Oooo- ask game! For the Fanfiction Writing Ask:

55! 62 (for ME: Absolution)! And 75 (for research purposes).

Hi, @tafferling ! Thank you for sending me this; it really had me thinking! I’ll put it under a cut because it’s going to be pretty long, lol

55. Have you noticed any patterns in your fics?  Words/expressions that appear a lot, themes, common settings, etc?

No, I don’t think so. Unless rare pairs and OCs can be considered a theme.

I seem to like starting my stories with a line of dialogue, sometimes from canon. I enjoy doing that, and I don’t care if it’s considered ‘meh’ in writing circles. This is fanfic. Readers will recognise it, and I get a kick out of making an immediate connection that, in turn sets the scene.

62. In Absolution, is there a deleted scene/idea you wish you could have included?  Why did it get cut?

No, I think everything in the main story is still there. It’s just evolved over time.

I do have Emrys’s origin story, everything leading up to that point where he reaches self-awareness, mostly written. I plan to release it as an epilogue since it’s ridiculously spoilerific and in a slightly darker (currently nsfw) tone. It’s a tragic love story.

Emrys eludes to it when questioned by Yin:

"I've been meaning to ask you, how did they do it? How did the turians build a ship powered by a mass relay? It's hard to get my head around."

"Hmm." Emrys seemed to think on the question for a while before responding, "Several project leads were overseeing their respective areas on the design and construction. One of them was a brilliant young scientist. He had been a child prodigy, in fact, thought to be a genius. By the time he reached adulthood, he had unlocked secrets of mass effect technology that others before him, and since, have only dreamt of. His level of understanding, skills and knowledge were unprecedented. He was indeed ahead of his time."

Yin was transfixed, "what happened to him?" he asked.

"Oh, it's not an unusual story. At the apex of his career, he fell in love. It got him into all kinds of trouble. He was never the same after that." Emrys said, staring forward as if he knew what that was like.

And if you put that together with the following from the infamous chapter 13:

</Personnel Record: Shyyla Cirian

/Rank: Doctor [SPECIAL ORDER] sibling of Primarch Jasris Cirian.  

/Assignment: Head of AI development

/Current location: THS Absolution, deck 15, section 001

/Status: DECEASED.

 

/end of report.>

You know a love story between a young and gifted engineer and the head of AI development (the Primarch’s sister, no less, who’s caught the eye of the evil General) will be heart-wrenching. But the best origin stories are usually tragic. And I like dark tales with romance.

75. Is there a particular fic that readers gravitated towards that you didn’t expect?

I’m glad that you asked this one. There’s always that one fic, right? The one that you spat out in an afternoon but stands head and shoulders above the rest, not by comments or kudos, but by hits because nobody comments on porn.

I mean seriously, it’s trash! I’d delete it, but the stats don’t lie, lol

Thank you again for such a lovely ask and for supporting my oc brain rot. It truly means the world to me. 🙏🏼💕🥰

Hello hello, thoughts on jegulus? 🎤

*don’t boo me*

i just…..haven’t been able to get behind it fully 😭 i’ve read a few fics w background jegulus and i tried to read crimson rivers and like……i get it. i rly do. best friends brother is an age old trope. grumpy vs. sunshine is also an age old trope. like i understanddddd, i just cant fully get into it.

maybe it’s bc there’s so much potential for angst and i am notttt an angst girlie, or maybe it’s bc i feel like i relate less to those two characters?? i don’t know but whatever it is i just can’t get my teeth into it like some other ships

but y’all do you i’ll cheer on all your fluff & angst & smut & freaky shit from the sidelines 🕺🕺

#u ask tortoise answers #anon #let me be clear i am not an anti #wolfstar just owns my heart mind and soul #and jily makes me ✨🤭🥰🥹🤲💕 #WAIT hold on…….. #i can get into some james/lily/regulus #that’s some cute shit #that’s some potentially *freaky* shit #i’m here for that #send me that

For the fic writer asks:

56 and 37!

This is going to be a personal one, probably long winded again, so I’ll put it under a cut.

56. Are there any fics that you would change or rewrite if given the chance?

The current version of Absolution is a rewrite. I’ve changed minor things, like how Kat used to call Seb ‘Boss’ - after a while, I found I didn’t like it. I wanted them to be closer and less formal with each other.

I also re-added in the confirmation that Yin is trans. He always has been, but I was afraid I’d get hate for it, so initially, that part had been cut. I felt brave after enlisting the help of a sensitivity reader and reinstated it for the re-write.

I don’t believe you have to ban writers from writing the ‘other’. It’s like acting. A good actor should be able to play any part, regardless of their personal experiences. Who I am really shouldn’t come into it. And if we want more inclusive and diverse stories, demanding cishets stick to only writing cishet is not going to help that cause. Careful research and enlisting sensitivity readers is the way forward.

The original version of the fic is still up but archived locked. I only got to chapter 9 before I had a falling out with my previous beta, which coincided with falling ill with depression. I wanted to die, ended up in therapy, and so on. It took a lot to return to the story after that. It was like returning to the scene of the crime. ‘Oh, and here’s where I fell ill and wanted to kill myself’ like fuuuuuck.

2020 was tough on everyone. Like many, I was already struggling, so lockdown took all of it and held it under a microscope. The most important thing is that I sought help, I’m recovering, and I started writing again. I took that opportunity to rewrite the story from scratch. I like how it’s going so far, but…

37. What fic has been the hardest for you to write?

Again, Absolution. It still feels like an impossible hill to climb, made worse by association with my illness, and it is an OC fic in a fandom notoriously hostile to OC fics. A fandom I now dislike for being a toxic dumpster fire. And the other related canon ‘Absolution’ happened.

I found it very hard to return to the Abby again after that or even speak of it. It feels wrong. Part of me wants to go back and rewrite it again, removing the ‘absolution’ part so that I don’t cringe every time I like to talk about my fic. (Notice how I rarely mention it on my blog unless asked). I’m getting better at it, but I still find it jarring. But the name is so essential, woven into the very fabric of the story. It’s the name of the goddamn ship and the theme of the entire piece. It would be very hard for me to remove it at this point.

Bioware has upset me. The whole reason I started writing it was because their narrative has more plot holes than a seventies string shopping bag. I know it’s just a big coincidence, but I feel like they stole my subtitle on purpose, and now the only reason I want to finish it is out of pure spite because I believe I can write a better story than them with one eye shut, standing on my head, dancing the Macarena. I mean, look how I’ve been able to fix their story retrospectively without touching canon events at all. It’s easy. I don’t know why they didn’t do it themselves. Canon is just asking for fic writers to fix their shit when they’ve been so blatantly incompetent. 🙄

I didn’t find it hard to come up with the story. I’m just finding it hard to care about Mass Effect these days. Or the videogame industry as a whole in recent years. It feels like just one letdown after another. Games have never exactly been award-winning sci-fi, but it has felt increasingly like the story part of game development has meant less and less to developers over the years. They now sacrifice everything - story, most of all - just to get something out of the door. It’s depressing.

Sorry to end on such a bum note. It’s always going to be angsty talking about which fics were the hardest.

I am still committed to finishing Absolution. Spite alone is a powerful motivator, but your and other’s support makes the struggles worthwhile.

I’m sorry I haven’t got back onto AO3 this week. I prefer using it on the laptop, and I just haven’t had a chance to switch it on. I also wanted to pace myself, savouring all your lovely comments because I rarely have so much interest in my work.

I would have replied earlier this evening, but I had to lie down with a headache. Whew, it’s been a tough day. My head still hurts.

Thank you for the ask! I wanted to make sure that I at least reply here! Feel free to ask about the Abby any time. I am working on chapter 17. It’s just been a slow process because of, you know, everything above. It kind of kills the creative process. Talking about it with fellow readers and writers reignites that spark, so thank you from the bottom of my heart. 🙏🏼💕🥰

Barbie and Ken agree on a few things…but the main one is that they both LOVE YOU!!

This is one of the sweetest messages ever slkjsldfsdf. They butt heads so much in the film to the point where I thought, the first time watching, "is this really supposed to be THE Barbie™ and Ken™??? they're nothing like what I thought they'd be???" and one of the funniest and most surreal scenes to witness (at least for me) is the scene where Barbie and Ken are outside of the library and she sighs "just don't get in trouble!" and Ken grits his teeth and strangles the air exasperatedly growling "I WONNNN'T." and Barbie gives him a stern Mom Glare. it's so funny. it's so unlike what Barbie and Ken are supposed to be, or what we normally see outside of the movie anyway. I'm so used to hearing about them being such a sappy, in-love couple who would die for each other. Ken being so heavily devoted to the point of self destruction and Barbie being so annoyed and indifferent to his love is hilarious and nothing like I expected when going into this film.

So you writing to me that they can agree on only a few things, but one main thing: they love me??? THAT'S SO SWEET???? I think the only time they actually genuinely get along with each other in the movie is when they exit the shop in the real world, wearing their western outfits. "We look great!" "I love fringe!" "I love denim!" "Ha ha haaaa!!" That was it... that was such a cute, friendly moment. I love the idea of them having that same friendly energy when they talk about their cute girlfriend who fell from the stars 🥰🌟💕✨
