Fic Writer Questions

I was tagged by @allwaswell16!

1) How many works do you have on AO3? Approx. 57

2) What’s your total AO3 word count? 896,137

3) How many fandoms have you written for and what are they? 1

4) What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Small Doses (Loving You It's Explosive)

Tell Me This is Paradise

Buried Like Treasure

I've Always Like the Fireworks (Um... who knew this had this many kudos?)

Far Afield

5) What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Personally, I think it's But Now Together, We're Alone because it's mostly unresolved by design. SPOILER The prompt was based on the song Stockholm Syndrome and Harry goes back even though nothing has changed and the court is still super toxic because Louis is the sun king and Harry is what he wants so that's what he gets.

6) What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

Literally all of them? But, I tend to fade out pretty early into them getting together in any fic on the assumption that yes, from here on out they're together, the end. I could go with my most cathartic endings which are probably my longer fics because they have more build up. Here are the ones I think are most cathartic:

After Dark, After Light

Lend Me Your Hand

The Earl and His Duke

Buried Like Treasure

One Minute to Midnight

7) Do you write crossovers? If so what is the craziest one you’ve written?

I've written two Harry Potter-verse fics:

Sun-Dappled

Drop to Hold You

and my Bon Appétit-verse...

Felt Nothing Like Home

I just realized that those are both problematic now, haha. Cool.

Ooh! Also a pseudo Agent Carter-verse.

In a Little Bit of Trouble

An argument can be made for a Pirates of the Caribbean-verse.

She's Never Been One to Stay At Home

8) Do you write smut? If so what kind?

Yes, definitely. Also "what kind" is an interesting question. You want some wlw? A little BDSM? Blow jobs? I got something for everyone.

9) Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

Haaaaaaa. This came up the other day. I do respond to comments... about twice a year. I'm terrible at taking/responding to a compliment and have terrible executive dysfunction which is a perfect storm for me. BUT I will say, I read and appreciate absolutely each and every single one.

10) Have you ever received hate on a fic?

I have, and I pretty much knew it was inevitable? At the very least I'm glad it was a substantive argument and not just like... blind hate.

11) Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Yeah every once in a while my longer or more popular fics pop up on Wattpad. Somehow never the wildly popular wlw one, though. Funny how that works.

12) Have you ever had a fic translated?

No, I don't tend to allow translations. Mostly because I don't like that I can't guarantee they're not changing or twisting my words, which is absolutely NOTHING against the people who actually spend their time doing this. Just a control thing!

13) Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yeah! With twenty of my closest friends for @louandhazaf!

Wine Not?

14) What’s your all time favorite ship?

Louis/Harry! Pretty much why I'm here. But I read Sterek every once in awhile because this fandom has a surprising lack of werewolf fics.

15) What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

Oh, man. I'm going to change this a little: I have two WIPs that I'm definitely GOING to finish: Buried Like Treasure 2 and my Pirate AU that was supposed to be for the Omega Harry fic fest.

16) What are your writing strengths?

I've gotten a lot of compliments on my pacing in longer fics and I think my dialogue. Also, the statistics have made it clear I'm pretty good at wlw smut, ha.

17) What are your writing weaknesses?

I'm not very visual -- we had a whole long (super interesting!) conversation about mental visualization in one of my group chats and it turns out... I don't have that gene, haha. I think it comes across in my writing too. You might not know what they're wearing at every single moment or what the room looks like, but you'll always know how they feel!

18) What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

I'll drop a word or a line but I will NEVER leave you as the reader without context clues as to what it means. You should never not know! This is a big pet peeve of mine.

19) What was the first fandom you wrote for?

One Direction

20) What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

This is a really tough question... I think overall my absolute favorite is my newest long fic The Earl and His Duke because I came up in the world reading romance novels and it's the closest to a traditional one that I have. BUT that's my latest fic so is that why? I'm not really sure.

I think also Buried Like Treasure is high up there, and the most underrated of all of mine that's also very high up on the list of my favorites is One Minute to Midnight. I think people might get put off by the age gap in that one, but if they were to actually read it they might see that 1) there's no mental age gap because Louis is cursed into an older body but his mind is the same age 2) everything is strictly professional while there is an age gap and both parties are respectful of that 3) Both parties are hella confused by this weird pull towards each other and ponder the ethical quandary of it all

The One with the Pirates of the Caribbean AU - Chapter 1 - Fanficscorpio - Teen Wolf (TV) [Archive of Our Own]

Hey guys, I wrote my first chapter of fan fiction yai! And it's Sterek. Yes I am very nervous.

[zannithinks]

𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒔 𝒊 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒘𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒆 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒏'𝒕 𝒚𝒆𝒕

(And probably wont ever get to) 

One Direction

❅ In Five Years Time - The five years of active One Direction, from inception to their hiatus, with a different boy’s POV per year. Loosely based on Canon with mentions of several different pairings taking the spotlight throughout the years. (Possibly backed up by a companion piece of the five years on hiatus) This would allow me to get intimate with each boy and dabble with unreliable narrator. Lives in the back of my head... like way back. 

❅ Seven Year Slump (OR How to Fall in Love With Your Husband... Again) - On the brink of divorce due to apathy a husband decides to reignite the flame of his marriage by letting go of their past selves and getting to know who the man he fell in love with all those years ago has become. This idea came to me because I got a little weary of the characters being 20 somethings and I felt like it would be refreshing to see life doesn’t stop once you hit 30. Not super exciting, more slice of life, so I’m unsure of how much enthusiasm it would drum up and if it would be worth writing. 

❅ Diesel Dreams (Drive AU) - I have an illegal street racer AU on the horizon already, although it is very different than this it still has too many similarities for me to be overly eager to work on this any time soon. Still, the prospect of writing all the tension in that final elevator scene? Definitely a wet dream of mine. 

❅ Safe in Your Memory (The Illusionist AU) - One of my favourite movies, yet the world building necessary for a period piece has me like... no ♡ But there is a dusty plot outline for this in my docs so perhaps if I am bored one rainy day. 

❅ Ludovic (Anastasia AU) - Okay this one I really do want to write one day I just have a lot on my plate already so it’s more of a dream than a goal. 

❅ Wish Upon A Star (Stardust AU) - Just some fun, y’know? Probably never gonna happen, but it would be fun. 

Not One Direction: 

❅ Pirates of the Caribbean (Sterek) - Plot outlines for the first three films in Sterek have been on my phone for two years now... and possibly will remain that way for another two. Fun pirate stories are not appreciated enough and this could be a lot of fun, but the necessary world building and period setting has me unenthusiastic about actually sitting down to write it. 

❅ City of Rats / Descendants AU (Stucky OR Sterek) - Like the above, this outline has been sitting in my docs for an age (in both sterek and stucky forms). Maybe one day. Maybe not. 

Thank you @falsegoodnight ♡ for the tag! I literally don’t know anyone who hasn’t done this yet, so if you see this please do it and say I tagged you ;) 

[wheredidhiseyebrowsgo]

I have a sudden urge to read about Derek with long hair, can y'all help me?

Derek would probably look stupid hot with a man bun, UGH.  -Emmy

Vegetarian Werewolf Derek Hale by Strictly_Platonic

(1,729 / Mature / Complete)  *sterek, drug use, stoner!derek

Five times Stiles is surprised that Derek is a hippie and one time his assumptions about Derek’s hippie nature are proven wrong.

Always Follow a Hippie to a Second Location by alisvolatpropiis

(3,956 / Mature / Complete)  *sterek, human!derek, artist!derek

It’s hard to tell just how long his hair is but it’s night-black and shiny and soft-looking, little strands falling loose from the messy knot high on his head that Stiles feels strangely compelled to put his hands on, to grip tight, which is ridiculous. He’s never been into hippie guys or guys with long hair, but he’s thinking now he might need to reassess that life choice because damn, how much fun would it be to fuck that ass while tangling his hands in that hair like reins, pulling his head back and leaning forward to get closer to his moans….

Can’t Let Go by FiccinDylan

(5,581 / Teen / Complete)  *sterek

“Anyhow, so you’re paralyzed, so you can’t just go gallivanting off to Seattle, but you’re in love and she’s in love but she’s also in love with the music! So she has to choose, you see?”

Derek nods thoughtfully, “So who does she choose?”

“Well she chooses you of course, I mean, who wouldn’t?” Stiles says, the last part trailing out softly.

‘You wouldn’t.’ Derek thinks as he looks up and sees that Stiles has looked away

aka Derek loves Stiles, but Stiles could never love him so Derek gives him a jacket.

Cutback by WonderWolf

(19,323 / Teen / Complete)  *sterek, human au, breaking up and making up

“You’re the only person that can help us and we need a place to crash. Can we stay at yours? Just for the week? I promise we’ll be quiet and—”

The feeling of dread quickly turns to panic and Derek forces out through a tense jaw, “Who’s ‘we’, Scott?”

Scott’s face morphs into a look of sadness and pity before he responds with a defeated, “Me and Stiles.” He tenses, as if to brace for the rejection Derek is sure to give him, because there’s no way that Derek would agree to house his ex-boyfriend for a week, even as a favor to his brother. Not after everything that happened, after the devastating heartbreak he still hasn’t fully recovered from.

He takes a deep breath and sighs, “Okay,” despite every intelligent part of his brain yelling at him that it isn’t a good idea.- - - - - -Scott and Stiles are pro surfers in need of a place to stay for their upcoming competition. Out of all the things Derek expected this summer, being asked to house his brother and ex-boyfriend for one week wasn’t on the list.

Not All Treasure is Silver and Gold by CelestialVoid

(41,610 / Teen / Complete)  *sterek, human au, pirates au, arranged marriage, Pirates of the Caribbean 

When the son of Beacon Hills’ Governor, Stiles, is kidnapped by cursed, treasure-hunting pirates under the darkness of night, chaos falls over the port of Beacon Hills.Enraged by the fact that the royal navy and the military forces are not doing anything to save Stiles, the local blacksmith, Derek, is forced to ally himself with the infamous pirate, Peter Hale, and sail across the seas to save the Governor’s son.

НОВОГОДНИЙ КАЛЕНДАРЬ ОТ SSM

"ПОЛУНОЧНЫЕ ЧУДЕСА" 4/18

AU: Пираты Карибского Моря. 

🎧 Pirates Of The Caribbean  -  Theme [Dubstep Remix]

ㅤСтайлза уже ничего не может удивить. Серьезно. Корабль, севший на мель у Бикон Хиллз — почему бы и нет. Тянущий его за канат в сторону суши пьяный пират — всякое в жизни может случиться. Крики о том, что у него забрали последнюю бочку рома — настоящая трагедия, Стилински понимает его как никто другой.

ㅤㅤЛидия смотрит на разворачивающуюся перед ней картину достаточно равнодушно — не цепляется в руку Стайлза, не причитает, даже не ищет судорожно в телефонной книге номер Дитона. Только предлагает подойти поближе и помочь бедолаге.

ㅤㅤИз леса тенью молчаливой возникает Дерек — на всех приезжих с подозрительными запахами его волчья сигнализация срабатывала безотказно. Хотя что может быть подозрительного в огромном корабле, будто сошедшем со страниц учебников по истории, параграф о пиратах королевы Англии.

ㅤㅤ— Ром есть? — интересуется у них "пират", отпуская канат, когда все трое подходят к нему немного ближе.

ㅤㅤ— Не-а, — мотает головой Стилински.

ㅤㅤ— А если найду? — настаивает пират, подозрительно оглядывая Дерека, который, в свою очередь, подозрительно оглядывал его.

ㅤㅤ— Мы подростки, откуда у нас может взяться ром, мужчина, — Лидия совершенно автоматически кокетливо улыбается и перекидывает рыжие волосы с одного плеча на другое. Мужчина реагирует мгновенно, оказываясь рядом с ней и размахивая в воздухе унизанными перстнями руками

ㅤㅤ— Леди, уверяю вас, вы достаточно взрослая для всех тех вещей, которые я хочу вам показать, — глаза "пирата" насмешливо сверкнули из-под надвинутой на лоб треуголки, когда Лидия неожи��анно залилась румянцем.

ㅤㅤ— Эй, ты, я не понял, ты что тут творишь! — Стайлз, конечно, Дерека любит, но отдавать Лидию первому встречному не собирается. Хейл же неожиданно давится воздухом и бросает укоризненный взгляд на своего парня. Не то чтобы оборотень ревновал, но он ревновал.

ㅤㅤ— Дарю леди тепло, любовь и ласку, предлагаю отправиться со мной в путешествие на Карибы. Таверны Тортуги, причалы Санта-Валенсии.

ㅤㅤ— Такого порта не было на карте Карибских островов в семнадцатом веке, — автоматически исправляет его Лидия, впрочем, придвигаясь к их новому знакомому немного ближе.

ㅤㅤ— Я тебя не отпускаю! — кричит Стайлз.

ㅤㅤ— Я с радостью ��омогу перенести твои вещи, — одновременно со Стилински произносит Дерек. Он, мужчина молодой, дальновидный, сразу смекнул, в какую сторону дует ветер — если Лидия отправиться в путешествие с пиратом, то Стайлз останется в полном и безраздельном пользовании Дерека.

ㅤㅤ— Что? — Стилински почти задыхается от возмущения, пока "пират", переводя взгляд с одного на другого, строил у себя в уме какие-то сложные планы, судя по тому, как нетерпеливо барабанили его пальцы по подзорной трубе, притороченной к ремню.

ㅤㅤ— Леди, ваше решение? — Лидия неожиданно краснеет еще сильнее, Стайлз тоже, но по другой причине, Дерек же силится сдержать торжественную улыбку.

ㅤㅤ— Ну... если вам удастся этот корабль сдвинуть с места, то... — Дерек мысленно танцует победный танец и предвкушает ночь в компании Стайлза и только Стайлза.

ㅤㅤ— Ты даже имени его не знаешь! — бедный Стилински собирается схватить сердечный припадок.

ㅤㅤ— Капитан Джек Воробей! — бодро рапортует мужчина.

ㅤㅤ— Слушай, ты, Воробей общипанный, — Стайлз щурит глаза и пытается двинуться в сторону пирата, но Дерек оперативно перехватывает его поперек туловища.

ㅤㅤ— Капитан Воробей общипанный!

ㅤㅤ— Я тебе...

ㅤㅤ— Стайлз, это решение Лидии...

ㅤㅤ— Да я ему...

ㅤㅤ— Руки прочь от треуголки

ㅤㅤ— Хватит! —грозный окрик Мартин мигом пресек все перепалки. Все четверо замерли в тишине. — Ты, Воробей, двигаешь свою посудину. Если поплывет, я отправлюсь с тобой. Если нет — подскажу неплохой бар с ромом.

ㅤㅤ— Но... но... капитан...

ㅤㅤ— Цыц. Ты, Стилински, засунь свою ревность и разуй глаза — Хейл скоро меня сам пришьет по-тихому, так я в любом случае не проведу с тобой Рождество.

ㅤㅤ— Я совсем не...

ㅤㅤ— А ты, — Лидия даже не стала обращать внимание на Стайлза и обратилась к Дереку, — поедешь сейчас со мной и поможешь погрузить чемоданы. Все меня поняли?

ㅤㅤ— Так точно, капитан! — Хейл широко улыбается, сверкнув волчьими клыками и, подхватив Стилински, направляется в сторону Камаро.

ㅤㅤ— Но я капитан! — возмущается "пират", на что Лидия отвечает ему то ли сочувствующей, то ли ехидной улыбкой.

ㅤㅤ— Дорогой, это мы еще посмотрим.

Teen wolf Pirate Au

Fem Stiles. So much Sterek. Some very Pirates of the Caribbean undertones.

Stiles the only daughter of Consible Stilinski. Way too smart for her own good. Likes to sneak off dressed as a boy with her best friend Scott, son of the local midwife.

This causes quite a bit of trouble when pirates invade and shanghi Scott. Stiles refuses to leave her best friend behind and rashly frees the only pirate that the infantry managed to capture, Derek Hale.

Together they commandeer a ship and head out in search of the ship that took Scott , which just so happens to be commanded by Derek's uncle Peter Hale. Picking up a crew along the way is easy, falling in love and surviving the things that lurk in the sea is hard

DELIGHTFUL FIC

January:

Just the One, Two by Panny | Jessica Jones | Jessica/Trish | 10k They say you should never meet your heroes, but what about when you've been sort of in love with them since they broke your mother's marble sink? 

Daylight by @notbecauseofvictories | Star Wars | Rey/Luke | 3k “Can I ask what you think it is you’re doing?” Luke says. His voice is only a little strangled. The silence that falls in its place is awkward, thick as sand. “Oh,” Rey stutters out. “Is that not—?” “No,” Luke grits out. “Please put your clothes back on.”

run all the lights by @fahye | Captive Prince | Damen/Laurent | 8.5k He’s a slim, too-pretty boy of twenty, and the men of this particular underworld talk about him as though he’s an open flame, a sparking engine near a pool of gasoline: volatile, and not to be handled. Kid’s got balls of sheer fucking steel, Damen’s contact said. Which must be true, because having just lost a race against Damen for pink slips, Laurent looks him straight in the eye and says, “Double or nothing?” in a voice like vodka poured straight from the freezer.

They Say It's Mighty Fine by apocryphal | Teen Wolf | Sterek | 23k "Hello. This is Alpha Vernon Boyd, calling from Camp Remus about—""Derek?" Talia asks, confused. "You're calling about Derek? Is he okay? What happened?""Oh, boy." Melissa blows out a breath. "All right. Is he hurt?""He's been there for two hours, what could he possibly have—" John pauses. "Hang on, Camp Remus? Like the werewolf camp?"

León de mi Corazón by clockheartedcrocodile | The Exorcist | Tomas/Marcus | 16k | Not for the first time, Marcus wishes he were a poet. Tomas drinks up beautiful words like wine, practically thrives on them. He thinks of his own clumsy attempt at a letter, begun and re-begun until the whole thing had been consigned to the rubbish bin. It was laughable.Besides, he thinks, Tomas and Jessica wrote letters because they could not have each other.“You have me,” he says, quiet enough that Tomas won’t wake.

Things Worth Knowing by Femme (femmequixotic) | HP | Drarry | 163k After the Battle, Harry thinks he's left Hogwarts for good, but Minerva insists that all students return for an Eighth Year if they wish to sit for NEWTs in the spring, and Harry needs those NEWTs to go into the Aurors. Draco's just grateful not to be in Azkaban. Or the Manor. He's hoping he can steer clear of Potter this year and grapple with his own problems.

Under the Covers by ToAStranger | Stranger Things | Steve/Billy | 72k Steve is (maybe) a little bit still in love with Nancy Wheeler and (maybe) trying to figure himself out-- between the night terrors and the babysitting and the general weirdness that is Hawkins, Indiana-- before he graduates.Billy Hargrove fits in there somewhere (probably).

don't just stand there by brawlite | Stranger Things | Steve/Billy | 3.5k Steve kisses a stranger in a club in a desperate attempt to spurn an advance from an unwanted admirer. Turns out, it's not really a stranger at all.

Please refrain from using the break room as a work out facility during your lunch hour. If you are in need a gym recommendation, I'm happy to provide you some. Remove your weights from the lower cabinets at your earliest convenience.Regards, S. Harrington”This isn’t the first ridiculous email Steve has had to send to Hargrove, and Steve sincerely doubts it will be his last.

We Keep Meeting by scioscribe | Hamilton | Hamilton & Burr | 4.5k |  In which Hamilton finds himself a little more non-stop than even he expected, and Burr doesn't know why he's surprised that even death can't make Alexander Hamilton lie down and be quiet.

There Aren't Any Stars in the Sky by Ambrosia | Star Wars | Reylo | 4k | “Why are you here?” Rey asks. She appears to be meditating. Even his muscles remember the basics. Her eyes are peacefully closed.“Your mind is most open when you Jedi meditate, ‘letting everything go’,” he tells her, striding around in a vicious, predatory circle. “Which you would know if you had an at least halfway-competent teacher.”

Found Wanting by sellertape | The Bright Sessions | Mark/Damien | 2k | It didn’t take superpowers to know what Mark wanted him to say. He wanted him to lie. It didn’t take superpowers to get Damien to do what you wanted.

pull out the insides by SpineAndSpite | The Bright Sessions | Mark/Damien | 4k | “Stop,” Damien says again, more insistent this time.“I’m not doing it on purpose.” Mark's heart pounds in his ears and he sees Damien’s hands shaking. God. They shouldn’t have started talking about sex. Shouldn’t have filled in the colors and shadows to this pencil outline of a sketch forming between them. They shouldn’t have given it a name.

Life Is Not A Love Song by DetectiveJoan | The Bright Sessions | Mark/Damien | 4k |  “Oh, you know the old saying — once bitten, twice mildly paranoid that everyone you’ve ever met is secretly working for the shady government agency that kidnapped you.” Mark's voice is sing-song through the dressing room door.

Seeing in Color by what_alchemy | Pacific Rim | Newt/Hermann |  The Dr. Geiszler Hermann had found in the publications — printed pages worn with constant handling and tucked into his briefcase for easy access — was an eloquent scientist whose work functioned at a level far above almost anyone else Hermann had ever encountered in the field, and yet he neither patronized his readers nor expressed himself in the inexplicable jargon which so infected much academic work.

Strong Enough by therealraewest | Pacific Rim | Newt/Hermann | 4k |  "I would like to speak to Newt."

Laying Siege by astolat | GOT | Jaime/Brienne | 8k | “Marry me instead,” Jaime said.

Fool by astolat | GOT | Jaime/Brienne | 15k | Jaime didn’t really expect things to go well when he rode north, but after all, they hadn’t been going well otherwise, so it wasn’t that much of a change.

heartstrings by taylortot | Miraculous Ladybug | Marinette/Adrien | 60k |  one of marinette’s rare unlucky days turns into something treacherous. thanks to a certain cat, the real danger passes, but there are other things to be more afraid of. her heart, for example, might be one of them.

Words by astolat | GOT | Jaime/Brienne | 10k |  “So we’ll look for you in the North," Robb Stark said, "coming to pay your debt."

ashes to ashes, dust to dust by romanoff | Marvel | Tony/Steve | 2k | Series | Steve and Tony seek closure with a conversation.

nanna by biggrstaffbunch | Thor | Thor/Loki | 1k |  Thor, after.

just in it for the game by grim_lupine | Thor | Thor/Loki | 6k |  “It's excellent rehabilitation for my image,” Loki says, widening his eyes. “They love you, and because of that they'll trust me. You wouldn't ruin this for me, would you?”

Make Me by Ajaxthegreat | Star Wars | Hux/Ben Solo | 52k | A genocidal megalomaniac Emperor and a very slutty smuggler/occasional Resistance spy walk into a bar.

give my reflection a break by autoeuphoric (FreezingRayne) | The Bright Sessions | Damien/Joan | 5k | When the bell rings, she almost doesn’t answer. She hasn’t ordered anything and it’s too early for carolers. She does not speak to her neighbors, and she’s not about to start today.Joan gets up and answers the door anyway. Because she wants to.

Try, Try, Try Again by anticyclone | The Bright Sessions | 8k | Joan gets mugged. Damien interrupts. Interrupting is kind of his thing.

sharp shock to your soft side by agivise | The Bright Sessions | Mark & Damien | 22k | The universe is a cruel, unforgiving bitch, and honestly, he's a little sick and tired of it. Sure, he deserves it or whatever, but still, totally uncool, universe. Real poor timing.

Scarier Things by starkraving | The Bright Sessions | Mark & Damien | 5k |  Mark drags Damien back across the country in what amounts to the most karmic reverse kidnapping in history, but stopping to take hipster pics of scenic overlooks will not protect you from the scary stuff lurking in the liminal space behind highway truck-stops.

Patient Intake by starkraving | The Bright Sessions | Joan & Damien | 9k |  ssume Joan takes a less passive approach to Damien’s influence in her life. Assume she’s sitting in her car with the engine running and he’s on the sidewalk in front of her. Assume there’s six months between this moment and the moment she first met him.  

Artifice by buttpatrol | Wolf 359 | Eiffel/Hera | 23k | A story told in parts about colour palettes, identity, robot uprisings, sensational trials, space, and messy love.

blow your mongrel mind by endquestionmark | Wolf 359 | Eiffel/Jacobi | 13k | The first time Eiffel sees Colonel Warren Kepler — shockingly real, after so many days spent somewhere between delusion and despair — what strikes him most is how still Kepler is.

Calling Out My Name by vlasdygoth | Wolf 359 | Jacobi/Kepler | 2.5k | Five times Kepler called Jacobi a pet name, and one time Jacobi managed to pull it off on him.

and twice as bright by endquestionmark | Wolf 359 | Eiffel/Hera | 6k |  “Eiffel.” Very quiet, hardly audible through the echoes. “What is it like?”

40 Questions - Meme for Shippers

So @bethanyactually was doing these yesterday, and I wanted to answer them all, so I am! I’ll do a couple then put the rest under a cut so you all don’t get a wall of text. :D (I’ve actually had this open in a word document for about a week, so it’s way later than I intended to post hahahaha whoops)

1.  Talk about the first ship you ever had. OH MAN. My wee shipper heart! I think (think!) the first one I ever had was the couple from Today’s Special? That kids show where the mannequin came to life and they were obviously in love with eachother.

2.  Talk about three of the most important ships throughout your life. Oooo in my life? Well…. Snape/Hermione was one that I shipped for YEARS as a teen (I still ship them but don’t actively read about them). Bulma/Vegeta from DBZ really got me into fandom as a youngling. Inquisitor/Cullen is so important to me too, because of the impact that Dragon Age Inquisition had on me.

3.  What’s your current OTP? But how do I pick just one? Right this second I have tabs open for stories to read with Bellamy/Clarke, from The 100. And also Jyn/Cassian from Rogue One. And a couple random Inquisitor/Cullen stories and Steve/Bucky ones.

4.  What’s your current NOTP? Um….. There isn’t a lot I don’t ship, really….. Hm…. Haha - Voldemort/Hermione. I don’t know what was happening in the internet last week but wow. Ooooo wait I thought of one! Ron/Hermione. Nope, don’t like it.

5.  Do you have any poly ships? Damn you, Leverage, but you made me ship it. So hard. SO HARD.

6.  How do you feel about love triangles? While I’m pretty much over them right now, done right I don’t necessarily dislike them. Sometimes. Really though, at this point in my reading/shipping life, a love triangle seems like such a contrived plot point that I just want it to go away.

7.  How do you feel about RPF? It makes me really uncomfortable, and I don’t read it. Fictional characters are wonderful to write about, but real people are actually real people and there is a line there, I think. (Though, when I was but a young teen, a couple friends and I were deep DEEP into writing Hanson RPF – I think we wrote that they moved in next door? It spawned and epic and ultimately weirdly tragic tale.)

8.  Have you ever shipped yourself with a character? Have I ever introduced you to my fictional husband, Ser Cullen Stanton Rutherford? (Though honestly, I actually ship myself more with the Iron Bull, because I can’t play through his romance in game.)

9.  Do you have many ships that never got together at all? Yesssssss so many. Betty/Jughead (I haven’t thought of them in so long, thanks Riverdale), let’s not even get into Stiles/Derek, are Clarke/Bellamy actually together? I don’t know, I think most of my ships are not canon. I tend to like those almost more in fandom, because romances that happen on screen have already happened! It’s a weird feeling.  

10.  Do you ship any characters that have never met? No, I can’t think of any?

11.  Talk about your favorite first kiss. Ooooo Veronica and Logan. They have an A+ first kiss.

12.  Have you ever been disappointed when your ship finally got together? Well, most of my ships don’t…

13.  Has a ship ever broken your heart? YES. Elizabeth and Will in Pirates of the Caribbean. The ending of the first trilogy, where they can only be together for one day every 10 years was SO UNSATISFYING I can’t actually watch the movies again.

14.  How do you feel about will they/won’t they? Uggggg. I don’t mind a bit of tension about the relationship, but if it’s dragged on too long I lose interest, and frankly think the relationship becomes unhealthy. Pining is great, pining for years is awkward. (See: Bones)

15.  Have you ever “shipped at first sight”? Yes, pretty much always.

16.  Talk about a ship you initially disliked. I would say probably my OT3 from Leverage, just because I didn’t want an OT3 in my life LOL.

17.  Talk about a pairing you’ve stopped shipping romantically. When I was reading the first Mistborn book, I initially shipped Vin and Kelsier together. However as the book progressed, they fell into more of a father/daughter relationship which suited the characters perfectly.

18.  Talk about a moment which made you question an entire ship. I’m sure there is something but I’m drawing a blank, friends. A BLANK. I guess the entire Civil War arc made me question all my Steve/Tony feels?

19.  Have you ever shipped something despite yourself? Well, I am normally not into poly relationships, but then ALONG CAME LEVERAGE AND HERE WE ARE. Lordie. The three of them are just so in love. I really didn’t want anything to do with The 100 as a show either, but I slipped and fell in thanks to the fanfiction LOL.

20.  Talk about a ship you feel alone in shipping. Lassiter/Shawn from Psych. I mean. Clearly they love eachother. But there just isn’t a whole lot of fanfiction! One day, maybe!

21.  Is there a ship you just don’t get, but have nothing against? Scott/Stiles, I think. I really love them as brothers, and have a hard time moving past that!

22.  Which of your ships have the best chemistry? Steve/Bucky, probably. Sterek is a close second too!

23.  Which of your ships deserve better writing? All have good writing, I think, but I think the Jack/Phryne ship needs more. Much more. Because I love them and I need it :D (Actually, more is basically what I want for all fandoms ever, because I’m just so greedy LOL)

24.  Do you mostly ship canon pairings? No, I think I ship the ones that never really happen the most!

25.  Have you ever shipped a pairing before you even started watching the show/movie simply because of gifs and graphics or similar? I have never had the slightest desire to watch The 100, but I ship Bellamy/Clarke so hard. I also started watching Teen Wolf solely because of the quality Sterek fandom of the time.

26.  Have you noticed a pattern in your shipping? Is there a romantic dynamic you’re more drawn to? I love enemies to lovers, I love “OOOPS I caught a feeling what do I do”, I love an age difference (only in fiction kids, only in fiction), I love sass and pining. I love a long, drawn out story where both of the idiots think the other doesn’t have any romantic feelings. Oh, and coffee shop AUs. Classic.

27.  Is there a ship you’ve shipped for most of your life? Not really, though Snape/Hermione is probably the longest running one.

28.  Does shipping come easily to you? As easy as breathing. I love love! Show me two people with the slightest degree of feelings and BAM I have probably shipped it.

29.  Do you need to ship something to really enjoy a movie/book/tv show/comic? No, but it certainly helps! And frankly, unless it is a piece of entertainment with only one person I am probably going to find the ship hiding in it.

30.  Name a couple of fandoms in which you have no ships. Ahahahahahahahhaha it’s possible that one doesn’t exist but TRY ME INTERNET.

31.  Talk about one of your favorite headcanons for a ship you love. It’s not really a headcannon per se, but I’ve read a lot of fanfics where Jyn/Cassian share a bed before they really admit their feelings and I love itttttt.

32.  Share five must-read fics. But How to choose??? Tearing Down the Heavens [Inquisitor/Cullen – Dragon Age Inquisition], Champion’s Coffer [Hawke/Varric – Dragon Age 2], let’s give ‘em something to talk about [Jyn/Cassian – Star Wars Rogue One], regardless of warning the future doesn’t scare me at all [Clarke/Bellamy – The 100], This Your Protect [Steve/Bucky – Captain America: The Winter Soldier]

33.  Name your favorite fanartist(s). Ummmm….. I don’t have one?

34.  Share your favorite fanmix for your OTP. I don’t have one of these either!

35.  Recommend 1-5 shipper blogs. Pass – I don’t want to link to people and all the blogs I follow are multi fandom blogs :D

36.  Do you create fanmixes/gif sets/fanart/fic/fanvids and so on for you ships? Nope!

37.  Do you have a favorite trope and/or AU for your OTP? Coffeeshop AUs are just the best I think. A long slow burn and enemies to lovers is also great.

38.  Do you like and use ship names? I think the only one I really use is Sterek, the rest of them are name/name.

39.  Is there a fictional relationship you’d really want for yourself? Mmmm nah. I mean, I love my husband a lot, and frankly, we put our favorite characters through some shit!

40.  If you could change one thing about your OTP, what would that be? Hahahah I don’t have an OTP – the closest I can get is sometimes an OTP within a fandom lol. Let’s see. I think across the board I would like to see more producers/writers who love the fandom actually DO something with that information. Less queerbaiting and actually making it canon, for a start (looking at you, Teen Wolf). If there are some unattached people that are loudly and enthusiastically paired together, why not try it out? Sometimes the writers have a different path in mind, and I get that, but so often in shows it’s to draw out the tension or to just ignore it entirely. And please, stop the love triangles.

Well, now that I’ve read and written the word “ship” way to many times, thank you and goodnight. :D
