"Cadence" Masterlist Updated as of 06/16/2023 Rated 'M' for mature themes

Ao3 Link -> here. Cadence "B-sides" -> here. Also I have a Wolfstar Brokeback Mountain Au -> here.

Hi, my name is mot and I like to write! Below you'll find a few commonly asked questions about me and my fic "The Cadence of Part-time Poets". If you're new here, have a poke around to see if I can answer any questions you might have. Otherwise, feel free to send me a msg x.

Do you know when you'll be releasing Part 2? Nope! See this ask for details.

Do you have any playlists? Yes! It being a band fic, I think about music a lot. Here are the playlists for Part 1 in order of school years. Year 11 -> Year 12 -> Year 13 -> Gap Year (Bonus: Tonya playlist)

How long will "Cadence" be/how many chapters? I've chosen to split Cadence up into a 'duology' of sorts. Part 1 will cap out at 107 chapters + an epilogue. Part 2's length is so far unknown.

When will the fic end [timeline-wise]? Part 1 covered September 1975 - early summer 1979 Part 2 of the fic [band years] will begin mid-summer 1979 & end in December 1999. See this post for more.

Can I translate the fic into ___ language? Yes! I'm open to all translations, provided I'm credited as the original author. Please send me a direct msg first so I can ensure the translation is linked on the fic's mainpage.

Can I upload the fic to Wattpad or any other site? NO. Please consider "Cadence" an Ao3 exclusive.

Can I bind "Cadence" into physical copies? Yes, so long as it's just for personal use. Though I'd recommend holding off until I've at least uploaded all of Part 1, as I regularly flip through the fic and make tiny edits. If you do ever end up binding the fic, please send me photos! I'd love to see them.

Do you have any fan-casts? I did originally, but as of now I'm trying to pull away from fan-casts. If you're really adamant, I have a list on my previous FAQ, linked here. I doubt I will be updating it anymore.

Did you write [x] song? Yes, probably. Unless explicitly stated, I've written all of the songs the characters/band writes and performs. This means that they have the potential to be absolute shite, but it's written word so everyone "hears" it differently anyway. If someone can figure out a way to make John Bonham's 17 minute "Moby Dick" drum solo sound good on paper, pls let me know.

Will there be jegulus/jily/jegulily? Sorry, I don't want to commit to anything before I really know what it looks like. But no jegulily.

Will Tonya ever return? Not in any significant capacity, no. That doesn’t mean we’ll never see her again, but she’s served her purpose as of now. I have my own story for her in my head, as for what it is, that’ll remain a mystery for a while.

What about Tonks??? Sorry, but I will not be answering any asks about Tonks. Even the positive ones seem to stir up fandom dust and I'm actually allergic :^) But just so we're clear, Tonks WILL feature in Part 2 of the fic, as will Teddy. If this isn't your thing, or you're not willing to trust my judgement as a writer, then please don't read it.

I don't like/want/agree with [x, y, z]! Okay! It's a fan fic. I try and keep everything as period-accurate and as accurate to character as I can, but things are bound to slip through the cracks sometimes. The rest of it—well that's just my choice, which is what it really comes down to :)

thank you so much for tonya !! favorite character of all time 🖤 i am her & she is me

[motswolo]

hey cutie!! my friend recently got me into your amazing fic and i love it so much you have no idea. the sense of community it brings and the love i can’t. i was wondering if you had any ideas you were willing to share or memories you have while you wrote part one. love you!!

Aw this is so cute.

I tell this story to everyone because it’s just so cinematic in my brain but when I was first writing Cadence I put all of my plot points on sticky notes and hung them up in my closet so they could easily be rearranged. Every time I wrote a part that was on a sticky note I got to take the note down like some pseudo-Christmas calendar.

Anyway so fast forward several months, we’re still in the throes of post-COVID, and I’ve been locked up in my room since lock-down — I was in university then and had recently moved back in with my parents — writing all the time — yes, my parents were concerned. They know about the fic now and my dad even found it online recently. It was mortifying. Thanks Goodreads — and my dad comes in while I’m writing on my bed. I’ve got the biggest closet in the house and he says he’s got to put something on the top shelf. I’m a moody gal in my early twenties with a record player and a crippling yaoi addiction so I ignore him in favour of writing whatever love confession Remus is giving Sirius in his inner monologue before I remember.

The sticky notes.

It’s crazy. I have written things like “insert funny one liner about dead mothers” and “look up how many miles from ? To ??” The bloody boner chapter is in there. My handwriting’s terrible because I wrote them in a hurry thanks to the divine inspiration that was bestowed upon me by whatever righteous force handles The Gays.

It was too late. My dad opened the closet doors and whoosh the little scraps of paper came fluttering down like feathers during duck season. (I like this line. I may use it in something in the future.)

For those who are wondering, yes I’m sure I handled it well. Like any good writer I leapt out of bed and scooped my magnum opus up off the floor along with a handful of cat hair. There may have been some hissing involved — not from the cat — but that was really the least of my father’s worries.

He told me later that he was just happy I wasn’t doing drugs. The neighbour’s son did ketamine during lockdown and ended up in the hospital. I’m happy to report I’ve never done ketamine, but I have researched what it’s like to do ketamine on a patchy sofa in London, 1978.

my new tcoptp wallpaper!!!!!! @motswolo

dear sophie (in my head this is your name even though i know i am way off),

as i read tcoptp i feel the need to write this. i would like to start by saying, thank you for existing. your existence has made by day and my reading experience magnificent. i hope wherever you are, you are having an amazing time, amazing day, amazing life. i have always found authors beyond their time (they either take an indefinite sabbatical or dissappear by the time i have found them) and for a time i thought i had lost you too, which is dramatic, but a few days ago you posted about your day and it brightened up my day. Not because i thought you were back to writing or had an update but just knowing you were having coffee somewhere was very relieving to know. I will not extend this much. i hope you are having a great time and this brings a smile to your face when you read this. take care and enjoy your life.

love,

A

I could be a Sophie. And some days I think that if I could take an indefinite sabatical from the internet without it tremendously impacting my life, I would.

This was such a lovely message, I hope you're also having a great time.

I'm having tea today x

[motswolo]

Heyyy disillusioned 20-something Canadian living in the UK (Edi) as well here :/ the lack of sun all of 2026 has been actually insane. I feel so blessed to feel the warmth of it again 😭

Just wanted to share that I still come to your work for comfort on those tough days. No matter how many times I’ve read it, I’ve got a list of chapters to go back to that warm my soul when nothing else will.

You’re amazing and I wish nothing but the best for you. Here’s to finding ourselves 🩷

Ah 🚬 I remember the Edinburgh haze well. I finished my degree there, and although I spent many a late night at the library, surviving on only lukewarm iced tea packets from home and Mór's vegan sausage rolls, it was actually the colossal wind tunnel that is Prince's Street that gave me the most PTSD.

[motswolo]

Hii! Just popping here because i randomly thought about you and wondered how you’re doing. Hope everything’s alright.🫶🏽

Hi, this is really nice. (Actually it's just the most recent of some really lovely messages people have sent to check in on me over the last year.) I'm just living in my life and like most 20-somethings currently disillusioned with my job and and wondering where I'll be this time next year. But the sun is shining in London again, I have a brunch date with an old coworker and I may even take a book to a coffee shop afterwards. Not too bad a plan for a Sunday, I'd say.

“Now go on, it’s your turn," Sirius smiled, patting him on the arm. The touch was gentle enough that Remus found himself staring down at his arm afterwards as his next question materialised in his mind.

Why is it so easy for you to touch me?
