#i am returning to tumblr to tell you to watch brassic

Fanfic asks… 3 and 6 please 😊

3. Do you anticipate writing for a new fandom this year? Which one?

Oh, I’m the worst in regards to this as I tend to fall into just one fandom at a time and I don’t watch very much TV or many films. Other than what I see on tumblr, I probably couldn’t tell you about anything going on in any shows right now (not even the one I write for – which I’m still two seasons behind on). There’s a small handful of couples I really enjoy, but only the one that makes me want to write fanfiction at this moment.

I would, however, like to go back and finish a long fic I’d been working on for the Charity/Vanessa (Emmerdale) fandom. I think we’re all resigned to the notion that couple will never be returned to us, but my story versions of them deserve the happy ending they were robbed of in canon. And I hate leaving anything unfinished.

If I had to wager a guess on what might draw my attention, it’d probably be the show Brassic because I really am rooting for Vinnie and Erin to get together even though they’re both totally agreed it would be awful. And it probably would be. But oh, that singular moment of happiness? That shit would make me soft. Maybe I’ll write a spec script for that show and toss it in my portfolio or something.

6. Which yet-to-be-started fic is first on your list?

I talked about it briefly in an answer to another question from this list. But maybe getting a few hundred words in several times in the last six months counts as starting it?

In which case, I want to explore more couple-centric and canon-compliant ideas in the coming year. I’ve spent so much of the last year deeply invested in my own created universe for these characters (which, honestly, I’ve needed with the stress of school), and it’s allowed me to keep from truly getting involved with the genuine storylines of the show. But it’s also kept me from reading a lot of other people’s work. I want to dive back into fandom present and explore who these characters are on screen right now. Besides, I’m sure everyone will eventually get tired of Andrea and Beatrice, even though I could probably write their stories for the rest of my life.
