Fandom Creator's Self-Rec Game!

Choose five favourites from your own creations (and tell me why, if you like!), then pass on to at least five other people. I'd love to hear what you're proudest of.

Tagged by the wonderful @zaharya (whose post I have now bookmarked for later reading!)

Five of my own favourites, hmmmm. All right. Four of these are super long (all 200k+) , but the first one is relatively short for me, at somewhere around 15,000 words, for people looking for lighter reads! 😁 All are complete except Hiraeth.

Deliquesce (Merlin - Merthur - 15k)

The creatures stepped forward, long, narrow muzzles agape. The sun did not deter them, merely setting their subtle scales agleam. Thick saliva dripped from their jaws, smattering on the ground, yet they did not lunge forward to strike. Instead, they waited, their gaze unblinking as they stared. At first, Arthur thought they watched the knights, but when he shifted his stance, their eyes did not follow him, Instead, it was someone behind him who held them captivated. Merlin. ----- A chance encounter with a monster in the woods makes Arthur realise just how powerful Merlin's magic is, and the lengths he would go to in order to keep him safe.

This was meant to be a ficlet and got away from me. I particularly loved the ideas in this one, also BAMF Merlin ftw every single time! Written from Arthur's POV with some Merthury goodness towards the end.

Sorcerer's Bane (Merlin - Merthur - 264k)

Arthur gave Merlin his cloak thinking only of the warmth it would offer in a snowstorm. He never thought his manservant may be mistaken for him and snatched by bandits. Nor did he expect his dashing rescue of Merlin to turn his world so utterly on his head. Because the bandits hadn't kidnapped a prince. They'd snatched a sorcerer, and now captivity is the least of anyone's problems. A golden age awaits, but can they claim it together, or are they doomed to fail?

My first big Merthur fic, and the one where I healed from all the psychic damage done by the finale. This was my plotty, happily ever after fic, and I love it with all my heart!

Hiraeth (Merlin - Merthur - Work In Progress - 214k so far)

A hand grasped his arm, sending a brief thrill down Merlin's nerves as he was forced around to face the person behind him. Armour gleamed in the firelight: supple chainmail glinted, and the solid iron of a pauldron curved lovingly over one broad shoulder. The length of a sword blade separated them. The point hovered, steady and sure, over Merlin's heart, braced to run him through, but he did not care about any of that. He was too busy drinking in the sight of the man before him. He could never forget him, no matter how many centuries had passed. 'Arthur?' When Merlin ultimately fails in his destiny, the fading remnants of magic that linger in the modern world fling him not just back in time, but sideways as well. He ends up in a Camelot where all his friends are alive, well and aware of his magic. He ends up in a Camelot where his alternate self died almost a year ago. Can he, Arthur and their friends still forge the golden age he was once promised, or will grief and suspicion tear them apart?

Couldn't not mention my angsty, plotty wip. This fic is five billions miles outside my comfort zone. I'm currently in the "I have bitten off more than I can chew freak-out" stage of writing it and I'm still having so much fun. This fic owns my soul. Maybe one day it will release me, but I doubt it.

The Gilded Cage (Sherlock - Johnlock - 326K )

In a world where Omegas are the property of the elite Alphas, locked away and treasured by those wealthy enough to buy them, John never questioned his flatmate's secondary gender. Sherlock Holmes was an Alpha through-and through. Wasn't he? A chance discovery turns the world on its head, and John is left grappling to come to terms with Sherlock's past as events conspire to threaten their future.

The Johnlock omegaverse that nearly killed me, and the longest thing I have written (so far). I had such fun exploring potential gender dynamics and imagining how this world could be, while doing my best to keep the characters strong and true to themselves. An oldie, but according to most readers, a goody. Mixed POV

Riven Crown (The Hobbit - Bagginshield - 254k )

‘We may have won the battle, but I fear the war with winter is just beginning.’ The aftermath of war is no laughing matter. Those who died must be honoured, those who are wounded must be healed, and those who remain need food and clothing, peace and sanctuary. With Thorin's life hanging in the balance, it is up to Bilbo and the rest of the Company to rule the rag-tag remnants of Erebor in his place. Then there is the matter of the gold... Can Bilbo save both king and kingdom, or is Erebor destined to fall deeper into ruin?

My battle of the Five Armies fix it, political intrigue, everybody lives/nobody dies effort to make the the Peter Jackson movies hurt less. I think I succeeded. A much loved favourite, because my style feels like it's particularly suited to fantasy 😁

Tagging (with no pressure and apologies if any of you are not writers!) @the-reading-lemon @writingfanficsfan @cbk1000 @ajpendragon and @mojoflower (as well as anyone else who sees this and fancies it!

For the ask game: Has fandom ever made you enjoy a pairing you previously hated?

henlo piaya! 

hmm okay idt i ever hated any pairing a lot unless it was well very inappropriate...like inc*st or smth; i was usually like ok yall can vibe and do ur own thing haha

but i did have a ship i did not have a positive impression of before i got into it: 

ok warning i ramble a lot and i SUCK at using periods so its just one long run on sentence i apologize in advance xD (and i use “like” way too much): 

(the second and third paragraphs can be skipped ish if needed haha)

before i watched sherlock i initially thought to myself that i like, probably wouldnt end up shipping johnlock  (lies...i always end up shipping), and like i knew there was kind of drama about it a long time ago but i wasnt in fandom then so i didnt know and i was scared i’d be like, judged for being a johnlock shipper or whatever so when i went into it i did not have a good view of the ship (i didnt hate it, i just doubted it) (i initially had to watch eps 1 and 2 for brit lit class in school so well that kind of ruined the effect but i ended up rewatching both and then watching everything else)  

but then i was like ok sike nvm its like definitely gay (<- pls imagine this in john watson’s voice for maximum effect) and i was like goddamn the chemistry DAMNNNN (i would do an analogy of two elements that r really good together but frankly ive forgotten most of my chem knowledge and all i can remember is hcl and nacl and neither of those sound like a good analogy) and like just the moments john and sherlock have and like idk the tension between them and especially just the way they just complement each other so WELL?? how?? martin freeman and benedict cumberbatch r really good actors ahdafsl and like how they’d do anything to save the other and the LONGING and just bjaldsuujksdf and they just ugh just THEYRE SO GOOD TOGETHER and i just had that moment of realization at some point maybe after i finished s1 - that pool scene, and i was like....OH. and then i was like WHAT DO U MEAN JOHN GETS MARRIED and THEN SHERLOCK LEFT THE GODDAMN  WEDDING EARLY and OMLL ok also the ajsdfll whats it called i forget but the uhhh the trolley scene?? ive rewatched that scene an unhealthy number of times also so much stuff in the abominable bride and o also irene adler that was really interesting as well (<- both of these i understood a lot better after absorbing fandom content) and i was like wow...johnlock is real but so is the queerbaiting...big sad...

(listen after i finished binging s4 (which i finished at like 4 am one day) i was like WHAT WHAT WHAT i was utterly confused (i had to read some fluff before i could go to sleep that day lmao)) and i was still hesitant to ship even after all that cause i thought the fandom was dead (im what like idk 3, 5, 6 years late?? idk) so i told myself like dont get ur hopes up right,

ok and then i was like...WAIT THERES SHERLOCK BLOGS ALIVE!! A LOT OF THEM!!!! and i was like wait no way and there were so many johnlock shippers!! and i was like no way yooo and then i followed people and then boom i felt like i could finally just ship johnlock like freely and there was like so much content and i was like whoa!!! im- wow this is so cool! like the tipping point for me like the green light for me to ship it and i was like omg no way i can ship it :D and after like consuming a lot of fandom content i understood a lot better, the evidence for johnlock, (it was kind of like a muddled puddle in my brain when i finished binging and i knew i shipped it but i just like idk i needed to clear up stuff in my brain) and wow the meta is so good in this fandom like DAMN yall big brains bro...+ gifs and fanart and fics and all the content and like idk the vibes r very cool (tho a bit intimidating haha) and then fandom then inspired me to make gifs so thats actually what got me started to try and learn how to make gifs haha and also to create this sherlock blog! it was awesome like getting to see people who shipped it like me like on my dash...cause i didnt really know many people who well were as crazy about it as i was (def no one i knew irl rip) 

so um yeah thats how i kind of got into johnlock! a lot of it was thanks to fandom, like me seeing that johnlock blogs were indeed alive, contrary to what i thought before, and the content that helped me understand stuff a lot better, and i was just like overly hyped that the fandom was still alive haha

thanks for reading through all that 😅im sorry if it doesnt make sense i am writing this at an ungodly hour and i always have a habit of rambling so lmk if anything needs explaining (i...will explain properly lmao not keyboard smashing and whatnot)

thank u for the ask!! 

OH MY FUCKING GOD YOU GUYS

I'm late to this fandom, so I think there's a very good possibility that people before me have pointed this out but I'm going to, anyway.

In that very memorable dinner date scene, when they enter, Sherlock thanks Billy, the waiter, AND YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE HIM REMOVE THE 'RESERVED' CARD FROM THE TABLE SHERLOCK PLANNED THE MOTHERFUCKING THING OH MY FUCKING GOD I'M SCREAMING

Just a lazy day of reading for the boys. 🥰

On anxiety re. writing

So, here’s a confession: when I first started writing fanfiction back in 2002 or 2003 (Harry Potter was my bag back then!), I was very nervous about posting my first chapter of my first fic, and then the second and third and fourth chapters, etc etc. And then the second and third fic. And then I gained momentum and readers and followers on livejournal (it was back in the LJ era!!) and gained confidence. But with every new story I post, there’s always a margin of “but what if this is the one that actually fully sucks and no one likes it? What if this is the one that makes them see that I actually have no talent whatsoever, and therefore no business posting this stuff, no place in this fandom”, etc etc etc. 

That part hasn’t stopped. I wrote 1.4 million words of fic in the HP fandom (in 105 stories, many of which were much shorter than my current typical length). I’ve now written over 2 million words in the Sherlock fandom, and to this day, I experience that feeling every single time I post a new story. I wait around anxiously, biting my nails and waiting for the comments to start coming in (because I’m a writer lucky enough to be able to count on there being some feedback for sure, which I’m very much aware isn’t the reality for lots of people!), and waiting for the cautious confirmation that, in general, people don’t hate this one, either. 

Sometimes people tell me that I’m a nice person for thanking everyone who comments. I’m always bowled over by that! As I see it, it’s only polite to at least acknowledge it when someone has not only: a) read your fic, your precious work that you’ve sweated over and lain awake fretting over, polished to the best of your ability, re-worded and re-worked phrases for utmost impact, etc. They read it!! Amazing!!!! And then b) they took the time to comment on it, which is such a gift! And then c) they even liked it!!! Amazing! Miraculous!! Also, just speaking practically, when it’s my (precious/sweated over/re-worked/etc) fic, why wouldn’t *I*, of all people, want to talk about it??? But yeah. That surprised reaction of “oh, you liked it? OMG THANK YOU!!!” is genuine, every single bloody time. That anxiety just doesn’t go away. 

In fact, this was my 82nd story in the Sherlock fandom, since 2013. The anxiety has actually gotten worse. I’ll never forget the time when I stumbled across some forum where my (then) recently-posted story Right Hand Man came up in the discussion, and someone said that they thought I should “just stop writing already”, that I’d already written too much. I was so stung and hurt that I couldn’t write for three weeks following that. I remember thinking, jeez, no one said you had to read it! I’m just doing what lots of other people around here are doing: creating a thing out of our shared passion for this thing, and putting it out there for anyone who might want to partake. No one’s putting a gun to your head and making you read my fic, just because I posted YET ANOTHER BLOODY ONE OF THEM. Man! I mean, that’s all part of it, right? Over the years, I’ve gotten death threats (actual “I’m going to find you and kill you”: 6 now), candid invitations to kill myself, threats to expose me to my boss(es - joke’s on you; you’ll never know all the places I work!!), nasty comments left on stories - always anonymously, of course, because people like that are inevitably cowards - and every time one of those things happens, it sort of confirms that “oh God, I do actually suck and now it’s become obvious to everyone!” feeling. 

I don’t know why the anxiety was even higher than usual with this last one, The Bells of King’s College. Possibly because I made myself an incredibly complex case, with not one, but six murder cases, all of which needed to both connect with the killer and with some of the other cases, and then all of the dense, complicated, series 4-John Watson thoughts and feelings that needed sorting in this... But yeah, when I saw how much attention my post about having posted the fic last night was getting (200 notes now, omg!!), I went to bed just feeling endlessly worried, like always, that I can’t keep up my own reputation, that maybe my “luck” was good for 81 fics, but 82 is just asking too much of the universe, etc... but here I am, surprised and delighted once again that people seem to like this one so far! So, all of this long-winded spiel (it IS me, after all, lol!) is just to say how incredibly relieved I am, yet again, that people seem to a) still be excited that I’ve written yet another damned fic (lol!), and that b) so far the people who’ve read it seem to like it! You guys are just so amazing. You fill my life with joy and I’m so glad to still have this community, and people who actually read my stuff. *hugs you all*

I finally got in! I’ll still be hanging around here, but if you’re there, please join me!

When you see a girl walking down the street with a big smile, know she’s thinking about a fictional character banging the shit out of their best friend/archrival. And it’s so so SO gay.

I don’t wanna wake up anymore. I wish justin bieber was still here. see, him and I were close. real close. I’m the person that got feet pics from him on snapchat, and that started a little something something between us. he’d send me feet pics every 2.5 days on the dot. we even got so close that he decided to buy an apartment for us to share. but we didn’t really share it. I was always alone in it, and he’d come by every now and then to get me to suck his toes (which I didn’t mind). And it was kinda obvious that he never really washed them... but that’s okay; I like seasoning. but one day things changed.... one day he came in and instead of wearing his usual flip flops (for ease of access), he was wearing steel toed boots. weird, I thought. then I noticed he had a knife. he rushed me and stabbed me 47 times, and killed me (i’m still alive btw).

so now I lie here in this bed, waiting for him to come back to see me. but he never does. so all I do is lay here in pain while I bleed from my 47 stab wounds. my suffering is eternal (doom), and my heart is broken (and not just from stab wounds). but i still wait. and I’m still alive. i’m not dead. i’m still alive I swear. I’m not fucking dead. I swear i’m alive i’m alive i’m alive i’m not dead im not fukcing dead im still alive im not dead i mnot dead i malive alive im alive im still alive im not dead im not dead lim vufcking alive aeligaiu ma stil al iv e i m na ot dead aim  adileive i im no t dead i m fuck ing  al al ive a lalvaie alavalavlealivaie manot dead not dead not dead not dead not dead noet deand nto dnetantod nteentaodontaeont puta quepariu aim not dad acaralho porra im not deaed im a live i im l nala ievlalelieavlvivelavilea ma s que purra ee essa im laive i m alive im alive i m alive im alive i m alive im alive i m alive im alive i m alive im alive i m alive im alive i m alive im alive i m alive im alive i m alive im alive i m alive im alive i m alive im alive i m alive im alive i m alive im alive i m alive im alive i m alive im alive i m alive im alive i m alive im alive i m alive im alive i m alive im alive i m alive im alive i m alive im alive i m alive im alive i m alive im alive i m alive im alive i m alive im alive not dead I sweart im a live

*the police bust down the door and come inside. the door shatters into a million pieces and the debris fly out the room and hit sam and dean and slits their throats and they die* (john and sherlock are there too btw. but they survived. johnlock ftw)

john and sherlock at the exact same time: holy fuck! what the fuck is that! *they both puke all over my corpse and some of it gets in my mouth and it tasted kinda good (they had matar paneer before they came here)* quick! get docothr whop and the crimse scene invstigation people or whatever in here with their gadgets STAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*doctor who appears in his tardis* oh my god what the fuck is this shit holy fuck *he pukes all over my corpse and again soem of it gets in my mouth and I can taste tofurkey and maple syrup????? literally what the fuck is wrong with this bitch??* fuck no!!! i can’t do this shit!!!! im done!!!! *he pulls out his sonic screwdriver and kills himself*

sherlock and john at the same time: right. what is all of this then? (translated for people that don’t speak old english)

*the crime scene people bust down the door (a new one formed in the place of the one john and sherlock broke. it’s lore. you wouldn’t understand) and see my corpse (still alive btw)* holy fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *all 6 of them puke directly into my mouth at the same time like a fountain and I can taste every single thing they ate. Aloo gobi, pad see ew, white rice with cum, toast with tomato soup (LOLLLL CRINGE), jello with piss, turkey back lettus tomati sandwich soaked in grape juice, paneer soaked in jizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, tofu soaked in jizzzzzzzzzzzzzzz and human meat seasoned with beef flavoring. weird buit i don’t judge. I do judge but im not the judge. if you know what I mean. mother fuckers*.

the crime scene people: quick!!!!!! use the gadgets!!!!!!!! *they use the gadgets and immediately figure out my cause of death (im s till alive btw), and everything* “ok so this person was clearly in a foot relationship with justin bieber, but one day justin bieber decided to come in and kill them. some of their intestines are missing too? using our advanced gadgets we were able to locate exactly where justin bieber is too. he is currently in ontario canada. even though that’s another country we can still arrest him because he’s justin bieber, so we’re currently sending in a right wing paramilitary death squad on drones (they ride the drones like horses btw) to arrest him. wait a second his location changed!!! right now he’s in t-”

*justin bieber teleports into the room out of nowhere*

“um. what the fuck is going on here?”

the crime people or whatever: you’re under arrest stupib idiot! we’ll kill you mother fucker! die! *they start hitting him with their gadgets but they just deflect off his skin*

“GRRRRRRRRRRR. YOU’VE MADE ME ANGRY. YOU’RE INTRUDING ON MY PERSONAL PROPERTY, AND MOR IMPOERTANLTY MY FUCKING ETERNAL MEAL!!!!!!!!!!! AND NOW YOU’RE TRYING OT KILL ME! I’LL SHOT YOU IDIOTS WHTAA A REAL MURDER LOOKS LIKE!!!!!”

*he pulls out his 19th century spanish cavalry sabre and slices them all into a million pieces EACH*

“heh. stupid idiots. thought they could kill me. little do they know...... im a powerful demon from the 19th century. im not spanish tho. I just stoled this weapon off of one of their corpses after I killed him. *breathes heavily* ah. im so sexy and cool .my ass is so fat and my teeth are so sharp. *he comes over to my corpse (im still aliev) and slurps another one of my intestines down like a meatball* yum yum in my tum. time to deal with that right wing paramilitary death squad heading towards my home in ontario canada!” *he teleports away*

(im lying in the bed as a corpse)

wow

(i’m still alive btw)

And then I’ll take a nap. X-D

I hope y’all have a safe week and weekend. <3

Cheers,

Vulpes

Field Day

it’s hilarious YOU are beating people over the head with “ACCEPT CANON!!!1!” moftiss has said how many times now that sherlock & john are not in love?? yet your opinions are universal truth & no one can throw canon in YOUR face? got it. you don’t want shit on? DON’T SHIT ON OTHERS. let people enjoy what they enjoy & *interpret what they interpret* like you so obviously do ffs… also it’s disgusting you’ve reduced a female character to nothing but a catalyst for your shipper goggles™. sexism ftw!

What the actual hell are you talking about, Anon?

Please, show me exactly where I stated any of this anywhere, with quotes and links to posts that I have made. There’s over 10,000 of them, so have at it.

I have NEVER ONCE DEMANDED someone “ACCEPT MY CANON” NOR have I EVER reduced a character down to anything other than what the narrative demands of them. I’m sorry, but that’s how fiction works. 

I think you have me mixed up with someone else, and I’ve about 2000+ people who would agree with me that I have never ONCE demanded someone see my point of view. I ALWAYS precede my arguments with “I don’t care if you agree or disagree with me, this is just my thoughts, and you can take it or leave it”. Last time I checked, this was MY blog, and… yep, my opinions.

 I am genuinely worried about you Anon. Please, if ship hate is what you need to do to feel better about yourself, then I think you need to get off Tumblr for a bit. Please, take care of yourself, you are worth so much more than this anger you feel I deserve. I’m sorry you have so much hatred in your heart. I know the winter months are long and depressing, and bullies only ever bully if they themselves are being bullied. So please, I recommend talking to someone about why you feel so angry. You don’t deserve to be so upset over a FICTIONAL SHIP THAT HAS NO EFFECT WHATSOEVER ON YOUR EVERY DAY LIFE.

I wish you only the best. Good night.

EDIT: I feel like you never actually read a single one of my blog posts, and just sent this to someone with “Johnlock” in their blog name. 

That said, if you want to believe John and Sherlock are straight, then shouldn’t I be allowed to believe they’re gay? You’re being rather hypocritical in your response, Anon.

Y'know how in "in a heartbeat" the cute boys are called Sherwin and Jonathan. Like. SHERwin. SHERlock. JOnathan. JOhn??????? COINCIDENCE????????? I DONT THINK SO!!!!!! JOHNLOCK AU FTW
