turchinorain replied to your photo: The good thing about being stuck in the outskirts...

I hope you do write at lease one of these. I love your stories and smutty one shots. You’re awesome

I of course intend to write all of them, at one point or another. But given that my “fanfiction ideas” document is currently at 27.304 words then there really is PLENTY of ideas to pick from x’D

I know I haven’t updated in almost 2 months, work has been crazy busy! Here’s Chapter 8, please leave a review and tell me what you think. 

Also, a very big thank you for @turchinorain who helped me immensely by writing the first scene for me when I was in a creative drought. Honestly, thank you so much! You rock! Feedback is appreciated! Thanks for being patient with me!

Once you get this, you have to say five things you like about yourself, publicly, then, you have to send this to ten of your favorite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool)

Apparently I was tagged by @nikkxb forever and a half ago, and I apologize for not seeing it/possibly forgetting if I did. This is awesome and kind of what I need right now. Here we goes:

I like my tenacity. I dont like giving up, ever and even if I say I will, I rarely actually give up. Things often get me down, but I'm rarely knocked out (probably because In too stubborn to stay down).

I love big and I really like that. If I like you, I probably live you a little bit, and if I love you, I love you a while ton. I cant love in half measurea; it's all or nothing. And I feel for my friends very deeply. Sometimes caring so much about my people makes me feel vulnerable but I wouldn't go without it.

I LOVE MY BUTT! Shes fantastic! Not huge, but you know when she's entered a room. Shes made life difficult for many a pencil skirts, and I've ripped more than one pair of tight jeans, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

I really like my writing. I just erased three versions of this sentence that negate that. Im...a good writer. Particularly dialogue. Like...I really line it and sometimes to motivate myself, I go back and read dialogue I've written. Even if the narrative is cringey, the dialogue is usually pretty solid and I love it.

I have bombass handwriting. When I really focus, it's good. For years my parents and siblings would make me write cards for them, and even now I cant remember the last time my husband signed a greeting card. I always have to do it, and I kind of look forward to it.

For the Writer ask can I ask you 💁,🎢,and 💎 for Warped?

💁- Did readers influence change any part of this story? 

Not so much with the actual content in my story, but the people who read and review my fanfic encourage me to write my very best because I wouldn’t want to let them down.

🎢- Were there any scenes you were nervous about? For audience reception or otherwise?

I was nervous about writing the action scene at the end of chapter 3 and the chase scene in chapter 4. Writing action is a bit of a challenge for me and I’m always trying to balance between keeping things short and snappy but not too flat and monotonous to read. At the same time, I don’t want to take forever when describing simple actions accurately when it’s not necessary.

💎- What was your favorite part?

Hmm… If I’m not allowed to say my favorite part is something I haven’t written yet, then it would have to the part with Lauren and Mad Jack at the end of chapter 4. It was a lot of fun to write.

Thanks for asking these questions, @ turchinorain. They were fun to think and write about.

Countries I have lived in: The U.S.

Favorite Fandom: Hey Arnold, it’s basically the only fandom I’m involved in.  I follow Harry Potter (specifically Snape fans), Psych, and Criminal Minds tho.

Languages I speak: English, I once spoke decent Spanish but lack of practice the last ten years leaves me pretty much a noob again.

Favorite film of 2016: Fantastic Beasts---But only because it’s literally the only movie I saw...not for lack of wanting to see movies...we just never have time.

Last article you read: An article about 7 year-olds...I’m about to have one haha.

Put your music on shuffle and list the first three songs that play:

My taste in music is really random, so enjoy...?

1.  “Everything You Do” - He is We

2. “Look in Your Eyes” - Chris Akers (indie musician I went to high school with and was in choir with.  Look him up!)

3. “Slide” - The Goo Goo Dolls

Last thing you bought online: I just ordered some of those amazing pears from Henry & David. THEY ARE AMAZING and I’m not really a pear fan...so what does that tell you?

Any phobias or fears? Losing my family and those roots that potatoes grow when you forget about them in your cupboard...they terrify me.

How would your friends describe you? This is how one of my good friends talked about me recently: “Her story’s amazing and hilarious...she needs to write and illustrate a book and then sing in a promotional commercial about it and take her own headshots--that’s how talented she is.”  Haha, not sure if it’s really that accurate, but it made me smile and it was a friend describing me...or at least some “talents”.

How would your enemies describe you? I have no idea. They always just talk behind me back...so no idea. I honestly don’t care either.

Who would you take a bullet for? Anyone I love.

If you had spare money what would you spend it on? I have an entire list.  Spare money hasn’t existed in my life for abut 10 years.  Someday. *sigh*

For the Get to Know My Characters asks, can I ask you 11, 16, and 33 for Arwen, Tessa, and Juniper please

11. What is something that would make your character fly into a rage?

Arwen is incredibly short-tempered, so it doesn’t take much to send her into a rage.

Juniper is a lot calmer than Arwen, it would take a lot to send her into a rage. However, she has an obsessive personality so if someone took away or tried to take away anything she was currently interested in, she would get pretty pissed off.

Tessa gets upset whenever she feels personally attacked or disturbed. Though she tries her hardest to keep her emotions in check, self-control is something she struggles with. If someone were to tease or annoy her enough, she would fly into a rage.

16. Is your character the athletic type or more of a couch potato? What are some sports/games that they like?

As a former acrobat (who still practices from time to time), Tessa is fairly nimble and athletic. Obviously, her favourite sports would be acrobatics, gymnastics, and dance.

Arwen actually really dislikes sports. Before coming to Horae Manor and training, she didn’t do much working out. But she still enjoys fighting sports like kickboxing.

I wouldn’t call Juniper a couch potato, but she’s definitely not the athletic type. She’s more into strategic games like chess.

33. If your character wanted to be alone, where would they go?

Tessa would find the highest place she could and climb all the way to the top. She wouldn’t care if others could see her, because she’d know that no one would be able to reach her.

Juniper would find any private place where she knew no one would be able to find her, likely using her small size to slip into some tight, dark places. She’d never use the same space twice.

Arwen would just retreat to her room and lock the door until she felt ready to interact with other people again.

Thanks for the questions! Always a pleasure!

[thebookkeeperslibrary]

May I ask you 2, 31, and 46 from the fanfic writer asks turchinorain reblogged?

2. things that motivate you

I always enjoy getting nice reviews and messages. Anything that shows people are actually reading and enjoying my stories. Reading also motivates me, but it can also demotivate me. Like, I’ll get inspired by something I’ve read, but at the same time, I’ll feel full of self-doubt, thinking that I won’t ever be as good as the author of the book I’m reading.

31. easiest part of writing

Dialogue. In fact, it’s too easy. I feel that all my stories are too dialogue heavy. I need to work on adding more description. I’m also pretty quick at creating new characters and locations.

46. share a scene of a story that you haven’t published yet

Okay, from the next chapter of The Time Page’s Wish:

"I give it amonth before Tessa scares him off." Arwen purses her lips.

Juniper scoffs."She may be… intense, but I doubt Joe will scare as easily as the lastone."

"The last one?You mean the person who was here before Joe? I thought Rowena and Cassius saidthat the last guy was sent here by accident?" Sam wrings his hands, eyeingTessa.

Arwen shrugs."Accident or not, Tessa made sure he was never coming back," shesnickers. "You should have seen the look on this guy's face when Tessachallenged him to a duel."

"Poor guy neverstood a chance," Juniper adds.

"Yeah? Well, Ibet Joe won't be going anywhere." Fred crosses his arms. "He's waytoo much of a magic geek to give this up."

"How much?"

Fred blinks."What?"

"How much do youwant to bet?" Arwen raises an eyebrow at him. "If you're so confidentin your boy, let's make this a little interesting."

Everything Wrong With Theme Parties

<i>Another AU prompt for @turchinorain, who really doesn't want me to fall back into my writers block and is fighting it off with both hands. Yooda Best!

"This is why I don't come to parties..."

"You don't come to parties because you always say that 'books are better than people'."

"They <i>are<i>! Helga tells me, gesturing around as if the room were evidence enough of that fact. "A couple's costume party...can you imagine anything more idiotic?"

I have to admit, when Gerald told me about this idea, I momentarily wondered what parasite was manning the helm in my best friend's brain. There was not mistaking that he was madly in love with Phoebe, but neither of them seemed to be into things like 'couple's parties', until they got together. The whole idea was starting to seem a little ridiculous, even for me.

"The theme is kind of cute..." I offered. The small apartment was packed floor to ceiling with couple's in various states of costume, some matching, others not. I was beginning to think that I overdressed, and Helga underdressed. If she felt out of place, her huff of frustration hid it well. I was kind of hoping this party would break Helga and I out of our slump. While we were far from the honeymoon stage of dating, I always thought that when (not if) we did get together, it would be as exciting and passionate as the poetry she penned. And while I'm more than happy lounging around our shared space, watching marathons of zombie movies and Jane Austen adaptations, I kind of envied Gerald and Phoebe's unwavering sparks.

After a long stretch of silence, she spoke again. "So, what's with your getup?" Helga asked, not looking away from her phone. She warned me beforehand that the only good thing about parties was free food, and the opportunity to people watch. No doubt, she was logging her observations into her phone for later review.

"I'm a pirate," I said, simply. And she calls me dense.

"I can see that Footballface." The look Helga cut towards me could have shattered a diamond. "The theme of this dumb thing is "What You Were Wearing When You Fell in Love", and while I'd like to launch into a lengthy diatribe about what an absolutely stupid theme that is, even for a couple's party, I can't quite recall pillaging any seaports and taking back a tankard of ale with you since we've been together."

I resist the urge to let my jaw hit the floor. Helga, who remembers <i>everything<i> about our relationship, has let something slip her memory. How was this moment singed in my memory and not hers?

"You really don't remember, do you?"

"Unless you're thinking of some other girlfrie-"

"We were in the fourth grade. I was dressed as a pirate, and you were dressed as Lila Sawyer for some reason. That's when I knew."

Helga looked up from her phone and stared at me like I'd just grown another football shaped head. "You remember that?"

"Of course I do. It's when I...started to like you. Really like you," I finished taking her hand, because I knew she wouldn't take mine. Years into a relationship taught me that Helga might never be fully comfortable with public displays of affection. "Which begs me to ask, where's your costume?"

A smile that told me I'd never get the full story spread across her face. "I don't need one." Helga fingered a faded pink bowbraided into her long ponytail. "I've never taken mine off."

BUH BAM. I kind of love this, even though it's covered in fluff. I love fluff. I want to be the FluffMaster Supreme of the Hey Arnold Writing Community. It is my destiny. Hope you love this too!

I’m about to head to bed in a bit, but my birthday is tomorrow. It kinda hit me that I’ll be 21 in a few hours. and my run on the internet is literally:

writing fanfiction for an obscure fandom with @turchinorain

a glam metal fan 

spending most of my adolescence in love with a secondary character in saint seiya; fucking wolf nachi (and his descendant wolf junkers)

writing a list of original characters and plots for the same fandom but never getting around to posting shit

to branching off and now doing some personal creative projects on my own. 

it’s been a ride...  

#i'm getting kinda emotional rn

[wistfulwanderingone]

Hey, @mikosarthouse​, here’s the correct answers...I re-did them for you.  I have no idea what happened to them. 8,12,22,28,37

8.) Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.

What constitutes a snippet?  This is probably longer...but I love the whole thing because I feel like it was a perfect way to reintroduce Arnold and Helga to each other.  Not to mention the other characters are so in-character here that I love it!.

         “What are you doing here?”

           She rolls her eyes. “My job.”

           “What job’s that? Destroying my dig site?” I say this teasingly, but I’m seriously annoyed that her clumsiness almost destroyed weeks of work.

           “No, Arnoldo.  I’m here to interview a crackpot archeologist for The National Geographic. Apparently, that's you,” she adds with one of her smirks that I’m all too familiar with. How could I forget how much Helga Pataki lives to tease and rile people up--especially me?

           “Then why do you seem so surprised to find me here?  Wait a second,” I exclaim, “crackpot archeologist?  Who says I’m a crackpot?”

           “Um...everyone,” she quips throwing her arms out for effect. “You claim that San Lorenzo's Green Eyes are descendents of the Ancient Egyptians. That’s like oceans away from here,” she laughs.  “And to answer your other question, I’m surprised to find you here because I wasn't actually given your name.  Just initials and 'team.'”

           “So how'd you find us here?”  

           She gives me a look that screams ‘what, are you an idiot?’ “How many eccentric archeologists do you think there are in San Lorenzo that think the Green Eyes are actually Egyptians? Geez, Copernicus, it’s not like you’re hiding or anything. I’ve been all over Central and South America and there’s definitely no one like you. And as the top National Geographic journalist in these parts, I am telling you I have been all over.”

           I raise an eyebrow at her in surprise. “I thought you were going to be a novelist or something. I didn’t know you were into this kind of thing.”

           She smiles genuinely and it completely transforms her face.  “Are you joking?” she laughs.  “Traveling the world...adventure...going off the beaten paths and investigating for stories? This is so totally up my alley!” she cries, throwing her arms out wide.  And then her expression turns smug.  "What's not my thing are these little boring 'interest' pieces about crazy archeologists with insane theories.”

"We have plenty of evidence, Pataki. And I'll prove it to you."

           "Only time will tell, I suppose," she replies, slight sarcasm in her voice.

           “Arnold, we...we, uh...we need your help,” Sandy calls, approaching us at a run.  Glancing to Helga she adds, “If you can spare a moment.”

           “Your wife summons, Shortman,” Helga quips with a guffaw.

           Sandy puts her hands on her hips and narrows her eyes at Helga.  “I’m not his wife, whoever you are,” she corrects her with a terse tone to her voice.

           “Her name's Helga. What’s up?” I ask Sandy, standing up and dusting off my pants.

           Eyeing Helga suspiciously, she finally turns to me and answers.  “Well...Soren’s stuck up in the tree with a bunch of monkeys.”

           “This is I gotta see,” Helga laughs, standing up and clapping her hands together.

           Approaching the area where Sawyer had found the monkeys and Soren had been goofing off, we look up into the towering branches of the tree.  There's Soren, high up, cornered by a group of monkeys that are either really curious about him or about to tear his face off.

           “You know spider monkeys are some of the most intelligent monkeys of the New World,” Richard states, looking at Antoinette as we approach.  He smiles proudly at himself, waiting for her answer.

           “Fascinating, but not all that helpful,” she replies sarcastically.  

           Richard’s shoulders slump slightly and he kicks a rock dejectedly in front of him.  “Your mama’s not helpful,” he mumbles under his breath.

           “Not the time, Richard,” Antoinette reprimands sternly.

           “Get me down from here!” Soren shouts suddenly as a monkey swings over to him, and then hangs from a branch so he’s face to face with him.  

           “Quite the brilliant team of scientists you’ve got here, Arnold,” Helga retorts, behind a raised eyebrow and a smirk.

           “I was never a huge fan of Tarzan...and now I’m married to him,” Sandy groans from beside her.

           "You could do worse," Helga says, nonchalantly. However, the way she eyes me makes my stomach sink with dread.  It’s like I know she’s up to something, like she’s going to say something that I don’t want to hear.  "You could actually be married to a football-headed oddball of an archeologist."

           …And there it is.

12.) Is there an episode above all others that inspires you just a little bit more?

Honestly this is kind of hard for me to answer...there are a lot of episodes that inspire me for different things, so I don’t think I can really choose just one.

22.) Choose a passage from one of your earlier fics and edit it into your current writing style. (Person sending the ask is free to make suggestions).

This was really hard.  I have trouble rewriting stuff...once it’s written I feel like I can’t mentally think about a different way to change it but I will try.  For this I just chose a random paragraph in the beginning of my old fic “Weathered Too Young”...something that I am still really proud of and I hope one day to rewrite and finish.  

Old-Version:

Arnold stared into the mirror at his reflection. He hardly recognized himself these days. He was twenty-six years old, but felt like he was eighty. The last couple of years had really been hard on him and he felt exhausted, hopeless, and helpless. Sometimes he felt like he had wasted the last four or five years of his life. And there would never be any hope of getting them back.

He rubbed bitterly at his eyes, trying in vain to dispel the fatigue and get rid of the large purple bags that hung heavily there. He did this every morning, but never to any avail. The green of his eyes had gradually faded to an empty gray-green that no longer held any light. He put some gel in his hands, rubbed them together and tried resentfully to restore his hair to its once bright, blonde, energetic look. No use. It still looked pale and limp.

New-Version:

Arnold Shortman stared hard into the mirror. A sad, aged face stared back at him.  Was this someone he knew?  Was this really him?  He could hardly recognize that tired, pained face that gazed back at him.  He was barely twenty-six years old, but he felt like he was eighty.  

The past couple of years had been loathsome and draining.  If he thought too much about it...let the aches of pain and regret take over...he’d start to feel like he had wasted the last four or five years of his life.  Wasted them...and there was no way he’d ever get them back.

And sometimes if he continued on this train of thought...he’d get angry and hateful.  But it wouldn’t last long...the gloom and anxiety would settle back in, much stronger than the anger and work as a distraction.  A miserable distraction.

He rubbed bitterly at his eyes, trying in vain to dispel the fatigue and get rid of the large purple bags that hung heavily there.  Every morning as if out of habit, he did this.  But never to any avail.  The green of his has had gradually faded to an empty grayish-green that reminded him of the dying, drought-beaten sagebrush he’d seen one on a trip to Arizona.  Rubbing gel between his palms, he smoothed it into his hair, trying resentfully to restore his once bright, blonde hair to it’s former glory.  But like always, it still looked pale and limp.

Tell me what you think! Is it better?

28.) Share three of your favorite fic writers and why you like them so much.

Well, I think it only makes sense to start with @pointyobjects​.  Why?  Because she was the first HA! author whose work I fell in love with.  Everything she writes is always exactly the quality and content I always crave. It always makes me laugh (and i love laughing) because I think she has a witty way of looking at the world and describing it, and I think her writing style is in some ways similar to mine and maybe that’s another reason her work appeals to me so much. Her stuff is golden. I’m never disappointed.  I’m also jealous of her drabbles...there’s just so much perfection in such a small amount of words. 

Second would probably be @polkahotness​.  It’s funny...I had never read her stuff until I saw her post looking for a beta and offered my services...then I started reading “Spanish 2 Was All For You” and I LOOOOOOVED it!  Her fluff is golden.  But I also love her poetry...it’s gorgeous, like so beautiful and inspiring.  Not only are her actually poems like that...but the way she writes and describes things in general is so poetic...and while I SUCK at poetry I can read it and know it and appreciate it’s beauty.  And her’s is amazing.  She also writes really deep, emotionally beautiful fics and they amaze me.

I think for the third one I want to shout out to a few authors.  I suck at reading fics these days, but I’m started a few and if only time would permit I’d keep reading it.   @turchinorain whose pirate AU “The Promise of the Sea” fic calls to me constantly because I can feel it’s going to be awesome.  @ps118daily whose “Leaves” I’ve only read two chapters of...but, dang I want to read MORE.  I feel like there’s going to be some amazing depth there.  @aibou-ftw who has written my most favorite ever one-shot “Yes, No, Maybe”.  Seriously, favorite EVER!

37.) Talk about your current wips.

“The Shadow Around His Heart” -- that’s my baby.  I love it.  i have sooooo many amazing plans for it.  And as hard as it is to write...it’s also the easiest thing I think I’ve written because i’m so passionate about it.  New Chapter coming in a week or less!  I promise!

“No Competition” -- It’s back! This is my HS fic...with lots of tension and while its funny, I feel like it has a really unique plot with lots of surprises coming and a bit of drama.  So hopefully more updates more frequently!

“Secret Upcoming One-Shot”-- I hopefully will finish this soon...but it will be the kids as 9 year-olds in a style fitting an episode.  I’ve had this idea for a year so I wanna finish it soon!

“As Yet Untitled Drama” -- while watching a show I had this idea...I’m so excited for it...it’s gonna take lots of PRE PLANNING so it’s in that stage now.  Just think drama and ALL the characters as adults...it’s gonna be probably the most drama I’ve ever written.  Stick around!

“Pride and Prejudice AU” - Still planning on doing this but it’s taken a back burner to my two current projects.  Never fear...it will come one day.

[wistfulwanderingone]

Meme for Fic Writers -- Answers

@turchinorain  The answers to your requests :-)

24. Have you ever deleted one of your published fics?

Yes.  Once.  I had like the first two chapters of a “Criminal Minds” fic posted on my fanfiction account a few years ago, but deleted it when I realized I’d probably never finish it and wanted to focus solely on HA! fics. I *think* that’s the only one I deleted though.  I left all the half finished old fics (circa 2006-2008) on there as I’m proud of them--even if they are incomplete.

32. How do you feel about smut?

Honestly, I don’t like it.  This is not an insult to those who do.  It’s just my opinion and I don’t judge others for their’s.  I just think smut is unnecessary and inappropriate.  In fact I’ve started reading amazing fics before that turned into smut fics and it basically ruined the story for me and the story loss most of its impressiveness and I lost a lot of the respect for the author . So I don’t read or write it.  Never will.

39. Do you ever get rude reviews and how do you deal with them?

Oh, ALL THE TIME.  People are amazing in their cruelty.  It’s usually on “No Competition” because people have some warped perception of Arnold and Helga’s personalities, or don’t like that teenage Arnold can hold his own.  Honestly, at first they used to really bug me.  At this point I kind of just laugh at them because I believe with ever fiber in me that my characterization is on point, that my writing is good, and that for the most part they are trolls.  So I don’t let it get to me usually.  Really bad ones I share with my friend and we kind of laugh it off or she’ll cheer me up.

40. Write an alternative ending to [insert fic title] (or just the summary of one).

Honestly, I’ve only ever finished one shots...and there’s really no other ending I can even conceive of. Ask me again when I finish NC or The Shadow and I’ll see what I can do. ;-)

#meme #arnolds-love #answers

[wistfulwanderingone]

14, 20, and 21 please

14.) What do you include in character descriptions?

Honestly, I try never to do like a big chunk of character description.  I like to fit them in amongst the paragraphs and dialogue.  i.e. “Blah blah blah blah,” says Turchinorain with a toss of her brown curls.  Something like that.  I hate reading paragraphs of just character description so that’s probably why I don’t write them.

As for what I include...I usually stick to thinks like eyes (color, size, shape), hair (color, texture), skin tone sometimes, and very occasionally body type.  I think I might describe hands a lot too.  I’ve always liked hands.  Which sounds creepy, but i don’t mean it creepy haha.

20.) What is one thing you would never do in a story or to a character?

Well, I’d probably never tackle super serious subjects like rape, suicide.  that goes for story or character.  So things like that I avoid.

21.) What do you do if you come to a fork in the road (where your story could go one of two different ways)?

Oh geez...I HATE forks in the road.  Generally lately I have it planned out enough that that isn’t a problem...but I do hit tiny forks in the road and i hate them...so I just think about which one I’d rather write and go with that hahaha!  Not really a genius way to choose, but it’s what I do.

Thanks @turchinorain!

[wistfulwanderingone]

27, 33, 39 (for Shadow Around His Heart)

27.) when you read fic, how often do you comment?

Always.  Never, do I skip commenting/reviewing.  I know how much reviews mean to me so I would never not leave one.  And 9/10 times I leave a commentary review, because they are my favorite and they are fun to write, not to mention they are probably the most helpful to the writer.

33.) favorite one-shot you’ve written?

I would probably say…well, I had an answer but I went to look at my one-shots and how i’m having trouble deciding…okay, I think I was write.  I’d have to say “Countdown”. I just love the idea…and I love the execution and I just love it!  And I rarely get so excited about my own work.

Second favorite (just because I want to share) I think is a tie between “Snow” (that I wrote WAAAAY back in 2008) and “A Cozy Christmas for Two”.  “Snow” because I just loooove because…well, I’ll let one of my old favorite reviewers (who I miss dearly) say it in her review words: “I like how it goes from bleak, to dreary, to depressing… and then, ARONLD! And instantly the sun comes out from behind the clouds and smiles, and young love is in the air. : )”  The Christmas one because it was based on my husband’s and my first christmas married…and I love that it ends so…so Helga. ;-)

39.) any alternate fic titles you were considering for this verse?

Oh wow…a TON…but they were relatively the same. 

The Shadow Within His Heart 

The Shadow of His Heart 

The Shadow Owned His Heart 

Basically they involved a Shadow and a Heart…I’m sure you could probably figure out why already..but the one I picked makes the most sense for some plot stuff I have in mind.  Gosh I hope that wasn’t spoilers!

Thanks for the asks @turchinorain
