20 Questions for Fic Writers!
Thank you for the tags @suspendingtime, @colettebronte and @fayes-fics 💙 Following Faye's lead and answering while inebriated 😅 Saturday night fam...
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
24 thus far. I should toss LMBYA on there - I think it may be well received.
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
144,232
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Just Bridgerton. It's the only thing that has stirred my soul to write for since I was a teenager...
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
On AO3:
Love to Spare  135
Young at Heart 128
Touch 126
A Brother's Love 122
Willow Bark 98
Tumblr notes:
Still Going 1730
Touch (my next top 5 are the Touch series at 3777 cumulatively)
Locked Out 417
Gala 395
Young At Heart 300
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Absolutely. Every single comment gets a response because that level of engagement from readers deserves celebration and recognition. It makes my heart soar.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
LOL HAVE YOU MET ME? I have something of a reputation... But if I had to pick, I'd say Number Ten and I'll Be Seeing You rank as my top angstiest endings for A & B Bridgerton respectively.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Hmmm. Young At Heart was for sure the fluffiest thing I've ever written. But I have a soft spot for the tooth-rotting sweetness of Two Lines and A Special Day.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Fortunately no. I haven't encountered any negativity for my fics yet. The Bridgerton fan community has been lovely.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
I do, but I don't feel that it's my strong suit. It started just for Benophie but I have branched into x Reader. I don't think I'm great at it. I prefer to write whump and angst.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
No, no real crossovers. I enjoy AUs that dip into vampire/zombie/apocalypse territory though. My friend suggested I combine my fixations and have the Bridgertons discover a portal to Middle Earth in their hedgerow 😅 Let the madness begin...
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I'm aware of.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
I think so. I granted permission for a fic to be translated into French.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Not officially, but I have had such fun brainstorming and workshopping fic ideas with my mutuals. I wouldn't have written half as much as I have if it weren't for them.💙
14. What’s your all-time favourite ship?
Benophie is my OTP, obvi.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
WOOF. I have 17 WIPs. I'd say the most at risk is a concept for Anthony on each of his siblings' wedding days. I have to read all the Bridgerton novels to finish this one, and that's a tall ask.
16. What are your writing strengths?
I think I'm aight at conveying emotion. Feels are kinda my game - good and bad.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Writing TOO much about feelings 😜 I skew verbose and can get wordy as fuck because I'm trying so hard to paint a very precise picture. I always have to remind myself to reel it in so readers aren't bogged down.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
I have sprinkled some French for Benophie and Tamil for Kanthony into my stories. Just little phrases that I always research thoroughly.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
First ever? X-Men 😋 I was 12. The first film came out. I was a goner for Wolverine...
20. Favourite fic you’ve written?
Guh, they are all like children to me. But my heart is drawn to my multichapter character stories. Let Me Be Your Anchor is the first Bridgerton fic I started writing and the only one I ever intended to. It's novel length and will be my greatest accomplishment. A Brother's Love was the first fic I actually finished and has the most soul in it IMO. Then I see Willow Bark as my most clever 'fix it' story - if the show could adopt my ideas on that one I think we'd all win 😉
Everyone I know has already been tagged so - just here to share 💙

Howdy! Dropping by late for the fan fic ask game: L + P + S
Tumblr media
D my love!
OK let's see ...
L: How many times do you usually revise your fic/chapter before posting?
Tumblr media
I try to have one dedicated edit session after I've finished writing and then if after that I have nothing to change, I'll put it down for like an hour, read through and if I can read through smoothly I'll send it out.
Otherwise I end up fiddling with word choice and sentence structure (really myopic stuff) for forever.
P: Are you what George R. R. Martin would call an "architect" or a "gardener"? (How much do you plan in advance, versus letting the storu unfold as you go?)
Kinda both and neither. There's usually a single scene or exchange of dialog that inspired me, so I'll write that down first and I'll jot down bullets of where to start, motivations and a rough ending.
But in between is all feel as I go, weeding and pruning and planting and sometimes the garden path takes me somewhere else or the ending I planned isn't quite satisfying for where I ended up so I'll need to change it.
Basically, think the Muppets from Treasure Island - I've got a map, but it was drawn in crayon by a toddler and not to scale.
S: Any fandom tropes you can't resist?
I love how everyone just agrees that all the clones are some level of unhinged/agents of chaos and shenanigans and if not for the war we'd be seeing so much of that silliness. I eat that shit up in fics because it's so heartwarming and gives a glimpse into their interactions we don't get to see in canon.

TW & CW As an audience we know about Andrew's self harm and self destruction in a small degree, we know what Andrew was willing to share with Neil. But to see how he uses it as a form of self regulation and grounding, to see how Bee is able to help him and how he listens to her, and to see how he feels that it is something he needs to hide!!

Playing Swooning Over the Stans (also, have you played it? omg is so fun) made me think; what would happen if the reader is friends with Stan? Like the reader actually likes Ford but becomes really good buddies with Stan, would Ford assume something is going on with them? Would Stan act like a matchmaker? sorry for asking so many questions omg
I did play it aaaaaaaaaaages ago, when it first came out! ^^ but I didn't get very far in it I have to say, I downloaded it a couple weeks ago and only got as far as the forest with ford again. I like dating sims but idk my adhd just really plays up when I try to play this one, I guess I got disheartened because some people have said its hard to complete?
This is an interesting one! This took me a while to think about.
---
I think being buddies with Stan would be a good way to then become friends with Ford himself, in a way, he's more on the periphery, you hanging out at the mystery shack whilst ford is absorbed in his research work. You're likely to get swept into Ford's experiments/adventures. But it makes you crush on him HARD.
Stan might not pick up on it immediately, but it only takes something little for him to notice, he's got a good read on people's tells whether they're lying or nervous and you've played cards together enough times to know yours well.
Will definitely say something immediately after Ford leaves the room, like 'so you got the hots for my brother, huh? What's that nerd done to catch your attention? Haha!' and will gauge your reaction and floundering to see just how serious this crush is and make mild, humourous threats about not doing anything in the shack/in front of him/not breaking his brothers heart etc etc.
He'd definitely joke about it like 'alright, quit with the goo goo eyes at my brother' 😠 or even 'hey! what does pointdexter have that I don't 🥺 pay attention!' definitely don't get distracted when you're playing a betting game, you may be friends but he'll pocket or switch cards whilst you're paying attention to Ford/ daydreaming as punishment. Stan will definitely tease/mock you until you make some kind of move and embarrass you cause he's not the most subtle 😅
Though, he'd be jealous at first, not because he likes you that way, you're more like an annoying little sibling to him, but because he feels the insecurity that your friendship will be taken away from him, which hits harder for him when it's his brother (who has little/no idea that this is happening) due to all they're been through in the past.
Stan is deep down a very loyal person to the people he cares about the most, so it can be a little more conflicting and awkward for him than he likely shows, cause you're his best buddy and Ford's his twin brother, so if you two get together, who is he going to fight if one hurts the other? If you break up, how will that affect all of your relationships together, will he just end up losing a friend? If you get married, he can't be both your best man! He wishes there was a manual for conundrums like this. He'd joke like he isn't affected by this, but also will be quite defensive and distant with you at times as well, which might confuse you.
He'll get over it once he realises that its more mutual, if he sees his brother is taking a noted interest in you too, and/or when you spend time together his brother is significantly happier, he'll start to play wing man to both of you! Ford will get the talk of 'so you have feelings for them, sixer, admit it!' and 'why don't you just talk to them, knucklehead'. I can imagine Ford getting all stuttering and blushy.
As for Ford thinking something is going on between you...... no, I don't think he would? It would definitely depend on the circumstances, like if you're freindship enters that flirty type of joking around or he assumes a situation to be more romantic than it actually is - he might question himself into whether there's something between you, but he's likely to outrightly ask stan out of curiousity. It's only if stan puts him off of you that he'll suspect there's any deeper feelings involved, but knowing his brother, if he did truly like you romantically, he would have said specifically that you were off limits. If this happens, it will give him some time to chew on what he does feel for you, as well as wonder if you like either of them...
If you both pine (no pun intended) over each other as friends and it becomes quite obvious to everyone else but you two don't act on it, Stan would get fed up with it! It won't take him long for this to go on, especially if you're out adventuring together, for him to (unpleasantly) break the ice for you. Cue the, 'oh, spare me' type speech "just cut the tension already, and admit you wanna smooch each other!"
If that doesn't work, Mabel definitely will find out in the summer and do the work that Stan failed at, to get you two nerds to go on a date. Just don't forget to spend some time with your pal like old times. Though that's easy enough to do, since you were practically like in-laws before, the dynamic doesn't change drastically for you, there's just more grumbling and jokes about your relationship with his brother, but now you get to tease him back! Tell him you're next project is collaborating with Mabel to set him up on a date and he'll change tact quick 😅😂 So, ultimately, both twins are happy with the outcome.

HIII I LOVE YOUR WRITING AND I SAW UR REQUESTS ARE OPEN SO,,,
Can I get Ren with a super lovey dovey needy MC; like even on day one of getting yoinked by ren they’re just attached to his arm like crazy? (I hope this hasn’t already been requested I just love your writing and would die for more ren content from you)
yessss you can, your blog and your ren love is so so cute <3
1300+ words, you just know these two are gonna make each other worse. love that for them
"And you're going to be good for me...right?"
"Ah-"
You gasped as Ren stepped closer to you, your trembling fingers dropping from your new collar as your wide eyes met his.
His fox ears were flat on top of his head, and his tail only twitched with the occasional swish, to and fro, almost…like he was nervous about your reaction. He was preparing for the worst, it seemed, evident by how he clutched your collar's remote control so tightly, his claws marking the plastic, ready to shock you again if he needed to.
It was probably a surprise for him when you smiled then, albeit a little nervously (you had just been shocked for no reason), and nodded your head, demurely and submissively.
"Mmhmm...I'll be good," You said softly, your hands relaxing in your lap as the nerves in your smile settled and became more genuine. "You...don't have to worry about that. I'll be good."
Your words were enough for Ren to exhale a breath of relief, his furrowed features easing up as he seemed to relax. The grip on the collar's remote control lessened, too, though it stayed out, like it was a silent threat for you not to push him too far. 
You knew that if he sensed even a flicker of doubt from you, it would be enough to earn another shock, so...you had to be sure you were honest with him.
"Good," He said softly. "That's...really good. That’s a relief. You're already behaving..."
"Mm…" 
A (not wholly unwelcome) flush came to your cheeks as he took another step closer, his diminutive frame a little imposing while you were still sitting in the armchair. 
Although, the flush to your face was enough to earn a small, amused (and almost fond) huff from Ren, his tail twitching about, but in a different way than before. This time, the appendage shifted about in a way that, for better or for worse, was a clear sign that he was relaxing around you, and he was happy about it.
"Good girl," He breathed out with an indulgent smile, showing the sharp points of his fangs and his cannibal teeth. "You really are..a good, good girl aren’t you?."
"Huh?" You let out an unsteady breath as your eyes quickly went down coyly, your fingers curling a little tighter in your lap. "I'm...mm..."
Ren’s chest began to rise and fall with heavier breaths as he pressed even closer to you, the hand not holding the controller reaching up and giving you a slow pet, fingers curling into your hair and rubbing at your scalp.
The words he said next, when spoken, were said slowly and gently. 
"You're...already responding so well to me. It's almost like...you like this, or something. Like you want it."
"Ah..." You sighed as he climbed onto the armchair with you, perching himself in your lap (his small frame made him quite light) as his tail wagged a little more erratically and the remote control was finally tucked back into his jacket pocket. "Mm...mmhmm." You nodded shyly.
"You like it." He murmured with a big smile clear in his voice, shifting his position so that he was almost curled up on your lap, like he was the pet (and not you). He then reached up with both hands, his fingertips resting against the sides of your face, almost cradling it like he was holding something truly precious. "Look at me," He instructed, softly, but without any room for argument. 
The way his fingers traced your delicate features, the ways his eyes roamed, suggested that you would be better off doing as he said.
"Mm..."
You keened into his touch a little, not put off by the threat of claws trailing down your skin, moving in and pressing your body a little closer to his. You knew this was bad, you knew you shouldn't like this, crave it, but...
"Good girl."
When your body moved closer to his, your chest pressed to his sternum, Ren only grinned, his fingers curling down into and around your flushed cheeks, a little stronger.
“You really like it. You like me, too…right?”
His golden eyes roamed a little more, the young man seemingly intent on staring at your mouth, your body, your trembling thighs pressing together underneath him, as much as he was your eyes.
"Yes..." You mumbled softly with another demure nod. "I do, I do like you. A-And you don't have to worry about me being bad, or misbehaving...and you don't have to take my collar off, either, if you don't want to..."
Ren breathed out again, a little shakily, his fingers shifting to your hair, toying with the light strands with a gentle touch until they were a tangled mess. You had a sense that he would grow to enjoy messing you up even more later.
"I don't think I want to take the collar off at all," He muttered, a small growl in the back of his throat threatening to spill out and show off his true intentions with you. "You're just...such a good girl, you don't..."
Ren then went silent again, his gaze lowering to those lips he so eagerly wanted to touch.
"I...I don't?" You murmured, wanting him to finish.
"You don’t even want me to take off the collar..." He continued lowly, leaning in ever so slightly, his breath warm and heavy on your parted lips. "You..."
Ren's hands dropped from your hair and rested on your hips, his eyes closing for a moment to savour how close he was to you.
"You love this, don't you? You need it."
"Mmhmm," You nodded, blushing a little more at your outright honesty, and keening in and pressing your forehead to his, overlapping his hands on your hips with your own (in spite of how much they were trembling). "I love this...I could love you, too, if you want me to..."
"I want you to," He breathed out, the words spoken in a hushed murmur even though they came out so quickly, and staring at you intently, his irises blown wide with…something.
"Tell me you love me. Tell me, tell me."
"I love you," You said again, obediently, letting out a shuddering breath as the hands on your hips reached up your skirt and felt the lines of your panties. "I love you, I love you..."
"Good girl," He growled, his breathing ragged and his gaze that of a starving animal about to jump on its prey. "Very…very good...."
Ren's body shifted on top of yours as he lowered his face. 
You knew what he was trying to position himself for, and so...you had two choices.
To let him do it.
Or to stop him.
And for whatever reason, you didn't stop him as he closed the gap between you and kissed you.
Ren kissed you, his lips against yours with a firmness that suggested hunger, a desire to consume as much as he could.
His hands slipped onto the back of your neck, fingers tangled into the strands of your hair, and there he stayed, his mouth on yours, his eyes closed...kissing you as if he were trying to make up for lost time. 
You would give him any and all the time he needed, you thought, as your own hands reached up to push in his hair and your tongue trailed over his hungry mouth.
Ren let out a soft, almost helpless-sounding moan, his hips pushing against yours as the tension built in both your bodies and your hips rocked together. His hands tightened on your hair, claws digging into your scalp (it’s almost painful, but not quite), his lips pressing against yours with even more force, and for a moment, it was almost as if every other sense was drowned out by him.
There was just Ren and you. 
Nothing and no one else.
And when he broke for breath, his lips wet and panting as he breathed heavily, he only panted out; 
"I love you..."

Got an evil eye
In which there’s a small Demon!Rire Angel!Rire comparison.
❗️For commonly asked qs please see my BTD FAQ
Tumblr media
😇 The lore of Angel!Rire is essentially:
Possibly rogue angel that kills people under word of God.
Word of God being debatable because his criteria for killing people changes a lot - (eg: might kill a bad person cos they’re “bad”, similarly will kill a good person to get them to heaven faster, similarly will just “mercy” kill whoever because humans are a plague to themselves and others etc) - EITHER WAY no one seems to be stopping him.
Also debatable is whether he believes in his justifications for his actions or if he’s just doing it for fun and purposely smoke-screening that fact.
Tumblr media
I have described their main similarity before as deception since they both seem viable (as a normal human / normal angel) at first. Their main personality difference is that their modus operandi is flipped - Demon!Rire will often see how long he can con someone, but will eventually reveal his true nature and will match what he says with it. Angel!Rire is more blunt and will reveal his true nature almost immediately, but will continue saying things in complete antithesis to that reveal thus masking the reality of his intentions.
Tumblr media
I do know what OCTs are! But I probably would never join one due to lack of time. They seem to be very large commitments and i’d be better off trying to find that time to do BP :V
Tumblr media
There is no set location for BTD (considering that me, Gato and EP all come from diff countries LOL)...other than maybe “Earth” and “some city/town place that predominately speaks English”.
Tumblr media
This is, actually, one of the more popular questions I get asked over time about Rire XD; Which makes me think I need to update my FAQ to include it. Anyway in my FAQ i put it like this:
CAN RIRE FEEL LOVE? I don’t know if you could classify what he feels as “love” in the same definition we are used to…
And from other answers to similar qs:
IF he becomes fond of someone for whatever reason, he will probably become more possessive. His methodology might not change so much, but there would be more aftercare (cos if you want someone to last longer...)
I never go any more in depth when answering these kinda qs even though i’m sure people would like me to XD
Tumblr media
At first I was going to say “I don’t know Depeche Mode”, but when i looked them up on Youtube i saw “Just can’t get enough” and was like OH I KNOW THESE SONGS.
As for Rire it’s not super in line with his usual, but I don’t think he’d mind the music!
Tumblr media
He’s gotten used to moving between different climates quickly so it doesn’t really affect him as much.
Tumblr media
You would not be the first so go for it if you want lol.

purgatory was made to make you unhappy btw
The amount of hate the other teams cc’s get simply for playing the game my god
Purgatory was made for foul play. It was made for toxic relationships and constant inconveniences. They split all the love interests, best friends, siblings, and lovers apart from each other simply to get them to fight each other, for god’s sake.
They even have a fucking inconvenience wheel to challenge the players even though simply surviving is already challenging enough. Blazing sun? You better have brought an umbrella, oh and also it drains your thirst by 200% if you didn’t know. It’s just inconvenience after inconvenience and of course it’s unfair but that doesn’t matter to the fucking purgatory entity eye thing. That’s exactly what it wants. For everything to be unfair.
That’s why it added the whole cursed team rule, too. So it’s based on luck and there’s nothing they can do but deal with it, so it’s unfair. So there’s almost no perfect outcome, no matter who wins.
Eggs will be left behind, but there’s nothing they can do about it. People will grow apart, betrayal will occur, grudges will be held. But that’s just how it goes. That’s just the outcome the purgatory entity wants, and they just have to deal with it.
It’s so fucking unfair, to everybody, but in the end there is no perfect outcome for everyone, even if the cursed team wins. And everyone, the fans, the players, (who are much more attached to the eggs and the qsmp as a whole, btw) just have to deal with that.
that said, everybody please have good sportsmanship towards this event, as philza says, it is just block game. it is never that deep. please do not send hate towards others over this event, especially towards the content creators.
Also if I sound happy about this I am not I am still delusional about all the eggs coming back unharmed and everyone having a happy ending. I can dream okay
