Put Your Records On

submitted by: anonymous

Put Your Records On (585476 words) by @granger4013 Chapters: 24/24 Fandom: Warehouse 13 Rating: Mature Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Myka Bering/Helena "H. G." Wells, Myka Bering/Sam Martino, Steve Jinks/Liam Napier Characters: Myka Bering, Helena "H. G." Wells, Claudia Donovan, Pete Lattimer, Steve Jinks, Vanessa Calder, Sam Martino, Liam Napier Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Music Store Series: Part 1 of The Warehouse Anthologies Summary: Myka Bering is a Colorado Springs institution. Her record store is a mecca for any and all who loved music in town, right down to the crazy kids she lets rehearse inside. Myka likes her life, it's comfortable. However, when Claudia declares that she has found a lead singer for the band she plays in with Steve and Pete at the store, Myka Bering's comfortable life is upended, because that declaration is what brings Helena Wells into Myka's life. Suddenly, with Helena around Myka is reliving parts of her life that she would rather forget, and becoming quickly convinced that this woman is going to change everything about her life.

Please tell us why you like this fic so much!

The best AUs, for me, are those in which the characters are still themselves, in a different setting - *informed* by that different setting. Like, they're not just transplanted, but the author took time and care to really dig into "how would this character be if they were *here* instead of there? What changes would that bring, and what would stay the same?" This is one such AU. I don't know how often I've read this; a dozen times? More? It is atmospheric, so well-written, long, completed; one of the masterpieces of this fandom, I daresay.

And also, Myka's endearment for Helena is SWAGGER. Like, endearments are always difficult, but SWAGGER. I will never be over that.

Happy Bering & Wells-mas @granger4013! (click to enlarge)

[lonely-night]

granger4013 replied to your post “a little help here? Should I keep writing with one person’s POV or...”

Whichever perspective works as you're writing. I always have the goal of sticking with one POV but then realize that I really, really want to know what's going on with the other person, so I tend to switch.

guess I’m gonna keep switching POV

thanks for the advice :D

Questions for Bering and Wells fan fic writers/authors

(since I don’t know which word you prefer (writer/author), I’m including both!)

Okay, so I've got this website which I want to fill with awesome info about this fandom, and one of the highlights is the amazing creators we have, who I would love to showcase! This here is a post for writers/authors; I'll make another one for creators of visual art (paintings/drawings, GIFs, videos) as well.

I'm tagging fan fic authors/writers that I know here on Tumblr - of course answering is absolutely voluntary! If you don't want your answers to be featured on my website but only here, that's absolutely fine, just let me know. Equally if you don't want to answer here but would rather only be featured on the website, you can send the answers to me via message or in an email (jana at bering-and-wells dot com). Whichever you prefer is fine with me.

Also, if there are some questions you don't want to answer, or if there's stuff you wanna talk about that I haven't asked - please feel free! Also also, if you weren't tagged but are an author/writer and you wanna answer these, please also feel free and I'm sorry I didn't tag you!

And now, without further ado, the questions!

How did you get into Warehouse 13/Bering and Wells? What do you love about the show/ship, what woke your interest, what kept it going?

When did you start writing for them? Do you still write for them, or have you moved to other fandoms/ships? (no worries either way, it's absolutely fair to move on!)

What do you/did you like about writing for Bering and Wells? What motivates/motivated you to write for them?

What kinds of stories do you or did you write for Bering and Wells? Happy endings or sad endings? Hurt/comfort, plot fics, AUs, kid fics, fix-its, smut, ���?

Do you or did you write other ships in the Warehouse 13 fandom, like Cleena? If so, is it or was it difficult or easy to focus on that ship instead of Bering and Wells?

Have you created or are you still creating other forms of fan art for Bering and Wells/Warehouse 13, like GIFs, videos, paintings? Do you wanna show it off (share a link)?

Do you have a favorite story, or a story you’re proudest of, and would you tell us which it is?

Has writing for Bering and Wells made a difference in your writing? (changed your story forms or lengths, for example)

What do you/did you find easy to write for them; what is/was hard or challenging? Do you feel you have a good grip on the two main characters; is one of them more elusive than the other?

What's your writing style? Planner, Pantser, Plantser? Do you work with a beta? Have you ever co-written a story with someone else, and how did that experience go?

What was the most memorable interaction you had with someone on one of your fics (comments, fan art, friendship through fic…)?

What are your favorite kind of stories/story tropes for Bering and Wells, either to write or to read? What are stories or tropes that you don't like (or can't stand) to write or read for them?

What are your favorite Bering and Wells stories from other authors/writers? What do you like about these stories?

And now, the tags - some of you I follow, some I got from the Manual - again, if you don't find your name here but still want to answer, please absolutely do!

Merry Bering and Wells-mas, @deathtodickens!!!

May all of your Christmases be bright, merry, and full of love and friendly artifacts :)

If this isn't Granger4013’s Put Your Records On, I'll eat my hat. (Such a wonderful fic, and this beautiful gifset made me think of it immediately!)

Writing questions.

Not tagged, but saw @nerdsbianhokie answer so i thought I'd join in even though my muses have escaped me for a long while. (Classical and instrumental IS the only way to go. Audiomachine does wonders if you haven't listened.)

1) How many works in progress do you currently have in progress?

Zero. My writing has failed me for many years now.

2) Do you/would you write fanfiction?

Yes, I have. When I want to write anymore, it's usually fanfic ideas.

3) Do you prefer paper books or e-books?

PAPER. Paper. P.a.p.e.r. paper.

4) When did you start writing?

I am an original 'Shipper. If that doesn't answer it, circa 1994.

5) Do you have someone you trust that you share your work with?

Ehhhm.....

6) Where is your favorite place to write?

At a desk whether it's paper and pen or fingers to keyboard.

7) Favorite childhood book?

The Black Stallion by Walter Farley. I still have my war beaten copy somewhere.

8) Writing for fun or publication?

Both. I had a poem published once upon a time. I would love to get a short story or novel started/finished.

9) Pen and paper or computer?

When I began, pen and paper. Later, I much preferred F

a keyboard because my fingers tapping can keep up with my mind much better than pushing a pen around.

10) Have you ever taken any writing classes?

Yes, a long while ago. Do I regret going to school for horses, you ask...?

11) What inspires you to write?

Music. I'll hear a piece - classical and instrumental score for movies and the like - and I'll just see something in my head that goes along needing to be written down.

No pressure, but I'd love to see @granger4013 @apparitionism @darkstarsrising @princesscharming1983 answer if they'd like to play.
