#the author has a tumblr but I think they changed their url so I cant find them now ksjdhfsdf

[elle-smells]

allow me to take a second to talk (bcs I've been holding this in for a year) about the best, and my favourite, fanfiction I have ever read, seven minutes in heaven by bluesxrgent (AO3)

Quick summary: "Thirty years after their notorious split, the members of the 80′s rock legend that was the band Seven Minutes in Heaven open up about the events that shot them to stardom, the ones that broke them apart at the height of their fame, and everything in between"

or skam france characters but in a rock band au

Its just so...dkjfdsf I made a list so I wouldnt just go on a happy rant about it lmao:

- The format is so different from any fanfiic I've read. Its in an interview style format, so its like an audio transcript and the story is told by the characters almost documentary style if that makes sense. I was skeptical on if I was gonna like it but it works so freaking well!!

- Its👏so👏well👏written. OMG I could go on and on- again, bcs of the format the writing style is a little different but holy shit if it isnt engaging as fuck. It relies solely on the character's memories and re tellings of the story and yet its so easy to picture everything in your head and get lost in it. (it does deal with heavier themes so if you're gonna read pls review the trigger warnings at the top of the chapters)

- Adding on to that last one, the characters are so well written and developed its insane. They all have their skam france personalities as the base but the rest is all new and so interesting i- Like, it came to a point in which I saw them as completely different characters bcs they have so mch new depth and backstories and dynamics that work so well within the story's universe. You see them as individuals but also how their dynamics change once the come together as a group its just uugh so good. Speaking of Dynamics....

- The main pairing is Lucas & Eliott but like the story doesnt just revolve around them ( like, sometimes I would forget this is also them telling their love story fdskjfhsd) There are a bunch of new (amazing) romantic and platonic pairings that are skam fandom headcanon compliant dskfhdffs. Again, the characters are written in a way that works trust me.

- Its about a band so naturally...there are palylists that go along with the chapters dskjfsdf like most of the songs the band writes and contribute the development in the story are already existing songs so making the author made the albums and its fun to listen to them on spotify with the context of the story.

Finally, its just an ✨experience✨ skhkdfs. honestly its so good and it is one of if not the best piece of fandom writing I've seen (not that others arent good, bcs all of you are so talented omg, but yk what I mean). Take it from someone that at the time of reading was kinda iffy about most of the characters in skamfr djkshad but the fic kinda cleaned the slate and re wrote them in a way thats so engaging- ok Im done now this is too long

PLAGIARISM ALERT~! 🤚🛑

Yup, youuu guessed it. Here’s another list of Wattpad users stealing works from tumblr and posting it to their accounts without asking for permission.* If you’ve given the person permission great! But chances are most on this list have not. Please don’t send unnecessary hate to these people, just inform them if your work is stolen and report their links. Also, please reblog to boost. Chances are this will not show up in tags and it needs to get out there. I will also not add a read now, because everyone needs to see this no matter how bulky it is.

Urls might have also changed/ they’re not on tumblr anymore in this too so if you know what they’ve changed to or if they left please let them know! Now on to the list! 

First we have this one!

Cant stop by @lokirels 

Black lace for Beginner, Dog tags and storage units, by @moteldwelling 

Lost Control by @navybrat817

On his Shoulder by @whateveriwant

Pretty face on a pretty neck @whistlingwillows

Around your neck, That black tee by @beyondspaceandstars

Two Servings by @marvel-diaries

Next we have this collection. It’s mainly Bucky x reader HOWEVER they have stories for other fandoms as well. There’s a lot here so I’m only going to list the people, they are titled by what assume your one shot probably was title with I’ll put how many times too.

@ gaybybirth (can’t tag them) @poeticblissme @221bshrlocked (2x) @bitsandbobsandstuff (2x) @stuckydealer @ugh-supersoldiers @notimetoblog @jaamesbbaarnes or jjamesbarnes (maybe? Idk there were a few of ya’ll that popped up in this and it might be another person) @buckybarnesstar @prettyyoungtragedy @redgillan @avasparks @ceruleanbucky @ xmidnight-moonlightx (can’t tag them either) @ cleolemonfanfiction (might not be there url anymore) @nev3rfound @ agent-styleson (might not have the url or left) @ thottybarnes (can’t tag/i think their url changed) @revengingbarnes (2x) @ babybarnesy (can’t tag) @melodramaticfanatic @borkingbarnes @sinner-as-saint @ jewelofwinter (can’t tag) @baroquebucky @sincerelymlg @ jupiterbucky (can’t tag) @ flightofthefantasieson (can’t tag) @ fatbottombarnes (can’t tag) @sebbystanimagines (5x) @sergeanttucker @ hannie-writes-marvel (can’t tag) @ spacemansam (don’t think that’s their url anymore but they have a bunch) @ fandommaniacx (can’t tag) @littledarlinwrites (2x) @becs-bunker (3x) @the--sad--hatter @thebuckboibarnes @angryschnauzer @heavenbarnes 

On to the third list. Once again there’s a lot however most of the people in the list I can’t tag/ they’re url isn’t attached to them anymore. So either they didn’t credit properly or it’s been long enough they original authors have changed their names.  Make sure you check their other ‘works’ because they also have stolen stories on their page.

And then lastly is a user that was in my last post that still has their story up with a bunch of stolen work too. 

I’m sure there’s more out there, but that’s what I’ve found for now at least in the marvel fandom. This isn’t including the like four others I found for other fandoms. Please do not take our work and post it some place else unless we specifically state it’s alright. 

*this is also only stuff I’ve found where they’ve blatantly stated they took it from Tumblr and that they didn’t write it. The only way you can tell if your work has been posted some places else is to look it up on a plagiarism site like Quetext.

DO YOU WRITE MCYT FIC?

DO YOU HAVE TROUBLE PROMOTING YOUR OWN WRITING?

DO YOU HAVE ONE FIC YOU’VE READ THAT YOU THINK EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ?

WELL HAVE I GOT THE EVENT FOR YOU!

hi my name’s mikey, you may have seen me around but im here in your screen rn to tell you about MIKEY’S 1 YEAR FIC REC EXCHANGE 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO! (no i will not change the name).

as of january 24th 2022, it will have been an entire year since I posted my first mcyt fic! absolutely bonkers!! i did an exchange like this back in 2020 for a different fandom, and i thought “hey, that went well last time. lets do it again!”

This exchange is for anyone who writes any sort of mcyt fic, as I know fic on tumblr often gets buried. under the cut you can read the rules, but here’s the tl:dr-

send me 2 fics/series’: 1 that you have written and 1 that someone else has written. i will be creating a moodboard and a rec post for every. single. submission. 

if you wish to take part, please reblog this post so that i know people are interested. even if you dont want to take part, it would be nice if you could reblog this post anyway, so more people can see it.

did that catch your interest? well here’s the full in-depth rules!!

HOW TO SUBMIT

send me the link/name + author of 1 fic/series that you have written that you are most proud of. this can be sent via an ask, a submission, or a dm. if you work via a sideblog or wish for me to tag a seperate blog, then give me that url too.

then, send me the link/name + author of 1 fic/series that you have read and you think everyone should read. if the author has a tumblr linked in an obvious place, then i will tag them in the post. 

you have until the 10th of january 2022 to send in your submissions.

GUIDELINES

1) while i am mainly a hermitcraft/empires smp focused blog, you can submit a work for any fandom, as long as it is mcyt! (althought i request that rpf is avoided. i know ao3′s tagging is a mess, but i trust your judgement.)

2) any genre, warnings, or rating is allowed. on the posts i make for each submission, each fic will be fully labelled with everyone you’d see on ao3. for tumblr fics, i will make my own judgement. 

3) no reader insert. i will allow oc’s, but reader insert is a huge personal squick for me. just a personal preference. 

4) fics must be available to read on ao3 or tumblr! i don’t get along with wattpad at all.

5) if you are the co-writer of a fic, you can count that as one of your own, or agree to a shared submission with your co-writer(s).

6) please keep in mind that i have to read every. single. one. of these fics. that’s not to say i am putting a limit on word count, but understand that if the fic is very long then i may only skim read it to get the general vibes.

7) likewise, please try to choose fics that have fairly obvious themes. at the end of the day, moodboards are pictures, and its very difficult to find 9 images to represent 500 words of domestic fluff.  

8) unfinished fics are allowed!! just be aware that if the fic is still in progress then the vibes might change. i am only human. i cant see the future.

9) anonymous submissions are allowed! if you post anonymously on ao3 and wish to remain anonymous, then pls submit your works via an anonymous ask (with an identifying emoji/name if possible). alternatively, you can dm me and state that you wish to remain anonymous. i am just a stranger on the internet, but i promise i wont tell.

10) if a fic has any fanart with it that isn’t linked obviously in the notes somewhere then please send that too. if not, i will be using either just images of the minecraft skins for the moodboards, or any art that i myself have drawn that i feel fits. 

PRIZE

(okay, it’s not a competition, but prize makes it sound more exciting)

each fic will get a rec post, featuring a moodboard made specifically for the fic. it’s obviously not mandatory, but if you take part in the exchange then it would be nice to not only rb your own moodboards, but some of the others as well. after all, this exchange is about promoting people’s hard work!

DEADLINE

moodboards will begin posting on the 24th of january. submissions will close on the 10th of january, as that gives me time to make sure everything is finished. 

please remember that i am only one guy, and a college student at that. i have a life outside of the internet and am, ultimetely, doing this for fun!

EXTRA

final moodboards, as well as any additional information will be posted under the #fr echange 2022 tag. the last time i did this was for bandom fics, but if you want to check out some examples then you can find those in the #fr exchange 2020 tag

[thefanficfaerie]

OK I am curious as all hell. For the fanfic asks: 7, 10, 13, 14, 23, 24, 27 & 28. (Feel free to send a few my way as well if you like!)

7. What’s your favourite fic genre to read?

I love romance and historical. Historical is most of what I read that is print. 

10. How do you find new fic?

On tumblr: Searches. I search the character x reader. I also make sure I change the url to tagged and not just recent. 

On AO3, I have my favorite tags saved and thats how I find them that way. 

13. What is your favourite fanfic trope?

Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics

14. What kind of plotline are you always here for?

Super complicated ones. I like chapter fics more than one shots. 

23. What do you wish more fic authors would do?

I would love to see more ABO, specifically for Steve and Tony. There just seems to be way more Bucky than anyone else.  I would love to see authors branch out with occupations and have readers doing different things. So like in the case of Star Trek they aren’t all engineers or work in medical or a major science. 

24. What do you wish more fic authors would stop doing?

This has actually died down recently but coffee shop aus. Not everyone drinks coffee and yeah i know coffee shops dont just sell coffee but 9 times out of 10 reader gets coffee. I like the premise of a coffee shop au. Im just tired of them being set in a coffee shop. Also stop tagging your Bucky fic with Steve Rogers x Reader. The story is about Bucky and not Steve. I get annoyed when I am trying to find Steve Rogers fics and I get a ton of bucky. 

27. What’s your favourite POV (point of view) to read? (first, second, third)

I love second person. I like being able to role play, which is the great thing about fic. 

28. What do you think of OC’s?

I like OCs ok. They arent my favorite but Ill read them. I am a minority. I don’t care if you give the character a name or a description as long as you use “You.” It doesnt bother me. I cant really explain why using third person does bother me. I guess its the same reason why people don’t like using Y/N cause it takes you of the story. Using third person takes me out of it.  I just like feeling like I am that character.  And I feel like using second person does that. I don’t know. Maybe I am weird. And I know not everyone feels that way. 

Send me a fanfic reader ask

[dollwritesarchive]

oh ok. tumblr asks really are a hellscape. everything be getting lost in the void. hopefully u get this one. a blog called omega-nicoleexposed was created. a few months ago mimi of captain-rogers-beard was falsely accused of plagiarizing & it had real life consequences as her chances of getting published were diminished. i cant link posts in asks but if you go to this blog the post in particular im talking about is tagged 'marvel writers'

OKAY so I want to preface this with a couple of points.

1. My followers that have been around since this mess, you know I was openly critical of the situation; I hate plagiarism and I don’t care if it’s a major work or a fanfiction. I do NOT retract what I said about plagiarism, but my stance has been altered by the new information.

I lost mutuals and friends over a situation that didn’t concern me, and that’s one of the reasons I thought about ignoring this now. However I think it’s important.

2. I don’t know who Nicole is, I was never mutuals with her, never on her side, etc. I do not condone the crazy shit she has done like harassing Mimi or anyone else on this hellish site. She has been blocked on my account for a while, but before she was, she reblogged a couple of my posts about the issue and I in NO WAY intended to relate to her via those posts. So the people who claim I’m just as bad as her, I can’t even take you seriously.

3. This blog was brought to my attention last night. This is old news that I thought long and hard about leaving buried, but seeing as though my position has changed, I figured I owed it to you guys to give an explanation as to why.

- so, I read over some of the exposed blog but I’m honestly tired ? I don’t believe I was ever mentioned on the blog (perhaps I was, I’m not sure) BUT I know I can speak for myself and I’m sure a couple of others who took a similar stance: we were, in no way, trying to maliciously attack Mimi by speaking out against plagiarism. I even tried to avoid using her name or url even. I never sent any asks to her. I never knew that Nicole was leading this hate crusade straight to Mimi. I am honestly admitting that I was not fully informed on the situation, and I should’ve been. If I would’ve known the details of this feud, perhaps I would’ve been more apprehensive about speaking up, because it genuinely sounds like a them issue. The problem is that I saw receipts highlighting the other exact same phrases and sentences, word for word, in both works, and had only surface level information. I have never interacted with either of these users before.

The main point I tried to make back then was that Mimi SEEMINGLY had similarities to the YMM situation, except it was a much bigger author and not smaller creators. I didn’t like that the two instances were treated differently, when they had the same offense, (once again, SEEMINGLY. Please keep reading).

At that time, as I mentioned, I had no idea Nicole was gunning for Mimi, so I want to take a moment out of this post to address the fact that if said screenshots were altered/taken out of context/essentially falsified I genuinely apologize to Mimi for spreading the false information.

To put it simply, I still believe in what I said back then, as far as plagiarism is concerned, but Mimi herself seems to be innocent now with this new information, and Nothing I can say about how sorry I am will change the frustrations that seeped into her life outside of tumblr.

I did see on the blog that Mimi has had some issues getting published, had to go to a lawyer, etc. If the preofessionals handling the case deemed mimis work not plagiarism, then it isn’t, and everyone should leave this situation alone. I am sorry that she’s had trouble getting published because of this situation, but i do hope that it all gets resolved if it hasn’t already.

Now, as for Nicole. She’s... a psycho. I believe she feeds off of this drama and I don’t think the exposed blog should really exist, you’re giving her exactly what she wants. I am, in no way, affiliated with her nor do I care to be. I’m not LIKE her. I’m not “as horrible” as her. I have never sent a lick of hate to people defending Mimi or Mimi herself. I don’t harass people. I stick to myself and chill in my bubble.

The actual exposed blog, though I think what they gave us was pertinent information, should stop engaging with her. Stop feeding into this mess. It’s going to give her a green light to harass Mimi again or milk this situation to the bitter end.

I hope this clears up some of the vagueness from before, and I am open to having adult, calm discussions on this issue for as long as I can handle, if you have questions or comments. However, if you come to harass me or take any sort of attitude with me, your ask gets deleted and you get blocked.

[kyungpom]

i didn’t and that just goes to show how reliable the info that is being passed around is. i’m not gonna link the post so i won’t direct anyone there but it’s a sub!soo url (no surprises here) i can’t believe somebody has put that much effort into pulling stuff out of my blog to present it to people out of context to “prove” i’m a horrible person and to have an excuse to attack me and incite people to do the same and to intimidate others so that they won’t associate with me. and all because i talked about heteronormativity in kyungsoo fic. “it’s a shame that even though topping or bottoming doesn’t have to be tied to personality or physical appearance a lot of people can’t accept that and you can’t even talk about it because it causes a riot. “

point proven. a year ago some kaisoo shippers attacked me because of a stupid post, started a top vs bottom war in the tags, a big ksoo blog made a post about me and somebody sent me a message that said something like “we’re coming for you” and i didn’t think it would take them this long to come back, whoever that was.

so i saw a callout post for me with screencaps and they added one of my replies where an anon asked me what are my fave ships and i said smth like: ksoo/animals, ksoo/kids im ????? (if the joke wasn’t clear i meant to say i like kyungsoo interacting with animals, kids and i think i’ve even said i like him/food more than i like ships lmao i don’t even have an otp cause i don’t obsess over fictional relationships like that. i think i even said ksoo/himself once. i always change the answer when ppl ask me about my otp cause i don’t have one. and then they proceeded to interpret other posts related to children in a p*dophillic way.

and btw i don’t use “shipping” as romantic exclusively because humans are more complicated than that so that’s another thing to keep in mind in the future.

and on the topic of fiction they also posted some darker headcanons and posts about movies to demonstrate how i think kyungsoo is actually like that when i literally used the word headcanon which means it’s a personal interpretation separate from reality, hence the ‘head’ part of the word aka i don’t think it’s real it’s just in your head and you shouldn’t think so either but i guess some people don’t know how to read?) this blog clearly says in the description there will be darker stuff in here. IF NOT from fic, fanart or headcanons, from kyungsoo’s own works:

and we will talk about them because what i intend to normalize in relation to dark fiction is not that these things are ok but that violent and dark thoughts like these are normal (ask anyone who’s got their head out of their ass, esp. a psychologist and you will see) they can be intrusive or nightmares or your own experiences, they can be things you’re afraid of and it’s ok to talk about them with someone who understands this, to analyze them, and to learn from them without fear of getting harassed (yes, you can learn from this stuff, believe it or not). because guess what? even your faves have their own inner world where dark things brew and are interested in this kind of fiction too! they might even want to play the most horrible characters themselves

(x)

(x)

these are some of the warnings for the movies he mentioned:

taken from the chaser & i saw the devil parental guides.

and you know why they wanna do it? me neither but i would like to hear them talk about it without the fear of the public lashing out at them for interpreting a character. but what can you really expect from a public that freaks out over something as normal as an idol dating? who screams out “p*dophile” at the slightest chance (remember when ksoo had a kiss with a minor in pure love and they kissed through an umbrella and ppl still found a way to make him look bad he even regretted his answers?)

the post also added fics with undeage characters... did you know one of those fics is literally a response to all the fic out there that romanticizes that sort of relationship?   (not linking the fic to protect the author but those who know the title can look it up)

kyungsoo himself, movie directors, fic authors and even simple bloggers like me trust kyungsoo to play a dislikable character precisely because we know he’s not like that and we believe in his potential to portray anything from a loving father to a serial killer.

i’ve always made it clear that the fic i post is not recs, they’re just fics i’ve read (i had the note for years on the fic list before i removed the page cause tumblr glitched and deleted my links and people still didn’t read it back then so meh) nobody really knows how i feel about the fics if they don’t ask me. and nobody knows the intention of the authors either so i hope you can all think before you speak and have the common sense to ask before you jump to conclusions. not because you see a word that means something horrible attached to a fic or anything it means the person is a bad influence and should be avoided at all costs. be grateful that they had the decency to warn so you could avoid it if you don’t want to see it and they didn’t omit it out of fear or ignorance like a lot of r*pe-y and emotionally abusive fic w/o warnings that people share like it’s romance.

wtf this person also sexualized a post where an anon and i talked about kyungsoo having children and glaring at them so they wouldn’t hurt themselves..... jesus have these people not been around children before? they run around naked and knock things off all the damn time, i cant believe they used THIS post sdfggfdsdf idk if i should laugh or cry oh my god.

just because my blog has a url like this it doesn’t mean everything’s meant to be sexual ???? it’s like having a url that says “exosdigbick” and posting pictures of exo’s bicks and then a picture of exo smiling and then a pic of them holding their dogs. it doesn’t have to be related. i didn’t even choose the url myself, it was the other owner of the blog (it’s kinda like saying “food porn") and i kept it after she left because when those who don’t know it see it they can imagine there will be some sexual stuff in here, mostly fic links, anon fantasies and the occassional reblogged nsfw fanart. i only rarely talk about my own sexual fantasies cause it’s awkward. and i’m even afraid to joke because ppl will literally take anything to twist it against you.

im sorry but @ anyone who comes across my blog with preconceived ideas pls leave them at the door and come see for yourself if you want or stay out looking like a fool. this blog isn’t a typical shipper blog or a ficrec blog or wtvr you’re used to seeing around, this is a personal blog dedicated to some underrated concepts (and wtvr else kyungsoo stuff i feel like reblogging at the moment) by an LGBT+ person who’s tired of the world’s bullshit and just wants to do stuff in peace. people misunderstand my sexuality, my gender, my mental illnesses, my everything all the time and that’s mostly from people who’s supposed to know and care about me so some strangers on the internet misunderstanding yet another thing about me is nothing new. callout post? u mean dedicated haters :\ it took me forever to find my own posts smh

[sayaratyriea]

Important questions about your story: 1. What is the unique hook (that the audience cant get anywhere else)? 2. What are the themes of the story? 3. What are the inspiration for the story? How clear are those inspirations in the final product? - an interested reader

omg, intense questions!

First question, right off the bat, that’s my big problem right now. I will not lie to you, there it is, that’s what I can’t do. I’ve rewritten the beginning of book 1 at least 8 to 10 times because I can’t seem to get it right. I guess the “gimmick,” so to speak, is that I’m writing a pretty standard story about Overpowered High Fantasy Royalty but I’m mostly interested in the consequences. I wouldn’t say it’s quite in deconstructive territory but it’s edging towards it! 

So the uniqueness factor comes from: a) the original universe worldbuilding appeal, and b) the exploration of the consequences and responsibilities inherent in a lot of typical fantasy tropes. The heroes are royalty, they’re authority figures, they’re Very Important People and the plot is created and fueled by the ways they fail to handle that power. It’s a plot-heavy story but the plot isn’t about the powers or the authority or the various wars, it’s about the characters first and foremost. I’ve seen a lot of YA writers explore things like this in urban fantasy or “lower” fantasy, but it’s often missing from the tolkein-esque high fantasy stories where I’d expect it to be a major plot point. Also, the story’s about fairies. Nobody ever writes about fairies?? And when they do, it’s always kind of the same dark edgy folklorey “we wanted vampires but the publisher said that wasn’t original enough” Fair Folk schtick. Artemis Fowl is the only other series I’ve ever found that actually had interesting fairies.

Theme-wise, I try not to be really on-the-nose about stuff like that? I find that when I think too hard about imposing specific themes on the story, I either get preachy as hell or I derail entirely. Things work out better when I don’t think too hard and just let the plot happen. If I had to write some out, though:

Nurture over nature, where you come from matters less than who you decide to be

Personal responsibility--you made the mess, you clean it up, and then you move forward, because wallowing helps no one

Everyone has the potential to become a better person, even the people who hurt you. Don’t let them hurt you again, but give them a chance to make things right. 

Change is good.

Abusive adults are gross and you should punch them.

So it’s a lot about personal agency. I think at the core it’s really a coming-of-age story, but it’s masked under ten levels of defiant screaming and flashy magic. Because here at sayaratyriea dot tumblr dot com, that’s just how we roll. The spirit of Feilan is the bigness, everything’s over the top and out of control and I guess the point is that over the top and out of control is okay. And it can be really entertaining and important sometimes. 

And INSPIRATIONS. Hoo boy, where do we start? I think I rambled about this briefly on my story page, but I don’t remember, so here goes. Feilan’s primary inspiration is a recess game I used to play with some close friends of mine in elementary school. Carolinainthemorning is one of those, Melody was the other Big Influence but I don’t remember what the hecky her URL is anymore?? rip. Anyways, we all had self inserts, and we’d play elaborate LARP games on the playground pretending to be some truly overpowered fairy warriors. As it happened, I grew attached, and I didn’t let go, I kept developing my lasery fairy self insert and her universe until I decided I wanted to write some books! 

The recess game itself was inspired by dozens of other stories, pretty much anything my friends and I came into contact with as children found itself wrapped into the world or the characters somehow. The most important ones were Winx Club, Avatar: the Last Airbender, the Redwall books, Eragon, and Percy Jackson and the Olympians? There were a whole lot more that I don’t remember off the top of my head, but you get the idea. Winx Club gave me fairies, Avatar gave me intelligently-written villains, Redwall gave me a ripe field of Medieval Fantasy Tropes ready to be stolen and skewered, and I totally stole Percy Jackson’s cool sword and made it blue. Oops. I’d also count Lord of the Rings as a secondhand influence--I didn’t actually read the books until I’d already finished drafts of books 1 and 2, but LOTR is the ancestor of pretty much every high fantasy story in existence and I do love me some fantasy linguistics. 

Homestuck’s also probably a big one. It didn’t influence the story or the universe, because I didn’t start reading it until most of the way through high school, but it prompted a HUGE shift in how I developed and thought about my characters and universe. Homestuck’s probably the number one reason why I came across those themes and hooks I mentioned earlier, because it got me thinking about how the still-fairly-whimsical characters of Feilan would realistically feel about the crazy plot twists I squeezed them through. Hint: they definitely don’t make it out unharmed. HS also gave me a taste for foreshadowing and character-specific symbolism that I’ve been riding ever since. 

I don’t think most of this stuff would be immediately obvious to a reader who wasn’t aware of it, honestly. Kyrina reads as an Azula expy if you squint really really hard, and the FOE is the father of all stereotypical villains, but I’ve put a lot of effort into building a story that feels like itself more than it resembles its inspirations! I don’t feel I have the authority to make an objective statement re: originality, since it is my story, but I made it a point to avoid writing Every Other Fantasy Novel Ever. 

Sorry this turned into a massive essay, I don’t know what you were expecting, but thanks for asking!! I always love a chance to ramble on. Hopefully by the time I’m finished a draft of the series that I’m satisfied with, I’ll have some better answers for questions like these. For now, I just want to finish the manuscript, and stop getting all tangled up on the beginning. :>
