I would just like to give a massive shout out to me, personally, for writing exactly the fanfic I want for nearly fifteen years.
Like. Okay. Just think about it. I've got FIFTEEN YEARS of fanfic that is SPECIFICALLY CATERED TO ME PERSONALLY in an archive that I can just GO BACK AND READ WHEN I GET IN THE MOOD.
I've got more than one OTP for more than one fandom. I can get nostalgic about a show and go "Oh hang on, didn't I write a fic for that?" and FIND IT EASILY.
AND THEN ALSO BECAUSE I HAVE FRIENDS WHO LINK THEIR FICS TO MINE I CAN GO THROUGH THEIR FICS AS WELL and it's GLORIOUS.
Writing fanfic isn't just a present to fandom, it's a present to future you. Remember that.
#fanfiction#i've been drowning in my own zoscar feels and guess what#i wrote so much fic about that so I can wallow and also write more!

[Image ID: a bookcover-style illustration of Zolf and Oscar from Rusty Quill Gaming at a cafe. At the top, the name of the cafe and the fic is prominently displayed as "Coriander". The author's AO3 handle "Queercore_Curriculum" is displayed underneath. Oscar sits at a table outside the cafe. He is writing with a fountain pen in a notepad and smiling coquettishly at Zolf through the window. Zolf stands inside at the espresso machine. He is pulling espresso into a macchiato cup and frowning back at Oscar, blushing deeply. In front of Oscar sit two novels: Persuasion by Jane Austen and Hearts of Fire by Harrison Cambell. Among the internal decor of the cafe is a poster of Judy Garland in A Star is Born. A carving of a green carnation adorns the store front. The artist's tag "lucky-numberme" is faintly visible in the corner. End ID]
This week in fics that fundamentally altered my brain chemistry, Coriander by @queercore-curriculum

[ID: Digital fan art of Wilde and Zolf from Rusty Quill Gaming, drawn in sepia tones. They are shown from the shoulders down, sitting next to each other on a couch. Their hands are resting near each other, not quite touching. Wilde is wearing a white button-up shirt and dark pants, and holding a glass in one hand. Zolf is wearing a striped sweater, dark pants, and socks. His prosthetics are visible at the ankles. End ID]

Chapters: 20/20
Fandom: Rusty Quill Gaming (Podcast)
Rating: Not Rated
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Zolf Smith/Oscar Wilde, Grizzop drik acht Amsterdam/Sasha Racket/Vesseek, Commander James Barnes/Howard Carter/Celiquillithon "Cel" Sidebottom
In a universe where alcohol is illegal, Zolf and Oscar run a humble café and the more infamous speakeasy below it, providing a neutral ground for the gangs of the city to relax in relative safety. With business on the up and exciting opportunities just around the corner, they discover that Barret Rackett is back in the city and looking for trouble.
When tragedy strikes Zolf and Oscar must find a way, with help from their most trusted allies, to take down Rackett and his mysterious wealthy benefactor once and for all.
(This fic has explicit sexual content, however, it is within self-contained and clearly-labelled chapters. The work can be read with a rating of T (Teen And Up) if these chapters are skipped.)
After participating with art last year, this year I decided to take a crack at writing for the RQBB and was able to persuade @makesometime that I would be a good writing partner! This is our fic, 60k words of Zoscar speakeasy AU with as many guest appearances as we could squeeze in. Including, with reluctance, Bertie.
Our artist for this collaboration was the incredible @kalgalen and you can find their work on their tumblr here:
https://kalgalen.tumblr.com/post/694733064707899392/my-contribution-to-the-pilesofnonsense-rqbb-2k22
Our beta was the wonderful @eleanor-is-fine (ao3), who remains a phenomenal human being.
Thank you to @pilesofnonsense for running the RQBB this year!

[fic] Heart Fitness (Rusty Quill Gaming) COMPLETE
[ID: A neon sign against dark brickwork. A pink heart sits between blue weight plates like a barbell, and contains the words 'HEART FITNESS' in curly pink font. End ID]
My modern AU RQG fic, for the @podcastbigbang 2022, is finally complete! feat. queerplatonic Zolf/Oscar, subplot Zolf&Sasha; rated T, no warnings; 17 chapters, 40k words
In short order, Zolf Smith lost his career, his religion, his magic, and his other leg. Luckily, at least one of those things is salvageable at Heart Fitness, the gym Azu took over from him which focuses on injury recovery, disability, and catering to non-normative bodies - though the place is in dire need of more funding. When Hamid invites his tailoring client Oscar Wilde to the pub, his first meeting with Zolf is an unmitigated disaster, but he could also have just the right contacts to help the gym. As Wilde’s secrets threaten to plunge them all back into a dangerous life, they might also help Zolf find the strength he doesn’t think he’s lost.
READ FROM THE BEGINNING
with many thanks again to my team, Nossorgs (@nossorgs) and Kit (@shutupeiffel) <3

Murder Most Foul - The End
It’s finally done. The end. Finis. I’ll post a couple of bits of ephemera on here, but that’s definitely it for story.
Definitely.
Probably.
Maybe.

I've had to actively work on the level of negativity toward my work in the authors notes when I post, but the thing is, I'm not trying to be self-depreciating. I'm working on it because it comes off that way, but that's not actually where it's coming from, I'm not sad or being hard on myself. There are just always things I notice and take note of as being things I'd like to do better on next time. It's less that I'm trying to degrade myself and more that I'm constantly looking at my work critically and that's my only outlet to discuss it.
It helps that if I wasn't writing fanfiction I would likely write the thing, and then entirely re-write it, because an entire re-write is the only way I manage to successfully fix my long-term mistakes. But fanfiction just isn't worth that, it makes more sense to just keep track of where I went wrong, things I didn't sell, moments that didn't hit well enough, and mark it down as a learning experience. Since the readers on ao3 are the only people engaging with the work, it makes sense for me to howl at the moon in the beginning and end notes about what I'm not happy with.
I really wish there was more of an allowance in fandom for reasonable negativity from readers toward fanfiction. I feel that getting a negative comment is better than not getting one at all, but not very many people agree. The fact that people are still engaging means something, as long as they're not transparently just being pills for the sake of it. Those people are nothing burgers anyway.
#mostly thinking back to my OP days with this#since rqg is just... well#i get some nice comments that i SO MUCH appreciate but with OP my fics had much more of a following#by virtue of both fandom size and my fics being less spontaneous and self-indulgent and more built to grab attention#plus i know zosan like the back of my hand im STILL figuring out zoscar and let me just say im having so much fucking fun#tags got off topic

"He had long since made the difficult decision to hope against reason, to care despite the pain, to not give up the fight, no matter the odds. He figured that without, he might as well be dead. And what’s the use in that?"
(A little more than one sentence but shhhh)
Shoot me a 🌹[rose emoji] and I'll send you a line from my WIP!

Have a Happy New Year everyone!

I would love a zolf taking care of wilde when he sick?
Request #5, thanks anon!
welp, i meant this to be fluffy and it was not. I don't read too much zoscar fic, so hopefully i haven't copied anybody’s sickfic. Sickfics are one of my favorite types actually.
Enjoy that I actually tried to do semi-realistic eyes for once instead of dots lol
ID below
[ID: A series of four digital drawings with simple gray shading and black scratchy lines.
The first image shows Zolf, a white dwarven man with a long beard in a braid, sitting in a wheelchair. He is wearing a sweater and a collared shirt as well as some earrings. He is leaning and looking away from the viewer and holding a tray with a bowl and a mug on it. He looks nonchalant as he says, “Alright, sit up. I have dinner.”
The second image shows Oscar, whom Zolf was presumably talking to looking up at him with a worried expression and tears in his eyes. He is a white human man with shoulder length wavy white hair. He is wearing a sweater and is tucked under a blanket in a bed. He is asking, “Zolf... am I dying?”
The next image shows Zolf looking down at him worried. He has his fist balled in front of him. He looks mildly panicked.
The next image shows Zolf resting his hand on top of Oscar’s on a blanket. There is a bit of wheelchair visible, but not much else. There is a dialogue bubble from Zolf that reads, “No, not dying, Oscar. We fixed that remember? Just need some rest and good food, that’s all.” End ID]
#rqg#rqg fanart#rusty quill gaming#zolf smith#oscar wilde rqg#zoscar#stuff's art#requests#just want to point out that since it's a little vague I'll spell it out clearly. OSCAR IS NOT DYING#He's just feverish and speaking anxiously#Zolf is worried for him that's all

6, 20, 29 for the ao3 asks <3
Promptly forgot about this one! XD
6.Favorite title you used
The Weight of the World All Falls Away which is from the song Good Riddance from the Hades OST, a song that @lenaellsi introduced to me so I had to make it the title of the fic for her! I love using song lyrics as titles.
20. Which work of yours have you reread the most?
Um, I'm not sure, I don't reread my stuff that often, usually I do it most as I'm editing, so probably Without Faith only because it was so long and I needed to edit it A LOT XD
29. Favorite line/passage you wrote this year?
Wilde's insomnia waxes and wanes as does his depressive episodes, every now and then syncing together like a mournful ballet.
I love writing insomniac Wilde (because I'm definitely not projecting at allllll...) and I loved the wording of that line. It's from You Take Me The Way I Am which is my 2nd fave piece I wrote.
Thanks @astheworldcomestoanend!

Rules: Go to your published works on AO3 and list the first fic you ever published there, the last fic you published, any fic that you wrote for a fandom/ship only once, your favorite fic you wrote in the fandom/ship that has the most works, the fic you wish more people read, the fic you agonized over the most, the fic that sprang fully formed from your mind without any effort, and a work you are proud of—for whatever reason.
First fic published on Ao3: I'm not actually sure. I have a bunch of fics I crossposted from ffn and a few backdated ones I only recently decided to share. Tho it started on an anime forum in 2007, I'm pretty sure I finished Cinnamon and Mistletoe on AO3 after xposting from ffn. It's a Inuyasha x Yuyu Hakusho xover, Kagome/Kurama fluff about them being childhood friends separated by the stuff going on in their respective parents' lives, and now reuniting because their mothers are having a class reunion and everyone's bringing their kids along.
Last fic published: Splash of Red, a Kingmaker Histories drabble character study of one of the secondary characters.
Fandom/ship I only wrote once: There's currently 25 fandoms I've only written one fic for and I'm not going to count the ships. But one I'm particularly fond of is Picking up the pieces - post-canon fic for season 1 of Mirror Mirror, about Jo's mum having to deal with Nick being stuck in the present in the mundane ways that magic time traveling mirrors do not care about. (It's very short and doesn't go into much detail)
Favorite fic in most popular fandom/ship: The one with the disembodied penis - Supernatural crack fic crossed with 19th century Romanian literature. Team Free Will finds a semi-sentient, disembodied dick in a cursebox in the Men of Letter's bunker. Gabriel is somehow responsible for its existence.
My most prolific fandom:
Fic I wish more people read: Stolen - pre-canon The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest fic about Arnaud, the vampire hunter, and his history with the vampire he's hunting. I think it mostly works without knowing the canon.
Fic I agonized over: Tales of Atlantis aka the SGA fic that never ends. We're two stories from the end of the series. I started writing this with a friend in 2010. A lot has happened in 13 years, but we will eventually finish that beast. It started as a forum RP and it grew out of control.
Fic that popped out fully-formed: Frozen - RQG fic I wrote on my way home from work after ep 174. Zoscar hurt/comfort, bc I really needed Wilde to be fine
Fic I'm proud of: In your hands, my first Kane and Feels fic, about Kane binding himself to Hana so he could safely fight off an entity that attacked his partner's subconscious.
Tagging @theothersarshi, @thriceandonce, @flammenkobold, @kristsune with no pressure and anyone who feels like doing it.

twenty questions for fic writers
tagged by @senseandaccountability THANK YOU!
1. How many works do you have on AO3? 200 exactly! I did not know this until I just went and checked.
2. What’s your total AO3 word count? 1,222,468 - I too have been at it for a long time, about fifteen years (and there is more of it on other sites lol)
3. What fandoms do you write for? Rusty Quill Gaming, Baldur's Gate 3, SWTOR (and other star wars related fandoms), Dragon Age, The Magnus Archives, Final Fantasy XIV, uh... and lots of little one offs for books and tiny podcast fandoms.
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
The Mbmbam Archives (mbmbam/magnus crossover) with 949 (this still makes me laugh so much)
Seven Days (RQGaming, Zolf/Oscar) at 458
Sex, Death and Plants or: Four Seasons Total Landscaping (RQGaming AU, Zolf/Oscar/Grizzop) at 425
Willing to Wait for It (RQGaming, genfic) at 394
and
A Little Help (RQGaming, again Zoscar) at 384
Rusty Quill Gaming folks are super super supportive and awesome and I'm forever grateful they went on my dumb journeys with these characters with me.
5. Do you respond to comments? Always! I hope! I know sometimes I miss them when I'm away from my computer but they are definitely always read.
6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Mmmm, angsty-est?? I'm not one really for angsty endings, although I like angst in all the other bits. Probably the fic I wrote where Zolf is mourning Oscar. I honestly can't remember what it was called.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Sex Death and Plants ends in a massive polycule and the take down of a fascist asshole billionaire so I think it deffo qualifies as the happiest of my endings :D.
8. Do you get hate on fics? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm LOL. Never directly. I have reports of people who dislike what I write but they never tell me to my face for some reason, it always gets around to me, usually about two years later, on the underground.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? I do. I love writing smut. I don't write very graphic smut as a general rule but most of my fics will have one or two scenes in it and I've done a couple of kinktobers. Love it.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? I've got a couple. One Dragon Age/Lucifer crossover that I wrote specifically for a friend. One aborted Firefly/Dragon Age Crossover that lives on FF.net I think if that site hasn't destroyed itself.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not that I know of.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated? I've had enquiries about translating some into Russian but I've never actually seen if they followed through.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Yes! Quite a few actually. Some of them haven't been published :D.
14. What’s your all-time favorite ship? I should say Zoscar. So I will. I love them your honour.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will? Gods I got a comment on my old Rebels fic "Talking to Strangers" and I read it again and went "this shit's good I should finish it" but that would involve me actually watching the rest of Rebels and I don't really watch TV any more and it just ends up being too hard.
16. What are your writing strengths? Dialogue and character voices, I think - at least for fic. I have a lot of fun trying to make what characters say feel like it could be lifted directly from the source material but isn't.
17. What are your writing weaknesses? Description. Fucken' hate it. I'll do it but I'll moan about it for every single sentence.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? Very risky IMO and not something I'll do any more although I used to when I first started out. These days I'll write it in English but indicate which language it should be in in other ways.
19. First fandom you wrote for? If we wanna get technical I wrote my first fanfic when I was about ten years old. It was Sherlock Holmes fanfiction (the stories, not the series, since the series didn't come out for another twenty five years lol). Self insert time travel fic. I may still have it somewhere lol.
20. Favorite fic you’ve ever written? I love all my fanfictions equally (I really don't care for Mbmbam Archives). No that was a joke, I really do love all of them, my favourite tends to be the one I'm writing at the present moment. That said honourable mention should go to The Nature of Crystal (G'raha/WOL smut) because that one just arrived fully formed in my head one morning and tickled me.
I'll tag @feralkwe, @wishflower4, @zombolouge @makesometime and anyone else who would like to do it!
