[cabezadeperro]

hiya! for the fanfic ask game: ✏️🖊️📚? <3

hiiii ♥️

✏️ Do you write every day?

I try to! it doesn't always happen. I write a lot for my "day job", and sometimes I'm just all written out, or just tired, but that's my goal. a few years ago I started writing every day for an hour between 10PM-11PM and now I feel extremely weird if I don't. but also it's just that it makes me happy? I like writing, it's my favourite hobby, and it's fun even when it's hard and awful and frustrating

🖊 Post a snippet from a current WIP.

more age swap fic:

“I’ve been working since I was fourteen years old,” he replies.  What he doesn’t say is: I don’t know how to do anything else. I don’t think I want to learn to be someone else.  (He doesn’t say: there are people I need to find. I can do that better and more easily if I let the finding and hurting of people become my job.) “And I’m not young,” Jango finishes. The last piece clicks into place with a satisfyingly loud noise, echoing in the empty hold.  “You were Mand’alor,” Kenobi replies.  Jango pauses, his hands on the weapon. It’s cool and greasy against his fingers. “Not anymore.”

one of these days I'll finally finish this. (also, I'm not sure if I have already shared this--I've had a couple of weird weeks lol)

📚 Do you read your own fic?

yes 😌 not all of it, there are a few fics I just don't want to look at ever again, but I am my first and most important reader lmao most of the fic I write is because I want to read it.

Six Sentence Sunday Monday 📚📜🖊️

Thank you so much for the tag @bookish-bogwitch! your chart is awesome!

I will remember to try that/ a similar thing if I keep having issues with this fic I'm writing (but I should at least try to slog through a first draft of my trouble chapters first - i just get so anxious that I will fuck up the funny-conflict and make it miserable or something when it's 'perfect' (but vague af) in my brain and has been that way for 4 years...).

And thank you everyone who has tagged me in the last months/year <3 @nausikaaa, @ileadacharmedlife, @monbons, @supercutedinosaurs, @brendughh, @rimeswithpurple, and anyone else if I missed you because my tumblr notifs won't go that far back 😭💗💞💖 I love you all! Thank you for including me in the community even when I haven't been writing for a while! It's been so inspiring seeing what you all have been up to and I've finally started writing again so yay!

My goal is to finish this fic I've been writing for four years (i've written what I'm estimating is 50k words freehand and am transcribing and editing them onto my laptop and I still need to write the other half ... hahahaha 😅. But I love it. ) called *The Long Summer*, within a month (the first draft at least, I'll come back and edit it at a later date. I want to post it on ao3 over a summer so hopefully I will be ready next summer! I need to write it while I still love it!), and then I want to write the first draft of an original story for a month or so/NaNoWriMo, and then I will pick one of my Carry On WIPs to work on (hopefully just in time to celebrate snowbaz's anniversary!)

(The Carry On WIPs in question: I'm thinking I will probably pick my soulmate au fic called Meet the Parents/When You're an Adult You'll Understand, or a trans au called Fraternity house, orrrrr this magical Agony-Aunt fic called Basilton Grimm-Pitch’s 10 Step Plan for Getting Over*(letting himself be in love with) Simon Snow ).

And I'm planning to interact more with wip-wednesdays and six-sentence-sundays from now on to keep me motivated and accountable! (hopefully this works, battling my motivation is like trying to wrestle a fish or something... i'm constantly at a loss with my brain - oh why won't I do things that I love and have time to do??)

....Oh and I want to make some Carry On animations.... (this is probably why I don't do things... Too ideas many and hard to pick. I tried to make a schedule last night that included everything I wanted to do in a day and it was 35 hours long... oops).

*The Long Summer* is a harry potter fic, and since I know all of you lovely people from Carry On, and I know lots of people avoid hp stuff for obvious reasons (JKR is wrong! Trans liberation now!), I will keep the rest of this under the cut <3

here are the first six sentences from my 💗beloved fic💗:

Ron Weasley wasn't an introspective soul. By the time something actually rolled around to happening he would probably have had twelve chances to predict it, if he was Hermione. He presumed something like this would never have happened to Hermione. Summers were probably a lot more quiet in the Muggle world, as an only child, with parents who weren’t - well Hermione was so smart she probably already knew, no there was really no reason to write to her. And Harry - well he didn't want to write to Harry about it either.  Honestly, it would probably be better if he never found out.

(I wrote these when I was 16 and they may need editing but that's for future me to worry about - rn I'm trying to push out a first draft as fast as possible...)

Thank you to anyone who read this far!

Hi!'s, tags, and hand-hearts to everybody 🫶 @stitchy-queerista, @umdiasujo, @carpeosculum, and open tag to anyone who wants to be tagged! <3

girly can you pleaseee share tips on how to start writing fics on tumblr!!

Hello darling!

I really don't know if i'm the best person to say this but i will try to be of more help to you.

I have written books, stories and poems (that i haven't finished yet) since i was a teenager. I always liked reading, movies, television series and that helps you feed your imagination. Creativity has always been my greatest strength. I think that if you have a little creativity and your mind allows you, you can do anything, romance, comedy, poems, horror stories, etc. You have to open your mind in every way and think about every detail that has to be transmitted and understood by others 🪽🩷

Here i will leave you some of my tips. I hope they help you 💌

1. Read books. Too many. of any genre, in any language, by any author, short or long books. That helps you open your mind, learn structures and shape your creativity. 📚🗂️📰

2. Watch movies, series, video stories, listen to audiobooks, television shows, look for vocabulary in your language, expand your ideas. 🎬🎥📺

2. Learn words, synonyms, antonyms, spelling, phrases, dictionaries, as if you were in kindergarten but that will help you perfect your vocabulary. 📖📗📃

3. Look for images, songs, characters, colors, places, clothes, anything that helps you put an image to your story. It's like bringing it to life and will help you organize how you would like it to look. 🔍🖼️🎧

4. If you have a general idea, write it down quickly in a note and then over the days you will adjust it little by little. There are days when you will be more inspired than others, write little by little about that idea. 📝📒📑

5. Once you have the story you now have to correct it. Look for spelling errors, read each sentence to see what is right, change it if you don't like it, expand the sentences when necessary. And so you will have what you want. 🖊️📄🔎

6. Remember to be as original as possible, don't try to copy sentences, or take some ideas from other stories. Always try to create your own story. You can be inspired but never copy. Remember quote authors, artists or anyone you've been inspired by. 📧©️✍🏻

I hope this helps anyone who needs it. If you have any questions or want my help with something, my direct messages are open for you 🩷

Thank you for the love, always.

Strawberry kisses for all 🍓

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💙

Hiya, friend! Thanks for sending this to me! This will probs be a mix of HP and TW (since I'm writing for both fandoms now), so here goes: Harry Potter: 🖊️ Where do we go from here? (Perciver, WIP series, G-T, 4/13 ficlets)

All the missing moments we didn’t get to see between Percy and Oliver. This is a one-shot fic series that explores their complicated journey of how they went from being friends, to friends with benefits, to eventual long-term lovers.

Okay, fine. This has 4 ficlets so far in this series, but I am soo proud of them all since this whole story arc was how I got back into writing again 2 years ago. Had it not been for this series, I definitely wouldn't be writing fic right now, and I owe it to Perciver for recharging and revamping my writing style to what it is today.

🖊️ Again and Again (Ginsy, E, 400 words)

Pansy never thought Ginny Weasley would get on her knees and go down on her in the Harpies’ locker room. But here they were, where anyone could see them.

This is a (spicy) drabble, and it was nice to write more sapphics fic this year. I love the energy between Ginny and Pansy, and it was a fun challenge to write something that captured the heat of a moment (with a hell lotta kinks) in so few words. Definitely a mission accomplished!

🖊️ Love you (for the rest of my life) (Deamus, 12-part microfic series, G-E, 600 words)

You're all my strength and my weakness, and that's when I knew you were the one... A collection of microfics that captures and highlights missing moments over the years between Seamus Finnigan and Dean Thomas.

It has been a hot minute since I wrote anything for Dean and Seamus, so I'm glad I got to write something fun for them during Microfic May! I feel like there are so many perspectives we haven't seen, so it just made sense to capture a glimpse of moments as friends who become eventual lovers. Each microfic can also be read individually under the tag #love you for the rest of my life.

Teen Wolf:

🖊️ Made From Scratch (Sterek, T, 2k)

Derek missed Stiles. He hadn’t realized how much…until now. Something had to change. But where did he even start? [Or: That one time Derek makes dinner for Stiles, thanks to inspiration from a family recipe and some nudging from Cora.]

I'm really proud of this one since a. I wrote this in 2 weeks for an exchange, b. the requirement was 2k max or less, and c. it was my first time writing in Derek's PoV. I loved doing all the cooking research and adding some Hale roots. Derek is so soft, even though he tries to deny it. Also, sibling dynamics ftw!

🖊️ Feel You Breathing (Sterek, E, 8.4k)

Derek: So, you need a distraction. Stiles: Maybe Stiles: It’d be better if you were here to help me with that. Stiles: ;D [Or: Sexy things start late one night when Derek gets a text from Stiles and escalate from there. A few secrets are revealed along the way.]

I just posted this fic up last week, but I'm reccing it (again) since it's my first text fic ever, it's stylized with a skin (but can also be read in plain text), and it's the longest thing I've written since I started writing again. This was my biggest writing challenge to date because it took 3 attempts to write a text fic. I had lots of fun making Stiles and Derek banter and choosing all the emojis though. It was such a different way of writing dialogue only (and much harder to code than I thought, heh). So worth it though!

[jinkookspencil]

1 year of jinkookspencil!

hi hi tumblr! it's officially been a year of jinkookspencil and this blog! 1 year of writing and sharing my own bts fanfics! and actually, a little over a year of reading fanfics as well! i'm also getting close to a follower milestone which is insane, it's already more followers than i've had on tumblr during its prime!

it's an absolutely insane, unbelievable thing to say. i truly never thought if i'd make it this far or if i'd keep it up.

i wanted to prepare a fic or a headcanon post for today, to celebrate, but i ended up having an absolutely horrible night, crying for hours and just needing the comfort of reading other fics. i know my writing speed isn't the fastest, but despite everything and all the self-hatred emotions i'm feeling tonight, i will say that i'm at least proud of myself for keeping it up, but also for ever starting in the first place.

as i mentioned in my now one-year-old introductory post, i've always wanted to write fiction and it was so daunting to take the leap into (fan)fiction and every tiny ounce of support means the world. writing these fics has become another helpful outlet for me - i hope my fics helped you in some way and i hope you continue to read/like my work. i know i have a long way to go and improve, and I hope to!

still, the fact that people have read, liked, reblogged, and recommended the things i've written... it truly makes me emotional. i don't know if i would've kept it up if it weren't for the amazing community on here. thank you thank you thank you tumblr, thank you ARMY 💜

everybody i used to talk to has sadly deactivated but on the off-chance they're reading this: thank you as well you lovely souls!  

(and I will always be here for my chubby/plus/curvy folks <3) 

Once again, thank you lovely ARMYs!

APOBANGPO!

Lots of love from Pen 🖊️

[omgkalyppso]

🖊️+ Fae please? 💖

I appreciate you asking about Fae! Thank you.

Started over three times because talking about Fae often leads to oversharing.

They're very personal to me. I love them dearly. I love their relationships and how they love and how they're met with mindfulness and support and friendship and desire. They're not a self-insert but they are wish fulfillment.

I have so many unfinished fics featuring Fae already that I've stopped myself from starting more, but after the year I've had of (not) writing, that may have been a bad decision / stumped me creatively.

Single Parent AU

I let myself write a little vampire!Fae x Lorenz: 3,000 word E rated fic on ao3

But I really didn't lean into starting my Monster AU. Little post. 1,375 word M rated post. I have so much blocked dialogue from last year, have some more (Claude is a fairy, Lorenz is a mage / wizard / hedge witch):

Claude: Hunters? (floating upside down somewhere in Lorenz’s line of vision)

Lorenz: Humans who dislike monsters, fairies included.

Claude: Then I should look different. (poof. He’s normal sized)

Lorenz: Heavens. Could you always do this?

Claude: I don't know … it's been a while since I learned, I think.

Lorenz: That's not what - ugh. Okay fine, you need clothes. Come on.

Claude: If you insist.

Claude: (being stuffed into some robes, maybe a tie or cravat or something) That tickles!

Lorenz: Sit still.

Claude: This is fun. More fun than waiting for you to court me, at any rate.

Lorenz: Court you?

Claude: I mean, the milk and cakes were fine conversation, but the baubles and cherries - that was romantic, wasn't it? I left you those crystals as thanks. (pointing somewhere in the room) There's one. So you liked them?

Lorenz: You're mistaken, or I was.

Claude: Oh. Oh well. (now fully dressed) Eugh, what is this?

Lorenz: The clothing that will make you pass for— No. What? (claude has shrunk himself back to tiny size so the clothes start falling, unfilled, then poofs back to full size, but the clothing is different, ending this transformation by kissing Lorenz)

Claude: Better.

Lorenz: (rubbing his mouth) Too rich. Lose the ruffles. (Claude does)

---

It'll be silly but if it gets written, hopefully it will be fun.

I've also been rotating a longer Fae-as-a-student AU, and a segment where (have a read more this time)

Byleth takes Lorenz to tea for his birthday, a gift of roses. Fae presents him with a garland of white roses flowers of lesser care, and Lorenz feels obligated to refuse such a romantic gift from a commoner for the sake of imagined eligible ladies scrutinizing his behaviour or the possibility that his father might find out.

I put Fae's dorm beside Lyisthea's (which I guess is also beside Mercedes', but I thought Mercie was in the middle of Lysithea and Leonie but I was wrong), and imagine Lysithea looking tired and approaching Claude, initially saying she needs a favour but when Claude looks All Too Delighted at the prospect of her owing him something she quickly corrects herself to say that she needs him to act as house leader and go check on Fae after hearing them crying.

Fae doesn't tell Claude what about and he doesn't press after asking if it's homesickness; Fae asks to sit next to him for the day.

Lorenz: They're lovely—

Fae: Oh, I—

Lorenz: But it would be inappropriate for me to accept them. Garlands like these are romantic, meant to be given with Hope's of affection. Perhaps it is your Adrestian upbringing that caused you to forget? My father would be very cross if he discovered I had accepted a gift like this from a commoner.

Fae: Of course, I … hadn't been thinking. I should have chosen another flower. My apologies, and happy birthday.

.

Lysithea: Claude, I need a favour— No. I need you to be a house leader.

Claude: Oh? What's up?

Lysithea: Fae cried for hours last night. Do you mind checking on them?

Claude: Yeah, get some rest, I'll talk to Hanneman.

Lysithea: Well, I'm not going to be late. Just see that they're alright so it doesn't happen again.

.

Fae: Claude.

Claude: Hey there. Rough night? Homesick?

Fae: I'm sorry.

Claude: No need to apologize. But uh, is it something I can help with? [they shake their head] No? Do you want me to get—? [Fae interrupts, afraid he may suggest Lorenz before Zoran]

Fae: No, I— I am sorry. You're enough. More than enough. And good company. May I sit with you today?

Claude: [uncomfortable with vulnerability] Sure thing. [some self-aggrandizing babble]

.

Hanneman: And what was the name of this blightful creature that shook southern Fodlan to its very core?

Claude: The shining locust.

Hanneman: Correct. Yes, Lorenz?

Lorenz: Professor, I do not think it's appropriate to recognize Claude's contribution when he is so clearly passing notes during your lecture.

Claude: Oh, you mean this note? [holding up a piece of paper, acting as though he's reading it but I haven't decided if he's lying about the contents] What is that smell?

Hanneman: Is there an odor, Faedolyn?

Fae: I thought so, it may have been something stuck to a log in the fire. Burning moss, or something.

Hanneman: [looking to take their temperature with the back of his hand] May I? You know smells associated with distress is one way for the body to alert oneself to unwellness.

Fae: [conceding] I'm sure I'm fine.

Hanneman: Yes?

Fae: Thank you.

Hanneman: Do speak up, all of you, if there is some manner of disturbance in the class affecting your learning.

Droning, as a group: Yes, professor.

Hanneman: And Lorenz?

Lorenz: Yes, professor?

Hanneman: This was not a test. I would appreciate it if more of the class spoke up more often, but in the meanwhile, if comfort dictates that your knowledge be shared quietly with those who will contribute, then I am satisfied. And that it is the next Grand Duke forging bonds, well, I am encouraged. [Claude being unduly smug]

Lorenz: Of course, professor, I will endeavor to remember this is a forum.

Hanneman: Very good.

.

And thinking of the ethereal moon ball, and still Claude dancing first with Byleth; and Fae dancing first with family: Linhardt (before he falls asleep) and Zoran, still, twice with Claude early and once with Claude late, most of the rest of my favorites somewhere in between, and maybe most with Hilda if everyone is sick of swaying - but the dancing is a novelty for Fae, and an excuse to be out of conversation, even if it's tiring. and maybe by the time Lorenz has worked through the major and minor nobility, successful or otherwise in roping them into dance and conversation, and thinks it might be appropriate to dance with an old friend - Fae and Claude are off somewhere having Claude's goddess tower conversation (Byleth gets Dimitri's in this outline).

.

I worry a lot of the little scenes in that AU would be boring. dfghgdfhdg

[daisychainsandbowties]

💖🤔🖊️ :)

💖 what do you like most about your own writing?

oh well my favorite thing is when the narrative sort of sneaks meaning inside itself. things like when the narrative reflects something the characters say in dialogue, or there's a central point of orientation in the narrative - i liked this especially in orbital mechanics which is perhaps my most beloved of my fics - because it's literally about the gravity of language.

i just love how meaning orbits meaning and exposes meaning, sneaking thing under the radar and launching them at mach speed in a single sentence. it's a poetry thing i guess, or at least that's where i picked up the habit, but i just really love twisting and turning around a moment or a fragment of meaning and forcing language to curve & accommodate it, like massive bodies cause dents in spacetime. it's the thing i like the most about the writing process itself - that moment when all the threads arrive back in my hands, so it's probably my favorite thing about the way i write

🤔 what's the hardest part of writing fic?

i would say consistent characterization, but i actually enjoy writing a little to the left or right of characters - as in, i'm easy with not getting them canon-compliant all the time. i adore the differences in how writers interpret characters - the lack of a pattern is a pattern, especially when it's written with this mutual understanding of a character 'at stake'. i find fics where lilith is an unrelenting asshole as enjoyable as fics where the Soft Bitch side of her is more evident. (i definitely have on Opinion on which is 'correct', but i love all of it. i only dislike when people write a character & it's obvious they don't love them. i think that's pretty easy to spot.)

oh but answering the actual question in a very meta way because the hardest part for me of writing fic is keeping inside of a scene. i just love to meander around in time and space. love a good old flashback. love to contextualise and recontextualise and fuck with linearity, but some fics need me to be in control and i simply... am not usually. so that's definitely what i find hard - i.e. going on a tangent inside of a tangent. going back in time when i'm already back in time. i have to dig myself out of inception-type situations with my writing all the time, and with fic i'm usually more permissive with myself as far as this habit goes because that's my space where i write simply for fun & happiness & sometimes to work through things, but usually the narrative itself really doesn't like to be punched full of holes like that, so yeah, definitely find it difficult to resist Doing That in fic.

🖊️ post a snippet from a current WIP. since i'm really in the halo!lilith sauce today we'll do a bit more of that.

tw for blood & gore

///

lilith collapses. she wants to describe her body as curling, but what it does, in fact, is curdle. It sours in her hands and in her knees and she is suddenly on the floor. no transition, no chronology. one moment she is standing, dripping head to toe in blood, and the next she is staring at beatrice through the tomb of her strewn limbs. there’s a terrible noise inside her body; the halo roiling inside her, red flashing under her skin like she is full of sirens.

she fades, watching beatrice wrench the blade of her spear from inside a body – a wet, suctioning sound like a mouth coming away from a nipple, and when she wakes up it is with the taste of iron and soot and something faintly sweet inside her mouth.

beatrice. bringing her back from the brink of unraveling with a kiss. bruise-hard, abandoned on her face – not like something worthless but like the kiss itself was too much to hold onto, like she had no choice but to leave it there.

the spectre of her resolves, and lilith will forever describe her like this. a ghoul, a phantom, a dog-earned page in the strangeness of the world. something to which she is always returning. a shore, an ocean, a pattern inside the world.

she is the first thing lilith sees, and she is not certain if her heart stopped beating - it feels too powerful, to frantic inside her - but she aches everywhere. especially at the points where Beatrice’s fingers score into her forearms, holding her loosely aloft off the concrete floor.

there is no one left living in the room.

aside from us. lilith almost says it aloud.

she shows beatrice all her pink teeth. it is not funny and the room is all shadows but the halo pinches her eyes - cruel mistress - and shows her snatches of the scene that unspools behind beatrice.

it is contrasted by her concern, the tremble in her bottom lip, bitten bloody. the leak of fluid down her face.

(lilith tells herself it could be anything, in this light, but she knows. bodies are so full of water)

the warehouse is littered with objects. her mind wants to say with corpses but a foul, pedantic piece of her, no doubt transplanted directly from the girl who is holding her, argues that a corpse must be intact, somewhat, to be considered itself.

the room, if strict definitions are adhered to, is full of body parts. a torso decorating the gantry with one arm still attached, dangling and dripping a weird stripe of red onto the ground underneath. the dusty concrete ribboned like lilith took a paintbrush to it, but she used a man. a boy, really, caving in around her outstretched hand as though she held him entire.

other details throw themselves at her. a pony-tail lying sopping on the ground; someone’s shoe, sitting perfectly upright like one of those stupid art pieces.

here is some experimental art, lilith thinks raggedly. she wants to say mirthlessly but she finds it funny, God help her. we could call it performance art, even, if it was not entirely real. there has to be some pretense in art, or it cannot be beautiful.

[television-bodies]

💖🖊️😈🌝 🧠💻

💖 What do you like most about your own writing?

oh wow what a one to start off with…. i write in a style that reads easily to me, so even when i look back at my ‘older’ fics on my ao3 (that sounds kinda ridiculous seeing as my account is relatively new) i still think they read alright, even if i wouldn’t necessarily write those plots now.

🖊 Post a snippet from a current WIP.

i am enjoying my silly bahorel/feuilly fake dating/gay chicken wip at the moment and hope to actually get somewhere close to posting it in the near (?) future so have some of that!

He tips his voice low and smooth. “Hey, Feuilly.” Feuilly raises his eyebrows and swallows, lowering his bottle from his mouth. “This sounds dangerous.” “You know what we should do? We should one-up them.” “What?” “You, me.” Bahorel points at each of them in turn, just to be super clear. “Pretend to date. Act like we figured it out first.” Feuilly looks at him for a second, then laughs in disbelief. “Figured what out, asshole? There’s nothing here.” Bahorel rolls his eyes. “I know that, and you know that, but they don’t have to know that. People change, y’know. We’re already together all the time. Maybe you finally came to your senses and realised how goddamn sexy I am. It’s plausible.” “It’s ridiculous.” “It’s fantastic.” Bahorel punches him in the arm. “C’mon, man. It’ll be fun.”

😈 Is there anything you enjoy doing that you think your readers hate?

i don’t Know… there are things i’m a little insecure about in my writing but i honestly don’t want to bring attention to them in case someone sees this, then starts noticing my insecurities in my writing and then it starts pissing them off 😭 yknow

🌝 Who is one character you haven’t yet written for that you would like to?

wildly, i do not think i’ve really posted any éponine! i love when she’s in fics as grantaire’s best friend and i have done this in drafts that have never been posted, but i hope to do it in something that actually sees the light of day soon. my exr 90s music au, perhaps, in which they are genuine platonic soulmates

🧠 What’s an idea you have that you can’t quite call a WIP yet?

the farcical triumvirate meeting au i have in which courfeyrac and enjolras try to kidnap some corrupt politician or something but accidentally get combeferre instead <3 feel like i may need to brainstorm it with someone to get it going

💻 Do you do research for your fics? What’s the deepest dive you’ve done?

i do! in terms of published fics i think i went on a bit of a dive to do with gunshot wounds for until the end of everything, but ended up scrapping the advice i read about them because i was writing someone dealing with it kind of badly…. in terms of wips though, broken record (exr 90s au) has involved many research dives already and i’ve barely started writing it. i’ve been on the eastenders wiki page more than you can imagine. i’ve raided my dad’s CD cupboard for 90s albums that maybe haven’t stood the test of time so that i can put them in as new releases. i read maybe the whole wikipedia page for the eurostar. that one’s going to take a bit out of me i think

thank you so much for the ask!

ask game

[bright-and-burning]

fic writer asks: 12 and 18? 🖊️

12. a trope you’re really into right now

to read or to write? can i say everything?? everything. i very very very rarely seek out tropes, exactly, when it comes to reading new stuff (more so pairing and rating). monsterfucking if i have to pick one!!! spent like 8hrs discussing this w kee the other day (and a further amount w brid, and a little bit more with— ok so actually this isn’t even an “if i had to pick one” lol)

for writing… i did just cook up an insane fuck or die idea but idk if i have the background to execute (any devoted star trek fans amongst the mutuals??). honestly picking any one thing is impossible bc i am all over the place. my wips are a MAZE. i’ve been kind of on a domesticity kick ignoring the fuck or die thing?? which probably says smthn abt my unmet needs or something that i spend all my free time day dreaming abt domesticity. hm.

18. if you keep them, share a deleted sentence or paragraph from a published fic

is it weirder for me to say i don’t really delete sentences/paragraphs?? if im deleting something it’s bc it was a placeholder, like written in all lowercase, some inane bullshit in brackets, that kind of thing. like, “[REFERENCE TO THE PIASTRI YKWIM]” which is a real line i wrote and deleted from ch2 of relax and catch the manic rhapsody to replace w an actual sentence, but isn’t something id consider a true “deleted sentence” lol. i’ve definitely almost never ever deleted something more polished like loooong after i’ve written it. immediately after? yes, in which case im not keeping it bc i already know it won’t be useful. long after? no.

TLDR i don’t keep them i guess 😭😭😭 for your time tho below the cut is a really silly example of a sentence that im gonna edit to smithereens but won’t get deleted (actually two)

from here

And then Lando shifts up, moves a little behind him to readjust his grip, and [it’s soooo good]. Oscar moans, loud and cracked open, unable to catch it behind his teeth in time.

also that bit where i was like “i will NOT write the words ‘caught between a cock and hard place’” or whatever. not a deleted sentence bc i never wrote it down!! i just chewed on it til it came out right

📊 Current number of WIPs: lmao embarrassingly enough, i have 5 wip fics and i have like 2 drawing ideas that i want to make soon. that doesnt include all the replies im still making and unfortunately i have finals but its all gonna be good!

🖊 Post a snippet from a current WIP. okay im feeling generous so im posting from two wips, but youre gonna guess where theyre from ^^

“Getting a little excited now, are we?” You purred, pulling your face away from his. He hesitated to break the kiss, inching his lips closer to yours even as you talked. “Sorry, s-sorry. Got a little carried away.” You wondered what got him to be so clingy and affectionate. You’re well aware of him being loving and tender, but it’s another thing to have him absolutely smitten while you’re doing nothing special. Little did you know that to him, everything involving you is special. Even the texts you sent earlier and the ones you sent before. He couldn’t stop thinking about them; who wouldn’t, especially when you were being such a tease?

In swift and graceful steps, your arms slid up and delicately down his sides, not missing the way he shivered and smiled, before harshly grabbing his hips. “You know I’m yours.” “Fuck, I told you not to make it harder for me.” You looked down to see what he hissed at. Turns out you were making it harder for him; his erection was straining against his dress pants and he kept himself from worsening the pain. “Need me to help?”

🌝 Who is one character you haven’t yet written for that you would like to? honestly, ive always wanted to write a svt fic. i actually already have a story idea in mind for mingyu (delulu much…i know) but i want to finish my other projects first! ive also started writing for dj!chan bc that au is my goddamn Baby

Hi, I'm Foxglove/Fox. I also sometimes go by Dawn. 27.

Don’t follow me if you’re under 18, a t//e//r//f, any kinda sexuality or gender identity ‘phobic’, or an an///ti.

Please don’t send me asks asking for money. I’m broke as fuck, and I can’t tell if any of them are real in the first place cause there have been bots asking me for money before and I just don’t answer them anyway.

ADHD & Spoonie

I am pro ship (aka ship and let ship, your ship is not my ship, fictional characters are not real people, they are lines on paper, and you are perpetuating purity culture. Please get some vitamin d, and take breaks from online spaces when you need to. Also antis made up the whole ‘pro shippers romanticize abuse’ thing. It literally just means, I don’t care about what you ship as long as we are all in agreement that it’s FICTION).

Sometimes this blog has nsft stuff on it (the tag is spicy if you wanna blacklist it).

Messages/DMs are really hard for me to reply to, if you wanna talk to me it’s best to do it in an ask, I have an easier time with those (on anon or not, up to you🩵)

In too many fandoms to count, and when I’m in a fandom I have a ship✨ I like shipping, and reading/writing fic; my main hobbies. If I where to say I was ‘in a fandom’ tho it would be these + my main ship from it (for more ships I have a whole list linked down below, and I am a multi shipper):

BatFam/DC: JayTim and SladeDick

CoD:MW: soapghost

Captain America: Stucky.

Sleep Token: 🤷🏼

Dune: FeydPaul

Assassin’s Creed: AltDes

All for the Game: andreil and kevneil

DbD/GhostFace in general: 🤷🏼

Are fic prompts open?: Yes! Send in your fic prompts! I can not promise I’ll get to them fast, but I Will Get To Them! (Check my ship list, I’ll write almost anything I read for, and anything with a 🖊️ next to it means I’ve written it before already <3.) Link to the tag of prompt lists if you wanna use one of these

Oof this is long lol. For this ask

....

💖 What do you like most about your own writing? I think I like writing a character's inner monologue the best. Even if it's a third-person writing style with minimum inner monologue. Just the short snarky comments or sudden realisation or general musings. It's fun.

😐 What embarrasses you most about your own writing? Dialogues, especially banter. I struggle so much while writing them. Also how much my writing style changes (at least according to me) from one chapter to another.

🧠 What’s an idea you have that you can’t quite call a WIP yet? Oh there are so many of those. Just ideas upon ideas in my head that I'm either too lazy or don't have enough time to write. If I start listing them then I'll be here all day long.

🌙  What time of day do you prefer to write? Why? Night. Mainly because that's the only time of the day I can write peacefully without hindering any studies or other work. Though evenings are fun to write in as well. I edit though whenever I feel free.

📊 Current number of WIPs Umm... several. But there are only 3 I'm actively working on, 2 that I'm posting.

🤔 What is the hardest part of writing fic? Getting into the flow of it. It's not exactly writer's block but sometimes I just can't get into the story. Like I can write but just not with the same passion and I think that shows.

🌈 What inspired you to write [insert fic here]? Honestly, what inspired me to write were the lack of fanfics rather than a certain one. There are many fanfics out there that have influenced my writing. Sometimes I would get an idea in my head and I'd want to read about it but wouldn't find any fanfics like that. So then I decided to write my own instead.

👩‍🏭 If one of your fics was going to get you arrested, which one and why? Honestly don't know. Ig there was an unfinished fanfic series I had written a while ago called "I'm Back" which was about vengeance and all and was really crime/thriller type. My google history when I was writing that fic was NOT pretty.

🍰 Name one of your fave comfort fics (doesn’t have to be your all time fave). All my cards are here def. Also, Breeze just because it's so deliciously angsty. All the Young Dudes is in there too but it's really long so I REALLY need to be in the mood for it if I want to read it. And yes, my idea of comfort is torturing myself.

📚 Do you read your own fic? All the time. Like I said, I started writing because I wanted to create fics that I wished to read. So if I don't like reading my own fics then what's the point in putting them out there in the world.

🖊 Post a snippet from a current WIP. This is from my Merlin fic 'It's a Classic Tale'.

'“King trumps Prince, though. Right boys?”

Arthur frowned confusedly at those words just as Emrys pulled out a crown- his FATHER’s crown- from the bag hanging on his side, swinging it up to rest onto his still hooded head.

Immediately a raucous cheer went amongst his group- cries of “We did it!” and “Good job!”s filled the air while Arthur looked on in disbelief.

“HOW DARE YOU?” he screamed.

Emrys, who by that point had gotten distracted by his friends’ cheers, looked back with a twinkle in his eyes. He locked eyes with the Prince and bowed his head slightly.

“It’s all part of my charm,” he spoke amused, slowly walking backwards toward the edge of the forest.

“Hope those idiots rescue you soon. Wouldn’t want his royal highness to get eaten by a bear” he finished laughing and gave a final cocky wave before he headed into the trees, crown still on his head. The rest of the band all laughed (“Ha! I knew he was a damsel.”) and followed their leader, disappearing from view in a matter of minutes.

Arthur screamed in rage.

He stayed there for the rest of the night, no bears but his armour definitely poking him in uncomfortable places.'

📝 What is one growth area you have for your writing? To be able to balance out creating fillers without making the fic too lengthy or tedious to read. Also, banter because I struggle with them as I mentioned.

💭 What is a headcanon you have about your own work? Merlin's asexual.

👀 Do you have any WIPs that you would never let see the light of day? If yes, what are they about? There was this one fic that was extremely angsty which I wrote when I was bitter and at a low point. It wasn't angsty in a, "Ooh, I love this fic but it wrenches my heart out!" It was more like a, "This fic is ridiculously depressing, the characters are all whiny and the author needs to chill." I made my main character miserable. So yeah, that fic will never see the light of day.

🌝🖊️🌈?

Who is one character you haven't yet written for that you would like to?

Well, there's not really a character I haven't written at this point. I've only written Mala a little bit though, so I think I would like to write more of her.

Post a snippet from a current WIP.

For day 17 of AU_gust, Wings:

A cool breeze swept through Hiccup’s hair, stirring him awake. He moaned a little, wanting to get back to sleep. He curled his wings tighter around himself, cuddled into his partner’s back.

“Hiccup,” the whisper came a few minutes later. Or maybe it was only seconds. He wasn’t sure.

“Mm?”

“We should get up.” It was Astrid, his partner, his lover. She smoothed a hand through his hair, her touch much warmer than that of the wind. “We need to hunt for the day.”

“Thought we… had a whole deer,” Hiccup mumbled. He squinted at her.

“Yeah, looks like Snotlout and the twins got into it,” Astrid told him. “And it’s gone.”

Hiccup sighed in frustration. They were supposed to try to preserve their food, not eat all of it at once!

He stood on the branch and stretched, spreading his wings wide, shaking out his tail and ear fins. His left leg ended in a stump, and was supported by a wooden structure they’d crafted to save him his ability to walk and stand. He mostly used his wings and tail for balance now.

Oh, for the rainbow emoji I need the name of a fic!

For the Fanfic Ask Game (the movie, the sequel)

💖 😐 👻 👀 📥 🖊️ 😈 🌝 🧠 💭 🍰👩‍🏭

Ooooh thank you for so many!

💖 What do you like most about your own writing?

I love how I get into characters heads. Even when I’ve been writing crack ships, I’ve never been told it’s OOC which I’m really proud of.

😐 What embarrasses you most about your own writing?

Idk if it’s embarrassing to read but I get really embarrassed writing smut. Like, blush all over.

👻 What is one WIP you think you may never pick back up?

I have a half written fic of if Hailey and Kim traded places in 8x16, with Hailey being abducted and Kim going to the warehouse. It’s a oneshot, it’s written up to Kim getting there, I know what I think Kim will do, but idk if I’ll ever write it again.

👀 Do you have any WIPs that you would never let see the light of day? If yes, what are they about?

I nearly had a while fic around Sour by Olivia Rodrigo, based on Adam after the engagement ended. It’s too angsty, even fire me.

Another I might never let anyone see is after she was abducted Kim couldn’t stay a cop, her injuries were too bad. What happens then?

📥 What is your fave fic to receive comments/messages on?

Whatever I’ve most recently published tbh! Although if I pick just one it’s unintentional. That fic keeps getting a lot of hate in FFN, I just need to remember that people enjoyed it.

🖊 Post a snippet from a current WIP.

From the Hailey and Kim swap places fic.

“What did you do, Burgess?” Voight asked, Kim turning once the fax was sending.

“Peter Stone’s back in Chicago in the ASA office, and he owes me a favour. I called it in. Anything we can get a warrant for he’ll get for us within an hour. I filled him in on the phone information, he’s getting it now.”

😈 Is there anything you enjoy doing that you think your readers hate?

Angst? We all know my angst love.

🌝 Who is one character you haven’t yet written for that you would like to?

I’ve never really written anything from Severide’s POV but I’d like to. Or Sean Roman, maybe.

🧠 What’s an idea you have that you can’t quite call a WIP yet?

Something for Matt Casey/Kim Burgess. I’m working out the kinks atm, but I haven’t started a doc yet.

💭 What is a headcanon you have about your own work?

In Unintentional, when Kim was about to tell Jay that Nadia was his in the truck before Hailey called, he was going to ask her out on a date and admit everything.

🍰 Name one of your fave comfort fics (doesn’t have to be your all time fave).

Contentedness by @kim-ruzek. Not. Even. Close.

👩‍🏭 If one of your fics was going to get you arrested, which one and why?

Ooooff. Maybe unintentional for angst?

[onbeinganangel]

I'm gonna pick this one up to shamelessly plug what's currently one of my favourite corners of the drarry fandom: @drarrymicrofic has lots of writers that have only just started writing! Literally for every other prompt we see people saying 'this is the first thing i've ever written for this fandom' or the first thing they've ever written at all.

Of course, we're not a rec blog so we may not be what anon is looking for but I feel like it's a good place to start supporting new writers who may need a little boost or who only have a good handful of kudos on their ao3 or whose fics don't get a lot of reblogs because they're new to fandom!

It's worth checking the blog itself because we get dozens of submissions for every prompt but off the top of my head, here are a few names producing stellar content who have only recently started posting or i don't see getting hyped much: @caffeinefics @phoebedelia @isamijoo @opaleopioid @lyssarose @apr1cots @moonstruckwytch @americanmoths @undercoverwarlock @flightytemptress27 @cluelesspigeons @gryffindorhearts @i-love-books-and-so-do-you @m0srael @dynazty @dracothecupcake @calypsotempete @ghaniblue @aneiria-writes @drarrymybeloved @orange-peony @avenueofesc @bubble-gumhead @sweet-s0rr0w @joonkorre @softlystarstruck @starlitsilvereyes @graymatters @mysticdreamerwrites @nv-md aaaaaaand maybe i'll leave it there even though there's dozens upon dozens more!

Lots of different styles, with anything from micro to epic word counts, lots of different tropes, themes and genres, but all incredibly talented 💛🖊️✨

For your milestone follower count celebration: recs on lesser known writers.

You often rec the big names, all of whom are amazing and talented and produce brilliant fics. But what about the phenomenal stories from people who are not “famous” in fandom. Having a rec list on that would be nice.

Hello there! I really like this idea and I’ll try my best to deliver in the next few weeks. I wonder if anyone else feels the same? I just wanted to make a small remark: I can see why you’d think that I mostly rec big names if you only look at my reclists - but until very recently I used to publish single fic recs on a daily basis, and a lot of them were lesser known fics, published by lesser known writers. You can check them on #drarry fic rec if you’d like. I wrote almost 300 recs in 2020 alone, which is pretty crazy now I look at it!

Unfortunately I haven’t been able to keep track of fandom recently, and a lot of what’s booming on AO3 and Tumblr is going off my radar. I plan to catch up soon enough, but I gotta admit I’m not the best reference when it comes to recent works and authors, because I’ve barely read a thing in the past 3-4 months. Thanks for the suggestion though, I appreciate it!
