A Floundering Author

I write. Guess I'm a writer! This is my blog for Without Red and any other nonsense I put together. Also a good way to check if I'm alive I guess.

[merrinbrite]

This is some sort of greeting I think...

Well here's to this blog and whatever writer things I may be doing!

Currently working on Without Red, an (Explicit) UF!sans/reader fanfic posted on AO3. Will probably be working on that for the next 2 3-4 years of my life and EXCITED TO DO SO.

I'm a little out of the social loop. No idea what people do on these things, but it occurs to me that having a blog for communications is probably helpful so HERE WE ARE.

Current long-fic: Without Red

Artwork by the lovely @mediocre-artist <3

For fanart, the tag is #wr fanart

I'm going to post it as soon as I figure out the last line. I am so close and yet so far....

[merrinbrite]

Turns out the last line was also the TITLE. Oh well, it is what it is. We're up!

Sans, I am THE yearner in this relationship. You can't win.

Anyways does anyone have tips on drawing faster.

[aqilartchive]

this didn't exactly happen (i think?) but i thought of this while reading The Purest Soul by @sinnabon-the-skeleton i got giddy

i dont think i got the braids or the trinket right, but it isn't very visible....

[sinsational-sinnabon]

Stars, I keep opening this repeatedly and then immediately closing it when I see Sans’s face because I start blushing too hard.

@aqilartchive YOU SPOIL ME and ILY so much. I have so many emotions about how perfect this is. Seeing my little story come to life in your gorgeous art style is such a treat for me!

The softness in his eyes as he looks at her!!! Her expression and her outstretched arms, inviting him in!! 😭 You even included the necklace and blindfold. I’m so so happy my writing can inspire you to draw beautiful things like this.

You better believe I’m coming after you for more art. Please draw all my silly Sans’s! 💖✨💖✨💖✨😩👌🏻

(And he’d just helped undo her braids so this is actually perfectly accurate ;) 🥳💙)

OMGOMG when i say im giggling like a highschool teenage girl getting accepted into her dream university i meant it like that. when i was scrolling, i found Purest Soul and immediately downloaded it in my e-book HAHA!! i have one dialogue between sans and reader when they were cooking circling my thoughts non-stop, and dear god i had to take ten to fifteen minutes to stop smiling like an idiot so i covered myself with a mask to avoid suspicion since i was with others in the car.

you as well spoil us good with your story writing and especially thank you to your friend too for giving you the idea of this fic ❤️❤️!!!!!!! i won't lie that i have been losing touch and a little bored of drawing lately but THE FANFIC LITERALLY moved away the heavy rock in my chest, I love it so much i just had to make it.

AND best believe im working for more LOL!!!! before this piece i had another one in mind but i had to get this done first because it kept itself laying inside of my head 🤣 couldn't resist myself once i got home and opened my tab! (while i was drawing sans' part it was pretty hard to stay calm and focused LOL)

happy that you love it 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️

[merrinbrite]

Reblogging this properly now at dumb in the morning-- oh my goodness this is SO BEAUTIFUL, like how is your style so gorgeous?? Reader looks and feels like a real person and I also noticed the blindfold and necklace!!!! 😭❤️ The ripples in the water are also so perfect??? I was so, SO hoping that someone would do fanart of specifically this scene (I cannot draw for my life) and to see it like this is just so beautiful and touching, Sans is literally so sweet, I WANNA CHEW ON HIS SMILE THE LYING JERK I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. The browbones are PEAK👌. I feel like I just got fanart for my favorite fic, heck my own fic, I am giggling and screaming and kicking my feet!! 🤭❤️ Great job OP, literal work of art 🎨

[merrinbrite]

Chapter 35 of Without Red is up for better or for worse! Enjoy! 😁

[cloudabserk]

WARNING do NOT start reading books and comics or watching movies or looking at art!!! you will start wanting to create art yourself. or god forbid. writing.

So @sinnabon-the-skeleton finished "The Purest Soul 💙", one of the fics from her Butterfly Effect series. I have been here for the whole journey and I'm admittedly a little teary!! If you like Sans/reader romance with a very invested Sans as much as I do, you should read it ❤️

This fic has meant the world to me. I can't thank you enough ❤️

The Purest Soul 💙

It’s finally time to introduce some new boys!

This is Cass (Casanova) (papyrus) and Lux (Luxury) (sans)

These two are the first in a set of ‘lust’ au variants- in this case specifically LustfFell!

I designed these two (Or really their outfits) in collaboration with @teasnarker92 for one of her current writing projects!

This was a really fun project for me, cause I love drawing cool (alternative) clothes- so I had a grand old time working on these :D

I’ll post the other sets of brothers as they show up in the story as well! So keep an eye out!

[merrinbrite]

For anyone curious who has been able to detect even a *hint* of strange things happening in Without Red, I'm here to report that by now, there are enough clues hidden (and some in plain sight, lol) throughout the fic for a very clever anyone to piece together what is going on. If you figure it out, kudos! It's probably not obvious, but it's doable. We've got (hopefully) 14 or so chapters more before this arc (finally) comes to an end so I'll do my best to write us there as fast as I can! 😅

[merrinbrite]

I had this thought because a lot of people are really pleased with the Sans POVs I drop for y'all every once in a while (I promise there will be many more to come 😉): while his POV is the only insight that we get into what's going on in his head (which makes it fair to examine), the most blatant clues for this puzzle are actually from reader's perspective (not to mention that *almost* every chapter has some clue in it). Maybe this was obvious since there aren't a lot of Sans POVs to begin with, but for anyone looking for anything, that's my suggestion for direction!

Anyway, time to keep writing Chapter 35. We've got so much to do!

[merrinbrite]

I accidentally finished Chapter 34 of Without Red which I'll be posting in a few hours :) Keep an eye out for it! :D

idk if this is controversial or not, but I really like when non-professional writing like fic has hints of author bleedthrough when it comes to like, what different people assume is common knowledge. Like sometimes I’ll be reading a fic and it’ll just be obvious that the person writing it is either obsessed with medicine or has been to medical school, because they’ll use terms that are just a shade too technical without explaining them. It’s never the super specific stuff that they’d know other people are unaware of, it’s always the things that once you’ve known it for a while you forget it’s niche knowledge. It’s fun because as a fanfic reader it reminds me of how this is a fun hobby community, where everyone has their own thing going on outside of fandom. Everyone’s got their own specialties and they can’t help but write that into their work sometimes

[chimaerakitten]

…well this post sure took off
