#i want to see how this splits in the berena fandom

[hartkinsao3]

I’ve seen this going around so I thought I’d do it!

Your name: Emily

Fandoms you write for: Berena and now MAP(Mary Ann & The Professor from Gilligan’s Island)

Where you post: AO3 and then I post my links on here, Twitter and a closed Berena FB group

Most popular one-shot: Drive, the one written after the episodes last June

Most popular multi-chapter story: Split Happens, technically my only multi-chapter story, the others are one-shot collections. I’ve started another multi-chapter one though.

Favourite story I’ve written: I’ve written so many one-shots, but I think my favorite one was for the Weekly Berena Fix prompt Truth

A story you were nervous to post: I was/am always nervous to write and post my PWP one-shots.

How do you choose your titles? I struggle coming up with titles and summaries. For prompts, the titles are given, but for my own fics, it takes me a while to come up with a title.

Do you outline? I tried outlining for my NaNoWriMo fics and it helped, I just had trouble staying motivated to write them. I’ll get back to them eventually.

How many of your stories are complete? I have 51(including other fandoms and most are one-shots) completed on AO3 and 2 completed on my computer.

How many of your stories are in progress? I have too many WIPs to count!

Coming soon: Bernie’s text to Cameron saying she’s alive and hopefully more one-shots from my PWP collection!!!!!! Oh and Berena Remix at the end of the month!

Do you accept prompts? I am always looking for prompts even though I still have a massive list to get through. I love hearing other people’s ideas!

Upcoming story you are most excited to write: I’m excited to continue The Truth in Somalia because I want to see Bernie alive and doing something totally different.

I tag @oceanwriter & @authortalopez !!!!

What a fucking betrayal

To be honest, I did shed a tear when I heard about Jemma’s departure in two weeks, but I’m not surprised that she was basically an afterthought.

I know some people don’t like the berena side of the fandom now or whatever, but this was a total waste of an excellent actress, regardless of your feelings about her character. If I was Jemma Redgrave right now though, I’d be pissed. In my opinion, when she left for her break, that was the end of berena. The kill list was basically a ‘there you go, you got your lesbian couple and don’t ask for anything else’, and then they disappeared, not a single moment of their relationship shown, except for Bernie trying to deal with Serena’s grief, and even then Jemma had very little to do. In my opinion, when Jemma went on the break, the writers saw that there a big split in the reactions: there was all of us, who loved Bernie and berena and everything they were doing, and then there was the older, more conservative audience who made it quite clear they didn’t like Bernie or Berena. It was basically a choice between trying to keep the new viewers, or please the pre-existing audience, and they picked the latter.Realistically, I know that Berena on the show is over, regardless of how much I wish that they could both come back together and be happy. It doesn’t stop Berena being a very special ship.

Yes, some people will say it’s silly to be upset at Jemma leaving because only TV, but for me, Berena was really important. Serena’s storyline made me finally comfortable identifying as bi and I wouldn’t have come out to my parents without Berena- telling them about what I wanted for them let me tell them in my own life and let them understand my feelings. Not only that, but Berena was a lifeline for me- I suffer from chronic pain that has me virtually housebound, but Berena got me back in touch with my creativity, experimenting with my online work. Plus it gave me the chance to experiment with fiction writing, and now I’m actually trying to write an original LGBT novel, because berena fanfiction gave me the confidence.

When I sent off my letter for an autograph from jemma, I thanked her and Catherine for Berena, because it gave me the chance to have control over my identity, which is enormous for me; I have so little power in my life now that it is so dictated by my pain, and that my whole image from my burns to my clothes, and Berena really did help me take a bit of control back. Jemma put on the autograph 'strong by name and strong by nature’ (my surname is Strong) and when I’m crying in agony looking at that genuinely helps.

I will always be grateful to Catherine and Jemma for Bernie and Serena, and sad that the writers denied us the relationship that we and seemingly Catherine and Jemma wanted to see.

But more than anything, I am grateful for the berena community: it was a huge part of me accepting myself, and everyone is amazing. I love you all to bits, even if you don’t know anything about me- you are all really amazing! ❤
