TEA, TOAST & GHOSTS ZINE IS LIVE! and here's my full piece for the @teatoastghostszine - an illustrated "Crimes & Visitors" article! with incredible graphic design and formatting by @tangentburd glad to have partaken in it with a bunch of other amazing artists and writers from l&co fandom! check out whole fanzine over HERE!! it's fully transcribed and free

[id: three digital illustrations featured in the article above:

A digital black and white drawing of young Marissa Fittes and Tom Rotwell at one of their first cases. They are in the countryside, near the crossroads. It's nighttime. Marissa is looking out before her with an oil lantern in one hand and a visible spade handle in another. Her face is washed by a harsh light. Besides her is Tom, kneeling and digging.

A young Fittes agent is climbing out of a manhole at the side of the road, his rapier lying in front of him on the ground. The pavement is covered with salt. The colours are desaturated and harsh, as if someone is taking a photo with a flash.

A simplified map of Holland Park with multiple symbols on it: a cross made of two bones, and seven pins with a wailing ghost on top of each one of them. On the right side is a legend explaining the map symbols: the crosses stand for source locations, and the pins stand for reports of Visitor sightings or psychic disturbances./end id]

Dear Yorick – Tea Toast & Ghosts Zine

[full zine] [ao3]

summary:

Don’t be fooled by those nitty bigwig agencies; there is much you don’t know about the Other Side. After garnering many a lifetime’s worth of experiences and working closely with numerous agents, I’ve become an incredible expert on all things psychical – and luckily for you clueless sods, I’ve decided to be nice and help some of you out. My close brushes with death have left me unable to write, so with the help of a scribe (who shall not be credited, because she is merely typing and could easily be replaced with a half-witted monkey), I shall bestow my valuable wisdom upon you. – Yorick A. Lias An Agony Aunt-style advice column by a rather sardonic writer under a peculiar pseudonym.

20 questions for fic writers

tagged by @beautyofsorrow, tagging @lordgrimwing @faebriel and anyone else who wants to do it!!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

publicly associated with my account, 45. in total, including a couple i orphaned before i knew you could put them on anon, 84 i believe. 85 if you count the two chapters of that leakira zine i wrote that are up there somewhere. i could be off. but i forgot how to get to where it shows me the total number and i can't be bothered lol.

2. What's your total A03 word count?

438,464 baby. maybe 500k in 2024? who knows.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

ones 90% of you have never heard of, at this point. it fluctuates depending on whatever i'm getting ideas for, but actively at the moment, the mullverse (mostly beyonders), resident evil, and lockwood & co, national treasure (might be done with that tho, i've exhausted my must-writes). i have other stuff knocking around, like life is strange, mona lisa smile, mlp, some more shazam, bendy and the ink machine, a tlou fic...but who knows.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

ugh. 1. in this fearful fallen place (i will be your home) 2. welcome home, theseus 3. sanctuary 4. i'll carry the weight of you, i swear 5. eat you alive. it says a lot that only one of those is still publicly listed on my profile. even then i'm tempted to put it on anon. they're only my top kudos'd by virtue of being from a big fandom. definitely not my best. at all. even within that fandom. free me and my stats page.

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

not all of them, but i make an effort when comments are thoughtful or especially brighten my day. it's easier now because writing for smaller very niche fandoms you don't tend to get a lot so i don't feel overwhelmed or anything, but man responding is hard sometimes. i want people to know they made me happy, though, when they do. so i try.

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

i mean there's that tododeku one where they both die brutally and were supposed to get married next week. there's also the batcat fic that i wrote solely for the purpose of killing bruce wayne (sorry). there's um. also the klance titanic (historical not titanic the movie) au i wrote ages ago. haha. yeah. anyway.

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

all of them. hfdsjkhfs no i honestly couldn't tell you. i have a mike flanagan-ass idea of a happy ending these days. maybe three's a crowd? hell if i know.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

i've had a couple instances of people harassing me over them but never like. "your fic is so bad i hate it die". so maybe?? i'm too obscure to be getting hate at this point lol. who out here is gonna read beyonders fic just to comment mean things.

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

i do not. i did try years ago. that notebook has since been put through the shredder and dumped into the recycling bin for good measure. (yes, it was that bad.)

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

technically no but i've thought about it sometimes. they've all promptly fled my head though so just trust me on this one.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

gee i hope not. there's been a lot of suspicious similarities in some old cases but like. that literally does not matter to me anymore idc. it's not straight up theft in any case so not to my knowledge ig?

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

again not to my knowledge but i do have blanket permissions for that if anyone ever wanted to. it's cool.

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

back in the 2010s my friend and i were writing a warriors fic together. she did one chapter, i did one, etc. i've had collaborative aus as well (cat's cradle and whatnot) but not a collaboratively written fic for any of them. me and tam were writing the coma au together but we're no longer in the fandom for that anymore, rest in peace coma au you were genuinely wonderful. i'm not opposed to the idea of collab fics but they always feel like a lot of work and i'm way way way too anxious to approach anyone about them.

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

ah hell. i dunno. do i have to pick one?? like right in this moment i'd say locklyle and they've been here a hot minute (like. ten years almost) but i don't really have A Favorite I'd Choose Over Anyone Else.

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

mm. penumbra anastasia au haunts me. i want it out of my wips folder. also wild geese is probably never getting finished ever. i do think i'll get split ends done eventually but that one's taking forever. as for ones not posted, well, rip the gospel tent au. i might try to convert it to a short story but lord. i don't know. and don't get me started on the final girl au or the empty grave possession au. throwing myself out a window. they'll never be done i'll never be free.

16. What are your writing strengths?

uh. i honestly don't know anymore. knowing exceedingly tedious canon details to the point where i can make all sorts of metaphors and allusions relevant to said canon? i really couldn't say. introspection i guess.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

yes. next question

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

i have an overbearing anxiety that i will fuck it up somehow since i am a monolingual american loser. if i ever did need to i would definitely see if there's any native speakers willing to help translate or whatever bc i am not relying on google translate for that.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

like liv, lord of the rings. i still have my first fanfic btw. it's written on tinkerbell notebook paper.

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

it changes. if i were to be completely objective (or as close as i can get), completely removing my emotions on fandom from the equation, prob without anesthetic. because i think i constructed it just right. being a dirty little subjective, right now i think it's three's a crowd or swallowing jupiter or the swing of things. they're all wonderfully unhinged.

Welcome, all!

I’m Meagan, aka Winged, and I’ve been kicking around the Narnia fandom since 2008! In addition to writing for random other fandoms over the years, I’ve recently fallen deep into Danny Phantom. So I figured this was a great time to make a little intro masterlist of the sort of stories you can find over on my AO3!

Narnia 🦁

I…have written so much Narnia, y’all. I won’t link absolutely everything but will highlight series and and personal favs:

In Some Darker Age: a collection of mostly unconnected dark AUs spanning the entirety of the series. Including Susan as Jadis, and witchy!Jill.

📖 however deep the magic lies: Susan becomes Jadis.

📖 by the blood of the stars: Witchy Jill is the Lady of the Green Kirtle’s apprentice.

📖 to perish in fire and water: a sort-of sequel to Witchy Jill, also featuring Susan!Jadis and the end of the world.

In a Lighter Age: parodies, crackfic, and other absurd Narnia AUs. Featuring my very favourite: BTS in Narnia.

📖 Roll for Initiative: D&D AU of the Prince Caspian movie

📖 if one could drive forever: crossover of Last Battle and that infamous Supernatural finale

📖 Beyond Typical Sightseeing: Members of BTS keep falling into Narnia

Multi-Chapter Stories:

📖 Against All the Powers Ranged: Edmund time-travels through Charn and meets Jadis’ sister again and again

📖 The Splendour of the Stars: Peridan/Edmund during the Golden Age, with bonus Aravis

One-Shots:

📖 Garbed in Feathers or Scales: Susan visits the island of the Sirens.

📖 Witching Season: Jadis seduces the last pre-Winter king of Narnia

📖 White Lilies: an asexual queen of Narnia finds her heir

📖 Tidings from Beaversdam: Caspian/Edmund post VDT ruling Narnia together

[See all Narnia fic]

Danny Phantom 👻

📖 Ghost Town: Valerie investigates Amity Park nine years after all its citizens disappeared (Invisobang 2022)

📖 Brother Mine: Jazz returns to Amity Park to reconnect with feral Danny

📖 Something in the Shadows: Jazz's college roommate learns about ghosts (companion to Brother Mine)

📖 Cool Tones: Paulina Phantom AU (Reality Trip zine)

📖 Half Rage: Danny has Lazarus Pit Madness (DC-Fusion)

📖 Something Rotten: Hamlet AU with bonus Ghost King AU (Invisobang 2023)

[See all Danny Phantom fic]

Other Fandoms 📚

12 Monkeys

📖 Strange Happenings at the Deacon Brothers Bar: post-series, Deacon meets some strange people

Among Us

📖 Oh Blue, If Only You Knew: Time Travel fic

Everything Everywhere All At Once

📖 Knife Skills: Chad and Raccacoonie origin story

Lockwood & Co

📖 Locked: Norrie experiences Ghost Lock

Artemis Fowl / Umbrella Academy

📖 Regarding the Likelihood of Dodging Certain Death: Artemis and Number Five work together to stop yet another apocalypse

[penultimatestalematewithdeath]

10 years of Lockwood & Co.!

It’s crazy how much things have changed in that time, how much I personally have changed. I grew up through the books, surviving middle and then high school one year, one book, and one haunting at a time. They inspired me to write fanfiction again - to write again in general - back in the days when I was too tired and depressed to remember writing was something I enjoyed.

Now as an adult, the show brought a whole new group of people to the series, brought me back in again after a few years away. Stroud’s universe draws in people in need of comfort and community, and brings them together into our very own little virtual Portland Row. There is so much kindness and genuine happiness in this fandom; it makes enjoying the series all that much better, even 10 years on!

Between Big Bangs and Zine applications and wonderful fanart and breathtaking fanfiction and just a blindingly brilliant sense of community and belonging, Lockwood & Co. has become something beyond special. Y’all are amazing out there. Keep making this little corner of the internet wonderful.

Happy 10 years of Lockwood & Co.! Here’s to many more to come!

20 questions for fic writers

@spyscrapper tagged me (shocking for everyone, i'm sure). thanks beloved

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

26!

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

337,006 (a chunk of which is cowritten)

3. What fandoms do you write for?

posted, i have star wars (totj, kotor, swtor, prequels, and tcw), lockwood & co., and asoiaf. i've also written hotd-era asoiaf fics, a couple of unfinished mdzs fics, and something for grimm floating around.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

The Bond Between: fic i wrote for a tcw zine, Ahsoka & Obi-Wan. 137 kudos.

(note: technically the second fic is one that got hit by the kudos bot, so i am taking it out of the ranking because i cannot trust its numbers)

How Far We've Come: Lockwood & Co., written and set right after TCS. Kipps and the crew. 62 kudos.

Wasteland: prequels/tcw/original trilogy, Obi-Wan on Tatooine having a truly questionable time. 60 kudos.

Dragon's Rise: asoiaf, post-series. Dany, Jon, Tyrion, and Arya go to Old Valyria so Dany can break the Doom and rebuild the Valyrian Freehold. i hate several things i did with characters here, truly, and i am never going to finish it; i'm keeping it up so i can see comments and kudos, because it got a lot of engagement (posted right after the show ended), but i would change so many things now. 54 kudos.

tremble for yourself, my man (you know that you have seen this all before): kotor - Cassus Fett dies on Malachor and wakes up six years in the past, with the knowledge that something is manipulating the war. he kidnaps Revan and Alek right off Dantooine at one point to help him. extremely full of torture! also the cousin of found family, sibling acquisition via kidnapping. 50 kudos.

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

i try to, but i haven't been great at it for a while. so occasionally it takes me a few months, lol

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

posted? probably my mando wars novelization. none of the really angsty stuff is finished, and i also tend to shy away from bitter endings because they make me depressed. and i do mean depressed, i have depression and i tend to get a little too into my characters' heads, which is not great when they're having bad times.

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

uh. um. the... ahsoka and obi-wan one maybe??

8. Do you get hate on fic?

the only ones that actually hurt me were on a years-old asoiaf fic. i've gotten two or three in recent years when i've been writing star wars stuff, but they're so out of pocket they're absolutely hilarious to me. i make fun of them with my friends. shoutout to the person who told me not to use bitch because it was a slur against women when the context was literally a man calling his long hair a bitch to deal with. i am NEVER getting over that, it's so funny.

9. Do you write smut?

periodically, yeah. it's fun, i just am also horribly embarrassed trying to write it lol. i have very little posted, but i've got a handful of half-finished ones in docs.

10. Do you write crossovers?

nnnnnnot really? i toss them around for some of my OCs and original works (between each other), but i don't really write them or post them. now, fusions? yeah, i write those. the hp au is the only one i've posted, and also is my favorite. read the main fic before you read the oneshot, though, because besides being utterly awful (affectionate) it also makes no sense without context. not that the series has given basically any of that context yet, but, yk. it's coming. eventually.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

not as far as i know. there's less theft in really niche communities like the stuff i tend to write.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

nope

13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

yes!! @spyscrapper (i keep typing revanchxst as your url beloved when will you change it back) is my coauthor for the hp au and for our big swtor novelization, plus a couple of totj fics.

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

frankly, a couple of my ocs who live rent-free in my head at all times, from one of my original works. 1920s monster hunters, secret government organization, repressed queer people (person. the others are not at all repressed he's just a dumbass about emotions), constant threats of violence, morally grey pov characters, murder. i am literally insane about them. also a different set of ocs from fic that developed their own original work as well: magic university, depressed gay people, Plots, the usual. i am constantly chewing on them. in fandom, knight/scourge and cassus/ultimate, probably.

15. What's a WIP you want to finish but probably won't?

most of my asoiaf stuff, tbh

16. What are your writing strengths?

prose. give me a good several paragraphs and i will give you gorgeous prose. flowing, poetic, great imagery, the works. i am not afraid to say that's what i'm good at

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

FUCKING dialogue. i hate dialogue so much. no more talking society has progressed past the need for talking. i can do a sentence or two, but full conversations? evil.

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

I'll throw in a word or two without translating, because single words are easy to remember and write a glossary for at the end of the chapter. full sentences, though? They're either in italics (if the fic is generally speaking one language and this is another), or unmarked except by dialogue tags (much rarer, generally only do it if the pov character would mostly be speaking another language and so marking it as unusual doesn't make sense. e.g., Cassus talking to other Mandalorians isn't gonna be italicized because it being in Mando'a is expected.)

19. First fandom that you wrote for?

sherlock, i think? i wrote an OC fic that has now evolved into its own original universe because i ended up hating sherlock after season 4, and also the fandom was so fucking annoying. i was writing doctor who and supernatural OC fics around the same time, but i'm pretty sure sherlock was first.

20. Favorite fic you've written?

tremble for yourself, my man (linked above) or start a war, for posted fics. for unposted stuff, a cassus wip i will eventually. eventually finish

tags: @zaolat, @hermitmoss, yeah that's all i've got lee got all the other people i know lol
