summary:
Family has always been a complicated thing for Aaron and Andrew, but when it comes to sorting their shit out, they've barely even begun. Despite it all, they don't have it within them to stop trying, though.
Turns out, they get that from their father.
(Or: Andrew and Aaron's senior year looks promising for the leaps and bounds made in brotherhood. Enter their dad, stage left.)
frequently asked questions:
faq:
can i bookbind your fanfiction?
for personal and non-profit use only
can i bookbind your fanfiction and give it as a gift?
yes, as long as there's no profit involved
can i share the typeset i created/the typesets i see for your fanfiction?
id ask that you don't share it publicly, only personally, and only in the instance that you can be certain the person you're sharing it with won't use it for profitable means; if you're not certain or you don't know the person you wish to share it with, please don't
can i repost/reupload your fanfiction on any other platform, such as wattpad etc?
no, never reupload or repost my fics anywhere
can i add your fanfiction to things such as goodreads?
no. im aware they're already there. i wish they weren't
can i translate your fanfiction into a different language?
please check to see if there's already a translation before you do, but if there isn't, then i don't mind as long as it's on ao3 only, with credits/links back to the original fanfic. i also lock my fics so they're only accessible for registered ao3 users, so any translations would need to be locked as well.
can i create a podfic for your fanfiction?
yes, with credits/links back to the original fanfic
can i create fanart/fanedits/cosplays/music etc based on your fanfiction?
yes, go for it! have fun and feel free to send me what you create!
can i create fanfiction of your fanfiction (aus of what you've written, or things just set in the universes you've made)?
as long as it's on ao3 with credits/links back to the original fic, then yes, go for it! have fun and feel free to send me what you create!
i have an idea similar to one of your fanfics, or i've been inspired by something you've written; is that okay with you?
that's more than okay with me! i don't own anything or any ideas, and you don't need my permission to write whatever you want! if you want to give credit, that's perfectly okay, but i won't mind if you don't. unless it's my fics copied word-for-word, i don't mind
i think someone has plagiarized your fics, how can i tell you/what should i do?
if it's not copied word-for-word, to be honest, i really don't care. similar writing/similar ideas isn't something i consider plagiarism, personally. if it is copied word-for-word, then you can send me an ask to let me know, and ill go from there
ive found someone selling your fanfiction, what can i do?
i—and many other writers—have done as much as we can to prevent this from happening, but some people don't care. if you come across it, you can report it/the people selling it to hopefully get it taken down. if you're letting me know, please do so off anon in my asks and with a link, or i may assume it's disingenuous, thank you
do you intend to finish all your WIPs?
i would like to, and i certainly intend to, but i will also be following my muse wherever it takes me
one thing i am quite grateful to Brian David Gilbert for is the phrase "If you needed ME to tell you that... I'm glad I told you that."
it has been etched into my brain for the past six years, fundamentally altering how i consider knowledge gaps held by others, as well as myself. people usually need to be told stuff before they can know it! that's how knowing stuff works! this is an extreme example played for laughs but it's a legitimately helpful philosophy!!
reaching the point of hyperfixation where I can no longer engage with it due to the nausea that I experience at the mere thought of seeing it on my screen is the closest I’ve ever been to being diagnosed with female hysteria
Now listen, I don’t “hate” fictional characters. Because they are fictional. I’ve never had a reason to “hate” a character, I’ve only ever been annoyed by them usually for their writing or their tropes.
However
The boyfriend from Monsters vs Aliens was a fucking pussy and a coward and an ungrateful motherfucker who I would kill without warning. What, your wife-to-be turned into a beautiful white-haired giantess and you ran away like a little bitch? I HATE HIS ASS!!
I love when people ask "how did you learn this skill?" I just started, there's no secret. that's it. a vast majority of the time the only thing holding you back is your trepidation to start.
no sorry i dont really use instagram, i can contact you via ouija board, spirit box, fluctuations in temperature, flickering lights, and certain rituals. i am also on tumblr.
