Even my WIPs list is a WIP... send help

I’m only now just realising how many WIPs/half-baked ideas I have floating around in my fics folder on my laptop and I really really want to get to them... you know what? I’m going to give you all a list and talk a little about them in the hopes that it’ll a) get me excited about some of them and I’ll finish it faster, or b) you guys are interested about them and I’ll probably feel more confident in my writing and write some more... and hopefully I’ll stop adding ideas to it because I’m focusing on the existing ones lol. Also I’ve been tagged a short while back for a WIPs ask game but I think I did it the last time it circulated before this one so I’ll just do it like this instead lol.

Levi x Reader WIPs (one-shots and mostly SFW unless specified otherwise)

The Harbinger’s Premonition - a canonverse multichap fic where Reader is the grim reaper who collects the souls of dead Eldians and guides them to Paths, and Levi is the only person who’s ever been able to see them. Currently working on chapter 4 (very verryyyy slowlyyyyy)

Role reversal AU (captain Reader and civilian teashop owner Levi) (this one is well underway!)

Flatmates AU (in which Levi and Reader are in the same flat for uni accommodation - I’ve got a fair bit done for that one too)

Florist!Levi - I’ve got several hundred words written from a while ago, and I kinda miss writing lil grumpy florist/plant dad so I kinda want to pick this one up again.

Masseuse!Reader - the Scout veterans minus Levi have a weekly tradition to go to a massage parlour because they’re all stressed out as heck and Hange somehow convinces Levi to go to one. And you’re the pretty masseuse that got assigned to him for his appointment 👀 (this is more of a concept than an actual plot but I do want to write this!!)

Airport and author AU - okay so I’ve written like 500 words for this one and the document hasn’t been touched in months idk if I want to pick this one back up? The idea is cute but I just have bad writers block when it comes to that one for some reason

I also had ideas for six pieces that I was going to write for this year’s Kinktober, which obviously did not happen as I was moving back to uni and things were a little full on then. I definitely plan on writing these out but the question is when lol

... old requests from like months ago that i haven’t gotten around to/havent been inspired to write im sorry to those who requested those I will get around to those one day I swear 😂

Other WIPs

I’ve mentioned a few times on this blog that I want to get around to writing a Levi x OC fic set in canonverse, as sort of a canon rewrite. Tentative name ‘The Creed of the Godless’. It’s still very much in the early planning stages and has been for months because I’m a perfectionist and don’t want to start writing until I have every little detail planned and plotted lol. I have talked about it in this post and there’s a little more info you can find in my masterlist somewhere.

Not a WIP but I’ve been thinking about writing Furlan x Reader (listen I know the point of the No Regrets manga was not to drool at lines on paper but... I am very much drooling at lines on paper. Furlan is so goddamn fine in the manga and I need to write for him.)

(I also have a multi-chapter fic that I kinda want to drop though because I’ve run out of steam for it and nobody’s reading it anyway :/ it’s not Character x Character/Reader/OC or anything like that though, so I knew the reception would be lower but to be honest motivation to write it has not really been there so idk. Might orphan it. Feel kind of guilty because I know there were a few select people that were interested but I just... don’t really want to continue with it any more.)

Fic Writer Interview

Tagged by @crimsonseekers @hfbinks and @vriddy thanks guys!!!

Name(s): Bol

Fandom(s): Iddddddd say BNHA, and right now HxH but haven’t done anything for it yet I guess, annnd right now I’d say those are my current ones??

Where you post: AO3

Most popular one-shot (by kudos): okay so this was actually A revelation because I was sure it was one of my old voltron fics but it isnt???? it’s actually the second dabihawks story i wrote AND NOT BETAED AND SO FULL OF MISTAKES dsafsgdhfn. It’s Cheerleader romances arsonist (or vice versa) and im just realizing the amount of kudos now sadfgb thanks guys :’)

Most popular multi-chap (also by kudos): okay im going in to look but im p sure i know lol. ah holy shit. Okay so i’ts Accidental Dragon Acquisition whose 1 y birthday was recently!!

Favorite story you’ve written so far: withhh no doubtttt it’s my baby, mi mijo, the aple of my eye: Royal Heist. The amount of worked i put into this, working alongside my amazing, amazing beta, and how much i learned definetely made it my favorite work. Also the people that have read it seem to really like it so :’’’)

Fics you were nervous to post: ah definitely the first ones. Like, Hindsight and the already mentioned Cheerleader romances arsonist one. Also the first one i wrote for south park, The Coming Out Handbook, which is actually filled with some personal experiences asdvfgb. Im normally nervous with the first ones because im not sure yet how well im foing with the characters voices, but once i wrote one or two im comfortable :)

How do you choose your titles: OKAY SO. for long, multichapters i look for a song i like that overall is vaguely related to an important part of the plot, and take a sentence from it for each chapter. I really, really like doing this. I usually search for either funny references, memes, or in general stuff that would make me go oh, thats a weird title hmmm. I either have it one second or struggle for weeks to find them, but its okay!!!

Do you outline?: oh boy. Yes, yes I do. Especially for longer ones, I usually draw maps, schedules n time tables ot keep track of the plotlines and shit. Outlining is actually one of my favorite parts of writing!!!!! For shorter ones i usually just make sure to have some ideas for the main parts and just let it flow

Complete: omg!! 40 in ao3!!!! andddd one more i havent published yet??? i think that’s it

In-progress: uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh wait, id say 4, that i have to finish, and another 2 that i have to start this month adfvgb. but actively working on, 1.

Coming soon: after almost a year!! the second part of my Mahoutokoro series!!! which as i have just checked, i probably have some people waiting dscvcbng. and,,, who knows,,,, maybe something else,,,, who knows,,,, maybe if u your birthday is coming soon,,,, keep an eye out,,,,

Not started: 3, i think.

Prompts?: okay to be fair i dont really understand this part. If i use them?? yes?? sometimes?? if i have to?? or if i really like them?? but most of the time i go w my own shit

Upcoming work you’re most excited about: probably How to train your dragon. because im a sucker for validation asdsvfdgbf

SO! No pressure tags, do it if u feel like it!!!: @b1sexual because i want everyone to know what you do for outlines. @sleepwalkersqueen because im curious and @lonereedy cause im curious too and ily <3

THIS WAS FUN THANK U GUYS FOR TAGGING ME!!

fanfic writer tag game <3

helloooo <3 thank u for tagging me @hannie-dul-set this is so cute lol

ummmm! i think i will tag. @leejuyeeon and @seokmingiggles !! and as always anyone else who wants to <33

peum ~

1. what fandoms have you written for (but do not currently)?

omg lets see if i can do this in order. i think the first fandom i ever wrote fanfic for was creepypasta LMAOO and then... fairy tail? then 5 seconds of summer, then maybe it 2017?? voltron legendary defender, detroit become human, monster prom and mystic messenger kind of overlapped, the arcana !!! then my hero academia, haikyuu, a Little bit of demon slayer... i think thats it lol

2. what fandoms are you currently writing for?

seventeen is all for rn, but i’m thinking of also writing for mha again and adding jjk!!

3. how long have you been writing?

oh wow for like... probably around 6 years? maybe 6 and a half

4. on which platforms do you post your stories?

rn just tumblr, i used to post more actively on ao3 but i havent since i started writing for kpop

5. what is your favourite genre to write?

ahhh like !!! comfort fics!!! i think theres something really sweet in those unspoken feelings during moments you think you’ll never forget... the idea of being with someone and you’re just so sure they’re your favorite person, and then warmth that comes with that realization... wahh

6. are you a pantser or a planner?

oh it depends i think. for longer fics i like to plan them out, but i really wing it with like timestamps or shorter ones

7. one shot or multi-chapter?

ONE SHOTS. my god i fucking suck at multi-chapter shit LMAOO ive only done 1 series like that and it was so rough for me lol

8. what is the perfect chapter length in your opinion?

hm how do i explain this... anything that makes sense? however long it takes for it to feel like the chapter/fic is summed up or completed. i used to worry about word counts a lot but now i rarely pay attention to them, both in reading and writing

9. what is your longest published story? is it complete?

if we’re talking about multi-chaptered, then the color of you wins at 17k !! in terms of one shots, it’s for now; forever at 9k!

10. which story did you enjoy working on the most?

oh boy. i think... anything from the last like. 8 months? my svt stuff for sure!! i went a while without writing in between like january-late november 2020, and i was worried that my writing would suffer a lot... it took a sec for me to get back into the groove of things but i’m feeling happier than ever with the stuff i write now. i feel like ive matured about the way i approach my own writing and ideas, and how i do everything, and my fics make me really proud. ive started writing within different aus that i hadnt touched before, or talking about different feelings or ideas, etc... i really feel like ive grown with this most recent burst lol, and i love working on them! i get so hyped up when im in the middle of writing or even planning, im just so excited to share all of it hehe

11. favorite request you've have written and why (if any?)

ah its been so long since ive worked with requests that i cant remember anything LOL

12. are there reoccurring themes in your stories?

yes. it is comfort and content. it is the feeling of love. it is holding hands on a walk in the middle of spring and smelling flowers. it is the sound of leaves when a gust of wind blows past. it is looking into ur lovers eyes and feeling nothing but pure fondness

13. current number of wips?

fuck like somewhere around 20 probably

14. three things you have noticed about your own writing?

i really like repetition (specifically in sentences if that makes sense??), LOTS of unspoken things (even if i picture a fic with an established relationship, i dont say it within the fic; and especially concerning romantic feelings, i love when things go unsaid and are FELT full force), i think a lot of detailed rambling... i really like to try and describe emotions and stuff in the most abstract and obscure ways lol i feel like it makes things a little more palpable and honest

15. a quote you like from a published story

im gonna do a few. Lol. firstly this long one from pretend people can unlearn:

“Are you…” Jeonghan starts, and when you look at him, his eyes are still on the city in front of you. “Are you ever afraid that we’ll fall out of love?”

It never occurred to you that this was love. It’s not like the love you’ve experienced in the past, not even close. But maybe… maybe that’s why you never leave, why you hold yourself back from certain arguments like it might fix everything. Maybe love is the reason why Jeonghan still seems to believe in you. Why he promises he’ll be the best thing for you despite always breaking that promise.

(Is it love, a voice in your head questions, or is it longing?)

It takes you a while to respond. “I don’t know,” you end up saying, because you really don’t. Jeonghan turns his head and looks at you, and you half expect him to start an argument in the middle of night, out on the street like this. It wouldn’t be the first time. “Would that… be okay?”

“I don’t know,” Jeonghan answers, just like you. His voice is soft. You want to reach for his hand just to hold it. “You’re still…”

He pauses, like he’s trying to find the right word. You let him take his time, for once, instead of accusing him of the worst. “I’m still?”

“Everything,” he tells you. He looks so sad and you reach out for him because it’s the only thing you can offer. You think the worst thing about your relationship with Jeonghan is that you will always believe him when he gets like this, just like you’ll believe him when he takes it back in the heat of a fight.

next is from like there isn’t something missing <3

But you’re crying into his chest because it’s not you, and it’s not him. Seungcheol wonders if it was always meant to be like this, if the two of you were always meant to part or if something… if something just went wrong, somewhere. A bump that did a bit more damage than either of you thought.

He tries not to think about it now. Tears fill his own eyes as he presses a kiss to your hair because he loved you. He truly did.

“I was so lucky to love you,” he murmurs, voice a cracked whisper. “I’m so happy I got the chance.”

When Seungcheol wakes up the next morning in an empty bed, he’s not surprised. But the Post-It note that’s dressed in your handwriting…

Well. It’s over.

and this last one from only for you, i will dance !!

“This will always be our own time,” he says. “We’ll meet here.”

You know. He says it every time. It never fails to make your heart soar.

“Our thirteenth month,” you say, just like every time. Chan smiles.

He kisses you so strong you feel yourself falling.

16. a quote from an unpublished story

ahh ok ill do a few here too!!! one is something ive begun writing, the other is one that i’ve just been working on planning out <3

Smoke blows past somebody else’s lips and partially obstructs Wonwoo’s view of you.

He hasn’t been to a party like this in a long time. It’s elegant, more of a gala than anything. He can’t remember who threw it or for what reason. It doesn’t really matter, he supposes, watching you make conversation with the partygoers. They all have old money to throw around, the symbolism stitched into their suit jackets and red-rimmed heels; remnants of it left on tables and in the contents of expensive cigars.

You play them like you are one of them, tell them the right things with a silver tongue. Wonwoo always watches, plays the part of an observer. It’s impressive, the way you float around the room like it’s nothing.

Wonwoo observes; Wonwoo knows things.

and the second one...

"you don't know me," you respond. your voice carries no bite, just a fact, and joshua knows this

"i want to," he says after a second. "if you'll let me."

and he's asking permission to be your friend, to be close to you, something so tender and strangely polite

it makes you feel almost sad

"don't expect too much," you say, a little teasing. joshua only smiles

17. space for you to say something to your readers

wahhh thank you all so much!!! when i first got into writing for kpop it was a lot different mostly because i think... i was writing stuff for different anime before, and i had built up a big following because of that and my works always did like, really exceptional in terms of notes and feedback and such, and getting into kpop... has been rough on that end 💀 but i appreciate your support thus far, even if it’s small... i’m still working towards a standard that i have for myself!!! so please be patient with me, thank you for the support !!

also please find it in yourself to leave lil comments or any sort of feedback... please..... PLEASE... any creator ever understands this struggle please always try to do this!!! for me and for any other creator you follow and enjoy content from <333

#wah these things r so fun. cries #tag games #adi speaks

fic writer interview

tagged by: the ever-lovely @hauntedfalcon

name: marlo tenderjock, chosen because my nickname is marlo and i am a Tender Jock.

fandoms: mostly old guard. mcu but especially fatws. star wars but only mando. the majority of my waking days outside tumblr are consumed by baseball, but i dont like sports fandom so that doesnt really make it to here. ive recently rewatched s8 and i remembered how much i Love kala. etc

two-shot: ive never written anything that was, like, an official two-shot (in that they are two chapters of one story) but ive written several two-part series, including hazy cosmic jive (it's all worthwhile) and Dear Forgiveness (i saved a plate for you) and a bit like you and me. my favorite is actually three parts called how long have you been - this and can be found here and here.

most popular multi-chapter: again, i havent really written a multi-chap fic but if you're lonely (you can talk to me) is my most popular and its part one of a two-parter.

actual worst part of writing: having two ideas and needed to write a scene that bridges those two ideas and coming up completely motherfucking empty. aka the reason most of my fics jump around from scene to scene without transitions.

how you choose your titles: titles are actually very easy for me because i generally put zero effort into them. for the most part, a line from whatever song i listened to or poem i read immediately before finishing the final draft is what i go with.

do you outline? eh. very rough outlines.

ideas i probably won’t get around to but wouldn’t it be nice: i have an werewolf!illya kuryakin fic thats been bouncing around my brain for about five years that i will EVENTUALLY write. too bad he’s a cannibal

callouts @ me: WRITE. THE ENTIRE FIC. IN THE SAME TENSE. I DONT CARE WHAT TENSE IT IS. ANY TENSE. JUST STICK WITH IT.

best writing traits: i think i’m ... good at taking one tiny change and expanding it to alter the entire universe of the fic. thats what i’m good at. thats what i like to do.

spicy tangential opinion: booker is a slimy weasel and deserves every year of that 100 year sentence. [blows him a kiss]

Tagged by: the lovely @scimitar-and-longsword 💕💕

Name(s): my name is Mack, and if this also includes like usernames too then my ao3 is macksdramaticshenanigans and obviously yall can see my tumblr url lol. i have a fandom twitter but i hate twitter so i barely go on it lmao.

Fandom(s): oh boy haha this is a loooong list. as of right now, the main fandoms i’m involved in are The Old Guard and Trust FX, but in the past i’ve written for Skam, Marvel, Good Omens, Love Simon/Simon vs., Shameless, and IT. and ofc there are some fandoms i have not written for that i casually enjoy as well.

Where you post: all my fics are posted on ao3! or are sitting in my wips folder lol. i’ve ocsasionally posted some snippets of writing here to tumblr, but none of those are like full on, proper fics, mostly just me rambling off some thoughts i had about whatever characters in whatever scenarios

Most Popular One Shot (by kudos): Imagine Being Loved By Me (918 kudos) ((so close to 1k holy shit!!!! if it got to 1k i think i’d actually die of happiness omg)) this is my Good Omens smut fic lmfao, crowley is fantasizing and aziraphale makes it a reality skgjsd. i’m actually pretty damn pleased with how this one turned out, and i never expected it to get that many kudos so that makes me ridiculously happy sfjgfg. (and also podfixx made a podfic of this fic which made me INSANELY happy like that is the coolest thing ever)

Most Popular Multi-Chapter (by kudos): I Have Hella Feelings For You (697 kudos) ahhh this one!! this one is actually my very first ever chaptered fic!! it’s a skam fic, and i have the most distinctive memory of me sititng in my dorm bed freshman year of college, furiously typing away at my laptop everyday for a week because i somehow managed to post a chapter every day until it was finished, which meant i was writing a new chapter everyday. like damn, i really peaked with that huh? lmao

Favorite story you’ve written so far: ahh okay not to like. toot my own horn kgfldg but this question is HARD bc i have a lot of favorites. i’m going to pick a favorite from each of my main fandoms i’ve written for because i’m an Indecisive Hoe okay fdjdf.

- From Marvel: Just Called To Say I Love You this one is my wrong number stucky fic and i actually adore this one so much, and also it actually ended up being WAY more popular than i expected it to? like i was lowkey shook by how many people liked it

- From Skam: If You Love Me, If You Hate Me so. about this one. it’s probably my favorite skam fic that i’ve written. but. it also is the utter bane of my existence bc this is the one and only fic i have ever written and posted that i haven’t fnished gskgjfdlfs. it’s going on soon to be a little over 2 years of sitting on my account as an unfinished wip, but i REFUSE to mark it as abandoned bc i really genuienly DO want to finish it, i just havent written for this fandom in a while and inspiration/motivation is tricky yknow? but anyways. this fic is my soccer au!! it was a gift for a secret santa exchange i believe to a dear friend of mine and i still feel awful that i never finished it but. one day!!

- From Love Simon/Simon vs.: Where I Like You Best i am actually obsessed with this one. is that weird to say about your own fic? i enjoy reading a good soulmate au, but writing them has always been SO daunting to me bc i never feel like my ideas are original enough or like things that havent been done a lot for that trope. but for this one!!! omg i found the BEST prompt for it and it fit these characters SO well and i wrote it and i ended up absolutely loving how it turned out, and i was so proud of myself for writing a pretty successful soulmate au.

- From Shameless: Wooden Floors, Walls, and Window Sills so this one was my second ever gallavich fic, and it’s probably my favorite because i think it’s the best characterization i got of them in all of my fics, and good characterization is one of the most important things to me when i write fic.

- From IT: To What We Might Do is my favorite reddie fic i’ve written! i definitely projected onto richie a teeny tiny bit in it for some parts lmfao, but yeah idk i just love how this one turned out a whole lot, and i enjoyed how i ended it too (esp since endings can be very difficult for me lol). ((BUT also a special shoutout to my fic Imagine Me and You, I Do bc that one is just pure fluff and i adore the concept of someone being just so absolutely in love with someone doing something so incredibly simple and it just rocks their world)

- From Good Omens: I Want To Know What Love Is (did i use the most cheesy title ever? absolutely. do i love it? absolutely.) anyways this fic is one where crowley the demon experiences love and promptly thinks he’s dying.

Fic you were nervous to post: ooh, i mean i’m always pretty anxious about any fic i post because i never know if it’s going to be recepted well or if people are going to like it or hate it or if anyone is even going to read it or repsond to it. especially if the fic is a gift for someone, because i just really want that person to like it yknow? but yeah idk if theres one in particular i was more nervous to post than any others... i guess maybe any smut fic? just bc i never know if the smut is even any good lol

How do you choose your titles?: eaaaaasy, i usually pick song lyrics lol, ocassionally i’ve used lines from a poem, and a few times i’ve gone with a pun, but mostly it’s song lyrics. i usually find a song with lyrics that i think will fit, or if there’s a particular song that vibes well with the fic or that i listened to repeatedly while writing the fic i’ll try to pick the best lyric from that one.

Do you outline?: yes and no lol. it honestly depends. sometimes i outline extensively, but other times i just sit in front of a doc and let whatever happens happen.

Complete: on my ao3 account i have 80 works completed (will be 81 once i finally finish that one single unfinished wip i have posted gahhh). but i know in my wips folder i have a at least one finished fic that i have not and probably will not post. there are also some other things in my wips folder that like technically could be conisdered finished too, but it’s not up to my posting standards so until i fix it so it is it’ll just sit there lol.

In-Progress: honestly there are too many to count lol. i have a shiiiiiit ton of wips (as yall will know if you saw that one ‘tell us about ALL your wips’ tag game post that was going around that i did lol).

Coming soon/not yet started: tbh see above answer bc it’s pretty much the same lol.

Prompts?: so the thing about prompts is that i would LOVE to take them, but it’s very very tricky bc i’m a super specific kind of gal and if i don’t vibe with the prompt it’s very difficult for me to write anything for it. but then there’s also the fact that inspiration/motivation are fickle bitches and they come and go as they please and so taking prompts is hard bc i never know if the stars will align and all that jazz for me to be in the ~ right mood ~ to work on a prompt. this is the exact reason why i have SO MANY sitting in my inbox right now, and i feel so bad for just letting them sit there but ughhh brain function?? how?? lol

Upcoming work you’re most excited about: sooooo i don’t necessarily have any specific works in progress right now (i’ve been so busy lately that writing has been the last thing on my mind and so i haven’t touched anything in weeks) but. i guess if i can ever get my shit together and finish the primo fic i’m close to finishing i’m pretty excited to post that! or honestly if i can actually get myself to finish any of the tog wips i have i’d be suuuper excited to post any of those bc i have not yet posted any tog fics!!

anways!! if you made it to this point thanks for sticking w me and reading through my long winded rambly answers lmao

2020 Year in Review -- Fic Edition

Thanks @whoreschach for the tag invite!!!

Name(s): meet me in the matinee

Fandom(s): John Wick, Bill & Ted

Where you post: AO3, here, wattpad (I like attention and to cover my bases).

Most Popular One Shot (by kudos): Twizzlers and TV (a Bill and Ted pwp drabble)

Most Popular Multi-Chapter (by kudos): Herbs and Honey (my one and only witcher fic.)

Favorite story you’ve written so far: Present Frustrations. (John Wick x Helen) It really pushed my writing in a fun way because it was a rope fic and thats SO VISUAL. So description was everything. Plus I really loved exploring the feelings involved between Helen and John. Sigh.

Fic you were nervous to post: I was a bit nervous about Most Significant Others because it was the first time I’d really written an m/m pairing in a longer way--and I love them so much so I wanted to make sure I’d gotten it right.

How do you choose your titles?: I like cheeky jokes, plays on song lyrics, maybe a sneaky call out to something in the story.

Do you outline?: Noooooooope! I’m very much a start with a feeling or idea that won’t leave me alone until I write it and then sit and write it start to finish person. I don’t know why but I find outlines confuse me in a way? As if I feel hemmed in by them....which is weird since it’d be my own ideas but anyhow they just don’t work for me. I figure out where my feeling or scenario will go in the story and take it from there.

Complete: 10

In-Progress: 2 WIPs this year and 1 VERY neglected WIP I havent touched since 2019. oooppppps! Sorry poor possessed John Wick. I’ll get back to you eventually.

Coming soon/not yet started: I have a really fun, dark idea for another Wick x OC fic. I don’t wanna give anything away about it but I think if I make it work it will be amazing.

Prompts?: I do love a good prompt but instead of doing those as requests I kinda just like to use them to well, prompt me to write now. I really struggle with requests.

Upcoming work you’re most excited about: I’m excited to get back to my WIPS-- especially Torn and A Home Between the Waves. I can’t wait to get AHBTW going because it’s definitely a Helen runs roughshod over John’s entire life fic and there’s room for SO MUCH quality smut in there. So. Much.

I’m excited to get back to Torn too because I think of that one fondly as being my fucked up, smutted up Hallmark movie of a fic.

Tagging: Anyone who’d like to share what they’ve been working on this year!

Tropes! Tag Game

I was tagged by @roguebeachcomber

gonna do this from both the reading and writing perspective!! because i am an ... author ....

Slow burn or love at first sight: slow burn all the way. give me characters learning to love each-other over time any day (shame i don’t have the patience to write a real slow burn lmao)

Fake dating or secret dating: oh i can’t decide!! i love them both!!

“Oh no, there’s only one bed” or long distance correspondence: i think i’ve used ‘theres only one bed’ in every fic i’ve ever written. in my ao3 universe there are Never enough beds. i don’t think i’ve ever read / written a long distance correspondence fic (which is dumb because i’m in a long distance relationship) so mayb ... who knows ....

Hurt/comfort or amnesia: well done hurt/comfort is the backbone of this nation okay. like, the drama of an amnesia fic is great, but hurt/comfort ... its the bread and butter in the buffet of fanfic

Enemies to lovers or best friends to lovers: enemies to lovers!! i may be biased with my love of avalance but i just love the Drama ... the Growth ... everything ...

Mutual pining or domestic bliss: domestic bliss!! characters could be cooking pancakes or painting their kids nursery and i’m crying lol

Smut or fluff: hmm depends on my mood, but i write way more fluff than smut aha

Fantasy AU or modern AU: hmm depends? i go through phases ... i also think it depends on the couple. tho i did just have an absolute blast writing my first fantasy au!!

AU or future fic: au. i live on aus. i havent written a non au fic in like two years lmao. someone please stop my sinful hand.

Kid fic or road trip fic: kid fic!! i’m endlessly maternal ... i’ve never finished one though. i doubt i ever will lol

Canon compliant/missing scenes or fix it fic: oh i love missing scenes!! i love it as a way to flesh out a character when the show doesn’t really have space to

One-shot or multi chapter: hm both? some stories work better in one shot, some need the space of multi-chapter

Time travel or isolated together: ahh i feel this is unfair with legends because every fic is time travel? i mean with Recent Events i’m sure we’re gonna have a state of excellent isolated together fics, so i’m excited aha

High school or middle aged romance: high school!! anything i’ve written set in high school is a love letter to my 15 year old self. i think in high school its hard to imagine everything will turn out okay...

Arranged or accidental marriage: ohhh arranged (obvs not forced) .... just the idea of going from married to in love is Iconic

Sci-fi or magic AU: hmm both? depends on the time and place. i do love the way magic can connect to and express emotions tho

Body swap or gender bend: body swap!! so many hilarious body swap movies that translate well into fics aha

Angst or crack: angst!! used to love writing angst, but i’ve softened in my old age. might return to my roots one day lmao

Apocalyptic or mundane: mundane ... apocalypse films / books always scared me lol. i’ll take mundane life any day aha

okay i’ll tag @rathofawesomeness, @noradarhkpalmer, @lovevalley45 and @katrinakenyon and anyone else who hasn’t done it yet!!

#phoebe lifeblogs #long post #love me a tag game lmao

Witness: Supergirrl

Creator name (AO3): supergirrl

Creator name (Tumblr): le-temps-viendra36

Link to creator works: https://archiveofourown.org/series/343042

Q: Why the Mad Max Fandom?

A: I’ve never seen the original three movies, so I went into Fury Road having no idea what I was about to watch, and it changed my life. I’d never seen a movie that looked or felt like Fury Road, and it blew my mind. What inspired me to write fanfiction for the movie were the women, especially the sisters. I had never seen survivors of sexual assault/domestic violence portrayed in that way, and it made me want to write about them.

Q: What do you think are some defining aspects of your work? Do you have a style? Recurrent themes?

A: I think the defining aspects and recurrent themes of my work are feminism and magical realism/mythical steampunk, and the intersection of those different ideas. Those ideas are all present in Fury Road, I try to delve into them more and expand them beyond the scope of the film.

Q: Which of your works was the most fun to create? The most difficult? Which is your most popular? Most successful? Your favourite overall?

A: I don’t know if I can pick a favorite work or one that was most fun, because they’ve all been really rewarding in different ways, but the most difficult one was definitely the Furiosa chapter of Our Words. It took almost two years to write because I really struggled with getting inside Furiosa’s head. Even though I enjoy her a lot as a character, I don’t relate to her the way I do to the sisters. Although they’re all victims of Joe, they occupy very different roles in his regime, with Furiosa occupying a more conventionally ‘masculine’ role as an imperator and the sisters occupying the ‘feminine’ role of breeders/wives, thought they ultimately use their different positions within Joe’s patriarchal hierarchy to overthrow and kill him. As a more conventionally ‘feminine’ person, I relate to them more strongly than I do to Furiosa.

Q: How do you like your wasteland? Gritty? Hopeful? Campy? Soft? Why?How do you like your wasteland? Gritty? Hopeful? Campy? Soft? Why?

A: I think my wasteland is a blend of gritty, soft, and hopeful, but I focus on the hopefulness the most. For me, the wasteland represents our current world and my own mental health/life, and I have to believe that we can make things better (as they ultimately do in the movie).

Q: Walk us through your creative process from idea to finished product. What's your prefered environment for creating? How do you get through rough patches?

A: I either write things in one intense late night writing fest, or in bits and pieces over time. I only write when I’m alone, and I like to either have instrumental music playing or silence.

Q: What (if any) music do you listen to for help getting those creative juices flowing?

A: I have a huuuuge long playlist of music that goes with/inspired each part of Words, composed mainly of film and TV scores, that I listen to whenever I write.

Q: What is your biggest challenge as a creator?

A: Finding the time/energy to actually write my fics down. I think about them all the time throughout the day, I am just really bad at actually physically typing them.

Q: How have you grown as a creator through your participation in the Mad Max Fandom? How has your work changed? Have you learned anything about yourself?

A: I think my work has gotten weirder and more magical/mythical, because I’ve been inspired by the inherently weird, quasi-magical world of Fury Road, and writing Fury Road fic has helped me work through my own experiences as an SA survivor.

Q: Which character do you relate to the most, and how does that affect your approach to that character? Is someone else your favourite to portray? How has your understanding of these characters grown through portraying them?

A: I relate to all five of the sisters in different ways, but especially to Toast. Overall it makes writing her (and Angharad and Cheedo, who I also relate to very strongly) easy and fun. I think I’ve come to see that their different archetypes aren’t mutually exclusive-in their own ways, they’re all knowing and fragile and capable, and so on.

Q: Do you ever self-insert, even accidentally?

A: Yes, I definitely project some of my own thoughts and experiences onto the Sisters, especially with regards to their being survivors of sexual assault. But I think that it’s impossible to completely remove yourself from your writing/characters.

Q: Do you have any favourite relationships to portray? What interests you about them?

A: So many! I really love the relationships of the five sisters, with each other in particular but also other characters, like Furiosa, Max, and Nux. I think their unique personalities, their strong bonds with each other, and their dynamic is endlessly fascinating.

Q: How does your work for the fandom change how you look at the source material?

A: I definitely pay closer attention to minor details, like how the characters’ clothing changes throughout the movie, and what characters are doing in the background, because it’s such a detailed world and there’s a lot you can pick up on in those little things.

Q: Do you prefer to create in one defined chronology or do your works stand alone? Why or why not?

A: My series Words consists of several multi-chapter fics and oneshots that all exist in the same chronology, but I also have some oneshots that stand alone. Overall I prefer to write in the Words universe because it feels more real and detailed to me.

Q: To break or not to break canon? Why?

A: I break canon all the time and I think it’s generally a good thing. For me, I’m usually doing it because I want to tell a story that fits into the broader themes of Fury Road without necessarily aligning with all the specific facts of the film.

Q: Share some headcanons.

A: I have so many! Most are in my fics, but one that I’ve never had the chance to incorporate into my writing is that Miss Giddy used stolen War Boy paint to write the words left in the Vault for Joe to find.

Q: What are some works by other creators inside and outside of the fandom that have influenced your work?

A: Within the fandom, @jaesauce’s modern AUs have definitely influenced how I write Toast and Capable, both as individuals and in the context of their relationship with each other and with Slit and Nux respectively. Outside the fandom, I’ve been really strongly influenced by Jo Graham’s Numinous World series, with its themes of magic, the divine, and social justice.

Q: What advice can you give someone who is struggling to make their own works more interesting, compelling, cohesive, etc.?

A: It sounds a little trite, but in my mind, ultimately fanfiction is for yourself. If other people like it, then great, but that isn’t my purpose in writing it. So I write what I find interesting and compelling, and sometimes other people are interested and sometimes they aren’t, but it’s okay either way. As for maintaining internal cohesion, I find it helpful to re-read what I’ve previously written to make sure I haven’t forgotten anything.

Q: Have you visited or do you plan to visit Australia, Wasteland Weekend, or other Mad Max place?

A: I have not yet, I would like to visit Australia someday, and I think the Wasteland Weekend would be really fun to attend one year.

Q: Tell us about a current WIP or planned project.

A: Right now I’m just working on Knowing, the last fic planned in the Words universe, set from Toast’s POV. I’ve got it all worked out in my head, I just need to get it on the page!

Thank you @le-temps-viendra36

I cba to count but any numbers what havent been already answered for the fic asks g ✌🏼

35 Questions for Fanfic Writers! welchh killed the meme

that’s all the odd numbers, you fuckin cunt, I’m gonna crush you in the lidl aisle with a tort textbook (thanks for these, I love em!! except for the couple that’re embarrassing; fuck you!!)

3. What do you think makes your writing stand out from other works?

the sheer audacity of either the AU concept or the scope of project; they’re either ballsy, like a fic that moves through 300+ years of history, or stupid shit like “hey what if alien but with robots and gay?” (if i wanted to be meta i’d say a gay guy writing gay guys has gotta have an appeal, at least to other guys like me)

5. What’s the fic you’re most proud of?

When It Rains It Pours is my “magnum opus” (bleeding quotations) it’s the fic i always wanted to write. post-canon fix-it, exploring the details of two characters i love making their way in the world (close second is Church of Saint Andrew because it was just a horrible idea)

7. What element of writing do you struggle with most?

overwriting. i sit down to write fun lil romps between chapter updates and then suddenly i got 10k words and a new multi-chapter fic. there’s no “lil one-shot for a break” because i just… can’t write them like that. really bums me out

9. Which character(s) do you find most difficult to write?

trick question, i only write AndyEddie and am therefore immune (i don’t think i write Sledge as well as i could, tbr)

11. Who or what do you find yourself writing about most?

Andy, Eddie, and their gay antics

13. First fandom you ever wrote for?

these are real interesting ones because they’re just me embarrassing myself innit… i wrote for Bleach. like the anime. i was 11, maybe. fucking end me

15. What’s the weirdest fandom you’ve ever written for?

i want to die saying this but ya’ll remember Death Note? probably that

17. A trope you’ll never, ever write for.

i’m not putting it on me blog but the one that uses the greek alphabet

19. Do you prefer canon-compliant, AUs, or something in-between?

all fucking three, baby, fanfiction is a buffet and i got my All You Can Eat token!!

20. Gen fic or shippy stuff?

don’t mind gen fic if it’s multi-pairing so the focus is on other stuff, but otherwise gimme them ships

21. Favorite pairing to write for? (platonic or romantic!)

this question is unlawful, do not pass go, do not collect fifty quid and a statue from bristol river

22. Do you listen to anything while you write?

always!! normally lil youtube playlists for most fics, if not then just whatever gives that general vibe

23. Do you prefer prompts and challenges, or completely independent ideas?

i like a good prompt when it suits but mainly it’s indie fics (“indie fic” is a cursed term)

24. One-shots or multi-chaptered works?

i write one-shots in my fantasies, and multi-chaps in practice

25. Have you ever daydreamed about side adventures/spin-offs from your fic? Tell us about them!

shit, i’d kill for a spin-off of Church of Saint Andrew from Andy’s POV. centuries of being reincarnated over and over, meeting a random guy every lifetime and wondering why he treats you like he knows you, like he loves you… that’d be fucked up and fantastic.

every canon era fic i write is lowkey a side adventure/spin-off of When it Rain it Pours, tbh, like that’s my canon touchstone for writing

26. Is there anything you’ve wanted to write, but you’ve been too scared to try?

less too scared to try and more not willing to commit the effort. some things are so niche and so self-indulgent it’s not worth putting into text, not until I’ve got a fuckton of time on my hands

28. How well do you handle criticism when it comes to your writing?

i used to handle it terribly. now I handle it better. i’ve got a real specific viewpoint on fanfiction crit nowerdays; since fanfic is free, takes effort, and is not inherently for the reader, any criticism given should be a) asked for by the writer, and b) on points of actual relevance rather than “i personally do not like X”. if it doesn’t comply with those criteria, i find myself asking why someone took the time to write the public comment. you can complain about bad fic privately, like all things

29. Have you ever gone outside of your comfort zone for a fic? How did it turn out?

there’s a WIP in my docs from Andy’s POV that deals with some heavier shit and yeah, that was a step outside but if you push through it, your comfort zone expands like bread for the ducks

30. Tooth-rotting fluff or merciless angst?

merciless angst, we die like men

31. Do you have any OCs? Tell us about them!

yes and you will never hear about them but know they are jewish and gay

34. Copy and paste an excerpt you’re particularly fond of.

(fuck almost pasted from my uni work about cyclist helmets) thought you’d enjoy this one:

His name’s Edward Allison Jones and he likes to think his life story can be summed up in under a page. Probably less than.

Where to start? It’s a boring beginning.

Born in a place called Red Lion, that he hasn’t been back to since he screamed his little baby scream at the midwife. It wasn’t a good start, either, considering his parents hightailed it out of there and over the West Virginia Stateline to avoid paying for his little baby entrance. They tell the story like they’re fucking Bonny and Clyde, but their son imagines it more like Flintstones. Yabba dabba doo.

35. Ramble about any fic-related thing you want!

quick fire round: i can’t stop watching the legend of korra (it’s fuckin good man) and it keeps bringin me back to the avatar AU, every time i write “cunt” in a fic i feel americans clutch their pearls, i’m getting back into the old groove of making chars jewish and not giving a fuck, once I found out “high school” was just secondary school i couldn’t write/read high school AUs cause that’s grim tbh, and sometimes i don’t even watch tv shows i use for AUs because I’m a busy boy

#long post i apologise but like i'm innocent #welchh #i need an ask tag and now i have

fanfic ideas that i have that i havent written:

* adorable child past form of terrible grandpa man meets rotom and everything is happiness and backstory fun pretty much just retelling the rotom event room journal from the game in comic form and /w charon being the mystery kid and all also dumb fan ocs of what his parents were like * sad backstory of rotom which makes the above even more heartwarming * Tiny Charon Boarding School Adventures, and other miscellaneous childhood-teen headcanons set after the journal and being like The Start Of Tragic Things And Charon Becoming An Evil * adult charon works at silph co and its a terrible job but nothing super tragic happens except yknow Charon Becomes An Evil. Like, just, one sad thing happening in his past isnt the excuse for why he turned bad or anything, he survived that and years and years later he just started becoming jaded and mistreating his best friend and forming stupid philosophies about moneymoneymoney and pokemon being mere tools. So you can see maybe where the idea came from, but its not like it wasnt his own choice to sacrifice everything he ever cared about. * Big climactic moment where he jumped off the deep end and abandoned his tiny ghost friend and then had nobody to stop him from becoming an evil bastard. I’m thinking something happened at the conference when he was gonna reveal his rotom research... * some Super Fuckin Sad stuff from rotom’s POV as they sit in an abandoned house for like twenty years waiting for their human friend who may never come back * SOME MORE potentially Super Fuckin Sad stuff from rotom’s POV of all the other fics. Like, just the bittersweet fact that they have to watch their friend grow old and know that humans dont last long. And then seeing charon start changing into this selfish bastard but not wanting to try and stop him because they’re so scared he’ll leave them behind, and then he still does it anyway... * and/or some cute and goofy rotom POV stuff where its just the funny perceptions of this silly pokemon. I mean, charon is TOTALLY the pet in this situation! Obviously! Human Science Corner, with the esteemed Doctor Rotom~ * some actual present day stuff of charon being part of team galactic, his perspective on some events from the game and maybe some cute ideas for missions the player never got to see the team do, or just fun behind-the-scenes office antics! Also I have some backstory and friendship drabble ideas for the pokemon I decided to give him during this no rotom period, a banette and mismagius. CHARON I WILL OPEN YOUR HEART WITH PET HUGS, AND YOU ARE GONNA LIKE IT * But What If The Player Could Catch Charon’s Old Childhood Friend Rotom And Kick His Ass With It The ultimate fanfic idea that started all of this backstory thought, lol! I was so mad he didnt even get a boss battle. two potential versions, one where charon is super 100% irredeemable evil and its just cathartic for rotom to get revenge and all, and one super self indulgent unlikely redemption plot where he apologizes and they hug it out * entire rewrite of sinnoh from the perspective of team galactic as the protagonists, and then your protagonist grunt character can have Social Link GO with all the commanders and UNLIKELY REDEMPTION PLOTS AND HUGGING IT OUT!!! but man i suck at making fangames so this will forever be on the backburner and even turning it into a long multi chapter fanfic would be beyond my skill level... * POINTLESS ANGSTFIC! what if charon died and rotom kept waiting forever at his grave. Because I like to torture myself. * AGAIN WITH THE ANGSTFIC! what if charon died and became a ghost and was like ‘hey rotom this is totally a happy ending, im back’ and rotom was like *fucking weeps for eighteen years straight* ‘THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT I WANTED’ Thankfully, a similar fanfic actually does already exist, so I can go cry at that whenever I’m feeling the self-torment! Ah, darkeiya, you are a gift to the writing world. *continues sobbing* * roleswap AU where charon is the ghost and rotom is the kid. how much would be different? * AU where all the evil teams are rescue teams in pokemon mystery dungeon, because I dunno * ‘what if charon was the actual charon from greek myth’ AU, which failed on delivery because I realized i dont actually know anything about greek myth * ‘what if charon was robin from fire emblem awakening AU’ which I actually even made some custom sprites for XD I mean, wouldnt that be hilarious? him replacing the protagonist of any other game would be hilarious cos he’d just be the worst hero * postgame post-redemption type fic that’s just like Fluffy Cute Shenanigans Of Why I Think A Redemption Would Be Great. A potential idea was that since Charon is the only one who got arrested in Platinum, looker and the protagonist would have to work with him to track down the other commanders and cyrus. Dragged into being a hero team member against his will! and then somehow it would lead to the reveal of his sad story with rotom, and them being reunited and him becoming less of a giant asshole with dumb space hair. And then ALL THE ANGST he would have of trying to come to terms with the fact that he actually has feelings and may have *GASP* been wrong about something once. The horror! And I was thinking ultimately his future going forward would be that he gives up on using his science powers for personal gain and instead becomes a legitimate pokemon professor. And he returns to the old chateau and him and rotom renovate it into a wildlife sanctuary for the ghosts haunting it, and run a lil adoption center to find them new homes. And the combined mushyness of all these plot elements melts bunni’s soul, yep yep!
