I am. I just. I cannot. BREAKING MIRRORS???? ADHKHHIJJDJHDHRHHHRHEH. Comfort? I feel like it’s been so long since I’ve read comfort on your blog 💀💀. Not that it’s a bad thing, the angst is exquisite, but like hurt/comfort is one of my favorite tropes. This was also exactly what I needed. I’ve been feeling really down abt my body lately how it’s too big and not proportioned right and how my face looks gross. Stuff like that you know? I was not expecting to be hit with this kind of comfort. It’s exactly what I needed so thank you so much for writing it.

Shirtless fictional characters are always a great motivation 😌. Oh speaking of which i might just hop on Pinterest and start looking for Izana fanart 👀👀. I WILL NEVER BE ANNOYED IF YOU START POSTING TR CONTENT ON YOUR BLOG WHETHER THEY BE FICS OR MANGA PANELS ILL TAKE THEM ALL. *ahem* Also. I went into the episode expecting to fall harder for Nagi. But no. I fell for Reo as soon as I saw him. THE HECK WHAT IS THIS SORCERY I DONT KNOW A SINGLE THING ABT HIM AND IM IN LOVE HES JUST AADGJKHFHHFRR YES. When you say you’re excited abt posting your angst wips my guard goes up immediately it’s not even funny anymore like pls I wanna say spare me but I also need more at the same time 😭💀. I read your post and I’m so excited for more Bachira and Chigiri content!!!! Bachira being my favorite character and all. And also Chigiri during the last episode shot an arrow into my heart. Even tho I had some reservations abt him before watching the episode its all good now. I have another pretty boy to love 🥰.

DUDE I NEED TO TALK ABT THE FIC CAUSE IM JUST ASTONISHED. Like Nagis was so so so sweet if made me go awww so many times. And Oliver made me giggle a lot it’s adorable. And Rins? Phew sir no need to mess with me like that 😮‍💨. I also really liked how you described all the negative thoughts of the reader. A lot of them are what I think abt myself when I’m not feeling the best so it was really relatable reading it. Thank you again I don’t think you know how much reading that meant to me it’s exactly what I needed seriously.

How are you btw? How’s uni? Also I’ve been meaning to ask but what’re some of your favorite things? Like in general? Shows and mangas and books and snacks etc? I always get on here ranting abt stuff but I wanna let you know that I wanna get to know you too. It’s a two way straight you know? Only if you’re comfortable sharing ofc. I hope you’re taking care of yourself and that you have a good day!! *sends virtual hugs*

Starry! ♡⸜(˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝ I hope yk i changed the screensaver of my phone to tr - I blame you for that (lovingly ♡)

This is gonna be a long ask ;

So i had this idea for a while and since I have a hub of angst works on my blog, I wanted to try a hand at comfort but with an angst to fluff (yeah i love that troupe as well) the reason I made this piece is cause of both, to indulge myself in writing comfort as well as to comfort people who are reading it and another element was capturing the realism of it... like. Usually when I read body positivity fics... the details of it are very vague. I wanted to put in something that was more descriptive, reasons why you hate that part of yourself- tiny details that do matter; and I ended up creating this. I was hesitant in posting this at first but then I reminded myself that it was for me and for a person on the other side of the screen who could be comforted by it when they couldn't really talk about these to someone or just in general.

And I'm glad it worked ૮꒰ ˶• ༝ •˶꒱ა ♡ And I hope you feel better now

I plan on making more editions and going further, it might include more sensitive topics as well-

Istg. When i saw kunigami without a shirt *saves image*, and Rin *saves image*, Nagi *saves image* but I really wanna see Oliver

૮₍˶Ó﹏Ò ⑅₎ა

Oh god Izana fanart. I did find one on twitter and istg the amount I- reason for my laughter. (contemplating if i should make this my screensaver or not)

I have a tr content supporter!! I had an idea in mind for the tr boys in mind- and since i got hyped for it. I'm gonna start working on that once i read the manga cause i wanna make sure this fits in the character analysis as well. Rindou came to mind for some reason

Chigiri is pretty! I can't stress enough on how he looks good and I even figured the footballer he is based on- Reo is officially Nagi's caretaker; so mature.

Oml i'm making a reputation for myself with the angst i write... but there's the thing; for every angsty piece i write, i always make sure to put a sequel that is equally satisfying and comforting (in a weird way and not in the complete lovey dovey way) it takes time to make those because if I rush it, it doesn't end well with me being angry about the low quality I wrote and the readers being unsatisfied as well... but yeah I know what I wanna write for Bachira and Kaiser (yes. Kaiser is arriving on his royally spoilt ass on this blog)

Going back to the fic, so on how I write nagi I use a lot of the "..." cause I imagine him to be a timed pause speaker; as for Oliver. He is playful and yeah that made me giggle too. (its the 'cold cup of water' isn't it?) as for Rin go to horny jail *bonk* i couldn't imagine him to be the type to talk these kinds of problems out cause he is rude. and he knows it so he dommed his way through it (*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ) and i am not sorry.

So i know that my bio says 'part time model' but truth is; most of the content is based on my experience. like i mentioned before, the details of body positivity fics are very vague. But what I wanted to do was get down and dirty with it, expose everything and not keep it under wraps because it continues to be hidden yk? people can't openly talk about it when these kind of minor things do exist and they can cause a person's confidence to tarnish and maybe have other people think less of them. And I hoped that this would make someone's morning read when they're getting ready for college, uni, work etc. when they aren't feeling their best and need that kind of confidence... even if it is just from reading my works. and always, you're welcome !! it means a lot to me when my writing helps someone even in the smallest ways ♡꒰ᵕ༚ᵕ⑅꒱

i'm doing pretty well, working on some research papers and stuff, working out as well just having a slow and easy week and keeping everything in balance yk? Roomies are helping me with the weights at the gym- said i was a pussy if i didn't get another lift in. istg i'm gonna smack their ass with a wet towel this week

As for uni, new story. Another classmate of mine, lets call him victor, tall as a tree just walks up to me during recess the other day and goes 'that is one ugly shirt.' he looks like he hasn't even showered for a month and turned up to class wearing pajamas. fucking. pajamas. ugh. (I did tell him that if that's the way he flirts, I'm surprised his ex didn't break up with him sooner- i am not sorry. )

Some of my favorite things... hm. That's a tough one.

I like rainy days, dogs (i want a cerberus so badly- ⸝⸝⸝╸▵╺⸝⸝⸝; i'm good with cats but some of them like to scratch me for some reason?- childhood memory unlocked), pink shirts - i have a lot of them and my roomie steals them, warm blankets, swimming, basketball (i play), red roses, oceans, perfumes, plushies, bears and whales, music, working out, sketching, traveling, reading and just... talking to people.

Shows : I was watching skam (not the french one- the Norwegian one), normal people, extraordinary attorney woo young woo, dark (that. show.), sense8 is on my watchlist- i did watch a bit of it but never got to complete it, the tail of the nine tailed- i wanna finish it but it was stretched out and i didn't want to watch after a bit (*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ)

My roomies are into k drama and they think anime is 'cartoon.' - when they see the budget used int he eps tho (*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ)

Anime : there is a lot since I've been watching anime since i was 5, Zatchbell/ gashbell was my first and i watch it sometimes, sailormoon, bleach (never got completed), Jojo's bizarre adventure (watched it all the way to stone ocean- god. the joestar fam is so blessed, Lisalisa (*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ) , Tokyo rev (i was watching it with my mom and she got mad when I watched an ep without her), death note (my dad got invested with it and then dropped it- let me see if i can get him to watch bllk this christmas cause he is a football maniac), kaichou wa maid sama (my fav misaki is my idol), blue exorcist, hanayori no dango (this was used to make boys over flowers), kuroko no basuke, Kamisama Hajimemashita (my mom loves it -), Tomie, another, naruto, yamishibai, AOT ( my siblings just have debates about the whole conspiracy on the table and this time,,, I know its gonna be about tr) - there are a lot more animes so i might have to make a separate post abt that

Snacks : Since I'm part asian... ik you guys are (probably) gonna figure out a bit of my ethnicity cause of it Guava with chilli powder and salt. It tastes amazing and its healthy too; pears, apples. Pocky, pringles, coke (yeah i have an unhealthy side too) and meiji's yan yan a lot of chocolate.

Manga/ books : Blue lock (caught up with it), slam dunk, tomie, chainsawman, tokyo rev - i think i have some panels saved, black butler, bleach, your lie in april, skip beat, nana, don't bully me nagatoro - yeah i've read one too many manga (even that hentai one that released earlier this year) and I bought one- confidential confessions

Books : my fav is probably anne of green gables - read it when i was younger but it is still fresh in my memory, reading Sigmund Freud (interpretation of dreams...), memoirs of a geisha (a gift from my aunt), verity (something that kinda but doesn't haunt me), sherlock holmes and the hounds of the baskerville was my first novel, it was kinda a picture book.

It's a mess ik. but i mostly read non fic works as i grew older. And yeah it goes both ways! idm sharing !! ꒰ᐢ. ̫ .ᐢ꒱

Tell me about you! Only if you want to tho!

*sending back big hugs*

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

Hope you have a great day/evening/late night/etc.

✌🏼&💜

—sora—

aaah thank you so so much, baby!! I truly appreciate your sweet words, youre the cutest! regarding your question: You shares an apartment with Iwa, Oikawa and Yahaba (who also works at the tattoo studio!) and i don't know to be really honest- I just like the thought of these three being really good friends so after contemplating whether or not to go with iwaoi or matsuhana, I ended up going with those two dorks! hope you have a good one baby mwah!!

i was tagged by @honestlyfrance. thanks for this, it’s so much fun!

WHICH OF YOUR FICS…

…did you think would get a bigger reaction/audience than it got?

writing for buckyrhodey it’s a guarantee that i’ll get low reaction but my on-going baby Distant Stars it’s a monster of a SteveTony fic disguised behind a so-far false pretense that is a shared fic with BuckyRhodey.

…got a better reaction than you expected?

definitely my previously (as of, literally a few days ago) most kudo’ed work, The Mess That We’ll Become (leaves something to talk about) for the Élite fandom. Not only did I not expect to get that much attention because the fandom is arguably smaller than other fandoms I had written for so far but also because not a lot of people seemed to be into the MMF ship the fic is about lol

…is your funniest?

i consider myself to be a very fluffy, funny-crack fic writer so almost all my works have some sort of funny bit or dialogue here and there but if I had to pick the funniest it would be both of the series of the Holy Trinity and their Token White Guy: The One With The Back-Seat Drama, The One With The Lousy Method To Help Sleep, aaand this WiP I don’t know if I’ll ever pick up but sigh, it had a couple of really funny three chapters

…is your darkest or angstiest?

i don’t usually write too angsty or heavy fics bc it’s tiring to get in that mindset now but years ago I guess I was more into it and I wrote You’re Still Written In The Scars On My Heart, which still has a happy ending anyway, bc that’s who I am as a person. Also, I think Until We Meet Again bc I was coming from the Endgame trainwreck and it hurt to write.

ps. I am in the process of writing yet my angstiest fic as a continuation of my last buckyrhodey fic and I’m really excited abt pushing myself further with that.

…is your absolute favourite?

Now, what kind of question to ask a writer is that? It’s like asking a parent to pick between children. That being said, I do have favorites but never just One favorite bc no.

Reason Why (if only because it was the first lenghty -by my standards- fic I managed to finish)

Distant Stars (bc duh, I’ve been working on it for longer than two years now)

I've never seen a mouth that I would kill to kiss (bc even though it’s a little plot-less AU, I think it’s a testament to how much I think I’ve improved in my writing)

…was easiest to write?

I think To All The Boys Rhodey’s Loved Before was pretty easy because I just had to take from the bits of the movie that worked for me and then the scenes I added for this own AU came to me from the beginning so I never really struggled with anything to write this.

…was hardest to write?

Smut is my absolute kryptonite when it comes to writing something so the begining of I’ve never seen a mouth that I would kill to kiss was a Challenge (tm), as well as a few others of my early BuckyRhodey stuff.

…has your favourite lines/exchange/paragraph? (Share it!)

ok, I’m going to INDULGE myself with this lmao:

“Blood-filled hands like his don't get to hold such precious things.” -- from I Love You (ain't that the worst thing you've ever heard?)

“What a pair we are,” Rhodey says, amused.

“What a pair we are,” Bucky says, in love. -- from Reason Why

“It’s somewhat astonishing —Rhodey muses as he watches the TV in the American embassy unfold the current events happening at the Vienna International Centre — how fast can shit hit the fan.” -- from All Misinformation Open To Interpretation

“Stark is dead and it definitely sucks more than Steve fucking off to another universe to retire. But gone is gone, no matter how you slice it. And it takes miserable and lonely to know miserable and lonely.” -- from Until We Meet Again

“He was being touched with the uttermost care, kissed by soft lips. He was being wanted as if he was brand-new and unscarred.

Rhodey had managed to caress and love every corner of him that Bucky swore he would hate. Rhodey had proven him wrong.” -- from (I've been sleeping so long in a 20-year dark night) And now I see daylight

“Even shit-faced, Carla Rosón Caleruega was a sight to see.” -- from Hesitate

And from my last few works:

“Life’s about the little steps. From holding your own head up to your first movements crawling, to standing up and falling until you walk. From talking to reading to writing. From pre-school to high school to college.

From falling in love to falling into your grave.” -- from I've never seen a mouth that I would kill to kiss

“Alex really thought they could’ve made it work before, but as they got older he just realized he and Luke weren’t as birds of a feather as they once were.

And soon it became either their dream or their relationship and they both agreed on something, after all.

Even as he broke both of their hearts, Alex knew he would love Luke forever. He just wasn’t sure about how.

Luke was kept busy writing, Alex was kept busy playing-pretend with his family and Church camp.

But they didn’t drift apart, could never have been able to, so they just had to endure a few awkward weeks of uncomfortable silence and bitter arguments about the band.

Until Alex and Luke were fifteen, and Reggie came blasting into their lives like a saving grace.” -- from Time Will Stand Still (if we stay young in love)

…have you re-read the most?

definitely Distant Stars. Each time I get a writers block or I get bummed out about writing it, I re-read it to find my motivation again

…would you recommend to someone reading your work for the first time?

lmao i really dont know. probably Hesitate or the last three fics I’ve posted for the Julie and the Phantoms fandom. Also, I've never seen a mouth that I would kill to kiss just bc my beta readers did an amazing job with me on that one.

…are you most proud of?

Again, I would have to say Distant Stars. The amount of time I’ve put on that fic and love I’ve poured it’s like no other. It’s the one work I keep going back to.

I really have no idea who to tag now bc i’ve lost touch with so many of my mutuals who also write so idk, IF YOU SEE THIS AND YOU’RE A WRITER: I’M TAGGING YOU! DO IT, IT’S SUPER FUN!

#tag game #karen writes shitty fanfiction #my writing #honestly i love writing idc that mine isnt the best out there it's just a great form of escapism and #idk who id be without it #about me

2, 16, 18, 23!

Tell us about what you’re most looking forward to writing – in your current project, or a future project

wow ok this is surprisingly hard to answer! confronting! im not even sure, there isn’t anything specific ive got planned out that im excited to write. i don’t have any future projects planned out yet. or. i mean.....there are some things at the tips of my writing fingers but i can’t allow myself to think about them properly yet bc i need to focus on and commit to finishing warm water. and my thesis (ugh).

there are some things from warm water that ive already written that im excited to share, but right now im in a place where writing just isn’t going smoothly, so whenever i have an idea (like the eloquent “sweatpants dick” note i took recently) (my only contribution that day) im not all that confident or excited about it bc im afraid the actual writing itself will be a pain? that i’ll drag my feet for days and it won’t come easy and i’ll hate every second of it -- until things click and the words start flowing, not unlike this post describes. idk i keep really wanting to write and sitting down for it and then it just--won’t happen. or if i do actually try putting pen to paper i just start hating it all, which i don’t want.

so! this is a sad note to end on! here’s some vague things i am looking forward to: i’m looking forward to being excited about writing in general! i’m looking forward to writing something i’m proud of, either in terms of plot or theme or characterization or dialogue or whatever! i’m also looking forward to having that oh-my-god-the-words-are-flowing-from-me moment, regardless of the result tbh, bc i just love that feeling of loving writing and having it come easily. that’s what im excited about -- being excited about writing again.

Tried anything new with your writing lately? (style, POV, genre, fandom?)

ok so i have this terrible writing tendency to not know how to not describe every single action characters make -- every movement, every gesture. particularly on first drafts i feel the urge to describe it all, otherwise i can’t continue. i know that it’s not always necessary to write what happens every single second of a scene, but i can’t seem to stop?

idk if im explaining what i mean correctly -- there’s probably terms for this that i dont know -- but someone who i think manages to do the opposite of what i do very well is @fairhairedkings, who is really good at time jumps and not going overboard w the minute-to-minute descriptions, the way i tend to.

i know it can be pretty tiresome and it’s one of the things that annoys me a lot about my own writing, both in terms of reading it (it can be plain boring?) and for the writing itself. it blocks me! but i can’t seem to stop doing it, feel like i’m glazing over things otherwise or lose track of where im going. i have to keep reminding myself that leaving out certain things doesn’t mean that nothing happens or that people assume nothing happens.

so, to answer the question, ive tried to be a bit more concise with it’s hidden in heartbeats, exhales and in the hope of open hands when i started writing it. that fic is a product of being fed up with my other WIPs and it didn’t take more than a week from its initial idea to the finished product, so i really wanted it to be a quickie, and i thought something tight and concise could work for the plot. i didn’t actually manage to succeed though, still ended up describing just about every action there, too. i don’t think i’ll ever manage to write something concise tbh. i do bad with time jumps, i do bad with less is more, which is unfortunate, bc less can truly, truly be more. so! im gonna try this again some time!

Do any of your stories have alternative versions? (plotlines that you abandoned, AUs of your own work, different characterisations?) Tell us about them.

mmm well, warm water originally didn’t include mutual pining -- beth wasn’t supposed to be in love with rio yet, we were gonna watch her fall in love slowly, while he already felt things. but then i ended up almost turning that entirely on its head and now we’ve got the mess that is that this fic in its current state lol. there’s also an AU to warm water that i briefly considered bc of you which i won’t go into now bc of possible spoilers -- but ive considered things!!!

also for it’s hidden in heartbeats, it was supposed to be more about petty!rio and haha, look, exes trying to get “revenge”, and to be light and funny, but i realized that idk how relationships work, let alone how exes work, so i couldn’t really find any good reasons for them splitting up, at least nothing that could generate comedy, so it ended up getting fairly angsty? idk why this keeps happening -- me planning to do something rom com-esque and it developing into something wayyyyy angstier, but it did!

What’s the story idea you’ve had in your head for the longest?

oh wow idek! ive definitely been working on warm water the longest, so i guess technically that one, but there are some other ideas that have been drifting near the surface that have been there longer and are very underdeveloped and need time and nourishment and attention and love, all of which i can’t give them yet bc im trying to stay focused on warm water and thesis writing. maybe the beth/stan friendship snippet ive got hidden in somewhere in my docs!

thank youuuu for indulging me!!! meta writing asks!!!!

for the fanfic writer asks - 5, 8, 9 for "and Love", 12, 17, 25, 41, 49? (you definitely don't have to answer all of these, just whichever ones you feel like answering!)

5) If you had to choose a favourite out of all of your multi chaptered stories, which would it be and why?

Oh geez, this is hard! I’ve really enjoyed most of my multi chapter stories. Honestly, I’ve probably got to go with Beneath the Stars - that was the first really long fic I wrote for the Tolkien fandom, and it was such a labor of love. I mean, all my fics are, but that one especially I poured so much energy into, writing about the future Tauriel didn’t get to have in canon. I don’t post or write about her nearly as much as I used to, but she is still one of my all time favorite characters!

8) Where do you take your inspiration from?

Hmm… i mean, tumblr, a lot of the time! Talking about theories with people like @waitineedaname @but-what-if-i-fly @thishazeleyeddemon and @buffintruder really gets me pumped about writing! and just seeing the Silm fandom’s endless theories and analysis inspires me more every day. And reading source material, too! i have so many ideas just from my recent TFOG read, it’s crazy. I am never lacking for inspiration, it’s actually kind of a problem! I have way too many things to write!

9) In your xxx fic, what’s your favourite scene that you wrote?

[and Love]

Oh geez, that one is full of scenes I love! Probably the one where Magnus and Lucretia are under the stars on a more peaceful cycle, and they decide that they’re in a QPR. Like their whole relationship makes me so emo in general, but that particular moment…gosh, my heart is so full just thinking about it.

12) Who is your favourite character to write for? Why?

Again, this one is really tough! I already picked my Tauriel fic for my favorite multi chapter fic, so I can’t go with her… I guess Fili or Legolas! I project onto both of them a LOT, so it’s difficult for me to differentiate which is my favorite, but really any time I get to write about those boys is a delight. For TAZ it’s definitely Magnus, although I have a soft spot for Kravitz too!

17) Post a line from a WIP that you’re working on.

Most of the fic I’m working on right now is actually in the planning stages… so have this fragment from the later chapters of Unanticipated where the child of Haleth and Caranthir is struggling with their identity. [Also I literally just wrote this so it might not actually make it into the story, but the cousins meeting has been on my mind for awhile!]

“Are you a Kinslayer if you’re a half-elf who kills a mortal?” Rýndil asked bitterly. “Because then maybe I do fit in with the rest of the Fëanorians.”

“You—what?” Celebrimbor said, his eyes widening. “A half-elf?”

“I thought you’d be more concerned about the Fëanorian part.” Rýndil raised an eyebrow. “Considering you’re one yourself. That would make us cousins, wouldn’t it? Your father is Curufin. Mine is Caranthir.”

Celebrimbor stared at them, gobsmacked. “I thought I was the only one!”

“What, you’re a half-elf too?”

“No! I thought I was the only grandson of Fëanor!”

“You are. I’m not a man.” Rýndil sighed. For someone supposedly as smart as Celebrimbor, he was having some difficulties putting together the pieces. “Not a woman either, before you ask.”

“You have to meet Gil-galad,” Celebrimbor said earnestly, jumping right over that topic. “He’s—well, that’s his secret to share, not mine, but you simply must meet him.”

25) Have you ever cried whilst writing a story?

OHHHH YEAH. Several times while working on my novel! Almost any time I get to finish a really long fic! And I made myself cry while writing “and Love” during the scene where Magnus realizes Julia is dead, and then again at the incredibly sappy sweet ending where EVERYONE IS HAPPY.

41) What’s you favourite minor character you’ve written?

Ah, geez, another toughie…Gil-galad is always fun! I’ve done a couple different takes on him, and I’m planning more :) Also, Haleth - I love her so much and I’m having a lot of fun portraying her as a no-nonsense middle-aged woman. Most of the time in fandom she’s portrayed as like a young woman (and that’s totally valid!), but according to Tolkien’s notes she was actually 35 when she took command of the Haladin!

49) Can you remember the first fic you read? What was it about?

Ummm probably not the first fic I read, but I can tell you about the first one I was really obsessed with! I was on the Official Warrior Cats Forum, I was about 9 or 10? And there was some really long (at least it seemed long to me!) fic that kind of picked up where the most recent book had left off and delved really deep into a possible future. I don’t remember much about it other than it had several sequels, it was posted one-post-per-chapter in a really long thread, and it featured the child of Hollyleaf and Sol who was named “Clanheart” I believe. I loved it so much I compiled the entire thing, all of the “volumes”, into one big WordPerfect doc (my parents didn’t have Word. they still dont actually lmao) and printed it out so I could read it at school! I also would make posts in the thread of just. The entire fic in one post instead of spread out over multiple posts. The author kind of got annoyed at me doing that so I stopped, but I was sooo in love with the story. I think it really must have been one of the first fics I got into because it was also my first attempt at expressing my enthusiasm for someone else’s fanworks!

How do you know when agent is for you? You've probably already answered that, so feel free to defer me to an old post. Also how many agents should I contact at a time? Ten? (Fear not -- I am not sending this bad boy to anyone until it reaches a marginally acceptable word-count lol)

you sent this a couple days ago, but it was actually the perfect time bc i had a call with my agent today and i can explain how i know he’s the right agent for me, vs my first agent.

but first, to answer your second question now bc the first answer became a novel, i always started with a round of 10 - 20 queries, and i’d typically choose faster agents to see if my query is working to hook anyone in. if i got a rejection, i sent out a new query to another agent, just so i could feel like i was still working toward my goal. and my opinion on it is you should query absolutely anyone you want so long as they represent your genre and category. (an agent who only reps nonfiction won’t want fiction, for example, no matter how cool it sounds.) don’t be afraid that one agent is any bigger than any other and thus choose not to query them at all. if i’d done that, my agent and i wouldn’t be working together (i had a referral as he was and still is closed to queries).

now for your first question: my current agent has stuck with me for two years (i signed the contract in late july/we went on sub early august of 2016), long after many people told me he’d drop me. i still don’t really understand why he’s stuck with me, but i always know that he believes in me and my books bc he gives them the time they deserve and he’s vocal in what he likes and doesn’t like.

his client list is full and i’m one of the very few who hasn’t sold (my phoenix WIP will be book 5 with him, though we didn’t sub book 4) this far into my career pursuits. for example, he signed a client a few months after me and went on sub in december. two weeks later, she had a major deal with one of the Big 5. thus, naturally, for the first year we worked together i was concerned he’d drop me after book 1 didn’t sell and book 2 didn’t sell, but then by book 3 i had a feeling he’d stay loyal and he has.

but all of that? i didn’t know all of that when i signed with him. i had some references from writers (past and current clients, as well as those who just knew of him bc he’s a pretty big ya agent) and my experience with him during my R&R, and some hope that we’d work well together. but i also knew from clients that he’s an aggressive agent (in that he is a go-getter when it comes to subbing books, isn’t afraid to breathe down editors’ necks if they’re being slow or not communicating well, that sort of thing) and he’s also a fast reader for clients. (well, typically, depending on the time of year, but that’s true of any agent.) so all of that appealed to me bc that’s the kind of person i am.

so, to compare that to my first agent: after book 1 didn’t sell, i worked on book 2 and gave it to her and six months later she’d read no more than 150 pages of it. she kept giving me excuses, saying she was busy with this, that, and the other thing, without ever proving to me that she valued me as a client. the last straw for me was the week after the date she’d told me she’d have my book read (this was the fourth time she’d given me a date) and she just replied that she was busy with another contract and would get to me eventually. and when i fired her, she didn’t even fight to keep me. (it should be known that this book 2 with her is the one that got me my current agent.)

for some, a slow agent works well for them, especially if they’re a slower writer. i’m not. my typical first draft is done in a couple months, depending on how busy i am. so when i sent the book to her after my CPs read it and she was taking six months to read 150 pages? there was a serious problem there for me. it was too slow, too passive. but when i signed with her, i wouldn’t have known that.

and that’s the kicker. you will never know how an agent’s philosophy will work with yours until you sign with them. you can get as many references as possible and still never truly know, bc everyone’s experience with their agent is different. just look at the above with my current agent and how many people warned me against him. here we are book 5, and we just had a chat about my phoenix WIP to untangle any plot knots or tie up any loose ends.

he’s active in my career pursuits, which is how i know he’s loyal to me (and it will never stop surprising me). remember, agents only get paid if they sell your book. so long as you’re producing new material, your job is done. after that, it’s up to the agent to fulfill their job and sell it. (i’m still teaching myself this nearly six years into being an agented writer.) like i said a while ago, you don’t want to send your agent a thousand emails in a thousand threads about a thousand topics, y’know? but you also never want to feel like a burden. i still feel that way sometimes (for no other reason than i’m a worry wart, bc my agent has never made me feel that way) and i often have to get my friends to give me a kick in the pants to just bite the bullet and send the email. (this is one reason you need a support system of people who know what it’s like to be a writer pursuing traditional publishing.) so, if your agent is making you believe that you’re a burden to them? time to 1) have a chat and/or 2) fire them. both of those can be done over email, as mine were with my first agent.

another way to tell they’re the one for you is that they want to know about your life. not in explicit details, ofc, but enough that they can get a picture of who you are. like today, my agent and i were talking about college bc my little sister is starting freshman year and his eldest daughter is touring for schools. our last phone call we were talking about a concert he went to see where one singer was so hot he came onto the stage in a nude bodysuit. i’ve mentioned my surgery to him, my brother dying, and graduating college, and he’s told me about his daughter’s surgery, where he’s hoping to travel next summer, and how his daughter went on a study abroad thing for a few weeks in the spring. none of it’s deep, but it’s enough that if you two are sitting at a table over dinner at some conference, you’re not going to be sitting there in silence. you won’t feel like strangers to each other.

and everyone, of course, has different philosophies on that. it works well for me bc the more i know him, the better i feel about emailing him or explaining why i included one subplot. i have a friend who doesn’t really ever talk to her agent now that she’s sold a book bc that’s just not how it works for her. another friend talks to her agent more than i talk to my own, and she and he have met up a few times for dinners and whatnot when she’s in NYC. many writers will go to NYC to meet with their agent and editor after they’ve sold a book. (a lot of publishing is about who you know because that can really get your foot in the door. for example, a lot of editors now know me by name and ask for my work. when i query my adult book, i’ll be querying some former editors, now agents who read my books when my agent sent them out on sub.)

and lastly bc holy shit this is a novel, you want to make sure you know where you stand in terms of control over sub. some agents don’t want their clients to suggest editors, while others are willing to look at some you suggest. i’ve given my agent several referrals from friends to sub to their editors and he’s always happy to take them up on it (well, within reason, bc if he’s heard some iffy stuff about editors he won’t send them, no matter what). in the end, i always leave it up to him, since he’s the professional who makes lasting relationships with any editors, scouts, foreign rights agents, film producers, etc etc.

to end this, lemme do a TL;DR: to know if an agent is for you, you need to trust and have faith in your agent with your books and your career, you need to feel comfortable with them (it doesn’t always come right away, believe me, bc you are virtually strangers), you need to have an idea of what kind of working relationship you have in mind and see if your agent shares the same philosophy, and you need to make sure your agent doesn’t make you feel like a burden. when you get off the phone with your agent, you need to feel energized to start working (as i do rn, as it happens) and not dreading the edits in a certain way: everyone dreads edits, especially if they’re intense. that’s not what i mean. i mean that if you dread the edits bc you don’t agree with them, feel it would change a huge portion of your book, or veer it far away from your vision, you need to consider whether to argue with your agent on this matter or part ways.

i think, overall, working with agents seems more daunting than it really is for no other reason than how hush-hush everyone is told to be–and with good reason. publishing is a small industry and people talk (i’m the head of the department of redundancy department, in case you didn’t know bc I say that so often 😂), so you don’t want to start publicly complaining about any specific person, naming names and pointing fingers and whatnot. you also don’t want to tweet that you just got an offer of rep bc any other agents looking at your feed (as they often do when considering you as a client) will probably decide you’ve tipped your hat already and dont want to compete. celebrate in private, basically. so agented writers are often silent on any given matter for no other reason than protecting their careers/reputation, but most writers are happy to talk in private if a potential client emails them to ask how this agent works and how happy they are with that agent.

and i really need to shut up. i hope some of my ramblings make sense and have some feeble sense of direction, but if not, ask away! (as you can see, i like to ramble 😂).

for the ask game! simile, tone, flashback and repetition maybe?

Thank you for the ask! :D

Simile: Tag two writeblrs whose WIPs you admire OR tell me about two authors who impacted your writing. Probably SpiralOfShame (the author of Armour best used; gathering dust) and scribblingdragon (author of Shifting Perspective) on ao3, they both have a very unique style and a great way with the angst and give the narrator a unique "personality" (even if the narrator is a character in the story), i guess? i dont really know how to describe it- but i try to go for their kinda vibe whenever i'm writing angst!

Tone: Why do you write? Do you write for a purpose or just for fun? I write because of a lot of reasons! I usually either have a really cool idea in my head that i wanna share (headcanons, scenarios, etc) or make a specific kind of *cough ships usually *cough cough* content because there isn't enough I think both of those come back to me wanting to see peoples reactions to it tho :]

Flashback: Post a short excerpt from an old piece. How much has your writing changed since then? I sadly cant *nervous chuckle*, since i deleted my old wattpad account (don't ask /lh) some time ago to get space on my phone and because of rather bittersweet memories. I also would show a more recent but still old piece but my phone broke so it got deleted sadly But i can say my writing has changed a lot over the years! I write more detailed and with more symbolism now, i do wish i could get back the bliss of ignorance towards my writing skills back then though, i feared neither god nor logic and just wrote extremely self indulgent stuff lmao

Repetition: Is there anything you find you repeat across your witting projects? Symbols, tropes, descriptions, themes? Yeah! I put a lot of symbolism and reference in my writing, most of which probably only makes sense in my head lol I often try to not outright describe things and more mention them in a sentence (example saying someone holds their hat when its windy instead of saying "the character wore a hat")

okay heres that compromise i promised on dealing with writer overflow

ill try to make this short and sweet, but pls do let me know if im unclear bc im still pretty sick and what makes sense to me might not make sense to, like, a non-febrile person =‘)

once again, pls read carefully, theres a lot to take in

● heres a walkthrough of what im thinking:

i will post a form for participants who dont mind letting a second writer create based off the idea proposed by the artist. this form will be short and sweet and completely optional, likely just url and artist number if it applies, and will be available while im abroad between march 10 and march 19.

any artist/writer pairs that happen to be in agreement will be posted in a second claims document. this will be for a lightning round, probably only open for a week or less, for second writers, after i get back from europe.

if there are still writers leftover after that, they will then be relegated to first-choice pinch-hitter, and there will probably be a third claims doc set up for that so i can keep everything nice and neat.

the last two claims rounds will happen in the background; the main claims pairings will already be confirmed and can get to work.

● here are some caveats to consider:

i mentioned in an earlier post that its unfair to force artists to take on a second writer, and its unfair to force writers to share if they dont want to esp after they claimed their artist fair and square (yes i know, timezones and all that, but no matter what timezone i post in someone is going to be upset). in order for this to work, artist/writer pairings both need to agree to allowing a second writer to create based on the story provided by the artist. the form is the solution i chose bc it can happen right away without confirming the artist/writer pairings, and its smth i can keep referring to (rather than smth like asks or messages, which can get lost....im a big fan of forms lol). >>an example of what i mean by this is such: artist 111 and katsukifatale1 are both okay with taking a second writer, and in the main claiming round they end up confirmed as a pair. they end up on the second round claim doc. artist 222 and katsukifatale2 end up confirmed as a pair, but only one of them filled out the form accepting a second writer, so they do not end up on the second round claim doc.

the writers who claim secondary will be secondary -as in, the artist/writer pairings in the current claiming round will be the main pairs, and its up to them to decide how they want to interact with the second writer. pairs can choose to work closely with the second writer as a trio, or they can choose to simply work together and let the second writer write based on the original ideas on the claims page. whatever they decide and are comfortable with is the name of the game. keep in mind if all three decide to work closely, you will need to coordinate things like the final posting date and the final submission between all three of you. it could get pretty complicated, but if you think you can make it work then i will help you.

this will absolutely cut down on the number of pinch-hitters available. it will. for sure. this is smth to think abt, bc we did have 40+ artists drop out during the wip submission process alone. i guarantee there will be more as the event goes along, and that most of them will be writers. it happens, and i cannot guarantee i will be able to find replacements. this is why some of you might consider staying on as pinch-hitters instead of second writers.

perhaps most importantly though, this second round can only take place after all artists in the current round have been claimed. its a really crappy feeling to go unclaimed while there are writers lining up to write for artists who already have someone, and it would be kind of unfair of me to allow that to happen. we all know what its like to participate in fandom, so im sure you guys get it.

● tl;dr

main round claiming will still happen. this form will be available for all participants who are okay with allowing a second writer and will happen in the background. after all artists have been claimed in the main round, the second round will begin, containing only those pairings who agreed on the second writer. the main round will be confirmed and can begin working together during this time. once the second round is confirmed everyone involved will be notified. the rest of the writers will be first-choice pinch-hitters.

in order for this to happen all artists must be claimed in the main round. there are some other issues that could arise from this but theyre all workable.

i know it might not be ideal to some of you. ive heard from many people who dont want any second writers at all, and ive heard from many who are okay with it. its impossible for me to please everyone in a way that is feasible for me as well, but this is my best compromise and what im comfortable with. hopefully this is an acceptable enough answer.

you are welcome to let me know what you think, but pls do so in a respectable manner. i got a few asks the other day not fit for public posting and its not appreciated ;) i have turned off anon for now bc im too sick to deal with that kind of thing, but it will be turned back on after the weekend is over. i apologize for the inconvenience.
