#mumarou month

[batneko]

a little mumarou role swap AU!

[anonymousedward]

1. Number of works on ao3? 64

2. Total ao3 wordcount? 917,125

3. What fandoms do you write for? One punch man, ok ko let's be heroes, resident evil, detroit become human... i even wrote a supernatural fic!

4. Top fics by kudos?

5. Do you respond to comments? Every single one. You take time to comment, I'll take time to respond.

6. Fic with the angstiest ending? Probably The Silverleaf Horror. I don't think it's particularly angsty, but idk.

7. Fic with the happiest ending? They're all pretty happy, tbh. I think Seraphim Story stands out a bit though.

8. Do you get hate on fics? I've gotten a few nitpicky comments, but no outright hate, i don't think?

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Yes. Most of my fics have smut. Lots of male/male stuff, though I'm most "famous" (for a given value of fame) for my monsterfuckery. I'm always pleased when i get comments like "i hope this doesn't awaken anything in me" or "new kink acquired!"

10. Do you write crossovers? Nah. Not much opportunity. Most of my fics aren't particularly heavy on plot, if you know what i mean.

11. Stolen fic? No, thankfully.

12. Fic translated? People have asked to translate my fics, but never sent me any links or anything.

13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before? No. I planned to with Kakera but neither of us knew how to do it.

14. All time favorite ship? Mumarou got me into writing again, so it's got a special place in my heart.

15. A WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? A slenderman!ethan winters/heisenberg fic. I wrote it in discord over months but it's hard to find the pieces, let alone rewrite it.

16. Writing strength? I actually enjoy writing smut a lot. I've also been told I'm good at dialogue.

17. Writing weakness? Action scenes. Any sort of heavy plot. Plot is just the filler connecting smut scenes, to me. I'm trying to branch out more, at least a little.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language? As a certified weeb, I've seen fics with bits of romanized Japanese in them. Most of them were by younger writers and, well, i was a younger reader back then and that was the style. These days, it doesn't suit my style. Maybe a word or two, especially if i know a native speaker who can confirm that it makes sense - a curseword/phrase, a concept with no english equivalent, that sort of thing.

19. First fandom you wrote for? First stuff published on ao3 is One Punch Man. First ever? Yugioh. Never published anywhere, just typed up on Word, lol.

20. Favorite fic I've ever written? Hmmm... Summer Heat was my first Big Fic. That one is super special to me.

Thank you for tagging me!

Hey Mumarou Wall-E AU anon, this one’s for you 👀

[sunflower-fish]

I'm sick, so what better way to deal with the flu than to write a fic.

Thanks to @batneko for starting Mumarou month I know this probably isn't one of the themes, but here's my contribution that's most likely late (like always) and most likely not one of the themes (like always) but here.

The flu had been going around, Mumen knew about it, and despite taking the right precautions not to get it, he got it.

He still had hero work to do though, so after taking some cold medicine and chugging a cup of coffee to fight off I sleepy effects, grabbing a facial mask, and then getting dressed in his hero uniform, he went out for his daily patrol, hoping to god that no monsters would attack.

Oh god he could only hope.

He was on his way home when a monster appeared, the monster sneezing on to civilians. Mumen knew he shouldn't fight while sick, but like any good hero, he would ignore his own health to protect others.

Mumen sped over to the monster, skidding to a stop when the monster aimed a sneeze at him, the hero turning his face away.

It never came.

The hero looked up when he heard a very high pitched sneeze, seeing a familiar golden eyed, blonde man.

"You're sick!" Mumen exclaimed, quickly nabbing one of the tissues he had, handing it over to Garou, who took said tissue.

"That things been sneezing on everyone," Garou sneezed again. "It's why that fuckin flu has been going around," Mumen handed him another tissue.

"Well, hopefully it'll die out now, right?" Garou looked over at him, and oh god he was really sick, he looked like he'd been sick for a few days.

"Ugh, hopefully," Mumen hopped off his bike, Garou raising a brow at him.

"You look like you need some medicine. I've got plenty at home for us both,"

"You got sick too?" Mumen nodded. "And here I thought the association called you to deal with this guy," Mumen gave a light chuckle.

"No. I was actually on my way home. Was going to make tea and soup," Garou hummed. "C'mon. I'll make you some as well," the blonde hesitated, but followed Mumen back to his place.

Mumen hummed, a cough drop in his throat as he cooked up some home made soup, an old family recipe. Garou was best him, one of Mumen's spare blankets over his shoulders as he sipped tea.

"So how long have you been going on sick?" Mumen finally asked.

"A few hours," Garou replied.

"A few hours? Looks like you've been sick for days!"

"Well that bastard did sneeze on me a fuckton of times when we fought,"

"Really?!" Garou merely hummed as he took another sip from his cup. "What exactly happened?"

"Me and the kid were walking around. His mom was working and he wanted to see something,"

"Tareo?" Garou nodded.

"I've been staying with them for the past few months,"

"Oh?"

"Yeah, he found me after the fight with Saitama. Took me to his home, and his mom patched me up. She decided I should stay with them as long as I stopped hero hunting,"

"That was sweet of her," Garou nodded. "Where is Tareo then?"

"Sent him home," Mumen hummed, going back to the soup. "He's probably worried,"

"You can borrow my phone if you'd like," Garou waved him off.

"I've got my own," He told, digging through his pockets and bringing out a flip phone, dialing a number. "Hey....I'm fine. Just at Mumen Riders," Mumen could've sworn he heard a kids voice say 'can you get an autograph?' Garou chuckled lightly. "Maybe....I don't know.... If I'm not back in an hour, then I guess make something up. Should be leftovers in the fridge," Mumen grabbed two bowls from the clean dishes, filling one up with some soup and sliding it over to Garou, soon filling one up for himself. "Alright. Well be good. I'll see you when i get back," and with that Garou hung up and joined Mumen to the dining room table.

Garou couldn't help but look around, surprised that Mumen didn't have a big apartment like the rest of the heroes. Instead, it was cozy, a co-joined dining room and living room, a decent sized kitchen and one bedroom with a small bathroom.

"So what have you been doing lately?" Mumen asked.

"Working at a small family restaurant," Garou answered, looking over to see the smile on Mumen's face.

"That's good!"

Once they finished Garou helped clean up, Mumen nodding his thanks, Garou waving the thanks away. After that they sat drinking the rest of the tea they had. In a few hours Garou sighed.

"I should be getting back by now. Thanks for the food and drink and help," Garou folded up the blanket and handed it to Mumen, who placed it on the couch.

"Anytime!" He smiled.

Even sick the hero was jolly.

"Oh! Let me walk you home," He added, hurrying to put on his shoes and coat, also grabbing a bag and placing some boxes of cold medicine inside. "And here,"

"You...you don't have to!" Garou replied, being handed the bag.

"It's fine! Really!" Garou sighed, and accepted the bag.

"Thanks,"

"This is me," Garou told, stopping at a door. "Uh. Thanks. Again,"

"No problem!" Mumen smiled. Garou nodded, going to open the door when it swung open and an excited kid imediately hugging him.

"Oji-san you're home!" The kid greeted, Garou able to detach him. "Oh! Hello!" Mumen smiled.

"Hello, you must be Tareo?" Tareo nodded, eyes shining. "It's nice to meet you,"

"It's nice to meet you too! Can you sign my hero catalog?" Mumen nodded, watching as Tareo ran inside. He looked over at Garou who rolled his eyes with a smile. A smile that decided everything for Mumen, so the hero gave a quick peck to his cheek, imediately seeing golden eyes widen in surprise.

"Uh-"

"You should visit. When were both better," Garou merely nodded, the two looking over as Tareo's quick pat's returned, the boy holding up the newest issue for Mumen to sign, who gave his thanks and hurried back inside.

Garou hesitated for a few before returning the peck to Mumen, whispering a 'thank you' in his ear and heading inside.

When Mumen was halfway home, he realised he forgot to ask for Garou's number, but he was sure he would see him again.

Please praise me!

Happy Mumarou Month!

Unfortunately I timed a vacation really badly so I don’t have anything to post. But I’ll be reblogging (eventually)!

[nightfoliage]

2019 Ao3 Stats

I thought it would be interesting to do an ao3 stat check of my fics. So this year I posted 8 different fics (9 if you include the fic with another version). 

Here are the stats over all years:

The top one doesn’t surprise me, In My Corner is one of my popular older fics that I posted a few years back (Aug 2015) and is a multi-chapter fic. The others are a bit of a surprise though, The More Things Change is more recent fic (Dec 2017), but I suppose since it’s part of a big fandom, DC, then it makes sense. 

But what’s surprising is the fact is Heartsong, Moonlight Drive, and Say My Name are all fics I posted this year (March, Jun/Jul, and Oct respectively). And the only one I didn’t post all at once is Heartsong and I finished posting that one within one month. I guess the DCMK (and KaiShin) community is still going on strong. 

-----

Based on the hits, it seems like no surprise that the top five for kudos are the same. 

-----

So it is interesting that only 3 of the five fics mentioned above have the top comment threads. I should note that besides The More Thing Change, all of these fics are multi-chapter fics that were posted over time. (Happiness in Different Forms isn’t finished yet, either.) So definitely posting things over time gets you more comments OR posting to a popular fandom (like The More Things Change is for DC fandom). 

But again, Heartsong is surprising because I just recently posted it this year. (I have a theory though it’s because, one, it’s part one of a series, and two, it’s pre-relationship. I got some interesting comments for this fic.)

-----

Here are my stats for 2019 only:

These make sense. I wrote a lot of DCMK fics (the top four) and Double the Fun, But Trouble to Come is the first fic I posted for 2019. 

-----

The kudos makes sense, too. 

-----

The comment threads is interesting though! Especially the fact that All Those Years is the fic that has the second most comments. This fic was written for the One Punch Man fandom, Mumarou pairing. It actually has less than 10% of the hits for Heartsong and less than 30% of the hits of Double the Fun, But Trouble to Come, yet has some of the most comment threads of all my fics for this year. The fandom really does make a big impact for interaction with others. 

What should also be noted is that I posted Heartsong and Sunny Dates and Starry Heists over time, while the other three were finished in a day. 

-----

Definitely some interesting stats for this year! 

[batneko]

It's Mumarou Month! I didn't make prompts again, but feel free to send me drawing or ficlet ideas and I'll see what I can do. 💪

[mumarou]

Happy Mumarou Month 2021, everyone!

[agaroueveryday]

Day 4: Picnicking

Day 5: Bake together

Day 6: Ice-skating

(I was trying to think of which one would be more likely to be bad at it, but they both have reasons to be good at it)

Day 7: Wedding day

Chapters: 1/?

Rating: Teen And Up Audiences

Relationships: Garou/Mumen Rider | License-less Rider

Summary: When Garou joins the Hero Association, the executives decide that if the public are to accept him (and continue making donations) he needs a mentor and a positive publicity campaign.

Of all the heroes they could appoint as mentor, the choice is obvious: the people's favourite, all-round good guy Mumen Rider.

Notes: For this year’s Mumarou Month! As usual I lean more towards writing than drawing, so will be fitting as many of the prompts into the various chapters as possible, though there's a couple I've mentally earmarked for other works.

POV will change from chapter to chapter. Not sure how many chapters in total yet but currently looking at around 7-8.

First chapter prompt: A selfie together.
