What is a piece of symbolism in your fic?

#Anne’s (personal) bitterness #Anne’s downfall would need a bishop and one ‘queen’ would have to fall #Lampshading .#leopards are fiercely protective is one way you can take that. or it’s more like it’s holding onto the royal shield like it’s a life raft #(historically accurate symbolism bcus it was her symbol and it was on that clock)#anon #NT asks #the promise of their relationship vs the reality #fic writers ask meme #also ‘we’ in and of itself #it’s the royal we so Henry uses it with pretty much everyone except anne #anne uses it with almost all but her intimates #but when she says ‘w e are unwell’ to Mary Fitzroy it can have two meanings … 💔#‘We’ are unwell as in both of them. Together #their marriage is unwell their love is unwell etc

for the ask game, maybe 2, 6, and 42? for Monsters Splitting Hairs?

thanks! -⚙️

2. Go to your AO3 “Works” page, to the sidebar with all the filters, and click the drop-down arrow for “Additional Tags.” What are your top 3-5 most used tags? Do you think they accurately represent your writing habits?

Angst, Monster Dust (Undertale), Fluff, Hurt/Comfort, Canon-Typical Violence.

Yeah that's... That's accurate. Monster Dust is less relevant now but I wrote a LOT of Undertale fics.

6. What’s one fact about the universe of [MSH] that you didn’t get a chance to mention in the fic itself?

Oh pfff. Uhhh... I'm trying to think of things that won't show up in the plot later in a major, spoiler-y way.

In the world of MSH, the world influences people as much as people influence the world. Magic is, for lack of a better word, contagious. More contagious some places than others.

A hunter wakes up one day after killing a salamander and they have scales, horns. A host of villagers fend off an assault of phantoms only to fight the next day some of them burn in sunlight. A tinkerer who works with redstone finds at some point they bleed it instead of blood. Magic is a disease, and the people who catch it are the people who are steeped in it day after day. The war was just as much about people as it was about the idea of order vs chaos, of fear and control, and how being resistant to change means you will be ruled by the terror of it.

Needless to say, when the Baron came to rid the valley of monsters, a lot of the Monster Hunters fled the valley in his wake. Too many eyes with split pupils, long hair hiding horns, and gauntleted hands belying claws.

42. Have you ever received a comment that particularly stood out to you for whatever reason?

Yeah. On Hound's Tooth, Ch. 10, there was someone who commented about how Doc's struggle in those chapters made them think of their own hearing implants, and how they'd gone through a similar struggle with the difference between their own ability and their prosthetics. When I wrote Hound's Tooth, I knew very little about prosthetics and the struggles people faced when it came to coping with them. Most of the experiences I drew on for the story was my personal struggles with trans body dysphoria, and some conversations I've had with a friend of mine who has an insulin pump.

It really meant a lot to me that, not only were they willing to talk about their implant and their insecurities involving it, but also that they were able to empathize with Doc. I was really writing something outside of my depth, and the fact that they could still relate to his struggle really bolstered my self-esteem in writing things I'm not familiar with.

Like it's fanfic. I know it's just fanfic. But media is a powerful tool for making people feel seen, and there are a lot of my personal struggles I have only ever seen in fanfic, popular media being what it is. I'm glad I could contribute to that.

Ship: Makoami Prompt: Coffee 😳👉👈

"If you drink any more of that, you'll never get to sleep tonight," Makoto murmurs into Ami's hair.

Ami ignores her wife and takes another giant, noisy gulp of coffee.

Makoto sighs in affectionate defeat. "At least let me make you a new pot."

Ami smiles and lifts her face for her victor's kiss.

hey honey! 💖 sambucky and 25. things you said in front of other people!

thanks for the ask, sweetheart <3 does something over 1k words count as a snippet oops (from this list)

"I just wasn't really feelin' it, y'know?" Sam laments to the circle of older ladies around him, sighing while they all nod along knowingly.

It's the first Thursday of the month, which means the local older women's book club is meeting in a small room off the church building where Sam's daddy had preached for twenty years, and, just like every first Thursday of the month that Sam's been in Delacroix since he was fourteen years old, Sam came by to help them set up tables and chairs for all the potluck food they bring with them.

And just like every first Thursday of the last six months since Sam and Bucky had rented a little house down here for when the world isn't on fire--last month excluded, given New York City, at least, was actually on fire--the first fifteen minutes of the local older women's book club is spent lightly interrogating Sam about his love life.

"How many of these dating app first dates have you been on, Sam?" Ms. Sheryl asks from beside him, her arms crossed over her chest.

Sam looks up at the ceiling and counts them in his head, each disappointing match after disappointing match. "Twelve in the last two months, Ms. Sheryl. Thirteen if you count the woman from NOLA I met at a jazz bar and had to leave after five minutes because an emergency mission came up. She unmatched me after that."

Ms. Sheryl nods, her lips pursed, and Sam thinks he might've accidentally just proved a point he didn't know she was making yet. "And how many of those got second dates?"

Sam's saved from having to answer that disheartening, kind-of-a-rhetorical question from the late arrival of Ms. Josephine, newcomer to both the book club and to Delacroix.

She'd moved here about a month and a half ago, about half a year after her husband had passed away, looking for a new start. Every interaction Sam's had with her thus far has been honestly lovely, and he already knows she's got a soft spot for Bucky given how much of her house he'd come over to help fix since she'd moved in. Sam's had his fair share of her "thank you" cooking, and knows full well she's as wonderful a cook as she is a lady.

"Evenin', ladies," she says, holding some kind of dish in her hand that smells downright heavenly. "And Sam," she adds with a wink, smiling when Sam takes the dish from her and sets it over on the table with the rest of the food. "What'd I miss?"

"Sam was just lamenting to us about his dating woes," Ms. Jackie replies, with a tone full of sympathy but a playful twinkle in her eye, taking Sam's hand and patting it soothingly when he comes to stand next to her, leaving his previous seat open for Ms. Josephine.

Sam laughs and squeezes Ms. Jackie's hand. "You've got a son about my age, right, Ms. Josephine? Is he single?"

All the other ladies in the room chuckle along at Sam's joke, but Ms. Josephine just looks confused. "Did something happen with you and Bucky?" she asks, concerned. "He didn't mention it when he came by to fix one of my hinges this morning."

Sam's eyebrows furrow this time around. "Not that I know of? Not unless something has happened in the last thirty minutes since I checked my phone, anyway, but he's not generally the type to call in any case."

Ms. Josephine's face morphs from confusion to contemplation, and she crosses her legs at her ankles and crosses her hands over her lap. "So are y'all in one of those relationships where you can date other people then? I saw some article about that a few weeks ago. Must have some real good communication between the two of you to make both that and all your superheroing work."

She sounds almost impressed, but Sam doesn't really have the mental capacity to acknowledge that right now, not when his brain got stuck on the word "relationships" applied to Bucky and himself.

He looks around the rest of the group to see if any of them are gonna correct her while he's still stuck in his state of shock, but finds all of them just looking vaguely amused.

He shakes his head minutely. "Ms. Josephine, Bucky and I aren't dating."

Her eyes go more than a little wide. "Wait, so you did call it off?"

Sam shakes his head again, a little more vigorously. "No, ma'am. We weren't ever dating in the first place. Did Bucky tell you we were?"

Ms. Josephine shakes her head right back. "Never explicitly, Sam, but it ain't exactly hard to tell when somebody's head over heels. He talks about you like you went and hung the moon for him. Just yesterday he came by and asked if I'd seen one of the recent news segments about you, gushing about how amazin' you look flyin' up there. 'He's so fast, and nimble, Ms. Josephine,' he said to me, all moony eyed. 'It's like nothing you've ever seen before. Sometimes I swear he looks like an angel when he's got his wings spread out.'

"And that's not even countin' the things he says about you when you've been home for a bit. He's always talkin' about whatever fishin' you've done recently, or charity work you've been doin' around here or in NOLA, or how excited you were to buy new cat toys the week before. Every time I ask him if he's got any special requests for thank you meals, he always asks for something with a spice level I'm still not sure he can handle, tellin' me all about how it's been one of your favorites since you were a kid. Bucky's spent at least four days a week at my house pretty much since I've moved in, Sam, and I'm pretty sure I know more about you than I do about him, given how much he talks about you."

Sam's world is starting to tilt on an axis, but he's saved from having to speak up by Ms. Jackie throwing in her two cents. "You know he hates the smell of the flowers he buys from me for y'all's table every week," she says, tone full of faux nonchalance. "Says they're a little too fragrant for his nose because of the serum, but he buys 'em anyway because you always smile when you see he's brought home fresh ones."

Ms. Sheryl's lips quirk up. "You know he replaced damn near every faucet in my house as payment for me helping him with some of the most complicated bits of that sweater he knit you for Christmas. Said it had to be perfect because he knew how cold you always get any time you have to go north of here."

Ms. Maybelle comes in with the final blow, and it hits Sam like the steel chair in all the WWE shows AJ insists on watching every week. "And it ain't like you don't do the same things neither, Sam. Every time I see you it's, 'Hey, Ms. Maybelle, how you been? You wanna see this cute picture I got of Bucky and the cats earlier? They fell asleep on the porch swing he built for us.' You spent the first five minutes of the book club session two months ago debating whether or not Bucky should grow his hair out because he wanted new opinions that weren't yours, and at least half of that was you trying to explain how nice he looked before with the long hair even though it was greasy, but how you like the way the short hair feels when he has his head in your lap on movie night."

Sam doesn't really know how he can defend himself here, but he's got some argument on the tip of his tongue about how their couch was just a little too small for the both of them and their cats, so the head in the lap was the obvious solution. He doesn't think it'll do much damage control, but he thinks he should at least make the attempt.

Instead, he turns back to Ms. Josephine kind of on autopilot. "He called me an angel?" he asks, his heart a little fluttery, and Ms. Josephine just smiles.

"I'll, uh, see you all here same time next month?" he asks as a kind of permission to leave. "I think I might need to go see what my roommate is up to."

"Bring your boy with you next time, Sam," Ms. Sheryl replies, nodding him towards the door. "It's much more fun to tease you both together."

Fic Writery Thing

I haven't done this one in awhile. Thanks for tagging me, @adhdprincess!

1. How many works do you have on AO3? 22! 2. What's your total AO3 word count? 967,602 3. What fandoms do you write for? These days, just TLOU, but I used to write a lot of LOTR, DW, SW ... there used to be variety. 4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos? Drifter's Dawn Snowqueen of Texas Drifter's Dusk If On a Clear Day A Door Once Opened 5. Do you respond to comments? Yep, always! 6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Probably Dawn, I guess? 7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? ... The Legend of Charro? 8. Do you get hate on fics? I don't get hateful comments, no. 9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Yeah, I write smut, but it's usually plot-driven. I'm not writing smutty one-shots these days. 10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? No, not my jam. 11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Yeah, and it was a fic I'd taken down, and the person had only posted as many chapters as they'd saved and swapped the fandoms. That was pretty hurtful, because they'd obviously liked my fic enough to save it, and it was in a very obscure fandom so I guess they thought nobody would see it and tell me. Also, readers really liked the story and were heaping praise on this person for it. Ouch. I contacted AO3. 12. Have you ever had a fic translated? No. 13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Yeah, I love collaborative fic writing. 14. What’s your all time favorite ship? I don't deal in absolutes, okay. :p 15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? If On a Clear Day, but that's only because I lost all my notes and I have no idea where that story was going anymore. 16. What are your writing strengths? I'm persistent. 17. What are your writing weaknesses? I'm persistent. 18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? Big yes! Thank you @bignosebushybrows who translates my Spanish dialogue in Snowqueen and makes the story so much richer for it, and to @flckrsoflight who translates into French for IO. With their help, I can add a layer of detail and authenticity I cannot achieve myself. xx (Can I also point out the work they actually put into it? Neither just blindly translates, they check with me for context and make sure it has the right flow and meaning, and say things like, 'okay but it would make more sense if...' etc. So like, major effort and care goes into it.) 19. First fandom you wrote for? I want to say Star Wars? By it honestly may have been Police Rescue. 20. Favourite fic you’ve written? That absolutes thing again! I really don't know. I try to challenge myself in a different way in each, so I feel they've each got favourite components for me?

20 questions for fic writers

I was tagged by @raina-at @discordantwords and @totallysilvergirl, thank you!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

20

2. What's your total A03 word count?

57, 682. Not a lot for 20 works, but 10 of them are 221b ficlets. I only have one fic over 10k (it's just over 11.3k).

3. What fandoms do you write for?

BBC Sherlock

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

Never Trust to General Impressions

Abditory

Feel My Heart Banging Like a Gun

Out of Every Nowhere

Forth They Went Together

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Yes, I do. I'm so thrilled to get them and appreciate it when someone takes the time to leave a comment. It makes me giddy, it does!

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I like to end on a happy, or at least hopeful, note but occasionally angst comes out on top. I think it's probably a tie between these two: Paperweight, which is Sherlock's POV when Molly gives him John's letter at the end of TST; and With Regrets, which is John's POV as he says goodbye to Sherlock in the hospital after the beating in TLD.

Both are 221b ficlets, so at least it's a sharp punch of angst and not an extended bout? Not kidding about that punch, though (sorry not sorry).

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

This is a tough one, but I think these are probably the happiest:

bitter, sweet

Feel My Heart Banging Like a Gun

Abditory

8. Do you get hate on fics?

No, thankfully. Hopefully that continues.

9. Do you write smut?

I love me some good smut, but I don't write it (yet). Certain bits in Feel My Heart Banging Like a Gun and Steady as They Go are the closest I've come so far, but they're not smutty.

10. Do you write crossovers?

No. I don't. One of my WIPs is a Stand By Me/The Body (Stephen King) fusion, but I'm not interested in writing any crossovers right now.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I'm aware of.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes, which amazes me! Two have been translated into Russian.

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

@splix71 and I began to plot out a Sherlock bounty hunter AU I had initially come up with back in 2019. We had so much fun coming up with names and theories and plot points, so much fun. Unfortunately, she had to step back due to health reasons (FUCK CANCER) and afterwards I couldn't bring myself to go back to it. I doubt I ever will, as clever as I think some of the things we came up with were. I don't know that there is a place anymore for Baker Street Bonds, Yarders Bail Service, or Reichenbach Bail, but I will always treasure the time we spent on it together (that she, a most amazing writer, wanted to write something with me, still blows my mind).

14. What's your all-time favourite ship?

Mulder/Scully and Sherlock/John.

15. What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I have a Sherlock/John hunt the Bogeyman fic I've been poking at for YEARS. I love a lot of what I've written, but I wrote myself into a corner and haven't quite figured out how to get out. At this point I despair of ever finishing it, but never say never.

16. What are your writing strengths?

221b ficlets. I think I've done well with these in conveying lots of emotion in little moments.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Clever case fic and complicated plots. I can also get a bit wordy in my beginnings sometimes (ironic, considering my ability to write a strong 221b ficlet) and need a gentle nudge to cut to the action.

Also, if I'm going to be brutally honest, I tend to walk away too quickly when I get stuck and don't make myself work out the problem right then. Hence my many languishing WIPs.

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

I've not done it yet and don't see it happening down the road either.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

For published fic, BBC Sherlock. There might be some self-insert stories with River Phoenix in my very distant past.

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

Ooof, this is a hard one because every finished fic is a victory for me. That said, I'll always have a soft spot for Abditory. I had been in love with Sherlock since 2011 and devoured fic at an unholy rate, but was never dared write my own until 2017, after the last series. Better late than never, right? I also really loved writing Never Trust to General Impressions, with its slice-of-life looks at Sherlock and John's evolving relationship in relation to canon (with a not-so-canon twist on TRF). Funnily enough, both are 5+1 fics.

This was fun! I have loved reading all of these from everyone too. I'm going to be That Person and tag everyone who wants to do this but hasn't been tagged yet. Please do share!

(question for fic writers) 5 about Monsters splitting Hairs (or potentially, 36? Because personally I feel like some scenes you do are very set in the visual/portrayal element of it (thinking about that scene with Hels punching a dent into his iron gauntlet after Tango drags Tanguish with him into the reflection) and feels almost like a storyboard, and I love it!)

5. What do you wish someone would ask you about Monsters Splitting Hairs? Answer it now!

A bit spoilery but:

When Hypno and xB were talking about the war, why did Hypno talk about monsters and beasts, while xB described people carrying axes and crossbows?

[The answer is xB is a monster whose village was attacked by humans, and vice-versa for Hypno. Hypno doesn't know xB is a monster, and as we've established in the plot, it's not exactly something you can talk about. There are a lot of folks in town of dubious monstericity that Ren has no clue about, and won't have a clue about until it becomes relevant. It's a fun character arc Ren has a trajectory for.]

36. Do you visualize what you read/write?

Yes! I'm a very visual person. For writing specifically, if I have an important scene coming up I'll choreograph it in my head uhhh... A lot. I actually have trouble writing scenes that I can't preplan visually [like the Big Argument I'm currently fighting with, which visually consists of walking down a road and nothing else].

Some of this stuff is just extra detail that I like to think about. That scene with Hels punching a dent in his gauntlet for example, wasn't preplanned or choreographed [a lot of my Tumblr shorts aren't], but I was thinking a lot about how hard I thought Hels would wanna punch someone who stole from him, and how to best show that outside of saying "and he was angry so he punched the bricks way too hard."

Who are some of the married couples who you think need fic 👀

Well anon, this might be a long list, so buckle up. 😭😭

Couples That Have Zero Fics (and my explanations on why they should):

Milwaukee Bucks - Khris Middleton/Giannis Antetokounmpo

Steph and Klay have played together for thirteen years, and behind them, Khris and Giannis have played together for eleven years. Their partnership is wonderful, so tender and soft. You just have to look at their photos together to see that. Giannis said that once Khris retires, it will be so sad for him, since he has never played a single game without him.

Brooklyn Nets - Cam Johnson/Mikal Bridges

They sparked a friendship in 2019, were on the Phoenix Suns together for four years, then they were traded ~together~ for KD onto the Nets. They do everything together, to the point where they've been called twins. They were even together playing at the FIBAWC last summer on Team USA!

Dallas Mavericks - Dwight Powell/Maxi Kleber

I don't know if you have ever gone into Mavs Tumblr, but Dwight and Maxi have so many intricate rituals together that I am surprised that nobody has ever written fic about them. They've both played together for seven years. There's lots of evidence that they both hang out off-court together, and a video of them playing golf together too!

New York Knicks - Jalen Brunson/Josh Hart

Are these two married...? I mean, they have old married couple vibes so I'm just going to sneak them in here anyway. If you've paid attention to the nba tumblr community rumbles, then you've seen them. I even made a text post meme on them. They were college roommates, then became friends, now they're on the same team, and they have a podcast together.

Oklahoma City Thunder - SGA/Dort and J-Dub/J-Will

They are new, so I understand why there's nothing. But, SGA and Lu Dort are both Canadian and they are open about their bromance. They have known each other since high school and were roommates together. They also play for the national team. Meanwhile, J-Dub and J-Will were drafted together, plus they have similar names and have a budding twin-like friendship.

Couples That Aren't Married But Are A Pair:

Luka Dončić and Devin Booker

Even though they don't have much history together irl, this gifset of them and also the text post meme I made (which...btw, is my most popular one so far) single-handedly proves that they need way more than one single fic written about them.

Couples That Have Fic But I'd Like More:

Boston Celtics - Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown

Denver Nuggets - Nikola Jokić and Jamal Murray

Chicago Bulls - Coby White and Patrick Williams

Houston Rockets - Alperen Sengun and Jabari Smith Jr. (I am very biased about this one, I'm afraid)

#this is a dangerous list for me to have #because as someone who writes very often #i would write fic for all the ones that don't have fic #but...i am the wrong writer because there would be no smut #and some of them really need smut lol #if someone wants to write badly written fic on any of these ships i'd read it #thanks anon!#i hope this satisfies your curiosity :)#ask #p.s. yes all of these ships are eventually getting a text post meme but it WILL take a while sorry about that 😭😭😭

I'm greedy, so 9 for the writing game;)

Of course you are....

9. a passage from a WIP

Lena chuckled, because, of course Kara loved 'singing with the muses'. She nodded and picked up the plate with potstickers from the service cart, just before following Kara to the bed. Kara found the movie and pressed play, only to look at Lena immediately. She didn’t ask for the potstickers, she waited for Lena to sink on the mattress next to her, and then interlocked their fingers together once the potstickers were safely on the mattress. Lena was happy to just… exist next to the Kryptonian, for the time being. She could at least try to see if it worked out, because for Lena, Kara was absolutely worth it. “You are my favorite too, by the way.” Lena whispered. “I know. Potsticker me?” “I don’t wanna use my fingers.” “That’s what she said.” “Oh God, you are terrible.”

"It's a myth, Teddy!" Bob exclaims, startling a flock of seagulls nearby.

Linda tries not to laugh; Teddy's in pain, after all.

Teddy hops around on one foot and almost falls over onto the dead jellyfish.

"If you really love me, Bob, you'll pee on my leg!"

"Oh my God."

1. Do you daydream a lot before you write, or go for it as soon as the ideas strike?

A little of both. My AuDHD brain will come up with story ideas at the weirdest times, often when I am nowhere near a keyboard. I try to jot down ideas and dialog snippets when they come to me, and then work them into something later. The best times are when the ideas come when I am able to sit down and write it all out at a real size keyboard that makes the clicky clacky noises of satisfaction.

7. Post a snippet from a wip.

::rubs hands together:: The letters part of this snippet got written long before the rest of this piece took shape.

From Chapter 1 of Verbanden & Geesten:

Then Kaz turned his attention to the last letter, figuring it would prove entertaining at the very least. The sender was listed as one Miss Mila Janderslat.

Brekker,

Inej writes of being deliriously happy. This seems to be your fault. Good job finally pulling your head out of your ass. Make sure you don't hurt her, or I'll come rearrange your bones.

Love and Waffles,

Nina

Snorting, Kaz was delighted to be correct about the entertainment value of Nina’s short missive. He took a moment to appreciate Inej describing herself as ‘deliriously happy’ as well. Out came parchment and his favorite pen. His reply wasn’t much longer, but it pleased him to be sniping with Nina once more, even over such distance. He addressed it to her new alias on purpose.

Dearest Miss Janderstat,

I appreciate your concern for the wellbeing of our shared friend. I hope you are being a kind and obedient fiance to your betrothed, as is befitting a young Fjerdan maiden. Djel forbid anything should put you or your betrothed into peril. May Djel watch over you both.

Sincerest Regards,

K.B.

10. Do you work on multiple wips or stick to one fic at a time?

I usually have two-three WIPs going at any given time. The most recently 'finished' WIP's get left alone for a bit so I can come back and do an edit run with fresh eyes. Then I am usually working on the next story in the series, or occasionally, a spin off or side story I hadn't planned on working on yet, but that my brain was like, OH HAI, HERE'S ALL THE DIALOG FOR THAT SCENE.
