Akutagawa finds Atsushi's strength attractive. He has an unusual way of showing it.

For SSKK week.

Fanfiction Ask Game

I was tagged by @lalaurelia. Thanks, this was fun!

At what age did you start writing fanfiction? 40.

Who is your favorite author? I wish this was a Top Twenty list, that would definitely be easier. I shall name two:

Terry Pratchett, whose Discworld novels and Bromeliad Trilogy (Truckers, Diggers, Wings) are excellent. His stories are full of humor in the face of adversity, satirical, great storytelling, compellingly quirky and memorable characters. The pinnacle of fantasy to which I can only aspire.

P.G. Wodehouse, writer of the stories featuring the cheerful hair-brained Bertie Wooster and his brilliant, unflappable manservant Jeeves. Loved them since I was a child, and incidentally a great education in 1920s slang. So incredibly funny. Bertie or one of his pals gets into a fix, Jeeves figures out how to bail them out again, a tried and true formula with endless silly variations that never fail to entertain.

What is your favorite fanfic? I need a Top Fifty list for this one! I've read so many wonderful fanfics that they've almost ruined regular books for me. Here's four:

Filigree by Hunger4Righteousness ( https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6878198/1/Filigree  ) A retelling of the Megamind movie, mostly behind the scenes action involving Roxanne, so it's a lot of absolutely awesome stuff. Riveting. Rated M.

The Overlord's Lady by @joanhello2 ( https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10224583/1/The-Overlord-s-Lady) A divergence from the movie in which Megamind, instead of creating Tighten, begins meeting with Roxanne as he struggles to deal with his remorse, and consequently becomes a true leader of the city. Superb worldbuilding, great action. Rated M.

Dreams of Lace and Satin series by @pamdizzle (  https://archiveofourown.org/series/1024157 ) Collection of Gotham fanfics. Oswald begins a journey of self-love and acceptance, with a little help from his collection of male lingerie, and builds a loving relationship with Jim Gordon. It is glorious. Sweet and sexy. Mostly rated E, some works in the series rated M.

Imagination Infection series by @lalaurelia (genmitsu on AO3) (  https://archiveofourown.org/series/1060598 ) Another fabulous collection. It starts out with some anonymous sexting between Oswald (unaware of who is really on the other end of the line) and Jim (who is completely aware), and quickly expands from there. True confessions, hurt/comfort, guilt and angst, heady passion, the works. Ratings vary from T to E.

What tags do you avoid like the plague? I tend to avoid tags with Nygmobblepot, and Death of a Major Character.

What AU do you wish to write but feel like you won't manage?  I haven't done many AUs, but sometimes I get the urge to combine Gotham with the Hunger Games. A herculean effort beyond my energy levels.

What has been your favorite story to write so far? Stepping Out, my teen Megamind tale. There's a lot of fun stuff in there, and it was my first major multi-chapter story. And for the Gotham fandom Cease-Fire was a lot of fun, though it gets a little angsty.  Has a happy ending!

Do you prefer to write one-shots or multi-chapters? Why? I feel I've gotten a little better at one-shots, but they constantly keep trying to grow into much longer tales. I prefer multi-chapters, mainly because it gives me more time to tell the story.

What is your favorite kind of comment? All comments, but I especially love it when someone mentions one specific thing that they thought was funny, or something that struck a chord, or just liked.

Why did you start writing fanfiction? Why are you still writing it? It all started with the Megamind movie. While searching online for news of a sequel (sadly not forthcoming) I stumbled across LiveJournal and discovered the wider world of fandom. Growing up, I was a lonely girl geek, and I never even heard of 'fandom' or 'fanfiction' or 'shipping' in my entire life, until Megamind and LiveJournal came along. I was forty years old. Perhaps it was a midlife crisis, but if so, it hasn't stopped yet.

I adored Megamind and Roxanne, was blown away by the stories and art, produced by regular people just like me, which were heartfelt and brilliant. Ideas came to me. I wrote them down. I started writing stories to go with those ideas. And it has continued from there. I am still writing fanfiction because I love it, even when it's hard, and I love the characters about whom I write. When Gotham came along I was seized with similarly powerful feelings for Oswald Cobblepot as for Megamind (in some ways they’re very different, and yes I realize Oswald is an unrepentant murderous little shit, but I love him anyway) and when I saw the Gobblepot tag on AO3 my immediate response was YAS THIS IS MY SHIP, and I began getting story ideas for the Oswald/Jim pairing as well.

I tag @elf-kid2 @pamdizzle @sunlitroom @joanhello2 @thegreenfairy13 and anyone else who would like to join in. (I’m sure I’m overlooking someone...)

Summary: Oswald wants to show Jim something. It's not what Jim expects - and it's going to bring some changes in their relationship. Yes. It's exactly as cheesy as it sounds.

@lalaurelia and I somehow ended up writing this crack fic, inspired by this. Yes, yes, it’s a real product, I can testify that. :))

厳密に言うと、トマトは果物です。 - Technically, a tomato is a fruit.

厳密に言うと、トマトは果物です。 (Genmitsu ni iu to, tomato wa kudamono desu) - Technically, a tomato is a fruit.

厳密 (Genmitsu) - Strictness, closeness (na-adjective: strict/close)

に (Ni) - Particle to make a noun/na-adj into an adverb

言う (Iu) - To speak

と (To) - “If” particle

トマト (Tomato) - Tomato

は (Wa) - Topic marker

果物 (Kudamono) - Fruit

です (Desu) - Polite present copula

---

厳密に言うと could also be translated as “strictly speaking,” and in fact that aligns up rather closely with the Japanese translation as well.

There are a number of “set phrases” with 言う like this (簡潔に言うと, kanketsu ni iu to, to put it briefly; 簡単に言うと, kantan ni iu to, to put it simply). It’s not uncommon to write these without using the kanji for 言う either, just in hiragana (~にいうと).

Atsushi had to spend a whole week without Akutagawa. When he finally returns, things get very heated.

For SSKK week.

[lalaurelia]

Akutagawa enjoys leaving marks on Atsushi. What if he finds a mark he's not sure is his?

For SSKK week.

[lalaurelia]

So the scene where Akutagawa bit Atsushi was stuck in my brain. I think Atsushi should masturbate about it.

[lalaurelia]

Continuing the somewhat inconsistent tradition of posting fic on my bday. Hope you enjoy this.

Jim, Oswald, and a conversation.

[lalaurelia]

Jim has a new case with a connection to Oswald. He also wants to be connected to Oswald. Must be spring at work.

Or, a bit of a case fic with some flirting included. Hope you like it.

[lalaurelia]

Tiger, Tiger, burning bright~

Anyway, here's chapter 5.

[lalaurelia]

Have a chapter 2 of the post-BEAST thingy. There's a bit of farmwork and - hm, might that be pining?

[lalaurelia]

Post-BEAST finale, Atsushi returns to Yokohama.

For SSKK week.

~

Okay, turns out I'm unsuited to writing in past tense for a long time, I miss the immediacy of the present too much. So, yeah, there's that.

[lalaurelia]

I think they're flirting, Your Honour.

Please enjoy chapter 6.

[lalaurelia]

Have a chapter 4.

Mixed feelings. Mixed signals, too.

[lalaurelia]

Have a chapter 3, loves

[lalaurelia]

so i went and wrote it in the end.

it's a self-indulgent pwp, so, yeah, you know.

Mafia boss Atsushi and his bodyguard Akutagawa.
