In honor of Valentine’s :) can kishi write romance?

only unintentionally uwu..

the actual serious answer.. i think there are moments that hit for me but over all most of the romance tends to fall very flat..

[majormiles]

Hello hello :) 26 & 30 for the ask game! Hope 2024 brings you joy and happiness, thank you for your inspiring work!! 😌

2023 year in review: fic writer asks! (Thanks, and you too!)

26. If you had to choose one, what was THE most satisfying writing moment of your year?

Oh easy, writing the entirely of Hotspur start to finish! Took me 8 months lol. When I finished that final chapter of act 5, man... that feeling✨✨ I just proved to myself that I can plan and write out an entire novel if I put my mind to it...

30. What’s something that you want to write in 2024?

A novel lmao. Seriously though, a novel that isn't a fanfic is next on my agenda. Will I ever actually make it happen? Who knows! I didn't manage this year 😅 I'm very good at starting projects, getting a few chapters in, 15k ish, and then abandoning them!

[jvnart]

People I'd like to know better!

@ficklecat tagged me in this fun thing :) i'm very flattered to even cross your mind!

Last song: Shit - Bo Burnham

Favourite colour: Violently hot pink, eye-burning tier, this range vvv

Currently watching: Naurto war arc again because who needs a personality when i can just watch that over & over again JJK & Criminal Lawyer Reacts lol

Last movie/tv show: I just caught up on JJK & I'm thinking about Tojo A Lot. He's perfect. Perfect son, treasure him forever.

Spicy/savoury/sweet: Spicy, I've destroyed my life & cannot enjoy normal flavor ranges. if shit isn't spicy, strong, or bitter (glowing an evil red from the amount of spice, stout beers, black coffee, ect), it's not my favorite. idk, i wish i didnt do this to myself lmao I don't like sweet things very much at all.

Relationship status: Married to Local Kakashi PFP @doktorventure for like a long time now wowee (11 years this month, bananas) He's likes enough sweet shit for the both of us tho, taking one for the team (He is the one on the left, I am the one who refuses to have photos taken of my face :) but the arcade cabinet had our name on it so i caved lmao also this photo is old as fuck ash has his throat tattooed now, it's weird seeing it naked)

Current obsession: eheheh (it's naruto & it wont let me go please someone call my mom i want to go home)

Last thing you googled: The train that runs in the town I was born in to show my European friend how useless TX infrastructure is :) We had a good laugh

Tagging: eheheing once again because I want to know everyone but I am not brave enough to tag people

Feel free to ask me more things about myself & I'll answer to the best of my ability :3

@ficklecat did i say be patient cause i have other stuff to do first? cause apparently what i really meant is don't worry, i'll drop everything else to draw this right away.

[majormiles]

🍬🌻🔮 for the fanfic asks! :) hope you’re having a great day!! 🥰

I almost lost a fight with an extremely stubborn jar lid this morning, so it’s definitely been A Day! From Fanfic Writer Ask Game

Do you write for multiple fandoms? If yes, what is your favourite fic of yours for each fandom?

Actively, no! I tend to only write in one fandom at a time, although sometimes I dabble in multiple at once.

I definitely have written in multiple fandoms over the years. I would say I’m most well known for my Trek, Naruto, and One Piece fic. Other fandoms I’ve only dabbled in once or twice, including Haikyuu, Star Wars, FMA, Final Fantasy…

So, to avoid this being an exhaustive list, I’ll just have a think for those three. Hm…

For Naruto, I think HIEROPHANT was my magnum opus. I definitely feel like it’s the best written fic of the bunch. It’s an AU where Kakashi gets a byakugan instead of a sharingan. I drew up a whole Hyuga family tree and made a bunch of OCs, most of which never appeared in the fic. That was fun! I really enjoy writing complicated family relationships.

For Trek, it has to be the one with the wife, which I know is a fic a lot of people will not read. It was extremely self indulgent and I still think about this ‘verse all the time. I wrote it for me. Purely, for myself.

For One Piece… god. I have no idea. It’s been a few years and I have a sieve for a brain. I remember having a lot of fun writing into flame but I think if I re-read it now, it would all be new to me.

Which leads into the next question!

How often do you read your own fics?

I don’t… tend to. Especially my older stuff - anything older than a couple of months may as well not exist in my brain lol. I think this is partly because my writing is constantly improving and looking back at older works makes me notice all of the things I could have done better. And partly I think I just… am not sentimental about fic at all. I’ve been known to remove works from ao3. I have no attachment to them lol, yes, even Hotspur, which I’ve just finished after 8 months of writing! Is that weird?

Sometimes, I get comments on really old stuff which I really appreciate, but I often don’t remember the fic at all. Once, I was trawling through ao3 in a tag and I found a fic and started reading it and it was weirdly nostalgic? So I scrolled up and I’d written it lmaoo. I had NO memory of doing so. Not the wildest thing to ever happen to me on ao3, but it’s up there.

Any advice for writers working through burnout or writer’s block?

Oh man. I get writer’s block all the time and, for me at least, it’s usually a sign that I need a break. And so I take heed! I try not to stress too much because I know I will get back into writing when I’m ready. I mean, I can’t imagine not writing you know, and if you are also like that, that writing is a part of you, then the writer’s block will pass. I get mini writer’s block every time I finish something - it’s like my brain’s giving me a moment to process haha

But some other advice is, if you still want to write, write something else. Stop whatever you’re doing and pick up something new. I find I get hit by writer’s block less if I’m more flexible about switching between fics or projects - I can use the time stuck on one fic to work on the other. Maybe that will work for you!

I was tagged by @edai-crplpnk! 😄

Please share your last sentence; or, if you don't have one, share a plot bunny or idea!

- baby, if you were words on a page, you'd be fine print, Chapter 4

After tucking away the note and his letter for tomorrow’s post, he glances at the bare wall opposite the desk and decides he will frame the leaf there. It will remind him of Lee and spring in Suna, as much as it had reminded Lee of him. 

Tagging @professional-gay-hermit @ficklecat and @nightingaleflow if you want to join in!

People I'd like to know better!

I was tagged by @ficklecat (one of my very favorite fic writers, go read their stuff!! It's so good!!) Thank you for tagging me! I know you tagged me on my main but I wanted to do it here instead since I'm more active on this blog rn. I'm terrible at doing these lol

Last song: Pink Diamond - Charli xcx

Favourite colour: purple 💜💜

Currently watching: nothing right now actually. I think the last show I finished was Blue Eye Samurai. I really liked that and would love to talk about mizu being trans with anyone else who has seen it lol

Last movie/tv show: I watched the Pope's Exorcist yesterday on a recommendation from a friend. It's great, you should see it. Russel Crowe is doing an Italian?? accent and riding around on a little moped. Also, they used the Templar symbol from Dragon Age to represent the actual Templars?? It's good

Spicy/savoury/sweet: Spicy!! I'm not the type to get extra spicy food, but I put some kind of spice in basically everything I eat. I also love bitter foods. Maybe I just have a kind of weak sense of taste because I want all my food to have strong flavors.

Relationship status: married 💞 we just celebrated our 8th anniversary on Halloween!!

Current obsession: hmmm I'm actually not sure. I've been thinking of taking some classes at a local university just to learn about some things I didn't study in college. I've been really interested in geology for a while but was a humanities major so I didn't take a lot of science classes. I found some lectures from a geology class at a university in Oregon that I watched lol. I want more of that.

Last thing you googled: League of Pigs! There's a guy in the UK who makes videos of pigs racing on tracks in the woods and they are so cute!! They have jerseys for each of the pigs and I'm thinking of getting one. Bear Trotsky is my girl! She doesn't run or jump very well but she's super cute!!!
