For the writing ask. 1 - 40 😜

ಠ_ಠ; (affectionate) (full questions here!)

Which of your fics would you keep the basic plot of but rewrite completely?

My longest published fic to date, In The Name of Love. I started it when I was younger and my writing style has changed so much that it’s so hard to tack on a new chapter and continue writing it. Also, there’s been so much development in Disco characters since I first started it that there are some things I would change completely.

Anything that you'd like to write but feel like you're unable to?

If I could write smut, I’d be a self-sustaining system. Unfortunately, I’m too shy to be able to do it without looking away every 2 seconds. (yay repression and compulsory modesty!)

I’d also love to do some angst or hurt/comfort on Raffi and Seven’s journey with loss, especially after Elnor, but it hits very close to home to me right now so I am physically incapable of writing it. Which is frustrating, but eh.

How would you describe your writing style?

I had a huge Tolkien phase over quarantine, so a lot of my writing uses very flowery, romantic, scenic description. I try to match the tone of the media of whatever story I’m telling, so for my Tolkien fics, it has a children’s storybook vibe and maybe some archaic language as well, whereas for my Trek fics, I keep it more modern and almost snappy, per se.

Do you have any OCs? Do you have a story for them?

Nope! I work with what already exists.

What's a tag you never want to use for your works even when it applies?

To be honest, if it applies, I’m slapping it on there. If it helps people find my work, I’m not complaining.

What's your ratio for rating your works?

I feel bad for saying that I do have a ratio because it’s completely arbitrary, but... 1:10, kudos to views.

Your favourite ao3 tag.

Hurt/Comfort. ‘nuff said.

How slow is a slow burn?

I’ve had IRL friends who slow burn so slow that the oven isn’t even on, so. If they make it through 2 full-volume 300k fics and haven’t openly hinted their affection to one another, yeah, that’s kinda slow.

Thoughts on cliffhangers.

As a rule I generally don’t do cliffhangers as a writer unless I have the next chapter planned and/or ready to go, just so I wouldn’t end anything on one. I don’t like them that much, but I do use them now and then for the drama.

On the topic of cliffhangers... the rest of the questions are under the break!

Top three favourite fic tropes.

Oh, oh oh! Taking care of one another when they’re injured/unwell. (Bonus points if they catch it from one another.) Putting jackets on one another when they’re asleep/cold. Black tie/gala scenarios. (Evidently.)

Three tropes that are fine but overrated.

Enemies to Lovers, tbh. coffee shop/tattoo artist AUs. Soulmates. (sorry)

If you write in more than one language, what's the difference?

Chinese says a lot more in fewer words, so I would say between my lack of fluency in Chinese and the style itself, my writing style is more curt. (Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, since my English sentences could span on and on.)

Rate your worldbuilding skills from 1 to 10.

I’d say about 7 or 8. I definitely try to have an outline of what happens outside of the fic, where they’ve come from, where they’re going to, what the setting looks like, what emotions they’re bringing into the scene. (Believe me, there’s lots of chaotic sketches in my book because I can’t draw it properly.) I’d say part of it comes from my training in theatre where you absolutely need to build a solid world for behind what happens onstage.

Write and share the first sentence of a new fic. Just that.

“Not everyone had the punctuality of a high-ranking Starfleet officer.“

What's your favourite plotless fic you have written?

A Late Night Snack, which was my first Seven x Raffi fic, actually! It’s just the two of them sharing lollipops. Something about my writing style in that fic hits really right with me still to this day, so *gives past me a pat on the back*.

Are one-shots really underrated?

I almost exclusively write one-shots, so no, they’re not! They’re great for workshopping a certain scene or moment that exists outside of a continuous canon. For me, it’s almost like painting a picture with words - one moment that exists within a canvas of a one-shot.

Past or present tense? Why?

In my past, I was a past tense girl, but I’m presently inclined towards present tense (sorry). Present tense makes a scene so much more intimate because it feels like it’s unfolding right before your eyes and it makes the characters’ choices their own, not something you’re recounting for them.

First, second, or third person?

Third person all the way. (Sorry.)

Share a snippet from a wip without giving any context for it.

““You and Seven can take the eggs or whatever,” Raffi said, turning back to Agnes. “I’ll just use my hands. They exist for a reason, you know.””

Do you work on a single project or many at the same time? How does that work for you?

I think I write one fic at a time, maybe two at most, but I definitely have more ideas swirling around in my head like alphabet soup until it’s time for me to spoon it out and work with it. Fun fac

Can you accurately predict how long your fics are going to be? If you can, what's your secret?

For my one-shots, it’s been ~2500-3500 words for a good while now, so that’s my prediction, per se. I roughly aim for a chapter length, but mostly I try to write what needs saying and call it a day.

What is it about watching the same two idiots falling in love over and over again?

It’s like looking at old photographs of people who were very, very in love and retracing all the steps they’ve been through to get to where they are today.

Dialogue or description? Why is the other one so hard?

For someone who writes a lot of description, I actually prefer dialogue. Dialogue basically writes itself when you know the characters, whereas description takes a lot of Thought and Brain Cells, which I don’t have. Once again, I may have to attribute this to me reading more scripts than books in my life.

Thoughts on flashbacks/flashforwards.

I don’t mind fics having scattered timelines and back-and-forth between the past and present as long as they’re in separate, contained scenes/chapters, but I don’t like explicitly flashing a character back in the middle of a scene when they’re in the present (or vice versa).

Is writing the whole thing beforehand better or worse than writing it as you go?

I usually have a good overarching outline/plan before I jump into a full-length fic, then I deviate if I want to. I would definitely not like writing something as I go, because I tend to go off on a lot of random tangents or cling onto plot points I’ve randomly discovered that makes the ending so far removed from what I actually started out with.

What would you describe as OOC?

anything that doesn’t fit in with my hyperspecific interpretation of one character

No, kidding. Probably when actions or dialogue happens that I feel like would not come from the character according to how I understand them. How I understand a character is usually a mix of canon, my personal headcanons, and what I like from other peoples’ headcanons.

Do you agree that one shouldn't start a story with a piece of dialogue?

For me, writing is less about following the rules and more about finding something that sits right with your story, your flow, and your style. If it’s effective for you and for your audience, there’s no problem with starting your story with dialogue, or starting your sentences with “and”, or whatever.

Any writing advice that works for you and you feel like sharing?

I write my first drafts in a notebook. And when I say drafts, I mean drafts – barely-formed sentence structures, tons of *insert x here*. The need to type up my fic from pen and paper forces me to edit it at least once.

What's the hardest thing about writing?

Finding the vision/inspiration. I go through so many periods of drought when the media I follow doesn’t have new content/if I’m off tumblr because I don’t have anything to interact with. I’m almost like a parasite in terms of creativity – if you put me in a void, I probably can’t come up with something alone.

Describe a fic that almost happened, but then it didn't.

I had a Bagginshield mistaken identity fic – basically, Character A pours out their feelings about Character B to someone they thought was Character C, only for them to reveal themselves as Character B. I have it written, I just never published it.

What was the most difficult fic for you to write (but in the end you made it)?

Recently, probably I Hate Your Heroic Love, because there were so many different ways to capture the idea I had in my head (and I had many, many iterations that spun into completely different directions).

Do you have a word/expression that you always use in your writing?

If I’m writing Saffi, you know there’s going to be strawberries.

Give your writing a compliment.

no.

Do you write to improve? Or is that not a concern for you?

I try to write the fics that I want to read, that’s it. For me, writing is less of a motor skill that you can improve by doing it over and over again, so I don’t write for the sake of improving, per se.

Thoughts on writing challenges/contests.

Wish I could do one, but every time I come across one of those blogs or posts the deadline as long gone.

How do you come up with fic titles? What's the one you're most proud of?

Honestly? Pure vibes. I look at the fic and it usually gives itself a name for me. I don’t have any I’m super proud of, but the two that really tells the story for me are Black, Silver, Grey (Bagginshield) and Sunsets and Strawberries (Saffi).

Do you research before writing or while you write? Is it fun or boring for you?

While I write, and I do minimal research, to be honest – I usually Google an answer for a question I have. It’s not totally boring but it’s not super fun, I get what I need and then I move on.

"This never happened" fix-it fics or "this happened but" fix-it fics?

“This never happened” if it’s a death, because I’m not a big fan of resurrection/necromancy. For the rest, “this happened but”, because I like exploring how people work through problems instead of avoiding them. (sorry, i’ll save the rest for therapy.)

Wildest AU scenario you have written?

I wrote that the elf colony in Ithilien was primarily a gay community. That was a time.

Write a 9-word fic.

“Why do we always have meatloaf after a funeral?”

Whew, that was a lot of introspection and a long trip down memory lane. Thank you so much @thelastuncharteddawn for sending in this ask! <3

Aaaand part 11! It's short, but wanted out.

While she certainly didn't want help, Philippa knew she needed it.

Turned out Carl had probably known what he did, when he had deposited her on Vulcan of all planets.

This is a look back to how Philippa fared back when.

What -is- Spock supposed to think, when Philippa Georgiou of all people suddenly makes her (secretive) way to him, years after she had supposedly left with Michael?

Thank you once more, @noctuabunda ! *hugs* All remaining mistakes are definitely my own.

A few more parts are coming - there were too many bunnies in my brain for this to end it here.

I had such high hopes for my writing for this year’s Femslash February, but alas, I only eked out one small fic for the month! It’s one I’m proud of, though, for a fandom I’ve never written for before. Hope you enjoy a little light identity porn!

things all come and gone, Star Trek: Discovery, Michael Burnham/Mirror!Philippa Georgiou (Rated M, 536 words)

This is okay. This is okay. We are not who we are.

The bridge was eerily quiet. Everyone stared at Captain Georgiou and Commander Burnham. Tension grew ever stronger. Michael’s jaw clenched as her Captain turned in her chair, directly facing her. Philippa slowly stood up before speaking in a calm voice. “Commander, may I have a word with you in my ready room.” It wasn’t a question. Michael scoffed. It wasn’t her ready room, it was Philippa’s ready room, this person - her mirror - wasn’t her. Michael was furious.

✨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)

Ohhh so many!

I still absolutely love what I think was my first real longfic, the Andromaquynh fanfic In Your Stead, and I think it just doesn’t get notes anymore because anyone who might be interested in it has already seen it? AQ fandom is not too huge and definitely not getting many new members, so my wish for that fic to still get some attention is doomed to fail I guess. Still kind of sad to see my fav of my own fics basically collecting dust!

Then there’s my latest long(ish)fic, 10k T lonely hearts on distant roads for Milippa which got a stunning whole 9 kudos, and like I know our fandom has fallen into such a deep slumber it might as well not exist but like. I think it deserves better. And it’s a modern AU so basically anyone can read it even if you know nothing about the fandom o.o (pretty pls)

And I have several Gunpowder Milkshake fanfics that haven’t gotten much attention, but here it’s less one fic in particular and more the fandom in general that I feel is under appreciated, and like, why? It’s such a fun film! And it has Michelle Yeoh Lena Headey Angela Bassett Carla Gugino Karen Gillian what more do you want? xD

Thank you for the ask even though you are being mean! xD (she had sent me an ask with 3 questions, apparently took one look at the end note on the last ask, Messaged Me To Disregard Her Ask and sent them all separately instead. Lucy I like that you’re trying to make me productive but. Mean xD)

And I know you’re literally the wrong person to complain about my underappreciated fics to bc I think you already read pretty much all of them xD so thanks for the support <3

Send me fic asks because I’m trying to be productive for university No this is not counterproductive I’ll force myself to write at least a paragraph on my paper before every ask I reply to!

A BITTER TASTE

One of my personal ones but I am kinda stuck, so if you want to give any suggestions my ears are open. ^^

Emperor x Michael

- Hurt/Comfort - Angst with happy ending - Explicit

—

The bridge was eerily quiet. Everyone stared at Captain Georgiou and Commander Burnham. Tension grew ever stronger. Michael’s jaw clenched as her Captain turned in her chair, directly facing her. Philippa slowly stood up before speaking in a calm voice. “Commander, may I have a word with you?” gesturing to her ready room. Michael scoffed. It wasn’t her ready room. It was Philippa’s ready room… This person, her mirror, wasn’t her. Michael was furious.

They entered the ready room; door closing behind them. “Computer, privacy mode.” Philippa ordered. The computer chimed to life, activating the filter for the door, giving it a milky appearance before switching on noise cancellation. It was quiet and Michael turned around in anger. Before she could say anything though she got pinned against the nearest wall, gasping in surprise, staring Philippa’s mirror right in the eyes. The Emperor leaned in close, just centimeters from Michael’s face. She stopped. Taking it in, slowly moving her attention back to her eyes. “If you challenge my authority one more time,” the Emperor snarled.

“Then what,” Michael pushed her away, “You will kill me?” She straightened her uniform, glaring at the Emperor. “If you continue acting like your Terran-self out there you will blow your cover! The crew is already suspecting that something isn’t right.” She was nothing like her Captain… Philippa was warm and caring while this version only cared about power and control. Just an empty shell of her former self.

“And what do you expect me to do, hm? This crew is pathetic, just like my prime counterpart. I can’t believe she brought this Kelpien on board. What a waste of a-”

Michael loses her cool, taking a quick step towards Philippa, hand just short of her target. Getting dodged by Philippa side stepping her assault with ease. Throwing Michael off balance and pinning her against Georgiou’s desk. With her left hand pinning Michael’s right to the desk while choking her with her right. Michael gasped, trying to struggle free. Feeling Philippa’s hand squeeze ever harder until she let loose, chuckling in amusement at Michael. “As if that would have worked. I’ve spent 10 years with you Michael. I know you better than anyone on this ship.”

“I. Am. Not… HER!” Michael yelled through gasps at Philippa, trying her best to escape from the Emperor’s grip, grabbing Philippa’s throat in return. She started laughing at that, easily nudging her hand away and releasing Michael from her grasp. Pinning the annoying hand to the table.

“You’d be surprised at the similarities you share. It makes you predictable.”

The Emperor started getting cocky. Michael took that chance and leaned in close, parting her lips before softly exhaling against Philippa’s. She could feel the weight of the Emperor shifting, eyes cast down at Michael’s lips. What she didn’t plan for was her own heart starting to race but she wouldn’t let herself get distracted that easily. With a calculated kick to the shin Michael forced the Emperor to groan in pain and faceplant right into her chest. “That’s for insulting my friends and my Captain, Emperor,” Michael hissed through gritted teeth.

Philippa grumbles as the pain in her leg starts throbbing. She takes a deep breath before returning her gaze to Michael, hands releasing her wrists and folding them over Michael’s abdomen. “I must admit. I was not expecting that cheap trick…”

“Are we done yet?” Michael asks wearily leaning on her elbows, staring at Philippa.

Philippa lifts her torso off Michael, narrowing her eyes at the younger woman. “You were the one kicking me in the shin just seconds ago.”

Michael’s lips slowly spread until she couldn’t help herself any longer. She started giggling until it turned into a full blown laugh. This was just too familiar. The light banter, the teasing. She felt like she had her back. Her Captain.

Philippa was taken aback but enjoyed the delighted sounds resonating from Michael. They were warm, arousing something in her chest until she couldn’t help herself and smile with her. Such an odd and foreign sensation for her.

After Michael’s outburst subsided, her attention was brought back to Philippa. Her features softened and a fond smile formed on her face. Michael blushed, the sensation of having her former Captain back was still fresh. Having her so close to her, face as beautiful as ever, curls softly framing her features and her Starfleet uniform complimenting her lean physique. She was so in awe at the sight that she didn’t even notice Philippa extending her hand. But the soft touch against her cheek brought Michael’s attention back to reality. It wasn’t Captain Georgiou she was looking at, it was Emperor Georgiou.

But maybe just for a moment she could be her Captain. Michael could feel the warmth of her breath against her skin. For a moment they were frozen in time, everything slowed down and came to a stop. She was unable to breathe. This whole situation brought back memories… memories of hidden smiles shared on a busy bridge. Gentle touches to reassure her in passing. The firm squeeze of her bicep whenever they parted ways for an away mission. Her heart ached. Ached for Philippa, the woman she loved, the woman she will never forget. A tear slid down her cheek before she couldn’t take it anymore. With a last exhale she leaned in close, her nose brushing against Philippa’s cheek before capturing her parted lips. Michael could feel her chapped but soft lips against hers. Brushing them against each other with and ever growing need. The pain didn’t subside though, her chest felt heavier than ever. Lifting her right hand she pressed it against Philippa’s chest. Seeking more contact, anything to distract her from the pain. Desperately hoping the touch would lift some of the weight, some of the guilt but all it did was pull her in deeper. Flooding her with more emotions. She gasped as now both of Philippa’s hands framed her face, pulling her closer and deepening the kiss. Clinging to Philippa’s collar in desperation she tried to ground herself. The kiss was dizzying.
