💘 A fic you couldn't stop reading once you started

ha so many! one thing about me, when I start something, I must consume it all immediately. one example:

For A Good Time Call by gayrefrain

I really love texting AUs, and this one was so much fun! I devoured it all in pretty much one sitting

✨ A fic you wish you could read again for the first time

In the Shadows by StormDancer

one of my favorites of all time <3

🤔 The first fic you think of when I say "Fantasy AU"

By stardust and moonlight by @imsfire2

without a doubt, one of the best fantasy AUs for Rebelcaptain 💜

8, 17, 22!

8: how do you mark your spot in a book?

either a dedicated bookmark or the receipt the book came with!

17: what would your superpower be? how would you use it?

shapeshifting is the easy, obvious answer i've given to this one since i was little, but not just for the reason u might think. I loved to play technicalities with it: "i would shapeshift into a version of myself with the knowledge i wish i had" or "i would shapeshift into a version of myself with more skill in xyz". very letter of the law approach to superpowers

22: what spices do you always use when cooking?

my most consistently used spices are probably (in no particular order) cinnamon, paprika, turmeric, black pepper, cumin, coriander..... no surprises i think :p

[bookshelfdreams]

Trick or treat!

I'm dressed in my usual clothes (all black) and cat ears (also black) and comically oversized fake claws. I am a... Krätzchen.

Mystery potion: a milky, off-white concoction in square bottle, made from deep green glass. When you pull out the stopper, it smells sweet and earthy, like elder flowers. It does something weird with the light; instead of reflections, shadows dance over the surface. No label, but on one side, there's a tiny sticker with a bell on it.

4. Favorite chore?

folding and putting away the laundry <3

16. Where do you go when you need to get out of the house but it’s raining?

hmm, i dunno. probably just out into the rain unless it's really really heavy, in which case i just stay home...in the time it would take me to get to a new place, i'd be soaked through. so i don't really have an indoor place i go if it's raining. there is this really lovely cedar tree nearby with a really thick canopy of needles and it's possible to stand under it and not get wet. so if i'm already out and it starts raining heavily, i might go stand under that tree. for the most part though rain doesn't bother me and is even nice. it's only if it's so heavy that i'm having trouble seeing through my glasses that it becomes a problem.

39. What little treat do you always get when you run errands?

well oftentimes i time errands to coincide with going to the library to pick up a hold so i guess i'll say...a book on hold at the library!

🌤️Share your favorite piece of dialogue from your WIP. ~tapedsleeves

here’s a lil nate/ej i’m working on for a different prompt from another beloved mutual

“So…” Nate does his best to look up through his eyelashes. “You come here often?”

“Shut the fuck up.” EJ stirs the powdered creamer into his coffee with more force than is probably necessary. “It’s your fault we’re here.”

Their counselor makes them all mingle at the end of each session. Today, Ken seems hell-bent on inviting anyone who will make eye contact to the cafe down the street, and Nate is hell-bent on avoiding that invite. Ken’s sweet and what happened to his cat was tragic, for sure, but Nate just can’t.

“It’s not my fault. Your BFF is the one making us come here —“

“Because you can’t get over your BFF’s trade—“ EJ’s stabbing the cup with the stir stick, now. Nate’s not the one with issues, here.

“Shhh.” He puts a hand on EJ’s elbow. “Daisy,” he hisses, when EJ tries to throw his hand off.

“Fuckin’ Daisy,” EJ mutters. “She’s so nosy.” But he sighs and lets Nate keep his hand where it is. “Sorry,” he says, finally.

🦋 for the summertime writer asks!

🦋 tell us about your current wip

Oh booooooyyyyyy I have several. I'll talk about one of them for now, and if anyone wants to use this ask again, I'll talk about a different one! :D

For Dreamling Bingo, one of my squares is Fairy Tale Curse. So the basic plot of this is Dream is cursed to be a dragon until someone can learn to love him. Not quite a beauty and the beast retelling, but similar premise! I've shared a few snippets but have a totally new one:

“Then why have you come?” Dream asks, bracing himself for a fight anyways. “I have not changed my mind, little witch. You will not pass through here without killing me first.” “There are more ways to harm a dragon,” Johanna answers viciously, and it’s all the warning Dream receives before she pulls out an old tome and begins reciting what Dream quickly realizes to be a curse.

14 and 23 for fic asks!

From Fanfic Writer Asks

14. If you could see one of your fics adapted into a visual medium, such as comic or film, which fan fic would you pick?

Side Deck is the first thing that comes to mind. But after going through my recent works (hahaha, yeah, forgetting what I've written), I think A Striking Match would be a really fun story to be adapted into a visual medium. Mostly flirty and just a little suggestive, plus we'd get to see the food porn from their dates since I suck at describing food in writing.

23. How do you choose where to end a chapter (if you have multi-chapter works)?

Usually, I go by what feels like a narratively complete portion of the story. Hard to explain, but it's a point that "feels satisfying" or "complete episode." Of course, this often results in my chapters being 8-10k words long. Which are long... Depending on the fic, I'll either deal with it or try to see if there's a good place to try and cut it in half. Still bothers me afterward though, haha. Feels like people can tell where I "artificially" split a chapter and it affects pacing, but maybe that's all in my head?

Top 5 Anna Torv characters!

my first thought was duh, that’s easy!, and then I realised oh no I have to rank them 😭

helen norville (the chokehold she has on me.....)

altliv (only because she's the one who's giving me Active Brainrot at the moment)

olivia dunham (forever fav <3)

this is where it gets really hard... but wendy made such an impression on me even though it's been a few years since I've watched mindhunter

i'm gonna have to go with tess because she made me fall back headfirst into the anna rabbit hole last year

ask me my “top 5” anything!

[daughterofhecata]

1 for the dad AU, 5, 18 & 26? 😘

[fic writer asks]

1. Share a song that makes you think of [fic title]

Sadly only have very few songs for the dad AU. Mainly it's "The Kid I Used to Know" and "Sob Story" by Arrested Youth and "Face to Face" by Citizen Soldier. Yeah, it's pretty Skinny-centric, but lbr the whole thing is Skinny centric, so 🤷‍♂️

5. What’s a fic idea you’ve had that you will never write?

Okay, I can only do "I'll *probably* not get around to this" because I have an ADHD brain and talking about it might lead directly to me starting to write it, but there was a post going around a while ago about how Peter probably has Cotta's private number saved under 'Jeffrey' or something so it's less obvious how often he calls Cotta for help - he just sends 'Jeffrey' his location. Which lead to the plot bunny of Bob or Justus catching Peter (they're all college age at that point ofc) sexting with 'Jeffrey' and Peter being very, very relieved about the fact he still hasn't changed the contact name.

18. What’s one of your favorite lines you’ve written in a fic?

Excuse me. You of all people should be aware of the amount of words I have posted in the last five years?!

But I did reread "Necessary Tragedies" earlier because I mentioned it a few times today, and not to brag but "Konjunktive heilen keine Wunden. (Die Zeit übrigens auch nicht.)" does still fuck.

26. Is there something you’ve written that you would never want your family to see?

Well. A lot of the porn, obviously. Especially not the kinky porn where my own personal kinks are only very thinly disguised. But for a more serious answer, my brother has read "out of hell" and would also be allowed to read "suffering is just suffering" if he wanted to, but I absolutely do not want my parents to see that because idk if they're ready for that conversation.

[reveloser]

hii!! let's go for 8, 23, 45 and 84?

23 - cherry coke by yeeun (no one understood her... but i did!!)

45 - soty roar by tbz

84 - rain to be by onewe <333333

[miss-ingno]

15 and 45 for the ask game 🥰

15. What’s your favorite AU that you’ve written?

Oh no, I can't choose! D: I really, really like my YOHE AUs? The ones where Kunlun was always Kunlun and meets Shen Wei during the war somehow. Especially in a Romeo & Juliet style, opposite sides of war stories.

But I also am terribly fond of my vampire AU in which Shen Wei is a vampire lord and has been in love with a version of ZYL for 10k years...

And!! There's also my unposted Arranged Marriage AU, which is a Canon AU in which Dixing and Haixing have an uneasy, cold war-esque relation (which is obviously why Weilan have to get married to avoid war breaking out uwu).

Canon AUs are just fun with Guardian ngggggh...

45. What’s something you’ve improved on since you started writing fic?

Fight scenes, sex scenes, and grammar!

The first two I took some time to focus on in particular, the second is a side-effect of regular writing I believe 😂

Tbf I think I'm slowly getting better at raising emotional tension and stakes, too, and I'm proud of where I'm at with dialogue and pacing in general :D

[gothprentiss]

Temily

i’ve got to say, temily has never really clicked for me as a ship. i could waffle a lot here but the baseline reason is that later-season prentiss is, for me, totally denatured as a character, and even the friendliness the show develops between them feels listless as a result. this is particularly striking because lewis has that very fresh new character dynamism about her, so my first thought is always about how the show is just dicking all of its earlier work on prentiss just because no one could bother to like, update the show bible or rewatch an earlier season or something. like, don’t get me wrong, i remember watching the barnes arc for the first time and being like “hey they should make out or something” during that terribly written balcony chat scene, and i am so receptive to the idea of them due to my deep lesbian fondness for two hot women getting together. but i’ve got zero meaningful compulsion to ship prentiss with lewis because of how weird that era is for prentiss characterization; for me, it just kind of drags lewis down because my first thought is always about that characterization. also as of cme i’m next-level obsessed with rebecca! and i think the next season should just be about tara and rebecca trying to smooth down rebecca’s absolutely next level dc careerist nightmare hackles, and in precisely as gratuitous a way as the weird pg relationship stuff last season, post-credits scene about them fucking good and all.

B3 B6 and D2 for the fanfic asks!

B3 - What’s the best device to read on (phone, laptop, tablet…)? Why? My phone, definitely for the portability of it all. But if I want to leave a detailed comment on something, I'll usually switch to my laptop.

B6 - What is your favourite story trope? Why? enemies to lovers / bitter rivals to lovers are such a big thing for me. There's just something delightful about two people who know each other at their worst, learning to know each other at their best, and then being soft about it. But not too soft! But when the antagonizing goes from genuine to fond, ahhhhh my heart 💖💖

D2 - Who/Where did you get your last fic rec from? @lucienne-thee-librarian! They do a wonderful job of recommending fics that are not focused on the juggernaut ship that is Dreamling and I am eternally grateful for them for that!

24. Share a moodboard for (one of) your current WIP(s).

I don't make moodboards because I'm not very good at them. But I sometimes try to make fic headers, and they're similar? Hahaha. Anyway, here's the fic header/part moodboard for Lure.
