fav reason for a submission so far??

My bad for the late answer, but I didn't want to sway the submissions while they were still open.

I could not choose a single favorite if you held me at gunpoint so here's a compilation:

also special shoutout to the people who submitted scientific essays for vincent sol and alastyr cross! and the person who put br'aads pronouns as h'e/h'im!

(Elite-Amarys mod) wait but I need to show off MY shiny furret that nearly killed me to get

Her name is MimiBOP! The Early Riser and she's in a Dream Ball and she's literally the most perfect pokemon to ever exist. I love her. She even has the perfect nature. Arceus' favourite beastie.

I LOVE FURRETS. SILLY LITTLE GUYS FRFR!!! Also I think having the dawn mark just fits a shiny Furret. I have no reasoning other than it looks good in my brain /pos

Also A DREAM BALL IS SO COOL!! I wish I had a dream ball when I caught mine, I didn't have one though. Lemon is currently in a luxury ball (which is the next best thing I think. It matched when he was a Sentret. Kinda.)

🛒❌💞?

Oh, I didn't actually expect to get any!! Thank you!!

🛒 What are some common things you incorporate in your fics? Themes, feels, scenes, imagery, etc.

Mm, okay, so going off all my works - including WIPS, I'm a sucker for angst. More than a few of my friends are aware that I'll just come up with frankly insane story ideas to do the absolute most damage. But I also love, well, love. My posted works as far as fanfiction goes (primarily DC, aside from the scattering of some Voltron and Monster stuff) are definitely aligned more towards romance and happy endings. And I'm a sucker for civilian and heroes, but even more so for villains and heroes as romance.

Maybe for specifics like, hiding the truth? Like one partner is the enemy, or affiliated in some way, and is hiding that because they're scared of losing the other. Their feelings are real, but their SO can't be sure when they find out the truth from someone else.

Also hanaki disease - but I haven't written any. Yet.

❌ What's a trope you will never write?

Solid question, but honestly I don't know. There's none that I can really name off the top of my head as far as tropes go? Like, I very much fall under DLDR, so if I'm not interested in something I won't even ever towards it (unless really desperate for content). But I can't really think of any.

💞 Who's your comfort character?

As far as OCs go - my character Osiyira/Wisteria. It used to be Nyumara (she's more for drawing, Wisteria is more for writing).

As far as actual characters? Bart Allen. 100%. Wow, I have written so much fanfiction including him, so many won't ever be posted. But even looking at my DC fanfic blog (@dickmedowndc ) you can tell I have the most involving him. Including one that's like, 12k, roughly, I think.

28 and 32? -@honeybushlab

hey there, thanks for the ask! since i’m the one handling it, i’ll have hyacinth reblog with her answers later. sorry if this causes any inconveniences.

28: what is your most recently obtained pokémon? mine is probably my Porygon2. i got them from a trade with Hyacinth. she wanted me to have a better pokemon team, so she traded me a Porygon and, lo and behold, it evolved into Porygon2. i think she said it was because of some sort of item? i’m not really sure. but i got them and they’re a great member of the team! this was a while ago, but i can’t be bothered to go out catching new pokémon every day.

32: have you encountered any rare or unusual pokémon? er, not really, no. i’d hate to have a boring answer to a good question, but unfortunately i don’t get to go out enough to see rare or unusual pokémon. when i do go out with my mind on pokémon, it’s because hyacinth has pulled me into doing some more double battles.

When I was like 15 I dated this guy named Wes and we would roleplay Soriel so then when we broke up it made me have a vendetta against the ship for a few years. You made me like them again though so thanks. Also I'm a lesbian now.

do you know where "no beta we die like x" comes from and how it is used?

The term "beta" in this context is short for "beta reader" - a person who reads a fic while it's still in the editing stage and helps the writer get it ready to post. Some betas check grammar. Some check canon compliance. Some are sensitivity readers. There are lots of things that betas can do.

So functionally, saying "no beta" means that the writer didn't get this checked by a second person before they posted it. It's a warning that there might be errors or typos etc. It's mostly used when an author has written something quickly and is posting without doing a lot of (or any) edits first.

As for where it comes from? It all started with a bumper sticker.

This image was an internet meme at one point, and it got meme'd on in the form of "no ___ we ___ like men"

Here on tumblr, one of the versions that got really popular was from now-deleted user @grec1a who created this version:

From there, it migrated to AO3 as the "no beta we die like men" tag, and very often the word men is replaced by the name of a character who dies in canon.
