OC in 15: Avery Lin

rules: share 15 or fewer lines of dialogue from an OC, ideally lines that capture the character/personality/vibe of the OC. Bonus points for just using dialogue without other details about the scene, but you're free to include those as well!

I was tagged by beloved @serenpedac !! But a million years ago so presumably everyone who wanted to has been tagged already lol. But if you want please feel free to do this and tag me!!

"Sometimes, a white dwarf star in a binary star system will accumulate too much matter and burst, creating a brilliant explosion called a supernova. That's how I feel." (Hunger and Thirst (minors dni))

"I really thought I'd get hotter. Or taller, at least. So you don't have to break your back trying to kiss me."

"Rebecca wouldn't want me here. She would...she would want me to be safe and have a roof over my head, she would offer and say 'stay' and maybe make breakfast plans, she would love me, or she would try to. But it would make her miserable, to see me every day. It always has, Nate, and it doesn't bother me, I don't need her." (Robots)

“You reminisced about my childhood. You said you loved me. You smiled. You're checking on me with your own eyes. I would have opened an investigation into your disappearance if I thought I had the security clearance.” (Stupid Cupid)

"Be careful what you wish for, muffin. I might never shut up."

"It’s incredibly reassuring, that this is the one I can’t know about, that you have to get all gussied up for this particular date with danger, and I can’t even know---” (Miscommunication)

"When I was a kid, I thought everyone who got married got a free trip to the moon."

"I... I think think is the best I can do right now."

"I always wondered what it would be like to have siblings."

"Detective Lin is off-duty and cannot come to the phone right now. Please leave a message after the—" (Stupid Cupid)

"Whisper into a seashell at the peak of the high tide. ... Kidding. But if you put a note in a bottle and throw it in the ocean, I will find it."

"I didn't do it to be thanked. And especially not properly."

"Oh, we already have our hands full raising Douglas."

"Overzealous application of the scientific method. Underzealous application of lab safety, but I knew enough to cover my eyes." (Scars)

"I chose you, and you chose me, and gravity has nothing to do with it." (You will surely be the death of me.)

I'm 100% stealing this from @pagegirlintraining

AO3 wrapped (writer’s edition)

I had a long year, so I didn't get to write as much as I would have liked to, but we still got a ton done.

1. How many words have you written this year? 180,453 words.

2. How many works did you publish this year? Somehow the answer is eleven.

3. What work are you most proud of (regardless of kudos/hits)? Reckless Abandon. Hands down. It took so much time to plan and so much energy to write and I am so proud of it. I'm writing the ending of the first draft right now and I'm sad to leave it behind.

HOWEVER I also very much enjoyed The Last Time, which is my Nilcent fic. I think just in terms of quality, this is one of my most beautifully written fics.

4. What work of yours has the most hits? The fics I have with the most hits is Reckless Abandon, but I think that's because it's the only one from this year that had more than one chapter.

5. What work of yours got more feedback than you expected? Dress Up As ! I wrote that in like 30 minutes while half asleep and then didn't edit it, so I didn't think anyone would read it at all lol. It's not my most popular fic by any means, but more people read it than I thought would.

6. Favorite title you used? Wilhelm's Frog Addiction because it's so ridiculous. It implies that Wilhelm needs a rehab for frogs, and I think that's great.

7. If you use song lyrics, which artist’s songs did you pull from the most? I used the title of The Last Time from a Taylor Swift song, but I think that was the only one.

8. Pairing you wrote the most for this year? Wilhelm/Simon Eriksson with 9 out of 11 fics being about them or containing them in some way. (damn thats an unfortunate statistic)

9. Favorite pairing you wrote for this year? Obviously Wilmon. I feel like that's a given at this point.

10. What work was the quickest to write? Dress Up As... again, I wrote it in 30 minutes while half asleep💀

11. What work took you the longest to write? If we rule out the one that's multi-chapter for fairness sake, then the fic that took me the longest to write was probably Not Entirely Screwed (But Almost). But take that with a grain of salt.

12. How many WIPs do you have in your docs for next year? Two or three that I actually plan on finishing. I have others that are started, but I don't know if I have enough plot to actually get through them.

13. What’s your longest work of the year? Reckless Abandon, containing 123k of my 180k words this year 💀

14. What’s your shortest work of the year? A Fool Proof Guide - 507 words.

15. What WIP are you taking into next year with you? Finishing Reckless Abandon! One chapter to edit and an epilogue to finish writing, and then it's done. I just can't finish it in the two days I have left of the year 😭

16. What’s your most common “Additional Tags” tag? Simon Eriksson Loves Wilhelm, followed by Wilhelm Loves Simon Eriksson

17. Your favorite character to write this year? I simply cannot answer this. My mind has been so consumed with Reckless Abandon and the switching POVs that I literally cannot choose one.

18. What’s one pairing you want to explore next year? I think I might like to write more of Felice's platonic pairings next year. I feel like I neglect her because I don't really ship her with anyone.

19. Which work of yours have you reread the most? The Thing In The Mirror. It's kind of a love letter to my grief, so sometimes I go back and read it when I'm feeling down.

20. How many kudos in total did you get this year? 2,754

21. Which work has the most comments? Reckless Abandon, but again, it's the only one with more than one chapter so that makes sense.

22. Did you do any collaborative works this year? Not this year! Maybe next year. Dani and I don't write "together" per se, but we do bounce a lot of ideas off each other, so if that counts then yes, but nothing plotted and written and posted together.

23. Did you write any gifts this year? I did! I wrote for YR Week, which wasn't a gift, but an event. And I wrote a Christmas gift for Nic!

24. Did you receive any gifts this year? Yes yes yes! A beautiful, perfect Christmas gift from @pagegirlintraining I enjoyed every word of it.

25. What’s your most common category? M/M

26. What do you listen to while writing? Not much, actually. I have the Reckless Abandon Playlist, but I only really used that when outlining.

27. Favorite work you wrote this year? For the sake of not repeating myself, out off the ones I haven't mentioned yet, Isn't That Your Thing? and Patience Is A Virtue are my favorite little crack fics.

28. Favorite line/passage you wrote this year? Oh jesus, that's impossible. I don't think I can choose just one. I can give you one that makes me think "holy shit I can write" though:

This piece of work — the one staring Stella in the face — was a revolution made of oil paint.

29. Biggest surprise while writing this year? I can write smut. And people don't hate it somehow.

Thank y'all for a fun year. Can't wait to see what my brain does to torture us all in the next one.

Omg i just read your Jungkook ff ‘slow & steady’. It was so good yet so heart wrenching. I felt like my soul has been sucked out of my body *sobbing really hard* :(

I know its been years you have posted that ff and you have replied to many about deciding a part 2 of it but I wanna know like can we expect a timeline? Or you are just in thinking phase of writing it or not? Because its already been years.

Thank you for reading Slow & Steady!! I know it's a painful one, but I have to say that I genuinely loved writing that story so much <33

About the 2nd part...I can't remember if I ever talked about this anywhere before. So basically, I never really planned or thought about continuing the story since it was commissioned and the one who ordered the fic never came back with a new idea to continue it (some of them would do it if they want another part)

But then I joined a BTS fic collab that was supposed to happen between the end of last year to the early half of the year with "artist bangtan" theme and I remembered that I had an artist/painter Jungkook that I loved so much with readers asking for a part 2. I decided to submit the idea for that collab which later on made me plan out Sweet Little Lies as its 2nd part.

Anyway, due to unfortunate circumstances, the collab was cancelled before it was ever announced and I kinda forgot about the idea for a moment. Until people started asking about it again, and I was like...you know what, since I already have the story plotted and properly planned, so let's just make it happen instead of abandoning this lol

I don't have a definite timeline yet since after the collab was scrapped and then I got busy with moving to a new state and starting a new job, I had to shift around my writing schedule and started focusing on the ones with definite timelines (eg. my ongoing series, currently active fic collabs, and commissions). I'll definitely announce it with a teaser and add an estimate posting date on my wip/schedule post once I'm ready to focus on it. For now, I might just start adding stuff into the draft and go back to it sporadically until I know for sure when it's going to come out :)

a little spoiler, here's a quick reference of painter Jungkook that I'm using as inspiration

(for those reading webtoons, this is a character from Go Away Romeo which is highly recommended to read!)

#💌 for dia #Anonymous #fic: slow and steady #fic: sweet little lies

Weekend WIP Game

tagged by the always lovely @welcometololaland <3<3

Rules: List your WIPs below (if you only write one fic at a time, feel free to include future WIPs/ideas!) then answer the following questions. Then, tag as many people as you have WIPs (or more)

1. WIP List:

vampire!buck (i want my blood in your veins)

buddie orgasm delay (locked and loaded)

demon!buck/angel!eddie (devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes)

incubus!eddie/hunter!buck

buddie bachelorette

fae!carlos (by any other name)

tarlos pwp

buck/eddie/taylor threesome (you're breaking hearts for fun and it's bloody)

2. Which of your WIPs is currently the longest?

fae!carlos with 25,219 (!!! a lot more than i thought, i thought it was around 12k lol)

3. Which WIP do you expect will end up the longest?

i have no idea, tbh. possibly fae!carlos? but i can see demon!buck/angel!eddie getting pretty long too

4. Which WIP is your favourite to write/the most enjoyable to write? Why?

atm demon!buck/angel!eddie only because it's taking over my mind like no other wip rn. planning on adding more tonight and last night i started and it's already at 3.5k

5. Which WIP do you find the most intimidating to write? Why?

fae!carlos and buddie orgams delay. i think because i'm stuck on these. i know where i want to go, i have scenes i know i want to write, but for some reason i can't write them. it's infuriating.

6. Which WIP do you experience the most self-doubt about. Why?

ooohhhh that's easy that's all of them! possibly because i'm scared people won't like them? impostor syndrome is a pesky friend of mine

7. Which of your WIPs will you seek out a beta/sensitivity reader for? Why?

for fae!carlos i have @rmd-writes and @decafdino beta-ing (i'm so sorry i know it looks like i've abandoned it but i didn't! i swear!) with some of my buddie fics, i send some special snippets to @hippolotamus and @911-on-abc and talk to them about plot details on some of my fics.

8. Have any of your WIPs been struck by the curse of writer's block?

....why do you think a lot of them haven't been finished?

9. Which WIP has your favourite OC? Tell us about them?

none of them have ocs, unfortunately.

10. Which WIP is the sexiest?

buddie orgasm delay and tarlos pwp (even though that one lives mostly in my mind)

11. Which WIP is the angstiest?

ooohhh fae!carlos gets pretty angsty. when @rmd-writes read the rough draft of THAT scene, she lovingly and angrily called me an evil genius

12. Which WIP has the best characterisation (in your humble opinion)?

like how close they are to canon? or character growth in terms of story? whatever it is, i hope i stay close to their canon selves. and if it's the latter, perhaps either incubus!eddie/hunter!buck or demon!buck/angel!eddie

13. Which WIP has the best scene setting (in your humble opinion)?

this is probably one of my weak spots as a writer. so i'm not sure tbh

14. Which WIP have you worked the hardest on?

fae!carlos i think that's another reason i had to take a break from it.

15. Which WIP do you have the highest expectations for? Why?

incubus!eddie/hunter!buck -- only because i want to get it right. i have a very specific vision for it and i want it to be perfect

16. Do you dream about any of your WIPs?

yes! lol i wake up and immediately want to write but either work and school gets in the way

17. Do any of your WIPs have particular complexities that your other fics don't?

buddie bachelorette because i don't watch reality tv so i want to get it right for those that do (so here comes me starting to watch these shows and lowkey becoming addicted to all the drama lol)

18. Which WIP is the funniest or has the most humour?

buddie bachelorette, easy

19. Do any of your WIPs contain outside POVs or a deep dive on a character other than the main ship? How are you finding that process?

buddie bachelorette, there are some scenes that have taylor's (the bachelorette) pov and some with hen's and ravi's pov as the producer and camera man's povs i haven't written them quite yet, but i'm looking forward to the challenge!

20. Tell us one thing we don't know about one or more of your WIPs

so like some people have guessed in my snippet for demon!buck/angel!eddie here, maddie made a deal with a demon. it is doug and since she's not a human, she has five decades and not five weeks like a human would until her time is up. (but that won't stop doug)

tagging @hippolotamus @911-on-abc @eddiebabygirldiaz @monsterrae1 @thewolvesof1998 @giddyupbuck @disasterbuckdiaz @loserdiaz @wikiangela @forthewolves @wildlife4life @fortheloveofbuddie @eddiediaztho @wandering-night19 @rmd-writes @alrightbuckaroo @decafdino @liminalmemories21 @pirrusstuff @your-catfish-friend @spotsandsocks @apothecarose @mammameesh @eddie---diaz @eowon @daffi-990 @bonheur-cafe

for the wip game, would you be willing to talk about "passions into flame?"

Oh Lord I didn't even know this was in here lol Tumblr been eating my asks and posts again. (Srsly half the posts my asks reference when here are just. Gone. Or they just don't show up in the blog search).

I have given this WIP it's official name and am just about to post the first scene so I feel it's appropriate to answer this now, even if its way late, hehe 😅

Official New title is "Between the Darkness and the Dawn"

The summary is...undecided, lol. It's a collection of scenes more than decent chapters but there is a plot I swear.

It starts with the "win you back" fight on the hill, in which Guts has his final swing stalled by a unexpectedly raw display of emotion from Griffith. Griffith sees his opportunity and wounds Guts so badly he faints (on purpose).

Now a big part of the premise for this story is that Griffith, being back "home" in Wyndam and being at peacetime (something he has never really known) starts to feel the effects of PTSD. Guts trying to leave sets off a MASSIVE trigger, (which results in a weird semi sexy scene with Casca in leiu of Charlotte, because this man has no impulse control when he's hurt, an unfortunate encounter with a housemaid, and Griffith contemplating suicide, while the Behelit starts talking to him and making him think he's going mad) and then to put a real nail in the coffin the boy gets deathly ill from all the stress, which is an even Bigger Trigger - but not just for him, no, the illness triggers Guts into Overprotective Mode (he watched one parent die of plague and another go crazy from being hurt, so seeing his BFF bedridden and dying kinda makes him go a lil loopy) and since influenza is contagious they have no real choice but to figure some of their shit out, both ultimately coming down sick and being locked in a room together to cuddle their confusion away (can you tell I like Caretaker / Sick fics?)

Or, so they hoped. 👍This leads to a series of events in which no one can decide what's right for Griffith, and Labann wants to take him away, so Guts just decides he's gonna settle all this crap and Then Leave because he's still not too sure what Griffith's deal is or if all those tears and confessions were really meant for him. (Can you say, dense as a brick?) Mind you this is After Guts explains the Promrose thing but since Griffith never brings it up again he assumes Griff just forgot. Anywho~

Cue a very...uh, passionate, kissing scene when they finally do get together in their right minds and Griffith decides actions speak louder than words. :) because if you're gonna be Hunky-Morosexual you gotta speak the native language. 😉

Guts flips out, of course, bolts, Triggers Griffith with Abandonment feelings again, and he resigns himself to the idea he is going insane. Labann finds him, and they disappear for a few days to his manor. Griffith is Self Destructive and Impulsive when he is hurt, so what does he do? Throws himself at Laban, that's what. (Not that it goes according to plan mind you).

But at least he gets a cute little 6 year old prospective squire out of it 😁

Man I have SO MANY SCENES drafted out and so many more that I do not. 😅

But that's about the size of the first few chronological ones.

Hope this is satisfactory? Lol

abandoned wips masterlist

so not too long ago i did an insta poll asking if i should expose all my abandoned fic drafts cause i mean it’s not like theyre ever gonna see the light of day otherwise. i was going to do it when i hit 3k kudos on ao3 and i did so i suppose it has come time for me to expose my mistakes

for obvious reasons, don’t repost these (idk why anyone would lol) but if you really like one of these and want to see it continued, just hit up my ask box and i may or may not consider~

Miscellaneous Fandoms:

Ninjago: Zephyr - a Morro backstory fic bc the hageman bros refuse to feed me more content of my son. barely started it but yknow its there

Miraculous Ladybug/BoBoiBoy: this failed attempt at a fanginette fic bc @secretagentspydetectiveninja got me invested even tho writers block is a binch hahshs

BoBoiBoy:

kokotiam gang angst that reminded me i cannot for the life of me write emotional angst (or any angst for that matter oop)

ramenzo (and kaifang) angst that i churned out on a saturday afternoon on a writing spike instead of doing homework bc I Do Not Control the Writing Juice

au where bbb is a forest guardian(?) and fang just wants away from Society (same fang same) i will probably be yearning for woodland aus till the day i die bc who *doesnt* wanna ditch everything and go live in the middle of the woods amirite?

update: i discovered this uhh kaifang post-bora ra incident thing in my other drive

Miraculous Ladybug:

this is a great. opening. to a chloe fic. that doesnt exist. oof :,)

caline bustier’s home for orphans amirite (i mean she basically already adopted the whole class so)

im genuinely not a fan of the jealous!lover trope but someone in the marcnath server wanted some at one point so i. attempted. and failed but you know thats to be expected at this point :’3

oh look allya is projecting her writing struggles onto marc again is anyone surprised?

theres probably a museum brotp story in here but it doesnt exist and at this point it never will rip

oh good lord not this again i genuinely managed to forget about it for a while until now-

hi sorry to bother you but do you have any more akira omo fics planned? yours are honestly the best and i'd love to know what/if you're planning on writing with him in the future, or if you have any sneak peaks you'd be willing to share hehe. also have you ever thought about doing commissions because i'd happily pay for an akira omo fic since you write them so well!

Ahh no worries anon, it's never bothering me! I like getting asks! 💛 And oh my goodness that's really sweet of you to say!!! 😻

I've thought about taking commissions before actually, but 1. I'd have to make a whole separate paypal and email and junk which seems complicated for just that 1 purpose and 2. I write too slowly and jump between too many projects, and can only write what I'm vibing with at the time. My juggling system works fine for me writing for fun, but I think if I put the kind of deadline and pressure on myself that comes with paying customers and expectations I'd just end up in a loop of procrastination and writer's block, or half-assing things just to get them done. The extra cash would certainly be nice, but it's just not worth the stress and risk of backfiring haha (and also charging by word count wouldn't work well for me or customers since all my oneshots are long af)

I'm super flattered by the sentiment! 💛 It's just not something doable for me right now. If anyone really wants to pay for a fic, I'd be willing to accept fanart/fic of my faves in return 👀 that's a joke lmao no one feel obligated plz, I'm honestly happy putting out my stuff for free

And now to get back on topic: I'm afraid I don't have a ton planned for him at the moment or WIPs to show since 1. I dumped all those abandoned p/5 omo drafts onto my tumblr to clear my files and 2. 90% of my omovember stuff is D/R oops 😅

But I do really want to do a fic of himXT/ae as a sort of continuation of that old drabble I posted back in the day. (My idea was gonna be for the omovember diuretic prompt, but then I had the Kir/igiriXCel/este one drafted first instead so I'll be prioritizing that). I still wanna do it though, maybe even with them on a public date or smth bc Ak/ira is just enough of a cocky boi to risk it and T/ae would be interested in forcing him to put his money where his mouth is lol

There's also that elevator prompt with him and Ry/uji I'd really like to get around to. I've also always loved the idea of him getting desperate but too nervous to get up during the plane ride to Hawaii and how a few of them might deal with that, OR that one hc anon (you perhaps? Idk how many p/5 anons I have lol) sent me about him chugging soda/being desp suddenly and constantly and it hitting during a Palace.

So yeah I've got a few good ideas just... not the extra time/attention to devote to them right now RIP. Hopefully if my writing brain isn't dead after I finish my omovember fics and that one fe/mslash kin/kmeme fic I can start getting around to at least one 😿 Because I really do miss writing him and 'Cops and Robbers' didn't feel like it 'counted' since it was past canon and didn't have much real plot (like, I loved writing it, but it didn't give me that comfy feeling of my p/5 home since it was a future timeline and the cheesy roleplay interfered with characterization so it wasn't really writing A/kira)

Tbh I also had some ideas involving him that were based on PQ/2 actually, but unfortunately my 3ds finally kicked the bucket a while ago so I haven't gotten far enough into the game for the plots I wanted to base the fics on RIP. I'm hoping to save any Christmas money I get from relatives and my own savings I've set aside to get a replacement next year if all goes well though, so if I get sucked into that maybe I'll start writing a bunch of those haha

#bear gets a letter #persomo #p/5 spoilers #tldr i have ideas and plan to write him eventually lmao it'll just be a while

(many) tag games

saw someone else do this so i figured i’d go through all my tag games in one looong post instead of spamming you all with a bunch of separate posts!

i’m gonna tag everyone now and yall can choose which tag games you want to do or whether you want to do them all (or whether you want to do any)!!

thanks to everyone who tagged me in all of these! i LOVE being tagged in tag games and i am always up for more! <3

tagging THE SANCTION (including ppl that i haven’t gotten up on the page yet im sorry abfjffsdhsjbjsdf it will happen SOON): @newdivinities @wolvesofarcadia @maskedlady @victoiirres @sancta-silje @bumblebeesonpaper @wasting-ink-not-youth @horrorspell @ya-lady-tauriel @awritinglen @purpleshadows1989 @ivonoris @theforgottencoolkid @the-ichor-of-ruination @grotesqu-e @lucacangettathisass @tea-ndi @hazeywrites @lunar895 @thewordsinthesky-andstars

[LAST LINE TAG]

TAGGED BY @melwrotethat AND @hazeywrites

thank you both for the tags! these are the last few lines of the prologue-excerpt-thing i wrote for the page i’m working on for WHERE THE CELLAR MEETS THE SKY

Somehow, Collin hears them. Silently, she rolls up her sleeve, and Rowan feels the Collin Sutherland they knew is somewhere far, far away. The tattoos are black, geometric in design, two on each arm, and eerily similar to the ones Rowan has just discovered on their own left arm. They're sure if they were to roll up their right sleeve, they would find more.

"I should have told you a long time ago," Collin whispers. "I didn't know you were a part of it, but I should have guessed. I didn't want to put you in danger."

"I'm not- I don't- in danger of what?"

The waves crash onto the shore, and in the distance, a seagull cries, sending Collin into action. She grabs Rowan's hand and starts pulling, dragging them back behind the house.

"Come on. We don't have a lot of time, we have to get going. I can tell you everything on the way. I don't know why he brought me here instead of straight to the veil, damn it-,"

"Wait!," they say, wrenching their hand out of her grasp. "Just- stop! Where are we going?!"

Collin's eyes flash bright, despite the lack of sunlight. "Home."

yeah, a bit long, a bit unedited, but *shrugs*

TAGGED BY @awritinglen <333333333333333333333333

thank you for tagging me len!!! your questions were so fun!! i’m doing this for WHERE THE CELLAR MEETS THE SKY

Name all OCs in your WIP

OMFG okay,,, wait do you mean full names?? POV characters as of rn are Collin Aisling Sutherland, Rowan Tilley (doesn’t have a middle name) and Avery Bristol Charter. then the next most important one is Isaac Michael Rosewell, even though he’s the antagonist. then the side characters that are still very featured are Noah Rosalyn Pratten, Reese Iseul Radley, and Sage Emarosa Delgado. THEN we get into the very very side characters, Willa Robinson and her son August Robinson. then we have Avery’s parents, Alaric and the late Octavia Charter. and thennnnn we have Beldane Moreno, Avery’s uncle and Collin’s grandfather (undecided abt that last name but going w it for now). i promise it all makes sense. i promise anfnfsjnfdjsfd

Name at least one hobby your Main character love

i’ll give this one to Collin, she is a musician! Avery’s mother always taught her music before The Accident (dun dun dunnn) and after Collin was abandoned in the Nigh she threw herself into music. she plays guitar mostly, but she secretly loves piano the best out of every instrument she knows

3 sentences about your current WIP

OOF. im so bad at summaries why would you do this to meee abfhshjbsbshfjsbf. “A determined believer wants to return to a home that never wanted her. Almost 4000 miles away, an incisive, intellectual outcast of a dreamer muses over getting out of their hometown. And infinities away from them both, a teenage revolutionary disappears into thin air, on his way to bring back his past and fix his (and everyone’s) future.”

Is there a romance in your WIP and did you plan it from the beginning?

yes! there are three! they are definitely a main focus of the plot, but not THE main focus. Reese and Rowan were definitely planned from the beginning. Collin and Noah were, too, but they weren’t originally enemies to lovers, and they are now (hehehehehe). and Isaac and Avery were DEFINITELY not planned from the beginning. in fact, Avery was originally paired up with Sage, but it’s literally so much better this way and i’m so glad it’s been changed. Isaac and Avery has been planned since about when Isaac’s character was thought up, one year into planning WTCMTS.

What genre(s) is it?

a mix of dystopia and urban fantasy. and it’s YA, borderline NA because some of the characters are 19-20, but i still think YA is appropriate because of the style of writing.

What’s the aesthetic of two of your characters?

fun question! Collin’s aesthetic is very emo-punk, with a splash of yellow towards the end of the series. piercings, blue hair, rips on clothing, dirty converse, smudged eyeliner, safety pins. the yellow comes in as part of her character arc, as she learns to accept that her childhood memories are tainted and not actually perfect utopia. Rowan is way more minimalist (sometimes). they’re into the bookstagram type aesthetic, and mom jeans with sneakers, jean jackets, plants against a white wall, colorblocked windbreakers, rain against a car window.

When did you start your current WIP?

WTCMTS was started in august of 2017

How far along are you in the process (i.e 1st/2nd/3rd draft, worldbuilding)

still worldbuilding, unfortunately, for personal reasons

Who’s the hardest character for you to write?

OOOOOOF. sage or rowan?

What music genre best decribes your main character(s) and whats their favorite?

Collin - alternative (favorite band would be like twenty one pilots, p!atd)

Rowan - ichillwave (clario, rex orange county)

Avery - emo (fall out boy, all time low)

Isaac - indie alternative OR instrumental lofi (jaymes young, birdy)

Noah - electropop (lorde, halsey, charlie xcx)

Reese - folk rock (the head and the heart, of monsters and men)

Sage - indie pop (lana del ray, florence + the machine)

Are you working on more than one WIP?

yes! i have four currently but only two are important lol, ILLUNIUS and WHERE THE CELLAR MEETS THE SKY (this one). WIP PAGE

MY QUESTIONS

how did you come up with the title for your WIP?

is there anything you want to change about your WIP but you are hesitating on?

do you have a favorite character? a character that is your baby?

write a tinder bio for one of your characters.

how do you feel about epilogues? does your wip include an epilogue?

what changes does your MC go through over the course of the story?

what is the most significant insignificant thing that happens in your story? don’t explain why it is significant if it spoils things ;)

do you know what will happen after the ending of your wip, or would you rather not picture it?

how long does your wip span? is it a novel? a series? does it have prequels or spin-off wips?

what is a major internal conflict for your MC?

do you include flashbacks in your wip? do you like writing flashbacks?

[HOW TO KNOW YOU’RE IN A ______ NOVEL TAG]

TAGGED BY @writevevo AND @wolvesofarcadia

thank you both for this tag! it’s so much fun and both of your novels sound like novels that would be very interesting to be stuck in :D

inspired by this post

HOW TO KNOW YOU’RE IN A HALOHIDINGS NOVEL

you’re an older sibling and you have a younger sibling. you’re extremely bitter towards your younger sibling for stealing opportunities from you, damning you to a life you never truly wanted. your younger sibling adores you and just wants to please you. they never meant to do it.

you’re stuck in constant, wistful wanderlust, never feeling like you truly belong, never fitting in anywhere, not with friends, not with family, and when you finally find the place you’ve been looking for, you realize it’s nothing like you dreamed or remembered.

you’re not heterosexual. no one around you is. no one is cisgender either. where are they? no one knows.

you have a peculiar capability dancing under your skin. it trickles from your pores and muddles with your mind. maybe you asked for it, maybe it was predestined, maybe you never wanted anything to do with it. whatever the reason, it’s there, and you don’t know what’s you and what’s it. maybe you’re not meant to ask. maybe you’re meant to succumb.

your memories are as fickle as the rain, coming and going and breaking through the clouds, shattering the fog and disappearing with the sun. you can’t recall what you’re doing here, or where you’re meant to be instead. what’s your name?, they ask. you don’t know.

there are two worlds. one world is blissfully unaware of this, or at least, as unaware as any world of millions and millions of people can be. no secret can be kept forever, they tell you. you are desperately trying to keep the secret.

the one closest to you, despite your abhorrent denial of this fact, the one you would trust with your life, will betray you. because of their decision, their selfishness, you will either lose them, or lose yourself.

THOSE WERE SO FUN OMG. they all mostly apply to both of my major wips, which is probably bad. oh well LMAO

SORRY THAT WAS SOOOOOOOO LONG hope at least someone does one of these tag games lol <3

Writers Reflections: Tag Meme

I was tagged by @oathkeeperoxas my ultimate writing senpai uwu ❤💛❤

Rules: answer the following questions about your own writing, whether fanfic or original. If you can't/don't want to answer a question, just put N/A. If you don't have that many posted works, tell us about your WIPs or individual chapters/drabbles or even your ideas! Then tag as many writers as you like :)

AO3 name and link, if applicable: angeltrumpets

What's your most popular fic, by whatever metric is most relevant to you (hits, kudos, comments, reblogs, some other trait)?:

By Any Other Name is the most popular on AO3, but it's the only fic of mine that isn't a oneshot and it's also a soulmate AU (Hdkn from TG) so that just kinda automatically makes it more popular than my other fics.

On tumblr tho, my most popular fic has easily been A Source of Warmth, which as of now has 87 notes. It's a Hdkn TG oneshot I posted when the fandom was at its peak in 2015, however about a year ago it got a bunch more notes like a sudden attention and idk why but it was unexpected that's for sure.

What's your favourite fic that you've written?

Hmmmmmm Dancing Fireflies is my favourite in terms of the context behind it and how much damn fun it was to write, because it's a crack fic, but treated seriously, which made it more fun to write, and I also like going back and reading it again. It's also the fic with the most entertaining comments.

What's your best fic, and is it different from your favourite fic?

Recurring Illusions. It's the most recent thing I've written. (Hdkn oneshot, angst, an excuse for me to never stop being owned by Chapter 136). It really does FEEL like my best fic, as in I had a really good feeling as I was writing it! I was doing a lot that I hadn't written before, and I worked really hard on it! It came out really good!

Unfortunately because the fic is tagged with Graphic Violence and Implied Character Death, not many people are clicking to read it, but I expected that. The Graphic Violence was actually one of the things that was new to me, because most of my writing is very.... hmm uneventful? Like nothing big happens in most of my oneshots. Whereas here it was like Im writing a scene where he's killing people or eating people here how does that get written. Especilly the eating. I am very proud of the eating part of the oneshot especially because I pushed myself to go further with it and not shy away from details. I also am proud of the choices I made when writing it to display what state of mind Kaneki was in at certain parts.

Do you have a fic whose popularity surprised you?

OMG YES!!??!! Coffee And Thieves!! It's my second most viewed and kudosed fic on AO3 and I'm ????? like I'm still lost!!!!! It was a secret santa fic I wrote of the Amon/Hide/Kaneki poly ship and its popularity confuses me for two reasons: 1) I had no idea this many people would be clicking on it and reading it because honestly it's a super rare ship especially being a poly ship and I wouldn't have even known of its existence if it weren't for who I was gifting the fic to! But apparently more people are looking to read the ship than I thought! And 2) quality of writing wise it's more simplistic than some of my other fics. Like it's just fluff and I know people like reading that but it also means there's less room to like... show-off writing capabilities, you feel? Altho again, it's not like people are looking for that when it comes to fluff.

Do you have a fic you wish more people would read?

THE WITCH'S SERVANT! It's easily the oneshot I spent the most time on like I posted it months after starting it because I spent so long getting it right and soooooooo many hours working it out. But yeah it got comparatively much less attention than my other Hdkn fics. But I am still proud of it because I worked really hard on it and I got to write up what I wanted, which was the play that Hide and Kaneki brought up in the series. I wanted to look more into that and write about it, because I had seen meta and theory writers talk about Hide and Kaneki's roles in that play in relation to their roles in the overall story of TG, so I tried to integrate a little of that meta into the fic. I also included dialogue from the unused draft from the last ep from Root A in the fic. So there was a lot I was putting in, and yeah while it's a shame it didn't get more attention, I'm still happy with it and proud of it.

Is there a ship or fandom you haven't written, but really want to?

I have been wanting to write Reigisa from Free since fckn 2014. Every year I have been like "This is the year I contribute to Reigisa Week" and then I don't. And since Ive been with the ship for a long time and seen a lot of it, I feel like I know the characters and ship dynamic well enough to be comfortable writing it. But yeah Ive never gotten around to completely writing anything. Ive started a few, but they had always ended up abandoned.

Tell us a random fact about your writing process:

Ok so Im slow as shit right, like my multichapter fic from earlier has 2 chapters written and I started the fic in March this year so lol i know slowness and going ages without writing is common with a lot of writers tho

Usually what gets me going is a song putting me in a mood. Often the song won't match the mood of the fic I'm writing, as it'll almost always be a more angsty emotional song that gets me motivated, even if what I'm writing is not emotional at all. It just makes me feel like I can get things out more easily and write more interestingly.

I also save my writing docs in dropbox so I can always add to it either on my laptop or phone whenever I feel like it and it's synced up, but it never really ends up that way because nothing happens when I try to write on my phone I'm rarely able to write without the laptop setup.

Tagging @akaaka04 because Red ur the only mutual who first came to mind when I was thinking of mutuals rn who write, anyone else I can think of I'm either not mutuals with or I don't know for sure if they write or not. Sorry if I'm forgetting someone

every 4th question

*_* Thank you so much!!

(yall about to learn way too much about me I’m sorry)

4. name three authors that were influential to your work andtell why

Well since I’ve done a crap job of reading published fictionfor months, these authors haven’t been read for at least…seven months or morenow. But I still think about their work a lot:

Haruki Murakami: His books 1Q84 and The Wind-Up Bird Chroniclewere so beautiful to me—I know some think he’s overrated (and I haven’t readKafka on the Shore I’m afraid to) but those two books are so many things I loveabout fiction—aspects of magical realism, rich sensory details, and justlengthy prose that is never boring to me. So much of the fantastical is in hiswriting, so many strong images coupled with emotions, it’s just a joy to readhim, and I try to put some similar level of strong imagery in my work partlybecause of his influence I think.

Jean M. Auel: I read her Earth’s Children series when I was13, again when I was 18, and since I was 22 I’ve been really wrapped up in it,though not as heavily as I was seven months ago—I still think about it a lotand miss the protagonist, who’s been a huge comfort to me over the years. Itinfluenced my first college major (anthropology) and was the strongestinfluence on my passion to be a writer. Her prose is also rich in detail, butmore in a “textbook” kind of way which I think most readers found boring, but Iloved it, it helped me get wrapped up in the prehistoric world Auel builds.Also gave me a passionate love for strong women healers who are independent yetstill multi-faceted. :) (sound familiar?)

Hayao Miyazaki: He’s most well-known as a director ofseveral beautiful animated films from Japan. But in 2012 I read his mangaNausicaa of the Valley of the Wind and honestly it changed my life. Anotherstrong woman as a protagonist, and also such a beautiful message behind theentire work taken as a whole. Only added fuel to the fire of my passion forpost-apocalyptic narratives, which influences my original fantasy writing alot. But also that manga is so much about transformation, and compassion, andthe strength of humanity, I feel like I try to put that strength in all mycharacters in some way, even in fanfiction. Nausicaa is such a beautifulcharacter in so many ways…I could write an essay (kind of have already but it’sjust a messy ramble and over three years old now lol).

8. what time are you most productive?

Umm unfortunately either right before I eat dinner (I’m notsuper hungry in the evenings, I only eat to take my medicine, and I hate howtired eating dinner usually makes me) or really late at night after I’ve wokenup from an unplanned nap. On weekends I love to get writing done in themornings, between a small breakfast and just some snacks for lunch, but thatdoesn’t happen as often as I want.

12. favorite place to write

On my bed with my cat next to me (the only place I’m ever onmy laptop honestly)

16. easiest verse to write

Is this referring to universe as in what fandom do I mostprefer to write in?? I hope I’m reading that right…if not you can correct me!But obviously rn I only write for Elementary…but I hope to explore fantasy AUs,including Pacific Rim and His Dark Materials! And of course my vampire AU whichwill be so so exciting for me to write… I just love fantasy, so I suppose that’seasiest for me.

If my mind is playing tricks on me and this question isreferring to POV or tense…I’m really confused.

20. favorite character to write

Well this one’s obvious…Joan Watson. I’ve projected myselfon her an embarrassing amount really, but also she inspires me. I’m so happythat I took the plunge and finally started writing fanfiction because of her.

24. favorite scene you’ve ever written

I haven’t written a lot of fic yet, but my favorite that I’veposted online is…The First Night. It’s the most I’ve gotten into Joan’s head Ithink, that’s probably why I like it so much. And it’s just the tip of theiceberg of all the closure fic I want to write (I guess others call it fix-itfic but I see closure fic as a bit different than fix-it) which is why I was sodriven to write fanfiction in the first place (for the first time ever, it was so scary).

28. worst review you ever got

Everyone commenting on my fics has been so kind! I have nocomplaints in that area! But I will say there was this workshop in college…ohit was a dark time. Anyone ever have those writing professors who just abhorgenre fiction and look down on it and of course all you want to write is genrefiction and ugh…Well I wrote a story with two vampires who were enemies, andthe protagonist I was writing, the ideas for her were in their infant stagesand I just took a risk…and it didn’t pay off. Everyone was confused, no one hadanything good to say…that I remember. It was no fun.

32. alternate title for (insert story title)

Since you didn’t choose a title I will choose one myself!>_

36. one-shot or multi-chaptered story?

To read? Multi-chaptered story all the way. I love lengthystories, I will gobble them up every time if it’s characters/pairings I love!But this doesn’t mean I dislike one-shots, I love one-shots. I love both reallyI can’t say I have a strong preference for multi-chapter, I just have alwaysloved long stories, I love spending a long time with characters and gettingcloser to them that way.

To write? Sad to say I suck at plot so one-shots are mydeal. Or vignettes, if we want to be flattering. (I’m sure there’s a differenceI just haven’t learned it yet.)

40. which one of your stories would you most like to see asa movie/series

*shuffles feet* Love Is Touching Souls (which is a WIP but Ihave several chapters planned) It would give me so much closure and thegreatest joy to see my Elementary AU played out on screen by the beautifulactors…(sans Mycrosoft of course we all know I hate him…except that moment whenJoan smacks him the face. Which is what really happened in 2x23.)

44. do you write linear or do you write future scenes if youfeel like it?

So far I prefer to write linear, but I’m so impatient andfrustrated with myself because of that…I feel like I can never get enough done!I do a lot of planning…and if I feel really strongly about a scene I’ll write asuper rough draft or a snippet of it. Several of my WIPs just popped up thatway…including most of Love Is Touching Souls.

48. three spoilers for (insert story title)

Well, uh, you get spoilers for the future chapters of LoveIs Touching Souls cuz that’s the only long fic I have going! (Besides the Vegasfic which I will never abandon I stg it’s just on hold!)

Spoiler 1 involves the roof of the brownstone post 3x24.(will never be as good as @disheveledcurls‘ “and miles to go before I sleep” - please go read it if you haven’t and comment she deserves it - but I had to tryand express my paltry headcanons, it’s the least Joan and Sherlock deserve fromme)

Spoiler 2 will involve Joan discovering Moriarty’s lettersand deep discussion with Sherlock about the difference between Joan andMoriarty, which y’know we really should’ve gotten in the show I mean c’mon.

Spoiler 3 involves Joan in Peril because I have to write itokay I have to. It was one of the first stories I came up with actually (afterthe very first fic I ever started that should be chapter 3 of LITS, whichinvolves Sherlock in Peril so I just love writing my faves getting hurt I’mmean. But I also love Joan in Dr. Watson Mode so I couldn’t resist).
