Hiiii!!!! >w

Yeee! I love asks!

🌹 I think I have too many OTPs to count buut Shakarian (Mass Effect) is amazing like whoah. I have a hard time… caring about any of the other FemShep romances lol For Boueibu I don’t think I HAVE an OTP because I almost ship everyone with everyone else interchangeably lol

Oh and since the boyfriend just binge watched all of Death Note it reminded me that LxLight is forever one of my first OTPs

😑 I’m pretty indifferent to AkoRima like… I like them both individually but the ship doesn’t do much for me. Maybe once I finish my boueibu rewatch I’ll feel differently

💔 Kinatsu just kind of fills me with some type of melancholy because En definitely has feelings for Atsushi imo and he’d also be the type of person to just… let Atsushi go after who he wants without saying anything. Although Enatsu has similar feels when I think about Kinshiro. I think Enatsukin (is that the ship name?) is the only ot3 I ship hardcore over the regular pairings because I can’t bear to see any of those three unhappy lol

Also again, because I’m reminded of Death Note… LxLight STILL MAKES ME SAD BECAUSE OBVIOUS REASONS. If only Light hadn’t been a megalomaniac mass murderer with a god complex…

💚 I might get some flak for this here but I very very quietly ship OtaYuri (YoI) but the tumblr discourse ™ has made me want absolutely nothing to do with the ship at all. Sigh. I could write an entire meta about those two but I won’t for fear of pissing anyone off. The long and the short of it- I love me some friends to lovers slow burn and that ship has that written alllllll over it and I wish the fandom would just fucking chill.

💤 Ooooooh this is a good one. The entirety of the Harry Potter canon pairings??? I will defend Harry and Draco to the death but if he absolutely had to be with a woman, Hermione or Luna would have been much better fits than Ginny for reasons I could fill an entire essay with. Luna in general should have been put with literally anyone else other than fucking Rolf whom we never ever see- I love that the final film put the idea of Neville and Luna out there because if Luna didn’t wind up with Harry she definitely would have found something in Neville. asdfjk;l;

👀 A ship I’m curious about? Like one I see out there but haven’t read anything about? Uhm… IbuKin maybe? Akorima again I guess, as well? I suppose anything with Arima in it because I’m becoming intrigued by his character but just haven’t quite gotten interested enough yet? Idk this question is difficult.

💖 Yumoto and literally anything, platonic or otherwise depending on personal headcanons. Idk- I am probably in a minority shipping Yumoto romantically with anybody but I will eventually write a meta about him and the Beppus because developmentally, the Beppu brothers fit with Yumoto much better than they do Gora or each other (I am reminded far too much of Hitachiincest and my cringe-worthy early shipping years to ship them… shudders) and Yumoto likewise could connect with them easily. I don’t even care about the kind of ship at this point I just want to not be the only one writing stuff about Yumoto and either or both of the Beppus lol like sign me up for platonic cuddling, romantic cuddling, literally ANYTHING because my smol angsty twins and smol fluffy love prince need more fandom love asdfkajsdlfkjasd;ljoi

For the fanfiction questions thing: 1, 3, 6, 11, 17, 21, 25, 27, 36, 40, 41, 46, 50 and 51 (I hope these aren't too many)

Not too many at all! I like talking about myself lol.

Under a cut because longggggg.

1) What was the first fandom you got involved in?

Oh gosh, definitely Tokyo Mew Mew. I never wrote fanfics for it but I co-owned and then owned an Avidgamers RP site for TMM called MewUSA back in like 2004-2006. Avidgamers was a forum site engine that was pretty damn nice for its time (also FREE, that was a plus) and I spent HOURS creating characters, storylines, and layouts for it. There were TONS of individual in-character boards and I think we may have had up to 100 unique users at one point. The detailed characters/plotlines were BASICALLY fanfiction- I think I did an entire rp with myself between a few of my characters once- and it was a whole lot of fun. Some of the OCs from that site were repurposed into a longrunning rp I have with @liarino on AIM and I am FOREVER grateful that I met them through that site

Fanfic-wise, it was Full Metal Alchemist. I had a horrendous LITERAL self-insert OC fic called ‘Nice of Me to Drop In’ that was based on an RP I did with a different friend. Plot? ‘Fangirl of FMA LITERALLY FALLS INTO HER TELEVISION AND WAKES UP IN THE UNIVERSE AND FALLS IN LOVE WITH ALPHONSE’. The end. I never finished it but holy shitballs it got SO MANY REVIEWS. I’m surprised how many people actually enjoyed it- I did get some criticisms but despite the fact that it was so cringe-worthy that I took it down it still got sooooo much positive feedback. I sometimes wonder if people would still be reading it on ff.net if I hadn’t taken it down the last time I overhauled that account. I still have some Ouran oneshots on there that I wrote TEN FUCKING YEARS AGO that still get reviews. Dayum.

3) What is the best fandom you’ve ever been involved in?

I have to say it’s a tie between the Tokyo Mew Mew fandom circa 2003-2006 and the Ouran fandom from about 2006-2008. My experience with them was limited to RP boards but I had the MOST FUN running MewUSA and a long-running Gaia RP ‘Hosting the Hosts’ because of the warm response to the concepts. The TMM fandom especially was super creative even back in the day- there were so many fan mew mews because the formula was so easy and that was one series that I didn’t mind OCs because the concept was easily applied. In-universe, the creator could have easily made more Mew Mews. So the possibilities were endless. That’s also the fandom I learned the majority of my writing skills from, even if I did get called out a couple times for shitty RPing. I got better and I was so sad when the engine finally kicked the bucket. Aside from the RP sites the TMM fandom had sooooo many fansites dedicated to the show- my other favorite being Neko Tokyo. I think that site might still be up…

Ouran was limited to that RP I ran but damn I never had one so fun. That group of writers was hysterical and I actually met one of them in person because by sheer coincidence she lived near me. She moved soon after we figured it out but she came back for a convention and we hung out all weekend. Unfortunately I don’t remember her name and I lost her phone number T_T I wonder where she is sometimes. I wonder where a lot of my fan friends from back then are. The problem with early 2000s internet.

Tho I think Boueibu will be my new modern fave fandom.

6) List your OTP from each fandom you’ve been involved in.

Ohhhh dear. I’ll keep it to ones that I actually ship characters in because a lot of my early fandoms were MYSELF AS AN OC X HOT MALE CHARACTER. OTL. I was a weeb. Most of these are fandoms I’ve rped in rather than written fanfiction for, however.

Tokyo Mew Mew- PuddingxTart. I like to read IchigoxKisshu fanfics sometimes but that ship is highly problematic looking back on it lol

Code Lyoko - THROWBACK. JeremiexAelita. Adorable.

Ouran HSHC - I’m fond of HunnyxHaruhi (as evidenced by my mostly abandoned ff.net account) but basically AnyonexHaruhi is super cute. I think I read a fic once where Haruhi was in a relationship with ALL of the guys and it was actually super interesting. I don’t think I can find it again, tho.

Harry Potter - Drarry.

Walking Dead - CarolxDaryl FTW. and Richonne. I’ve toyed with the idea of writing fanfics for WD but never quite get up to it.

Mass Effect - Shakarian. Fuck yes. Fun fact I have an unfinished smutfic on the mass effect kinkmeme livejournal that I will EVENTUALLY FINISH ONE DAY AND PUBLISH UNDER MY NAME buuuut for now it will remain an anonymous abandoned fic.

Boueibu - …All of them? OTL I can’t pick one ship… tho if you force me… IoRyuu and BeppuMoto OT3.

YOI - I think everyone’s OTP is Victuuri.

11) Who is your current OTP?

Victuuri.

17) Who was your first OTP and are they still your favourite?

Since Boueibu is my current fandom- I immediately was drawn to Enatsu since s1 had a relatively large focus on them but I’ve kind of fallen out of actively shipping them. I like them as a couple and I think they’re def boyfriends material but they’re definitely a comfortable ship. Their personalities are just… drama-free, so their relationship to me just seems like a quiet background relationship. IoRyuu is a little more volatile and I really like ships where there is a lot of between-the-lines interpretation and potential for conflict. Also I just really like the Beppus

21) What was the first fanfic you ever wrote?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. The aformentioned ‘Nice of Me to Drop In’ FMA OC Mary Sue Self insert fic. Definitely the first one I ever published on the interwebs. Although I think TECHNICALLY my very first one was a Pokemon story that I was writing for a little kid neighbor of mine back when I was like… 11. I think I had just gotten a computer in my room and I remember typing it up and drawing some cover art for it… it was basically an expanded version of the episode where Meowth and Pikachu were handcuffed together or something… except there were more Pokemon involved and ALL of the characters were friends. Like Brock and Tracey were both with Ash and Misty and all of the Team Rocket people were friends for some reason. Idk I was a weird child.

Ohhh maybe a tie for the FMA fic was a Code Lyoko one I wrote around the same time called ‘Desert Rose’. I can’t remember now which was published first because I deleted them all. Another Mary Sue OC fic but I actually am still kind of proud of how I expanded the Lyoko universe in my head. I came up with new areas to Lyoko and like a central region and how they all connected. Nevermind the fact that the girl with a CAT THAT COULD OPERATE THE COMPUTER was the main character and obviously I shipped her with Odd because YumiUlrich and JeremieAeilita were OTPs. It was weird.

25) What’s your most popular fanfic?

If the story was still up it might have been ‘Nice of Me to Drop In’ because that fic still haunts me. Buuut it’s either ‘Naptime’ or ‘Desire’, one of my two Hunny x Haruhi fics from my Ouran days that I left up on ff.net for posterity. I have no desire to go read the cringe and find out which one has more hits but I bet it’s the G-rated ‘Naptime’ cuz ‘Desire’ is a) the first M rated Hunny x Haruhi fic on ff.net EVER and b) really really bad porn written by like, 16-year-old me. Oops. It’s a smidgen OOC on the part of Haruhi if I remember right buuut I actually still stand by the idea that Hunny is not as childlike as he seems.

Oh dear maybe that’s why I like Yumoto so much. Similar character type. OTL

27) What do you hate more: Coming up with titles or writing summaries?

I feel like I’m horrendous at both but lately it’s titles that are giving me trouble. 2 of the 3 Boueibu fics I’ve written had different working titles that got changed the second the story went up to be published. I’m having a brain fart and can’t remember them but both ‘All the Pretty Little Horses’ and ‘Completely’ were titled something really stupid. And your giftfic was ‘?’ until I decided on the central theme lol.

36) What’s your favourite genre to write?

I don’t like reading romance novels but I love writing shippy stuff. Tension, build….smut

40) What do you struggle the most with in your writing?

Pacing in longer works, definitely. Also just… keeping up with it. I am a horrible procrastinator and if I don’t actually have a deadline with external consequences then I never get anything done. I can’t set my own deadlines because I can always move them. I can’t get my family or friends to set them for me because I know they’ll forgive me if I fail (how horrible lol). I have tons upon tons of unfinished fics from fandoms past sitting somewhere in the depths of my word documents folder and about as many original short stories. I have so many ideas but because I get easily distracted and also because I am now working full time and suffer from typical adult exhaustion I can only put a fraction of them on paper.

My inner critic is also a fucking bitch. I can’t get her to shut her face long enough to write a sentence sometimes. Again, I have to have a deadline looming before I can put her on mute most times. If I have infinite time, she doesn’t shut up and makes me rewrite a sentence 100 times because it sounds stupid.

41) List and link to 5 fanfics you are currently reading:

Ahahahaha… I don’t have 5 simultaneously because I can’t just… not finish reading something before moving onto the next one. I don’t also read things that are unfinished unless they sound REALLY interesting because I’m stupid impatient. But I guess for my current fandom (Boueibu) I’ll link 5 fics I read recently that I liked!

1) Pink Blood - @magiccatprincess (okay actually this is one I’m going to read soon because it looked interesting… so it fits the question lol)

2) tuesdays - @vagarius (because how can I not love something written for me?

3) Liar - BlackJoker77 (A whoooole lot accomplished here in not a lot of words. Also, Yumoto character study/reading between the lines? Yush.)

4) ….. ok I ran out of ideas. I don’t bookmark anything OTL. I’ll come back to this question at another time with an ACTUAL answer.

46) If someone was to read one of your fanfics, which fic would you recommend to them and why?

I’m most proud of ‘Completely’ at the moment- I really like how I pulled off Ryuu’s voice and it’s most definitely a scene I wanted to see written… so I’m happy that I was able to provide that scene

50) How did you get into reading and/or writing fanfiction?

It was basically an extention of RPing for the writing portion of it- ‘Nice of Me to Drop In’ was basically a cleaned up RP and when it wasn’t rping it was fan gratification for the other early fics I did. As a kid I used to (and still sometimes do) make up stories in my head when I was about to go to sleep, and a lot of them were episodes of my favorite shows that I wanted to see. So I’d put some of them on paper. And then it moved into the ~romance~ category; I was a hopeless romantic as a teenager and like a lot of teenage girls I was kind of horny so fanfiction was a way to explore my sexuality in the comfort of my own head, basically. I still like me a good smutfic and bonus points if it’s romantic AND smutty. My bf can definitely tell when I’ve been reading something naughty….

51) Rant or Gush about one thing you love or hate in the world of fanfiction! Go!

Okay, Imma do both! And I have 2 things to rant about because I can’t shut up.

Rant: This is more of a thing that I hate about MYSELF reading fanfics, but I hate that I get turned off of fics so quickly because of writing style. When I can push past beginners writing mistakes or mediocre quality writing I can sometimes find gem fics with plots/characterizations I find adorable, but more often than not I click out of fics after just a few sentences because I can’t stand poor writing. And I feel so elitist about it! Fanfics are free, fan-generated content. A lot of fanfics are written by kids or beginner writers. I have to keep reminding myself that not every fanfic author has gone to school for writing. They may not know the conventions of literature. They may not realize that they’re head-hopping in the middle of paragraphs. They may not know the proper way to punctuate dialogue (and I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW until grad school!!!!). If I let mistakes get in the way of content I may miss out on an up and coming writer. And lord knows I was horrendous when I first started. Everyone starts somewhere. I hate that it takes me so long to get out of teacher/writing student mode and truck through some writing that may not technically be the best but their heart is in the right place.

Rant2: I don’t like how isolated fanfiction can feel sometimes. It seems like people don’t comment on fics as much as they used to, and I see these posts going around on tumblr about how authors LOOOOOVE comments and want more of them but then comments just… don’t appear. It’s not so hard to post one thing you really liked about the story, and even one thing you didn’t like. Comments help authors grow.I also don’t like how it’s so hard to find a beta reader or three to bounce ideas off of and proofread your work.

Gush: I love communities. I love the events fanfic authors put together. I love how when communities get tight-knit how everyone builds each other up and gives one another ideas. I just love fanfiction in general, really

aaaaaand SHEW. That was a lot. BUT DEF NOT TOO MUCH

for the fanfic ask: how about 23, 43, and 44?

Splee!

23) I don’t want to sound cocky but any of my published fics I’m super duper proud of; I can never finish anything so whenever I actually get something done I’m like MUST POST NAO THIS IS THE BEST THING EVAR. Buut if I had to pick I’m probably the most proud of ‘Completely, Absolutely, Positively, Unequivocally…’ right now because I feel like I nailed Ryuu’s voice and provided a scene that I really wanted to read, myself. A lot of the boueibu fics I’ve found are pre-established relationship fics which are super cutesy but I LOVE buildup and layering in fanon on top of canon. Two of my favorite things in fic and idk I think I pulled it off well. ^^; The response to it has been pretty nice, as well.

43) OH GOSH. I uh- I’m super new to most fandom communities so I haven’t gotten to talk to a lot of people yet buut I super admire the prolific authors of any community… it seems like I see a new @magiccatprincess Boueibu fic every week and @acequeenking has SO MUCH MATERIAL I am envious. Their meta is also fabulous and even tho I’m not as much in the Mass Effect fandom anymore (which will probably change once Andromeda comes out) I still remember their thoughtful prose style. :3 And anybody who can dedicate so much time and effort into fan communities are super inspiring. It makes me want to stick with my projects both fan and personal and see them through to the end.

44) FOR BOUEIBU I GOT A TON.

It seems like Yumoto gets ignored by a lot of the fandom, and though I can understand the need to focus on other characters because canon is basically ‘THE YUMOTO SHOW’ I think there’s a lot more to his character than meets the eye. Ergo, any ship with him in it I feel needs more attention. HaruMoto and/or AkiMoto and/or BeppuMoto OT3 have a lot of material to build from from season 2 and I just want to see our little Cinnamon Roll get some cutesy lovins’. On a related note, because basically any ship flies in the Boueibu fandom I’d like to see some other creative Beppu pairings set post-s2. Perhaps one of the twins with Akoya or Kinshirou could be interesting… Kinshirou and the twins, character-arc wise, have a lot in common with the unrequited feelings arcs and the desire to create a new world.

I also want to see more of the OT3s in general. Seems like KinAtsuEn and AkoIoRyuu are popular OT3s but there isn’t a lot of material for them. I also think there could be some ‘rivalry to romance’ arcs for AkoRyuu but I know it’s so hard to picture Ryuu with anyone other than Io for a lot of the fandom so… lol. I do have an idea for that one, though.

Don’t have any ideas for any of my other fandoms… so that’s about it. Thanks for the ask
