I used to do origami stars too! So I would like to request a 6, please and have the same thing I wrote on my first one...part of one of my favourite lyrics: you can be anything you want to be.

Theyre so peaceful to make right?? 10/10 can recommend.

Thanks for sending in a request!! These lyrics made a cute star ☆

Fanfiction Q&A

tagged by @thepagemistress , thank youuuuu! <3

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

a whopping 4 can you tell I don't write fics often!

though there actually used to be a few more short oneshots, but when I fell rather violently out of love with SPN, which they were for I just. couldn't stand to see them in there anymore (and I didn't like the writing itself anymore either) and I ended up deleting them... ^^"

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

41,198 (and the deleted fics would only have added around maybe 1000 words? 2k max but I don't even think they added up to that much)

3. What fandoms do you write for?

the only fics left are for DBH now, I have considered writing for Sandman, but tbh. there's sooooo many good writers in this fandom, anything I want to exist as fics is pretty much already there or in progress of being made and so I'm rather content to focus on art, slow at it though I may be :'D

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

er, well since there's only 4 of em:

1. no one can tell where your heart is (885, still in progress. and has been for a while I am so sorry)

2. lay bare the fire in me (328, .....the same as above. but I do have outlines for both fics, they WILL get finished dammit :'D)

3. and I don’t dance, but here I am (87, ...which is the sequel to 1 I couldn't wait to write even though the main fic isn't done yet xD)

4. freedom is a length of rope (34)

also yes, I am indeed very fond of the lower case titles

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I usually do or try to, even if it's just a short answer, because I love engaging with people over things that are important to me (and with comments I don't have to start the conversdation so to speak).

I do however have a few comments left in my inbox that I have not answered due to the crushing guilt of not having updated in so long.

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

freedom is a length of rope (technically also in progress to have a more hopeful ending added, but the longer it exists, the more I want to. keep the angsty ending it has. also guess where that title is from lmao)

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

and I don’t dance, but here I am though the in progress fics will likely end on the same level of everything is good and nothing hurts

8. Do you get hate on fics?

no, people have been very nice and also so infinitely patient with me! TAT

While not hostile, the weirdest I got was someone trying to convince me to let them sort of cowrite the fic with me? I respectfully declined because I did (I do TAT) have the general story outlined.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

...haven't yet, but the two fics in progres will have it. We'll find out h kind then I suppose.

No sure I'd ever be confident enough for pwp.

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

I have not and don't know if I would? If I did I'd probably only very loosely do it, because I am not confident I could do each included world/fandom justice. That's easier with art for me than writing.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

not to my knowledge, but with barely any existing and only half of em finished I would be surprised :'D

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

I.. don't think so.

13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

no, and tbh I'd probably be very intimidated to try.

14. What's your all-time favourite ship?

....ohhhhh noooooo, I hate picking favorites :'D

but I think one that's been with me since forEVER is Ace Attorney's Wrightworth (or NaruMitsu as I got to know it hehe).

In newer terms I think Dreamling will stick with me too.

15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

freedom is a length of rope like I said, the more I think about "fixing" what happened in chapter 1 in an additional chapter, the more I find myself leanign towards "no. this works better as an angsty oneshot"

maybe one day.

16. What are your writing strengths?

hmmm, not sure I write enough to really find em. minimalism? Shorter stories in a more minimal style I'd say.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

hilariously, I think that's also minimalism. because writing longer overarcing storylines when this is your go to becomes difficult.

Or maybe that's just "long interesting storylines that aren't super predictable or cliché"

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic.

well, I am German, so if the opportunity presented itself for a character where it works I could.

as far as writing in general in English goes. idk, I spent a lot of my time conversing and writing in English even outside the internet, and it's hard for me to judge how well lI'm doing in terms of er. written eloquence? I try my best and that's all I can do really.

For languages I don't know, I'd probably try to find someone who knows them or make really sure I've got it correct, I don't trust google translate enough :'D

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Supernatural

unless we count the NaruMitsu proposal RP I wrote with a friend in ICQ, but that was never published outside that chatroom xD

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

no one can tell where your heart is

as far behind as I am with updating it and as much as I feel like I bit off a bit more than I should've with it, it's my baby ;w;

Offering this up for anyone who feels so inclined to answer and tagging @wizardofgoodfortune , @wordsinhaled and @academicblorbo but no pressure! <3

OK, so I've been meaning to watch the Buzzfeed Unsolved guys for yeeeears and just never have and I started to look into it the other day and got...so confused. I know they have their own thing now but I don't really know where to start. Specific videos? Compilations? The new show? WHAT DO I DO??

you're in LUCK bc i've been asked about this before

#i'm too lazy to type out a long answer again ajsjhfhd so i'm just gonna reblog my old bfu primers #HOPE THAT'S OK #i'm sure i still stand by what i'd said back then #however that was way before ghost files premiered #i guess you can probably start watching ghost files from scratch now and slowly catch up on the old content on the side? #i mean that's probably what i'd do 🤔 #checking out ghost files now when there's still not that much of it is probably a good way to check whether you even dig ryan and shane's #Thing/banter/everything at all you know? and then if it turns out you do #you can probably check out older stuff #the vibe of bfu WAS a bit different than ghost files' i guess but at its core it was still very much a Ryan&Shane show #the og #that's where it all started baby!!!!! #anyway. let me reblog the primers #thepagemistress #a response #bfu primer #ish

Forever mad about the Gabriel sacrifices, t b h. Especially when they just went oh yeah that first one was a fake out. And then to just do EXACTLY THE SAME AGAIN. No added nuance, nothing. Then to have the gall to frame it with him being like "all I ever did was run" but sweetie...honey...sacrificing yourself is just another way of running! It was just his way of Avoiding The Consequences. My kingdom for Gabriel actually sticking around and dealing with the fallout of his actions (or inaction).

ohhh babe!!!! i think at this point it's very clear that i have Endless Rage about the gabriel retcon of s13 & how spn then turned around and subsequently reprised the Same Thing They Retconned in the first place, but with the audacity to do it worse the second time around. it's just!! ahh!!!

on the other hand, i don't want to necessarily describe gabe's self sacrifice as "running" (it doesn't sit right with me given the suicidal implications of his actions) tho i completely get where you're coming from. because risking his life (while underpowered!! he knows he's going to lose!!!!) to stop au!michael when his arc should hinge on his universe, his heaven, and his bros is a little.....silly? esp when you consider the implications of that which, yeah, feel like he's avoiding responsibility for his own problems. i don't think that's the purpose of his sacrifice—it's meant to feel heroic because he's someone who hates putting his life on the line and always has a trick up his sleeve (esp if we begrudgingly accept the s5 retcon as canon....), and here he's going out of his way to buy time for the people important to him—but it's just not compelling for gabe to die by the hand of a "brother" who.... isn't even his? this is literally his first time even meeting au!michael, and it just can't be meaningful in the same way that dying by lucifer's hand in s5 was poignant and important both for the plot and for his character. the writing is absolutely running from doing anything meaningful with his character in s13 because it fails to acknowledge who gabriel is and what is actually important to him going forward. i 10000% agree that the focus should've been on him facing the consequences of his actions & family head on and doing something about them. taking responsibility is precisely where his character's growth lies

#I'm just hesitant to describe a suicide mission as *running* because.... it IS a suicide mission #gabe is low on angel juice and KNOWS he stands no chance #which 1. is so unlike gabe. boy is NOT suicidal #and 2. is just another retread of spn's idolization of suicide lmaooooo #suicide cw #gabriel #ask #thepagemistress #magpie answers #spn #spn gabriel #gabriel spn

I wanna know more about Whiskered Prayers!

Aahh thank you for asking about something from this wip ask game ! <3

Whiskered Prayers is a wip that's also very old lmao (seems to be a theme....)

It's only a little ficlet so I should really finish it and get it out into the world instead of keeping it locked up in unfinished wip hell forever

It's inspired by a lovely piece of art by @dreampencil where Cas has a cat on his shoulder!

I thought it would be fun to write a little thing where Dean gets turned into a cat

The idea was that Dean and Cas go investigate a forest that people are going hiking in and then disappearing. But once in the forest they get separated and Dean stumbles upon a girl who he thinks is one of the missing hikers - they talk while they walk and she offers him one of her bottles of water.

It's not his fault he doesn't suspect anything, her disguise is very good and the bottle is sealed!

So Dean unknowingly drinks something from a fairy oops.

And he's cursed into the body of a cat!

The fairy that cursed him monologues about their plans, how to break the curse etc etc and luckily Dean manages to escape.

Cas is on his own mission to find Dean, getting more and more worried, and eventually stumbles upon Cat!Dean.

Shenanigans ensue and Cat!Dean eventually finds out that praying to Cas still works even as a cat.

I figured that Dean would pretend to be captured somewhere instead of owning up to being the cat, and tells Cas all he knows about the fairies and what the previous one had monologued to him about how to banish them back to their world.

I really only have a vague outline for the story though and the ending would just be them finding the power source the fairies are using to make the forest some kind of liminal space and Cas smashing it. The missing hikers reappear and Dean turns back in a fun reveal for Cas - his cat friend had been Dean all along????

Something like that lmao

MotoGP for the fandom thing!

The first character I first fell in love with: Marc, it’s all Marc’s fault. He kept popping up on my dash being adorable/gorgeous.The character I never expected to love as much as I do now:  Dani totally snuck up on me and made me fall in love with him! Jorge kind of put me off at first, till I got to know more about him and ended up really liking him. And also I never paid much attention to Aleix Espargaro at all for ages, and then suddenly realized overnight that he’s an adorable sweetheart, so that was also unexpected :)The character everyone else loves that I don’t: Vale, though obviously not everyone loves him. I’m also sort of irrationally annoyed by Maverick Viñales for no real reason at all? I don’t hate him or anything but I just never seem to warm up to him much for some reason.The character I love that everyone else hates: Well, I like Marc and Jorge, who are pretty polarizing and generally hated by Vale fans, so I guess that counts. And of course I adore Dani and he’s not really hated, but he gets far too much criticism and claims he’s not good enough from people idiots on social media, etc. The character I used to love but don’t any longer: No one, really, it’s more the opposite - I keep adding faves right and left! More and more guys who I was originally neutral or even negative about keeping winning me over, so this really hasn’t happened.The character I would totally smooch: Dani 💖 (Though frankly there’s an embarrassingly long and still growing list whom I would happily smooch, tbh.)The character I’d want to be like: Dani - I love his perseverance and dedication and sense of humor and sportsmanship.The character I’d slap: I guess Vale, sometimes. I do find him annoyingly charming and funny at times, off-track, but there are times I’d definitely slap him.A pairing that I love: Dani/Jorge! Honestly, the RL backstory is SO perfect, it’s a ready-made enemies-to-lovers story, and now they really do seem to have a lot of respect for each other despite their rivalry and it makes me all warm and fuzzy :) There’s a tragically small amount of fic for them, which I am hoping to help remedy...A pairing that I despise: Anything with Vale. I have read some well-written fic by authors I like and he can be a really fascinating character, but my dislike of him tends to keep me from really getting into it. Also anything with Nicky Hayden, though he seems like a nice guy, because he turned up in a secondary pairing in a fic I read once, and I can NOT read dirty talk/sensual murmurs/etc without hearing them in his voice and accent and dissolving into giggles.
