Get To Know Me

Hi I'm Teri, I'm 20 y/o and an aroace spec lesbian (I will not justify my sexual/romantic orientation online so if you have a problem with it you can just leave).

I'm autistic and am very passionate about my special interests. I usually cycle through them for longer periods of time (around a year or so), so some special interests lay dormant for a while but (might) come back someday.

My current active special interest is SwanQueen. I joined the fandom in late 2017 and I had 3 special interest revivals (currently in my 3rd SQ era). SwanQueen is my primary and longest lasting special interest (it's been 7 years now damn), even if new special interests come up and SwanQueen gets temporarily sidelined it always comes back and will probably stay with me for the rest of my life.

I'm an avid femslash/wlw ship lover. My OTP is obviously SwanQueen but some other ships I enjoy are...

Siuraine (Moiraine x Siuan from The Wheel of Time)

Agathario (Agatha x Rio from Agatha All Along)

Kirasaya (Kirari x Sayaka from Kakegurui)

Mariri (Mary x Ririka from Kakegurui)

Catradora (Catra x Adora from She-Ra and the Princesses of Power)

Korrasami (Korra x Asami from The Legend of Korra)

HomuMado (Madoka x Homura from Madoka Magica)

Rhaenicent (Rhaenyra x Alicent from House of the Dragon)

Ava x Deborah (from Hacks, although I don't ship them in a traditional sense, I probably ship them more as some form of QPR since I quite like the complex nature of their relationship as depicted in the show, a relationship that cannot be put neatly into a box because it has aspects from all kinds of relationships, romantic and otherwise)

A list of Fandoms I'm in (non-shipping)...

Once Upon a Time (ONLY for SQ, I have an ambivalent relationship with the rest of the show because... obvious reasons)

Avatar the Last Airbender Universe (including The Legend of Korra and Prequel Books)

Kakegurui Universe (Main Series, Twin, Midari and Kakegurui Kari, I prefer the mangas to the anime, although the Twin anime is quite good, the main series anime is a bit oversexualized imo)

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power

Hacks

Agatha All Along

Madoka Magica (only watched original anime series + the 3rd movie)

Arcane

The Wheel of Time (TV Show + read 'New Spring', and while I think the story is good I'm mostly invested for my baby fishwives)

I'm very interested in fandom culture, fanfiction as a whole and tropes. And I would love to discuss these topics with someone so if you're interested hit me up :)

I'm currently working on a worldbuilding website for SwanQueen. Basically I take all the bits and pieces of OUAT I like and change the rest to fit my SwanQueen version.

If I ever find the motivation to sort and polish my thoughts as coherent text, I will post meta analyses (on Tumblr) and the occasional fanfic (on ao3, under the same name as my Tumblr blog). Maybe I will also just dump my thoughts about SQ parallels, symbolism etc. on here (instead of loosing all my genius thoughts by talking to myself lol).

I've been an editor for 7 years now and will occasionally post SQ Edits on Insta (my IG is ortvs).

And most recently I started dabbling in digital fanart (will stick to SQ fanart only).

Other things about me...

I love dogs and I'm part of a service dog team in training. My service dog's name is Fenna, she's 4 years old and a mutt, originally from a shelter in Romania. She's incredibly cute and loooooves cuddles.

Another special interest of mine is autism and disability rights.

fic writer interview

tagged by @meikuree, thanks for having me in mind! It’s been a while since I did one of these.

name: NoxCounterspell

fandoms: Currently writing for Kakegurui and Shingeki no Kyojin.

two-shot: The Beginning and the End (or Knocking on Heaven's door), a Kirasaya (KKG) Fic. This was intended to be a one-shot, however ended up being posted in two chapters because it was too long (insert here cynical laughter when I'm currently posting 14k chapters). The project was conceived by a very creative mind and acquaintance that came to me with a very fucking good outline. Together, we managed to create a very immersing post-canon AU, even if I say so myself. This touched a lot of different subjects, everything revolving around the concepts of family and freedom, right versus wrong, the lack of understanding, psychological projection. One of my favorite parts is the tag Meeting the Parents, and how that can play in how the story is perceived.

most popular multi-chapter: To you, the girls lost in Hell (SnK, Mikannie). An absolute whim of mine, taking Yams story and twisting it and shaping it into a narrative that fits snippets of my own imagination, regarding Annie and Mikasa's relationship (this is basically going to be an enemies, to lovers, to enemies, to friends, to lovers). Really, this is a fic entirely about them, for them and how their basic symbiotic relationship: clashing and attraction impacted everything happening on SnK. This is an excuse to study two characters in canon-verse, getting and providing a humble glimpse of how these characters, in the context they are being written, work. Vomiting a heck ton of my own headcanons, I'm trying to add angst, action, psychology and others to the table, following the overall outline Yams created, but redrawing the entire canvas. Honestly, I'm deeply surprised by how well received the story has been. This will try to keep up the intensity, overall, the outline is designed to play with emotions for the whole ride: we know where we begin and where we are going, but the how it's the sting.

actual worst part of writing: Writer's block. Obsessively researching something to realize it just won't fit the story. Self-doubt. Isolating oneself while writing non-stop. The built-in expectations one may have about their writing that might not be met by the end result.

how you choose your titles: One of my favorite parts of writing it's designing titles. Most of them respond to the question of what does the fic need, how can I guide the reader as to why this has been written? So say, To you, the girls lost in Hell is a direct nod to SnK's first manga chapter and the Light Novel: Lost Girls. This story is for Annie and Mikasa, two girls/women left to their own devices, surviving, searching, trying. A message I hope gets delivered. The Time series (Kirasaya, Meariri, Kakegurui) needs definition. Words are concepts we never really stop to decipher, as much as we ignore human behavior. Defining an entire character study by just one word, the context is easily guided: perhaps Fall is the clearest one, how can a character fall and break without them meaning to? I can rant for days as to what's the process I prefer for title creation, but I can summarize in: how can a whole story be told from the very beginning?

do you outline: Yes. My outlines give me an overall idea of how to get from A to Z, without closing the doors to letters from other alphabets. Pretty much every story I start comes from a dialog that won't leave my mind or a very vivid scene I pictured. Building around it - how the narrative goes and comes, rises and falls - is what outlining comes to do in my case. I outline in two stages: overall skeleton (indents, phrases), then, general paragraphs describing each scene. To this, add specific dialogs and phrases that are non negotiable. If I can’t fit them in, then the scene is not working. I like highlighting bits and pieces of the prose. Phrases that will get stuck with the reader and myself.

ideas I probably won’t get around to but wouldn’t it be nice: PACIFIC RIM MIKANNIE. There, I said it. This has been running around my mind for a while but I think it's mostly for the lols and for how much of a nerd I am. I don't think I would write it but there are snippets in my head of what that might look like. There is also an ExMilitary!Annie and Cop!Mikasa Modern AU running around in my head, with them getting into a relationship with twists and turns to pertain to what they've lived, boundaries, psychological walls, PTSD... etc. For Kakegurui: BLADE RUNNER + ALTERED CARBON AU. Yes, I like SciFi. I have a heck ton of wips, some might see the light, some might not. We'll see.

callouts @ me: I don’t know what a omniscient, general narrator is. For the love of Dio I can’t wrap myself around how to narrate something without siding with a character. I’ve read examples, designed scenes... and still there is always one character I get introspective with or predominates in the scene and everything, then, sides with them. So I’m faulty of jumping from POV to POV by scenes. Or I write an entire fic based in once character’s perspective. In both instances, I always hope it’s not confusing. Long sentences without breaks or very stuffy wording is another fault of mine. Probably from the fact that I like to write from thoughts and actions in depth than leaving things to the reader’s imagination. I want readers to see what I see, to feel what I feel. I try to write from a place of empathy, channeling the character and their psyche, and the impact that creates is what I want to reflect. So overdetailing is a dear friend of mine. A very talented fellow fic writer told me that I build until people can’t escape what I wrote. I think that’s both good and bad, as I’m taking the freedom people get when picturing their own version.

best writing traits: Based on comments, narrative and characterization. Again, I try to write from a place of empathy, and I undust my psychology classes each time I’m trying to write a character. I like character studies, dissecting something until it’s raw, how can I make or break a persona that’s already been written, that already has a defined mind/soul. That’s why I love angst and currently, thriller/horror. I’m, also, obsessive with details. Everything has to be accurate and clock work. Does anyone care if the bus I’m describing actually exists? Not really, but I need to have a model in mind. Is it really necessary to open google maps and calculate how long it would take X character to walk from Tokyo’s University to a fictional apartment building? Certainly not. However I need to know in order to sell it. If it makes sense to me, then I’m comfortable enough to write it. It’s not practical, but allows to create tangible actions/places.

spicy tangential opinion: Very snob of me... but mind your text’s visual presentation. If the text is unappealing to the eye, it can be uncomfortable to read. I like fics (and books as well) that are mindful of the aesthetic in lines of words. Having adequate spacing in between paragraphs, balancing length of sentences, using defined styles for dialogs... Gives a very professional feel to it. I’m all for AUs and canon divergence, but fanfiction has a very fragile requirement that is to respect the character. Do with them whatever you like, have them tap dance or bungee jump, alter their canon-verse or send them to Hogwarts, but keep the essence. How and why is a character acting the way they do is key while writing fanfiction. I’ve read great stories that would have worked best as original fiction, because I can’t feel the characters. Again, a very snob thought.
