genuinely, the portal/ffvii crossover fic you did had me obsessively re-reading again and again for a week and got me hardcore back into portal!! your writing in that was downright addictive and I L O V E it! I also love how you based GeN after GLADoS but he's still distinctly Genesis. always a great read, I come back to it at LEAST once a month lol

Oh my goodness thank you so much.

Portal truly is an incredible game, both of them. I only was able to play them fairly recently, but they sucked me in and I screamed to everyone around me that they should play it. It's part puzzle, part dark humor, and a lot of ghost story really. That's why I thought it fit so perfectly with Crisis Core.

I had a blast writing it, and I still read it myself because I'm just so happy with how it turned out when I finished. Thank you to everyone who found the same joy as me.

If you want to read the Fic, it's right here: Test Notes from the ShinRa Handheld Portal Device

#thank you so much #it's one of the fics I'm most proud of #but not everyone has to agree #i'd love to read another portal/ff7 crossover

Your Favourite Author's Favourite Fic

in no way is this me sneakily trying to get fic recs out of people, but here's my new tag game!

Rules! When tagged, reblog with the fic you've written that you love the most

Not the fic with the most kudos, or the most comments, or the most hits, but the fic that you're the most proud of. I'm talking about the story that kept you up at night, the one that you still think about, the one that you wish more people would read

So, it's time to show off! I strongly encourage - in fact, I demand - that you give yourself some compliments, a well-deserved pat on the back, and tell us all the reasons why it's your favourite!

Then tag five people and make them go through it, too 🥰🩷

I'll tag @wolfjackle, @tourettesdog, @gilbirda, @die-erlkonigin6083, and @thewritingowl to get us started, please and thank you!!

#tag game #fic game #fanfic #ao3 #fic recs #look. i've had a summer where i've not been able to catch up on anything #so this is my not so sneaky way of asking for your best reads lmao #also!!!! the fic that pops off is not necessarily the one that you think is the best!#a lot of what gets popular on ao3 is pure luck (like anything!)#and what you like the most might not be what's popular #and i would really love to give the chance for authors to showcase a fic they're proud of but might not get the most likes #or w/e idk - again i just want to read things 🤣#please link something 🙏#also there's so many people i could have tagged up there #i decided on 5 so it would make it easier for other people to tag but like....#honestly might go back or reblog another chain of this with some more people 😅#there are so many authors i love in this fandom ARHGHG you're all so talented!!!#i am incensed!! i want to tag more people!!!!#i'm coming for you fic authors #i'm gonna get ya with me tag games #anyway i'm gonna go to bed my tags are getting too rambly i am sorry #have fun!!!! thank you for playing!!!!

Ain't nothing come easy / No, nothing comes quick / But I want for you this, that you are well / I want for us this, that we are well...

Another illustration of Temeraire-crossover fic — this time, James Norrington and Tempest, from @boltlightning's delightful Pirates of the Caribbean crossover 'windfall / landfall'.

#em draws stuff #em is posting about temeraire #temeraire #pirates of the caribbean #james norrington #temeraire worldbuilding collection #<- since it is a similar sort of Temeraireverse Sidequest to the rest of the drawings in the project #once again drawing off tumblr user travellingdragon's incredible fanart-cataloguing work (as well as anglewing butterflies)#to figure out the look of anglewings for tempest here!#this particular pose was referenced off of jon dxppercxdxver's beautiful babycat for the Most possible kittybaby energy #he would like to show you One Single Paw.#I'm most pleased with the wings tho' -- I often really struggle with wing shapes and I'm So very proud of that partial fold there #also I have Plans for future further art for these fics but for Now they deserve a nice nap on the beach :)#caption lyrics are from 'theseus' by the oh hellos (which has probably been my primary norrington song for Years now...)

Love the way you're running out of life (T+; 1,352)

Draco Malfoy / Harry Potter

Read here on AO3

Part of DCC Holiday Exchange, written for the loveliest @bicholsdrarrysideblog 😚

Tags:

Werewolf Draco Malfoy, Angst, Creature Fic, Obsession, Light Stalking

Summary:

Potter smells of pure magic, and Draco is teetering on the edge of sanity

A lil snippet:

The Forbidden Forest. Stonehenge. Dragons and thestrals and the Whomping Willow. That is what Potter smells like. Like frozen pine sap. Like heated metal. Like every phase of the moon. And it calls to Draco — to his bones, to his blood, to his essence. The call is a million hooks pulling him apart, towards something that isn’t there — or is there, sometimes, when Draco is subjected to existing in the same space as Potter. The scent of him is almost corporeal, then, as it always is on the mornings after a full moon.

#hp #hp fanfic #drarry #drarry fanfic #draco x harry #harry potter #draco malfoy #drarry creative collective #dcc holiday gift exchange 2024 #listen i'm like genuinely proud of this one #i had spectacular help but also like #i'm so pleased with the way this one turned out #AND OBVIOUSLY THE WAY IT WAS RECEIVED #but i finally have something for when people ask 'whats something youve made that youre proud of'#not that i'm not pleased with the other things i've posted #because i am #(for the most part lmao we all have our awkward creations)#(listen i'm like half tempted to fix things in that one old soa fic of mine lmao)#(like i want to rewrite it not to change anything but to expand it based on the skills and points of interest of today)#(but that was a tangent we didn't mean to discuss here)#i am really happy with the stories i've not written but implied at in my microfics and i think that's for me the most fun part of writing #just #this one right here is one more step towards where i want my writing to go and i'm really really happy (-:#hey sorry for rambling on like this in the tags i forgot i was posting a fic and not a diary entry

The Deca itself amazes me, but its fandom is on a whole other level. We have one canon source material (and a few other mentions scattered throughout the Whoniverse), but the fans have managed to tinker with it so much that fanon is actually more popular than canon and more wildly accepted. And I love y'all for it

#doctor who eu #the deca #i don't think there's any mention on the book about Millennia having blue hair? not as far as i recall #and yet everyone agrees that she has blue hair #this little corner of the doctor who fandom is absolutely incredible. my favorite little corner #this post came to me while i was in the shower planning on how i'm going to write my next deca fic #it's been about TWO WHOLE YEARS since i had the idea but i can't pick the right beginning for the story #i think i have a good one now. but i haven't made a lot of progress #is the who tops my one hit wonder? lmao #(not a hit but it's the story i'm most proud of so)#but seriously i have been a deca enjoyer for years ever since i found it which was like in 2014 i think? idk #and i only read the book a few years later and i was like.... “oh. so we made up all the cool stuff about them”#divided loyalties is a good book actually but the fandom made the deca more fun let's all be honest

#Windswept arty rambles ahead #Looking back at my large pen and ink fanart pieces of 2023 and reflecting.#Most of my work involves rare pairs which I know gives them a limited audience. Such is fandom.#So I try not to judge them too much on the amount of likes and reblogs they get. And more on the joy of making them #And the progress I can see with each one.#My lines are sharpening and the detail becoming finer.#I've only just started incorporating colour into them #But I'm happy with the results and would love to work on my ability to do so in 2024.#I'd love to get a few more works in time allowing before the year closes.#I'd love to do a Constantdeath piece.#And a full on 20s themed Desunity work... Going all in with that art deco goodness.#I've drawn something every one of my fics save Metamorphosis too #So I really feel like I should go back and do that at some point #But yeah #overall feeling proud of my progress #sandman fanart #my artwork

This is on my tiktok but I wanted to post it here too bc it's really been bugging me

The caption essentially said that if I see a characterisation I don't like (I used the example of big buff alpha remus) I just scroll because clearly the content was made for someone else and I'm not the target audience

#let people have different interpretations #let out of character fics exist #there's no one right way to write and view a character #if someone wants to throw out canon and write their own interpretation that is AMAZING #if someone wants to explore what one change (such as the black cousins being in an abusive household) could have on the story LET THEM #stop crushing the creativity of young teens because you can't have fun #marauders era #marauders #mwpp #feel kind of bad tagging this with all the fandom tags I'm sorry :/ I just wanted to get it out there #to show people who do write 'ooc' interpretations thay that is FINE #and most people are SO PROUD that you're able to explore and share that creativity with us #dldr #DON'T LIKE DON'T READ #remember that?#there's nothing wrong with liking canon characterisation but you don't have to be a dick about it #you don't have to force it onto everyone around you #they're allowed to make their own versions up #dead gay wizards #id feel so bad putting ship or character tags #bc that's not the content ppl on the tags wanna see so I won't

I was cleaning up my phone, and I stumbled upon my shitty photoshop skills at the high of my Admiral Eyk fic inspiration. Ah, good times.

#1899 netflix #1899 #eyk larsen #admiral eyk #my first fic and the one i am most proud of #i'm not really proud of the photoshop though #yes i am insane #no need to argue #i need him back #sedate me

#i don't think the fic is bad or anything but it fought me more than any story has this year. mostly bc of how i've been feeling?#and i think i could've made it a lot better if i'd shelved it for like two or three months tbh #until i was in the right mindset to try to say what i was trying to say? which is one of the main reasons why i shouldn't do big bangs tbh.#but! it's done. and that's the important thing lmao. and i did say my priority this year is finishing things not making them good #i do feel like. there's? some pressure? well-meaning and incredibly kind to be clear! but i do.#but i feel like i have. expectations? on me? and i'm not sure this is going to live up to them?#which is. like i think the story turned out fine but i feel like ppl expect more than fine? from me?#which!!! sounds conceited!!! i am aware!!! but i don't mean it in conceited i mean it like. i'm /stressed/ lmao.#like i think i'd be more okay with failing to meet my own expectations if ppl were okay w/ expecting less from me?#this is a mess.#i just wish i could be proud that i got it finished and instead didn't feel like i was going to let ppl down who expected more?#anyway. i've been working on my internal expectations this year. and i think next year has GOTTA be about external expectations lmao.#like it's absolutely no one's fault it's my own bad brain and you're absolutely not responsible for my feelings!! it's just.#anyway. i'm going to focus on being proud of myself for finishing it because it was very very very hard for me to do that #so it's done! and that's exciting!#and that's gotta be the most important thing for me rn lmao #stretching that writing muscle tag

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: The Magnus Protocol (Podcast) Rating: Mature Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Major Character Death Characters: Needles (The Magnus Protocol), Original Male Character(s) Additional Tags: Episode: e006 Introductions (The Magnus Protocol), Angst, Needles, Body Horror, Murder, Blood, Original Character Death(s), Character Study, Sort Of, the M rating is for violence not sex but there's A LOT of homoerotic subtext, plus some bdsm vibes but that just comes with the territory i think, (the major character death warning is for the oc) Summary:

Needles finds a new victim - or rather, his victim finds him.

have you been listening to the magnus protocol and found yourself in dire need of a fanfic from the POV of this week’s cringefail tumblr sexyman antagonist? no? too bad, because i wrote one anyway! check it out if you’re a fan of homoerotic stabbing and/or failguys covered in needles.

#i wrote most of this today and did only minimal editing. enjoy.#it's very self indulgent but i'm oddly proud of it #sometimes you just need to write a fic with a target audience of yourself. it's therapeutic #the magnus protocol #tmagp #tmagp spoilers #the magnus protocol spoilers #tmagp fic #needles #(character name and content warning rolled into one. how efficient.)#tmagp needles #my writing

i think. everyone should stop reading my most popular fics that aren't really that good and start reading the ones with 18 kudos that are significantly better

#this is about (just wanna be) somebody i'm proud of #yes i had fun writing it. but it's REALLY NOT THAT GOOD #also i cannot stress this enough: that fic was a fluke #it's NOT a good example of what i write. guys i'm so much better at the angsty character study fics #i promise i actually can get proper characterization. i had to sacrifice some of that for the light-hearted stupid cheesy premise #alas #no one in fandom actually cares about characterization #ngl sometimes i even wonder what the point of writing stuff in-character is if the flat #'characters reduced to a single trait that they may or may not even possess'#fics will ALWAYS end up being more popular than the ones with good characterization #anyway i know why the 18 kudos one is so low. it's the mcd tag. AND it's a gen fic centered around a character no one cares about #i wasn't expecting that one to do well #but it does suck that like. my most popular fics will never actually be my best ones #it's the same with bsd but THAT'S a whole other story #that's the phenomenon of everyone reducing bsd to the skk show and not giving the time of day to fics centered around anyone else #do u guys realize there are SO many other INCREDIBLE characters and dynamics????#like i was doing that bsd fic rec event on twt and almost all of the fics recced were skk #meanwhile i was searching for anything NOT skk bc idk other ships and characters deserve appreciation too??#and i don't even read much skk bc it's so hard to find anything that's. like. ACTUALLY good.#anyway. i don't actually care if you read somebody i'm proud of #but i hate that that's like. one of my most popular fics by a longshot #i have stuff that is so much better that people won't even glance at bc it's not tagged with the most popular m/m ship in the fandom #hello grace here

hi friends!

here's the fic I was talking about for the past few days. I ultimately decided to keep it all in one chapter so for those of you who are like me and prefer shorter chapters, I'm sorry.

also uh. if you get to the end of this fic, thank you and I appreciate your support <3

#pandora writes #obi wan kenobi #this is probably one of the most personal fics i've ever written #i don't think i've ever written something like this #i wasn't expecting it to become what it did but i'm proud of it nonetheless

Kaptein Sabeltann and all the antagonists!

#kaptein sabeltann #greven av gral #miriam av gral #grusomme gabriel #maga khan #ngl I'm super proud of this #probably the most complex piece I've done in while!!#might crop out Sabeltann and make just him a picture too #love that they all have their own props too #this is a “villain pic” because Kaptein Sabeltann is sort of the villian too? Just all the bad guys #it's just a nice collection; a ghost - a vampire - a witch - and a sorcerer #and then Captain Sabeltann - no special powers just the most feared pirate and king of the seven seas #I've recently watched the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy too - and with the One Piece live action coming out #my life is just all pirates atm #did actually write a Sabeltann/Langemann fic but in the process of writing another one too #I'm putting a lot of effort into something only like 3 people care about but I'm having so much fun!! ✨
