Writing Patterns Tag Game

Thank you @late-to-the-fandom for the tag!

Rules: list the first line(s) of your last 10 fics and see if there's a pattern!

I'm going to post some lines from both my novels and my Sonic fanfics!

1. The Flames of Revolution (Days of Resistance prequel novel)

It was midnight when the man came.

2. Random OC oneshot based on Days of Resistance that I don't have a name for yet:

Kidnapping him was their first mistake.

3. Alone (but not forever) (a Sonic the Hedgehog fic)

There had to be something wrong with him.

4. Phoenix (my superhero novel)

It was most likely a trap.

5. (Unnamed Sonic oneshot WIP)

You just gotta play it cool a little longer.

6. Shattered Pasts Repaired into Refracted Futures (a Sonic Prime fanfiction)

It was a beautiful day in Green Hill and Sonic was determined to enjoy every moment of it.

7. Promise You (Won't) Leave Nine Alone (another Sonic Prime fanfic)

Nine stared out at the distant streak of light. Please make it, Sonic. Please.

8. Stealing Hearts and Stealing Kisses (a Knuxouge fanfic)

Rouge flapped her wings harder as Angel Island came into view. Almost there. She was an experienced flier, but it was a long trip up to the floating island.

9. The Sea Curse (yet another Sonic Prime fic)

The fox peered out from his hiding spot behind two crates in the ship's hold. No one had spotted him since he'd stowed on a few days ago. Thank goodness.

10. The Dragon's Jewel (one of the books in my fantasy series, The Lion Academy)

Aracus made out his twin's figure on the road ahead and breathed a sigh of relief.

I seem to have two main types of openings: out-of-context thoughts that are meant to draw you in, or some sort of action.

Gently tagging: @sparkles-rule-4eva @tildeathiwillwrite @themswritinwords @magic-is-something-we-create @luckyy19 @bumblebeescribbles @blind-the-winds if you haven't been tagged or want to play again! No pressure!

Fic tag game

I was tagged by @bwayfan25. Thank you <3

Name: useless_fangirl_does_fanart on AO3 and pianistedu01 on Wattpad

Fandoms: ER, Doctor Who and Chilling adventures of Sabrina (so far but I plan on venturing into Anne with an e as well ;))

Tropes: I don't know tbh. I don't think about tropes when I'm writing but I guess found family could be one of them... But it's not classic found family, it's more of a "people that already know each other but not that well and they grow as close as family are" trope

Fic I spent most time on: As of fanfic published already, it's probably Of magic and sonic screwdriver but I think it will soon be exceeded by the one I'm currently writing and is still in editing phase (btw I'm looking for beta readers and it's about Doctor Who if anyone's interested)

Fic I spent least time on: Well, it might be My friends have always been the best of me but I still spent a lot of time on it ;)

Longest fic: Again, Of magic and sonic screwdriver but again, it will soon be exceeded by the one I'm currently writing

Shortest fic: Again, My friends have always been the best of me

Most hits: A witch's love story but considering that it's been published the longest, the fandom is really big and there is more people on wattpad (I think), it's not really fair to compare it with the ones on AO3 or that are not in the CAOS fandom

Most kudos: So if we're speaking number only, it's A witch's love story but you can "vote" (aka leave kudos) on every chapter on Wattpad so the number are automatically bigger. Otherwise, it's Of magic and sonic screwdriver

Most comments: Of magic and sonic screwdriver (but like, half of them are me responding to people lmao)

Most bookmarks: Of magic and sonic screwdriver (again)

Favorite fic you’ve written: Right now, it's probably My friends have always been the best of me because the fandom is the best and it made sharing it so so good but also because the other I wrote are, imo, a bit rubbish and because I kinda don't love CAOS or Madam Spellman as much as I used to...

Fic you want to rewrite/expand on: Any of my CAOS' fanfics but really Of magic and sonic screwdriver because I got a lot of comments on this one wanting more explanations and also because I NEED to fix the canon so bad in so many ways and I feel this fic could be a good starting point

Share a bit of a WIP: She started to help them shape the cookie while resuming her conversation with the other adults. Ryan, not knowing what to do, sat next to Keith and started shaping a cookie himself.

“So, why did you come here and bring your cousin along?” Donna asked.

“Why, we just wanted to see you!” Martha laughed.

“No, but seriously? You know I had Lila until dinner so why?”

“We wanted to check something with Wilf actually,” Mickey said.

“Again? Are you my friends or my gramps’?” Donna joked.

“Both! And I’d say you’re more family at this point.” Martha said absent-mindedly while smiling fondly at the kids who were now in the middle of a flour battle – Ryan included.

“Aww! You’re too nice Martha. He’s in the attic I think.” Donna gestured vaguely.

I don't know that much fanfic writers so I'm just tagging @pgkwriter and @elsaistherelifeonmars

(This one's for the Bucket List Mod, but any of the other Mods can feel free to add their answers too, you're all as cool and blue as Sonic himself! :) ) Any Sonic Fanfiction recommendations? My has to be Flashbulb by Hikareh, Twisted Memories by Tylec Asroc and Rising Star by JudasFm.

I actually don’t have a Fanfiction.net or AO3 account, so I’m totally out of the loop with Sonic fanfiction most of the time! The only recs I could really give would be my friends (who all have DANG GOOD STORIES btw), but I don’t believe any of them have written much recently in the way of novel-length stories. And I could plug my own here but I’ll only do it if you really wanna see.

I can, however, tell you an old one that I immensely enjoyed reading. It was called “My Life as a Teenage Fan Character,” and it’s a concept that actually shaped a lot of my own personal writing!

To give it a logline:

Sonic, annoyed and disgruntled at the minority “Fan Characters” on Mobius, finds himself in the body of one and must find out how to return to his normal self.

Now, Sonic is REALLY OOC and kind of a jerk at the beginning of the story, and the writing has flat points. But I love it. It’s a commentary on racism, a satire of the fandom as a whole, and just a dang interesting adventure story! The fic plays with so many things, that I’m saddened but not entirely surprised the writer decided not to finish it. (It’s little wonder that when I found out the moral of Zootopia was about racism I was ITCHING to see it, and it did not disappoint.)

Still, to show you what an impact it had on me, two of my own FCs which I developed later embody the same conflict: Luna is a “proper seedrian” (essentially meaning “purebred”) while Santh, a seedrian-bird hybrid, is the object of many vicious and outright racist comments by Luna. The two are forced to work together, however, and end up becoming as close to each other as Shadow and Rouge once Luna realizes just how ignorant she was.

That got a bit off-topic, but mods and viewers! If you’ve got fics you love, go right ahead and plug ‘em!
