THE LAST CHAPTER BABYYYYY. I'm so excited!!!

Fandom: Dragon Age

Pairing: Solas/Ellana Lavellan, background Krem/Jospehine, Varric/Cassandra, Bull/Dorian

Rating: E (for one chapter) and T for all other chapters

Tags: Solavellan, College AU, Dear Daddy Long Legs AU

Description: It sounds way too good to be true.

A fellow library patron– and total stranger – just happens to notice her pathetic attempts of self-education in between the three jobs it takes to afford rent in Orlais? And then just so happens to be both kind and disgustingly rich enough to offer to pay for her entire ride to any university she wants? And the only thing he wants in return is total anonymity and a pen-pal?It sounds like something straight out of a hidden camera show.

What kind of desperate idiot would fall for a scam like that?

Ellana. Ellana Lavellan is that desperate idiot

[short-black-diamond]

Smut requests?

Currently thinking about writnig smut pretty much idk why though, so here are some phrases you can request me writing them with.

Also, I want some of them to be fun, it could start suggestive and end in crack, so request however you guys like.

Enemies/Haters to lovers

"These shoes are adjustable?" "Yes, and I wish your dick was too." ...

"I don't like how you're looking at my dick..." "Well, I'm trying to find it." ...

"You said that dicks were dissappointing, so what is that?" "Not your dick, that much is clear!"

Top towards their sub

"Aw, look at that sweet, angel-like body of yours...mind if I break it?" "Wh-what?!" ...

"Huh, and here I thought I was the first one to enter you...look at all these dildos!" "I-I said don't look at them!!" ...

*Top works at a club for service, looks at sub seductively.* "So, doll, what will it be today? Bondage, butt plugs, roleplay?" "I-I'm a virgin...?" "OH SHIT-- I'm so sorry love, here, let's start with some kissing first, alright? I'll also get the lube!"

Switch

"So...you're a virgin?" "Yeah...?" "Me too! But I call dibs on being top." *messes it up and becomes a pathetic bottom* ...

"Heh, just so you know, I can be anything you want." *looks at their partner seductively.* "Order me some pizza." *seductive gaze falls.* ...

"Well, I don't mean to say, but I'd make a pretty good top." "Eh, I like 'em more ...submissive and breedable-" "I can be that too."

...

I had a few laughing fits when writing these, so yeah. If you have something else in mind, just request it and I'll see if I can write it or not.

Read you guys in the next post!

i actually hate you for writnig office nerd like hes always in my brain what did you PUT IN IT oh my god like hes juts rattling around in there im typing frantically trying t orxpress the chaos of OFICIENEFERDOFFINCEDEDDEROENJGNERJGNJKWDWIGIBERG because thats ehat its like up there. NO MORE this is so bad like im actually going insane i think im sleep deprived I Just remembedr taht post where u said im thr most interesting person u know....THATS RIGHT. no im genuinely i think i need to sleep and (someones lighting a fag outside my window) i hope i dream of office nerd. anyway

love u g this made me giggle. i love office nerd too that's baba <3

[sirompp]

you know what. i DO want to talk about it.

this got way fucking longer than i ever expected it to so ocverse ramblings under the cut ↓↓↓ i fully expect and accept my 0 notes on this post im doing this for me.

colourside au

(good god theres FORMATTING this got out of hand)

k first off i listened to this song a little too much when i was 13 and then colourside au happened. its based entirely off of that song. i didnt even listen to vocaloid as a kid idk how i stumbled on it.

anyway. in the colourside au. there are these things called nowhere zones. its like a black hole that appears at random and doesnt suck or move. the nowhere zones are like their own mini (and i MEAN mini) universes. time flows differently and so does gravity. yeah gravity can be described as flowing in there. the light and air is pretty messed up also. its just not a very pleasant place to be if im being honest with you.

so these nowhere zones usually pop up at random around the universe every few years, usually tiny ones just in space and shit not a very big threat. but for some reason they start popping up more frequently closer to and even ON earth.

so two of my ocs, twins, who were magical clones made by a scientist. what if they were just normal guys who arent even that close, and i made them the very thing they hate so much, scientists? yknow observing and researching the nowhere zones. cause if you go in one, you never come out, so nobody knows anything about them. at least. we think you dont come back. you kinda run out of volunteers quickly after the first few explorers you send dont come back.

now the planet is very big and a new nowhere zone is only appearing once every few months so its not like youll walk outside and half the town got blotted out by these big black spheres. like the chances of you going to the grocery store and coming back to ur fuckin house being gone are very slim. but theyre Not Zero.

and i thought. what if one of my characters. my guys. what if he got put in a nowhere zone while sleeping - and then managed to wake up and then become the first ever person to LEAVE a zone? wouldnt that be cool?

so obviously if youre a scientist observing these fucking black-hole-esque things with a fuckin event horizon and everything, nothings ever come out of one dead or alive like youve put ropes in there and they just Melt or Break when you try and pull em back and then a WHOLE ASS PERSON COMES OUT? youre gonna wanna see em! do experiments and shit! ask them about it! so they do but ruh roh raggy this guy doesnt remember shit about fuck and talks like hes hundreds of years old. which um. is how long that nowhere zone was there so that checks out actually. yeah so thats how they all meet.

and then. um. thats it thats all i got for the colourside au. thats about as far as it goes currently. there IS like 1 thing i didnt mention but its just another character who doesnt even have a role so who cares.

redswap au

dont worry this one is significantly newer and much less thought out.

important context: my ocverse has 3 main species. humans demons and angels. im cringe but i am free ok lets go

basically like not even a year ago i remembered this one time i drew my main demon oc as a human (before i had redesigned him to Not Be Bald and Wear Actual Clothes. so like. around the same time if not a bit earlier than colours au actually) and how differently i would have done it nowadays. like. i made his human design GINGER.

and i went... huh... a species swap that only vaguely resembles the real guy, not only in appearance but personality as well... You Could Make An Au Out Of This. and then i did

i shuffled all my main characters species around and changed their dynamics and personalities back to the way i had first conceived them but altered and less irritating and with actual good qualities

basically redswap au was made as like. an In Universe thing too so its story starts when the original guys burst in through Cross-Dimensional Shenanigans and everyone collides with their alternate selves whom they share barely nothing in common with on the surface and hijinks ensue while the originals try and convince the alternates to help them find their way out. that last part is oversimplified to the point of misinformation but whatever.

the conflict here is that the alternates, for one reason or another, Do Not Like The Originals. the demon-now-human guy is cynical, kind of pathetic, and scared shitless of demons mostly because of the angel-now-demon who fucking loooooves scaring the shit out of him and just generally being a massive nuisance. (this was their original dynamic way back when.) the demon-now-human alternate being terrified of demons is not a very good thing since. you know. the original is a demon. again shenannies ensue

the angel-now-demon alternate is not a big fan of the original because the original Is Like Nice Now and the alternate Is Actively Malicious. classic stuff whatever

and everyone elses redswap selves... i dont know! iii didnt get that far :) again this au is like under half a year old. oh. by the way. its called REDswap because the very specific images in my head are all red tinted with like red grass trees and sky. so. red :)

in conclusion:

aus where the characters and plot and setting and everything are so different you can hardly call it an au are very fun and you should make 5 of them by next tuesday. i love my fucking guys

normalize making early-undertale-fandom-esque AUs for your ocs that end up with more developed plots than the original

Hi i'm velvetcrimsonkisses. i think you blocked me and i really loved reading your stories. I was informed that it might be about my p-links and tags. I just decided to do some and used the tags i would use on my writings. if you'd like to talk it out im always happy to talk just dm. Ive only been writnig for less than a month on here and im still confused on tags and all. I am so sorry.

hi, no thanks, my boundaries are my boundaries. i don’t like porn links and that’s that, it’s not about the abuse of tags since i understand that beginners can’t quite understand the tag system yet. i block all porn link posters i see, because i hate to see them on my dash or in tags. i hate the trend because it’s just straight up porn brainrot.

i’m not gonna bend my rules because i’m genuinely uncomfortable with it. bye 🦦

[thebestofoneshots]

Hi I would like for you to read some of the stuff to my book to see if you think I should make more and maybe give me some advice, I feel like my writnig is not the best bc English is not my first language.

You were sitting on your sofa in your house looking at some random shit on your phone. "Hi, I'm home!” says Paul as he opens the door to your house. you stand up and walk out to him “hi” He puts his hands on your waist and pulls you in for a kiss. “hi” he smiled down at you “how was the filming?” "awful Tyrese and I couldn't make one of the scenes we kept laughing” you stood on your tip toes and kissed his cheek. “Are you ready for the Italian Grand Prix in a few days?” “mhm, Charles is coming over to get me thursday, tomorrow so I won't be home. Also, do you want to come with me?” you ask him “I would love to come but am Im allowed to be there not many people know our thing.” “you will be if you walk in with me and Frédéric knows..” “Did you tell him?” “no, he saw you called me after a race. He could see your name with a heart on my phone.” “okay.. so I'm flying with you and Charles?” “yeah he will be okay with it, he had his gf with him once” “I will go up and pack then” he smiled at you as he took his shoes off.  He then stood up “did you have a good day?” “yes but it’s much better now that you're here” He chuckles and looks down at you, he then takes you up and puts you over his shoulder ”HEY!”   

I really like it myself but dont know if it is actually good..

Hey babe! I've taken some time to answer this one because I wanted to dedicate the proper time to it. I must say, your story is pretty interesting, and you should definitely write more. In fact, even if some asshole ever told you that you shouldn't, you should continue to write if it's what you enjoy doing.

Now, where I do think I could give you some advice is regarding the formatting. This one is crucial because different languages have different formatting for writing and English has a lot of tricky ones, and it takes a lot of attention to get them right but I think I can sum them up for you.

Now the lack of spacing might be because of the limited amount of space in asks, but just in case it isn't, it's important to remember that you must switch paragraphs every time:

A different character speaks

You change a scene, time or location

You start a new topic

Another interesting one that even I didn't know until way deep into writing fanfiction is the punctuation marks after your characters speak and before you add the quotation marks. Allow me to elaborate.

This is a super detailed article about it, but basically, a dialogue should look something like this.

"If your dialogue follows a dialogue tag, you must use a coma in the end," she said.

She said, "On the other hand, if it's at the beginning, then instead of a coma you would use a dot."

"If it's obvious who the speaker is and you don't want to add a dialogue tag, then you also use a dot."

"And it's the same if you're breaking a paragraph after your dialogue."

"You are also meant to use dots if the dialogue is followed by an action and not a dialogue tag." She moved to the other side of the room to continue explaining.

"And if you have either a question mark or an exclamation one, then you continue your without capitalizing, the same as if it were a coma!" she said.

"If you are breaking paragraph after it, you don't need to add a for though!"

So with proper formatting, the little excerpt you've sent would look somewhat like this:

You were sitting on the sofa in your house looking at some random shit on your phone. "Hi, I'm home!” said Paul as he opened the door to your house. You stood up and walked up to him (tense change) “Hi.” He put his hands on your waist and pulled you in for a kiss, (tense change) “Hi,” he smiled down at you. “How was the filming?” "Awful Tyrese and I couldn't make one of the scenes, we kept laughing.” You stood on your tip toes and kissed his cheek. “Are you ready for the Italian Grand Prix in a few days?” “Mhm, Charles is coming over to get me Thursday, so I won't be home. Want to come with me?” you asked him. “I would love to come but... Am I allowed to be there? Not many people know our thing.” “You will be if you walk in with me and... Frédéric knows–” "You told him?” (sounds a bit more natural) “No, he saw you called me after a race. He saw your name with a heart on my phone.” “Okay.. so I'm flying with you and Charles?” “Yeah he will be okay with it, he had his girlfriend with him once.” “I'll go up and pack then,” (also the contraction makes it a bit more natural) he smiled at you as he took his shoes off,  he then stood up. “Did you have a good day?” “Yes but it’s much better now that you're here.” He chuckled (tense change) and looked down at you, he then grabbed onto your waist and put you over his shoulder. ”HEY!”  you complained. 

Also, I'd also add that you must be careful with your tenses, you start in past and then you switch to present, while this can happen in English when you are in conversation, it's not very common when you're telling a story. If you'll be talking in present, stick to the present (It's not vert common on formal books but I've seen it often in fanfiction), if you'll be talking in past, stick to the past.

I hope you find this useful darling, I tried to be as concise as possible while explaining all these little grammar rules, and I hope I didn't come as harsh. Took me long to figure them out and I suppose someone detailing them to me would have been pretty useful. I think your writing is great and I reiterate the fact that you should definitely continue. Sending all the love in the world!

[roscvcins]

also i just want y'all to know if ever my writnig looks absolutely batshit it's prolly cause i wrote it at 3 am barely awake

[hirokiyuu]

2, 5, 8?

2. Anything that you'd like to write but feel like you're unable to?

i feel like this is kinda my standard theres a lot of good fic ideas w/nsfw in them but i get too shy abt it. honestly tho i feel like i have the potential to write some really good nsfw bc everyone says theyre just like fight scenes and i write good fight scenes so i gotta just get over it

oh i do have some good fic ideas for fandoms im not really in but unfortunately the way my fic writnig works requires me to be at least a little bit Insane over things so idk if ill ever be able to go back and do them.............. aksh asoue au u will always live in my heart

5. What's a tag you never want to use for your works even when it applies?

honestly i tag really conservatively already WWWWWW i definitely undertag in general bc its hard for me bc im always like "ok but does htis COUNT as xyz........." lol

oh but i hate the "out of character" tag. if it's out of character why are you writnig fanfiction. cmon. at least Try to make it ic or argue that its in character for how things would be in an au. come On.

8. How slow is a slow burn?

(guy who is 70k+ into a ship fic and htey literally havent even done anything more romantic than stand next to each other) oh,, u kno,

realtalk im like........ not Crazy picky over this bc i do think its possible to depict a long time of yearning in just a few words (thinking abt how one of my fave slowburns is not even 10k and i do really consider it that) but i do htink its harder to show that in few words. really depends on the authors skills. extremely hard for me to imagine it being less than 5k frankly if you want something thats a Slow burn slow burn u kno. if you have something thats a snapshot from the middle of a slow burn thats just piningfic. which is fine i love pining but like .cmon

[hermesparis]

what if. instead of writnig my assignment. i got suuuuuch a restless night of sleep

[witchcraftandburialdirt]

Ahem. your strength as a roleplayer!!! the way you structure your sentences has me (the reader) hanging off of every word. The way you describe the way a character feels always makes me feel insane (positive) and in general just. the way you pull entire threads together so eloquently always floors me!!!!!! SHAKES YOU AROUND AFFECTIONATELY

Strengths as a Roleplayer

Alfio I honeslty have no words to express how brightly this made me smile. I always am questioning my prose, unsure if its too much or too little - but knowing you think my writnig is eloquent is enough to make me smile stupid. Especially coming from you who's writing I absolutely LOVE.

[foxymoxynoona]

hi foxy - Lone Blue Egg is so funny! I think it’s maybe the most comedic of all your works. The side characters are so quirky and funny too. And I like that’s it’s not quite a hybrid story, but the universe still has these, I don’t know, “dormant hybrid” personalities floating around. Very clever. Loved it.

Oh I definitely leaned into my comedy writing for that story. It was a really fun experience to try to write a funny story in which the characters themselves are not aware they are in a comedy (well, Rana is semi-aware). I really enjoy this style of writnig and hope to keep practicing with it more in this Birdtan Universe so I can keep getting better!

Thank you for reading and I'm glad you enjoyed it! I was genuinely not sure how it would go over --too hybrid for mainstream, not hybrid enough for hybrid-readers.
