wip prompt title meme

Thank you so much for the tag @theglasscat

Prompt: Make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have WIPs.

Okay, let's see... I'm gonna split these into Paternoster Gang and non-Paternoster Gang btw, because all the other ones together are not nearly as long as the first list... Noting the fandom in brackets for the non-Paternoster Gang ones.

Non-Paternoster Gang:

Thasmin Starry Night Osgood x Kate Hologram 4 Suvira Fairytale AU Beauty and the Beast (Legend of Korra) Outer Senshi Lonely Soldiers (Sailor Moon) Hicsqueak Non-magical AU (The Worst Witch 2017) J7 One - Aftermath (Star Trek Voyager)

Paternoster Gang:

Turn Loose the Mermaids (@capybaraonabicycle I can already hear you asking about that oneeee XD) Demons run, souls linger The Madame, the Maid, and the Mistress Once a sewer rat always a sewer rat Family Matters to discuss (working title...) Paternoster Gang and Bloomsbury Bunch Mamma Mia Shenanigans Holiday in the North The Great Kitchen Flood

Oh god, and I really have to find that many people to tag... Okay I'll tag the average of both (=7) and then anyone else who wants to can do it! @capybaraonabicycle @casualscribbler @smaugonfire @jennyvastraflint @heathtrash @accidentallyadorable @pookachuka

25, 26, 44

25. What’s your most popular fanfic?

It depends on how you define popular. Purely from a data perspective, I took a look at my AO3 stats and by most hits and most kudos, it’s a Monk rare-pair (Stottlemeyer/Disher) fic I wrote for Yuletide (a small fandoms fic exchange) lo these many years ago. 

My most book-marked fic is another Yuletide fic, where I wrote an alternate ending for The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton. 

Looking at number of comment threads, a bunch of my fics are basically at the same place, although The Dance Lesson, a Hackle fic featuring Maud is technically at the top.

26. How do you come up with your fanfic titles?

Ahahahaha. Most of the time I find titling difficult. Since joining tumblr I’ve taken to using lines from poetry as titles far more often. I’ll also use quotes from the source material for the fic, or quotes from other works. Sometimes I will start with a phrase that sort of conveys the feeling I want and keep reworking until it feels right. Sometimes it’s a basic description of something about the fic.

44. What ship do you feel needs more attention?

Laura/Rosemary (Rosemary & Thyme)

@hovercraft79 have talked a lot about how much we’d love this ship to get more attention. These are the leads is a charming and sometimes utterly ridiculous cozy mystery show with two middle-aged ladies who meet by chance and end up running a landscaping business, solving plant mysteries and solving murders together. They banter together! They share a room ALL THE TIME (though sadly there are always two beds). Their skills complement each other! One of them is a university professor & plant pathologist and the other is an ex-cop & enthusiastic and knowledgable amateur gardener. They save each other from bad guys! (For a show that doesn’t actually canonically ship them there are quite a lot of shippy tropes in it.)

Hubblestar (The Worst Witch)

It’s such a lovely ship and I’d be thrilled if there were more of it. Someday, when I have a better grasp on both Julie and Dimity, I’d like to write some full-length Hubblestar-centric fic.

Millie/Jean (Bletchley Circle/Bletchley Circle: San Francisco)

Ahhh, I have so many feelings about these two and I want to get back to writing them, possibly later in the summer or the early fall.

Delenn/Sinclair (Babylon 5) 

I understand why there isn’t much fic for this fandom, let alone this pairing, and in some ways I don’t want there to be a big online presence for this fandom because it’d be too easy to accidentally spoil people for the show that way. This is a show that should absolutely be consumed spoiler free if you can at all manage it. That being said, I adore Delenn and Sinclair and I think there’s a ton of interesting ideas to explore with the two of them, that also involve them as a ship. I also would love some canon-divergent AUs about them.

Thank you @capybaraonabicycle for the tag! Let's do thisss!

demons run, souls linger

Jenny watched as the Doctor rushed off into his blue box.

A Crew for a Ship

“Jenny!” Vastra rushed to her as Jenny approached, the leather boots she had now gotten used to properly broken in, and her skirts swooshing behind her.

yellowing like old photographs

Jenny didn't know where the time had gone, living with Vastra.

Until the dance ends

„Which do you think I should wear today?” Vastra asked quietly, pushing her wardrobe open.

Annie

Vastra led on as Jenny carried the basket with their goods home.

By the window

"Vastra, Vastra!" Jenny came down the hallway calling, and a smile appeared on Vastra's lips.

One Hundred Kisses

The Tenebrae were bound, safely back within the ink writing carrying their new myth.

A Hunter's Instincts

Vastra was relaxing in her greenhouse, sprawled on a big rock in a hidden corner of it, far away from the entrance.

Die Ritterin und die Drachin

Es war einmal eine Ritterin, die am Rande eines Dorfes lebte.

Just a Tiny Sting

„I do not understand why you wish to subject me to such torture, my love,” Vastra cried, crossing her arms, and leaning back into her cushioned seat.

(Only the first fic is an incomplete one.)

I think I tend to go directly into action, using either a sentence that tosses you in or direct speech. Funnily enough, the first three I entered here all start with "Jenny" as the first word XD Of course, the one German example is a Fairy Tale AU and thus utilises the "once upon a time there was..." structure typical for fairy tales.

They're all written in third person past tense, which I suppose is the most commonly used way of writing. Most of them also talk about movement of some kind! (watching movement, running/walking, lazing and relaxing)

The ones jumping off an episode as an addition usually mention something from the episode itself (especially One Hundred Kisses), or sets the scene of where it starts off (demons run, souls linger).

This was really interesting to see! And I'd like to hear frommmmm... @jennyvastraflint, @casualscribbler and @heathtrash pleaseee! No pressure tho, just if you got time!

[heathtrash]

i have this headcanon that whenever dimity takes assembly, she adds in little in-jokes to poke fun at her fellow members of staff that the students would probably never get

Dimity: I think it's just fascinating that bats have the highest rate of homosexuality of any mammal.

Gwen: Here we go again with Dimity's not-so-subtle assemblies. But is she referring to Hecate or myself?

Hecate: *doing quick calculations to determine how many bats in the castle are gay*

,,, hecate doesn't get them either, tbh

[heathtrash]

just wormabella thoughts

[heathtrash]

[heathtrash]

um, for the fic ask (I tried restraint, didn't work): Hecate and Pippa have to get ordinary jobs, HECATE IN A SOCK (what is this I love it), cheese deli/sommelier, self-care mumbroom, it's a honey holiday (look, I had to), campire au, the witch next door

hecate and pippa have to get ordinary jobs - i think the title is as far as the idea ever got, but it was a very early fic idea i had in september 2019, and basically it was something like,, they are stuck in the Ordinary world for whatever reason, maybe undercover, and have to exist as Ordinary people. like those episodes of star trek probably. colleagues to lovers? who knows? not me bc i didn’t write anything useful down for it

cheese deli/sommelier au - “cheese and wine are meant to go well together—but what if they did not?” hecate is a snarky sommelier and she must work with pippa who is a cheese specialist. they have to find a way of working together without driving each other up the wall. enemies to lovers. there is no writing here just literally an idea because i know virtually nothing about wine and i’m a bit allergic to it

self-care mumbroom - one i started writing and got super distracted from! julie is working at cackle’s and decides hecate needs to spend some more time on self-care and hecate hates it. based on an irl ordinary book for witches

vampire au - some kind of vampire au i had an idea for way back when!! one of my first few fic ideas in october of 2019. pippa is a vampire and hecate is an historian investigating her. i,, guess it had flashbacks to the 1920s with her in fashionable parts of london with society lesbians. uhh not sure what i was going to do with it but needed way more planning than just a few words typed in caps like “SEANCE” and “OH NO a bloodlust” because i don’t remember what that means. it started off life as a thirsty drabble in my october drabble challenge but then never evolved

the witch next door - modern au, where hecate and pippa are neighbours! both are witches and neither wants the other to find out. i started off with a random plot point but didn’t know where to take it from there so it’s just a 200-word fragment no one will ever see

it’s a honey holiday - sequel to my honeybroom fic, a taste of honey. hecate goes on her first holiday ever since her confinement was lifted, with jennifer honey of course!!

hecate in a sock - this was going to be a christmas fic. not sure of ship(s) but hecate was going to be shrunk at one point and put into a stocking. that’s as far as i got before my brain imploded with feelings???

Ordinary Pippa, magical Hecate and the one where they have to get ordinary jobs for the WIP Folder Meme, please! :)

ordinary jobs - answered here!

ordinary pippa, magical hecate - i came up with this one after watching the gloriously awful christmas romcom a knight before christmas. it would follow a similar premise in that pippa would discover hecate wandering around, completely baffled by everything around her, and try to help her adjust to ordinary life. it never went beyond a few random notes tbh bc it didn’t feel as in character for hecate as i would like

I'm so intrigued and excited by so many of your titles! It's hard to pick just one, but i'll go with "i may have made it rain (please forgive me)"

dated 2nd december 2019, this was in my one-shots folder (possibly bc i forgot to move it to my drabbles folder) as a title with absolutely no content in the folder! it’s a lyric from Everytime by Britney and i’m fairly sure i intended it to be a hicsqueak drabble sequence based on the song. it’s a song i strongly connect to both hecate and pippa after their whole Thing!!

i think i didn’t make anything of it because i had other things to write and at the time i was very Focused as a writer. not so much any more 😂

(you can ask more than one!)

A secretly married hicsqueak fic!! I need that in my life <3

oop, this title was actually “secretly married hecate”. from what i remember, hecate was not married to a canon character. the fic was about her being unhappily married and someone (don’t remember the ship) getting her out of the situation. if i’d written anything down for it further that would have really helped, but i think it could work for any ship!

Trope mashup: Blind Date + Its not you it’s my enemies + hicsqueak

It’s the 30s. The 1830s. Hecate Hardbroom is the daughter of a gentleman. From her childhood sweetheart, Pippa Pentangle, she had to part ways, on suspicions from her nosy mother, a good two decades ago. One of her friends, a Miss Drill, is a notorious matchmaker; bored of Miss Hardbroom’s inclination to decline every single prospect she introduces her to at social evenings, she promises one last woman, and vows to never speak another word on the matter if Miss Hardbroom does not fall madly in love with this woman.

Hecate prepares gloomily for the ball, and arrives without much hope. She is utterly overwhelmed, however, by the appearance of Miss Drill making a turn about the room with the lovely Miss Pentangle, only bloomed more beautifully with age. Miss Pentangle had moved far away on account of her father’s business, but has just moved back into her family’s former estate after her brother took over from their deceased father. Miss Drill is put out that she barely has to introduce them.

They catch up on the years apart, laughing at the old times, and sharing meaningful looks. After enduring their respective dance partners, both realise that they are still in love. 

Miss Hardbroom tells her all the ways they cannot possibly be together—but is convinced by just the one reason Miss Pentangle gives her to stay.
