Elemental Writer Asks: Fire, Clouds, Psionics

Fire: What’s a scene that you are dying to write? Oh my god, the confession scene in SnoCon has me in such a grip, I keep thinking about it and how it's going to come together. I have the actual confession written out but I'm lowkey still building the scene around it. It's torture cause I'll probably end up rewriting it depending on the scenes before it.

Also, just any scene from a vampire apritello au I mentioned briefly to the server (and also the starting scene for the au we're planning ajndkaj) like I have ideas but I'm trying not to get too distracted from SnoCon since I'll end up not finishing it lol.

Clouds: How clearly do you picture a scene before you start writing it down? I have to know at least where the characters are in relation to one another and which characters are going to be in the scene, this is the BAREST of minimum tbh. It can change while I'm writing, but tbh I'd take a break before continuing the scene if I don't know where they're placed. Also depending on how extensive the story is, I have to know the setting as well.

Psionics: How do you get into the heads of your characters? There are three things that I think about and it's a character's wants, fears, and limitations. When I think about them, they're primarily mental things, but it's easier for me to write how a character will "realistically" react to whatever situation I put them in if I have them figured out. That's why I call all my first fanfics in a fandom character studies lol.

Weirdly Specific Artist Ask Game: 5, 12, 23, 26, 39

5. Estimate of how much of your art you post online vs. the art you keep for yourself

Unfortunately a good majority, I'd like to say between 70%-80% of my art goes unposted. It's a big mash up of things being unfinished, me losing the excitement to show it, the art being traditional art (and I'm too half-assed to snap a pic and edit it), or it being original stuff that I'm too embarrassed to put out consistently :0

12. Easiest part of body to draw

It's the face, hands down LOL. Ik the face isn't really considered the "body" technically, so I might just go with shoulders or something. The whole neck area, actually.

23. Do you use different layer modes

Absolutely. Especially with the works that absolutely require a cool light setting like my O Sol works. My favorite ones right now are a mix of the add, color dodge and multiply modes ^^

26. What's a piece that got a wildly different interpretation from what you intended

I... wouldn't know?? Either I don't have a lot of works that are open to interpretations and people don't look too closely at them, or people keep their interpretations to themselves and let me off on my Holly Jolly way :0

29. Media you love, but doesn't inspire you artistically

Hmmm, I wouldn't say any of them?? Because while Rise is the only fandom that I share art for, all my other fandom inspire me in different ways :0 I count my writing as art too, and there are some media that inspire me there instead of visually.

... you know what, I lied, it's probably JJK

🔮 looking forward to: I have trouble looking forward--tend to be trying my best to stay in the present. But I'm looking hopefully at the prospect of getting a permanent role within the public service instead of hovering between temporary positions. Stability, ho?

Chapter 1

Authors: @hersheyotaku and @elitesheepi Fandom: Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Rating: M Characters: Donatello, April O'Neil Pairings: Donatello/April O'Neil Tags: Swimming, Mutual Pining, Fluff, Friends to Lovers, Nuzzling, Churring Summary: Donnie blinked twice before his brow furrowed. "You're...not really a 'water person'?" he asked, making air quotes with his fingers. "April, I've seen you enter far too many swimming pools for that to be a factual statement."

"Yeah, the shallow end maybe," April replied. "Huge difference between three feet and six feet, Dee. It's just a hang up, don't worry about it." Donnie's quick mind ran through all his memories of 'April in a body of water.' April standing in water? Sure. Kayaking upon its surface? Many times. But swimming? He actually couldn't recall a time where he'd ever witnessed her treading water. "You...can't swim," he said slowly, his expression one of dawning realization. Donnie takes it upon himself to teach April how to swim. The lesson in turtle biology is an unexpected bonus.

✨ Meme for Fic Writers: 4, 7, 15, 29, 38

Alkjsadkjs if Hershey's gonna do anything, it's make me think about my writing. I'm gonna put this under a read more and also color the questions so it's not just a huge wall of text (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

4. How many fic ideas are you nurturing right now? Care to share one of them?

Ohhh, there are so many that I don't even really have a solid number for them?? Like I have stuff I already talked about, like GG and O Sol, and then there are things I've only talked about in passing with friends that don't have a storyline or an actual idea name. I think the one that I wanna work on most that I haven't talked about before is another O Sol installment that kinda gives insight to apritello's relationship through the other characters POV? I'm having a lot of fun working backwards in terms of how the plot line goes before moving it forwards past,,, that lol

7. Share a snippet from one of your favorite pieces of prose you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.

The softness that Donatello invoked from her, the way she wanted to stay by his side and wanted him to stay by hers. The need to protect him, to keep him safe and happy, and being able to cause that happiness. She felt so seen yet felt the need to hide when his eyes found hers, desired to be wanted by him and for his eyes to seek her out. 

She found her place with him, craving out a piece of herself so he fit perfectly in her. And she hoped that he did the same for her. 

-I Put a Spell on You (Accidentally But If Anyone Asks it Was On Purpose)

I'm just, it's hard to talk about why I'm so proud of this one cause I feel like the reason is kinda unnecessarily sappy ajshjf. But the way that I think about love really drives how I write about characters falling in love or experiencing that love. For me, love (whether platonic or romantic) is about creating a safe place for someone, not only about wanting to be with them, but also in the sense that when you think about somewhere you belong, the other person is not too far from the thought, you know? So, by being able to write about a character experiencing the "mainstream" romantic expressions of love (ie. feeling shy around them, wanting to be near them, feeling protective of them, etc.), I was also able to add that little bit of characters creating places for each other. In that last line, I essentially wrote April not only admitting that she loves Donnie, but also hoping that Donnie loves her back without having to say that.

15. If you could choose one of your fics to be filmed, which would you choose?

Ohhh, if I could guarantee that the CGI was clean and the studio makes the color scheme pop like I'd want it, it'd be I Put a Spell on You (Accidentally But If Anyone Asks it Was On Purpose). There's a couple of scenes in it that I think would be really interesting with a visual!

29. If you could write the sequel (or prequel) to any fic out there not written by yourself, which would you choose?

Omg, look at me mentally blank on every fanfic I've ever read aljdsalkdj. Tbh, if it's anyone, I think it would either be a sequel to your The Missing Element fic, ooorr a prequel to Sheep's The One Where The Orange One Knows.

38. Talk about a review that made your day.

Hmm, all of the reviews I get make my day lol, but I still remember this comment I got on a fic I've since deleted, from my KH days. It was only one chapter posted, but it ended up being 10-13k, and the comment basically said it was literally the easiest read they'd had in a while. They complimented my dialogue, my characterization, how I wrote the characters interacting, and just my prose all together.

There are also one or two comments someone is recently leaving on SnoCon that's honestly bringing a smile to my face lol.

(Honestly, any comment that compliments my characterization or prose is immediately gonna make my day for YEARS.)
