20, if you're still doing writing asks?

20. Describe your perfect writing conditions.

I’ve gotten a lot more flexible with this recently. I used to only be able to write in my room with the door closed and my headphones on because I was so embarrassed. Now I can write more or less anywhere, at work, at a cafe, at home, etc. But my ideal set up for reaching a state of writing flow would be: I’m in my bedroom with the door closed or nobody else is home. My chores for the day are all done but I’m not tired yet. Ideally I didn’t have to cook at all. I’ve identified a song that fits the mood of the story perfectly and I’ve listened to it so many times that I’ve reached a state of semantic satiation and can just play it on repeat. All the cats are occupied and none of them want a cuddle (rare indeed). 

40 Questions Meme for Fic Writers

[sagemoderocklee]

blue for the 1 word?

good guess! “blue” showed up in quite a few fics! 

Aboslution

The Theater District was a meandering strip, colorful and vibrant, that ended abruptly just before the heart of the village. Its end was marked by the saturated, rich blue of the village's main chaitya, the largest and oldest building in Suna. A thrumming, rippling music always echoed from within the prayer hall, deep and beautiful and a hint mournful. The sound echoed across the western side of the village center, like ripples in a pond.

The Art of Love

On the deck, the light from the moon cast everything in a soft light, a pale green hue reflecting off the walls of the gulf, and beyond the ship the glimmering blue algae lit the shore of the beach. Lee was hit with a longing so heavy it winded him—he wished they could return to the night before, to the moment before Ruri had delivered the horrible news of the Kaze Daimyo's involvement in the hunt for Gaara.

Find Me

“Don't forget,” his instructor said, pushing blue hair out of her eyes. “If you don't have a piece, you don't have a chance.”

Honor Bound (Chapter 2; sequel to Alliance)

The day he became the leader of his village the sky was a blue so clear it was blinding. There had not been a single cloud int he sky, nor a single drop of rain.

We Need Not Be Yellow Tulipis in a Garden of Gardenia, Yet We Go the Way of the Red Camellia 

Chamomile huffs her annoyance, throwing her head back and shaking her thick mane. Her mane and tail remind Gaara of blood smeared across his hands, of old memories that he longs to forget. But her coat is as black as night, speckled with stars of pure white, and her eyes are blue jewels that bring him peace like the chamomile tea that used to sooth him whenever Shukaku was particularly difficult to control.

kakagai (obvs lolol) and 18) who finds it impossible to stay angry at the other for long?

Send me an OTP + a number and I’ll tell you...

18) who finds it impossible to stay angry at the other for long?

They both have a hard time staying mad at the other, especially post retirement. The only two arguments that they had that were drawn out were (1) whether Kakashi should stay in ANBU, (2) whether Gai should open the 8th gate. Once Kakashi is fired from ANBU and Gai lives after the 8th gate, both of those arguments can be put behind them, and even before hand, they didn’t actively argue with each other about it, and it was more out of concern than anger.

Aside from that, most of the times they’re angry at each other aren’t serious and are in good fun. Gai acts angrier than he is and Kakashi acts more annoyed than he is because they’re being silly. It’s another reason both aspects of them mellow out after retirement.

Yamato- Do you have a senpai?

Yamato: mmmmm no I don’t have one. I don’t think I have a kohai either. I’m just floating :( At least until the first semester of school where I’ll have a mentor and 23 students.

1 and 9 for WIP asks?

What made you write your WIP? fadsjfasdf well @monsternobility and i met & started talking and immediately that same night were losing our collective shit for HOURS about a role-swap au and then he was like “if you dont write this im going to kill you” and i was like “would u wanna write it with me” and so now here we are like 70k later. the braincell is bouncing back and forth between us at lightspeeds. it was also born of our general want for a role-swap au that fit our headcanons bc we disagreed with a lot of the popular ones and wanted 2 make our own.

Who is your favorite character to write? oh hard question. raphael is easier to write imo asmodeus’ voice was really hard to pin down at first but i think i’ve gotten the hang of it now. but i did love writing lucifer’s pov in the first half of chapter 2. lucifer is so fun to write honestly too bad he only gets one pov area. god is also fun whenever she’s involved. 

wip asks!

(wip in question is my role-swap good omens fic)

[naruto-fantasy-week]

thank you for your lovely tags @ mods :) and thanks for organising this! been great so far :) (ohiraishin's my sideblog lol)

Hi Ohiraishin,You’re very welcome! We can’t help but tag, everyone’s work is so great

This has been very fun for us to mod, and we’re very, very glad to hear that you’re enjoying it too!

Because this is going so well, we’re actually thinking of hosting another genre-themed event sometime later this year. But that will be a surprise ;)

Thank you for the kind words!

Regards,

~~Mods Kitty and Shadow ✨

[sarkastically]

Truer words. Every single time he starts telling us a story I wonder what side of the fence we’re going to be on.

A few of my co-workers know I write fic just not what kind. One of my former co-workers has been given the link to read my stuff, but I don’t think he has (it’s a guy I’ve known since high school and even briefly dated so it wasn’t a big deal to invite him to read my fic as he is very liberal and already knows the sort of things I write). A few close friends again have links to my fic but have not read it, which is fine with me.

[valtsv]

i honestly deserve every single unfollow i get for this

[shiparmada]

in general, you write a lot of short fics in response to asks and stuff which i think is cool and i aspire too!! but more specifically that lotr fic i will never forget OH AND that one fic where chirrut "doesn't know" baze's name i still love it

Oh man I had almost forgotten about my “doesn’t know” baze’s name fic. That one was so much fun to write. And yes, I do write a lot of short fics! I’d need like... an attention span.

9 and 17 for the fanfic asks?

9. longest wip of the year

I don’t know what this means either!! The longest thing I wrote this year was Superbloom at 10 chapters and 50k words. I published Chapter 1 on January 1st after sitting on it for literally a year and a half, and wrapped I it up in May, so it’s also unquestionably the story I spent the longest time working on this year. 

17. fics you’ll continue next year

My two current WIPs are i think we’re haunted (i can hear the echoes of the past), which I wanted to have done in time for Halloween and obviously ... didn’t; and On My Way Home, which is a fic that had been in development since 2018 with incredibly glacial progress. Those will both get done this year! Sorry, by the way, to anyone who got super invested in OMWH after chapter 1, because I just realized it’s been almost 4 months since I updated it ... >.> 

I also have a substantial handful of WIPs in my drafts, including a multichap arranged marriage fic I’m co-writing with @sagemoderocklee, a sci-fi lost planet AU that was supposed to be for @naruto-scifi-week, a handful of fics I didn’t get finished for GaaLee Fest and ... a lot of PWPs. Like an inordinate number of them. Those are all gonna get completed next year, god willing.

uhh "light" for your wips?

WIP game

Sukea leaned in, tugging Guy forward by his scarf with onehand, the fingertips of his other hand brushing along the side of Guy’s face. Sukeakept his eyes open in that moment, but Guy closed his, letting his longeyelashes flutter down as his lips brushed against Sukea’s lips,butterfly-light and only a little uncertain.

It was strangely soft. The motion of his mouth was subtle, inviting,and Sukea forgot what it was he'd been so scared of. He even forgot to worryabout the fact that his and Guy’s first (only?) kiss would be under a falsepretense. It was the farthest thing from his mind.

There was a gentleness that he doubted anyone else couldmatch. A side of him Kakashi wished he could appreciate more without makinghimself vulnerable.

He could trust Guy to watch his back on the battlefield andto humor strange requests on a whim; he could trust Guy with this, with Sukea’sinexperience and with a little piece of Sukea’s heart.

Because Kakashi had wanted this for years, and Sukea wasn’treal.
