[wannaeatramyeon]

You really said that you don't have any plans of writing any other series and then dropped this ✨masterpiece✨ (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠✧⁠*⁠。

BISHHHH! IT WAS SOOOO GOOD. I WAS SKEPTICAL AT FIRST BUT THEN AGAIN IT WAS YOU WRITING. I LOVED IT 💜💜💜

also can I be 🕊️ anon?

Hope yall don't mind me responding to these in one go. Also please note my anon tagging is terrible but I do remember all my anons! I think I'll probably do this batch format moving forward? I SUCK at conversations through the inbox but also a) don't want to be rude 😅 and b) clog up people's dash.

+ Tip - filter 'ramen asks' tags in your settings if you're just here for the fics.

Non fic-request asks answered: 7 (you might want to check if your asks are here anons!)

🕊️ anon! Thank you for reading! You are being much too kind. I really had no plans to write anything long and uh... the nthis happened. It's ALWAYS good to have a healthy dose of skepticism though haha. I. I just. Idk how I feel about my longer fics at all but I'm glad you're enjoying them!

Anon?! Ah that's so sweet to say and I'm glad my fics are accessible for you!I don't struggle so much with focusing, but there are some formats and fonts that I really find difficult to read. Give me a shout especially with regards to format/font side if things ever deviate with my writing and I'll try to correct it!

Goo brainrot anon, you know who you are with your exquisite taste 🫶

And on my other response that Goo brings out our feral sides, and imo also has the most feral simps... Would be hilarious to watch you guys in a cagematch for Goo's affection. And you KNOW he would love that. 2A style.

I'm sorry this is actually our sweet Ying's/@mymxnfgh hc which you can read here. I don't want to just steam roll ahead with her idea especially if she reads HTF! Hope you understand.

Babe, I'm completely with you. I wrote this about Eli but really to go on about WTF is happening with his character and plot. Fuck 5A man.

Answering this like... a month late but we're still waiting lol. YES THE ADIDAS SAMBAS! I saw the theory too. I'm not 100% sure if Jake fits but I will just take whatever crumbs of my No.1 green flag PTJ will give!

Anon I am so so sorry for my super late response. Have you watched the PTJ video from a while ago where he talks about Samuel's charming chest? I think you may like that.

Anon, your opinion on Vasco is perfectly valid AND CORRECT. Altho our lil cinnamonroll is at least getting a personality lately so I can't be too mad.

[graygiantess]

Thank you for In Hell Together After All, it absolutely crushed me (in a good, painful way). ❤️ It made me wonder what is your history with IWTV/The Vampire Chronicles: how did you become a fan, what caught your attention and what made you want to "stay"?

And also, you probably write a lot of your headcanons into your stories, but do you have any specific headcanons of any of the characters/relationships in the series?

Hey Nonny!

Sorry for the late reply. Covid broke my brain and I can only focus on reading/writing for very short stretches of time.

(I love getting these asks, though, so please no one feel deterred by this, lol!)

I'm so glad you enjoyed In Hell Together After All! And thank you for your ask. 😊

Putting my answer under the break again so as not to clog up people's dash with my novel-length ramblings.

Luce and TVC

I first got into TVC when I was 14, which is almost 21 years ago. My 13yo foster sister and I were completely obsessed with Buffy the Vampire Slayer. 

I was aware that there was a vampire movie with Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt and wanted to see it. I have a much older half-sister and the three of us ended up having a movie night at her house. We watched Interview With the Vampire and The Blair Witch Project.

We were all very 👁👁 throughout the entire movie. Then I bought a boxset of the first four books, foster sister and inhaled the first three books, watched the QotD movie and got very pissed off by how terrible it was. 😂

We were like, "Guess we'll always have the books 🤷‍♀️". I ordered TVA, because QotD had left me completely Armand-obsessed, and started reading Tale of the Body Thief.

I don't remember quite what it was, but Lestat says something at the start of TotBT that my 14yo self just thought was so stupidly retconny that I went, "Yeah, fuck that". I think it was something about how he only ate bad guys and that that was somehow in service of Jesus? Whatever it was, I wasn’t having it, so I put it down and never picked it back up. 😂

Then in my late teens/early twenties I followed Anne Rice on Facebook for a while, but I got kinda creeped out when she started addressing everyone with 'dearest People of the Page'. I distinctly remember thinking, "Lady, I'm here for gay vampire reasons, not to be in a cult". 😅 So I unfollowed her and spent about a decade not thinking about TVC very much at all.

AND THEN in early summer of 2022 the YouTube algorithm informed me that AMC was making an IWTV show. I reread IWTV and in October thought, "Let’s give this a go."

I had my reservations because I still remembered my teenage rage at the QotD movie, and I wasn't sure how I felt about them changing the time period and casting 'some old guy' as Daniel (sorry Eric! 🙈).

BUT THEN Jacob came on all, "Dear Mr. Molloy, did you know you can orgasm just from hearing a man's voice? Wanna finish what we started half a century ago?" and my head just about exploded!

This is the second interview?! They’re revisiting it 49 years later?! OMGGG, that's the most genius storytelling move in the history of storytelling! 😱

I watched ep2 right after and then desperately needed to yell about the show with other sickos. So I joined Twitter and started reading fic again (which I'd only really done when I was 17 and obsessed with that wizard school franchise), started writing fic, joined fic-themed group chats/Discords and made a Tumblr so I could (lovingly) yell at other fic writers.

And now I've published over 150k words in fic and there's IWTV fan art all over my house. 😂

So it was really the show that made me come back to stay. It's just thee best TV show of all time to me.

And as much as this fandom can be a shit show, it's really helped me stay sane while grappling with my long covid, which has left me very incapacitated in many other areas of my life.

Luce's headcanons

Asking me for my headcanons has the same effect as asking me for my favorite movies or songs in that it immediately makes me forget any headcanons I ever had. 😂

You're right that I write a lot of them into my fics, which are mainly me exploring my headcanons and asking myself what if...? I have a couple others, though I'm not sure these are really headcanons or more actual theories, though, so I apologize if this wasn't what you were looking for.

- I've mentioned this one before, but Louis and Lestat had a grand old time during their honeymoon phase between Louis getting turned and Louis almost eating Grace's baby. I think people tend to make too big a deal out of Louis being an unreliable narrator but it's a little too convenient how quickly he skips over those 6-7 years. I think he doesn’t like to think about how much fun he had with Lestat just having all the sex, getting super rich and eating whoever the fuck he wanted.

- Daniel isn’t going to give a single fuck about the ethics of killing people in order to survive once he finally becomes a vampire. We already know he’s selfish and a hypocrite. I can just see him fully ready to view all humans as savory inferiors once he’s no longer one of them.

- If show!Daniel ever met Marius, he would punch him in the face. 🤭

- Santiago is going to be SO jealous of Louis's relationship with Armand. I don't care if Santiago and Armand end up having zero homoerotic tension between them on screen, they're fucking to me.

- I'm also a Claudeline truther. Show!Claudia doesn’t need a parental figure the way book!Claudia does but she very much yearns for romantic love, and she did say Charlie was the last boy she'd ever love, and went after the woman when Lestat asked her if she wanted the Mr. or the Mrs. in ep7.

Kudos to anyone who made it all the way to the end of this answer! Your prize is getting to choose if I share:

A) A silly anecdote about that movie night I had with my sisters.

B) A shocking fact that might get me cancelled as an Armandaniel fic writer. 👀

(Though tbh, if you pick B, I'll probably still give you A for free.)

[hot-take-tournament]

i hope this doesn't come across as rude or mean but could you perhaps tag non poll posts with something for blacklisting? sometimes i enjoy seeing the posts but other times it clogs up my dash and I'd rather it not 😅

sure

i'll use #not a poll from now on

my airhead ass has been really bad at tagging posts, but i'll try to remember this specifically from now on - sorry about that, by the way

but i won't be doing this for updates - tagged #tournament updates - because i do need you guys to actually read those

(although, i do need to ask - when you edit a post, i'm not 100% sure but i think it reappears on people's dashboards, right? does that apply to just adding tags as well? because i've been wondering)

[moonpatroclus]

I know you're not in the secret santa, but i've determined you deserve some special love in your anons anyway so here i am, your secret un-santa. Do you have any special headcanons for elucien? are there any AUs you haven't seen for them that you would like to, if you had the chance? hugs and kisses, sus (secret un-santa)

This is honestly the sweetest most unexpected surprise ever🥺 whoever you are I hope you know that I LOVE you and am smiling so hard at reading this :’) also I’m sorry this is so long. Apparently I’m incapable of being concise😂 when it comes to elucien I guess I’ll just keep talking and talking until someone shuts me up🫣 I’m gonna put this under a cut so I don’t clog everyone’s dash 😭

Elucien my beloved ahhhhhh. I had to give it some thought, but I came to the conclusion that for all the elucien tangled/rapunzel art out there, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen an AU written for it (??) If I’m wrong I’m so sorry just point me in the direction of one and I will gobble it up. But I can’t think of one off the top of my head and I would absolutely dieeeee to see it.

I realize that is a very lengthy project, but literally even the smallest snippets of them in that universe would make me soooo🥺 like the thought of them canoeing on a lake while watching the lanterns or stars… Lucien absolutely captivated by Elain, while she can’t look away from the sky he can’t tear his eyes away from her. Or dancing in the town square festival…. Elain coming alive amidst the music and laughter and pulling a somewhat reluctant Lucien into a dance… Like I really would die… Elain braiding flowers into Lucien’s hair!!!!! okay I’m done rambling I’ll start crying. One day I can only hope to see a full tangled AU, but honestly it’s all the little individual moments and tropes within that story that have me in a chokehold and craving to see elucien in that setting 😭

On a completely different train of thought, I’m getting into a christmassy mood and want to cry at the thought of them just doing sweet coupley winter time activities together… like whether it be canon verse or a modern AU, ice skating, sledding, decorating cookies, going to get a Christmas tree, decorating their home, gift shopping for their family together, cuddling in front of a warm cozy fire… just all the sweet cozy warm winter time vibes being disgustingly cute together 🥺 my sweet loves deserve to finally share a solstice being happy and content and in love together 🥲

Wowwww I’m sorry this is so messy and long and not well thought out at all😅 I’m still in shock that you would be so sweet to think of me and send me this anon 🥺 seeing everyone participating in the gift exchange has me so excited and I wish I was a confident enough writer/content creator to be a part of it, but this message made me so happy you truly are the sweetest ever🫶🏻

[pondering-apollo]

Hello, Apollo! I hope you’re doing well!

For the author ask game (if you want): 1, 3, 12, and 74?

Have a good rest of your weekend! xx

From this ask game.

Hey Sage!

1. What got you into writing?

I've loved writing since I was like, six or seven years old? I remember watching a kid's programme where Roald Dahl was talking about how there's a story in all of us and just generally being encouraging about giving it a go. I made myself a little book out of folded card and drew pictures and wrote myself a little story about a wizard, and that was it. I'd fill notebooks and take them into school to show my teachers. The first time I ever wrote FanFiction, I was thirteen I think? I wrote a story about Team Rocket from Pokemon being involved in a heist, then changed all the names and a few details and submitted it to my English teacher for an assessment 🤣 (I don't think she had any idea; she gave me great marks). I went on to study Literature & Creative Writing at uni. I suppose I've never really stopped, ever since Roald Dahl told me I could do it if I wanted to. It's helped me through the shittiest years of my life, and I will never tire of running away to the weird little world in my head.

3. Is writing just a hobby or is it something you would like to pursue as a career?

I guess I kind of touched on this before, but I have a love-hate relationship with this question. The short answer is, yes. I would love nothing more than to write for a living. The longer answer is that a lot of what motivates me is feedback and interacting with people as I write, and writing a novel is a hard slog where you don't really get that. I've tried so many times - I have a story that I've planned out, and a couple of characters who actually I really love. But it's lonely when you're the only one who knows them and loves them - whereas I could be writing about characters who I love who lots of other people love equally, and we can scream about together, and I just ... I quickly fall back into fanfic writing every time I try. The second thing that's always present at the back of my head is the idea that as soon as you make something more than a hobby, you run the risk of taking all the enjoyment out of it. As soon as you put deadlines on it and make it the thing that pays your bills, you're writing because you have to, not because you necessarily want to. Studying literature killed my love of reading for a while. Picking up a book was a task and not a treat, and that sucked. I'd hate for writing to become that.

4. Do you have any fics planned for the future that you're excited about?

All The Queen's Men. Hands down the most excited I've been writing anything in so long. I just don't know if it will translate ... like. I've never written anything on this scale before. At least, not that I've shared like this. There's a lot of planning that's gone into it and lots of ideas and depth to backstories, and I'm scared of info dumping or not weaving the plot together well enough, of it being boring or too complicated or only making sense to me - the list goes on. But despite all that, It excites me every time I come back to it. I also have an idea for another canon based fic after I'm done with Crossing The Line - this one set before No Regrets and concerning Levi as the gang leader in the underground, and a reader/OC who is empowered and a little bad-ass and very clever and sort of an enemies to lovers type vibe.

74. Share a line, or ten, of a new or old wip

Okay this is getting long, and I've been looking for an excuse to share this half-done bit of Riptide that I don't know if I'll ever finished but brought tears to my eyes to write - so I'll post it separately and link it. 😊 HERE.

[safyresky]

Fanfic Writer Emoji Ask: ALL the answers!

Got sent this ages ago, just found it again today and ah. Decided that I'm feeling especially unhinged and I will answer all of them, whether you like it or not (and whether it is asked or not). Sticking it under a read more so that I don't clog up dashes :)

😅 What’s a story or scene you’ve created that you’re a smidge embarrassed exists?

Somewhere on one of my old harddrives. There exists a snippet of the start of a smut scene between two of my characters from my sim city I turned into a story. It is only about. 300 words. but it makes me blush very much these days

There also exists, in an old notebook, a draft of Crystal Springs in which PYROS was Jack/Jacqueline's real Dad and no, I will not elaborate

🥺 Is there a certain type of moment or common interaction between your characters that never fails to put you in your feels?

Any sibling bonding. Makes me soft.

Same with the fucking uh, GIRLFRIENDS (Dite and Jacqueline). ANY time they are romantic I die.

And I wrote those bits

I am dying mySELF! Fuck!

🤡 What’s a line, scene, or exchange you’ve written that made you laugh?

So fucking many, but my all time favourite that nobody caught is the following:

"There's another thing," Curtis said. "The clause involves a sort of de-Santafication process. As we get closer to the date, Santa becomes less Santa and more, well, himself. Before the Santa thing happened. What do we do if Santa notices and finds out about the clause?"

"We send him to Utah," Bernard said. Curtis made an odd noise.

The joke here being that for WHATEVER reason in the Santa Clause 2, the marriage is valid anywhere EXCEPT for in the state of Utah. Why? Idk. But I thought this line was so funny and nobody seems to have picked up on it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

😈 Has there been a point in a story where you did something just to be playfully mean to your readers?

any Elle mentions in Frostmas are written with the intent to cause physical damage, especially to Ana (sorry not sorry boo ;)

When Jacqueline breaks out of Pyros's control and tells Jack to kick his ass, and promptly goes into magic coma >:)

✍ Do you have a beta reader?

No, I do not. I read everything three times before I post; and then a couple days after I post to catch typos I may have skimmed over

Do I want a beta? Not particularly! I already update in long increments of time as is, could you imagine if I had to wait for fics to be beta'd as well? YIKES

🛒 What are some common things you incorporate in your fics? Themes, feels, scenes, imagery, etc.

Evil Uncles (idk why. My two uncles are not evil; one is weird in a bad way and the other is a jerk butt. But not evil.)

Families that communicate their issues; fuck miscommunication as a plotline, all my homies hate miscommunication as a plotline

Pathetic fallacy. I'm always a slut for pathetic fallacy >:)

Hurt/Comfort, Humour, healthy doses of angst

The most chaotic scenes you could ever imagine (perks to writing about magical beings!)

🎢 Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride?

FROSTMAS!

This fucking FIC I SWEAR

She has given me migranes. She is a game I play, in which I have to give the heroes a chance but also let them fail bc the real villain of Frostmas is ME

And like. We KNOW Frostmas happens for 12 years, ok, so like. BMan and Jacquie Beans cannot win! Not until Year 12 and even then, THEY DON'T DO THE WINNING

I have to stay three steps ahead of them at all times and it is EXHAUSTING, villains do NOT get paid enough/sppreciated enough, geezus

✨ Give you and your writing a compliment. Go on now. You know you deserve it. 😉

the dialogue is AMAZING

the humour fits in WELL

and man am I good at portraying siblings or WHAT

and why do tsc ocs i write fit so well into the universe, wtf is up with that

💋 First kiss fics. Love em or hate em?

They're nice :)

🎶 Do you listen to music while you write? What song have you been playing on loop lately?

I do indeed!

Panic at the Disoc was on loop for Fusion AU as a fun fact

Usually it's instrumentals tho

LATELY Weezer's been on loop, with their SZNZ collection!

Frostmas has it's own playlist, and usually it's angry loud stuff :)

🛠What tools/programs/apps do you use to write?

Word/OneNote. Nothing fancy. I have it for free from work so, y'know, it gets used :)

⛔ Do you have a fic you started, but scrapped?

SEVERAL SMILE SHOTS

They weren't so much as SCRAPPED as they were LOST TO THE VOID when my hard drive got dunked on by a stone floor in 2016

There were two I can recall off the top of my head:

1. When the Twins Met Jack: this one had a solid like. 1k to it. It was a smile shot about the day the Twins realized hey, there's this dude in old photos who looks very similar to us? Whomst tf is he? And rush to ask Jacqueline about it

2. A Trip to Gstaad: Jack takes Jacqueline to Gstaad for skiing/snowboarding. Nasty storm hits and they get stuck at the top with a handful of mortals. shenanigans ensue, mainly "do we magically poof off? stay with these guys? or magically help these guys? decisions, decisions. all of them mediocre. I think the Twins popped over at one point to help keep the humans warm. It was a wild ride

One that I completed then SCRAPPED was Jacqueline and Elle seeing Frozen. They go a lil crazy with the references, and it was funny to indulge in ages ago but when I went back and read it I was like wow! that's cringe, Dani! So it's being reworked to be less cringe. Instead of going full fandom, Elline decides to approach frozen with SCIENCE which, of course, gets everyone very interested.

It's very, CAN WE MAKE CLOTHES WITH JUST SNOW, AND NO BASE? HOW MUCH EFFORT IS A GIANT ICE PALACE? That sort of thing, lol

🙋‍♀️ Do any irl people know you write fanfic?

A handful, yes! My fiance, my best friend, my Mom, and my sister, too. I've opened up to a few other friends about writing fanfic but got poked fun at and it made me less inclined to share with IRL folks, so I don't do that as much 🙃. It took me a LOT to open up to my newer friends and they're so sweetly supportive lmao, I love it

🍦 What’s the sweetest fic you’ve created so far?

Probably the snippet where Dite Comes Out as Ace, or Diteline First Kiss, or an amalgamation of snippets from Crystal Springs's B Arc, which is Jack being home and making amends. OH there's also a Blinter fic that follows their meeting and courtship and shit. It's cute. And unfinished. And has been so for like. 5 years?

🍷 Do you drink and write?

Not frequently, no! Maybe done it once or twice.

🍆 Do you write the spicy stuffs? If so, what’s your most popular nsfw fic?

Ha, no.

🌞 Do you have a preferred time of day to write?

Yeah, during work hours. VERY inconvenient. Either then or well past midnight. Also inconvenient 🙃🙃

💖 What made you start writing?

This is a good question! I don't have an answer! I've made stories in my head as long as I can remember. My very first story was about a hippy who lost his magic button and had to find it. The hippy looked very much like Shaggy Scooby-Doo, lmao.

Once my cousin showed me ff.net, all hell broke loose. I made so many lil OCs for me to experience fun stories in various universes! I was too afraid to post and started with original content (not fantasy, think like. Debbie Macomber Cedar Valley or w/e it was called books) and that was a GOOD experience, but for WHATEVER REASON, it was the freaking Santa clause movies that really had me writing nonstop and posting. I've yet to know why, but I know that these blorbos are now mine and I love them very dearly lol

💌 How do you feel about comments and feedback?

Love love LOVE them! All comments! I love paragraph long comments talking about fave parts or waxing poetic about different little allusions or similarities or symbols and shit I sneak in >:)

I've received ConCrit before and it was okay, but a lot of their criticism was because of like. Names for characters and such and why they were similar to place names and such, and things like. Like for example, someone being like "Why is Blaise still leading Crystal Springs? He abolished the monarchy? but is still leader?" And sometimes it's like, thanks for the crit, but like. Suspend ur disbelief/google Mayor Hazel McCallion lol. If I ever receive proper ConCrit I'll see how I feel about it then! I know it's supposed to be constructive, but the only ones I have seen forget the constructive bit and are just criticisms. Wild.

❌ What’s a trope you will never write?

ANYTHING to do with miscommunication. FUCK miscommunication, all my hommies hate miscommunication 😠😠

💲 Would you ever open commissions?

Ugh, that's a toughie. On the one hand, maybe! I'm decent enough a writer for decent fics and such. but on the other hand, I feel as though writing commissions are hard and I worry too much about getting other characters in character, you know? so probably no

🧐 Do you spend much time researching for your stories?

Not really, but when I do it's always something weird like, filing systems in the 1700s or weather patterns in Australia in the 2000s. that sorta shit.

🏆 What’s your most popular fic?

So if we base it on reviews, Crystal Springs definitely. But if we base it on QUALITY of reviews and readers, it's Frostmas. Frostmas has a lot of readers who don't read CS, so it's a bit more popular! I've also done some Danny Phantom one shots and those get a good amount of notes on tumblr :)

🎃 Do you write fics for certain holidays? Which is your favorite holiday inspired fic?

The only fic I write is for holidays, baybee. And it's Frostmas I think lol.

🎯 Have any of your readers accurately guessed major plot points? Care to share which?

YES! One of them guessed like, in Year 6 that Jacqueline was gonna do the big freeze! That was excellent! Here's the moment in question:

ON THE MONEY!

🎨 How do you feel about fan art of your stories?

I've only started getting fanart this year (that is, in big quantities) and I fucking LOVE it. It's been such an ego boost and helped em make new friends and feel really loved and appreciated! 💕💕💕

📈 How many fics do you have?

like 7 or 8 published on ff.net. But one is a collection of onehsots. So like, maybe more??? Also ItS exists but isn't posted and isn't written past Chapter 1 lol, though it is planned through to chapter 7 or 8 rn I believe. So maybe 9????

🦅 Do you outline fics or fly by the seat of your pants?

Bit of both! I list scenes I wanna include, or the general idea I want to explore, and go from there! Lots of point form notes that are almost writing. For example:

I am a srs writer, i swear (she claims after reading Blaise say "wtf is up son")

👀 Tell me about an up and coming wip please!

Okay, so! We have the sequel to the Santa Dump, AND the proper sequel to the Clifton Manor incident: the highly anticipated Clifton SOCIETY Incident. you can look forward to lots of funky things, including:

Charlie/Jacqueline friendship and being badass mother fuckers!

GOD TIER Jack sass

Santa being sweet to kids

Jack and Jacqueline kicking ass and taking names

The sane Cliftons thinking Jack and Santa are married, courtesy of Jacqueline and Charlie flubbing their cover story lmao

BUT I ALSO HAVE A REWRITE OF THE CALL COMING UP! Along with the part 2 to the original. But with updated lore and ideas and some fun Mother Nature moments and BABY SEASON SISTERS? HELLO?

🤗 What advice would you give to new fanfic writers that are just getting started?

Write for yourself, first and foremost

Mary Sues are FUN. Go crazy!

Double and triple check for grammar/typos :) They sneak by sometimes, and I know it's TEDIOUS but you'll thank yourself in the long run (war flashbacks to snow BOARDER)

PARAGRAPH BREAKS ARE YOUR FRIEND! NEW PARAGRAPH EVERY TIME SOMEONE NEW SPEAKS!

Said is NOT dead. Said is invisible, that's the real secret :)

💞 Who’s your comfort character?

I don't have an answer for this one, lmao. I don't quite have comfort characters like most people seem to have them? I have comfort movies! Comfort VIBES! but no characters :) All of my babies give me comfort tbh!

🧠 Pick a character, and I’ll tell you my favorite headcanon for them.

This one's more of an ask box shenanigan so instead I'm just gonna casually put the Crystal Springs FACTS tag right here 👀👀

🤩 Who is your favorite character to write?

Blaise and the Twins! Though I am LIVING for the vibes Jack and Winter are giving in Chapter 18 >:). See:

🤲 Would you please share a snippet of a wip?

Another one? Well alright, if you insist 😏😏. Have some fucking uh,,,, Clifton Society Incident?? 😏😏

😬 Which of your fics would you be most horrified for friends, family, or coworkers to stumble upon?

Probably The Clifton Society Incident. I mean, they're straight up myth hunters. The Head Dude wants to torture Santa and Jack. That's all shades of ah, fucked up lmao. You all saw what I did to him in the Santa Dump. It only gets worse >:)

🎉 What leads you to consider a fic a success?

Long ass reviews and a feeling of happiness with my me, unrelated to the reviews! If I post it and I like it and reading it makes ME happy, then the fic is a success :)

✅ What’s something that appears in your fics over and over and over again, even if you don’t mean to?

Evil Uncles? Idk why? Communication, but I know why THAT is. Bad puns, and sass between siblings, and also, a lot of witty snapbacks. Which I can't do on the spot IRL so I guess they have to go somewhere :)

📚 Would you ever want to turn writing into a career?

ABSOLUTELY! I'd love to separate Crystal Springs from it's very itty bitty fandom ties (at this point. this world is so developed y'all I'm. WHEW) and write it. I;ve got like 6?? Crystal Springs stories/spinoffs planned??

⌛ How long does it take you to write a fic, or a chapter?

A week at my most productive, 3 months to a year at worst. A year or two for Frostmas. That thing is a monstrosity.

🤯 What’s a genre you struggle with as a writer (ex. romance, action, etc.)?

Definitely mystery and like. Drama/suspense! I don't vibe with those and they don't vibe with me.

💔 Is there a fic of yours that broke your heart?

The Smile Shot "They Said it Couldn't be Done". That fucked me UP. ANYTHING with smol Jacqueline pre-Day of Darkness gets me heartbroken, but this one ESPECIALLY hits bc it's Jack's POV and hits home how bad curses do be ):

💥 How do you feel about criticism?

Can't live with it, can't live without it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. And the gentler it is, the more it sticks! Being rude/cruel/dehumanizing in your crit makes the reciever less likely to take it and improve! If you're kind and gentle and remember the positives to mention, it'll stick more :)

🤭 Do you have a favorite tag to use when posting your works?

Dani writes! That's where ALL the writing is!

🥰 How do you feel about reader interaction? Are you open to receiving questions about your fics?

YES YES YES AND YES! PLEASE INTERACT I LOVE IT I LIVE FOR IT! IT'S FUN! :D

[addoration]

hey! what's this odyssey retelling that everyone is so heated about? no one is saying its name/the author's name in their posts or tags and i can't find it on google. thanks😅

the author's name is sarah underwood and i believe? the upcoming book's name? is "lies we sing to the sea" - it claims to be a "sapphic and feminist retelling of the odyssey."

idk how much you know but there was an interview a while back circulating (which has been since taken down so i can't link it) where she claimed that she hadn't read the whole source text (ie the odyssey) and ofc that got people upset because how can you claim to write a quality retelling if you don't even know the whole of the material? i mean, sure, you could argue that you only need to read the parts relevant to the retelling - but lets be honest: everything informs and connects to everything else. the context is important. everything is so inter-connected and holistic that i personally believe that to not read the whole source material when writing a retelling of it is foolish. i understand that the text can be daunting and a bit inaccessible, particularly if one doesn't have a background in classics or if one is using a verse/older translation. however there are multiple guides out there that help make it more easy to break into, plus audiobooks on youtube exist i believe! imo there is literally no excuse.

im pretty sure i rb'ed a post a while ago with screenshots from the interview but i can't find it on my blog now, so i don't think i tagged it :/ but if i remember correctly? she also admitted to reading and keeping up with what sells well, with the implication that she's writing in a similar style/genre simply in order to make money. n i mean - i get it! authors need to live too. but i personally found her easy admittance of this fact a bit of a suggestion that she doesn't really care about what she's writing, and simply wants to make money off it. the fact that she hasn't fully read the odyssey doesn't help her case. is she really passionate about this project? does she really care about what she's trying to say?

also as the previous post ive rb'ed states, there have been multiple stories as well as scholarship focusing on women in the odyssey and what underwood is doing is not completely original. which again - fine! very little these days is. but if youre gonna put something out into an already saturated market, shouldn't you want to put out your very best, your passion project, something that youre 100% proud and happy with? idk man but if i were her, id be nervous and feeling like i haven't done my best.

anyway, you didn't ask for commentary but you got it regardless. sorry to clog your dashes haha ive said my piece and am happy to just ignore the existence of underwood and her retelling from here on out.

[guardianofrivendell]

Can I ask her this, please?😊

What is the craziest thing Tullaina has ever done? 😅🤔

What makes Tullaina laugh the most?

What is her favorite childhood memory?

💙 - Gossip Time - It wouldn't be a real sleepover if there weren't any gossips right? Send me a blue heart and a LOTR/Hobbit character and Tullaina will tell you the latest gossip about them (if you promise not to tell anyone of course)

Boromir, please😉🥺🥺

❤️ - Match Up - Yes baby, they're back! I haven't done these in a hot while but why not open matchups again? Send me an ask with a red heart and a little something about yourself - whatever you want to share - and LOTR/Hobbit, preferably also if you want to be paired with m/f/x

I know, i spammed you a lot, so i am sorry! You don't have to do it, if you have no time! Do it only if you want to, please🤗🙂❤ thank you very much and take care!

Thank you so much for all your hearts, this is going to be a long post, so I’ll add a read more so I don’t clog people’s dash :) 

💛 - Camera Roll

Have a picture of my lunch a few days back! This is sweet scrambled eggs (made with banana and coconut milk), almonds, slices of banana and a bit of coconut shavings on top. It was very yummy!

💜 - Tullaina - OC time!

What is the craziest thing Tullaina has ever done? 😅🤔

‘Kíli would probably say ‘kissing my brother’, he’s happy for us but he doesn’t get why I want Fíli. But I would say half the pranks I pulled with these two raskals. Trust me, you don’t want to get on our bad side!’

What makes Tullaina laugh the most?

‘When one of Kíli’s pranks backfires and he gets caught! Oh! Or when Fíli tries to impersonate Thorin and try to act all regal and stuff, it’s so funny!!’

What is her favorite childhood memory?

‘Just sitting at the dinner table together, my parents and I. Chatting, telling each other about our day... I miss that. Yes Kíli, I know I have you and your family now but it’s not the same. You understand right? No, don’t start pouting now, you know I can’t resist that, it’s not fair. Fíli, help me out here please?’

💙 - Gossip Time

This one will be a little difficult love, I’m sorry. Tullaina never meets Boromir so it’s hard for her to gossip about him. If you want me to write something for anyone else, you can send in a new ask! 

❤️ - Match Up

I ship you with... Boromir!

Opposites attract and that’s definitely the case for you and Boromir! 

You were incredibly shy upon your first meeting, not wanting to meet his eyes and barely able to speak a word. Boromir didn’t understand how it was possible, but from that very first moment he immediately felt protective of you. 

Despite your shyness he was very intrigued and he wanted to get to know the real you. He started to invite you on long walks where you slowly opened up to him and told him all about your love of history and books. It didn’t take long for him to take you to the Citadel’s library - picture the scene from Beauty and the Beast - and he gave you a key to the city’s archives, for easy access to all the historical books and scrolls.  

He supports you with everything you do, and will gladly join you on your workouts. After a while he’ll suggest learning you how to fight and handle a sword. Partly to ease his mind, so he knows you can defend yourself, but also because he knows you can handle it and when you defeat him for the first time, he thought he would burst with pride! 

The celebration is closed now!

[cichocicho]

It's kinda funny whenever I open Tumblr and see a f1 post I'm like "when did I subscribe to that" and then I see your icon and it's like watching my child at the playground and I feel like a proud parent 🙃 also with football: whenever you post Manuel Neuer I have that stupid german meme in my brain "maybe it's not xyz maybe it's Manuel Neuer"

hahaha that’s so funny !! i’m sorry to clog your dash with f1 but unfortunately it will happen again 😅

whoever has created that weird advertisement with manuel neuer … what were they thinking

[starstruckkittensweets]

Hi guys ❤️ So... it’s been a while, hasn’t it? 😅

I feel like I should preface this long note by apologizing for my absence for the past few weeks (closer to months at this point). I didn’t expect to stay away from this site for so long, but with everything going on in my life right now I couldn’t really enjoy it and the awesome people here like I used to. I’ll explain more down below—I don’t want to clog up your dashes with some of Star’s silly rambling! 😅

First off, a lot has been happening to me. Personal issues, family drama, less-than-stellar job interviews, etc. A few weeks ago, I thought I would be in a much different place than I currently am. I overestimated some of my choices and now I’m getting used to a Plan B, if that makes sense. On top of that, I’m slowly adjusting to life back at home with my parents, after 4-ish years of living on my own. I don’t have free space or time like I used to have, and it’s a weird thing to get used to.

For the past few weeks, every time I try to come back to this site, I feel guilty. It’s like that little voice in my head is reminding me that I haven’t talked to my followers, I haven’t posted anything in a while, I haven’t reblogged or shared anything, etc. You stay away from Tumblr for one day, which turns into two—and before you know it, you’re gone for a whole month without even saying anything to your followers.

I feel bad not interacting with my mutuals and followers and the rest of my friends either on here or on Discord, because you guys are literally the best! I couldn’t have asked for a better bunch of friends on this strange website! Each and every one of you is incredibly important to me, and your love and support always brings me to tears. And that’s why I felt awkward coming back here, without even so much as a “I’ll be on hiatus.” I just kinda dropped you guys, and I’m really sorry for that.

The stress I’ve been dealing with also comes from putting too many projects on myself at once. I mentioned this in my AWWW note forever and a half ago, but I took on way too much over the summer, when I just started working again. I had a Kinktober lineup all ready to go, but I haven’t even touched it to this day. I have about 1-2 multi-chapter fics in the works but I haven’t shared them out yet. It feels incredibly weird because I’m working on 1,001 things, and yet I have nothing to show for it on this site. I guess I’m just a really slow writer 😅

So I’m going to try to be better. I’m going to be a little more active on this site and start posting updates and new fics. I have a couple fics written originally for Kinktober that I think will work as stand-alone fics once I tweak them a little bit, as well as a couple collab fics for the upcoming new year. I also have another part of AWWW and Peace and Quiet in the works when I’m not too busy, and right now, my main “passion project” (next to AWWW) is an AoT/SAO “crossover” with some of my AWWW characters. I’m extremely eager to start writing this one out, since it serves as a love letter to both AWWW and SAO (with a little appreciation for AoT sprinkled in)!

But again, I don’t want to put too much on myself. I still have a few Summer Romance fics to read and reblog so look forward to that! To all of my wonderful friends and followers: thank you so very much for sticking with me! I really hope I’ll be able to talk with you all soon and start posting like I used to. I love you all so much! ❤️💞❤️💞❤️
