Writing Asks

This the post where I know no one is going to ask me anyway.

1. Describe your comfort zone—a typical you-fic.

Something that is like a “Oh hey, what happens if we do THIS!” and go from there. Usually ends up having loads of emotions, comfort, angst, introspection, loads of kitchen sink dialogues, not too much action. Families, happy endings.

2. Is there a trope you’ve yet to try your hand at, but really want to?

Fluffy stuff and humourous stuff. I am a little too serious for either one and my humour is drier than the desert and very odd. So no.

3. Is there a trope you wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole?

Teacher and Student relationships. Necrophilia, abuse of all sorts, underage. Just not my thing. I’ve gotten unable to stomach a lot of grimdark and super dark stuff as I get older so I won’t write it. But go ahead if that’s your thing.

4. How many fic ideas are you nurturing right now? Care to share one of them?

Two, since I can’t have more than two on the burner. Learned THAT early on and they’re Terror AU’s One is a fixit, but with health complications and angst. The other is a Modern Day AU which has two professors falling in love after one gets injured and the other worked as an EMT and helps to take care of him and they fall in love.

5. Share one of your strengths.

I can offer insights on what flows and what doesn’t. I can also happily shred my own drafts if they don’t work. 

6. Share one of your weaknesses.

Action. I work at it, but it’s not my favourite. Or war writing. 

7. Share a snippet from one of your favorite pieces of prose you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.

“Danny had to turn his head away to hide his smile, because he knew that it was a legitimate concern for Jose. Most of the time, he had jumped into bed with his partners first and then did the mating dance. 

Although extremely smart in other aspects, dating and social interactions were always a bit skewed, because he was always second-guessing himself and nervous as hell.

“That’s actually how things work out in these situations. At least it did for me and my ex and for me and Claude.” Danny explained calmly, making Jose nod and take another pull of his slurpee.

“So what do I do? Like is there a time when I bring up the possibility of us sleeping together?” Jose asked, the words slightly mumbled as he chewed on the straw.

“You don’t bring it up. You’ll just know when the time is right for it to happen. Sex isn’t what a relationship should be built on. Yes, it’s nice and it’s part of it, but it’s not the end all to be all. Trust me on this. It will happen if it’s meant to happen.” Danny explained, hoping that he had put it all in the plainest and simplest terms he could for his friend.

I am proud of this because it was majorly borrowing from life and I can see the difference from earlier writing. 

8. Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.

“Sergio laughed shortly. “I’ve already done enough of that, and look at where it’s gotten you. Yeah, legally I hold claim over you. I could make the club buy out your contract and sit at home all day, having litter after litter.”

Iker’s blood froze at that and he turned to look at Sergio to see if he really meant it, but Sergio’s face gave nothing away.

“Or I could sign your rights to the club and let them sell you wherever or to whomever. Take you out of Spain, or sell you to Getafe or Malaga. All of these things I could do. The club actually did bring it up at that meeting you didn’t show up for.”

Iker blinked, his hands going numb as Sergio’s wickedly honed words hit home.

“I’m not telling you this to hurt you. Or make you feel indebted. I’m telling this to you because you’re this close to losing your spot and that’s the last thing I want for you. But there’s only so much I can do for you.”

He sighed and looked at Iker dead in the eyes.

“I miss him too, Iker. I miss Antonio every fucking day. And I miss you.”

Iker swallowed hard as Sergio abruptly turned and left, slamming the front door and freeing him from the command so suddenly that Iker fell onto the couch and curled up in it.

He had no energy to do anything else. Not when he was all too aware he’d fucked up and fucked up big and needed to fix it.

Borrowed from life again and it was more of a dialogue that needed to be had when you finally realize how much you fucked up and how much you need to stop coasting and make it right. 

9. Which fic has been the hardest to write?

ALL OF THEM! Kidding. I want to say the one I’m working on right now. I was lucky enough I got a ton of help fleshing it out. I can see the end of the 1st chapter and I am having a hell of a time writing Goodsir’s chunk. He’s turned out more emo and romantic than I was expecting. 

10. Which fic has been the easiest to write?

The QuiObi prompts for the prompt week. Took me like two hours to knock them off and post. 

11. Is writing your passion or just a fun hobby?

Its a passion and a hobby. It helped me through a lot of rough patches and keeps me sane. 

12. Is there an episode above all others that inspires you just a little bit more?

Mostly music or a change in life. I tend to write when everything is in flux with me.

13. What’s the best writing advice you’ve ever come across?

Just write. Worry about editing later. Once you have something on the paper, fixing it up becomes easier. 

14. What’s the worst writing advice you’ve ever come across?

Edit as you write. You don’t get anything done.

15. If you could choose one of your fics to be filmed, which would you choose?

Oooh. I think it’s a toss up between my Qui-Gon/Jango fic in a pastoral setting where they have put their pasts behind and are farmers on Concord Dawn. Or the Werewolf fic I wrote during my RPF phase.

16. If you only could write one pairing for the rest of your life, which pairing would it be?

Bloody hard. I would have to say Fitzier (Commander Fitzjames/Captain Crozier)

17. Do you write your story from start to finish, or do you write the scenes out of order?

Depends. Sometimes I go straight from beginning to end and sometimes I end up writing the middle and not figuring it out until later.

18. Do you use any tools, like worksheets or outlines?

Outlines. I have notebooks I jot down point form notes about the characters and the plot.

18. Stephen King once said that his muse is a man who lives in the basement. Do you have a muse?

Mine is a librarian or an alchemist trying to figure out answers and how things fit in.

19. Describe your perfect writing conditions.

A good playlist. Alone, in my room.

20. How many times do you usually revise your fic/chapter before posting?

I revise it along the way when I sit down to write. Then before I post, I give it a once over to make sure it flows and makes sense. 

21. Choose a passage from one of your earlier fics and edit it into your current writing style. (Person sending the ask is free to make suggestions).

All my old fics are honestly gone so I’m skipping this one. 

22. If you were to revise one of your older fics from start to finish, which would it be and why?

Honestly? The Duo and Heero one I wrote about them being in an abusive relationship where they split up, then got back together again. I was again writing from life, and I have seen couples who did overcome it, but looking back, I think I should have written it that they separated and went their own ways. 

Keep in mind I was very young when I wrote this, and I was in an abusive relationship myself and didn’t realise it at the time. He hit me once, apologised and never did it again. But he did end up manipulating me, gaslighting me, and emotionally abusing me until I finally had enough and left. 

23. Have you ever deleted one of your published fics?

Yes. Loads of them due to me not wanting to finish them. Or the hosting sites going under. 

24. What do you look for in a beta?

Someone who is honest, someone who knows the way I write, and has suggestions to fix those said things. But someone who is themselves is the best. Because they know what they want. Same here. 

25. Do you beta yourself? If so, what kind of beta are you?

I do, simply due to lack of steady betas. Flow and story telling, but I also look for syntax and formatting as well as grammar. I will miss typos, so I run spell-check too. I mostly use a mental rubric. Teacher training.

26. How do you feel about collaborations?

I haven’t had a successful one due to the second person always deciding that they can’t follow through or up and disappearing. So I don’t do them.

27. Share three of your favorite fic writers and why you like them so much.

Oh my God! I read so much and so many different people that I can’t pinpoint three. I usually end up reading a fic or two, so I can’t say why I read the author.

28. If you could write the sequel (or prequel) to any fic out there not written by yourself, which would you choose?

I haven’t done that. I do admit to having inspired by fics. I wouldn’t ever presume to do that. It just feels like a snub.

29. Do you accept prompts?

Not really. I can’t tailor write stuff consistently. 

30. Do you take liberties with canon or are you very strict about your fic being canon compliant?

Oh always! I end up liking the characters that somehow never make it until the end. And in the Terror, unless you want to write angst all the time, you HAVE to ignore canon. And I mean BOTH the book and the show, since the book is nasty. The show is amazing, but oh my god is it depressing.

31. How do you feel about smut?

Yes damned please!

32. How do you feel about crack?

Depends on how well it’s done. Sometimes it is needed. Sometimes it’s like “Why?”

33. What are your thoughts on non-con and dub-con?

A bit tricky. I don’t mind non-con, but it has to be handled well. Dub-con, especially in A/B/O happens within context and it is usually dealt with. So I can tolerate that more than the first. Outright abuse, no.

34. Would you ever kill off a canon character?

Yes. Not often thought. But yes. I usually try and keep as many alive as I can though.

35. Which is your favorite site to post fic?

AO3, its a wild place and I love it for that reason.

36. Talk about your current wips.

It’s an AU where two professors that live in the same building and work in different faculties get thrown together and start to get to know each other. Due to circumstance, one gets injured and the other kind of volunteers to help take care of him, where they fall in love. The others in the vicinity do also. There’s Canadian shenanigans and baking. 

37. Talk about a review that made your day.

That they really liked how I wrote Frank Randall and would like to see more with his son, an OC I created for the story.

38. Do you ever get rude reviews and how do you deal with them?

I either delete, or give a generic reply and leave it. I’ve got stuff to do.

40. Write an alternative ending to [insert fic title] (or just the summary of one).

Nope. It just doesn’t work for me.

*somewhere I fucked up on the number but here you are*

Whoever wants to do this.

Lair Review for Fanartsy Part 1

@fanartsy-fr Sorry this took me so dang long... and sorry it IS so dang long... and sorry that it’s only part 1! I got too sleepy halfway through!

First Impressions:

Ahhhh, the Clan Lore is so sweet! I love the way it addresses the reader as if they, themselves are a dragon (following rules, don’t work and whatnot) it’s very creative and immersive! J

I like that you’ve mentioned that some of the dragons aren’t as friendly; it’s definitely cool to have that little sinister element, so it’s not all love and sunshine! I AM VERY EXCITED!

Nyx

Okay, before I get into the dragon... Google asked me if I wanted to translate the page, so I said yes because the text in the bio clearly wasn’t Lorem Ipsum (the made up language people use as filler text). And... whoa boy. Have you ever read what the bio is translated into English as? Some notable excerpts:

“this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born”

“Download information as a vCard E, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it?”

It just repeats so I’m just assuming someone chose some random filler text. Unless this is your actual lore and it’s just been translated incorrectly? It just seemed a little darker than your Profile lore.

ANYWAY

HOLY KAU I have never seen anyone layer multiple Emblems together!? How freaking cool does that look, omg! And the accent looks SO dramatic against the Blacks & Blues!! And that bust is GORGEOUS! Did you do it??

I love the image you’ve chosen to show what the lair looks like, I already said this but your lore is super immersive! I can just picture wayward dragons stumbling across the lair, probably searching through the forest for days trying to find its location because it’s so well hidden!

Hephaestus

Oh my word, Hephaestus, you handsome mofo!! He’s so sophisticated!! OHHH AND THE RED TIGER WITH THE BLUE TINTS IN THE MIDNIGHT OVERCOAT MATCH NYX’S ACCENT AND PRIMARY! WAS THIS ON PURPOSE!? IF IT IS, IT’S GENIUS!!!

He seems really knowledgeable, his clothes are well matched and not too overdone... but that teensy cat and the rose make him seem like he’s also got a softer side? I picture him being smart, stern when he needs to be but otherwise gentle and somewhat romantic, maybe with a good sense of humour! This is just what I get from his customisation, am I way off track here?

Was Hephaestus your random progen!? If so, hot dayum, those are some lucky colours!!!

Rainbow

Ahhh Rainbow, rainbow is stunning!!! I love how well you’ve perfectly complimented Wisteria Iri with the purples while the silvers in the white silks tie it together with the blues! She’s so mystic!! I wonder what ways in which she advises Nyx? Is she like a seer or a mystic who helps Nyx find the answers she seeks?

The cards remind me of Tarot Cards so I get this image of her consulting the cards when Nyx needs guidance or something. I am just wildly speculating, of course, not trying to decide their personalities!!

She’s absolutely gorgeous, I love Circuit!!!

EDIT: I just freaking noticed there’s the word ‘’seer’’ I am a fool!

Jerretta 

Hnnnnng, HNNNNNNNG!!! Jerretta is so freaking gorgeous!!! The blues and purples are prominent in every dang section... even the companion, everything. I like that you’ve gone with the obvious Ice elements, but mixed them perfectly with the Shadow – wow, this is a very obvious lair review so far, I’m sorry!

AAAAHHH YOU’VE MATCHED THE FAMILIAR COLOURS SO PERFECTLY!!

A part of me is like “Witch trickster.... then where’s the witch’s hat, yo”. But I kind of like that you haven’t gone with the obvious choice and instead the magic and illusion is more prominent through the companion and the floating candles lol.

Bayou

Ah yes, Bayou. The Fisher, Waterbeast Keeper and, of course, perhaps the most important ROLE HERE.

And while I’m being a sarcastic pr**k, WOW, WHAT A BEAUTIFULLY COLOURED AND GENED COATL, WHAT A GORGEOUS ACCENT, WHAT A NICELY MATCHING OUTFIT... BETTER RUIN IT WITH A SWARM OF FREAKING FISH AND BUBBLES SO YOU CAN BARELY SEE ANYTHING!

But seriously.... no, seriously, FECK THOSE FISH!

Bayou is gorgeous though, a very fitting flight rep!

Chronos

WEIRD UNCLE! WEIRD UNCLE! WEIRD UNCLE! THAT IS THE BEST ROLE I’VE EVER SEEN!!!!

Shame it’s wasted on a massive ball of Purple and blue. It looks like two ghosts Sims got in a fistfight

But sass aside, he’s actually kind of gorgeous? I love the little cat that just sneaks in there under the distracting cards!

Holy crap “Time Traveller” DOES HE THINK HE TRAVELS THROUGH TIME BUT DOESN’T REALLY!? DOES HE JUST TELL TALL TALES!? I NEED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT HIM IMMEDIATELY!

The more I think about it, the more this outfit is kind of perfect! It’s a kooky clusterfeck which kind of seems perfect for the weird uncle “time traveller” sort of thing!

He’s definitely my favourite so far!

Holy crap and the Nightfall imp sort of reminds me of an excited old man with a big bushy beard so it works sooo well IMO!

Ceto

Captain – Water Priest – Diva

This is so apt! That is essentially a sophisticated breakdown of my initial reaction to her! She’s so official looking but overly decorated, this is absolutely perfect! AND HOW GORGEOUS IS THAT ACCENT!? OMG! LOVE IT! – so far you use a lot of blues and purples for a Nature lair... I LOVE THAT! You’re not limiting yourself to the Nature aesthetic! Good! YAS!

Persephone

Okay, first off, for some reason I read the name phonetically at first. So Persephone will forever be Purse Phone to me, ahaha.

Purse Phone is soo beautiful!! You’ve matched all the greens & Blues SO perfectly and the white totally dominates as a focal piece... but those butterflies. Why this? WHY THIS!? I feel like now you’re just messing with me! The Spring’s Breath compliments the Aqua SO PERFECTLY ... but the butterflies make me sad inside. Admittedly it’s likely just because I hate the butterflies as much as I hate the fish, so it’s probably just me, ha-ha.

Good ol’ Purse Phone

Penthus 

This is so freaking clever! The tormenter in a creepy mask, skulls, with jingly bells for extra effect and spirals on their hands and feet. Everything is like it’s designed to be strange and kind of unnerving!!

It looks like they could torment just by approaching people in that gear! Is that pretty much what they do? Or is there more to it? Is it like, a prank/jokester sort of torment or are they a little more sinister in their actions and motivation??

This one has me the most intrigued!!

Peitho 

Aaaahhhh! Stunning, stunning, stunning!!!! This is perhaps the nicest Bog I’ve ever seen! The colours are amazing, and the accent compliments it so perfectly! I love how much her little kitty familiar stands out against her, like she’s just taken on a common house pet as her mystic partner! I was surprised to see she wasn’t linked to Iris in her bio, they seem like they’d have a lot in common!

Hades

Soooo perfect!! Look at how well the gold silks work with the Solar Flame gear and the Teardrop Pearls!? This is absolutely beautiful! Your customisations are so varied, but I REALLY love what you do with purples!!!

Boreas

Okay, Boreas is actually kind of unsettling? Like, on one hand she reminds me of a scene/emo kid with stripy socks and gloves who has just started to dabble in the gothic (the jewellery and flower crown) but there’s something about the way the accent looks around the eyes with the monocle that’s kind of creepy? I can’t quite put my finger on it! I really love her, I kind of hate that I love her, but she’s really, really pretty!! (and SUCH a nonconformist)

[Okay, so I know this is already super duper long but I feel like i haven’t gone deep enough into your lair so i’ll be posting a Part 2 over the next couple of days, sorry about the delay!!]
