Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love❤
Aww thank you!! I actually got this ask twice, and I've got my suspicions as to who are the ones that sent it to me :P you guys are very sweet <3
1- Silent Haunting (1856 words, Heart Pirates, One Piece)
When a home is loved enough, it might draw the attention of a guardian, a protector spirit. The Polar Tang happens to be haunted.
This is one of my best-received fics; it was born out of the love I felt after reading Gallus' fic Hearth God. It's basically about Corazon's ghost being a guardian spirit for the Heart Pirates, overall a concept I doubt I'll ever have enough of.
2- Careful (the sea listens) (1981 words, Heart Pirates, One Piece, read tags)
Shachi and Penguin play on top of a tree, the day the sea recedes. Penguin is the older one, the responsible one. The one who puts himself in danger. So he climbs down the tree. In which Penguin drowns, but refuses to die.
This one is technically uncomplete (1 chapter posted out of 3 outlined), but I've been told it reads as an open-ended one-shot anyway. I wrote it in less than 24 hs (which is very rare for me), and I think I tend to write horror better than fluff, so I'm quite proud of this one!
3- A brief guide in how to make your Captain laugh (5547 words, Heart Pirates, One Piece)
Five times the Hearts get Law to smile, and one time they get him to laugh.
I think most of my One Piece readers know me for this fic in particular! Also uncomplete (though I've been making progress with the following chapters now that I'm done with most of my zine fics!). It's a silly fic, but it's funny. One of these days I'd like to sit down and properly edit/rewrite it so it matches my current writing skill, but for now it is what it is.
4- You can hide a lot about yourself (but honey, what're you gonna do?) (897 words, Zach & Zorian, Mother of Learning)
Zach and Zorian grieve, lost in the memories of those gone, but at least they grieve together.
This fic is pretty old now, but MoL is still so very dear to me and I can't just let go. Even though it's pretty short word-count wise, I think this one still packs a bit of a punch. It's in a bit of a competition with Bound by the life you left behind in regards to readers saying I broke their hearts/am evil/owe them emotional compensation/etc (sorry not sorry! mwuhahaha <3). MoL fandom is so small but whenever someone comes along and leaves comments on all my fics, or likes 150 of my old posts, or leaves me an anon ask thanking me for writing fics for the fandom... Idk man, it's an ecstatic feeling. I might not be very active in this fandom these days, but it'll always feel like home to me.
5- Nightshades (2122 words, Trans Imaya Kuroshka, Mother of Learning)
Imaya Kuroshka knows who she is. She knows what she wants. But sometimes it’s just so hard to ask for it.
The Imaya fic!!! It's definitely not one of my best ones, story-wise, but writing this story was so very cathartic for me at the time, and it still feels very self-indulgent and comforting in all the right ways. It was also quite a pleasant surprise to receive so much support for my trans Imaya headcanon 🥺<3 you guys are the best
To be clear this list isn't really in a particular order or anything, and there are many fics that might've shown up here on another day. I'm also more of a one-shot writer, meaning it's common for me to end up with multiple one-shot fics that deal with the same themes/topics, and that makes this an even harder decision, so nothing set in stone and all.
Thanks again for giving me a chance to talk about my silly little fics! 💛💛💛

top 10 best characters from fear street & why?
Okay my simp list and my best character list is a little different so don't be too surprised but here you guys go :)
Top Ten Best Fear Street Characters And Why (Spoiler Alert)
1. Josh Johnson
Tumblr media
Josh, to me, was probably the most enjoyable character to watch over all three movies. I love the horror buff characters in movies, and I think he perfectly embodied that trope. Every time I saw him, I felt like I was seeing a little Randy (who is one of my all-time favorite horror characters) and I was rooting for him to live specifically. He was the one that recognized it was the curse, and is basically the reason they were able to stop it. Without him, they'd all be dead. He also saved Sam's life by realizing that you can survive after seeing Sarah. Besides that, I think he was a totally relatable character and him repeating the combo over and over to help with his anxiety? Absolutely golden. Not to mention, he has some of the best dialogue in the movies (i.e. "wanna help us kill sheriff Goode?"). Overall, 10/10 character I love him he's my comfort character
2. Sarah Fier
Tumblr media
WE STAN SARAH FIER IN THIS HOUSE. Not only does she sacrifice herself for the woman she loves, but she also curses the man responsible for her death for over three hundred years. The absolute spitefulness is enough to stan. Not to mention, that she's the reason ending the curse is possible. She was the first person to find out, and she made sure that one day it would end. Also, her monologue in the church??? "I don't fear the devil. I fear the neighbor that would accuse me. I feel the mother that would let her daughter hang...if they want a witch, I'll give them a witch" This entire monologue had me screaming and even having to listen to it again to type it out was making me, like, VIBRATE
3. Cindy Berman
Tumblr media
While I will admit that Cindy annoyed me in the beginning, her character arc???? Absolute AAAAAAA material. Watching her not only haul ass in the beginning the second things got hairy, kick Tommy hard enough to cause a cave-in, and then go from freezing to doing what she needed to do????? I was screaming, I was crying, I was in love. The persistence?? The sisterly-love?? The growth and reparation of her friendship with Alice?? A+ A+ A+ I'd argue that she's the character that goes through the most growth over the movies, and that just satisfies my writers brain, y'know? Just watching a character actually react properly in a horror movie is enough to get them into my top three, and I'd definitely have her on my horror movie survival team
4. Deena Johnson
Tumblr media
Deena is the dumbass lesbian representation I've been begging for and I was here for it throughout all of the movies. Pretty much all of her problems are her fault and honestly!! Sometimes it be like that. I loved this character more for having real, genuine flaws, and it was so refreshing to see a lead final girl that isn't perfect. (Because, due to horrors own tropes, they usually have to be in order to survive) I also love that she's moody-angry-teenage-girl rep as well, and the scene where she put on her headphones and Radiohead started- literal poetic cinema. She gets extra points because she's the one that stabbed Goode and ended the curse. And, while she doesn't have much of a character arc, watching her love story with Sam??? She'd quite literally do anything for her girlfriend and that resonates very heavily with me stan her forever I am still crying over her bringing cheeseburgers to Sarah's rock
5. Tommy Slater
Tumblr media
Besides me having a huge crush on him, again, his story just- the corruption arc kills me. Watching him go from being described as "sweet Tommy", being looked up to by the kids, and overall being one of the nicest characters in the entire series to being possessed? Going on an axe-murdering rampage? Honestly heartbreaking. But, also, he do look good holding that axe ayeeeeeeee *fuckboi face* (I'm kidding I'm kidding I'm kidding I'm kidding I'm kidding)
6. Ziggy Berman
Tumblr media
It's legally required for her to be on this list because she's one of our final girls. I absolutely adored the way they characterized her. Everything from the "now we're even" to the David Bowie obsession to the Stephen King references? This was one of the characters where I was just like "I can see a real person being like this" and just- she was literally ready to pour a whole bucket of paint on a girl knowing that if she got one more strike she'd be sent home. Gotta respect. And, watching her go in on Cindy definitely made up for some points on the both of them. While I'm overall just a fan of mean-delinquent-girls in movies, I loved watching her repair her relationship with Cindy ("loud and clear, ma'am" lives in my head), and I loved how the movies showed how PTSD can effect a person even ~20 years later. Even though I absolutely loved her in 1978, she's lower on my list because I think she was severely under-utilized in 1666. But, alas, she's still on it :)
7. Alice
Tumblr media
THE PUNK GIRL OF MY DREAMS- ahem. Do I think Alice deserves a spot on the best character list just because she's hot? *plays boss of me by they might be giants* anyways- perfect character to place along Cindy because not only does she act as the audience that wants to tell Cindy to shut up sometimes, but she also brings a whole new emotional depth to both of them. She forces Cindy to confront her past and to keep herself honest, while simultaneously not doing it herself until Cindy does it first. When she said "the fun is as real as your polo shirt" I just,,,,,sad. And, that she wanted to help end the curse even though she has a broken leg? Extra points for determination. Is overall just a really fun character to watch and responsible for finding the hand so she's gotta be in the top ten
8. Martin
Tumblr media
Funniest character in the whole movie, hands down. I know Simon was the character relief for most of 1994, but "let me get my coat" beats everything Simon said imo. Also, let's be honest, he was the saving grace for the ending of 1666. After the Pilgrim scenes, it was dragging for me and Martin was one of the major characters keeping it interesting. He gets points for surviving the first massacre in 1994, helping kill Goode, and consistently being the funniest person to watch all throughout 1666
9. Sam Fraser
Tumblr media
I'm an elder gen z so I don't like saying every meme I've seen on this app but Sam truly reads as a poor little meow meow to me. This bitch goes through so much and she just wanted to eat her jello!!! She has to be on the best character list because the fact that she was still alive at the end? Iconic. She gets like three concussions, possessed by the devil, has to actually die at one point? Also, she gets extra points for being willing to self-sacrifice for her friends. And the fact that when talking about how she was going to have to die she literally basically said let's send it??? Like I have major respect for this character and I'm so glad she got the ending she deserved
10. Kate Schmidt
Tumblr media
Listen, I like mean girls in horror and I think Kate succeeds as being one of the funniest characters in the entire series as well. Just the "and everyone will be so, so sad" was hilarious to me. I love the duality of this character, with being a miss perfect (valedictorian?) cheerleader simultaneously while selling drugs on the side. And, I know it was fucked up, but there have definitely been some times in horror where I've been like "this could all be over if we just left that one to die". So, while it was fucked up to do that to Sam (and did cause some major confliction on whether I liked her or not for me), she technically wasn't wrong? And, she was more than willing to do what she could to save Sam when she realized there was a way to save her (and died in the process of doing so), so I think she redeemed herself. Overall, Kate was a funny and complex character and I loved her scenes :)
