9, 17 and 24 for latest fic writing ask game 😍

Start to finish, how long did it take you to write the last fic you posted?

Pretty sure the last thing I shared was one of my drabbles. Those take me, on average, 6-11 minutes to complete when I'm focused.

Talk about your writing and editing process

Well first I go to the mind cinema, have a seat, let it all play out, watch and take notes alongside it. Sometimes I listen to music too. Just really taking in the vibes and getting as much info written down as I can. And after that - or usually later - I write it all down. Add some stuff, go through things mentally again. Level of details vary between projects. Once I'm done, I put the piece aside and let it rest for a while, then I come back for editing. The break in-between is important for a fresh perspective. Thankfully I write a bit slower in favor of being careful with everything the first time around so with shorter pieces especially I end up having to do very few edits.

Sometimes I wonder what I could achieve if I bothered to edit properly

How do you recharge when you’re not feeling creative?

Hmmm... I never feel not creative in the sense that I don't have ideas or anything to talk or think about. What does happen is that I don't feel like writing as much on some days which often leads to me writing anyway, just shorter stuff/not as much. When I give myself a break I do so by sleeping, listening to music and watching videos, current faves are space and science, speedrunning and Ace Attorney.

Cobert (of course! lol) & hold/ held for the drabble challenge please :)

Hold

Even though the first day of their journey to France was nearly over, they still had a bulk of the way in front of them. They had just boarded the next train, and for the first time since they left Downton, exhaustion seemed to overtake Cora. Robert sat beside her and felt her head roll onto his shoulder. She jerked when her head sunk too low. Robert moved to put his arm around her and hold her securely through the nap she needed.

"This will be a great holiday for us," he whispered into her hair.

Cora had dozed off.

30. Name an album you really love that you haven’t listened to in awhile

Through the Trees by The Handsome Family. It's such a beautiful album but I have a hard time listening to it these days.

33. Do you wear a lot of band t-shirts? if so, do you like it when strangers comment on them?

YES, my wardrobe is honestly 75% band shirts, 20%, horror shirts, 5% other stuff. I do like it when strangers comment on them, it makes my day honestly! I mostly get comments on the metal t-shirts and my battle jacket (numerous times someone has honked their horn to get my attention while driving just to flash me the horns and nod in approval 💀) but I've also gotten a lot of comments on my Skinny Puppy shirt because Skinny Puppy fans are usually ecstatic to find a fellow fan. (I think my favorite though was when an older guy was like "Skinny Puppy? I haven't heard that name since the 80s!!" LOL)

if the fic writer ask game still relevant, then: 3, 10, and 15!

Of course!

What’s your favorite fic that you’ve written?

After all this time it's still Send Your Child Unto Me. I don't even think it's close to my best writing, as it's eleven years old, but I'm still so proud of this fic. It was the first fic that I delved into some deeplore for and I loved writing little easter eggs into the plot.

Is there a fic that got a different response than you were expecting?

Account of a Roman Citizen has gotten a lot more attention than I expected for a fic marked "original work". It's historical RPF and extremely niche, yet it has a decent number of hits and kudos. I just didn't expect anyone to read it, especially since I didn't really promote it or anything.

How do you come up with titles for your fics/chapters?

Usually it's be an image that's significant to the fic. Recent examples are Steam (set in an onsen), Three Rounds (about boxing), Office with a View (about getting fucked against a window in an office). Sometimes I'll use a line of poetry (Three in One Cup) or song lyrics (So Innocent Were The Days) that are relevant to the fic's themes.

#lowkey i'm not confident about titles but i try #and i've been challenging myself to title chapters lately too tho theyre usually song titles lol #thanks for the ask bestie <3

[grassbreads]

do you have a non-temperature related long-sleeve/short sleeve preference?

I'm such a short sleeves girl. I just don't wear long sleeves unless it's a sweater.

Even with my button-ups for work, I just roll the sleeves up :p

♫ neymessi

♫ kunessi

i had to send 2 i just know your opinion would be perfect i couldn’t miss out <33

well, well, well bestie! double trouble haha

for the neymessi, since i've already answered before and did share my playlist for them, i'm going to pick a song for a particular era. so let's get a bit angsty 😭 "flaco" by mon laferte. i think it could describe leo's feelings when ney left barca somehow:

as for kunessi, i see their relationship as something pure and young. they make me think about promises to keep for life, and all that cute stuff of "first love" that we already know. so, i'd say "ojitos caramelo" by gala nell describe them very well:

This post is brought to you by the Sky Airlines phone line that has had me on hold for over an hour (though to be fair, that's just what happens when over a day of flights are cancelled):

Alastair was sweating. It took him hours to fall asleep to be woken by nightmares. In the darkness, he could see them: the people he’d abandoned. Charles. Coward, he said. He was angry. His father. A ghost, abandoned by his son at the moment he needed him most. Thomas. He was silent, but there was sadness in his eyes. The latest letter was on Alastair’s desk. His letters weren’t like Charles’, frequent and demanding. They were gentle, raw, honest. But Thomas would grow tired of him. So Alastair wrote. Dear Thomas, It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero.

the last time & better man | begin again

send me a TS song and I'll write a drabble!

6 + 40

6. What are their perks?

I'm not gonna list all of em, but some noteworthy ones are: Confirmed Bachelor and Lady Killer (gotta be bisexual of course), Cannibal (because of course), Animal Friend, Night Person, Terrifying Presence, Khan Trick and Legion Assault (from his time training with both factions).

40. In conversation, are they kind? gentle? sarcastic? rude? do they speak warmly and openly with people, or are they more guarded? do they talk a lot?

Rowan has pretty good people skills from his time negotiating drug deals and running packages as a courier, he's pretty good at gauging what others want to hear or how to interact with them but he has to want something that they have/want a certain outcome from the interaction. When he's being himself he tends to be a bit more blunt and unintentionally nosy, he's very curious about the people he meets on his travels but he's more guarded when speaking about himself. He prefers to listen, but if someone spends enough time around him he'll eventually start opening up and sharing his own stories as well.

2, 7, 13, 14 for whoever you want!

Answering for SCP-049 since he's my newest f/o and I'm thinking about him a lot (◡ ‿ ◡ ✿)

2) What kind of outfit would your f/o pick for you, if they had to?

Something adjacent to the time period that he originates from, but functional and comfortable rather than the typical gaudy renaissance garb. Something pretty similar to what he himself wears, but maybe a bit more lightweight. Dark clothing and a cloak, likely.

7) What song would your f/o say reminds them of you?

"Doctor" by Jack Stauber PFFFF

More serious answer: "Pink Bullets" by The Shins

13) How do other people see/describe your f/o? What’s the difference in their perception of them and yours?

A majority of the other researchers and doctors see 049 as, well obviously, a dangerous anomaly. The few who even do regard him as having autonomy and personhood still view him as nonsensical and even frustrating to deal with. My self insert, on the other hand, sees 049's humanity: His desire to help others (however misguided), his moments of kindness, and his general agreeableness. They're also admittedly pretty fascinated and enamored by him <3

14) Does your f/o have good vibes?

Strangely, genuinely, yes. 049 may kind of sort of kill the people he's trying to "cure" but he does have good intentions and is very affable and kind

well, i have a playlist for my neymessi 💗 because i feel a lot of songs can describe their different eras. but at the moment i'm relating them to the song "buena suerte" by pedro capó. idk, it just makes me think about that 2011 santos x barcelona and everything that happened after that <3
