This month we’re showcasing an author in the fandom who has written popular works such as Journey To The Past and Spoilers, Darling!. You can find Ali on ao3 as theloverneverleaves and on tumblr as isabellebiwoods, and we’d like to thank her once again for taking part in the OML author showcase! 

1. When did you start writing fics? Tell us a little of your journey as a fic writer.

I can remember writing fiction since I was maybe seven years old for a class project. I know I was writing fanfiction not long after that, because I have a notebook of bits of self-insert esque Harry Potter fanfic that I probably wrote at eight or nine, and all I can say is thank God I didn’t have fanfiction sites back then because that’s definitely not something I need immortalised haha.

Really Harry Potter was what started me writing - I got involved in very wordy RPG sites back in 2006, and most of my writing grew up around that community. RP is what helped me learn how to characterise, how to develop people into people instead of just 2D cut outs to fill a role.

Because that was always such a big part of my writing, my fanfiction career is a bit spotty. My first published fanfic was on fanfic.net back in 2010, when I used to write for The Vampire Diaries. I came back to it for Pacific Rim and Orphan Black around 2013-2014, and then disappeared. Then I found Shadowhunters and here we are!

2. What fic of yours are you most proud of and why?

The project I’m most proud of is the #ficsformalecvotes promo I ran for the E! Online poll. Not because of any of the particular pieces I wrote (although some of them were super fun), but just because it was the first time in a really long time I actually sat down and wrote so much so quickly, with so much interaction and enthusiasm people. It was an amazing project and I’m still really proud of everything I achieved in that.

Also the line “my best friend is a Buddhist pot” was inspired, I have no idea where I got it from but I’m fairly sure that I’m never going to write anything better than that lmfao.

3. Who is your favorite character to write and why? Which character do you find the most challenging to write?

My favourite character to write is always, always Magnus. As a character, his history and his personality really layers in a sense of depth that’s amazing to play with. His loyalty, sense of humour and general badassery always make for an interesting story!

As for most challenging, it’s usually the characters with quieter voices or less source material to work from - Luke and Maia I always feel nervous about because I’m never sure if I’ve got it right! I usually feel the same about Clary; I never feel sure if I’ve characterised her properly or not.

4. What is the hardest part about being a fic author? The easiest?

The easiest part is the ideas! I never seem to be short of things I want to write, and new opportunities arise everywhere. Anything from a conversation to a couple of words to a song can give me a story I know I want to invest in. But equally, the hardest part is finding the time and often the energy to write. I work a full time job, so when I get home at night, finding the strength to sit down and just write something can often feel like the hardest thing in the world. When it happens, though, it’s usually so worth it.

5. What inspires you? Where do you find your muse?

Anything! Inspiration can come from anywhere, at any time. Songs, movies, little ideas on tumblr. My favourite thing to do is to talk to people, though. To talk about what I’m writing, about ideas I have and what I want to be writing. So honestly, if you ever wanna talk about anything fic or AU related, please message me because you will literally be doing me a favour!

6. How do you power through writer’s block?

Honestly, writers block is horrible, and don’t let anyone tell you different. I’ll let it sit for a while, but eventually I try and push through. Usually trying new things, even if they’re bad and I end up throwing them away, is what works for me! I’ll end up with a lot of really short pieces lying around, but having achieved that usually makes it far easier to move forward!

7. Do you have a favorite fic from another author?

secrets that you keep by beautifulbane has been one of my favourite completed fics recently! It has all my favourite tropes without really compromising on character, which is an achievement. I’m also a sucker for all Hockey AUs, and anything involving dragons.

8. What’s something you’re looking forward to in the upcoming season of Shadowhunters?

Magnus’ history being actually used and explored like it deserves to be!! Also more Malec development, more of my favourites, and more of the gay ships I’ll never have.

9. Can you give us a sneak peek to what you’re writing next? Or at least any hints to what’s to come?

So I’m currently still working on Journey to the Past, which is my Anastasia AU! I’ve had a bit of a break from it, but I’m determined to finish it. Hopefully there isn’t too much left, but I’m adding some twists and turns that the movie definitely didn’t have, so it could get interesting!

After that I’ll probably start something new… who knows what, really! I always have little things going on at the same time though, so just watch my tumblr for what pops up!

10. Do you have advice for anyone who might be interested in writing fan fiction?

Know your source material, and then just sit down and write!! When I started doing fanfic I’d be doing missing scenes, but if I have a source easily available, I usually re-watch it as I’m writing. Once you get to the point of truly new content though, you really just have to go for it! Practice, practice, practice. Open yourself up to feedback, get people to give you two positives and something to work on, and just keep writing. Practice is the only thing that works, and one day you’ll be able look back at where you started and see how far you’ve come.

11. Who is your favorite published author? Why?

I find it really hard to pick a favourite author, because individual stories are what matter the most to me. But for this, I’m going to give a shout-out to Patrick Rothfuss - I’ve only read the In The Name of The Wind, but I’ve never known anyone else to make what’s actually a fairly common plotline sound like poetry. The man knows how to describe a scene and set a mood without it getting tedious, and that is definitely a skill to be admired.
