Rumple related question: Where do you fall on the leather pants vs suit and tie question. Obviously both are good, but if you had to choose just one?
Oh that is an impossible choice! I fell in love with the leather pants first, but damn can the man wear a suit.
I think I have to go suit, honestly. I mean...
But then again...
But a rebuttal...
I gotta go suit.

You should let it slip that you're triggered by Rumbelle smooches. Haters and antis will fill your inbox with terrifying librarian/wizard content
HAHAHA! I love that idea.
Not sexy Rumbelle pics! AUGH! They burn! Don’t throw me into that briar patch!

Twenty Questions for Fic Writers
I was tagged by @kelyon
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
89
2. What's your total AO3 word count?
1,451,688 (Whoa!)
3. What fandoms do you write for?
The Mummy Franchise
UC: Undercover
Sleeper Cell (TV)
Stargate: Atlantis
Tolkien
Halt and Catch Fire
Star Trek: Discovery
Once Upon A Time
Stargate: Universe
Cobra (TV)
Stranger Things
Foundation (TV)
Those are the ones that are kind of... in their own right, but with a few crossovers there are other fandoms too. You can ask me about those if you like.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
The Library Beneath the Clock Tower
Laer o Faen
Beauty Compelled
Disparate Pathways
Bluebell
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I always do, though I am currently woefully behind. (I hope to remedy that today). I believe reader/write engagement is a gift, and one to be encouraged and celebrated.
6. What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
OMG... Angstiest.... um... I try not to end with angst. I fill the body of a fic with angst, or start a fic with lots and lots of angst, but ending...? I don't know. Maybe someone can tell me?
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
I think that's subjective, honestly, because I think they're all pretty happy in the end, but the degree to which the fic makes a reader feel happy is dependent on how the reader feels about the characters, I guess. As a writer, and I suppose because it's the most recently finished, I'd probably say, Disparate Pathways.
Of course, both of the above questions rely on fics being finished before judgements are made, and I have so many WIPs...
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Not here, nor on AO3. Way back when... I got a little bit of hate on 'the site that shall not be named' - but it smacked of jealousy, so... I dunno. I've since deleted everything from there in any case. Moved it all elsewhere.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
I do, yes, but I like to think it's never gratuitous. It's all couched within the the progression of the fic, and usually heavily romance driven.
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
I never used to write crossovers. For me there needs to be an internal consistency and reason for bringing characters from one work into another, and a good reason at that... and then I started Rumbelling things... and then @peacehopeandrats challenged me to write a particular fic, and this is a multi-source crossover, including: Cobra, UC: Undercover, Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Miami Medical, 24 (TV), and Airforce One is Down, in the one fic.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
To my knowledge, not a whole fic, no, but someone once stole a concept and /part/ of a fic I'd written (on the aforementioned never to be named site). I was told about it by someone who was a reader of my fic. The person denied their wrongdoing, but eventually - after much calling out - removed the offending fic.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Not to my knowledge.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
I have, yes. Forbidden Loves and Stormy Nights was written with a whole lot of people whom I consider great friends, (@peacehopeandrats, @jackabelle73, @reolf @blueboxesanddeerstalkers, and @shadowedoracle for another beautiful friend @deliriumsdelight7 on the occasion of her birthday.
14. What's your all-time favorite ship?
There are two, and I can't separate them. There are several similarities in the overall nature of the ships: Rumbelle, and Michael/Teyla.
15. What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
Laer o Faen, and I don't necessarily doubt that I ever will, it's just there's such a lot to write... you know?
16. What are your writing strengths?
I think it's in my worldbuilding and descriptive language.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
I can often be very wordy. I don't know how to write short fics.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
Language and dialect both, yes. My most ambitious is the Sindarin in Laer o Faen.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
If you don't count Blake's Seven, which I wrote for when I was 11, then it would be The Mummy franchise.
20. Favorite fic you've written?
Oh, come on. That's like asking a parent to name their favorite child. I am very fond of Disparate Pathways, though, as well as Library...
Thank you, this was though provoking (and eye opening) I tag whoever is left that hasn't already done it and wants to.

So. How are you coping with AO3 being down?
Well, ashamed to admit it, but I didn't even notice until my daughter asked me yesterday: "So, did you see that AO3's down?"
I was shocked. Then angry.
Now I'm crossing all my thumbs and toes for them. A world without AO3 is no place to live.
#kelyon#my heart can't handle a world without AO3#my ignorance is a consequence of my near total sm ban#the constant chatter kills my brain#and I have to protect my remaining five brain cells#I need them

Now that the trailer is out for The Full Monty series, what are your thoughts? Do you have hopes? Expectations? What's your opinion of the original movie?
The first movie was a lot of fun, which I don't think was what I was expecting when I first watched it. The trailer for the new one is giving off the same vibe, so I'm hoping for more of the same. Like there can be serious stuff going on in the movie but overall handled with a light and enjoyable tone. I am just so sick of everything I want to watch being on a different streaming site that you have to subscribe to, though. *Deep sigh*

TMI Tuesday question: You're given a month off from work/school/routine daily obligation. Your financial status stays the same as it would be otherwise, but you have a buttload of free time. What are you going to do with it?
I'm going to skip over all the boring things I know I should do around the house and assume for the nature of this ask that they're all filed under 'daily obligations' and I'm completely free to do anything I want without feeling guilty.
My first thought is to play Tears of the Kingdom for hours and hours. There's so much to do in that game, I could get lost in the world of Hyrule for days! I don't think I could spend the whole month doing that though, so maybe binge watch some things as well. I keep meaning to do a rewatch of The Nanny. Then there's fic, of course. I could read so much, maybe even try to get back into writing some of my own.
And I'd love to go visit places. Take day trips on the train, down to the coast or to London. Take my camera and try to get some nice pictures, improve my photography skills. Just relax and enjoy myself without worrying about all the things I still have to do.
#thanks for the ask#it really made me think#i should try to do these things anyway#tmi tuesday#kelyon

TMI Tuesday question: What are your writerly ambitions? Do you want to write original fiction? Publish a novel or short story? With fanfic, is there anything you would do if the circumstances were right, but they aren't yet? Any fandoms/tropes/formats that you want to try? Or is just finishing something a daunting enough task?
You know, I used to really want to publish a novel. These days...idk. I self-published a few things a few years back, but getting things edited to that standard just isn't where I get my joy. Right now I've been enjoying writing my Dorym fics. It's a nice, small fandom where I've made a lot of friends and so there's not a lot of pressure. Nobody sends me angry asks anymore about my creative choices, it's just relaxing and low key.
156 fics into my AO3 account, I don't think there's a lot of tropes or formats I haven't really experimented with. I'd really like to write another fanfic novel, though. I did Kiss Me and Smile For Me in May/June but it only hit about 86k (91k if you count the erotic interlude) and I'd like to do another 150k+ one. It's been awhile since I did something super long.
I do have a fic coming out on Wednesday, though, so that'll be cool.

A TMI Tuesday question! I don’t think I’ve ever gotten one of those! Thanks!
Anyway, I have no writerly ambitions at the moment. Previously to writing my few Rumbelle stories, I’d never written anything at all. But their story was just so impressive that I couldn’t stop thinking about it, and I had to write something. I’d love to write again, but I haven’t been inspired to do so. It’s like I had a burst of literary creativity and then it ended. I had thought of Rumbelling “Jane Eyre” but that is far too daunting a task!

Are there any fandoms/ships that you support in general but don't really consume or create fanworks for? Any particular reason why? What, if anything, might inspire you to start?
Hey! Did you mean to send this to me? I’ve not reblogged an ask meme in ages. It’s no matter as I love questions and I love rambling heh, so I am going to answer anyway. So thanks for sending it even if it was accidental ❤️
The question confuses me a little bit as I support fandom as a general concept. Go forth, be happy with what you love, you know? I have watched and read lots of things, so so many, and I have produced fanworks for comparatively few. But when it comes to support… as I said I don’t really understand. There are things I like obviously that I am not drawn to create for. But support feels like it implies more interaction than just “I like the thing”. But if I interact then that’s creation?
I get a feeling I am misunderstanding this.
I have a handful of NoTPs but even with those I respect that people like them. I don’t want to see it because it is the opposite of sparking joy. But if it sparks joy for someone else then good for them. So that goes back to my general support for fandom.
To be honest these days I’m not consuming many fanworks at all. I have a stack of fanfics I need to read and I haven’t got round to it. I want to shower love on them but I have been so tired and stressed. I reblog art on tumblr, and try and say nice things, but that’s about it right now.
As for what inspires me to create. Love is always at its core. Some spark that is just magnetic. I wasn’t initially drawn to creating for The Librarians because I was happy with it but then I discovered prompt month. The more I thought about it, the more questions I had, and then I wanted to fill in some missing pieces. Frustration and spite is a good motivator, a need to fix things. Most of my ships aren’t canon so I give them the happy ending that doesn’t otherwise exist. The final piece is whatever idea I want to make manifest, the desire to draw/write in itself. Sometimes I want to make art, I want to get my markers or pencils or paint out etc. I want the image in my head to be realised.
I’m not sure if that answers your question or not. If you wanted to know about support for a specific fandom or ship please say :) or if you wondered if I would create for something specific.

TMI Tuesday question based on current events: Have you ever met one of the celebrities of your fandom (actor/writer/creator)? How did it go? Did it have any effect on your fannish-ness? If you haven't, who would you want to meet?
I have! I met the whole cast of OUAT (briefly) along with Adam and Eddy at SDCC one year. It was nerve wracking and exciting especially to meet Emilie and Bobby. I don't know if it had any effect on my fannishness. They're super cute in person so I think it probably just made me like them more. I was caught unaware by Josh Dallas who was so strikingly beautiful in person it made me babble a bit. I think I even told him he was very attractive in person. His wife was there, my husband was there. Sometimes you just say things. I also asked Adam and Eddy to please give us one episode of Rumbelle happiness where they don't break up and they said they would and it would be all for me when it happened, so you guys are all welcome for "Beauty". ;-)
I also had the very great privilege to see Alan Rickman in the flesh years ago in NYC and that was pretty amazing. Especially since he's now gone.
As for people I'd like to meet, I don't know. Brett Goldstein?

Stali, Barbgrove, Hellcheer, whatever Mike and El are, whatever Max and Lucas are, both Stancy and Jancy... Is there a ship in Stranger Things where the girl DOESN'T peg the guy??
(oh, maybe Suzy and Dustin, because she would think it's a sin. But spiritually, she pegs him. For sure.)
You make valid points, my friend. Incredibly valid points.
“Spiritually she pegs him” 🤣

TMI Tuesday question: You're given a month off from work/school/routine daily obligation. Your financial status stays the same as it would be otherwise, but you have a buttload of free time. What are you going to do with it?
Thank you for the ask. Wow... buttload of free time. Lets see...
I would spend some time going places with my loved ones. Some hiking, visiting some historic sites...
Write, for sure. Probably sit outside and write. I'm outside at the moment as I'm typing this, sitting here with my pet rat, Mr Burrows.
I would also crochet. I have a mosaic blanket that I'm working on, and I'd like to get it done.
I love the technique, and plan to use it to make some other works in the future. Make my own patterns.
And I'd read. I miss reading. It's summer time and I'm reading a real book, and enjoying it so much.
Thanks for the ask. Throwing it back to you too. What would you do?

TMI Tuesday question based on current events: Have you ever met one of the celebrities of your fandom (actor/writer/creator)? How did it go? Did it have any effect on your fannish-ness? If you haven't, who would you want to meet?
Met as in having the courage to go up and talk to them, even when it was in a convention space when that's what they were there for? Hell no, I'm way too introverted for that, and would have no idea what to say. I'm happy to observe other people. And I did get a chance to go to a con for my first fandom, Robin of Sherwood, and watch and listen to them (both actors and the creator/headwriter of the show) doing Q & A panels and telling stories and interacting with other fans, and they were all extremely nice and appreciative of their fans. It was a great experience and made me not only a fan of the series, but the people who had made it.
As for wanting to meet anyone else, no. I'm not interested in getting photos with a celebrity, or an autograph from them, and there's nothing I want to say to anyone, or ask them. I'm happy watching recorded interviews and stuff like that.
