“Rosie Cotton dancing,” Sam said, “and Pippin and Merry stealing the fireworks early. And you-” his voice died in his throat. He could feel Frodo’s eyes on him, but Sam kept his gaze steady on the far-off horizon. Somewhere, he hoped, the armies of Rohan and Gondor and all the kingdoms of men were gathered. He hoped that he and Frodo hadn’t been too late. Sam hoped a lot of useless things. “Your laughter, Mister Frodo.” Sam’s voice was rough from smoke and the building tears in the back of his throat. He closed his eyes, and tried to remember the sound of Frodo’s laugh. The shape of his smile- how it formed dimples in his cheeks and made his eyes crinkle up into little crescents. It had been so long, the memories felt faint and dreamy, like something Sam had imagined long ago. Once, a lifetime past, Frodo’s smile was Sam’s favorite thing in the widest world. More beautiful than any flower he could grow in the garden, brighter than any of Gandalf’s fireworks cracking open in the sky. “I loved to hear you laugh, sir,” Sam whispered, and he felt a tear trace down his filthy cheek.

oh please 🍓 !!

Sav!

You're gonna get tired of hearing this but your excitement and passion for your writing inspires me every time I see you talking about your latest wip. Your writing is amazing, I continue to think about some of the lines from slasherverse. (Currently doing a badkids d20 rewatch do not be surprised if you see me rocking through your d20 works). Your media tastes are impeccable, more powerful than any marketing team if I see you're watching something I bump it up my list of things to check out cause I know it's gonna be top tier. Your taste in general is absolutely top notch, every time I see you on my dash it makes my day a little brighter!

And this is more a comment, that sagey color you always use for your icons has become so ingrained in my brain with you that every time I see it irl I think of you

mutuals send me a 🍓 and I'll compliment you

[gilears]

for you my darling jamie: 3, 9, 19, 21, 22 (👀), 28, 29, and 33!! <3

THANK U MY DARLING SAV!!!!!!

3. How would you describe your writing style?

all over the place tbh!!!!!! i feel like i can very much be a writing style chameleon based on what the vibe of a piece needs, but i def gravitate to either silly goofy writing with lots of unnecessary asides (like lola fic or my reddie fake married disaster fic) OR like. insane ominous overly verbose dread hours (like o&t<3)

9. Thoughts on cliffhangers.

harrowing!!!!! what if the author never updates again???? i dont ever post chapter fics until ive finished or almost finished the entire thing for this reason, i dont want anyone to hurt the way ive been hurt

19. Share a snippet from a wip without giving any context for it.

“Ah, it’s rather smoky—Kristen, did you make cheese crackers? Is that why you—” He cuts himself off, looking genuinely touched at the idea that Kristen would go out of her way to make him his favourite snack, just the way he likes it (burnt).

She’s not sure how she feels about crushing the hopes of a man who’s had his hopes crushed so many times before, so she decides to just rip off the bandaid. “No, your kitchen’s on fire.”

Gilear’s eyes widen, and he takes one more step out of the hallway to where he can see the kitchen, the yells, “Ahhhh! My kitchen is on fire!”

“Great listening skills,” Riz mutters under his breath.

21. Can you accurately predict how long your fics are going to be? If you can, what’s your secret?

yeah for the most part i can! ive been writing fic for 8 years now (omg) so ive kinda just developed a sense for how long a particular idea will take me. i think it helps a lot that im a pretty heavy outliner, and i typically dont start writing something unless ive got most of the plot figured out

but whenever im wrong about a wc its always that i end up being way over. i have cant shut up disease and its terminal

22. What is it about watching the same two idiots falling in love over and over again?

djkglhbsdlj;ghsdfg woowwww i wonder what ship that eyes emoji is for sav!!!! tbh idk if i have a solid answer for this question! sometimes a dynamic just Grips you and youre like holy shit i have to read and think about these people interacting for the next 5-10 business days straight. when i figure it out ill let you know

28. Any writing advice that works for you and you feel like sharing?

yes! i think you should write whatever makes you happy to write because that will make you love writing more, which will make you write more, which will make you be a better writer. early 2021 i decided i wanted to write more stupid goofy shit and i had SUCH a blast writing it it made me wanna write more stupid goofy shit and i had so much fun writing stupid goofy shit i stopped caring about what would get the most hits/kudos/attention/whatever

also i think the secret to not giving a shit is having friends that are also writers. all my closest friends in fandom have been writers and when u can have people to go to who will Get and celebrate your work no matter what? game changer!!!!! opens up a whole world of possibilities like, "hey, what if i wrote this niche rarepair fic with my friend but its in second person and also the ship only has like 2 fics in their tag and also what if we wrote it in one night?" and then u have SO much doing it and dont even bother to check stats bc u already feel so fulfilled for having created it!!!! and also u and ur friend are so much closer now for it!!!

tldr put on some fun music, do a little dance, tell urself "who give a shit" and write whatever the fuck makes u happy

29. What’s the hardest thing about writing?

writing 💔

33. Give your writing a compliment.

aw this one is cute. mmmm i think im pretty good at capturing specific character voices/cadences/vocabulary in dialogue!!! 🥰

send a number for fic writer asks!

1, 6 (ur jonmartin ghost fic which i still think about so often always), 8, 40, 45, and 49 for the fic writers asks !!! <333 xoxoxoxo hope you're doing well ari dear <3

thank you sav!!!! hope you're doing well as well <3

1. What fic of yours would you recommend to someone who had never read any of your work? (In other words, what do you think is the best introduction to your fics?)

Hmmmm I think it depends on the fandom but I'd recommend the stars are out (but he’s burning brighter) bc it's short and a pretty good representation of my writing style :-)

6. What’s one fact about the universe of [ghost fic] that you didn’t get a chance to mention in the fic itself?

I can't remember what role tim had in this au but I do remember that there was one. Wish I'd gotten a chance to put him in this au :(

8. What song would make a great fic (to either write or read)?

I swear to god some day I am going to write a trable fic inspired by the song not a lot, just forever by adrienne lenker. gotta wait until the stars align but it IS outlined and it WILL happen. mark my worms etc.

40. Do you tend to reread fics or are you a one-and-done kind of person?

oh I reread fics ALL the time. especially old shield fics <3

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

Dialogue and characterization!!! And also pacing. And also also writing longer fics.

49. What are you currently working on? Share a few lines if you’re up for it!

trable fic <3 it's currently disrupting my brain like a swarm of very sad bees but it should be done relatively soon. here's my favorite line from it so far:

Gable’s eyes are locked on his. William’s heart is beating very fast. He wants them to kill him. He wants them to loot his corpse. He wants them to cut his heart out and eat it. He wants quite a lot of things.

fic questions!!
