Get to Know Me Tag :)

I was tagged by @telomeke in their post here. Thanks for the tag! 🥰

do you make your bed?

Yes. To be fair though, I am not a messy sleeper 😅. Let's just say that, in less than a minute, I can make the bed I slept in look like it hadn't been slept in lol 🤣🤣🤣

what's your favourite number?

I was born on the 9th day of the 9th month. Imagine how obnoxious I was back in '99 lol. 😁

what is your job?

Let's just say I'm fortunate enough to have an occupation that lets me do experiments, mix nefarious things, obtain spectacular (fail) results, and get paid while I'm at it 😅

if you could go back to school, would you?

I often describe myself as an infinite learner. So, while it's true that I can learn things outside of uni, there are still some things that I want to comprehend in an academic setting. I mean, how else can I get my hands on a Scanning Electron Microscope, spectrophotometer, and the like?? 😅

can you parallel park?

Yes. Curiously, my parallel park is better than my reverse parking lol.

a job you had that would surprise people?

Not a job, but most people are surprised when I tell them that I used to be a competitive cheerleader/dancer 😅😅😅 Apparently, I don't look "perky" enough lol. Another thing that also surprises other people is when I tell them I used to do theatre and even played the Virgin Mary in a school play back in high school. Again, my resting bitch face is working against me 🤣🤣🤣

do you think aliens are real?

I'll believe when there is definitive proof that there are. And before I get dragged into the mud, the same goes with religious stuff. I might have played the role of the Virgin Mary in a school theatre, but I am agnostic, at best lol.

can you drive a manual car?

Yes. I actually prefer driving manual cars to automatic because I tend to get bored easily and shifting gears helps me focus lol.

what's your guilty pleasure?

I usually drink unlimited amounts of long black coffee during the day and drink beer mixed with vodka before bedtime. But I will prolly live happily ever after if somebody gives me unlimited access to some tasty chicken nuggets lol

tattoos?

I would want some but I don't like needles lol

favorite color?

I like reds, yellows, and blues.

favorite type of music?

Depends on my mood. There are times I like heavy metal. Other times I would prefer classical music. However, I do like The Beatles so their music is always somewhere in my Spotify playlists.

do you like puzzles?

Yes. I used to do cryptograms and logic puzzles while commuting to my uni.

any phobias?

Does fear itself count? 😅 No, the worst that I feel is anxiety. However, I could always convince myself to face whatever it is that is giving me anxiety. For example, I might not like needles, but I can still get my vaccination with little fuss lol.

favorite childhood sport?

Running. I just like getting from one place to another as fast as my legs could carry.

do you talk to yourself?

If I am alone, yes. I even address myself in the third person 😅

what movies do you adore?

I listed some of my faves in a different tag game here.

coffee or tea?

Definitely coffee but my GP is on my ass for having low blood pressure so I am slowly migrating to green tea 😅 😅 😅

first thing you wanted to be growing up?

Pretty sure I wanted to be a librarian because (1) I'll be surrounded by books, (2) I will be able to hear myself think since libraries are quiet, and (3) it's almost guaranteed that I will be (mostly) left alone 😅 😅 😅

Whew. Tagging @dribs-and-drabbles, @lost-my-sanity1, @imlivingformyselfdontmindme, @waitmyturtles and everybody who sees this and wants to play this game 😊

I'm so confused by peoples posts today.

Can you do a simple recap of wtf is going on? lol

I've managed to confuse myself a bit too tbh 😅 I think the main thing is that anons mentioned zumpie & rachel were dissing Jack again - firstly claiming he didn't actually graduate, based entirely on zumpie's desire for that to be the case. Rachel Confirmed this -- with literally no evidence -- and then randomly pivoted to talking about someone claiming Jack had slept with (or been in a relationship with?) her roommate and then ghosted and gaslit her.

Despite the fact that Rachel's evidence was literally a single tweet, which she couldn't even produce, zumpsteak immediately wet herself with glee, because apparently this proves that Jack is "evvolll" and everything people claim Cole is. As if cheating/ghosting comes close to what we know about Cole.

So people were talking about that. I think i confused things more in an attempt to try to help make things clearer (very on-brand) as i knew the tweet Rachel was talking about. But to summarise, basically zump &c are, as ever, straw-clutching morons.

While this was going on, i think various people were still getting the previous troll anons re Jack allegedly being a fuckboy because apparently he was all over a noted Hollywood blonde (who hardly anyone's actually heard of) a few months before meeting Lili. And also the Deux Moi "we matched on Raya!" thing came up again. And maybe the "Lili didn't like the pic he was tagged in" thing too.

In conclusion: Cole's as gross as he looks, zumpie's still as desperate as ever, Jack still seems great despite the myriad trolls' best efforts, and he and Lili remain adorable.

Sorry, that's quite long for a recap .. and i've just seen you requested simple 🤣

Danni, thinking time!: 🌿💝✨

Ephie!!!! 😘

🌿how does creating make you feel?

Answered here! But TL;DR: empowered and fulfilled!

💝what is a fic that got a different response than you were expecting?

Oh gosh! It's all such a blur. Generally I try to keep my expectations low so often it's me not expecting things to have done well. Like Orange Blossoms!! I was so pleasantly surprised, since it was something I'd just written for myself as a birthday gift, and it was fun! And it got much more love than I anticipated! Then Collateral Damage...I don't know what I expected, but I wrote it for Ron-Draco Fest in 2021. I was new to fests. New to writing Dron. And I was absolutely blown away by how much love that fic got!

But the one that really sticks with me is Safe and all the shock and horror it got. The initial wave I sorta saw. "I thought I tagged everything, but this part was pretty subtle, so I guess I see it, let me add some extra warnings." But it still got heat from people. I can't tell you the number of times I edited that work, adding more tags and warnings to the A/N and summary, etc. Only when I finally threw "dead dove" on it did it stop, though I can't be sure if it was the dead dove tag or the fact that so much time had passed.

At the end of the day, that story did what I wanted it to do. It was meant to be intense. I wanted people to be impacted by it. To feel that fear and uncertainty. It was designed for maximum impact, so go me? (I really do need thicker skin for a lady so hellbent on tormenting her readers, though 😅)

✨What's a fic you've posted you wish you could breathe life into again and have people talking about it? (or simply a fic you wish got more credit)

My truest answer I'll save for last cuz it's embarrassing and I hope people will have tuned out by then...🤣

Sorted related to the previous question, but White Lies and Silver Bells. That's one of few that I didn't manage expectations so well on and sorta hoped would perform better than it actually did. In fairness, the LJ community was very sweet while Hoggywartyxmas was posting, but idk, I think I had been looking forward to sharing it to AO3 so much and it got a more lackluster response. Which is sad cuz I'm quite fond of that one! I finally wrote the foot fetish Snarry I'd been long dreaming of!! Anyway that feels really crummy to admit to, but it is what it is!

Black Skies probably did as well as could be expected, but gosh I was (and still am!) so proud of that one!! That was posted for Blackcest Fest last year. Then Romantic Notions!!!! I really need someone to enjoy the plant porn with me, geez. Where are all my horny kinky friends at???? Teardrop in Your Palm...that's one I couldn't expect to do well, but man oh man do I love that fic!!!!! And Close Enough!! That one actually hurts my feelings a bit 😂 I breathed life into a dear headcanon and yet...so little appreciation! Though to be fair the appreciation it has gotten more than makes up for it!

But truly, the first thing that came to mind...if I could breathe new life into a fic, or more...stir up chat about it anew. As truly dumb as this sounds, it would be Contempt. You know...the fic I never shut up about? The fic that astronomically outperformed all of my wildest hopes and dreams?? Yeah, that's the one. But truly, it is my dearest story. Can I really be blamed for wanting it to have more love???? Probably, but oh well. I'm just so in love with it and obsessed with it myself and it haunts my mind often enough and I don't think I'll ever tire of hearing about it! Though everyone else probably is haaaaa.

My entry for SangCheng Week 2022 - Day 5 - Hostility. I'm a day late. 😅

This is kind of a spin-off idea of the Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries AU that lives in my head. I tried for the Phryne Fisher/Jack Robinson sexual tension, but I'm afraid I didn't quite get there.

I’m seeing this vast campaign against a single person who’s up for elections on AO3. Ok I get, people are worried.

What I find concerning however is that these posts contain screenshots of allegations other random people on the internet make - but not actual information or quotes from the person concerned.

This is Trump-like “lots of people say that” methods and you should be ashamed about sharing something like that.

When my lady walks into the room The lights come on to her sweet perfume I didn't know the devils by her side There I stood I had nothing to hide

My love could teach the blind to see My love's the wildest mystery My love said she'd be the one Now I know

Baby you're a liar You're a liar

I wasn't watching for the danger signs And I never read between the lines She says c'mon boy can you do your thing So I turned around still wondering

When my love dances she makes me cry My love dances with me tonight My love said she's be the one But now I know

Baby you're a liar Oh you're a liar A liar But I'm still burning with desire

With the look of a panther I got lost in the jungle No I can't help myself again I can't help myself Baby you're a liar

My love could teach the blind to see My love's the wildest mystery My love said she'd be the one Now I know

Baby you're a liar Oh yeah you're a liar A liar I'm burning with desire

Oh baby you're a liar Oh baby you're a liar (you're a liar) Oh baby you're a liar (you've bin known to veer from the truth) Lies You're a liar You're telling me lies Baby you're a liar Lies I'm burning with desire Lies Baby you're a liar

Meine #1 des Jahres 2022

During the Sunshot Campaign one night Jiang Cheng breaks down in the security of the camps in Qinghe. Not in front of his sister - in front of Nie Huaisang. It was just supposed to be a harmless get-together, just some drinks.

But the last battle didn't go well. Jiang Cheng survived, too many others died. And it's just too much. He cries. He failed them. He failed a lot of people. He doesn't know what he's doing. People die because he couldn't protect them. He wants his mother back. He wants his father back. He wants Wei Wuxian back. He's alone. He can't do this anymore. He's a failure. He cries, ugly cries. A lot. And Nie Huaisang does't really know how to deal with it, so he's just kinda awkwardly there.

They never talk about it, never mention it again. But their relationship slightly changed.

2021 Fic Year In Review

i was tagged by @rhyslahey, @inell, AND @luulapants so i guess i gotta do the thing now alkjdfg 😂

Total number of completed works: 32, which is more than i thought tbh, but it’s mostly been because of the stiles shipping central discord server’s monthly ficlet exchange, soooo thanks for keeping me going when i otherwise had no motivation whatsoever.

Total word count: once i get the ficlet i’m working on now posted, it’ll be about 53k for the year. which.....is decent, i suppose. but i fall into the trap of comparing myself to my previous self, aaaaand it’s by FAR the least i’ve written annually since i started writing fic again after high school. like, almost 1/5 of my most prolific years. trying to remind myself consistently that it’s okay and even good to have periods of rest and lowered productivity, especially under the circumstances. my brain juice will return from the war eventually probably.

Fandoms written in: Teen Wolf and Merlin, which yeah it was kind of nice to foray briefly back into the latter!! hadn’t written for Merlin in a long time.

Looking back, did you write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you’d expected? my expectations for the year were pretty low, i think, after last year was also an extremely unproductive year and i wasn’t feeling much better about things. so, like, i wish i’d written more, but i’m also glad that i wrote anything cuz that was not guaranteed 😬😭😅

What’s your own favorite story of the year? honestly, none of the ones i’ve written this year stand out to me very much..... scanning through the list and it’s taking me EFFORT to even remember what some of them ARE, adlfkh. i guess if i had to pick one, i might say If We Exiled Our Sins?? i originated a pairing tag, first one to write it, and that’s pretty exciting lol. i think i like that fic a lot.

Did you take any writing risks this year? besides writing that pairing ^? not really, i don’t think. everything was pretty chill, low effort and low engagement, short and easy.

Do you have any fanfic or profic goals for the new year? write more, get my mojo back. try and write something longer than 7k. maybe even a multichap. i miss being able to write long stories 😭

Most popular story of the year? by hits, A Kiss To Remember (Merthur). by kudos, Reach Out, In Reach (Sterek). by bookmarks and comments, Love Is Blind And So Is Stiles (Sterek). by subscriptions, Kids, They Say (Stiles & puppy pack), which surprises and amuses me.

Story of mine most under-appreciated by the universe, in my opinion: Things I Learned In The Storm maybe??? an Erica character study thing, which i quite liked but which got very little response.

Most fun story to write: Love In The Age Of Sustainable Gardening Practices (Steter) was quite fun 😂

Most unintentionally telling story: uuuhhhh, i don’t think i projected much on any of my stories this year?? there wasn’t much substance to most of them, and 95% of them were based on prompts/requests from others, so they weren’t just things i felt compelled to put out there.

Biggest disappointment: i posted a couple of fics that were gifts for people who didn’t respond to them literally at all......so. that was fun. wonder if they read them......

Biggest surprise: talking myself into accidentally genuinely shipping Laura/Noshiko 🤣

tagging: ......i can’t think of any writers whom i haven’t seen already get tagged aldkfjghadfg rip

i'm anon who wrote their first longfic, and yes it's not in english you got that right.

first, thank you for your kind words???? i didn't expect that at all. I don't think myself as disciplined... i just got really obsessed with the story, it was too alive in my head.

i see what you mean, 90k is a pretty big fic, but don't think i got a lot a feedback in my oneshots 🙃 maybe that is the reason my hopes where too high this this story.

i will post my work on other platform any time soon, although i'm not fond of it. i also thought about translating the whole thing to english next year (i will have more time then to do it properly)

i became really close with my beta, although we started working together when i already finished the story, we did the whole editing process together and she hold my hand until the last minute of posting the fic. she saved my life lmfao. And she says 1: i need to be patient (as you also said) the fic dropped not that long ago. 2: government conspiracy can be a triggering plot, you know: bombing, missing persons, extortion (and i am transparent with my tagging) that's not everyone cup of tea, i get it.

the part you didn't understand: yes, i feel the mods are used to the same people participating in this fest every year, and i didn't feel welcomed at all. Again, maybe it's just my insecurity talking.

thank you, again, for you encouraging words and for running this blog! 😘

You're welcome, Anon! (Anon's original ask)

As for getting obsessed... welcome to the brainrot 🤣 I have also recently (i.e. 5 months+ at this point) gotten said brainrot and may or may not also have a WIP sitting in my drafts that just passed the 90k mark 😅 I'm glad you were able to create something so amazing!

Ah yes... hope is a double edge sword... 🙃 I'm sorry it's been a let down. Good luck on posting! And to your future plans on translating your fic. No matter the outcome, you did good, Anon :)

Oh! I'm glad to hear that your beta is so supportive! Waiting can be nerve wracking, and ooh yeah... the plot and subject matter in your fic may not be everyone's cup of tea indeed, and that does not help with the range of people you can reach as an audience. I cannot stress enough that writing and publicizing/marketing your work are two different things that require two different skillsets. Hopefully, you'll at least learn where your skills, efforts, and limits are and be better able to set expectations for yourself ❤

Ah, I see about the mods... I'm sorry. That is incredibly discouraging. If you feel like you cannot talk to the mods involved to change this, or that even after talking, nothing has changed, it may be better to cut your losses and move on. In the end, you need to do what is best for you. And life is too short to let strangers on the internet make you unhappy.

You're welcome and take care, Anon! I'm cheering for you on your writing journey, wherever that may lead :)
