#i say as if i will ever finish that one supercorp fic i've been “writing” for *checks notes* 6 years at this point

[sbrn10]

Dear reader, did I think to myself, "hey, so writing in a notion database per this advice seems like an interesting idea but slightly unwieldy because there appears to be no option to export all the scenes to a single document (if you choose markdown, which I prefer, each scene is exported to a separate markdown file in a subfolder), but wouldn't writing a python script to merge all those exported files in order be pretty simple?" and proceed to actually do that for about an hour, on the off chance that I hypothetically ever try to follow this writing advice, instead of doing any actual writing? Yes. Yes I did.

[fazedlight]

2, 3, and 4 for fic writer meme. :D

2. a character whose POV you’re currently exploring

Clockwork has Eliza's perception of Kara's experience wrestling with cultural/philosophical differences between Krypton and California.

It's been very satisfying to write. There's a lot to explore with her character - her relationship with Alex, the whiplash of what happens with Jeremiah, her time in the DEO, etc. I don't touch on those aspects in my fic (it's focused on supercorp), but I do find myself enjoying exploring her character.

3. how you feel about your current WIP

Excited!! Both Clockwork and Altitude are going well in terms of writing. I think I'm relieved to be down to a reasonable number of WIPs (2-3 is the happy spot for me) and to no longer have any deadlines looming (Mayhem was great, I just always find events stressful!).

Looking forward to finishing out Clockwork, then digging in to Altitude ❤️

4. a story idea you haven’t written yet

I'm somewhat tempted to write an Avatar Kara AU. The problem is, the plot I really want to write is a strong B plot, but I don't have a good A plot to pair it with. I don't think it'll ever get written - but if there's one thing I've learned, is never say never.

Thanks for the ask, Bird!

fanfic writer questions

Thanks for the tag, @foibles-fables

1- How many works do you have on AO3?

i'm at 122 right now (wahoo!)

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

794,634 (i am on a mission to 1 million in the next couple of years)

3. What fandoms do you write for?

well i've been around many a fandom block, but i'd say for current brainrot:

supergirl (mostly supercorp, but i have a smattering of rare pairs because women, amirite?)

swan queen

bumbleby (i also still have so many rosebird dreams i'll get there someday)

makayuro (with a smattering of rare pairs also because women, amirite?)

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

well unsurprisingly, ever since plopping down on supercorp fandom, the numbers have been from there. but shoutout to my victorious fic from 2012 holding strong lol

evergreen, closest i get, not for nothing, you've got mail, and one way or another

5. Do you respond to comments?

yes yes absolutely!! sometimes i am late and sometimes i just leave it in there so i can have it stay unread but anyway i try to respond and i appreciate everyone who sends them to me. i have historically been a oneshot writer so it's been nice also to get comments on wips!

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

oh shoot angstiest ending?? well i think i would say my supercorptober ficlet about memory loss of sorts might tick that (it ends kinda idk open but not bad, i will say)

but then there's also this one old soccer RPF i wrote that's more, idk, poetry than any real fic about one of them leaving lmao

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

the happiest ending? i mean all of them, i reckon. if they end up together or have a promise of together then they count lmao

8. Do you get hate on fics?

uhhh none that i've seen? i mean if it's in the comments, no? but if it's elsewhere, then also no? i have been fortunate in that way

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

OMG YES I AM FINALLY IN MY SMUT ERA

uh i reckon comedy smut for now (read DickFic here) but the day is young and my doc is empty so who's to say

but i have dreams for some sad smut because i'd like to develop the range LMAO

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

surprisingly, i do not. what i instead do is just little spin through five fandoms at any given time and just confuse myself that way

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

unfortunately yes. twice now. once was for my victorious fic that was used for a 5th harmony RPF lmaooo

and then on thanksgiving weekend, the first chapter of Crepe AU was posted by an anonymous for a The Wilds ship (but my friends rallied to get it taken down so i didn't have to send a takedown form to ao3 while i was traveling home)

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

nope but that would be totally rad

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

i love fic writing group work so yes! i have a series of sad angsty women that i have with my best friend in my revue starlight fandom, and then, of course, @sideguitars and i have 'humans in the storeroom' (that reminds me it's my turn to write the next part smh)

i also like jumping into writing sprints or writing exercises with folks (like a round robin)

14. What's your all time favorite ship?

let's not do this, i shan't pick amongst my children

15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

so far all my wips are things i wanna finish and will do my best to finish. i have a couple of retired wips that will just sit in my ao3 forever and i have made peace with them, though.

16. What are your writing strengths?

i wanna say characterization, pacing, emotional resonance, and a simple and natural writing style maybe

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

action?? plot??? proper AUs lmao

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

i do not because i find i butcher it and also then i cringe lmao

19. First fandom you wrote for?

oh written for but never posted? hermione/ginny

posted for? god probably All My Children (bianca and maggie) when i was like a teenager hahahahaha

20. Favorite fic you've written?

sorry no can do i love them all because i wrote them and there are so many things i enjoy about them. but i will say that the writing events circuit i've done this past year (supercorp bigbang, bumbleby big bang, and swan queen winter solstice) are born out of a lot of labor of love and i'm really proud of the work i've done for them.

and not for a writing event, but i am also extremely proud of re:live for mayakuro fandom-- that one makes me think that if i never wrote for that fandom again, that that's a really good fic to end on)

What's your total AO3 word count? apparently around 198,713

What fandoms do you write for? i currently write for the ted lasso fandom only

What are your top 5 fics by kudos? Breaking down (the walls) - hope you'll be safe (in the arms of another) - Touch me (like you do) - we should just kiss (like real people do) - no one's keeping score

Do you respond to comments? yes i do!!

What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? i think i only wrote one and it was a ff about maura isles

What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? it's rather hard to compare happy endings, so i can't choose

Do you get hate on fics? it hasn't happened yet

Do you write smut? If so, what kind? yes i do, that's how i started basically (i miss it a bit, recently i've not been in the mood much). i'd say that my smut is... unnecessarily long and emotional. i fully believe it's a great way to understand who a character is.

Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? i wrote two - one was a castle x rizzoli and isles crossover about kate and maura together in college that i dnf-ed at a certain point. the second was this supergirl x rizzoli and isles crossover i'm still very fond of. i had so much fun writing that, and i still think it makes perfect sense :)

Have you ever had a fic translated? yes, very recently!!

Have you ever co-written a fic before? no, i don't think i could

What’s your all time favorite ship? i don't think i have one above all. i was really into caskett (castle) and supercorp (supergirl), but now i've grown past both, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? i have a supercorp wip that i thought was very cute

What are your writing strengths? i think... construction of the line as a whole, if that makes sense. i try to make the words flow well and sound nice together. also dialogue, showing emotions through little gestures, intimacy, and lately introspection.

What are your writing weaknesses? i can't for the life of me write descriptions. of anything. i hate adjectives. i also get hyperfocused on the dynamic between two characters and refrain from including anyone else. oh also worldbuilding/background stuff... i just don't care.

Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? i don't think i've ever included it. but if i had to, i would do it with my own language.

First fandom you wrote for? only italians will get this one... un medico in famiglia. i still remember the first time inspiration hit.

Favourite fic you’ve written? definitely you said yes as I said please. i'm so proud of it and i was really inspired!!

Fanfic Writer Questions!

Thank you for the tag @fazedlight and @thatonebirdwrites I've never been tagged in one of these before so this is exciting :)).

1- How many works do you have on AO3?

I have 4 works on AO3 I wrote 2 a few years ago (that will honestly never be finished) then took a long hiatus, and then came back and now I have one published WIP and one finished work

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

16,866 words

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Supercorp (although I have dabled in writing for other fandoms but never published anything, those ones are just for me)

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

I will always be your hero - 214 Kudos

Finding Family - 90 Kudos

Stay the night (not to be continued) - 42 Kudos

Two Heroes in one (not to be continued) - 37 Kudos

5. Do you respond to comments?

Yes sometimes, I don't respond to all comments but I also don't really have a system for which comments I do respond to.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I don't really have anything that fits this yet, and tbh I'm not the biggest fan of angsty endings so idk if I see myself writing one in the future, but we'll see.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I will always be your hero

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Not really, I assume I will at some point in the future but right now I am very happy to exist in this internet space where people are being nice to me.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

No, I don't (far to repressed for that lmao).

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

I haven't written any but never say never, right?

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

No, but if anyone ever does want to translate one of my fics feel free to do so :))

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Nope, but tbh I have a feeling I would be a nightmare to work with as I work very slowly due to my disabilities.

14. What's your all time favourite ship?

Supercorp

15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

hmm... as I mentioned earlier on in this post there are two fics that will not be finished because I don't want them to be (I feel like my writing has improved a lot since then and I wouldn't make the same witing choices now so it doesn't make sense to drag them back out).

I also have 14 unpublished WIPs so I guess most of them will never be finished, I just don't know which ones yet.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Idk really, I feel like writing dialogue really flows out of me in a way that other parts don't as I can picture the characters in my mind acting out the scene.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

my main difficulty is speed, but also finding its to put in between the dialogue so that it doesn't feel awkward.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I don't really have any I'm afraid. I only speak English so I would probably never do more than a word or so as I wouldn't know how to do more.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Supercorp

20. Favorite fic you've written?

Absolute favourite fic is yet to come so stay tuned for that, but my favourite published fic is my current WIP Finding Family.

and now I'm going to tag @crime-wives to join :)).

[casualsavant]

20 Questions

I realized that I hadn't done this yet. Thanks @nottawriter for the tag.

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

26 total. 16 for Charlie's Angels (1976) and 10 Supercorp.

2. What’s your total AO3 words count?

377,451 words

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Primarily Supercorp now. Though it looks like I have more Charlie's Angels works, the lion's share of my word count AFAIK is Supercorp.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Deliverance (Part 4 of the Yearning Series)

Where Love Commands The Whole (Supercorptober 2023 prompt "Money")

Insensate No Longer (Part 2 of the Yearning Series)

Sensibility (Part 1 of the Yearning Series)

Found (Part 3 of the Yearning Series)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I respond to every comment that isn't outright abusive (I simply delete those). Though it takes me a while to do so because I tend to have incredible anxiety after I post anything and I need it to subside before I can respond. I am deeply grateful for the comments though.

6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I never leave things at an angsty ending. I suppose if you're talking about stories that form part of a series then "Insensate No Longer" has the most angsty ending as a single work.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

😅 All of them have happy endings. It's so hard to pick one but if I had to the epilogue of Deliverance would be my happiest because I put Kara and Lena through a lot!

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Yup. Some people don't know how to close a tab. 🤷🏻‍♀️

9. Do you write smut? If so what kind?

Yep. I think there are others who have done it much better but I sometimes like to have a big payoff after all the pining. So I guess porn with plot?

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

Nope. I like to stay in the Arrowverse and stick primarily to the Supergirl characters and setting.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I'm aware of.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope.

13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

Not yet, but hopefully soon.

14. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

Nothing has ever seized my mind and my heart like Supercorp. Usually I have an idea or two for a fanfic but it doesn't see the light of day, or I write until I've said what I needed to with that ship. Supercorp has been different.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

I tried to do a PWP smut fic as a challenge but I think it's absolutely terrible. I don't know if I'll ever go back to it.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Oh. That's an awkward question. 🤔

I've been told I'm good with metaphors and a few people have said they felt my characterization was natural.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

How much time do you have? 🤣🤣🤣

I struggle to keep my writing tight, which is why my stuff is generally longer than I thought it would be. I don't feel that I do comedy well. I am iffy about the smut.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

Primarily this means Kryptonian / Kryptonese for Kara. I think it's great and it's a matter of when and how you use it. I do try not to overuse different languages too much for fear that it would break the flow of the reader.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Star Trek TNG (before the internet)

The X-Files (after the internet)

20. Favorite fic you’ve ever written?

I would have to say "What If" (coincidentally also my shortest and least read) because of the economy of language. There are days I can't believe I wrote it.

20 Questions

thank you @appropriatelystupid for tagging me! i just finished my french exam this morning so doing this is an awesome way to spend my afternoon🥳

How many works do you have on AO3?

i was not aware that i had seven written and posted?? that's wild :0

2. What's you total AO3 count?

31,822 words?? also a massive surprise since i don't write or post nearly as often as i'd like...but hey, i'll take the win!

3. What fandoms do you write for?

okay, so obviously supercorp lives rent free in my head, but i'm also deeply entrenched in the cissamione and bellamione fandoms. i've got a fuck ton of wips for them, but i haven't put much out yet. however, recently, rojarias (reignjas) has been taking up ALL my brain space—i'm dying to write a lawyer au.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

erm. well, since i only have seven, i'll give you the top two? 1st: i'm home when i'm with you...2nd: this color looks better on you than me

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

i used to be really into and really good about responding to comments because i really appreciate every single one (and i still do) but it took a lot out of me and made me a little anxious, so i don't do it anymore. that being said, i still love and cherish every single comment that's ever been left!

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

i'm really not the biggest fan of angsty endings, so i don't write them very much. i'd much prefer piling on the angst throughout and giving them a happy ending. there's too much sadness and grief in the world already, i feel like everyone should get a happy ending.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

oo, okay, i'm not sure about happiest since they feel pretty even, but if i really had to pick maybe oh how love stings?

8. Do you get hate on fics?

i don't currently, which i think is in part because of how lovely most people in the fandoms i'm in now are, but years ago i wrote a dramione fic and people had a lot (which wasn't necessarily hate, but it was still unnecessary) to say about that.

9. Do you write smut? If so what kind?

i've tried on occasion, but let's just say i'm still working out the kinks (pun intended)

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

i don't and i don't think i will anytime in the near future because i feel like a lot of planning will have to go into that and i don't have the brain space right now. but secondly, i don't feel an immediate urge to merge any two worlds currently.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

luckily, no, not that i'm aware of—hopefully it stays that way!

12. have you ever had a fic translated?

i've had someone ask in my comments before, but as mentioned above i don't really answer comments and i'm still not sure if i'm entirely comfortable with translations even if it allows a larger audience access to the fic.

13. have you ever cowritten a fic before?

i was working on one with @glitterslytherin a few years back, but we never quite got much of it finished haha

14. What's your all-time favourite ship?

it's gotta be supercorp, but currently, rojarias and cissamione have me in a chokehold (i suppose i'm on my supercorp detox atm? maybe i'll be able to churn out fics after this little break)

15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

i think this applies to all my WIPs to be honest. obviously i want to finish them all, but motivation is a bitch and she tends to come and go as she pleases XD

16. What are your writing strengths?

i'd like to think i do a pretty good job with dialogue. i used to be better at descriptions, but i think the balance has tilted the last couple of years.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

being able to just write and not edit on the way (another reason i rarely finish things) also planning is very much not my forte💀

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

while i am bilingual and almost trilingual, i do tend to stick with english since i feel like it's jarring to have a bit of a different language suddenly pop up and then the reader has to read the translation. and two, i'm not even grammatically accurate in english all the time, so forget about another language!

19. First fandom you wrote for?

oh, this is so mortifying...i believe it was percy jackson, but following closely behind was harry potter.

20. Favorite fic you've ever written?

i don't think i love any of the fics i have out at the moment—like, don't get me wrong, i'm super proud of them—but there's not one finished one that parades in my head all the time. the rojarias lawyer au and a supercorp orchestra au are constantly being thought about though?

tagging a couple of mutuals if ya'll wanna take part!

20 questions game

Thanks @fazedlight for the tag:)

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

11, but I think most of them are art.

2. What’s your total AO3 words count?

82,665. But there's a good chance I'll pass the 100k mark a bit after supercorptober!

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Supercorp.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Privileges

Of science and Love

The Power of Pasta

Ghostly Presence

The Art of The Game

(Skipped one artwork due to the fic being tied to someone else)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Yes! I try to respond to every comment.

6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Alone

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Beside Alone, they all have happy endings!

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I had a few comments with a commenter who was very keen to let me know just how much they hate Kara for some reason. But they haven't responded to recent chapters.

9. Do you write smut? If so what kind?

I have yet to attempt smut.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

I have not written any. I am a fan of AUs, though.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know. I know that my art has been running around some Facebook groups, though.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Not that I know.

13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

Yes! I have 2 WIPs that I'm cowriting, and I'm super excited about them! There's one project I hope me and my friend will be able to finish before the end of the year (though with current progress I'm not sure anymore), and another one that's gonna be a really really big AU that I'm really looking forward to (although I'll be grateful if we manage to finish it by the end of next year).

14. What’s your all-time favourite ship?

Supercorp has a really strong hold on me. This is the ship that made me start being active on tumblr, draw fanart, and let me discover my love for writing for the first time in my life. Saying that, Percy/Vex from critical role had my heart for quite a while, I think that at some point I read almost all of their AO3.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

I intend to finish all my WIPs. That's why after I finish The Art Of The Game, I plan to start uploading only once most of the fic is done.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I think I'm pretty good at structuring the story. I have pages upon pages of story flow and arcs for most of my big project. I think just for TAOTG I have 7 different files (probably more).

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Oh, so much. For now, I'll say that I have no idea how to use comma correctly and just use it randomly😂

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I haven't tried, but it I'll probably ask a native speaker. (Or someone who's really into kryptonian)

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Supercorp!

20. Favourite fic you’ve ever written?

My proudest work is probably The Art Of The Game. It's my biggest project yet, I've spent a LOT of time prepping the story structure, and it's also my first fic, and the reason I started writing in the first place. You can probably see my writing journey just by reading it (even if I did edit the first few chapters after the fact).

20 Questions Game

i was delighted to be tagged in this game by @lovesastateofmind1 who is one of my most favoritest supercorp writers

1. How many works do you have on AO3? 6

2. What’s your total AO3 words count?

104,568

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Supercorp

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

How to Find Your Way to the Center of a Spider’s Web Advanced Chemistry (A secret santa exchange I did) The Agreement (Unfinished oops) The Book of the Witch (My currently ongoing fic. I am currently working on the next chapter for this I promise.) Field Notes

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? I try to! But sometimes I get around to it too late.

6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

How to Find Your Way to the Center of a Spider’s Web. No one in the pairing dies (though a lot of people do die), but the ending isn't happy. It was my first fic and I was really going through it at the time, so I'm not sure I'd write something so hopeless now.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Advanced Chemistry. They end up happily together and Kara doesn't fail her chemistry class. An optimal outcome indeed.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I wouldn't say hate. I had some readers who were frustrated that my longfic ended sadly, and criticized the ending. I see where they're coming from. I'd thought I'd tagged appropriately etc, but I was still learning tagging etiquette on Ao3 so I may just not have signaled directly enough that it would not be a happy ending.

9. Do you write smut? If so what kind?

Not until very recently, but I'm practicing it as a skill and plan to include an NSFW scene in The Book of the Witch (so expect a rating bump up there.) It's hard for me as an ace person who hasn't dated much, so getting the emotions right is a bit of a challenge.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

No, unless you count the Spongebob Squarepants x The L Word crossover I wrote in a discord server to bother my friends and procrastinate on homework.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Nope

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope

13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

No but I would love to cowrite a supercorp fic please anyone who is reading hmu that would be such an honor and a delight.

14. What’s your all-time favourite ship?

Haha SUPERCORP i am a total dweeb for supercorp i just think they're neat

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

The Agreement. I think I need to take it down and back to the drawing board -- plan it out a little bit better before giving it the light of day. I wrote myself into a little bit of a trap with it, and it's been languishing for a few years, even though I love it very much.

16. What are your writing strengths? Saying a lot with a little.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Relatedly to the strengths, sometimes saying too little -- things can feel a little stilted or impersonal, especially during moments of emotional climax.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

Only if I was very comfortable in the language, and the dialogue was very brief. I think I'd tend toward writing short lines that can be intuited out with context clues, or easily translated for the readers.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Overwatch.

20. Favourite fic you’ve ever written?

I go back and forward on this. I think The Agreement is the best written, but I feel anxiety about it because I just can't seem to keep it going. Once I finish The Book of the Witch I may rate it among my favorite fics I've written, but it needs to be finished first! Right now it's just in a gloomy, icy limbo.

[singsweetmelodies]

just stopping by to say: you've had SEVEN accounts over ELEVEN years in fandom?? you actually are a legend, wtf. any chance you can reveal some of the other fandoms you've written for? 👀 no need to answer if it's too personal or if you're not comfortable revealing it btw!!

ahhhh, anon, you'll make me blush 🙈🙈😍🙈 YOU are the actual legend for sending this ask!! ❤️❤️ also, omg, noooo worries, i don't mind answering at all - i am also an incredibly nosy person, lmaooo, so i completely get wanting to be curious about everything you can, hehe.

and as for fandoms: i'm not going to reveal absolutely all of them (mostly because i'm too lazy to go open up all 7 accounts AGAIN and check, so i'll most likely forget some, lmao 😆🥲) but also bcs there are one or two i'm redacting for shame, kslldjdhdhdgdhdgdhdggdd 🙈

ANYWAYS. let's get to it - here's a list of many of the fandoms i've written for over the past 11 years, in the order of how quickly my brain remembers them lmao. also! pls note that these are only the fandoms i've written for. the ones i've READ for are absolutely impossible to count, i fear 😅😅

and now with the disclaimers and whatnot done - the list:

Harry Potter (specifically, Marauders Era)

Avengers 2012 (specifically, Clintasha)

Once Upon A Time (Captain Swan beloved)

Marvel's Agents of SHIELD (definitely the fandom I've written the most for to date)

Star Wars (Reylo. sorrynotsorry)

Supergirl (Supercorp, of course)

Star Trek: Discovery (one fic in total but it counts)

Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist (again, one fic, but I loved this quirky little series very dearly)

The Queen's Gambit (this is the one I completely forgot I ever wrote fic for, and was pleasantly surprised to remember lmao)

Six of Crows (Kanej forever!!)

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (Sambucky, of course)

Black Widow 2021 (specifically, the fascinating and excellent Natasha & Yelena & Melina & Alexei dynamic)

Miraculous Ladybug (shut UP, the content in this fandom is genuinely god-tier)

Spider-Man Homecoming & No Way Home (Spideychelle <333)

Arrow (I never finished this show but by god I had my Olicity obsession. also. Sara Lance!!)

Arcane (one fic but God I wish I'd had spoons to write more because this show is awesome. Caitvi 😍😍)

Avatar The Last Airbender (OH MY GOD almost forgot this one but how could i. this show is so good!!)

there you have it, anon! 🥰 insanity that has spanned 11 years, lmao. but this is only a fraction of the true insanity, really - there are SO many fandoms where i just lurked, and obsessively read fic, but never posted anything of my own 🥲🙈 anyways!! looking at this all again has definitely been A Ride for me. i do hope you enjoyed(?) the answer - pls do tell me if anything here is a massive surprise, or not surprising at all, lmao. i of course believe my taste is impeccable, but please do tell me what you think too <333

20 questions game

Thank you @sssammich for the tag!!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

Eight

2. What’s your total AO3 words count?

Currently it's 123,510 words! It felt really cool to pass the 100k mark.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Supercorp

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

No One and Nothing

So I Kept Pretending

Synthesis

It's a Metallo Life

Even Though You're Kryptonian

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I do! I respond to most of them now, because I like talking with my readers! I didn't do that at first... I was nervous that I might appear too desperate or something if I responded to everyone, but now I don't care 🤣 I love my readers and want them to know I see them.

6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

For now, I think that title belongs to Darkness in All Things. I wouldn't call it an angsty ending necessarily, but it's a bit more somber than most of my endings.

I think one of my one-shot WIPs may take this title (though I don't expect to finish it until early next year).

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I think all of my fics count as happy endings! The happiest might be Even Though You're Kryptonian, since our beloved idiots are preparing for their nuptials.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I've gotten a few from a known troll, but generally no. This fandom has been very kind 💗

9. Do you write smut? If so what kind?

I wrote smut once, for Darkness in All Things. There's another fic I'm writing smut for, although it's not supercorp.

In general, writing smut terrifies me. I only did it in DIAT because the characters held that chapter hostage until I did, and now the characters for this other fic are as well. I am being bullied 😭

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

Okay... so... technically I have.

When I was young (10-ish?), I read some Sailor Moon fanfiction. I stumbled across this Sailor Moon & Xena crossover, and was frustrated that it had one chapter left and hadn't seen an update in a long time (I don't remember what a "long time" would've been to me back then).

I reached out to the author and asked about it, and the author gave me the chance to finish it based on their outline. So... I did, and they posted it!

I don't know how "well" it did. I think this was on ff.net in the very early days, so there were no kudos, and I don't think I ever got a comment about it.

I'd love to find that again, but haven't been able to. I remember nothing about it other than Rei was extremely snarky. I stopped reading Sailor Moon fanfic soon after, and generally didn't read fanfiction again until my 2021 obsession with Rizzles began.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I'm aware of.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

No

13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

Technically yes, see #10.

I don't think I'll do it again. I'm far too chaotic in my writing approach, and far too possessive of my stories, to effectively cowrite with someone 🤣

14. What’s your all-time favourite ship?

Xena/Gabrielle!! They were my first ship. I never read fic of them (other than the Sailor Moon crossover I mentioned above, since I did read a lot of Sailor Moon fic). For me, their story was perfect, and the show gave us everything I could ever want.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

I don't think I have any of these at the moment. And I'd never say never anyway, you never know what a brain will latch onto.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I think I have some good plot ideas and decent characterization. But ultimately this question is up to the readers, not me.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I think my greatest weakness is not letting a scene evolve - I'm impatient by nature. I think this is something I'm slowly getting better at, in that my first fics are far less developed compared to my most recent fics.

But there's always a gap from the scene that's in my head vs. what ultimately makes it to the page. Sometimes I don't know if I've written enough for the readers to know what the characters are feeling and doing.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

Oh I'd get lots of help here.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Technically Xena and Sailor Moon in a crossover 🤣 That was a single chapter for someone else's story with someone else's outline over two decades ago. So I think saying Supercorp is still accurate.

20. Favourite fic you’ve ever written?

Oh gosh, it's hard to choose. I think I have a recency bias thing here where I want to say Darkness in All Things. I do think my writing style has improved greatly over time, so I think my stories have gotten better in that sense.

20 questions game

got tagged by @nostradamus0 so i shall now answer it all instead of doing my homework due in like 3 hours it's fine

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

lol 115

2. What’s your total AO3 words count?

so technically 685,515 (but i've co-written some stuff so if we're talking purely my words then it's probably closer to maybe around 630k or so?? idk man)

3. What fandoms do you write for?

currently? mayakuro, supercorp, and bumbleby, but i won't hesitate to write for a fandom off the cuff lol (if you ever take a gander at my fic list you'll see)

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Closest I Get (victorious, jade/tori)

evergreen (supercorp)

not for nothing (supercorp)

one way or another (supercorp)

catching sunrise (revue starlight, maya/claudine)

lmaoo supercorp numbers feel insane to me (considering how i've been chillin in smaller fandoms. like closest i get was posted 11years and 2days ago and it's now only 26 kudos ahead of evergreen)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

hell yeah! i would say i've answered 90% of my comments there are some random stragglers i know i've missed over the years for sure, but i try to respond when i can!

6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

uh omg i mean i don't typically dabble in angsty endings? i'm a happy/hopeful ending kinda gal. i did have santana die in this one fic but it ended hopefully, and then i also had maya and claudine not end up together, but it was also not bad?? idk if i've ever thought of an angsty ending that feels like a good pay off for having been put through the paces ig

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

the vast majority of my fics are happy endings so idk, pick any of them tbh LOL

8. Do you get hate on fics?

not really, no. i've been most fortunate that people have been very nice in the comments.

9. Do you write smut? If so what kind?

listen i am trying to get into my smut era and i keep being delayed so it's only a matter of time but it's probably just regular vanilla smut lbr

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

i have written ONE (1) crossover and it's incomplete. in general, i cannot possibly fathom crossing over fandoms, they feel very contained and separate in my head so not really

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

haha yes! i remember someone messaged me that my jori fic, Closest I get, was stolen and put into wattpad but then used for a 5th harmony rpf story LMAO

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

no but if someone did i would be honored

13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

haha yeah, i'm co-writing now! there's this kara/lena/sam i've dubbed throuple fic with chaotic-super and then my friend maddy and i continue to ruminate on a revue starlight modern AU where the sad girls are sad. and then also like there's a since abandoned alex/tobin rpf back in the woso days LOL

14. What’s your all-time favourite ship?

girl we're not doing this

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

omg i have this one once upon a time/pitch perfect ruby/aubrey crossover i did try to write back in the day and i reread it in the last six months and it was Not Terrible but idk where that shit would even go now at this rate

also i've retired many WIPs over the years

16. What are your writing strengths?

uh god idk maybe dialogue, pacing, atmospheric setting

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

absolutely writing the middle and thinking of the connective tissues that would tie everything together

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

i do not have thoughts LOL

at this point, i think it depends? like if there's something more to be gained with it being in that other language, then i'll write it in. but if not, i just italicize it and say they said it in that other language and keep it moving LOL

19. First fandom you wrote for?

god uh probably some super early hermione/ginny back in middle school and then All My Children bianca/maggie back in high school (when there were forums to join and pretend you're not a child) but those things are not posted

20. Favourite fic you’ve ever written?

can there ever be just ONE favorite fic at this point in my life? can't say at this point especially with how often i've jumped fandoms and stuff but i guess in recent writing, i'd say:

not for nothing, don't touch me (touch me more), catching sunrise, and tether

honestly they all gave me so much headaches (affectionate??) but i feel like they're some of my best writing atp

no pressure tags! @lovesastateofmind1 @fyonahmacnally @chaotic-super @fazedlight @inkedroplets and anybody else?? who wants to! live ur life ur truth etc etc and answer ask memes

20 Questions for fic writers

I was tagged by my good friend @ahunter8056. LOL I don't know if these answers are what you're expecting, my good sir, but it's a good way to get me into my own version of NaNoWriMo since I had to miss last month due to work. Anyway, let's crank these out so I can get to finishing up chapter 4 of season 2.

1. How many works do you have on Ao3?

The technical number is 8. Two of those works are co-authored pieces, one is a special chapter I wrote for a friend's longer piece, and five are mine.

2. What's your total Ao3 word count?

This one took some math so I didn't take credit for anyone else's work in the colabs I have going on. Roughly the number sits at

685,899 give or take a few thousand.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

More recently its WWE and Tom Clancy's The Division in my ongoing story with AtkPlatypus, and the WWE and Dr Who universe with @ahunter8056. I've also written for Supergirl and Blindspot, and if you want to do a super deep dive, I have stories for Criminal Minds, Secret Circle, and Chicago Fire that are posted under a different name over on FF.net. And before you ask, no I'm not giving you that info, you have to go find it. Happy hunting!

4. What are you top 5 fics by Kudos?

Fairytales Start With Curses, The Four Horsewomen: Directive 51, Time Bomb, After Rain, Waiting for You to See Me

I went with works I'm either the solo author for, or ones I am posting regularly on. I'm not going to lie; the fact that Directive 51 isn't the top spot threw me for a loop since AttackPlatypus and I have been writing that one for 4 years. And the best part? Fairytales isn't my Supercorp fic! Look at you go, AgentCorp fans!

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Are you kidding????? This is my favorite part of posting! I LOVE interacting with the readers! The readers have taken the time to not only read my story, but then comment on it.... the least I can do is interact with them. Not only that, I love reading different reactions people have to chapters I've written. I get a huge sense of pride when a reader correctly guesses a plot twist or picks up on something subtle that I've written in. And just like readers feel certain things while they read, I feel certain things when they guess these things right. It makes me want to keyboard smash right back at them.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I'm with @ahunter8056 on this one. The ending for me should provide the reader with at least a small sense of hope. I'm not saying you can't write an angsty ending, but it's just not for me. I think everyday life is angsty enough, so it doesn't do it for me in my chosen forms of escape. Plus, I'm kind of notorious for writing hugely angsty chapters in my stories, so I like to wrap them up with a hopeful/happy ending.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Easily it's Fairytales Start with Curses. A lot of nonsense goes down in that one, so the ending feels that much more rewarding in my opinion. HOWEVER, Directive 51 is still in progress, so it's very possible that whenever we get around to ending that one, it'll be the happiest ending. But at the rate we're going with that one, it won't end until 2050, so.... let's just stick with Fairytales

8. Do you get hate on any fics?

I can't say that I have. I've received constructive criticism and people disagreeing with the ending or what not. But I can't say it's ever elevated to the level of hate. Now, I did get a chuckle when someone DM'd me to tell us to hurry the hell up on Directive 51. AttackPlatypus and I take the word slow-burn very, very seriously.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Not really. It would be extremely awkward if I did, and I don't think it fits into most of my writing.

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

Yep! I sure do! I find crossovers open up a whole different world for our favorite characters to play in. And what's the point of fic if you can't do things like that. I think the craziest is the Four Horsewomen of Pokemon series. But I'd also say that Directive 51 is kind of out there, but if you know the four horsewomen of WWE, it's not too big of a leap to put those badass women into the Division universe.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of. And honestly, if you think my mediocre writing deserves to be stolen, have at it lol. There are much better writers out there that would get you so much more attention. That being said, stealing is bad so knock it off.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Not that I know of, but if you want to translate one, go for it.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Sure have! I'm currently writing The Four Horsewomen: Directive 51 with AttackPlatypus. That one is a WWE/Division crossover that we try to update weekly, and it's been going on for four years running. If you like slow-burn shenanigans in post-apocalyptic Chicago, might I recommend taking a look? I've also had the esteemed honor of being asked to co-write the sequel to A Hero Will Save Me Just in Time with the tremendous @ahunter8056. He's brilliant, and I can't believe he asked me to play in the sandbox of that fantastic series. Seriously, go check it out, it is well worth the read!

14. What's your all-time favorite ship?

This is like asking me to pick a favorite child. And quite honestly, the answer will change depending on the day. So I'll answer it this way: my first ship was JJ/Emily from Criminal Minds. The ship that will always hold a special place in my heart is Clexa from The 100. My angsty ship is Caitlyn/Vi from Arcane. Favorite canon ship? Wayhaught from Wynona Earp. But my all-time favorite? I think I have to go with the four horsewomen on a poly. It's not a popular choice, but those four are so good together, that I just have to give in.

15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

The Four Horsewomen of Pokemon series. I think that series had some solid potential, and the writers involved were all extremely talented. It just became too difficult to stick with on an individual level, which unfortunately brought the whole series down. But I do love those characters and hope to one day pick it up again.

16. What are your writing strengths?

hooooo boy.... um.... I think I'd say quiet, emotionally charged moments between characters. It's kind of a staple of mine, especially in my earlier writing. In the same vein, I'd say characterizations. I love dissecting characters to discover what makes them tick, so a lot of writing could also be seen as a character study. Oh, and angst as a plot device to get us to the happy ending.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

FLUFF. I cannot, under ANY circumstances, write fluff. It's like I'm deathly allergic to the stuff.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue language in fic?

I honestly don't understand this question. But if I had to guess at what's being asked here, the question is about writing in a different language if it's being spoken between characters. And I think if it's done in moderation, it's fine as long as there's a translation at the end of the chapter. But to do large chunks of dialogue in a language other than the original language the fic is written in can be a detriment to the overall story. I think too much of it will take your readers out of the world you're creating, and they'll lose interest.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Mutant X. It was a horrendously written Mary-Sue that got posted on FF.net and then deleted a few years later when I realized just how cringe it was. And no, it no longer exists, so I can't post it even if I wanted to.

20. Favorite fic you've written?

Oh, easily Directive 51. I never expected it to become what it has when AttackPlatypus approached me about it. My stories are usually only one-shots, or small multi-chapters. And here we are four years later and the story has 888.388 words and 196 chapters. And we're not even close to being halfway done. This story has such a special place in my heart, and I don't want to consider what my life will look like once it's done.

A close second would be Fairytales. That story started out as a dare from my roommate at the time. She had gotten tired of listening to me whine about my several-year-long writer's block. So she went out and found a prompt that was followed by a dare that I couldn't write an AgentCorp fic for it. Needless to say, I was able to write a rather solid story if I do say so myself. It got me back into writing, and I will always love that little story for that.

Well, that was an interesting practice for me. I don't usually stop to think about things like this, but I had a blast doing it. Thanks for reading if you took the time! Any questions you may have about my stories, feel free to drop me a message and we can chat about .... well, anything really.

[rainaftersnowplease]

Oh my GOD I've just finished Two for Slashing for about the 2nd time in a genuine 24 hours, and it's driving up a wall like a spider.

The Danny/Carmilla thing one. What the hell is Danny taking from her?! Drugs?????!

The thing Mel said to Carm at the kiddy practice??? That made Carmilla GLARE at Laura???

I've never liked Ice Hockey more in my life (that is to say I've never actually watched it at all XD).

I noticed the fic wasn't tagged as Haitus, but hasn't been updated since last year- do you need to sub to your patreon for the rest...?

TLDR; amazing, showstopping, fantastic, best carmilla fic I've ever read

Hello friend!

The fic's not on hiatus per se, but I'm busier than I was a year ago, unfortunately. I've not abandoned it, it's just taking a bit longer to get out new chapters for that and my other ongoing projects.

There's no new stuff on my Patreon for it at the moment. My Patreon is purely for support - I don't offer early access as a perk right now. I'd be grateful if anyone subbed, of course, but I want to be up front about what that means!

I am really, really happy you've found it as enjoyable to read as it is to write. It's one of my favorite fics I've ever written (I think Heisszeit, one of my Supercorp fics, is maybe my number 1, but TFS is high up there with it). Hockey is my favorite sport in the world, and it's been amazing to see so many people get into it as a result of my writing. To say nothing of the great community the Carmilla fandom still is to this day.

All your questions, and more, will be available in time! Thanks so much for reading!!
