#and i can't be normal when it comes to writing longfics
Note
screaming bc i’m also in my jjk brainrot era ! im an anime only consumer so i used to not care about geto at all, but s2 changed everything like he means so much to me now 😭
and gojo is the actual love of my life and i’ve been reading so many good fics about him lately!! but ahhh if you end up writing for either of them one day i’ll eat it up fr <3
lmao SAME!! i thought geto was hot in jjk s1 and 0 but i was like hmmmm nah, he's too evil.
but after season 2 (and accidentally seeing some manga spoilers), i feel like i understand him more and i see him as such a tragic character 😭 i don't condone his actions, but if i were there he wouldn't have defected js
i really disliked gojo at first, but he's growing on me. i don't really thirst for him at all the way that i do for geto, but i think his character is really intriguing and i like reading fics about him... i just skim through the smut 💀
#i lowkey wanna do a multi-part series with gojo and geto#some kind of au because i don't think i can write curses#and not a love triangle because i need a BREAK from the drama#but something fun and smutty and maybe a lil angsty with loveinterest!geto and bestfriend!gojo???#but i'm trying not to think about it too much because i have so many other projects on the go rn#and i can't be normal when it comes to writing longfics#*cough cough* tbaw#so i need to relax until i'm done w everything else#tiff.ask#jjk#geto#gojo

All those ideas are so good! but my favorite is the cursed Targbros with an immortal life remembering what they could have been and what really was. Especially Aegon, he would probably blame himself for listening to Otto/Alicent and taking the crown and screwing up his life and his brothers'. He really believed for a moment that he was doing this to protect Jace but in the end his war killed her (aaand basically the entire family 😬) and now he can't even follow her into death. You don't have to write it down but can we talk more about that? 🥲 tell us your vision of this universe
I love talking about these things and I’m probably going to talk a little TOO much here but that’s ok 🥲
For what it’s worth, I would like to write this one day, but it would probably be a longfic and I want to focus on completing The Main Timeline before I start working on spinoffs. Modern AU is an exception because it’s a lot more lighthearted, and I can put that out one at a time as shorter fics when I need a break from heavier stuff.
^most iconic shot IMO from the Goblin Kdrama that inspired this idea. I’ll continue my rambling under the cut so I don’t spoil the show for anyone who was thinking of watching it.
Like the show, the fic would be dual timeline with cuts between the medieval Dance era and the modern era. In the modern day, the three Targbros are wandering around in their sad immortal forms. (Helaena’s role TBD, but I like the idea of her being an equivalent of the all-knowing granny in the kdrama.) Some of their memories have been locked away, but they remember enough to know they’re brothers, and their immortality has been given as a punishment. The three of them all have to do stuff that they hate. Aegon, like the kdrama grim reaper, is stuck in the bureaucracy of the afterlife sorting death paperwork. Aemond, like the goblin, has to help people *shudder*. Haven’t figured out Daeron’s job, but it probably involves being mean/violent.
Velaryon girls have been reborn into the modern world without any memories of their past lives. When they all meet, that triggers some of the Targbros’ memories to come back, and the bros freak out as they start to remember all the war crimes, treachery, etc.
Aegon’s past is very similar to the kdrama grim reaper’s backstory. He was a king who listened to bad counsel, which led to him giving the order to execute his beloved wife. Afterwards he felt so guilty that he drank himself to death/was poisoned.
Aemond, like the kdrama’s goblin, killed A LOT of people during his human life. He also caused Luce’s death in this universe’s history, which set off the Dance. He felt guilty but also doubled down on his actions (which I suspect is what Aemond will do in S2?), which led him on a downward spiral of mass violence.
Daeron (who doesn’t have an equivalent in the kdrama) came very close to finding a way to end the Dance without further violence. Joff sneaked over to meet him while he was traveling with the Hightower army to negotiate peace terms. But there was some miscommunication/betrayal (maybe caused by Hugh and Ulf), maybe some accusations of dark sorcery, which led to the army leaders having Joff burned at the stake.
Fast forward to modern day, where the girls (who are reborn as sisters because I don’t wanna keep them apart) are dealing with normal life issues like trying to pay bills, dead-end jobs, etc. Suddenly these three randos show up, acting overly familiar and having very extreme mood swings (because they’re dealing with resourcing memories). And the girls are just like… “They’re hot but they seem kinda crazy, idk. 🤨”
I haven’t really thought of the rest, sorry 😅.

14 and 23 fic asks!
end of year fic asks
14. a fic you didn't expect to write
UM. definitely my current wip that i've been working on since like the last week of august or something. 37k and counting and it's still only about half done. like okay! literally the longest fic i've written since high school and everything of comparable length i've written is shit!
23. fics you wanted to write but didn't
uhhhhhh do the multiple planned sequels to my current wip that i cannot physically justify writing before i finish it count
otherwise there's like 4 other things, in order of likelihood that i'd actually work on them:
another pikmin fic entirely unrelated to my current wip. i actually have some of this written but i haven't touched it in like 2 months for no particular reason. basic premise started out as "Hm what if there were long-term consequences to The Events of p4" and then turned into midsommar lmao.
Manhattan, a tribute one- or two-shot to one of my favorite fic series of all time, The Station Sequence (Wells Street Station / The Ellipse / Promenade / Narodnaya) by Marquis Carabas. Fucking INCREDIBLE takes on Coraline and the kind of trauma that would naturally arise from her circumstances, but also an excellent example of She Who Fights Monsters and the impact that that has on herself and other people. I have a lot of very specific headcanons regarding parts of this series that I would have wanted to turn into a ten-year-anniversary tribute or whatever but unfortunately I didn't think of that until both the "series start" and "series end" anniversaries had long passed. But I'm absolutely going to write this anyway at some point - there are just too many specific ideas and some of them are already partially written.
the ninjago AU longfic that i've been planning... definitely since i finished crystallized, possibly since the s15 finale (but i don't think so, i remember the early concept was much more "this is an AU of crystallized" than "this is an AU of ninjago in general" so it was probably when i finished crystallized). the concept has Evolved a lot since then, but the basic premise is that sea!nya and a weird version of zane that i invented whole-cloth out of implications... they don't really "team up" as much as "orbit around each other for a billion years" in a way. julien is heavily involved, because you KNOW i can't resist that shit, and so are echo and harumi. i've already done a lot of Figuring Out with this universe or whatever but it'd take a Lot More and frankly DLD has much higher priority.
a few miscellaneous sciadv fics that i wrote a little bit of but which unfortunately did not go anywhere, and then amadeus wasn't nearly as important in A;C as i was hoping she'd be RIP. these are probably dead unfortunately the motivation is basically gone. ironically i might circle back to writing something for O;9 at some point instead - going in i thought it'd be horrible from what little i knew about it (unfinished VN/light novels and Breasting Boobily: The Anime), but actually i watched the anime back in september. aside from the pacing in the first few episodes feeling like i got infected with radical-6 and then started watching a normal show, it was LITERALLY fantastic and i am still fucking thinking about it. but! no plot bunny, fic needs a plot bunny. maybe something would come to me on a rewatch though.
thanks for the ask! :D

I really enjoy your TTOU AU. I’m curious if you’re going to continue writing chapters for it. Thanks for your awesome writing!!! 😊
*side-eyes people in my DMs*
Here's the short answer: I plan on it, but cannot give an estimated start date since other varying things are taking priority. In the meantime, know I love you and your support, Greyscale, as it keeps me going.
Long answer under the cut.
The thing about The Thick of UNIT is this: it's very long and very convoluted. At this juncture I need to do a complete read-through, probably do some slight editing to what's already up, take a long look at what I have planned, and then edit that to hell and back as I tighten the story and get it on track again. The main things keeping me from doing this are:
Size: We're talking 225k words thus far by AO3's estimation. That's a lot to go through! And that's just the main story! It's 283.5k words with all the extras!
Time: There's only so much spare time I have available to write, let alone edit this monster.
Writing Resources: This is something a lot of fic writers understand, I think, because it's about what ideas are flowing and when. You have to go where there is flow, or else things will be bad.
My Editor: He's still not done and is even more scattered than me when it comes to this, if you'll believe, and since he and I don't control what the other does...
Real Life: I've been job hunting for a year (exactly; I was let go a year ago today) and I'm engaged, so I've been trying to get house-hunting and wedding planning off the ground (there's a lot of barriers here I won't go into). Plus there's a bunch of normal things that I'd do anyhow involving family and friend groups that take up time. energy, and resources. And I'm a tante now?! Tantes are cool.
Indifference: Now this is admittedly a weird one that deserves explaining. I still love The Thick of UNIT, as well as the parent shows Doctor Who and The Thick of It! They all still hold a special place in my heart. It's just... well... I average single-digit notes on here. I don't have enough reviews on FFN for there to be one per chapter. Most of my comments on AO3 are conversations. Although I'll be one of the first to say that you need to write fic for yourself and don't worry about an audience, I will also admit that it's very difficult to put into practice. I hit a big ol' wall of burnout with TTOU, which is something that can happen to anyone about anything, even stuff they love, and I'm trying to get over that and the indifference it causes. also everything that i've seen of DW post-Twelve is just irritating and i feel so fucking bad for Gatwa and none of that helps any
So... yeah... the double-edged sword with longfics is that they are a lot of time and energy, which I unfortunately do not have a lot of to spare. "But what about those other fics I see you posting?" That's where all my writing resources go, because the ideas are flowing there. It's probably weird to think about since I was almost exclusively writing fic for Doctor Who and The Thick of It for nine years, but what I've been able to churn out lately hits something completely different, deep down in my soul from before I even knew what Doctor Who was, before The Thick of It first aired, and a lot of it is a bit existential in its own way.
"But what am I going to do in the meantime?!" Feel free to check out my bookmarks on AO3, which has a lot of TTOU fic (including some by the lovely @fajrbismuth, whose tumblr url is yes from the fic). That not enough? Maybe, idk, create something of your own. Write some fic, draw art, create a moodboard, do something that channels your love for it. and maybe if you make sure i see it, i can reblog it for everyone here to see. Hell, I don't even care if you do your own Malcolm/Kate stories independent of TTOU. I can't stop you.
Thank you, though, for all your love and support over the past, what eight years of this. It's humbling when I get to see how much people love my writing and it really does make it worth it in the end.
#I'm not blaming anyone in my DMs for this just I've been talking recently about TTOU so it's. like. 'SEE?!'#TTOU also recently hit 10k hits on AO3 which is pretty impressive considering their tracker's shit at recording that stuff so that's cool#so. yeah. one day i'll get back to it. that day is not today however.#The Thick of UNIT#replies#Greyface replies

Hi again! Shy anon, here. Those longfic ideas are so good! How are you able to come up with such cool prompts?! Sometimes I wish I had my old well of creativity back. But anyways! Hope that, even with the doctor visits you're going through, that you're doing well and taking care of yourself. Can't wait to see what's next! Sincerely, the anon who loves Riddle & Azul
My shy friend, thank you for your kind words ( ˘͈ ᵕ ˘͈♡) I am doing my best to take care of myself and take things slowly, which has included my writing which I am a bit upset about but hey. Some days last a bit longer than others. I feel you about wanting your "well of creativity back." I lose mine a lot, or should I say it runs empty??? idk.
I find that I get my best writing prompts and ideas by reading lots of original stuff that's not always related to my fandoms or my fics. I really like history so I have a bunch of random books about things like crime in Victorian England, Regency Era etiquette, and a history of sex work in London among some other more normal things. When I read if I come across a word I don't know I highlight it and write the definition in the margins, and I usually keep my diary near me so I can write down quotes I really like (I copied down a lot from the Flowers of Evil but I think this one is my current favorite)
I'm always open suggestions for books, my scope is rather limited so I appreciate when people suggest things for me to check out even if I am a bit slow to get to them.
#<3 asks#the annon who loves riddle + azul#i hope you don't feel like a bad writer for having a low creative well my friend#it's just part of life sometimes#and you will find your creativity again because it was always a part of you to begin with#and no one can take that from you <3

*deep breath*
Hello.
I dont think there are words in the English vocabulary to explain how much I love holy ground so I wont even try.
But but, I just wanted you to know that I started this series yesterday and I finished it today. I LITERALLY HAVE EXAMS GOING AND I CANNOT BRING MYSELF TO GIVE A FUCK BECAUSE WOWOWIWEOSJSGHD YOU WRITE SO GOOD I AM CRYING LAUGHING I LOVE YOU SMSM PLS DONT EVER STOP WRITING PLS WRITE MORE AND MORE BECAUSE YOU ARE AMAXING EXTRAORDINARY SUPER COOL AND HOLY SHIT SO POETIC SO BEAUTIFUL THIS IS THE BEST LONGFIC I'VE EVER READ THANK YOU SM FOR WRITING THIS.
okay, I'm sorry, I'm normal now.
But literally I love you so much. Not only can you write so well but you can also draw?? Wtf?? Can you step on me please? So maybe I could have some shred of your talent?
Literally love your sense of humor. Can't remember the last time I laughed so hard. The banters between levi/mike and levi/reader was hilarious. I also cried a hell lot because i relate a lot to how you wrote reader and I think so reading the story kind of healed me because Levi is the type of person I need in my life.
I'm sorry I rant a lot.
Byt thank you.
And I love you.
<3
Ok… I… I simply have no words to thank you enough for this, for your sweet words, your enthusiasm, your support, everything! I wanted to take my time to reply to you properly, but since I read your message in my inbox, it made my day, my night, my week, haha. I was almost in tears-
100% no fake picture of me reading your message:
Don't ever apologize for ranting! This was amazing! Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart <3
Hahaha, honestly, nobody has asked me to step on them before; it was hilarious. I bet you're extremely talented on your own, and there must be a bunch of people who admire you <3 You truly don't need me to be talented <3 But thank you! I always say that writing and drawing are both a blessing and a curse. When I'm writing, I think I should be drawing, and when I'm drawing, I think I should be writing. Haha, the stress never stops.
Ahaha, I'm so glad you find my sense of humor funny. Sometimes I have a blast while writing certain chapters, particularly the "guys" hangouts (Erwin, Hange, Mike, and Levi). I think, "Does anything that I write ever make someone laugh?" Sometimes, I reread old chapters, laugh, and then say, "I'm hilarious." So thank you! Thank you for making me feel I'm not laughing alone, lol.
BTW, a little spoiler for you! In the next chapter, the boys' hangout is back. Mike, Hange, Levi, and Erwin will have a blast, so I hope you have a good fun time reading about them again <3
About the reader, I'm happy and also sad you relate to her. Happy that I was able to write an MC that made you feel seen and understood, but also sad because I wish no girl in this world should feel the way she feels. So I'm sending you the TIGHTEST hug in the world, smooches with a lot of love, and, obviously, my best successful wishes for your ongoing exams! I'm not wishing you luck because I'm so sure you've got this; you're already succeeding <3
Don't thank me; thank you for reading, coming here, leaving this beautiful message, and supporting me and my art <3
I love you too from the moon and back!
Stay safe!

20 questions for writers, tagged by @gremlin-bot
1. how many works do you have on ao3?
83!!! But a lot are crossposted from FFN, and not ALL of my FFN stuff is there.
2. what's your total ao3 word count?
753,449
3. What fandoms do you write for?
At the moment dpxdc, but I have projects for DP in progress. I have some really old Inuyasha stuff, and Twilight, and a Gravity Falls fic that I def will continue? but mostly dpxdc :D
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Clown around and find out (Kudos: 8,524)
Mondays, am I right? (Kudos: 8,080)
Employee of the month (Kudos: 7,865)
Can't have shit in Gotham (Kudos: 7,343)
How to confuse a Bat (Kudos: 6,749)
Unsurprising xd
5. Do you respond to comments? why/why not?
I usually do the week when I post a fic, but i stop after that period of time. I don't respond mostly because I dont know what to say... I love each and every comment!!! I just get nervous.
6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Hmmmm, I'd say What could have been. It's a DP fic from Phic Phight 2022 and the prompts I used weren't necessarily angst material, but I tied them together in a story meant to leave you empty.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
I don't do "happy" endings? I think I do "realistic" endings - main quest is conquered but we lost and gained things in the way.
I do write a lot of fluff and unapologetic one shots, so I would consider all of those "happy" endings.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Yes.
Fortunately is not a normal event in my fics, but now that I have dipped my toes in comic book fanfiction I've gotten my fair share of purists and know-it-alls that come to my comments to educate me on what it's "canon" and explain to me how my interpretation is wrong.
That aside, I'm not afraid to portray "problematic" ships and delicate situations ,mainly mental health stuff. I'm not the first or the last person that pour themselves in their writing and use fictional characters as a medium to work on some personal things. Of course that's gotten me enough comments telling me how disgusting I am and how I'm writing XYZ wrong.
9. Do you write smut? if so, what kind?
Yes. I don't have a lot posted, but I have WIPs.
Mostly BDSM and how important it is to trust your partner.
10. Do you write crossovers? what's the craziest one?
Mostly DPxDC!
I did have an insane crossover between Twilight and a book not a lot of people know. TBH im keeping that information to myself xd.
11. have you ever had a fic stolen?
Yes.
There's a russian website that reposts fics.
And also people reposting my stuff in wattpad with a "credits to the author [name]" but they never asked me for permission.
12. have you ever had a fic translated?
Yes! To Russian!!!! Made me so happy ヾ(≧▽≦*)o
13. have you ever co-written a fic?
Yes! I'm co-writing a fic with some close friends and my girlfriend. And another fic with just my girlfriend, but I'm so slow with it lmao
14. what's your all-time fave ship?
I'm a multishipper but usually I have 1 OTP that im Very Normal about in every fandom and then I'm just okay with everything else.
Some examples are:
KogKag, SessKag (Inuyasha)
Hardcover (JazzxJason)(DPxDC)
PrussiaxHungary (Hetalia)
Mabill (Gravity Falls)
HikaHaruKao (Ouran HSHC)
Deckerstar (Lucifer TV)
15. what's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you will?
I don't want to jinx myself.
But probably the DP longfic. It's just. So long.
16. what are your writing strengths?
I've been told that my characters feel very real and that I write dynamics in a very organic way. In romance, I think I'm very good at portraying falling in love.
In general I've also been told I describe things in a way you can feel it, like you really are there.
17. writing weaknesses?
English is not my native language and I make a lot of mistakes, grammar wise. Or I let my weird miss matched speech patterns bleed into my characters and make them sound not quite right.
18. thoughts on writing dialogue in another language?
Again, I'm native Spanish speaker, so I do write in English regularly xd
Other languages, I'd need someone that speaks that language to help me.
19. first fandom you wrote for?
Inuyasha. I was about 11 years old. Those fics were written in Microsoft Word 2003, in script format (aka "theater" format), and every character had an assigned color and I would switch colors every dialogue line.
20. fave fic you've ever written?
Difficult to choose.
I love a lot of my fics, even older ones.
If I have to pick just one, I'm picking Friendly neighborhood vigilante
Tagging!
Not feeling like tagging today, and grem kinda stole the people I was thinking I could tag.
So, if anyone wants to do this, go ahead!

Reading you say you just don't feel like writing fanfic anymore made me sad, because I've felt the same for years. Even shows I really did like just.. Arent inspiring? I watch things and enjoy them, but I don't feel any desire to produce something from it, and I no longer even look for fanfic that much. I felt the grief, too, so in a way, I'm glad it's not just me :/ It's a sucky feeling, really.
I hate it, honestly. I haven't closed the door to it, in weird ways it feels like the door has been closed on me instead (because of the pandemic, and life, and fandom changes).
I'm definitely not ruling it out! I'm also just not sure when things will change.
And then additionally, I've been in a 6 month lockdown that shows no signs of changing because I'm immunocompromised and disabled and everyone else is living kind of selfishly as though people like me don't exist and don't deserve protection (specifically re: masks and mask-wearing). Protecting disabled people really stops at mask wearing, even though folks wearing a mask does less protection for you and more protection for the *people around you* and vice versa. I've gone to a cafe once this year. I've been inside a shop once. It's kind of hard to get that old enthusiastic fandom vibe personally.
I think it will change eventually re: fandom because the media landscape is changing all the time, and nothing is static anyway. Things feel like they may have changed forever, but the reality is it's only been about 2 years out of about 13 of writing fanfiction?
But yeah I also no longer look for fanfic that much. It's harder than it used to be. People used to joke about looking for needle in haystacks but the reality is with AO3 and tag-surfing/narrowing/limiting it was, at least for a while, a lot easier to find fics you liked. These days it feels like...idk...
Also just factually, there's less longfics then there used to be. I talked to a friend about this and we both agreed it's probably connected to how short-lived fandoms are these days. A lot of the time it can take time to come up with a longfic concept, and it can be even harder to execute it in a dead or quiet fandom. I am primarily a hurt/comfort + happy ending longfic reader, and a PWP reader. There are still a lot of PWPs, but I've found no longfics I've really enjoyed in about 2 years. At some point, I just...gave up. I'm sure they're out there, but not really in the fandoms I was last active in, and not with the pairings I was looking for. And by the time I thought 'I'll write a rarepair longfic' the fandom was dead and I think every fic writer can write for a dead fandom a few times, but not many can do it forever. Even the last fanfiction I wrote was way way shorter than my normal ones, almost as though even then I was afraid to commit to anything longer than around 20k.
Anyway! Yes. It does suck and it is sad and it's kind of depressing. I'm very lucky that I can still get 'fandom feels' with Fae Tales, which has helped. But my writing life doesn't really feel complete without fanfiction, so it's been a weird two years. Falling Falling Stars came close to filling that gap because it's so whumpy and hurt/comforty, but that's going to be over soon.
Be interesting to see what happens to fandom during the pandemic/s (1 million cases of monkeypox now predicted by September). And hopefully you find your way back to fandom eventually, or that many of us do. You're definitely not alone. I know so many people kind of deep in this issue (many of them previously longfic writers), and while I do know a few people still writing fic, the 'old guard' of writers who actually still kind of want to be writing, or in fandom, or feeling that feeling, just...can't.
I don't think it's 'growing out of fandom' personally. For me, I really think it's connected to the change in the fandom experience + global issues + personal issues. So I am hopeful it's not permanent. But still sad that I can't tell people when I'll be writing fic again any time soon either. x.x
#asks and answers#pia on fanfiction#personal#even my favourite fic author hasn't written any fics in ages#i kind of found them at the end of being active#i have mutuals here - many who have written longfic#who just...don't now#i do think it's multi-factorial and different for everyone#but i also think everyone would possibly agree that fandom kind of changed#also i will say comments went down for longfics for many authors#and engagement dropped#personally i'm also a lil grumpy that the bigger fandoms these days#are the ones i can't seem to get into lol#'is it me am i the drama' dsalkfjafldsajfsa

fire, shadows, ice, psionics 👀👀
thanks so much for this ask! -> elemental writer ask
Fire: What’s a scene that you are dying to write?
i made a wip post for this, haha. if you don't mind, i would love to talk (vaguely) about each scene for each wip i plan to write this year.
you've changed (cyno / reader longfic) — the secrets behind the disappearance of your father is revealed. a choice has to be made: admit the truth or destroy the evidence that you and cyno worked so hard to attain?
dog ears (gorou x reader oneshot) — it's not normal to ask a person you just met if they believe you're going to die. you do so anyway. gorou looks cute as he panics, visibly flustered, but it's his answer that solidifies your desire to see him again.
your ghost in the closet (kazuha / reader oneshot) — a series of incidents piques kazuha's curiosity regarding your choice of lifestyle. he confronts you about what he's seen, and in haste, you confess the feelings you've locked behind the closet.
not freaking out (cyno / reader for this series) — when your boyfriend doesn't appear when you end work, you use the opportunity to visit cyno after nilou shared concerns regarding his absence. the walk home allows you to talk with him about things swept under the carpet.
there's actually more stories for the series, but i don't have all of them planned, and this post is getting longer than it needs to be, haha.
⠀
Shadows: What’s the darkest theme you’ve ever written about?
i've not written works with darker themes and i don't know how to rank them, so i'll just list some dark(er) themes i hope to write and explain what i'd like to explore for each. all themes do not have a fic idea, so it's possible i may never write about them. it is also possible i will not write genshin fanfiction for them, but who knows! not me!
cheating / i see a lot of people not liking cheating fics, and that's understandable because i do not condone cheating too. however, the fact still remains that it is happening in the world, and i'm interested in exploring the reasons why people cheat as well as the aftermath from perspectives of all parties.
possessive behaviour / this is not related to yandere although it does overlap, so some might consider it dark? i think it's interesting because people like reading jealous headcanons. that includes a bit of possessiveness so what's the line between possessiveness that's cute and possessiveness that's dangerous?
human experimentation / simplified, human experimentation is unethical if done (1) deceptively (2) and without consent. but what if it was done with consent without deception? what if the subject was brainwashed to think that entering the experiment despite the dangers is the correct thing to do?
abduction / watched a video (22 mins) and agreed such circumstances would be a damn good psychological horror story. what if the captor gained feelings for the hostage but it is not reciprocated? many thoughts.
⠀
Ice: What do you always get stuck on when writing?
i like to write my stories chronologically, aka in the order scenes are supposed to be read. if i can't write a scene, it bottlenecks really easily and i just... end up not writing at all. i'm trying to work on that, hahaha. i think another thing that gets me stuck is dialogue and description. it doesn't come as easily compared to exposition.
⠀
Psionics: How do you get into the heads of your characters?
since fanfiction is transformative work, characters just need to feel familiar, so i try to immerse myself into the source material. that means reading their character stories and listening to their voice lines. if i want to put more effort, i will make a document and briefly jot down patterns of speech and core beliefs. i've seen this method float around fandom space when other writers get asked how they write in-character. i hope it is working, lol.
i'm trying to adopt this guy's perspective on characters (13m). i like his take that characters are not people: they are drivers of a story you're trying to tell. if the plot revolves tightly around my understanding of a character, i feel that's half the battle won.
#with love.#ask game: questions#thank you sm for showing interest TT . TT it means the world to me#also sorry this took forever. the holidays was busy sadfsdfdsf#and the fact there's a lot of words here.... i got excited#g*rou's fic was inspired by your analysis btw ;3#and my c*no fic is progressing so slowly bc i'm stuck LOL#to elaborate on my last point for the last question: if the character can be replaced by another#then i have to go back to the black board

#7, 12, 16, and 17 for the writing ask game!!
Thanks for asking--I always enjoy these--and now I see where I can do polls! 😁
7. What is your deepest joy about writing?
Since I pretty much just write fanfic, exploring possibilities of characters I love in ways that canon doesn't, or can't--which is tied with figuring out 'aha' moments having to do with those characters!
12. If a genie offered you three writing wishes, what would they be? Btw if you wish for more wishes the genie turns all your current WIPs into Lorem Ipsum, I don’t make the rules
To be able to have more consistent writing focus at normal times of day (instead of late at night), to be able to finish a longfic (again, focus), and to be able to come up with some original material so I can write stuff to be published 😊
16. What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever used as a bookmark?
It seems like I may have used a (clean) fork or spoon at some point when I got pulled away from a book?
17. Talk to me about the minutiae of your current WIP. Tell me about the lore, the history, the detail, the things that won’t make it in the text.
There are a lot of things that are still mysteries--but here are a few things I can share:
-Din and Paz are adopted brothers, and their parents' marriage is the reason why Clan Wren is part of House Vizsla
-Tristan Wren is in the story, but goes by another name for reasons yet to be explained--and it's possible that he's not the only one 😉
-As far as history goes, a lot of it is based off my theories after Mando Season 1. Din was adopted into Paz's family after his birth parents were killed, and they were in actual Death Watch until Pre VIzsla's death (he was their uncle, but they both severely disliked him). After that, they went to Krownest, since their mom came from Clan Wren, and the only people who observed the helmet rule as we see in canon was a special ops group called the Fighting Corps, which Din joined after swearing the Creed at 13. Paz grew up to marry the Armorer, and they have 8 kids who are ridiculously fun to write, and they lived a normal, somewhat helmet-free life until after the Purge, when what became the Tribe adopted the same rule as the Fighting Corps--again for reasons not yet disclosed. Other Mandos, like Sabine and her parents, don't wear theirs all the time, even when they're with the Tribe (which they currently are)
-Din and Cara are in looooove, and admitted it last chapter--and even used a certain M word in regards to their future! 🥰
-Ezra and Sabine have been married for a few months, and he made the decision to swear the Creed a couple months later--so now the Armorer has made him some armor, and is totally cool with him removing his helmet because he's not under the same obligation as those in the Tribe. He also has a jetpack, so he can be a weapon 🤣
-The safe house where the Tribe is currently staying (around 75 of them survived Moff Gideon's attack on Nevarro) is owned by some canon SW siblings and their families--which I just figured out a couple of months ago! This is brand-new information that will be somewhat mentioned in my new chapter, so I'm good with sharing it!

@south-sea has enabled me to share my mini playlist for my crazy Metal Sonic longfic! I'm normally don't build playlists, and I can't say I'm particularly good at it, as this one definitely doesn't have a cohesive vibe, but I'm excited to share it anyway. I tend to focus in on the lyrics in particular rather than the sound of the music itself, so be prepared for some weird picks.
Journey begins below the cut!
youtube
"Over the game, rather be alone
Think I'm gonna just stay home
And make art, not friends"
This one is a strange pick, I do admit, but it's also the one most inextricably linked to my fic in my mind.
It's a very cynical song. The singer disparages the rest of the world as "suckers" and "yes men", expressing a profound disinterest with his current place in society. He sees himself as above the masses, but he's also very tired about it. Instead of fighting, he just wants to seek his own little corner of the world, perhaps with some of the few "good friends" he's able to find, and make art.
And this is VERY vibes for how I write Metal. Metal, at first, runs itself ragged trying to be superior to Sonic, trying to prove that it can handle itself on its own away from Eggman, trying to pursue its original purpose, but eventually it realizes that none of that is useful to it. It grows tired of trying to please the people of its past, and instead chooses to move on, to "change up the sound". And of course, the way it chooses to represent this is by repainting itself. Not just any old repaint, but a complete redetailing by a professional artist, chock-full of tiny, beautiful detail head-to-toe. Make art, not friends indeed.
"So you get yours, and stay outta mine
Here's to the memories, where do I sign?"
These lyrics in particular are sooooooooooooo. Please imagine Metal saying this to Sonic. I don't think I need to explain this one any further. Next!
youtube
"You say the weight of the world
Has kept you from letting go
And you think compassion's a flaw
And you'll never let it show
And you're sure you hurt in a way
That no one will ever know
But someday the weight of the world
Will give you the strength to go"
Whereas the previous song was almost, in a sense, "from" Metal's point of view, this song is addressed to it.
This song fits neatly into the midpoint of my fic, where Metal's at its lowest point emotionally, when it's not sure if getting to know other sentient beings would be worth its time, when it's not sure there'd be a purpose in life if it gives up its pursuit of Sonic. This song would basically represent a hypothetical "other person" in the dialogue of Metal's doubts, reassuring it that there are better things possible in the world for it.
A big thing that Metal struggles with in my fic is having a sense of self-worth outside of its intended purpose. A big theme in a lot of its internal conflict has to do with the idea of preserving one's self- does it deserve to get better? Does it want to get better, or would that destroy who it is? What does it have to gain? What does it have to lose?
But ultimately, it's going to be okay. The weight of the world will give it the strength to go. Onto the next!
youtube
"I am a question to the world
Not an answer to be heard
Or a moment that's held in your arms
And what do you think you'd ever say?
I won't listen anyway, you don't know me
And I'll never be what you want me to be"
It's deeply ironic that this one's on the playlist, since it's a song about positive masculinity and my version of Metal is nonbinary, but it's about THE VIBES OKAY??? And this song's vibes are classic "rebelling against my dad" vibes. Which. Should be self-explanatory. This is Metal Sonic we're talking about. Themes of "you can't throw me away", "you can't define me" and "I want to define myself" come stock standard with this character, and are especially relevant in a redemption AU.
"And I want a moment to be real
Wanna touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belong"
I mean, are you seeing lyrics? I don't need to explain them. Next song, please.
youtube
"It seems that all my bridges have been burned
But, you say that's exactly how this 'grace' thing works"
This is a very classic song about moral redemption, so of course it fits the vibes of this fic, even if it's a bit more, shall we say, twangy than the other songs on this list. The lyrics listed above are definitely the standout vibe, but there's also a lot of other emotions I like in this one. The singer is so uncertain in the face of turning over a new moral leaf, and I channel that sort of uncertainty into the quieter moments of my fic. Metal is pretty subtle about its moments of doubt, but the companion that it's currently with has started to pick up on them.
Another standout emotional moment in this song is around the 3-minute mark in the song, where the singer loudly proclaims:
"Stars, hide your fires!
These here are my desires"
In this big, emotional, climatic moment of the song. The singer asserts himself as being worthy of redemption, and embraces himself and his emotions. Metal will have a moment like this in later chapters. It will finally assert itself as someone worthy of experiencing life as it sees fit. Self-actualization!!
And finally, for the last song, drum roll please-
youtube
You really should have seen this coming. I flip this one on whenever Metal is getting up to Shenanigans(TM), which usually means fight scenes. This includes nearly getting its ass handed to it by Shadow and ending the chapter in a dumpster. Good times!
---
If you've somehow made it to the bottom of this, thank you very much! I am SO normal about my funky lil version of Metal Sonic.
#this isn't going on my sonic blog because it's VERY niche#and I don't like to 'brag' about this work-in-progress over there since it's about a month out from being anywhere near postable#but thank you sea for indulging me with this#I love this weird version of Metal that lives in my brain#sonic

I read your fic with tomokiri and bakucammie, and while it was really sad, I can't help but feel in my guts that that marriage is gonna bomb in 2 years top. Even setting down my kiribaku glasses, no way this won't end in a divorce down the line. And if Baku Is there to heal kiri's broken heart, well...
first of all, i'm sorry for letting this sit in my inbox for so long, and also just ty for reading and sending your thoughts on it, it's so indulgent to talk abt your own fics but getting ASKS discussing your fics is a whole different level. so thank you!
SECONDLY, one thing i remember about the writing of that fic (this fic!) is that for the longest time i had no idea who kirishima's love interest was gonna be. i think there's a lot of good dynamics kirishima could fit into, but looking at the way things turn out for kirishima and bkg in this fic i...couldn't see him choosing anyone over bkg that he would've met at the same time. so that ruled out everyone from class a, and then i was trying out various class b boys because it's not like the love interest really appears in the fic...and then kirishima's backstory episode aired and people were talking left and right about tomokiri and i realized oh! there's someone that kirishima's already linked to that he wouldn't have been getting to know at the same time he was getting to know bkg. but when it comes down to it that...means there is VERY little importance. placed on the fact that it's tomo that he's in love with . i know i went back and sprinkled some stuff in there but this made me think abt how even the drafting process of that fic wasn't convinced that they really belonged together
THIRDLY, i know i've talked plenty of times about how one of my favorite krbk concepts is bitter 20-something-year-old krbk who fell out after graduation and don't even want to look at each other at the class reunion, which is pretty similar to that fic anyway, but for the brief period of time that i entertained the thought of a longfic on that plot, i definitely imagined kirishima would be with tomo and i very clearly pictured a scene near the end of the fic (once krbk have reconciled and are starting to...feel the things they used to feel again) where tomo sadly explains to him like "i always sorta knew that it'd be him, if it could be anyone." which honestly puts kirishima totally in the "you're the asshole" box here, all of which is to say i think you're 100% on the money. i live for the drama so i always sort of imagined that that fic and the phone conversation was krbk's last real time thinking about what they could've been, but my official authors' statement a couple years later is that either: 1) bakugou is going to speak now the wedding, 2) kirishima is going to "ross says rachel's name" the wedding, or, 3) that marriage is gonna bomb in 2 years tops and if baku is there to heal kiri's broken heart, WELL....
fourth and final point - on the topic of tomo, a while ago i found this doujin on pixiv - it's actually really impressively long but it's all about imagining tomo's side of the story as he watches kirishima grow up, admiring him all the way, thinking they're gonna be together forever...only to see him go to UA and completely reinvent himself and, still hang out with their old friends, obviously, but with all these stories of the cool new friends he's made...bkg doesn't appear (and is barely mentioned) so it's not about krbk or any complications there and i know this won't mean much to people who don't speak japanese (i might honestly translate it if it weren't so long) but it takes a really interestingly dark look into how tomo might deal with all that. he gets really cold while everyone's cheering kirishima on and he starts messaging him about how dangerous UA is and how he should come back, and then there's this sequence where he imagines what it'd be like if kirishima DID go back to normal school and dyed his hair back and lived a plain, normal live side-by-side with tomo, up to the two of them marry women and starting families...that whole sequence has this very dark undertone leading up to an older, normal guy kirishima crying in regret as his family dies crushed under a collapsed building. it's really interesting as a character study for a guy with a sparse handful of lines in canon, but also just an interesting take on kirishima's life as a whole - i know i've also talked before about how maybe kirishima wouldn't look down on himself so much if he wasn't surrounded by friends constantly saying "don't go to hero school, stop TRYING to be a hero, you'll never be good at it. you and me, we're normal guys who'll never amount to anything." and it's interesting just how much this doujin explores how that external force is both bad for kirishima and bad for tomo, and how maintaining that status quo isn't helping either of them etc...this whole time i was just thinking abt how, like you're saying, tomokiri would be a relationship doomed to fail but now i'm thinking about how isn't it nice? that krbk is so built on the two of them meeting at just the right time to lift each other up so much. i guess the conclusion to all of this is krbk good
#the length of this answer is. so unwarranted. really hard to justify#but i had fun rambling so! thank you for that opportunity#kirishima is a character that can be so special...#asks

1, 15, 23, 50 for the ask game?
1. What fic of yours would you recommend to someone who had never read any of your work? (In other words, what do you think is the best introduction to your fics?)
I'm not sure this is the same, but I think the fic that best encapsulates the kind of stuff I'm usually writing is The Art of Giving Your Best Friend Platonic Hickeys
if you want fluff, humour, shenanigans and dramatic irony, I'm your gal
15. What’s your favorite AU that you’ve written?
I'm currently working on this so I might be biased, but my Heist AU has my whole heart currently. I'm just. so excited to share it!! I'm really hoping people will enjoy it 🥺
from stuff that's already published, love is an open door is very near and dear to my heart
23. What’s a trope, AU, or concept you’ve never written, but would like to?
already answered here + I'd love to write a whole longfic worth of established relationship. that would be a real challenge too because it isn't something I normally write and certainly for not a long fic, since I usually focus on romantic tension and problems, and for a fic with established relationship you can't really do that (expect if it's strained and the plot is fixing it, but that isn't exactly what I mean)
50. -> 34. What aspects of your writing are inspired by/taken from your real life?
there are definitely a couple of scenes/scenarios in seven that are based on real life, which isn't a very hard thing to do when you're writing a university/roommates AU and lived in a dorm. the marshmallow fight definitely happened, only with pre-packaged macarons, my grandpa did get a 90% liquor once when he visited Russia, and Adrien's birthday present from Marinette is something I've actually gifted someone. these are mostly minor details but I'm really bad with coming up with not plot-important details so I like this way of making my fics' universe richer because it helps the fic but also preserves memories. my grandfather has already died but people all over the globe still know about some of his shenanigans, how cool is that?

21, 22, 23 for the writing asks. (I can’t reblog the post because the OP blocked me. 🙄)
Thank you for the ask! And sorry about that. :(
21. Can you accurately predict how long your fics are going to be? If you can, what's your secret?
Umm.... no, I can't. Unless it's a one-shot. Because, at least with a one-shot, I can usually temper myself to 1k-2k lengths, but I have also written an 8k one-shot before but I also believe that one should let the story go as long as it needs, so sometimes it gets away from your initial ideas for it.
Lacrimosa was originally projected as a five chapter fic but it quickly ballooned because it is the foundation story/longfic to my other novels in the CI series, though to be honest, that did really cause me quite a bit of fretting when I realised it was too big for just five chapters. :I
22. What is it about watching the same two idiots falling in love over and over again?
Ummm.... I am not sure what this question is about and I also mainly ship rarepairs (and in my Ice Age rarepair, Mango, is like rarepair of rarepairs in that fandom) so I feel like I don't actually get a chance to watch that happen a lot.
For my books fandoms though it's easier there. I remember coming across so many fanfics exploring Anne Shirley and Gilbert Blythe's relationship in various contexts (modern/HS/etc.) when I first stumbled upon ffn in the late 2000s. It's still delightful. :)
23. Dialogue or description? Why is the other one so hard?
Ehhh... hmm, I would say it's dialogue for me, because description has always come easily to me and over the years - at least, re: Lacrimosa - I have gotten quite a few comments praising my imagery for being vibrant without distracting from the the other writing and my imagery/descriptive writing has even been praised by people who don't normally go for that sort of thing, which is amazing, and humbling, praise. :)

Hi, how are you?? If its not too much trouble, I have two questions
1. How do you get motivation to write your fic (which is amazing, btw!!) because I am trying to write a fic of my own but I can't seem to find the motivation to actually sit down and write it out, even though I am super interested in it.
2. If its not too much, do you have any tips on outlining a story?? I'm not very good at planning lol
Hope you have a great day!! I love your art and your KNY Plot Rewrite!!
Hiiiiii thank you for the ask!
1.
Honestly dedicating a certain portion of my day just to write has been super helpful. I tend to feel most motivated in the morning so I just write then and just keep dabbling in it.
I do this weird technique where I write with white text on a white background so I don't focus too much on the mistakes. If you find yourself getting overwhelmed, just changing the font color so you can't see what you're typing breaks that anxiety. Drastic, but it works.
I also write on my phone when I'm feeling particularly unmotivated?
Here's a vod of me doing exactly that for Ch 53 (the video quality is very crunchy, forgive me):
youtube
I usually use a lot of ADHD strategies to get myself into the mood lol.
2.
It seriously depends on what kind of story you want to write, but I'm assuming you mean novel/longfic type of stuff with a fleshed out story and a whole cast of characters? That's the assumption I'm going under while writing out my next tips.
What is your main theme? Or genre rather. Is it humor? Romance? Tragedy? A combination? Knowing the overall tone that your story will be in helps a lot in the development of the characters, since each character should fit into that theme in some way. In KNY, the main theme of the story is tragedy, and this affects literally everything, from the backstories for all the characters to the literal worldbuilding in the form of Demons (victims of circumstance, cruelty of the world, that kind of thing).
Once that's down, start small. Just figure out your main character, their motivation, their character arc, and what you want them to realize by the end of the story. Can just be as simple as:
main character (Tanjirou)
wants to live a normal life and go back to the way it used to be
ideally, he should realize there is no going back and he has to move on so he doesnt get left behind? oh ye his sister could represent the constantly changing state of the world and his negative reaction to her changes expresses his inability to let go of his past
*note to self, develop sister character more
Don't think about other characters unless they will actually help the main character get closer to the ideal end you have for them, like I did with Nezuko in the above example. Don't want to overwhelm yourself, you know?
From here, you can start developing stuff. Thinking of concepts. If you're anything like me, you've probably already come up with something your story focuses on like "oh yeah there's magic and shit, and they have to take down the government with it" because I like magic and shit. What kind of setting do you want your story to be in? Post-apocalyptic utopia? Dystopia? Steampunk fantasy? 1920s Japan in the midst of rapid westernization? Is this based in a specific region of the real world or are you making up a whole new world for this?
Once you get the basics down, write down story beats. It can be a similar list as before like:
idk ig nezuko becomes a demon and loses her memory
the two meet a super strong swordsman to kinda show the reader the concept of demon slayers AND the highest ranking people from the get go (oh, think of a name for this rank, maybe pillars? bc pillars of hope and shit lol im a genius)
oh shit, you write hashira in 9 strokes? maybe we could have 9 pillars ooooh that would be pog
tanjirou and nezuko have an argument about tanjirou's Problems bc he refuses to talk about anything that bothers him
uhhhhh fight a demon
fight a Strong demon (what the hell am i gonna call these, just do that later)
oh hold on theres gotta be a training montage bc swordfighting takes time to develop
i should add an examination right? yeah like naruto ok put that into the consideration jar
broooo omg what if [insert plot twist here] happened? ive gotta put that in holy shit-
Doesn't even have to be in order. Just let your mind flow. If you have more characters at this point, think about how you want their arcs to end and all that like you did for the main character, then slap those beats into the massive list of story beats.
From here, you can sort stuff out. Then zero in on a specific arc/plot development and build around that. How much you should develop the story depends on how many characters you have and how long you want the story to be. KNY has a fairly large cast and is meant to be serialized, so Gotouge really needed to spend a lot of time thinking about this stuff (and you and I know that didn't end up working out too well lmao, they tried their best though).
Biggest tip is to take your time. You can't create a world in one day, especially if you want to be respectful to the other cultures and stuff you want to portray. Research stuff, look up writing inspiration blogs, all that, just take your time.
Also lemme know if you want to know how I specifically outline stuff in chapters to prepare for writing because its a little different from what people normally do? Idk what people normally do but its certainly not the way how I do it and this post is long enough already.
(Thank you for the compliments btw, good luck on your own story!)

20 Questions for Fic Writers
I saw @merrilark do this, and it seemed fun, so I wanted to give it a try. :)
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
Eleven! Three drabbles, three oneshots, one abandoned WIP longfic, and four explicit fics I did for kinktober.
2. What's your total AO3 word count?
15,430 words.
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Only Misfits at the moment, but I've been eyeing Doctor Who and BBC's Wolf. (I've also been wanting to write a short Morgwen fic, but I'd have to rewatch the series, but I can't be bothered.)
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
-Rooftop Kisses 72 Kudos
My first fic! It's the oldest, so it makes sense why it's the most popular.
-I am human, and I need to be loved, just like everybody else does 58 Kudos
It's the second fic I posted and the first explicit thing I ever wrote. I only posted one chapter but planned for around 20+. It was meant to be an NSFW canon rewrite of What If Simon and Nathan developed a friends-with-benefits relationship. It was meant to be more of a whumpey fic, and the idea initially came from the idea of what if Simon never killed Sally (Basically, events from 1x5 didn't happen.) This fic has now been abandoned due to simply losing interest in writing it.
-Enjoying the Show 51 Kudos
My most recent non-explicit fic I posted. I posted this on my one-year AO3 posting anniversary. This was a fun one to write. I'm glad people enjoyed it.
-License Dilemma 33 Kudos
Another oneshot and the longest oneshot I've posted. I love this one dearly.
-Oh, So Pleasurable (If Only You Stayed Dreaming) 23 Kudos
The first fic I posted for kinktober. It's not my favourite of the bunch, but I understand why people liked it more than the others.
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I did when I first started and currently trying to. But once I get a comment, then 'read' it and go to respond at a later date, I forget about it. Then, when I remember, it's been such a long time and I get too anxious to reply.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Probably Ambiguous Grief. It's a drabble, so there's little to it. It's a sadder one versus angsty. Or it would be Bottling It Up (But It Still Leaks Out), another drabble with more of an angsty open ending.
7. What is the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Well, I've written a lot of happy-ending fics. I'd say all my explicit fics are 'happy endings, ' y'know, wink, wink, nudge, nudge, lol. But in all seriousness, I'd say License Dilemma. It has an angsty middle but a sweet fluffy end.
8. Do you get hate on any fics?
No, but I have gotten some overly pressurey comments that have made me uncomfortable.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Yes, I do. Normally just oneshots. Nothing too extreme, mostly vanilla with a bit of kick to it.
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
No, I don't. I don't really like cross-overs in general. (I say this as if I didn't get a little obsessed with House M.D. and BBC's Sherlock crossover Greg is Sherlock's dad fics a couple of weeks ago, LOL.)
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I'm aware of.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Nope.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
No, it seems pretty intimidating just thinking about it.
14. What's your all time favorite ship?
Oh, duh, Nathan and Simon. It’s now engrained in me.
15. What's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Mmh, I am human, and I need to be loved, just like everybody else does. I should've waited til I wrote more chapters before posting it. I feel bad for not finishing it.
16. What are your writing strengths?
Dialogue probably. I'd say it's only a strength because it comes easiest to me while writing, lol.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Grammar and spelling. (Thank god for writing programs :D) Other than that, I struggle with over-adding unnecessary details.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
Only if it's necessary for the plot or like a character trait. If you do it poorly, it comes off as cringey. But I do like it when characters add a little pet name in another language.
I personally would try to avoid it cause I don't wanna get anything wrong as I'm not good with other languages. Don't wanna poorly google translate it.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Misfits! There wasn't enough out there, and I needed more, I finally caved to my 'no writing fan fiction' rule.
20. Favorite fic you've written?
License Dilemma. Mostly cause I related a lot to certain themes of the story. But I also like The Voyeur and The Exhibitionist I did for kinktober. I liked writing the dialogue, and I thought I got certain character traits down well.
Tagging anyone who wants!
