Reblog and put in the tags how often you “clean” your tumblr account, deleting old posts.

@pscentral anniversary event: take two 2.0 ↠ JENA MALONE as JOHANNA MASON (x)

Johanna Mason. From District 7 Lumber and paper, thus the tree. She won by very convincingly portraying herself as weak and helpless so that she would be ignored. Then she demonstrated a wicked ability to murder. — Catching Fire, Suzanne Collins

I love u girls in my phone. I hope ur days are imbued w all the magic spring has to offer and that the spring sun thaws the ice in ur bones and that u feel just a little less lonely w the budding flowers and birdsong for company. And most importantly I hope this month is everything u want it to be and more

Not The Rookie reeling me back in with a Chenford breakup after I’d given up all hope lmao…

BREAKUP TRUTHERS UNITE ✊

I get my media recommendations the old fashioned way: by watching someone I follow on here go on an unhinged reblog spree of media related content until I eventually decide to go "alright, what's all this then"

Me being happy that one of the firefighters on the firefighter show is finally canonically Bi despite never watching a single episode:

[poppypickle]

must a fictional relationship be “healthy” or “functional”? is it not enough to simply watch two made up people destroy each other, hand in unlovable hand???

20 Questions for Fic Writers

Tagged by mi amor @cfr749, so obvs I gotta do this.

1. How many works do you have on Ao3? 29

2. What’s your total Ao3 word count? 230,379

3. What fandoms do you write for? I've written the most for The Rookie. I've also dabbled in: The Hunger Games, Harry Potter, Avengers, Community, and Miss Scarlet and the Duke.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

Lots of Chenford up in here...

• Come a Little Closer • I Can’t Help Myself • Want You to Stay • Bang Bang (Look What You Started) • Break Up With Him

5. Do you respond to comments?

I do! It's really important to me to respond to anyone who takes the time to leave a comment. That reciprocal appreciation is a really vital part of fandom for me.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Hmmm...probably Let Me Tell You a Story About War, which adds further angst to the canonically angsty ending for Clint and Natasha in Avengers: Endgame.

But all of my Gale-centric Hunger Games fics are suitably angsty too. 😅

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

I Can’t Help Myself is ooey gooey sweet. Let Me Name the Stars for You isn't sweet in the same way, but giving Gale and Johanna a happy ending still warms my heart.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Not really. I have found most people in my fandoms to be very kind and considerate.

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

"Yup... the horny kind?"

Lana, I LOL'ed. That pretty much sums it up. I had Chenford banging in closets and on tables and in cars and in bar bathrooms! Very satisfying for all, I hope.

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

No. They aren't really my thing.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? 

I think someone asked me if they could translate Let Me Name the Stars for You many years ago, but I'm not sure I ever saw the finished translation.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yes! Want You to Stay with the amazing @cfr749. The collaboration brought me so much joy, taught me so much about writing with someone else, and helped me push through some major writing block. Lana is an amazing friend and we need to write something together again!

14. What’s your all time favorite ship?

I can never choose a favorite, so I'll say that my favorite ships that I never finished fic for are Dan/Blair and Jonsa. I have quarter-written fics for each pairing somewhere in my notes and google docs.

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

The one I currently have rattling around in my brain where Miss Scarlet and the Duke's William and Eliza try out a Victorian friends with benefits thing. 😅

16. What are your writing strengths?

This is too loaded of a question. Hmmm...I think I write humor and banter-laced-with-feelings well.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I don't love writing climactic love confession moments, and I think it shows. I think I could let my characters be sappier sometimes. I also don't write action very well! Muddling my way through the gas station hostage crisis (LOL) in Want You To Stay was a STRUGGLE.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I would want a native speaker to review before publishing.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

First fandom I wrote for (but never published) was General Hospital. Jason & Robin 4eva. 😂

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

Let Me Name the Stars for You. It's a quiet little thing that covers a lot of emotional ground in not that many words, and I really love exploring how broken people find ways to put themselves back together again.

I also loved some of the moments I created for Hermione in Could You Leave Me With a Scar?

Tagging @itsoneofthemuses @crose84 @farfarawaygirl - but no pressure!

Gregory, I come to school every day happy because I get to see you and have a friend like you, and I cannot lose that friend. But maybe I am selfish, and if I need to be right now, then I don't want to wind up hurting you. It's you. And if we did this, then it would be.... Something real. Yeah.

too sleepy to elaborate at this time but I miss the old fandom culture of interacting with fanfic writers and fanfic artists as members of the fandom community who enjoyed engagement and discussion and feedback instead of the modern trend of seeing us as content creators up on a pedestal who don't need positive feedback but DO need to churn out constant content to feed the a03 machine

Use the ask box to submit a quote from a Chenford fanfic. It can be from a newly published work, or an old fave - everything is welcome! The purpose is to highlight and celebrate our fandom's fabulous fic writers!

HOW IT WORKS:

• Submit quotes using the ask box.

• When submitting a quote, please include the fic title and the author’s name (this can be their AO3 name, but please try to include their tumblr handle as well so we can tag them here!).

• We will share quotes, author credit, and links to the fics regularly here. (And unless it's sent anonymously, we will also note who submitted the quote.)

• Click the links and enjoy some wonderful writing! (Be sure to give the writer some love too!)

• All quotes are welcome, but any NSFW quotes will be tagged #nsfw for easy filtering

Shout-out to nacefanfic-quotes for inspiring this amazing idea! Not sure if that's where the original idea for this type of page came from, but we absolutely loved it and wanted to sprinkle that kind of love through our talented fandom!

#chenford #I barely even go here anymore but this is a very sweet idea #chenford fanfic #spread some love
