#meme for fic writers

1, 11, 17, and 38 for the fic writer questions!!!! 💜 - snippy-tano

EEE! Thanks for the ask @snippy-tano! link to the game here

Describe your comfort zone—a typical you-fic.

ooooh, probably something kinda funny, short and sweet. Bonus points for angst! lots of bonus points.... I try to include action but I'm not very good at writing action scene without them getting polluted with introspection 😭 and lots of dialogue. I love writing witty banter!

11. Is writing your passion or just a fun hobby?

It's both! I love telling stories, especially about people I think are cool and fun, but it's unfortunately not my day job *cries* so whenever I have the free time, you know where I'm at (google docs)

17. Do you write your story from start to finish, or do you write the scenes out of order?

Oh definitely start to finish. I use my favorite scenes as bait to keep me moving. Also I feel like writing out of order is just inviting plot holes! What if I make a slight lore change in an earlier chapter and it ends up throwing off the whole vibe of the scene I originally was excited for? Definitely easier to be consistent when I write chronologically, and I've found it doesn't steal the fun of it from me as much as it does for other people.

38. Talk about a review that made your day

GIRL there are so many. I'm a fiend for any little nugget of comment. Obviously my favorites are the big long ones full of rants and snippets from the fic itself (shoutout to @kanerallels who has turned this comment style into an art form bro your comments always have me blushing and giggling), but there are some commenters on my fics who will just consistently leave keysmashes or short little compliments, and those make my day too! There's one person on my stowaway series who always leaves a comment in portuguese and I don't speak portuguese!! but I always manage to deduce what they're saying based on the context and use of emojis. It's something I look forward to seeing whenever I update <3

thank you for the ask!! hugs and kisses

Meme for Fic Writers Ask Game

5. Share one of your strengths

I think I'm pretty good at dialogue and coming up with stuff once I have an initial premise.

6. Share one of your weaknesses

I struggle with coming up with unique initial premises. I love other people's thoughts a lot but man sometimes I feel like I'm just retreading stuff.

11. Is Writing your passion or just a fun hobby?

I love writing it is my passion but it is my hobby as well. I don't think I'd ever want to make a living off of it.

12. Is there an episode above all others that inspires you just a little bit more?

I keep saying it but like the Baltimore sequence is just........my favorite. I think about it and what it leads to ALL THE TIME.

27. How do you feel about collaborations?

OKAY I LOVE TALKING WITH PEOPLE ABOUT THEIR WORKS IT IS SO MUCH FUN FOR ME. IF PEOPLE LET ME PLAY IN THEIR SANDBOX I HAVE SO MUCH FUN. I love when people send me ideas, I might not always write 'em if they don't spark anything but like give me a general premise and I have a riot.

Your PS under the cut:

The Andrew First AU rework is kind of on pause because of the whole buying a condo thing. I'm hopeful once my mortgage is all set that I'll have time for it again. I want to flesh out the Trojan team because 100% I feel like only focusing on Jeremy and Neil was part of the weakness of it. Also figuring out a proper sequence of events while keeping the general premise.

I'll get there. I wanna write Andrew and Neil getting back to one another so bad TT_TT

the holy grail types of fanfic

[bebx]

"undoing this character's death would take away his sacrifice and character arc" girl I don't give a shit. I'm bringing him back through the power of ao3 fix-it fics and there's nothing you can do to stop me x

Had to make a meme to describe me currently

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

“why would you write fics for small, unpopular fandoms? you’re not gonna reach that many hits in fandoms not many people know about” ?? because I’m not writing fics for hits or kudos, I’m writing them for me because these characters are my blorbos and I have so many ideas, so much thoughts about them that my brain might explode if I don’t write them out.

[skyrim-forever]

you really can write whatever you want

[concentfortea]

[mythical-bookworm]

the great thing about being a fanfic writer: if there's a certain fanfic plot you can't find, you can make it yourself.

the terrible thing about being a fanfic writer: now you *have* to write that fanfic plot you can't find.

When writing fanfiction... there are two beasts that wage war within the writer. *sage nod*

My constant struggle when writing PWP

You, every night.

in this house we don’t say “that character is dead”. we say “they’re wounded but they’re alive and are on their way towards making a full recovery on archive of our own fix-it fics”

By @me-writes-prompts

Letting them sit in their seat during a train/bus transaction

Making food for each other as surprise

Picnic dates^^

"We could just stay like this, cuddling all day, if you want."

Random kisses on lips/hands/neck >\\\<

Giving them a head massage while they listen to the other one talk about their day

Late-night star gazing when they can't sleep

^^ "The stars are bright tonight, aren't they?" "Not as bright as you, love." and they pull them into a kiss because they start to laugh at the cheesiness.

Leaning their heads on each other's

"I know you're struggling right now, and it's okay, okay? We'll get through this."

"I left you a note, did you read it?" "Yeah, I left you one back to tell you I read it!" <3333

"I can't believe you remember the day we first had our kiss!" "It's an important day that needs to be remembered forever :)"

"Is it too early to say I love you? Because I do. I love you so much." "Aww, I love you too. So much."

Making the other one DIY bracelets/rings/etc with their names.

^^"This is lovely! But you spelled your name wrong, darling." "Oh...heh, guess I got carried away huh?"

Board game nights where their competitive sides come out

"I hope you know that I'll never leave your side, even though you ate half of my pancakes earlier." "Hmm, I won't either, even though you take my clothes and never return them."
