#ask any author on ao3

[musicprincess1990]

No, but really, I don't think y'all understand the amount of giddy squealing and excited kicking that I do when I get a comment on one of my stories. Even the short ones that just say "Love this!" or "Interesting idea," or hell, even just "LOL!" It literally makes my day. Every time.

I'll probably get a bruise on my arm from where it hit my desk as I violently pumped my fist in triumph. And I ain't even mad. 😂

what r some fics that shaped your psyche? you have so many good recs im currently rereading the to an athlete dying young series

hello! you sent me this ask ages ago and i've been meaning to get to it ever since. (it took me so long to answer that i'm sure you've reread to an athlete dying young by @sonosvegliato many times over by now but hell yeah, what a good one.)

these are a few fics--dc and beyond--that have been in my "in case of emergency" epub folder (aka fics i want to have on hand immediately to reread on bad days, or good days, or even average days) for a few years now. so here is an extremely incomplete list of fics that have shaped my psyche!

for dc specifically--if i tried to list all of them i would just end up repeating my whole fic rec tag, so these are just a few of the ones i read when i was getting into this fandom that stayed with me/made me want to seek out more for these characters:

📸 surveillance series by @smilebackwards

this series located the tim drake center of my brain and lit it up like the vegas strip.

🎒 like a hinge, like a wing by @bonesbuckleup

one of my go-to rereads for pangs; chapter one is a masterclass in tension. also, one of my favorite pre-robin tim pov fics of all time.

💻 nominal by @unpretty

"you don't get it, batman is a comedy" --conversation i've had with multiple people using this fic as my thesis statement.

🌃 the jingle jangle morning by @audreycritter

the moment somebody in my vicinity says "i love dick grayson" i'm on their doorstep with this fic url.

🚉 a meditation on railroading by @eggmacguffin

there's a moment in this fic known among my friends as "baby wipes jason" and it has successfully converted no less than three people to the fandom.

and then for non-dc fic:

🌌 atlas by @megafaunatic (mdzs & tgcf)

did i read this before i had a single clue who the characters were? yes. did i return to it once i did and lose my mind a little? yes. lore etymologyplayground writes that “so so so in love and pining so hard the lines between us are blurring and we haven’t made a move yet but it’s inevitable” flavor with such a deft hand; it is in fact called the lorezone. if any friends-to-lovers pining i write can achieve even 50% of a lorezone i will have done my job.

🪿 If they caught you by @feyburner (tgcf)

i go back to this when i think about setup and payoff, when i think about subtle misdirects, when i think about the monumental task of creating whole compelling new characters in 6k words.

🧪 away childish things by lettered (hp)

one of the best de-aging trope stories i've ever read; i think of this when i want to take a trope to its maximum potential and then go: no wait, there's even more.

(another fav de-aging fic is grow by @cafecliche; shorter plot but no less pangs 🌱)

🏡 in defiance of all geometry by @idiopath-fic-smile (les mis)

a fic that's a perfect reread when i need something cozy and full of character, and a perfect touchstone when i'm pondering something where the world may not hang in the balance but the stakes still matter.

📔 The Absolutely True Story of the Yiling Patriarch: A Manifesto in Many Parts by aubreyli (cql/mdzs)

paragon of metahumor, basically. i think of this when i want to write something that's funny in both text and form.

🍚 and his wanting grows teeth by @yuebings (cql/mdzs)

masterclass in pangy backstory reveal; the way the first scene loops back around to punch you in the gut long after you've forgotten it will forever be seared into my brain.

also, most answers on this list fit the bill!

(apologies again that this answer is so belated; it took me ages to write up partially because i kept stopping to reread these fics every time i tried.)

#also sorry for not having any consistent formatting in my reclists #i tagged authors whose tumblrs i know/are linked to ao3! happy to remove the tag if anyone prefers #fic rec #asks #batfam

[daydreamerwonderkid]

"Another AO3 author with too much time on his hands"

Where the fics at?

#dreamer ask #anon ask #claims to be a fic author #doesnt post any fics #ao3 #ao3 author #ao3 memes #anon is quoting my bio fyi

[mazzystar24]

I totally get I just finished my exam week (I had to do a math test at 8am Sat😭). Wish you luck tho!

Also do you have any good buddies fics? Destiel too?

Math test at 8am is BRUTAL

Thank you I will definitely need it😭😭

Unfortunately I only have buddie fics to offer😔:

(Warning I do like a fair amount of angst)

Right where you left me - by hyacinthusbloom ( @thebloomingheather on here) - when I say I might be as big a fan of this fic as I am of the show I MEAN IT, you do not even understand how much I love this fic or how obsessed I am with it, I have reread it so many times despite it still being in progress that I think I may genuinely qualify it as addictive, me and @estheticpotaeto legit wait for updates like a dog at the author’s door istg, like everything about this fic is flawless and written with so much love and emotion and the way the writer captures the effects of trauma is just amazing because it’s so rare to find this level of diving into ptsd and the more uncomfortable aspects of it that are more taboo or less understandable to people, like I can yap for an hour about this fic but I’ll just say READ IT

Any fic by daisies_and_briars ( @cal-daisies-and-briars on here) but one of my favourites of his is Both blade and branch and muscle memory and four can keep a secret and appetency and the two she’s writing right now (change the prophecy and steal my sunshine) -wow at that point I should’ve left it as any fic because that’s a lot of favourites😭😭

Any fic by @loserdiaz plus with them you get enough lighthearted fics to even out the angst

Ooo I’m not sure what their username on here is but lizzybizzyzz is also another writer who I just love their fics

Fractals by hobbitprincess - one of those fics that make you squeak at how much love these fictional characters have for each other

Beneath my mother tongue by archerincombat - the angst the writing the way they hit every single emotional beat? Amazing

Anything by this_is_moony_lovegood

Leave the light on (I’ll be coming home) by HMSLusitania - the presumed dead Eddie fic of your dreams, a constant reread for me it’s just 👌

Anchored by adorkable_buddie - sorry Chris you gotta be injured sometimes just for us to get our buddie dreams hope you understand and we appreciate your sacrifice 😔🫶

empty, broken, lonely, hoping by daniweb - when I tell you I love the presumed dead trope you best believe I’m telling the truth because the ANGST?? Yes please, LISTEN it’s the closest you can get to the emotional beats of killing off a character without ever killing them off because you love them and happy endings too much so TIM MINEAR TAKE NOTES I KNOW YOU SAID YOU LOVE THEM TOO MUCH TO KILL THEM, anyways back to to the point this fic again is just flawless execution by the writer like absolutely love it

every time we stop talking (the universe starts screaming) by withmeornotatall - emotional destruction and I absolutely love it, divorce era 2.0 and it HITS

Home is where it hurts- by rileyblue2001 - can you tell I hate the Buckley parents because I HATE the Buckley parents

The one with the return of the sex addiction by buddiefication (pumpkincreamcoldbrew) - I’ve reccomended so much angst so have a funny little light hearted buddie fic with the father bobby vibes we all love❤️❤️

Okay back to the angst tho 😭😭- out of ashes by Ashavahishta - AHHHHHHH THIS FIC JUST AHHHHH STOP THE WAY I WOULD DIE FOR A FOLLOW UP FIC TO THIS AHHHH I LOVE IT SM AND ITS LEGIT A ONE SHOT I CRIED SO HARD

Falling Slowly; Sing Your Melody (I’ll Sing It Loud) by Princessfbi ( @princessfbi on here who I also love sm of their fics so highly suggest just going on their page and looking through all the fics) - absolutely love it, legit gave me brain rot and got me obsessed for a GOOD while

I'm comin' back, don't let me go by wikiangela ( @wikiangela on here also love love their fics again so check them out but this one is probably my favourite of theirs)

Okay this is looking more and more like a uni reading list so I’m gonna shut up now but I hope you enjoy these fics and that a few of them emotionally damage you like they did me because I love to spread the joy (see: pain and suffering) 🫶🫶

[melit0n]

From a fic writer, please don't say 'I wish there was a second part to this!' or 'part 2?' to writers, like, ever, because it is unfortunately not the compliment you think it is.

Don't get me wrong, I love every person who's taken the time to comment and make sure I reply to them, but it always brings me down a bit to see people asking for a second part, especially if it is quite clearly stated as a oneshot. It's half of 'oh hey! They think my writing is good and want more of it :D', so I recommend the other stuff I have on my page, and half 'They just want more.' because, when it comes to those comments, there is nothing else but asking for more.

In a general sense, the author has put time and effort into making that fic//oneshot happen! Might've been inspired by a song and written out in two days, or it could've been intractably planned over weeks! It is still time and effort and self indulgence! Don't ask for more when there is obviously nothing else planned.

I think, nowadays, even with fic reading, it's become a matter of quantity; basing whether to read a fic off of kudos:reads ratio, only being able to read fics over 50k words and not accepting any less etc. People also have seemed to forgotten that fic writers are apart of fandom as well; they aren't influencers farming out massive fics every two months, and, when it comes to a oneshot, quite possibly want to leave it as that. A oneshot.

So, instead of asking for more, maybe compliment what is there! Talk about a favourite line or scene, or give some constructive criticism if the author allows it. Fill your belly on the food served and don't think of the extra plate you could have.

#hoping this doesn't come off as too mean! #like when I first started uploading oneshots again the main amount of comments that I got was 'will there be a part 2??' #and is still the majority of comments I get #which I love! I'll still reply and rec some of my other fics! any sort of interaction in this day and age is taken gladly #but it just makes me feel like my work wasn't enough in that sense? #like I know it's only short (lets say 3.5k) but it's still something I indulged in and enjoyed writing #but apprently that wasn't good enough #I think (personally) it's because I like to leave my one-shots open ended so maybe that just makes readers want to know what could happen - #next and ask for it? idk #maybe this is just a pet peeve of mine #mel's thoughts #mel's rambles #ao3 author #ao3 #fic writer #fic writing #fan fiction #fan fic writing #fan fic stuff #quotev

[nettlestingsoup]

hi morgan, i hope you're doing well! 1, 3, 4, 12, 15, 19, 24 and 30 for the fic asks? <3

this is such a hefty amount of questions?? i'm glad i've got a good playlist on haha this might take me a while. 15 and 19 i've answered here for @telomirage.

1: “Alright,” he says eventually, and Minho knows he understands. “It can just be ours.” i promise you this HITS in context. it's about loving someone so much you don't know how to separate yourself from them anymore. it's about chan feeling minho's feeling and minho refusing to admit that they're his. they're being unhealthy <3

3: with the vampire au, very sad that the first draft is almost done! i've had so much genuine fun writing something so bloody and obsessive and weird, and as sad as i am that it's ending, i'm looking forward to refining it and making it bloodier and more obsessive and weirder. with the red thread au, i feel honestly like i'm solving a puzzle box to make it make sense.

4: i was thinking again about the jeongchan steampunk au today, and the fact that i never got around to writing it! chan is a professor at a clockwork academy and jeongin is a pupil he takes on in secret (jeongin can't afford the fees but he has talent) and ends up falling in love with. it was inspired by taylor swift's illicit affairs and i keep meaning to revisit it.

12: i'm really into tragedy right now? not necessarily writing or reading it but just... vibing with it. things could never have been different, you know? no matter how the story was told, things could never have been different. there's a bit of that in the minchanjin that's next on my list. no matter what, all three of them would always make the choices that they make.

24: i watch cool shows/read cool books to recharge, and try to travel to spend time with my friends! sometimes all i need is inspiration from a story someone else wrote, a change of scenery, or good company.

30: i'm incredibly proud of protect me from the dark outside (despite what hides within), my southern gothic minbin fic! i absolutely loved how the vibe of it turned out and how the relationship developed alongside the plot. it was worth all the time i spent on it.

thank you for these!! 12 really made me think haha <3

#hadestown has influenced me ok #orpheus would always look back because he loves eurydice so much!!! #the minchanjin is very much 'these people love each other enough that they would always make the choices they made' #chan would always choose to bring hyunjin back from the dead #minho would always agree to help #hyunjin would always agree to live for them in the end #even if the world falls apart around them #they would never make any other choice #also damn i'm going to reread my notes on the jeongchan #ao3 author #asks #fanfic

[breezydaysoflife]

For the ask game!! 1, 4, 5, 7, 14, 18, 24! (I know it’s a lot lol sorry I couldn’t choose.) Also I will absolutely tag you in stuff!

If you ever want tumblr advice feel free to ask, I’ve been here for three or four years which seems short honestly to me LMAO

A lot is good! I like a lot! It's an excuse to post, and a lot of these really made me think lol

1. when did you first watch/discover good omens, and how did you find out about it?

I started watching somewhere last year, I think in late summer/early fall. As for why? My boyfriend! We're both neurodivergent, and if you think my Good Omens hyperfix is bad, his is worse. I finally let him bully me into watching it and it became a hyperfix that eventually evolved into a SpIn.

4. what is (if you read) your favorite good omens longfic?

Ok, I considered a little white lie here, but I'll be honest; it's you'll never be lonely (you're my only one) by ladydragona and SylWritesStuff. Omegaverse has always fascinated and comforted me, and this is probably one of the best I have read in any fandom, and definitely the best out of Good Omens. I love the ineffables' relationship in it and Warlock's characterization. I could rattle on abt this fic for paragraphs upon paragraphs but I'm not gonna do that to save everyone's sanity lol

5. what is (if you read) your favorite good omens one-shot?

Ok this one was hard because I read far more one-shots then longfics but after digging through my bookmarks, ultimately, it's i am just the (new invention) by littlesnowpea. It's cracky, it's sweet, Crowley is oblivious and Aziraphale's a bastard. I clocked him from the very beginning so the "YouTube comments" were and still are some of the funniest bits of any fanfiction I've read

7. what is your favorite underappreciated quote?

Help my memory is dying. Uh. I do not know that many quotes so it's probably not underappreciated but maybe one would be Crowley's "Lovely knowing you all. May we meet on a better occasion." From the body swap. It kinda gets drowned out by Gabriel's infamous line directly after but it always sends chills down my spine. Crowley's got Aziraphale down to such a science that he knows, without a doubt, that even when being faced by death, he'd fawn. He'd be polite. It's powerful.

14. what is your favorite good omens-coded song?

Take Me To Church, 100%. No questions asked.

18. what is your favorite moment through history, and why?

It's a basic bitch answer and I know it's a basic bitch answer but it's the 1941 church scene, ok? Nothing can beat it for me.

24. what's a theory for season 3 that you NEED to be included?

Crowley's gonna be mean. Like. Really mean. And while I know we all want and need(heh) them to get their happy ending, it's not gonna be right away. I want to see that anger, that frustration, that pain. I also want Aziraphale to snap at some point. I want them to know just how much they've hurt each other so they can actually work on fixing it.

#good omens #ask game #ao3 author #if you want more thoughts on any of these #i will give them #good omens is my special interest pls

tfw one of your fav fics got added to a private/unrevealed collection so you can't view it anymore and you forgot to download it so you might never get to reread it again :(((

#eliot posts #why would you do that instead of orphaning it or making it anonymous?????? #ughhh i always forget to download fics #at least it was just privated and not deleted so it might come back? #part of me wonders if it was actually an accident cuz sometimes how collections like that work can be confusing to authors #and i don't see the logic as to why someone would do that on purpose? #i wish i could ask why to get my curiosity satiated at least even if they don't end up making the fic public again #but i can't do that without like. commenting about it on one of their other fics. in a completely different fandom #and i'm not gonna do that cuz i reckon it'd just make the author real uncomfortable and i don't wanna do that #but like. it is gnawing at me nonetheless. #it appears to have only been privated for a week or two (after being available for several months prior) #so like hope is still very much there of it coming back #i once had a fic get straightup Deleted for months and the author disappear without a trace only for it to get reuploaded out of the blue #but yeah. reminder to dowload your fav fics! ao3 is not as permanent as you may think #god the fic was just. SUCH a good take on going no contact with an abusive parent and it delighted me to read #actually. i know it's a longshot but if any of my followers fastidiously download fics #do any of you have a copy of a toh fic called ''out of the blue'' abt amity and her family? #i would give you my firstborn for it #which means nothing considering i am not having any biological children but you know

[sushisocks]

11 for the ask thing ^_^

Eeeheheheh!!!

From the Get to know your fic writer list!

11. Link your three favorite fics right now

Ohkay, oh my god, I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume these aren't my own fics bcz besides the ones I wrote back in like 2018, I only have 3 out, and one isn't even finished jnbhvghbjbh

I'm also gonna limit myself to RDR2 ones bcz how many of yall are here for Drarry and Klance fic recs these days anyway?? I thought so, lmao, SO

1) OBVIOUSLY I have to start out with Faithless, by my dear friend Necromantic AKA @absolutedisaster69 !!! RDR2, Charthur, Unreliable Narrator, still ongoing, and REALLY FUCKED UP SO FAR, I am simply in LOVE with it okay. If you're looking for a completely different take on Charthur, and the VDL gang as a whole, this is IT!! AND, lol, if you look through the comment section of that fic you WILL find me in there analysing the shit out of nearly every chapter, it's WILD and I'm WILDIN'!!

2) Is one I genuinely think needs more attention -- Burn Like Whiskey Flames by Lysandra_Lewis AKA @ithinkthiswasabadidea is still my FAVORITE MacSummers fic to date. Imagine me, STARVED for content, going into the Sean/Lenny tag only to find this TREASURE of a fic buried among fics that only really list them as a sidepair. It is funny, and wholesome, and so sweet it will rot your TEETH out. It's Francesca's only RDR2 fic and it is a GIFT to the fandom, okay, and thusly SEVERELY underappreciated. When Sean comes into the lodge and starts "wooing" Lenny? Bro I've read this fic so many times and I am STILL giggling and blushing EVERY TIME!!!! They are SO dumb, and I'm genuinely obsessed with them and this fic okay!!!!

3) I mean, come on, we've all read Lost Country by iridian(ryehouses here on tumblr), right? If you haven't, it's Charthur, and don't be fooled by the coffee shop au tag because there is SO much more to this fic. It's been a while since my last readthrough of it, and I'm nearing a point where I'll want to reread again for sure, but I'll leave you with my bookmark comment to give you an idea of how I feel about this fic: "this fic changed me irrevocably. i was and am obsessed with everything about this fic. i listened to the playlist for months. certain songs still make me go feral. ill never forget how this fic made me feel." DEFINITE recommend, always!!

(Honorary mention to Strange Visitor by Necro, which I was very autistic about in its final months of posting, and is where I decided I wanted to be his friend!! One year later and I am a pest in his DMs all the time <3)

I know this just said to list them, but who in their right mind doesn't GRAB at the chance to gush about their favorite fics whenever they can? Give me a break, and go read these fantastic fics if you haven't already!!!

#i am taking jovier fic recommendations BTW if anyone out there in the void has any good ones #(and willscuella tbh it's been a while since ive been in that tag on Ao3 since im so busy writing them myself lmaaaooo) #charthur #macsummers #rdr2 fanfic #fanfic recommendation #teki talks #ALSO aren't I just the luckiest to be mutuals/friends with the authors of some of my favorite RDR2 fics?? i live a truly blessed life #ask games #asks #fic asks #ficposting

Asking this as a British person BUT IS ASHLYN BRITSH?? If so I feel like in traditional 2010’s style the kids would constantly make the bohtle of wahter jokes and the like

Oh, they most definitely would! Probably with a few POH-TTAHs sprinkled in.

Honestly, Ashlyn's nationality isn't something I've given much thought to. Originally, in the very very early and unpublished version of this story, she was a self-insert (Oh the cringy shame! but I was in middle school... so valid excuse?) Then I re-discovered my old writing when I was looking for inspiration and decided to fix it up, create a proper plot, and post it. Part of that transition was remaking Ashlyn into a Y/N type character, where I kept the name only because I find Y/N very jarring, instead of purely a mask for my own individual voice.

She is no longer a mini-me, my child is complete with her own virtues and vices that have nothing to do with my previous 11-year-old brain but there are definitely some traces of my voice still left in her. Mostly in her creative swearing.

As the fic has developed, she's definitely grown into her own fully actualized character, and I am *this close* to removing the reader insert tag altogether. The only thing stopping me is that, other than her very striking personality, Ashlyn Moore is still pretty vague.

This makes sense because the story focuses on her transition and the after-effects of dimension hopping, but that means that other details are lost because they aren't as narratively important.

I think I'll continue to leave most of her background up to the reader's interpretation. But, considering the fact you lovable internet stalkers have sussed out that I'm British, her sharing some elements of that would fit with the origins of her character.

But yeah, I feel like Vince would have made a water bottle comment when they first met.

And then Ashlyn would have chucked the bottle at him.

#ao3 author #ao3 #tfp #transformers prime #aligned continuity #of timelines and trolleys #ashlyn moore (oc) #writing methods #character creation #I have grown as a writer #and the ocs have grown with me #Does any one else get weird looks when they order coffee? #I cannot pronounce any of these words in a way that is understandable #the barista's look when I ask for half 'n half makes me die inside a little #accents #its cool until you get social anxiety #or when it's just that ONE WORD that refuses to be anything but the mother tongue #happy to meet another Brit #Hello Anon

Any recommendations on some good 5sos fics/one shots? I’ve been struggling to find new works that are good.

I don't have much to point you to in the land of x reader fic (the writers I'm familiar with seem to largely be on hiatus) but if you're interested in consistently active and consistently brilliant slash authors, in my mind you can never go wrong with the works of @burstingsunrise (galacticsugar on ao3) or @daydadahlias (cornflowerblue on ao3) 💙

#molly has a Cake fic for any vibe you could possibly want and they are all fire like you literally cannot miss #and Jess's masterlist contains multitudes #like you got your crack your angst your character studies your pwp - sometimes all in one fic #🤌🏻 again you cannot miss 🤌🏻 #i know I'm late to this ask so I'm not the first to rec these to you lol I'm sorry!! #it's true tho it's hard to find new stuff these days #I rely mostly on the recs of others or the same authors i trust tbh #it's hard to find stuff on Tumblr bc the tags are cluttered or broken and ofc the reblog issue #and i love ao3 but if you're looking for x reader that is still really not the place to find it #hopefully once the band picks back up so will the fics!! 💙 #ask #anon #fic recs

[backslashdelta]

was acitw ever finished

Unfortunately it was not 😭

I will stay though, I still consider it a must-read even with it's unfinished status. I also personally do think that where it stops is pretty good in terms of endings - there's no major cliff hanger or anything. Obviously not all the loose ends are tied up, but it could be a lot worse.

There are also some fan sequels that pick up where it left off! They're not written by the original author, but if you want an ending and aren't opposed to reading another author's interpretation, that's an option.

#also if you find it on AO3 - that's not everything that exists #there are some chapters that the author posted only on LJ and not on AO3 #though sometime in the last year some other person uploaded those missing chapters to AO3 as a separate fic #but either way you need to go somewhere other than just the original AO3 fic to get everything that was posted by the original author #there are also some one-shots in the verse of that interests you #if you have any specific questions lmk and I'm happy to answer them and help you! #would also love to hear your thoughts if you read it #and if you've already read it and are just here desperately hoping there's an ending - I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news #but also still would love to hear your thoughts on it lol #ask #mine #takemyhcnd #glee #kurtbastian #kurt hummel #sebastian smythe #fanfiction #acitw

I was drawing Regimen Tom with his gas mask on, and i searched up "gas masks" And found out theres lots of types, what type of mask was tom wearing?

(Sorry if you've already explained this)

👀👀👀👀👀👀👀You were drawing who now?👀👀👀👀👀👀

👁👄👁

May I perceive it???

And no worries! I didnt explain what mask he wears. Its a full face gas mask. In my head it’s either an

Avon FM50

or a MIRA CM-7M

Though tbh, for details like this, I really don’t mind if people have different interpretations. I kept it vague for a reason, but since you asked for something more tangible, this is my take.

#asks #anonymous #regimen ao3 #details I keep vague are up to reader interpretation #so even if I give these examples #or draw things/people from the fic #they aren’t OFFICIAL in any way #its just how I see it and despite being the author its not gospel #if you have a diff take go for it!

Hi!! I love it when you pop up in my life (timeline, lol).

Would you like to share three current thoughts you have about life in general?

Three thoughts about anything Star Wars related?

And any piece of fanart or fanfic that has lingered in your mind for ages after you first saw it? 😘

Awe well thank you! Your excitement is always fun to see, I think it's safe to say you've given some fresh life to the tcw/tbb fandoms.

Hmm. 3 thoughts about life...

I recently finished watching Midnight Mass and that got me thinking lots about the cult I was born into-what that did to me and where I am now. Also how bad people twist religious texts for their own benefit and how good believers tend to stay quiet until it's too late because of the culture.

No one's asked and I hate the whole "coming out" thing, but I learned about histrigender recently and feel in love with the term. Nonbinary and agender are sufficient to use with friends and family, but the most important person in my life knows what this term means and I'm happy with that.

Kinda lighthearted compared to the last two-but god I miss movies/tv shows that were willing to chance the viewer not following the story or noticing everything. I loved that Blackout was better the second, third time I watched it. I loved that I picked up on background dialogue that gave me exposition that I missed first time around.

Now 3 thoughts about Star Wars Oft. That's a dangerous game.

This might be controversial, but I'm not the kind of person to like every single clone. They are supposed to all have unique personalities (tcw couldn't fully flesh out every single clone so many of them feel underdeveloped imo) which means that there are clones that I don't care much for. I have my favorites, those I have noteworthy appreciation for, and then clones I don't think anything of. (go on and try to guess my fave I bet its impossiblleeeee xD)

Crosshair's story is meaningful to me because of my background in a cult. I probably think more in depth about his story than was originally intended to come through lol. The parallels though.. Especially a cult preying on insecurity? On loneliness, on the concept of worthiness?

Old republic star wars is the best star wars timeline opps sorry it's just too damn cool. (I like the space wizards)

when i mention that i have the most individual MiA fics out of any author on AO3 i am not bragging. mostly i am sad about this. fic scene is very small, total of ~200 works in all languages

i am also always noting that the characters i'm likely to read/write about aren't the same ones as the characters most of the rest of the already-small fic reader and writer scene for The Hole Show is likely to read/write about. so the following results aren't news to me

but i hadn't thought to actually compare character tags for the whole fandom to character tags for my work, and the sheer disparity between 'tags of the fandom' and 'tags of the author who wrote the most individual fics in that fandom' is...funny lol. (left: MiA tag as a whole's most tagged characters; right: ebilfic's most tagged characters

#orphan hole tag #ebil writes #Now You See Why I Made Ye Olde Ganja Server. #also if this wasn't already clear from the numbers: #belaf and vueko would not actually place in the top ten characters if not for my fics #i checked what happens if you remove them and the next most tagged characters are Marulk and Original Character #a little surprised Faputa doesn't place in that situation? i was hoping she would #so i could be like. aww she took their place they'd be happy to give their places up for her #like this is interesting because faputa is a very popular character in fanart. but not for fic i guess #anyway whenever i reproach myself with 'don't complain that characters you like don't have more content -- make the content' #i'm like. well actually wait. i am Very Much already Making the Content to the tune of 'most prolific by fic count AO3 author in the fandom #and i'm not out here being a dick in any way to people who only like the other characters so it's fine. :v #rel.: i have a fear if i hosted an AO3 exchange it'd maybe just result in 'two thirds is people asking for and receiving Weird Rabbit Smut #( a decent amount of Nanachi's tag is Weird Rabbit Smut) #which i dont...uh...have any wish for Effort Put in By Me to facilitate. and hosting an exchange certainly involves Putting Effort. #it could perhaps be an exchange themed/centered on secondary characters or adult characters or season two characters or something
