@cassiopeiasara replied to your post “Watching Law & Order SVU for the first time ever...”:

EVER?!

​LOOK! I tried to watch SVU like 15 years ago but I couldn't make it through the pilot because I was so bored. And then not long after, Community did its Law & Order (original flavor) parody episode and, once again, I was SO BORED. To which I said, 'Kudos to them! They obviously nailed the vibe, and obviously the entire Law & Order franchise is not for me.'

Flashforward to the present day when we're eyeball deep in the streaming era of hell and I'm bored, but some new gifsets of Benson were crossing my dash -- and I think, 'Maybe I should give that show another go.'

Three weeks later, I'm already in S4 :P

This isn’t super specific but I feel like you’d be really into having a reading nook with soft blankets and a stack of poetry collections.

That sounds lovely! Blankets are extremely important to my well-being.

HEARTSTOPPER! ;). But for real what’s an AU you’re dying to see that hasn’t popped up yet? And/or what are some of your fave tropes you think nick and Charlie would be so good for?

HEARTSTOPPER!

I love magical realism so I’d love some of that. I have a magical realism fic I’m almost ready to post, and I hope more come after that because I love them so much!

I think celebrity AUs are also really fun. I’m sure some are out there that I just haven’t found yet. Oh, and tutoring fics are so full of pining potential, but I get why that’s hard since Charlie is the more academic of the two but is also a year younger.

I’m sure I’ll end up thinking of a ton of other AUs later because my brain’s dumb like that.

Oh, I want to see them all playing D&D more! We had the guest comic, but I wanna flesh that out more. What are their classes and races?! Nick Nelson is so extremely paladin-coded, and Darcy’s for sure a rogue. And what’s the party dynamic?!

Truly one of my favorite tropes is nerd/jock so they already fulfill that. I love fake dating as well, I think that’s a great one for them.

I keep thinking about that line after the confrontation with Ben about them getting locked in the building; I’d be down for a locked in kind of thing. Or trapped in an elevator is always fun, especially if they’re each other’s crush in passing and then they get to actually connect. Maybe one’s on the way to a date and decides not to go after they get out!

Amnesia works well with them, I think. Like, Nick doesn’t remember coming out but feels so drawn to Charlie anyway and they fall in love again.

I mean, they ARE soulmates, so that works trope definitely works.

Oh, secret admirer would be fun. Whoever is receiving the messages talks about it to the other in form and it’s a lot of pining and some big moment of “I wish it was you” but it is him!

I got a lot of half-formed ideas, as you can see. There’s also some AUs/tropes I like that I’m currently writing…

Yell about Heartstopper with me!

4, 13 and 19

4. What’s a word that makes you go absolutely feral?

as a descriptor: tenderly. it encompasses so much and can be interpreted differently by each person who uses/reads/hears it.

13. What is a subject matter that is incredibly difficult for you write about? What is easy?

Oddly enough, I don't really have any "incredibly difficult" themes....maybe I'm just a lazy, avoidant writer. Posting said matter is a little different, though. I can depict darkness and the ugly side of human nature fairly easily, but when it comes to sharing those depictions, I do hesitate sometimes because I am a bit protective of my readers and I don't want them to feel triggered by something I write (as inevitable as I know that will be sometimes).

The easy stuff: pining. The little gestures with big implications. I love every aspect of it.

19. Tell me a story about your writing journey. When did you start? Why did you start? Were there bumps along the way? Where are you now and where are you going?

Ah, the journey. Started at age five. My mother still has the story somewhere. Stick figures drawn and colored in on looseleaf paper. The Tale of Three Brothers. I don't remember the plot other than it was vaguely reminiscent of Cinderella. I started writing almost as soon as I could actually write, and before that I would regale strangers with my tall tales. It's always been a compulsion to save my sanity, I think. I won't get into too much detail, but at 18, I went through a traumatic event, and my reaction (once I was safely locked in my car, still too shaken to drive) was to write down what had happened to me, in the form of a poem. I needed to exorcise, to understand it.

As far as bumps...there has been a learning curve, and fanfiction gave me a place to push out and hone my craft. It also gave me a chance to interact with other readers/writers, and having that feedback, having those outside eyes, has made me see strengths and weaknesses in my storytelling (my partner, whom I met via fanfic, still teases me over my most-used descriptor phrase, which is apparently a hallmark in every story I write). Now, I am in a place where I am very happy with my voice and less worried about rules. I trust my voice and my story compass. But I still get anxious about what readers will think (of the story, of me) and whether or not I'm telling a story worth sharing. I am currently in a moment when I can't write as much or as often as I would like, and it's taking a toll on my mental wellness, tbh. But I know it's a season and I'm trying to push past whatever anxiety or guilt I might feel. I want to eventually be a full-time writer, and I'm planning on releasing an original work via Amazon's serial publishing site, Vella, in late fall 2022.

1. My fave fic of yours. It’s a toss up between A Dark Ocean and Where Roses Bloom. Your swan queen is just my favorite swan queen. Also not only is where roses bloom a delightful fic but your whole stardust series is 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾. Not to mention I just have fond memories of reading those stories and that time in cartinelli fandom. (Each Kiss an Inspiration was posted the day after my bday btw). Anyway you’re the best and I’m forever in awe of your talent. 💜

I loved reading this note and am so happy to have received it from you! I remember those magic Cartinelli days - dang, that first season of Agent Carter was so much fun. And the writing that came out of that first season was phenomenal, from you and from so many authors! It's funny too because I really, really loved Steve and Peggy, and maybe because I loved their love I wanted Peggy to continue to have MORE love and then bam, enter Angie. I liked giving Angie a backstory bigger than what the show provided, with a house full of family to go home to during her quest for independence and success. And even more than that, a found family of queer friends and good neighbors who would go to bat for her any day of the week.

No, YOU'RE the best! <3

@cassiopeiasara replied to your post “@cassiopeiasara replied to your post “Alright...”:

A good plan. Also would totally be reading this fic if I could have made it through the series but the show was so not for me

​OMG I totally understand that! Let me tell you, if someone had sat me down with the pilot episode and said 'Let's watch Lucifer! It's great!', I would've walked out when Linda tried to jump his bones in the middle of that police interview -- and that's assuming I hadn't walked out sooner. Because like what the everloving fuck???

But nOoOoOo, I stumble ass backwards into this show when both my spouse and my mom were rewatching the entire series before the last season dropped. They were both in S3. It was year 2 of the pandemic, and I had already stumbled ass backwards into my spouse's rewatch of both The Originals and Fraiser and got hooked on both enough to watch the rest of the series with him so like my bar for watchable television was so goddamn low when I watched my first Lucifer episode.

Also S3 had Charlotte Richards played by the very, very pretty Tricia Helfer and like I'm really supposed to walk away from that? And then S4 gives me EVE and which leads to MAZE/EVE and they've got the bullshit soulmate vibes with Lucifer/Chloe going on WHICH YOU KNOW I'M WEAK FOR and I was just screwed.

It was months after finishing S6, that I finally went back and watched it all from the beginning and HOLY SHIT was that rough through S1 :S Do I think it was the correct starting point for all of the characters? Yes. It's not like Parks and Rec where the show was still clearly trying to figure out who these characters are. Lucifer knew who the characters were and (roughly) where they would be going by the end of the series. I just hate them all in S1 lol

So could I ever recommend Lucifer to anyone? No. I don't know how I could without a million caveats. I don't know how anyone got hooked on this to begin with, let alone get hooked enough to get it picked up by Netflix after Fox canceled it. But I'm glad they did, because the character arcs were solid and the use of parallels in the storytelling hits all my meta-loving buttons.

But also there's a reason the show never caught my interest until I tripped and fell into the middle of someone else's rewatch. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#cassiopeiasara #reply #so sorry for the long info dump #but seriously I blame The Originals for making me so susceptible to Lucifer #cause after watching all 5 seasons of The Originals; Lucifer looks fucking fantastic in comparison! #Though weirdly both shows REALLY sucked during their third season #Like I do not understand how S3 of Lucifer got me to watch the rest of the series except that Tricia Helfer really is that pretty #and that kept me watching long enough to want to know what the hell was going on with Lucifer and Chloe

8. What I like about your writing-you are the queen of what I can only describe as measured honesty. Like there’s a realness to your prose while also an understanding that story requires something different than a play by play of real life. Also you’re clever. 💜

😭😭😭😭

Thank you so much. This is one of the kindest and most helpful things anyone has ever said about my writing.

Book tube AU? 👀👀👀

So sometimes when I’m falling asleep, I imagine fic plots in my head. Sometimes it’s a fic I’m already working on but sometimes it’s a new idea. Then I end up waking up and jotting down half-coherent notes, which is what this outline is.

The idea is that everyone still knew each other in school, but Nick and Charlie never sat next to each other so they just crushed from afar. In the nebulous future (realistically during uni years), Isaac has a relatively popular booktube channel, maybe 90k. So known but not necessarily influencer famous. Tara and/or Darcy watch him because they still keep in touch with Elle and heard about the channel through her.

Isaac has Charlie on as a guest from time to time and during one appearance, they make an offhand comment about Charlie having had a crush on a rugby lad. So Tara and/or Darcy, knowing about Nick’s crush on Charlie, tell Nick he would be very interested in Isaac’s latest video. And then he loses his mind watching it.

That’s all I have so far. It’s basically the backstory and very beginning of a fic, so I’d definitely need to develop more of a plot and fill in some plot holes I noticed just typing out that summary. But I love the idea of Charlie admitting his crush publicly, not realizing a smitten Nick was watching.

Here’s a list of fics I’ve started, send me any questions or thoughts!

Which stat matters most to you (if at all!): subscriptions, kudos/favorites, comments, bookmarks, word count, or hits?

I think it's kind of a tie between comments and bookmarks. Mainly because that's where the most interaction with readers happens. I love writing something that people want to discuss and analyze (and half the time they come up with better/deeper meaning that what I intended, and that is always a delightful surprise, to see something from a different angle), and getting a chance to nerd out further with like minds. I'll occasionally look at bookmarks to see how many people have kept a fic for a rainy day, and I love reading any tags they put on it (I have someone whose tags actually better encapsulate my fics than the ones I put on the fic itself 😅), because that also gives me feedback about what people love and what brings them back.

I honestly try not to look at hits, because then I compare it to kudos/comments/everything else, and sometimes that can be disheartening and puts me too far into my head.
