i wrote 600 words today. life is worth living 🎵

what's a pairing you wish there was more fic for?

[perfectlyrose]

all i want to do is write that one fic that takes people’s breath away and kinda lingers in the back of their minds. i want to write something that makes people want to make art and play with my versions of characters or in the universe i created. i want to be able to create worlds that feel real enough to walk into and write lines that stick with people until they forget where exactly they heard it because it lives in their bones now.

[cuprun]

your mcdrai fics!!!!!!!! Oh my God they're all SOOO good. Thank you for your service ❣️❣️❣️

ahhh thank you!!! i’ve got another one about 75% done and another at 50% so hopefully i have more to offer you so soon ♥️

[cuprun]

current fic writing related google inquiries include "can you have touch id on a phone without a home button," "university of toronto hoodies," and, of course, "what number picks in eighth round nhl draft" if this gives you any insight into my current project

[cuprun]

months and MONTHS of having ideas with no motivation to write and now i have motivation to write and ive sat down at my laptop and i have no IDEASSSSS

[cuprun]

scrolling through my twice-abandoned google docs (as in, i’ve abandoned the platform, and some of my wip docs never got transferred to ellipsus because they didn’t make the cut) and damn i was deep in leonner angst after the back to back finals loss. and who among us wasn’t

ask game: 3,4, 18 :)

3 ⧽. what's something you like about your writing?

i like the way i create things. does that make sense? like, i think i have some skill when it comes to new ideas or approaching old ideas from new angles. that’s the fun of this whole thing for me!

4 ⧽. is there an au or trope that you haven't written before, but would want to try?

i’d love to do some kind of insane crackship crossover nobody would ever see coming but taken entirely seriously and with full commitment. a hobama moment, if you will.

18 ⧽. how do you want your writing to feel to your readers?

i want it to feel like they’re reading something that someone really loved creating. like, a human being made this on purpose and enjoyed it! who knew that would end up being a point of contention in some fandom spaces

[cuprun]

4 + 10!! 🍀

4 ⧽. is there an au or trope that you haven't written before, but would want to try?

sex pollen!!! SEX POLLEN!!! for all my proselytizing about sex pollen i cannot BELIEVE i haven’t actually written anything for it. who in the nhl do we think is the most likely to get sex pollened. who’s eating an unmarked homemade chocolate or cookie in a single plastic bag a fan traded them for a puck via a pre-game warmup sign. taking suggestions

10 ⧽. what genre is generally the easiest or most enjoyable for you to write? which is the hardest?

a three way tie for easiest is angst/horror/comedy. the first two because it’s what i loooove to read and what i really cut my teeth writing when i got into fanfiction and the third because i’m a clown.

and i find romance the hardest, which is maybe ironic? i’m always struggling to figure out the most fitting way to have relationships progress and how much of what feeling the characters are going through. i just think it’s soooo easy to have that stuff feel unearned and i’m always trying to stave that feeling off!

[thephilosophersapprentice]

Send me an ask with the first sentence of a fanfic and I’ll write the next five.

Saw this on @resting-meme-face‘s blog and wanted to try it.

[cuprun]

sadism. like straight up don't gaf if the other person's a masochist kinda sadism

ehhhh… 2/5 stars? i think it would depend on the execution here pretty heavily — personally in the fic i enjoy either as a reader or writer i prefer all involved characters to be, like, into or on board with whatever dynamic they’re engaging with, even (and often especially) if they’re doing it poorly or improperly or without communicating it to each other etc etc. i don’t know that i’d seek this interpretation out but i’d be intrigued by a story that was able to pull that balancing act off!

[cuprun]

somno, voyeurism, public sex

somno is a ⭐️/5 for me. i have nothing against it and wouldn’t necessarily avoid a fic for having it but for me it’s kind of a nothingburger of a kink. i don’t think i’d ever write it because i don’t think i could find the hook in it for me, you know? like, i’m not really an omegaverse reader, but i have a couple wips of my own because i can find the hook that makes it interesting for me and my narrative purposes. somno doesn’t have that for me.

voyeurism and public sex are like a 3.5/4 stars each depending on execution. y’all know me i LOVE a character concerned with seeing and being seen and watching and being watched and who they are in the eyes of others and who other people are in their eyes

teratophilia

i didn’t know there was an actual name for monsterfuckery! i’m learning so much.

this one is a complicated one for me because i hold two opinions:

1. if you’re going to do monsterfucking you can’t be a coward about it. if it would work in a YA novel (vampires, werewolves, idk… ghosts?) then it’s not monsterfucking. that’s just a guy. i think you should commit! i will only respect COMMITMENT!

but also, 2. i personally am not interested in reading or writing smut with non-human anatomy. i think monsters can be very sexy but i also don’t find the written word describing the particulars of it appealing in any way.

so like. four stars in theory and a 🚫 in practice.

orgasm denial, dacryphilia, lactophilia, humiliation

orgasm denial, dacryphilia, and humiliation are all solidly ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ to me and are very effective to use in combination with each other. now thats synergy. suffering is sexy if you do it right. and honestly even if you do it wrong. a nice big window. love kinks in stories that allow for the characters to push buttons or strike nerves that nobody was prepared to be struck or pushed. yum!

lactophilia is 🚫. i hold no judgement in my heart for those who feel differently but i cannot read it and would never ever write it. anything related to pregnancy/birth is simply a no-go for me.

[tearsofshane]

I see the fic trope rating game going around but I'd like to do one for kinks instead. feel free to repost & play along <3

Send me a kink and I'll rate it:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ all time fave. need it in my life.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ very good. would like to explore it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ fun to read. probably wouldn't partake.

⭐️⭐️ fine. I'll read it, but with heavy side eye.

⭐️ indifferent. i have no horses in this race.

🚫 hate it. no thank you. not for me at all.

Note: can be as broad or specific as you like eg. impact play vs spanking or face slapping
