Has Katniss or Peeta ever farted during sex?
Anon, I hate you right now. I hate you for how hysterically this ask made me laugh. I hate you because I wrote this *waves hands around vaguely* ridiculous thing, instead of making any real progress on my WIPs. So I'm gonna call you out for this, because your question is either that of someone with a very juvenile sense of humor, or someone who's had enough sex irl to know the kinds of funny/embarrassing/ridiculous things that can happen when bodies are involved. Or both. Enjoy whatever this is.
<3 kdnfb
“Katniss, would you please come out of there?” Peeta calls, leaning on his forearm crutch and knocking on their bathroom door.
“No!” she shouts. “Go away, Peeta!”
“It’s really not that big of a deal,” he tries to soothe, but he knows he’s failing because he’s trying so hard not to laugh. “It’s not like you did it on purpose.”
The door flies open and he quickly tries to wipe the amusement off his face. Her narrowed eyes and deepening scowl tell him that he’s definitely failing.
“Easy for you to say. You’re not the one who farted in the middle of an orgasm!”
“I barely even felt it,” he says and then cracks with a short laugh before managing to get the rest out. “Even if I definitely smelled it.”
“Argh!” she shouts and slams the door in his face again. He takes a moment to get his laughter under control. Trying to understand how embarrassed Katniss probably is.
“Besides,” he says and knocks softly on the door again. “I’m choosing to take it as a compliment.”
“How the fuck is that a compliment?”
“Felt so good you just couldn’t control yourself,” he says and his mind easily jumps back to the sight of her above him, her body undulating in a frenzy and the loud, erotic sounds she was making. The feel of her riding his cock like that had him nearly undone right there with her. Her silence now, on the other side of the door, has him thinking maybe she’s remembering it too. How hot and incredible it was.
Until the hot puff of air hit his balls and the stench filled the room.
“Kind of like a belch being a compliment to a chef?” he offers and Katniss snorts loudly.
“Don't pull that stupid boy stuff on me. That’s not a compliment. It’s just bad manners.”
“Alright, Effie,” he says and rolls his eyes, grinning as he hears her protesting scoff through the door.
“Take it back!” she shouts and flings the door open when he doesn’t. She pursues him to the bed and pushes him just enough that he sits down. But he’s not complaining. Naked, infuriated Katniss does things to him.
Only she’s not entirely infuriated. Her lips are twitching. Peeta grins and wraps his arms around her waist, peering up at her innocently as he can.
“Alright, I take it back. But I’m never lighting romantic candles for us again. Wouldn’t want your flatulence causing our sex to literally send the room up in flames.”
#words are peetas thing not mine#puts myself in the cone of shame#crack fic#what even is this lmao#i don't even want it in the everlark tag#someone's gonna take it too seriously and get offended lol#smut happens#off screen#and so do farts

Do you have any Everlark fic recommendations by any chance?? I'm in my feels about them and can't find fics to satisfy me 😭 like, I need post-mockingjay fics of them growing together, I also need good in-universe AUs, but I can't find anything on AO3, I don't know what tags to use to filter properly for what I want, heeeelp
Thanks if you have recommendations ^^
HI HELLO NO WORRIES <3
post-mj growing together fics: peeta gets stung by tracker venom on a nice day out | gale visits out of the blue and katniss is pregnant | one of theeee growing back together fics written by the author who wrote thg in peeta's pov | another one | and another one
in-universe aus: peeta is a young victor and gale volunteers with katniss | prim doesn't get reaped but peeta still does | peeta gets reaped and katniss is his best friend | peeta never got rescued during mockingjay and goes kinda off the walls (i WILL shove this au into people's faces even though the everlark is like... minimal and more peeta-centric but it is so crazy to read) | soulmarks au | gale dies in the 74th hunger games and everlark finds their way together | gale gets hired by the mellark bakery and everlark grow closer
anddddd here's the general ao3 tag for post-mockingjay fics i've filtered it slightly but change it as you wish !
#everlark#the hunger games#katniss everdeen#peeta mellark#lit#je réponds#la poste#*frs#ask#anonymous#thgpost

Fic Writer Interview
Thank you for the tag @mercurygray!
How many works do you have on AO3?
Currently 6, but hopefully that number will go up over spring break
What's your total AO3 word count?
119,136
What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Like A Girl (Like A Man) - Band of Brothers
Just A Kid - The Outsiders
Bear The Burden Alone - The Chronicles of Narnia
For Whatever We Lose - Band of Brothers
Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Yes, absolutely! I share my writing because it allows me to connect with people who share my interests. If I'm not posting replies, it feels more like a one sided conversation, imo. Also, it seems the polite thing to do
What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending?
It's about to be Like A Girl (Like A Man)! You'll see why soon >:)
What the fic you've written with the happiest ending?
On AO3, it's probably Bear The Burden Alone, but I try to keep the fics that I post here on Tumblr kinda upbeat with hopeful -- albeit open-ended -- endings.
Do you write crossovers?
Yeah! For Whatever We Lose is actually a crossover with The Pacific, and I'd love to do more crossovers in the future
Have you ever received hate on a fic?
Yep! I've deleted the comments, but some people were VERY ANGRY about the background Babe/Roe content in LAGLAM -- you know, despite the fact that the plot of the fic is driven by a queer woman's decision to cross-dress. Guess they had to draw the line somewhere, but the hypocrisy of it all makes me chuckle
Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Kinda? I deleted most of it from the original LAGLAM drafts and instead just alluded to it, but things are going to be different in FWWL. Get ready for crappy ocean metaphors and religious imagery, babes!
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
I hope not :( That would stink
Have you ever had a fic translated?
Not to my knowledge
Have you ever co-written a fic before?
No, but I think it would be fun!
What's your all-time favorite ship?
Everlark! (said while frothing at the mouth because they make me go insane) I've been obsessed with them since I first read The Hunger Games at age 9. I could write you a whole novel about why I think they're perfect together, but I'll spare you the ramble (unless anyone wants it?)
What's a WIP that you want to finish but don't think you ever will?
Tears in my eyes when I tell you that it's probably the requests in my inbox. I keep telling myself that I'll get to them, but I've just felt unmotivated with all the stuff I've had going on in my personal life/at school. I really really do hope to get to them someday, though, because some of them will be really fun to write
What are your writing strengths?
I have no clue, lol. I tend to get compliments about how I describe settings, so I'm gonna say that!
What are your writing weaknesses?
My abuse of commas and italics.
What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?
Personally, I love doing it. Especially in a fic like LAGLAM, where even though most people don't speak the language I'm using (Cherokee), I feel like they can still see the importance to the characters and to the story. And I like tricking people into caring about Indigenous language preservation. My teachers told me that anything can be a vessel for carrying language on, and by God, I took that to heart
What was the first fandom you wrote for?
Oh boy. I was in the fifth grade. I had won many writing competitions. Two classmates approached me and told me that they wished The Hunger Games had more post-Mockingjay Everlark content, and that since I was a good writer, they wanted me to write it. I was traded many cosmic brownies and other such snacks throughout the year for my services in providing my classmates with Everlark fics on pages of notebook paper that are probably crumpled up in a landfill by now. At the time, I had no idea I was writing fanfiction, but it was the start of my favorite hobby. Look at me now, baby!
What's a fandom/ship you haven't written for yet but want to?
I've always wanted to write for TURN: Washington's Spies but have never had the courage haha
What's your favorite fic you've written?
I have a couple of one-shots that I'm pretty pleased with, but currently I'm going to say LAGLAM because it's been so special to me <3

Twenty Questions: Fic Author Edition
tagged by @professionalfangrrl and @no-where-new-hero Thank you!
1-How many works do you have on ao3?
23. Since tumblr is such a mess I try to even post my drabbles there.
2-What's your total AO3 word count?
303,924 (literally how is it that many??)
3-What fandoms do you write for?
The Hunger Games, The Office, and The Blue Castle. Back on ff.net I also had one fic for Twilight and one for Persuasion, though these are no longer posted and I don't have plans to re-post them.
4-What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Katniss Wants Kisses
I Do
Sing You Back Home
The Only One
Better Man
5-Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
99% of the time, yes, at least on ao3. I don't always if someone replies to my reply, lol. It's a delight to respond to readers! Especially those that take time to comment.
6-What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
The angstiest ending I've written is I Do, probably. It's an AU taking place in a similar situation to Mockingjay so I'd say it's fairly equivalent in terms of death and trauma.
7-What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
The True Name, I'd say. As a Blue Castle fanfic, The True Name sticks with the canon super fairy tale ending.
8-Do you get hate on fics?
I did get one call-out comment on ao3 for a post I'd made here on tumblr, but other than that I don't remember any negative comments on ao3. I for sure got hate on ff.net all those years ago. It was rare in comparison to the positive comments, but I got PMs for I Do that I would consider hate, and some more critical comments on that one. I did get a straight-up anon hate comment directed toward me, the author, not the work, on Roses and Pearls the first time I posted it on ff.net, but the person ended up PMing me and apologizing which was big of them.
9-Do you write smut? If so what kind?
I have written explicit smut that I haven't published and "M" rated smut that is mild and I have published. And some fade-to-black. I'm trying to get more comfortable in this area though I don't think I'll ever be an author someone goes to for smut.
10-Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
I am currently working on a Hungers Game/Hadestown crossover and I am breaking my creative brain to work it.
11-Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of. I haven't looked for it and no one has alerted me to any. I know some of my deleted work exists in personal libraries, but I don't care as long as those aren't shared publicly.
12-Have you ever had a fic translated?
I Do was translated into Chinese and Russian as far as I remember. I think some of the old Roses and Pearls was translated into Chinese also. My old deleted fic Sing For Me might have been translated as well? Not aware of/remember any others!
13-Have you ever cowritten a fic before?
Nothing that's been published.
14-What's your all-time favorite ship?
Everlark. They are my true, ultimate OTP.
15-What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
Ah a call-out! Probably Both Sides Now. I'd like for it to be finished, but you know, there are some things that just like that.
16-What are your writing strengths?
You want me to compliment myself?! Well, I like writing dialogue and a comment I often get is that I write in-character for my fics, which is something I strive to do.
17-What are your writing weaknesses?
My prose. I have to think real hard about that stuff. I feel my prose is very cliche and pedestrian, and anything that isn't comes from my blood, sweat, and tears to make it decent. The atmosphere of my writing especially suffers for this.
18-Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
I wrote some descriptions of ASL for Both Sides Now as I made Lavinia deaf in that fic. I took four semesters of ASL in college so I felt comfortable with that, but other than maybe some Spanish I otherwise would only feel comfortable using someone's help with the translation.
19-First fandom you wrote for?
Wrote for would be The Hunger Games. I would "write" fanfiction in my head since I was a little kid and Sabrina and Harvey broke up on Sabrina the Teenage Witch but first actual writing was The Hunger Games. Waiting for Mockingjay to be released was a bitch and got me started.
20-Favorite fic you've ever written?
Following my heart, I have to go with Sing You Back Home. I put a lot into it, including my own tears. As an Everlark shipper its premise is very important to me--Prim lives and so Katniss and Gale don't have a falling out and it's confirmed again and again that no matter what, Everlark would have happened anyway.
Tagging: @bodyelectric77 @jenniferiawrence @katnissmellarkkk @adsosfraser @caesarflickermans @browneyeddevil and anyone else I might be forgetting!

I haven't done one of these in a long time, I need motivation to write, and I'm off work for the coming week, so we're doing a five-days long
Flash fic week
What it is: A micro even where anyone can send me a writing prompt and I fill it within 100-500 words. No beta, no spellcheck, but a slim chance of me making things longer if I feel inspired.
What the results look like: I compile all my flash fics in this AO3 series, in case you want to see what that looks like.
The dates: April 15 to April 19 2024, Bangkok time. I'm being loosey goosey with the deadlines though so don't be afraid to send prompts early or late x)
The prompts: can be a pairing, a first sentence, or a general setting (ie. "Everlark Pacific Rim AU" or "BoB Coffeeshop AU"), or taken from my writing games tag.
If you don't specify characters or pairing, I'll just go with whatever I feel like writing x)
The fandoms: For a full list of fandoms I've written for, see my AO3 profile, feel free to pick any of them!
Fandoms I'm particularly into (writing wise) at the moment:
Band of Brothers
Saint Seiya
The Hunger Games
The Witcher
Good Omens
And that's about all you need to know for this round, please prompt away :D

Twenty Questions: Fic Author Edition
Thank you @bodyelectric77 for tagging me! I always love participating in these fun things. I am quite new to fanfic though (two months more or less) so I'll do my best to answer as much as I can <3
1-How many works do you have on ao3?
2
2-What's your total AO3 word count?
23,538 words
3-What fandoms do you write for?
The Hunger Games. But I'm not closed to maybe writing for others.
4-What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Cold Coffee
Fated From The Start
I've only published two atm :)
5-Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
yesyesyesyes
I absolutely love comments. No matter how long they are I appreciate them so much. To know that people read my stuff AND that they like it AND wanna let me know, it completely makes my day. So I try to answer all of them, even if its just to say thank you. I especially love when the commenter references a specific part of the fic that they liked or made them laugh. It hits a spot.
6-What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
uhhhh.
at the moment I don't have any out. None of my fics have ended lmao. But something may or may not be in the works. Idk, not sure yet.
7-What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
once again, none of my fics have ended but I think Fated From The Start's will be the happiest.
8-Do you get hate on fics?
No at the moment, no. But if I keep writing its possible I will. But we'll cross that bridge when it comes to it.
9-Do you write smut? If so what kind?
Nope. Not really my strong suit or focus when writing. I've written a few suggestive scenes but nothing too intense or graphic. It's very difficult to write good smut so kudos to all writers who do.
10-Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
No
11-Have you ever had a fic stolen?
No and hoping it stays that way lmao
12-Have you ever had a fic translated?
No
13-Have you ever cowritten a fic before?
No
14-What's your all-time favorite ship?
Honestly Everlark. I really like both characters individually and think they're ship is pretty fitting. But if you had asked 12 year old me, she would've said Marshal lee from Adventure Time and me.
15-What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
There's a piece about Katniss not liking Peeta back till they were much older and both married sitting in my drafts buuuut I don't think I'll ever get to finishing it.
16-What are your writing strengths?
I actually don't know lmao. At least I'm not sure when it comes to fics. But I've been told I'm good at evoking emotion when it comes to sadness in other pieces I've written. I guess I still have to develop them.
17-What are your writing weaknesses?
I can get impatient quickly, leading me to sometimes not expand on something at first and just quickly writing it out. It sucks. And in the end slows me down even more. Since I have to come back and write things over. So a lot of times my descriptions fall short. It cringes me out when I read something back that I wrote in a hurry.
18-Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
I would love to. I'm actually trilingual but Spanish is my first language so I'd love to write a fic in it. I think some things are just better written in Spanish, at least for me. Maybe one day I'll include it in one of the fics.
19-First fandom you wrote for?
The Hunger Games
20-Favorite fic you've ever written?
Fated From The Start! It's the one I spend more time in.
This was super fun and I'm tagging @thelettersfromnoone should they choose to do it, and anyone else who sees this since the rest of my mutuals have been tagged <3

20 questions for fic writers
thanks for the tag @bad-surprise and @ladykettlechips
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
71 under my name and a few on anon!
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
796,982 which is kind of insane to think about. I started writing creatively for the first time in years in January of 2022. To have published this much is kind of crazy to think about. I'm likely going to hit 800k this year which is... Just wild. Lol.
3. What fandoms do you write for?
The vast majority of my fic Bridgerton! I've written a two for The Rings of Power (Haladriel), one for Shadow and Bone (Darklina), and one for The Hunger Games (Everlark). I have plans for a few more Haladriel and Darklina :)
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
(NOTE: I actually have never looked at my fics by kudos, I only know the set up is the most kudos'd one because well it's over 1k and none of my other fics are. So going through this was interesting!)
The Set Up — My Kathony royals au where Anthony is the King of England and Kate is a world famous actress. This is my most popular fic by far, I'm not sure how it ended up that way! It's a mind boggling amount of kudos (1,769 as of right now) and I know a lot of folks have much larger kudos counts, and it's hardly the most kudos'd in the fandom lol, but it's pretty big for me and I'm not sure if I'll write something else that'll get more lol. I do love this fic a lot, it feels like they're my own characters and that's likely because I've taken plenty of liberties and whatnot. Anyway. I could do talk about it for ages so I'll move on!
Hold Onto You -- A oneshot of Anthony holding babies--his own and his siblings. It was one of the first things I ever wrote for the fandom! Looking back it's a bit of foreshadowing for how I started to write lol--it was a pretty long oneshot written in less than a day which I've done multiple times since then. I haven't revisited this one in a while and don't even know if I can--writing regency is not my strong suit and my earlier writing is still hard for me to read these days lol.
leave the light on — A twoshot where Kate and Anthony are roommates and fall in love. It's set in NYC and is very rom-com-y! It has some of my favorite things to write; domesticity, people growing with one another and around one another, descriptions of the sky, descriptions of the subway, descriptions of NYC, a big wedding, a love confession. I recently finished it lol! I'm actually surprised this is up there!
Office Hours — I wrote this in September of last year in an attempt to get better at writing smut! I actually posted this on anon first because it felt too revealing to post this lol. I was actually really uncomfortable writing smut back then and I think I've improved a lot since then. The response was wild, I really was just so in the weeds with this fic that I couldn't even tell if it was hot or not lol.
lost in your current like a priceless wine— this is my prof au! And an age gap au :) writing this was wild and special. It was a lot of texting Kara and being so very thoroughly enveloped and possessed with this idea that was taking shape. I wrote this over countries and continents and on planes. I wrote all 40k of it in far less than a month and just! I dunno! It was so immersive. It's one of my favorite things I've written. It's crazy it was just this year.
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I do! Lol that being said--I have quite a backlog right now. Responding to comments takes a lot of energy and time from me and I usually figure that people want me to write fic as opposed to responding to comments. I do want to say that I honestly sincerely appreciate every comment. I think all fic writers do. We love hearing what you loved and love hearing your thoughts! I'm sure my not responding to them is likely not encouraging so I'm sorry. Know that I want to respond to them and I am quite literally in the process of doing so right now lol. If you commented on Bridgerton, Actually (my Love, Actually AU from last year) then I've been responding to you lol!
6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
This fic isn't finished but my daddy warned me about men like you lol!
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
I'm a sucker for a happy ending! I'm not sure what my happiest ending is, but the vast majority of fics have a happy ending :) Feel free to lmk what you think the happiest ending is.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Yes. I've gotten some really inane hate comments that are just... dumb and easy to brush off. I've also gotten really intense hate comments that are so long they've required multiple comments, with people reposting exactly what they wrote after I deleted it. It's been really tough to deal with and I think I have some mild anxiety around comments in general as a result. Anyway, it's tough! I think hate comments tend to stick around the most in my brain and so I do appreciate all the nice comments because the gut clench from negative ones never really goes away :,)
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
I do indeed write smut! I'm not really sure if I can describe what "kind" or how you can tell what your kind of smut is? I write plenty of dirty talk and smut with and without feelings. In general, I think that smut does need to do something for the story if it's in a fic with plot--if it's a fic that's just smut then it doesn't really matter. If it's a fic with plot, I like to make sure the smut actually helps the plot along and works to carry the reader through what the characters are feeling and their journeys.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
I haven't but I will enjoy adding celebs or pop culture things in fics!
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Yeah.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Nope but if anyone ever wants to, lmk! Translation is an art form and tricky and time consuming and I'm happy to work with anyone who wants to :)
13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?
I have and I have LOVED doing it!!!!! I was so thrilled to write the West Wing AU with Rama, whose Tumblr @ I simply cannot find, and @grantairesbottle and I wrote in our perfect park together! Both AUs will be getting follow-up fics :) I truly adore both of their work and getting to write with two dear friends and incredible writers was just so lovely. Even more fun than that was just getting to freak out over this shared idea together! It was just such a lovely joint venture.
14. What’s your all-time favorite ship?
I could not pick one! I love James/Lily from Harry Potter, Katniss/Peeta from The Hunger Games, and Kate/Anthony from Bridgerton. I'd honestly say they're my OTPs! I love them so, so much. I've read so many Everlark and Jily fics growing up, too, those I've had for so long. It's kind of hilarious how those three have so much in common, like it's not like I went around looking for ships like that but it just happens. You like what you like, I suppose :)
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
I honestly do want to finish all of them but I don't think I'll finish my Gilmore Girls AU, simply because the characterization is so far off from what I think or how I understand those characters now.
16. What are your writing strengths?
Creating really immersive worlds through specific details. Doing research to make worlds lived in. I write a LOT of modern AUs for a book/show that takes place in regency England so I think world-building is one of my biggest strengths. Being able to transport characters into new worlds and understanding how they'd respond to that specific world and situation of the fic is another strength. I think my banter is pretty good? I also like to think I have a pretty good pulse on what my audience will like and what seems to be the thing du jour in the fandom. I usually don't end up writing to it lol but this is a strength as a reader, I'd say, not as a writer.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
PATIENCE lol! If I spent more time perfecting, editing, and letting things percolate, I think my works would all be better for it. Instead, I largely write and write and write and then hit publish the moment I'm done. With a few fics (specifically the royals au) I will have someone beta for me and then I at least have another level of editing and another pair of eyes for a vibe/gut check before I publish. I do think, however, that if I was brave enough to actually face my work and sit and edit, it would all be better in general. I'd also then be able to finish a fic before posting, which I've simply never done.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
I do plenty of this for Bridgerton fic because I usually try and include Marathi or Hindi for Kate and her family. Idk if i'd count it as another language but it is another language in the sense that it's not English!
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Harry Potter lol! I wish I still had my old HPFF fics :,,) that website sadly went down and I don't know how to use the wayback machine to find that. But yeah!
20. Favorite fic you’ve ever written?
Oh, I couldn't pick just one! The Set Up is def one. I've done a lot of work with world building and research for that one. Sweet Like Honey is another favorite fic. I wouldn't even say that it's really a great example of those characters because I did a lot of work to bend things to make stuff work for this particular situation. I maintain that it's true to the characters for this specific situation which is a p bonkers one. I mean, I wanted a step-father fic so I wrote one! It turned into something a bit more involved. lost in your current like a priceless wine is another fav. This one is just... it's special to me. It was really different from the other fics being written at the time and I hadn't seen or read an age gap like that for these two or a fic where they don't have that initial bickering/fighting vibes, which was a result ofc of Anthony being a bit older and the characterization I gave him for the AU, so it felt really scary putting it up for people to read. The response was really overwhelming and wonderful and so kind. That fic also marks a sort of turning point in my own writing, for me at least. I think I got braver after that one.
Thanks for the tag! I hope this is fun or interesting to read :) tagging @grantairesbottle @amalinwrites @somethingclearandtrue @tinacentury and Rama whose @ is not coming up !! Also tagging anyone who would like to do this :)

First/Last Sentence Tag War
I was tagged by @chaoticstupiddm and @writerrose1998, maybe by someone else I'm not sure, sorry...
I don't have much new since yesterday but I'm getting back on Woe of Wrath chapter 20, so here is what I found in the doc I just opened. Not sure it will still be there when I'm done with this hell of a chapter (it gives me rashes!) but for now, here it is.
First sentences :
“Wednesday. Wake up, sweetheart. Please.”
Before she was even truly awake, Tyler’s words echoed in the girl’s head, triggering an alarm. Sweetheart? Really? Wednesday opened her eyes, ready to throw the driest barren reply she could come up with to the boy who had dared… But as she blinked and assessed Tyler’s face, the verbal jab died on her lips.
Last sentences :
“I don’t know what to do, and I don’t know where we should go, and I don’t know how to get us there, and I don’t know who I am, and I don’t know what to do with my dad, and I don’t know what you are thinking, and I don’t know what you want, and I CAN’T THINK BECAUSE I CAN��T MAKE IT STOP!”
His voiced turned to a shaky murmur.
“I think I’m losing my mind, Wednesday.”
Tagging back everyone crying because they can't read or post anything right now, including @nonamemanga @insomniac1994 @alexabrier @broken-everlark @persephoneed @chaoticstupiddm @writerrose1998 @bithablu @cosmic-lullaby @ourdramaqueen @suchaladyy @anotherbluesunday @therulerofallpotatos @frnotelise @chinita-inzunza @wednesdayandherhyde @ablatheringblatherskite @diamantdog @realmermaid333 @lovepoison9 @allergictocolor

kdnfb's Ten Years of Fanfiction Mania
Featuring: Unmasked
Summary: Written under an Anonymous pseudonym ~M~ to fill the following prompt ~ Historical Katniss and Peeta hate each other. They attend a masquerade ball and for some reason end up kissing each other. Sparks fly everywhere. Katniss tries to find the man behind the mask but Peeta knows it was Katniss though he doesnt say anything. They end up bethrothed even if they 'despise' each other. How they fall in love is up to u and how katniss figured out it was peeta is up to u
Rating: E for explicit sexual content, explicit language, implied/referenced rape/nonconsensual (not everlark), implied/referenced child abuse, implied/referenced suicide, implied/referenced miscarriage, discussions of illness, war, and injury in a historical setting, ptsd, minor character death. They worst of these tags happens offscreen and is merely discussed and dealt with rather than shown here.
A/N: ~Unmasked~ is my longest fic in terms of word count (around 234k), although Outside Chance and Spellbound are not too far behind and are both incomplete. Unmasked started as something meant to be fun and cathartic, then turned into a ridiculously long and self indulgent fic that I still, to this day, have no idea if the anonymous person who submitted the prompt to @everlarkficexchange even read, let alone whether or not they liked it. But I love what I produced for this fic.
Why write it anonymously and only reveal myself later? A couple reasons. 1) Historical is not my wheel house. At least not writing it. I am a shameless consumer of historical romances. I did some research for this fic but not nearly the level I would've liked to have done. Eventually, I said screw it, it's about the vibes not the accuracy. 2) I had a pile of unfinished wips when I started this, to include Outside Chance and Spellbound (both of which are still unfinished hmmmmm) and I really didn't want a lot of questions about when I was going to get back to those while I was working on this because 3) I'd just gone through a small slice of writerly hell to the point that I seriously considered deleting my entire tumblr and all of my fanfic. Details are not important right now, the result is. That's probably the closest I've ever come to calling myself done with fandom.
Then this prompt posted to EFE and wouldn't leave me alone. Eventually, I decided that if I was going to write it, I wanted to write it with as little pressure as possible. So I chose to write and post it as ~M~ until it was finished. Plus, I thought it might make it fun for people other than me if there was a bit of mystery behind it. And I don't regret doing that.
Writing behind a mask allowed me to be as long winded and self-indulgent as I wanted to without worrying about how tight the storyline was or how accurate the historical details were, or wondering if I'd be walking into my tumblr and a barrage of the kind of messages I'd come to dread receiving. The only thing I worried about, really was if the amount and kind of smut I included gave me away prematurely lmao.
While this was my first real foray into the realm of historical fics, I am hoping it's not the last. I've got too many ideas and half started pieces to back out of it now. But those, like this one, will probably remain untethered to a specific real place, and a specific time, mainly because I just don't have that kind of time for research if I'm not getting paid to do it lol. They will be works of love if not works of accuracy.

2023 WRITING REVIEW
tagged: no one i just wanted to do this and i forgot about it soz </3
tagging : board of directors i'd tag u here but this is mostly fic-based so sorree... anyway if u have already done this my b.... i wld like to see ur post tho @evcndiaz | @brimay | @usignedupforthis | @seek--rest | @posallys | @dustorangeheartssnowman | @adhd-merlin | @queerofthedagger
number of stories posted to ao3: 34 ±1 bc i updated a fic from a while back <3
word counted posted for last year: 90k... a feat (i wrote more but it was ofic so add like maybe 10k to that)
fandoms i wrote for: alex stern series, merlin, house md, pjo, spidey, hunger games, doctor who, & the grisha trilogy
pairings: merthur / arwen / mergwenthur / mergana, darlingstern, hilson, percabeth, petermj, everlark, tenrose, malina
stories with the most
KUDOS: jealousy, jealousy (house md) with 522 <3
BOOKMARKS: except my life (merlin) with 137 <3
COMMENT THREADS: rip current (pjo) with 38 <3
*technically the answer to all of these is tested with torment but that's a fic i updated so i don't reallyyyyyy count it
work i'm most proud of (and why): thread of gold (arwen, bbc merlin) because i don't exactly post 2nd person fic and tbh most people HATEEEEE 2nd person fic AND i got people to enjoy it. HA!
work i'm least proud of (and why): coffee drinker (gen fic, bbc merlin) because it was just a promptfic and i didn't even really feel like posting it but i wrote it so i might as well yk?
share or describe a favorite review you received: any review that quotes a line but this one from judas kiss (arwen, bbc merlin)...
THIS. IS. WONDERFUL ❤️❤️❤️ *creates bookmark with gusto* I LOVE that you dug into what it might have been like for Gwen while she was under that enchantment! It was so creative to have her past memories blurring with glimpses of the present during the enchantment. I *felt* her disorientation, and it *hurt*. I felt so bad for Gwen all over again! 😭😭😭 That aspect of this story could have been a fantastic standalone one-shot in its own right, but noooo, you raised the bar and KEPT GOING and made it even better!!! I love that you showed Gwen and Merlin staying friends after Gwen becomes queen, and I love how she confides in him and how he immediately drops everything to go look for the offending piece of jewelry. The bit about Arthur’s incredulity at Merlin’s method of testing the enchantment was a great dash of humor, and I love that you fleshed out the concept of the enchantment to be something the others could experience so that they could truly *know* that Gwen had been innocent. And don’t even get me started on how much I love Arthur’s “Forgive me.” I love how he doesn’t think twice about humbling himself in front of everyone because his focus is solely on Gwen, consumed by the urgency of doing the right, honorable, and loving thing in that moment. You write Arthur and Gwen’s relationship so beautifully. 💕 Well done; I hate you (/affectionate) for all these feels. 🥰🫂👏
a time when writing was really, really hard: august through october... idek why i was literally in agony not writing
a scene or character you wrote that surprised you: writing jj in spider-man: homewrecker because i've NEVER written him before (in my memory) and i was like. Hello .
a favorite excerpt of your writing: cannae lie i have a few favs so...
killing is a love language (mergana, bbc merlin)
Heartbreak snakes up his throat, constricting him at the sight of her. Morgana’s beauty is incontestable even like this, but her hatred wore her down to her bones. Gone were the full cheeks and rosy lips, the perfectly combed hair, the wardrobe that would put princesses to shame. Now, her face is sunken in, her hair a curled storm, her dress is merely black rags at this point.
thread of gold (arwen, bbc merlin)
Your father’s presence is larger than life. Larger than love. It looms. It casts shadows long enough to hide every hope and dream you’ve ever had for yourself.
the boy and the girl (malina, the grisha trilogy)
Memory fractures into shards. Real or not real? There’s Mal in the meadow. Mal buried beneath the hanging tree. Mal cold in her palms. There’s a sky darker than night. Her hands bloodied. A knife lodged in his heart. Her knife. His blood. Her fault. She killed him. She loves him. Her fault. Rest her head on his still chest. Her fault. No heartbeat. Her fault. No warmth. Cold light spilling from her palms. She killed him. The Saint’s only true worshipper martyred.
how did you grow as a writer last year: my hopes from last year was that i finally finish a multichap fic.... 😭 does a short 3-shot count. besides that i wrote more consistently and i'm finally Used to my writing style. i think.
how do you hope to grow this year: hell if i know if i could write something longer than 20k that'd be great 😭😭😭😭
who was your greatest positive influence this year as a writer (could be another writer, beta, cheerleader, etc.): the board.... @rosesau / @bipercabeth / @stellwood fnh...... i'd tag katie but she absconded from tumblr smh. anyway hi freaks n geeks
anything from your real life show up in your writing last year: oh i don't even know. nothing ig
any new wisdom you can share with other writers: bro idek the more i write the more writing becomes fundamentally so hard to talk about ... sorreeee
any projects you're looking to starting (or finishing) this year: IF I DON'T FUCKING MAKE PROGRESS ON MY PLAY I WILL BASH MY HEAD INTO A WALL. THIS CAN'T KEEP HAPPENING. ATLAS AND VIVIAN YOU WILL BE WRITTEN ON THE PAGE INSHALLAH

Hello friends! Gurin has a question:
I ask this because romione is my otp and this blog is obviously very harry potter centered. It used to be my personal blog as a teen but nevermind. I'm torn between keeping this a romione space, where you can find romione bliss all around once you enter it - or opening it up for another ships - in reality everlark because > i am obsessed <
If I am to keep it romione, I'd create a new blog, and I even have the name: gurindeen! If not, I'd be a matter of browsing by tags, but I feel like tumblr is making that harder everyday. Honestly, it's kinda hard putting a whole new thing up. I didn't figure out how to like or follow with the second account yet lol. But I don't want to make anyone frustrated. And I rather like theme specific blogs, you always know what to expect from them. So I thought I'd make a poll! Vote please to help a sister out 💖

Twenty Questions: FanFic Author Edition
A thanks to @bodyelectric77 for tagging me!
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
I have 47 works on there but I have no idea how that happened.
2. What's your total AO3 word count?
936,349 - almost to 1 million! If I actually finished up some stories I'm sure I'd be there in no time. Or if I posted all of my WIPs!
3. What fandoms do you write for?
The Hunger Games mostly. I do have some for A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones, but it's all Jaime/Brienne because they are everything.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Reignite Me - HG
Thinning Walls - GoT
Catching Fire and Burning Down - HG
Rising Dawn - GoT
The Expecting Mockingjay - HG
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I try to, but I'm socially awkward! Sometimes I have no idea what to say. If they ask a direct question, I'll almost always respond.
6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
A Long Lost Love I think. It's a one-shot with Avox!Peeta.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
... I'm not sure I have one. I usually write angst!
8. Do you get hate on fics?
I have, yes. I'm not sure why. I started writing fanfic when I was 12. I'm 25 now. I've definitely seen a fair share, especially when I wasn't that good at writing, but even now I still see it. But for every person who leaves hate, there are hundreds more who are kind. I've never had to address the hate comments because my readers always beat me to it and I love them for that!
9. Do you write smut? If so what kind?
Sometimes! I'm not sure I post it too often. I like the forbidden love kind of smut. No particular kinks! That kind of stuff depends on the characters/ship.
10. Do you write crossovers?
Somewhat. I've got one posted!
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
I don't think so...
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
No, not that I know of. Sometimes people will ask.
13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?
No, but I'd like to! I think collabs would be fun!
14. What's your all-time favorite ship?
This is difficult. It's a tie between Everlark and Jaime/Brienne.
15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
I'm not so sure I would say that I think I won't or that I don't plan on finishing them, but I do fear that I might not! If I had to say, it'd probably be Game of the Gods... it's a massive work.
16. What are your writing strengths?
I'm not sure. Probably Angst. Setting up/establishing stories maybe. I feel the easier part of a fic to write is the first few chapters. I also tend to go heavy on imagery and metaphor.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
So many! Finishing a fic is a struggle for me sometimes. I am always tempted to keep going or I struggle to wrap up all of my thoughts. Fluff is hard for me to write. I usually forego proper sentence structure. Dialogue can be difficult.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
I tend to write in first-person, so it's easier to say from their perspective what the other language the person is speaking and that they do not know it or describe what they are saying. I don't know enough to write in another language and I would hate to butcher it.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
The Hunger Games! And I'm still here!
20. Favorite fic you've ever written?
That's going to be either Game of the Gods or Thinning Walls.
I've never done one of these things before, it felt like the questions would never end! It was fun! I'm not sure if any of you have done it yet, but I'd love to see your answers...

Fanfic Writer Questions (and answers!)
Answer the questions and tag five fanfiction authors you know!
OMG thank you so much @unhealthyfanobsession for tagging me because I'm not particularly active on Tumblr right now so the fact someone remembers me is awesome 😂
🍓 How did you get into writing fanfiction?
It all started with reading fanfiction of Roswell High tv series (the original not the reboot). My love for Michael and Maria was too strong to not delve into the murky world online and that's when I discovered 'shipping', fanfiction and ship names.
Candygirl for life.
I've only ever gone hardcore for three ships.
🍇 How many fandoms have you written in?
I never wrote 'official' fanfiction for Roswell High so 2 - The Hunger Games (Everlark), and ACOTAR (Nessian/ Nesta).
🍈 How many years have you been writing fanfiction?
Ugh, don't make me count. So probably... 20. On and off. Mostly stuff for myself until I started finally putting some bits online.
🍎 Do you read or write more fanfiction?
Read more overall. I take forever to write fanfiction. I have a million ideas though.
🍌 What is one way you've improved as a writer?
Confidence. Actually putting myself out there and posting has done wonders. It's great to be anonymous and it's wonderful to receive positive comments and kudos but the sheer fact I've created something and distributed it is invaluable.
🍑 Do you have any bad habits as a writer?
Ideas ran rampant. I am never short of inspiration but do I write the stories??? Do I heck.
🍍 What's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?
Hmm. Not for fanfiction but I was writing an original story and needed to look up how long it would take a body to decompose and what state it would be.
🍉 What's your favorite type of comment to receive on your work?
Gosh anything. Feed me.
🍐 What's the most fringe trope/topic you write about?
I don't think I do anything 'fringe' - I have yet to finish my Nessian/ Neris fanfiction. Nessian is mainstream but I wouldn't even say Neris is fringe as it's gaining some traction.
🥭 What is the hardest type of story for you to write?
I think if I find something emotionally hard I will write it anyway - creative challenge and all that. If I don't WANT to write about something I just won't. Excessive SA in fics is so far from what I want to read and so it's far from what I want to write.
🍏 What is the easiest type?
Nesta slides into my mind with ease. Cassian not so much. Nesta is a bundle of pain and range and love with no way of expressing it healthily so I love anything from her POV.
🍋 What is something you've been too nervous/intimidated to write, but would love to write one day?
I'm trying to finish the fic I'm writing (Silver in Her Eyes). I'm finding that intimidating because it's looking like a 80,000 word piece. A whole novel basically. I feel a bit queasy thinking of it.
I also made good progress with a Nessian body swap before I scrapped it. Somehow I ran out of steam.
🍇 What made you choose your username?
It's connected to my real name in a very loose and creative way. Mwah ha ha ha ha.

Ughhh I'm so tired of following the hunger games tag when most of the posts are just people shitting on Gale. I don't understand the appeal and honestly it feels like these people are stuck in middle school shipping wars or something.
Also they are totally trying to cope with the fact that the hunger games wasn't lovey dovey enough for them by shitting on Gale and pretending that Katniss was always head over heels for Peeta.
Or maybe, once again, they just read too many fanfics and hunger game copies. Let's see, in Divergent there's one love interest and one guy friend who's in love with the protagonist. Tris, the main character, is head over heels in love with this hunky mysterious dude. Meanwhile her friend who isn't attractive to her is in love with her and when she rejects him he goes crazy and commits crimes against her. So are you guys confusing Hunger games with Divergent? Blasphemous tbh.
I think it's pretty obvious when you read the books that Peeta and Gale are both good guys, otherwise they wouldn't react the exact same way to the same situation only a few pages apart. Gale is not a murderer and did not murder Prim, and if you think that you're just trying to cope with the fact that you think Gale is hotter than Peeta and you need a reason to hate him so you're fine with Katniss not choosing him.
The books are over. Katniss ended up with Peeta, she chose to be with him. There is no shipping war to play out, so why even smear Gale like this? He's just a character who Katniss didn't fall in love with. The only thing he did wrong was kiss her without asking first but I seriously can't remember if this was in the books or not. I remember a lot of kissing between Katniss and Gale where Katniss wants to kiss him for her own selfish reasons: Either because she feels sorry for him and thinks this will help, or because it makes her feel alive. Katniss is actively misleading him, and it's fine because everyone makes mistakes and she's young but like she knows he's in live with her so she should probably not kiss him and let him think that she wants him?
Meanwhile Katniss kisses Peeta like a million times .... not because she wants to. Because she's forced to. In a few of these instances she mentions feeling good about it anyway, but it falls flat for me when she is being forced to kiss someone. It seems to me that any time Katniss deals out kisses, it's a bad thing. Yet the everlark fandom keeps romantizising it and claiming that Katniss kisses peeta because she loves him. To me, kisses is obviously not the way that Katniss shows love, she just does it to try to please others and it's never born of her own desire for someone. If I had this history with kissing, I would be traumatized and never want to kiss anyone ever again, especially the person I have been forced to kiss.
Katniss is a complicated character and the hunger games series are complicated books. They're not your avarage love triangle shipping war material, so why is team Everlark still shitting on Gale? It's ridicolous
