The sadalinar ao3 tag is so funny because it’s only 13 fics but it really shows ao3 in microcosm. You’ve got a couple of absurdly fluffy fics considering the way the characters actually interact in canon, a couple of dead dove type darkfics, a smut fic based around an incredibly specific fetish, half a dozen “2 men have D/S sex” fics, a longfic, a mediumfic with 10 chapters, and drabbles that have under 100 hits. Great work everyone

my goal this summer is to post an obey me x reader/mc (mediumfic? longfic?) american roadtrip vacation fic. because i am tired of writing angst

Ok, something that's been on my mind, and I wanted to pick your professional brain, so to speak. We're thinking about storytelling and medium. Is there a quest in Skyrim/TES that you've played and immediately thought "this would be so much better as a novelization, this medium does not fit the story at all," and if so, what quest was it and why? And if you were to novelize it, what would you do to it, specifically? The only rule is that it can't be the main quest ;)

HELLO FRIEND :D Big huge writerly hugs to you.

I love this question because my silly little mind has a thousand fragments of a hundred WIPs clattering around in there and a lot of them are derived from just such a question while playing TES in general and of course, specifically Skyrim.

We know I'm handling more or less a novelization of the main quest LOL I mean the fic is a book at this point. I do have two others that would be exceedingly fun to write a longfic for though. I don't know about taking either of these as canon as they are (due to medium limitations) but my goodness, would they be a whirlwind to rework. I'm up to the task though. I've narrowed it down to one for this answer, as the other might be more of a mediumfic, lol.

I think an idea I'd tackle is going to be focused around the Dawnguard questline, but it's not quite a direct sequel. It'll overlap a bit with the flash forward timeline in World. Even saying this might be a spoiler but it's entirely without context so I'll risk it. Anyway... I'd say it'll be a piece of a series which, while World will give more insight into, can be standalone more or less.

Why this quest and what would I change? Well. It's got the skeleton of a good vampire story but TES kind of...flails about with it. Nothing about the Tyranny of the Sun makes any damned sense ecologically speaking. (No sun means no plants which means no animals which means no people means nothing for vampires to eat either, to super simplify.) Serana has quite a lot of personality and I'd like to explore her character a bit more. I want the villain to be unhinged for reasons other than he's just unhinged for the sake of it. I want more history and higher stakes. The whole idea of the soul cairn has always creeeeeped me right the heck out and I'd love to explore that further. I think it lends itself well to novelization (or becoming a longfic in my case) because of the structure of the thing. It goes through the traditional rising action, turning point, denouement situation even if there are details absolutely lacking and characterization has fallen rather flat. Having it be a book rather than a DLC would have given these ideas more room to breathe, I think. But I get it. The DLC itself was kind of fun even if the story was a little sparse. And as I mentioned, we love Serana here. (:

How I'd handle it? Well I'm going to be giving the perspective chapters to two or three individuals. I haven't quite decided on the third one yet. It depends on a few factors. But at least two. One's an OC and the others are NPCs. Teldryn and Nyenna would only have bit parts in this narrative as most of it will be occurring maybe concurrently with the main quest a bit, so she'd be busy while these non-LDBs are off doing hero things. There will be a thread in World that leads off to this specific spinoff sequel thing too, as I tend to do to tie things together.

I still have a lot of work on World, and I thing I'm queueing Ondolemar's story up next. BUT I might be able to work on fragments for this sometimes in between. (: No guarantees of course...but it'll be a fun time regardless. So this answer was a bit rambly, but it did give me a minute to talk about another idea of mine and I am eternally grateful for the question :D

i think the reason i havent spat out a rlly lyric mediumfic for t.wst yet is bc i dont have a single favorite ship from it. like w.angxian + d.imilix both are so dear to me but like. who is my equivalent for my current hyperfixation. my fav is r.ook but i ship him with so many different guys including my oc and if i picked one to write sth really heartfelt about i feel like i'd be betraying some of the others lmaooo

F, G, V

Thank you so much for the asks, and good to see you back! (From this post.)

F. canon fics or AU?

Oh, a little bit of both, really, according to what the story calls for! ;) I am big on OCs, so I guess they add a tinge of AU to everything they’re in, in a way.

G. longfics or shortfics?

Mostly shortfics and the occasional mediumfic these days. My very first fic, which was also the first one I posted publicly, was (or is, given that it’s still unfinished) a huge, sprawling, epic-sized thing divided into multiple multichapter “books,” but I soon found it difficult to both keep up with that and take on other, smaller projects at the same time. And because I ended up really enjoying those shorter projects, it led me to the realization that I’m more a shortfic person than a longfic person. That’s not to say I wouldn’t like to finish that one long, sprawling story someday—I would—but just that I probably won’t take any more projects that size!

V. post the last sentence you wrote.

It is:

For now Shulma entered.

(An OC, incidentally.)
