About Me!
Ezra, he/they, transgender, whatever else I'm supposed to write here
mainly a That 70s Show blog but I'm currently obsessed with Always Sunny so there's a bit of that too! as well as (possibly) the occasional Interview With The Vampire and Six of Crows.

Like to charge reblog to cast
My grades, for various sitcoms. If you're curious (you're probably not, lol).
A: Abbott Elementary
A-: That 70s Show, Modern Family, Everybody Hates Chris, The Office, Lizzie McGuire
B+: Young Sheldon, Friends (because of Ross/Ross and Rachel), Wizards of Waverly Place
C: Full House. I loved this show as a kid, but it's not that good, looking back at it. And Big Bang Theory, because I hate adult Sheldon so much.
*****
If you wanna join, and grade some shows you've watched (to at least some extent), go right ahead. Not just sitcoms, either. Grade what you want.:)
I hereby tag @bosesmikas, @tht70sblog, @randomwriter23, @kissandships, @winnie-the-monster, @scaponigifs, @those70scomics, and whoever wants to join. :)
Thank you for the tag! (I'm answering on this blog because I like to save @those70scomics for T7S comics and other fanworks 😊).
This question is tough (for me, at least) because I can grade based on my enjoyment or a more objective evaluation of storytelling. I'll base my grade on an amalgam of the two. I'll put a ♥️ next to shows that get a boost in grading because of my love for it.

There's more, I'm sure, but this is plenty. 😅 And I didn't list shows I've watched in their entirety that I'd grade low because I don't want to "yuck another person's yum," as a friend of mine puts it.

Springsteenicious Fanfic Universe Crossover
I was thinking silly thoughts earlier and I thought: What if the versions of the characters from my longer fics met each other?
I count Where The Ocean Ends, Poems For Ivy, and The Queen Of All My Dreams as my longer fics.
PFI Hyde and TQOAMD Hyde would learn what WTOE Hyde did and they'd attack him. It would be mutiny. After the attack, TQOAMD Hyde would yell at PFI Hyde for a while about abandoning his daughter, plus the whole marrying Sam thing. Jackie from PFI would give WTOE Jackie and TQOAMD Jackie therapy. She would mother them. She'd be so upset about what they've gone through. They would also be upset about what Hyde did to her. Eric from WTOE would be confused about why PFI Eric and TQOAMD Eric are bisexual. He would be wondering why he isn't. TQOAMD Donna and PFI Donna would be disgusted at WTOE Donna. TQOAMD Donna would be fascinated by PFI Donna's bisexuality. WTOE Donna and PFI Donna would think the whole Red Lady thing was badass. WTOE Kelso and PFI Kelso would be freaked out by the whole dying and coming back to life in TQOAMD thing. TQOAMD Fez would be wondering what the hell he's doing in the other universes, because he's not really a part of those fics. He'd be pretty happy about dating Buddy in WTOE, though.
I would love to hear about multiverse interactions for any other writers' fanfic universes!
i am. so sorry if i have ever used the phrase “i have an au where—” and led you to believe that there is an actual fic out there for you to read rather than, at best, a post where i explain the concept, and at worst it is simply something that lives in my brain
if it helps i also wish there was a fic
I'm a little more than halfway through writing Add It Up, my next fanfic project. I'm hoping for about 10 chapters. I will say that this is probably the most out of character fanfic I've ever written. I think it will be more enjoyable if readers know that going into it. It's just a fun, silly, sexy story and I'm a little out of touch with the tone of the show since I haven't watched it seriously in a long time. Also the story doesn't really make sense. Just don't think about too hard <3
Add It Up!
Summary: 1985. Pop rock band Thunderstruck is about to embark on their second tour since lead singer Eric Forman joined the band. The five members have also just moved to Chicago, inadvertently reuniting Jackie Burkhart and Steven Hyde. An incident with the crew leads Jackie to accompany the band on tour. Surrounded by love, they make an attempt to rekindle their friendship.
Some changes from the original draft:
Jenna is now Jenny - she is Eric's love interest in this story. no E/D in this one
Hyde is the rhythm guitarist of Thunderstruck. previously, he was not actually in the band
Kelso's not really in this one. sorry it was just a lot of characters
There's some other stuff that's changed but it's either sort of a spoiler or I'm still working it out and haven't fully decided. I will be posting teasers for the story in the form of Thunderstruck albums
sorry I never post anymore I don't know what to talk about anymore lol. right now I have good news bad news
bad news: those Christmas one shots are probably just not happening anymore. I just don't really have it in me. they might get finished one day but not anytime soon
good news: I've restarted another old draft, similar to what I did with Poems For Ivy. I've started working on Add It Up again and I'm having a lot of fun with it. I'm planning about 10 chapters total and I'm on chapter 5 now. I will try to post more often about it as I keep writing
let me know if you want a summary post about Add It Up, I know it's been awhile since I talked about it at all! most of the stuff in the tag is no longer accurate but still fun to look at. if I end up doing a summary post I'll tell you what's different in this new draft
🙌🟥🦗
🙌What's a line or paragraph of yours that you're proud of?
Hyde woke up slowly. He sighed and rubbed his eyes, then turned onto his side. Jackie's face beamed at him from behind the thin glass of the picture frame on his dresser. He scowled at the picture and turned it down so that Jackie's paper face was smiling at nothing.
After a moment, he turned the photo back to its original state, Jackie smiling at him once again. It was one of the few things she'd let him keep after clearing her furniture out of his room.
I've always been very happy with the opening of The Queen Of All My Dreams. I struggled with how to start it for a while, then found a moment where everything was normal right before it all falls apart. I think I did a good job introducing the story as well as Hyde's emotional state.
🟥How long do you spend in edits?
For fanfic, not very long. Editing is typically a read-through of what I have, making sure it flows well and there's little to no typos. Depending on how long it is, this takes a couple days to a couple weeks. I love editing fanfic because I love reading my writing, lol.
🦗Do you write in sequence or jump around?
I typically write in sequence unless there's a particular scene I'm really excited about. I have a small collection of scenes I wrote out before they actually came up, and some of them never made it into the final.
Thanks for the ask!
Hiya, Ezra! 😁 for the ask game? I hope you're doing well!
😁What makes you happiest? New fic comments, kudos, bookmarks, user subscribers, story subscribers, or Tumblr asks?
I would say Tumblr asks! There's something special about them. And I love talking about my stories and projects. Comments are a very close second, I love getting those ao3 emails!

^^^ With all the That 70s Show fic I've written that you have yet to read 👀 ...
Would love to answer a few of these, it’s a ‘Snow day’ today, and I’ve missed before no on here. I’ve also really missed fanfic. Writing it, posting it, and reading it. ❤️🩹
Finished the sequel to Dennis in Drag! This one is called Down On My Knees (after lyrics from Like A Prayer). Victoria and Joyce return, and this time Mac is ready for it.
hi! happy new year! sorry I've been gone!
I had top surgery two weeks ago and even though I had a relatively easy recovery I have not been as creatively active as I would have liked. so those Christmas one shots I said I would write are just becoming normal one shots. I will post them at some point, whenever I finish them. but I promise they will get done!
hope everyone is doing well and that the holidays were enjoyable! I have a longer fic I'm hoping to work on for this year, but I won't say anything about it yet in case it doesn't work out
some things that I wrote for the very last chapter of WTOE will no longer be true once the Christmas fic comes out. this is because I don't what I was on about having Eric and Donna get married almost immediately after getting together. I don't think I understood my own timeline of events. they will still have their daughter and she will be the same age. but they will be married a bit later
final results of the poll had a tie between Where The Ocean Ends and Erica/Donna & Jack/Hyde! tbh the best results I could have possibly asked for! I have a solid idea for the gender bend, I just need to figure out the WTOE situation. but I love writing for that universe no matter what, so it will be good.
I want to write something for Christmas but I don't know what. so pick one of these options
Christmas one-shot
Poems For Ivy-verse
Where The Ocean Ends (post-Donna don't worry)
Erica/Donna and/or Jack/Hyde
Season 8 rewrite Christmas episode
something brand new
prompts? ideas? reblog and tell me
I am open to doing multiple, just let me know in the comments if you want more than one
