AU timeline, the Irratino and Axolotl fic I mentioned a bit ago, SoM 4, the Vampire AU 2 fic, a whole bunch of other drawings I've just been unable to finish, you get the idea. I get a new idea, thinking it'll help me get back into the swing of things, but it just sorta ends up on the pile of WIPs.
Though, I am figuring out how to better organize my schedule to allow for more free time, as well as just trying to get a bit more disciplined in getting this chapter out, rather than procrastinating. I really appreciate your patience in putting up with these waits, and I'm sorry to keep you waiting!
Alongside that, just plot wise, this chapter has been fighting me. Another seemingly cop-out explanation, I know, but it really has been. This chapter has hands but at least I do, too, and will get it done!
Is the chapter ever coming out? Should we assume the fic is dead? Yes, the chapter will come out and no, the fic is not dead! I don't feel right leaving an unfinished work, so I will be getting it done, that I promise.
How much has even been written? 730 words! Is it a lot? No, I'll admit that. But there are words! I haven't forgotten it!
Is there going to be a longer gap between 3 and 4? In terms of storyline? Nope, still a one year gap. Chapter 3 took place in the senior year section, and chapter 4 will take place during Case 50. In terms of publishing? I'll try keep it under three months this time!
Does everyone have to stop asking questions so you stop getting distracted? No need! I do really like questions, and they're fun writing exercises for world building for all my AUs, and I truly enjoy collaborating with y'all ^_^
When’s the chapter coming out? Let's push the deadline to the end of July at the latest. Though, I'll probably just dedicate a day or two to solely work on SoM 4 this week/weekend. I do really want to get it out!
Why did you say it would be out by June (if its not out)? Honestly, I just didn't realize how tired my workload was going to make me. Once again, to get kinda real on main here, I'm usually pretty disciplined and really on top of deadlines. But I just didn't realize how work was wearing on me until pretty recently, to be entirely honest. It's been a slow creep of lacking more and more motivation for schoolwork and personal projects. But like I've said, I'm working on getting back on top of things, and even just admitting I've been working myself a little too hard has been helpful.
Hopefully these explanations make sense and are somewhat satisfying, at least. I wish I could say I got hit with the Ao3 authors curse and got wrecked by a bus or something as a cooler justification, but I've just been really tired. Even for fun things. Even for something as simple as making shitposts. I'm really sorry to have disappointed in not meeting this deadline, and really do appreciate the patience <3

Okay, re-read I Don’t Like Your Girlfriend again because I saw it was getting updated in 2 days (I’M SO EXCITED) and I hate Ava so bad. Not only is she a liar (liars go to hell btw) but she’s always so backhanded and rude to Y/N it’s really truly giving, “I’m not a snob, I’m just better than you are” cheerleader vibes, which is kind of ironic considering she lied to Jay about the letters in order to boost her status to join the team.
On the other end of the spectrum though, I love Sunghoon so bad. He is such a sweetheart (please don’t break his heart) always calling Y/N pretty/pretty girl. Hey.. I would fold too.. annyeong fine shyt. Heeseung and Jake are so cute too being so kind to Y/N. Like yeah, this is how friends treat you btw ❤️ But I also love how Jay stands his ground with Ava, none of that bullshit none miss girl.
I’m so excited to see how the situation pans out. Y/N I hope you gain the confidence to tell Ava to find the two because you are not the one and just ask her to shut the fuck up 🥰 Because in my world, you have two boyfriends and it’s both Jay and Sunghoon and maybe one day, two turns to four and it’ll be Heeseung and Jake 🤩
Ava, I hope once you get found out you’ll do us all a favour and idk.. go away forever.
Sorry, this was sorta long but I’m enjoying this meal called IDLYG and I’m excited to follow along with the updates.
Love you, muah
PS.
This will be Y/N to Ava ❤️

OMG yes! You got Ava's character so perfectly! "I'm not a snob, I'm just better than you are" exactly! That's what Ava is! She's such a hypocrite</3 and I'm just as excited to post part 2😍😍😍
I love Sunghoon in that fic so much, he literally is the loml♡ I didn't even plan for his character to be as important as it got but he was so good I couldn't help😭😭 Poly Hyung line? Sign me please🙏 🙏 it's like a dream come true!!!!!
Let's see what happens with Ava in part 2🤭
Don't be sorry! I've been thinking about this ask ever since I saw it and I keep on giggling while reading it over and over!!! I love love LOVE long feedbacks like this! Like come and gossip with me about my characters I love doing that😭😭
I too love you, Nini♥️♥️ muahhh💋💋
This is Jay throughout part 2 btw 😭😭

When you mentioned that you were planning on posting ch 3 yesterday I stalked your AO3 profile for over an hour before the chapter was posted.
I almost gave up but then I saw that you updated the expected chapter number to 4 and therefore was active. Then I forced myself to do chores for 20 minutes cause otherwise I would have just been refreshing my page until it was posted.
That’s how excited I was for chapter 3. I am more excited for chapter 4. Do not be down on yourself. It was so so good.
Also. I need to know if Carlos smelling like his father’s cologne going to mean something more for the plot. It was mentioned multiple times across two chapters and that Lando both met Carlos Sr. And that it was important. What are you foreshadowing??????
omg... first of all that is SO real of you. also I'm sorry cause the first hour after posting I do the minor editing so you read the typo riddled version 😅😅
okay so. sorta spoilers... first of all I must commend you on noticing that~~
I write fic for myself and I sprinkle in some references for close friends that we catch. and carlando sr is like an inside joke (not joke. real ship.)
so metatextually it can refer to carlos being under his father's shadow/literally working for him while hes a rallying legend, and even with the food stuff we've established that lando is sensitive to textures/smells so it's really Of Note that the thing he remembers most about carlos is that he wore his dad's cologne. and you know how a certain smell can take you back in time/memory? and you can end it there
then in this chapter we find out lando has been to carlos' vacation house/has met carlos sr -- and if you want, given the contextual cues of the aftermath of whatever carlos and lando had and lando blocking him everywhere and feeling almost sick to his stomach bumping into him you can choose to interpret it that lando slept with carlos sr after finding out jr has a gf and then felt really bad/guilty about it. I'm not saying that's what happened or didn't, I'm saying you have the freedom to read it that way should you please 🤪😁😁😁 but it's mostly an Easter egg for me and my friends

Hello dear Kit! I hope you are doing well. I just wanna ask for some writing advice. i’m entirely writing a Star Wars X Bridgerton style thick, mostly Colin x Penelope centric and wanted to ask your best tips about riding in the Star Wars alternate universe . I hope you’re doing well and I screeched when I saw the update for Foolproof foolhardy 🥲❤️
ack i really am not the writer to come to for advice on how to write in the star wars universe im sorry </3 not caring so much about the universe's facts and more about its vibes was really the driving force that got me into writing fic in the star wars universe (because otherwise i'm the kind of person to be so paralyzed by the small details like the distance between two planets and can these characters make it between these planets within this timeframe and can i say that alderaan exported tea or should i look up their actual exports and find out who could export tea, etc etc that i wouldn't actually write anything to move the scenes forward)
(but good god am i impressed by the people who are able to and enjoy digging through all the star wars canon details to set the scene perfectly in place, their stories are always awesome without fail)
that being said, if you need planet names, i always just take a celebrity (usually a late night show host) and combine the first syllable of their last names with the first syllable of their first names a la stewjon (jon stewart) (thanks george lucas)
(so planets that i use a lot in my fics are olijon, beesam, colsteph, corjam, etc)
(i read a fic a few months ago that mentioned a planet olijon and i was tickled by either the idea that many people use this naming method when they don't want to look up an actual canon star wars planet OR, sorta less likely, that the fic writer had seen olijon in one of my fics and thought it was an actual star wars planet and used it like they would, say, alderaan <3 )
BUT here is a big star wars resource guide that i saved and then have never looked at: it covers everything from food, to planets, to galactic maps, to star wars name generators to huttese dictionaries so it looks like a good place to start!!!
#asks#good luck!!#and if it feels overwhelming just go back to the vibes#you can always go back to the vibes <3

tl;dr: fics gonna take a while to come out cause mental health so i've been in a bit of a depressive episode for the past month and a half, not gonna get super into it but like i had a really crap march and first half of april and that combined with all the general life stressors of like doing my first job and struggling to see friends as an adult and stuff it's all been a bit. much.
i really wanted to have a consistent update schedule for MMT when i started and i've done a decent chunk of work on the next Moths installment but it has all just sorta been on a stand still since april started. I'm glad I got Scarpenter out and I'm so unbelievably flattered by the response to it, but I was absolutely running on fumes the last few days to get it out and have just been wallowing in burnout since. it's all especially not helped by my wrist injury which makes writing much slower and means i can't really do a lot of my other hobbies
im hoping things are looking up, im trying to make steps to actively improve stuff (mostly involving trying to meet people in my local area and calling my existing friends more) but it is. just a bit of a time. so yeah fics will come out when they come out but i have no idea when that will be, sorry :( (note: i do have an event fic that will be coming out some time next week but im a lil despondent about that one bcus due to the whole mental health thing it's just not gonna be the fic i wanted it to be and im honestly kinda worried it's just gonna be bad ;-; but like c'est la vie innit i guess)

03/06/2025 Progress Update:
TLDR: Chapter 5 is at 19K words, so we wrote about 5K over these past four day. Considering splitting up the chapter into two. Discussed ships that will be included.
I've been sorta jumping around in chapter 5, working on multiple sections at once, so I didn't know how much I'd written since I last checked the word count four days ago. And we're at 19K now.... AND IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE TO DONE GODDAMMITTTTT.
Yeah okay, I'm seriously considering splitting this one into two. God, how many times am I gonna say that lmao? Gonna need a counter. Days Since Kiwi Mentioned Splitting a Chapter: 0
Pros of splitting are 1) the chapter will be done sooner, 2) it'll be not so overwhelming a read, and 3) I won't fucking destroy the beta's time with a fucking crazy long chapter lolll. Con is we wouldn't get to the heist in chapter 5, instead pushing it to chapter 6, and I already feel like I've made people wait long enough for SK and PT to meet... Then again, there will be plenty of SK/Phantom Thief interactions in this fic, so idk. I'm thinking I'll keep going for a bit, then make the final decision after I've got more written. But we are leaning more toward splitting it FYI.
Okay, so this is gonna serve as kind of like a precursor to a possible pinned post on tumblr/updated notes on ao3, but I thought I'd try it out here first. So, after having some conversations with a mutual (which these past few days I've had NUMEROUS conversations with mutuals and it's been so fun EEEK, seriously if anyone who sees these ever wants to message me about random shit, I fucking love it) I wanted to be upfront about what you can expect in terms of ships in this fic. I really don't want to "trick" anyone-- by that I mean withhold certain ships without making you aware I'm withholding them-- because I know that's not really fair to do if the ship is explored. SO, below is some information about what is planned:
SAIOUMA - duh, it's the main one
KAIMAKI - included but rarely focused on (still will be prevalent in any section that includes Kaito, which is quite a few)
OUMAMI - not prevalent enough to include in tags imo and TINY TINY TINY bit included, like probably less than you think after reading chapter 4
SAIMATSU - another extremely small one and mostly implied, could be seen as platonic tbh
??? - This is a secret ship, and the only one I'm going to try not to spoil, if I can help it. This is probably the other most important pairing in this fic other than saiouma; HOWEVER, it serves mostly as a way to drive the plot and connect pieces of the mystery. I would say it's not NEARLY as explored as an actual couple as saiouma is, and a lot of it is implied. Hints of this ship will start sprinkling in soon and will be pretty openly-revealed by chapter 11. By then, however, the ship will serve the purpose of furthering Shuichi and Kokichi's story and not to spend time on this other ship. All just to say it's important, but this isn't a ??? ship fic.
My primary desire in divulging this is to be open and honest about the existence of certain pairings, and that one is yet to be revealed; I just don't want to waste your time. SO hopefully that helped with your decision to keep reading or not, which is yours to make either way :)
Anyway, sorry we're rambling again. It's my favorite hobby.
I'm so hopeful to get a lot of this chapter done this weekend. I'm really feeling this one, truly. The Rantaro conversation(s) are where I want them to be finally and the detective-ing is fun and the heist is already pretty much written lmao so we're going full-speed ahead!! Just gotta connect everything. Specifically, I don't have the second sub-section of the first section entirely written, the second sub-section of the second section written, and the heist needs to be fleshed out (was that confusing?? probably) I also had an idea of a short conversation between Kokichi and Shuichi that I'm thinking about including, so we might have ANOTHER sub-section in section two lmao. This one is pretty dialogue heavy, FYI.
ALRIGHT ACTUALLY I'M DONE YAPPING SORRY. I hope you have a goodnight, so fucking happy it's Friday tomorrow yessss.
#thwwichphantomthief#kiwi’s void journal#i can't think of anything funny to say whoops#OH NO ACTUALLY my sister read “Dear Saihara” on ao3 and she's telling me I need to read it cuz it's sad af#my sister does not read much fanfiction soooo you know it's gonna be sad if she recommends it lol#I just read the first couple lines and was like... mmmm writing style isn't for me#but I think that might be unfair to say if the story is really good#and I'm pretty picky lmao

It’s your gal sophie here, and I come bearing a sorta long ask. I’m going to pack a lot of things into this so it might feel a bit rambly-
Firstly, CONGRATULATIONS ON THE NOMINATIONS!!!!
You deserve it, really. The amount of time and thought you put into your fics is absolutely unfathomable, and updates literally make my whole week.
Secondly, the latest Dolce chapter has me literally spiraling, I’m so excited for the next one! (take your time btw, there’s still a good two weeks until I start rereading and making theories about what happens next)
(You’re really dropping chapters like Nico drops surprise songs tho)
I also went through your ENTIRE tumblr just now, so here are a few observations I had.
You’ve said that in the Dolceverse Silena is a singer/songwriter under the name VALENTINA. I don’t think you’ve mentioned it in Dolce, so I was thinking that you could just plop that name in there sometime.
The song ‘Free Now’ by Gracie Abrams was suggested for Will on JULY TWELFTH. It’s been half a year, and just now it’s been mentioned in Chapter 43. I would’ve forgotten it at this point
Your first post was on June 27, 2024. It’s been half a year-ish.
Lastly, I have a request. The two chapters of ‘stars, hide your fires’ that have been released are pretty lengthy, and I’ve had to read both chapters over the course of a couple days to finish them. (Still working on the second one.) Could you possibly make them shorter? I know they aren’t always going to be this length, but right now it’s really hard to start them because of the rather intimidating word count.
Love your works, love your writing, and love your personality. Mwah<333
P.S. I know I sound like a stalker, I PROMISE I'M NOT, I’m just really invested. Plus pls excuse me for any weird grammar, I am writing this at one AM.
Hi Sophie!
First off, I love rambles—they are so fun to read and answer. Here's a ramble in exchange :)
I'm still in shock over just how many nominations I got, especially the Author of the Year nomination in my first year of posting fics! LIKE WHAT?!! Whatever the results, I'm super proud and very grateful to everyone who votes <3
The latest Dolce chapter marks the beginning of the very last act of Dolce and that is such a bittersweet feeling. (Also, I smile every time I see your rereading comments, I think you've read Dolce more than I have at this point!)
I don't mind a bit of good natured tumblr stalking, though it might expose how frequently I've pushed back chapter releases lol. Anyway...
Good pick up! So Silena (or VALENTINA) actually had a fairly big part in the secondary storyline for Dolce Dissonance that I decided to cut. So, she won't appear and there is a reason why I've chosen not to mention her at all. I do still have plans for her in the Dolce universe though (eventually).
Has it really been half a year?! That tells you how long Free Now has been sitting in my chapter outline waiting for the latest chapter to be written. Shout out to @solitaire-addict for the great song rec! <3
I started posting my fics on April 20th, 2024 which feels like SUCH a long time ago but really it hasn't even been a full year. And then it took me a few more months to get on tumblr, but I'm so glad I did, I think answering asks might be one of my fav things.
And lucky last: 'stars, hide your fires'. The chapters are intimidating to write, too. But I've been wanting to challenge myself to write a long-chaptered fic for a while now, and Stars felt like the perfect opportunity since its very action heavy. So TLDR, they're kind of intentionally long? Future chapters will continue to average around 10K. This won't the case for all my future fics, I will continue to have a little mix of everything to suit different readers. If you'd like I could post a version of Stars that splits each chapter into 3-4 shorter chapters over on my wattpad? Would that make it less intimidating? Let me know...
Also sorry in advance for when you finish Stars Chapter 2 :) Thank you for the ask and of course, for reading along x
More stories to come,
~ Sarc

INTRO POST! FINALLY!
I’m probably forgetting some stuff, so this might get updated.
My name is Cas! I use he/they pronouns, idrc which ones you use. I’m asexual omniromantic, and I’m transmasc and nonbinary! I'm also AuDHD. If you’ve been w me long enough, you’ll remember when my url was something different. Fun fact I actually never posted about that change so y’all just had to figure it out for yourselves. I used to be fandomtrash67, back when my blog was just reblogs and likes and nothing important, when I was only on here like once a month.
I have personal tags! cas has thoughts is my original posts, but not all of them. The site I used to sort through the frankly copious amounts of reblogs I have still filtered out when I had full thoughts in the reblog, so it's missing some. cas does things is my polls and asks and shit. cas writes things is my writing tag.
THIS POST IS MY MAGNUM OPUS: X
This is mostly a Doctor Who blog, ngl, but I’ll randomly post about some other fandoms too (which are listed below). 12 is my favorite Doctor. My biggest ships, in order, are: Thoschei (literally insane about them. Mostly twissy, but all variations too), 12clara (I also fw 11clara), and Timepetals (all variations).
I am a destiel sleeper agent, they will show up randomly.
I am a fic writer, but I’m sorta inconsistent on my posting. Find me here: X
Unfortunately, I am American, so US politics will show up sometimes. Shit fucking sucks.
FANDOMS/SHIPS BELOW CUT
Buckle up, because this is my insanely long fandom/ships list! IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER! BOLD IS MY FAVS! THIS IS REALLY FUCKING LONG!! (The bold is only showing up for me on desktop and not mobile, so sorry if it's like that for yall too)
Supernatural, Doctor Who, Haven, Grimm, Grey’s Anatomy/Station 19, Scream, Heartstopper, First Kill, PJO and all associated fandoms, Lie to Me, Good Omens (I do not support Neil Gaiman), Marvel, Helluva Boss/Hazbin Hotel, My Hero Academia, X-Men, Lord of the Rings, Saw, Once Upon a Time, House MD, Daredevil & The Punisher, The Last of Us
Ships that got me fucked up! Bold are from bold fandoms or I just really love them. / is romantic, & is platonic.
Dean Winchester/Castiel (Supernatural), Dewey Riley/Gale Weathers (Scream), Tony Stark & Peter Parker (MCU), Nathan Wuornos/Audrey Parker (Haven), Cal Lightman/Gillian Foster (Lie to Me), Cal Lightman & Emily Lightman (Lie to Me), Loki/Mobius (Loki/MCU), Aziraphale/Crowley (Good Omens), Gabriel/Beezlebub (Good Omens), Maggie/Nina (Good Omens), Charlie Morningstar/Vaggie (Hazbin Hotel), Angel Dust/Husker (Hazbin Hotel), Charlie Morningstar & Lucifer Morningstar (Hazbin Hotel), Stolas Goetia/Blitz (Helluva Boss), Rose Tyler/Any Doctor (Doctor Who), Clara Oswald/11 or 12 or fuck it throw 13 in there (Doctor Who), 12th Doctor & Bill Potts (DW), 10th Doctor/Simm!Master (DW), 12th Doctor/Missy (DW), 13th Doctor/Dhawan!Master (DW), 13th Doctor/Yasmin Khan (DW), 13th Doctor/Yasmin Kahn/Dhawan!Master (DW), River Song/Any Doctor, but mostly 11 (DW), 10th Doctor & Donna Noble (DW), 12th Doctor/Missy/Clara Oswald (DW), Clara Oswald/Ashildr (Lady/Mayor Me) (DW), Amy Pond/Rory Williams (DW), Charles Xavier/Erik Lehnsherr (X-Men), Agatha Harkness/Rio Vidal (Agatha All Along/MCU), Aragorn/Legolas (Lotr), Lawrence Gordon/Adam Faulker-Stanheight (Saw), Amanda Young/Lynn Denlon (Saw), Peter Strahm/Mark Hoffman (Saw), Gregory House/James WIlson (House MD), Wade Wilson/Logan Howlett (Deadpool and Wolverine), Billy Loomis/Stu Macher (Scream), Sidney Prescott/Tatum Riley (Scream), Tara Carpenter/Amber Freeman (Scream), Randy Meeks/Mickey Altieri (Scream), Kirby Reed/Jill Roberts (Scream), Kirby Reed/Samantha Carpenter (Scream), Regina Mills/Emma Swan (Once Upon a Time), Matt Murdock/Foggy Nelson (Daredevil), James Wesley/Vanessa Fisk/Wilson Fisk (Daredevil [and also all the individual pairings within that]), Karen Page/Frank Castle (Daredevil), Joel & Ellie (The Last of Us [show]), Ellie/Dina (The Last of Us)

writing update for anyone who wants one ✨
Hello! I thought it was time for a little writing update, as I have a lot of requests still left to do, many from quite a while ago, and I hadn't posted much recently due to work and a vacation!
under the cut for anyone who wishes to know!
requests marked with an asterisk (*)
currently done - to be posted in the following order:
*Larissa x reader go to a pumpkin patch (I really want to post this tomorrow, Saturday at the latest if I don't feel well again tomorrow)
Lipstick Stains ch 12
A smutty little surprise for Kinktober!
*Phasma x reader feat. Hanahaki Disease trope (hurt/no comfort)
*Brienne x reader songfic to Strange by Celeste (hurt/comfort)
currently working on:
Lipstick Stains ch 13
*Larissa x principal!reader (okay listen I know I've been working on this for actual ages now and I'm almost done, hoping to post next week and as soon as it is finished I will squeeze it into the 'to be posted' schedule asap)
*Another smutty fic for Kinktober, so y'all don't leave my blog empty-handed ;)
next in line:
I have a lot of requests to choose from and will try to go in order of receiving them as much as I can, inspiration and appropriateness taken into account. I also have some ideas of my own hehe. Some fics I might be taking a look at:
*Larissa x reader, reader is a new openly lesbian teacher who helps Larissa realize she's gay
*Brienne x reader, domestic fluff!
*Jane Murdstone x singer!reader
*Larissa x reader, where reader suffers with vaginismus
Brienne x aggressive!reader
Jane Murdstone, sorta sickfic?
Anyway, thank you for being so patient with me. Writing/posting with a full-time job, a chronic illness and whilst trying to have a social life is not the easiest and I'm sorry if it takes me a long time to get to your request or update my series but I am seriously so thankful for everyone who is patient and kind and encouraging, and who continues to support my fics and send me requests and lovely messages. I never thought I would start posting fics publicly, let alone connect personally with so many people because of that, but it makes my heart very happy 🥰

your feelings are totally valid i have 50 drafts and nearly 30 inbox requests, we're in the same boat here
never feel pressured into writing fics when you dont want to/feel motivated too nor are you annoying for giving an update <3
(sorry im drunk and its 2:30am)
Sammy!! I love you so much!!! ❤️
Don't worry about me feeling pressure, I don't really, I just hate looking at the big number of drafts lol, and I don't want people to think I'm ignoring them. Plus, I sorta miss writing x reader and banging out drabbles and oneshots rather than full chapters.
I hope you're having fun, but don't forget to take care of yourself! Drink water, take Advil and get some rest, honey. 💕
