Fanfic ask game! (this is really hard because going through the list I wanna ask like 5 different questions but i know i need to limit myself)
A. How did you come up with the title to Chart a Course to Second Chances
E. If you wrote a sequel to Risking Rejection (For a Chance at Acceptance), what would it be about?
Two of my absolute favourites, with Risking Rejection being my first ever fanfic I read
(apologies for being so sonic fic-centric 😭)
No apologies necessary! I know a lot of my current followers are here for Sonic, and I've said before, I still love talking about Sonic fics. I really only get cagey with Sonic fic asks when I'm actively posting a fic for something else. Like, on the same day, lol. It's more of a timing issue. But this ask game is for all fics, including Sonic, so whatever your favorite fic is, ask away! <3
A. How did you come up with the title to Chart a Course to Second Chances
Aww, I was hoping I still had my notes when I was coming up with the title! I remember I had like, eight or nine that I was workshopping. I loved my working title for this fic (it was "all the way on the fucking islands" while it was a WIP lol), so it was really hard to break away from that. The problem with having joke titles for my WIPs is that I get really attached to them xD
But I knew I wanted it to relate to travel since we were bouncing between the three islands. I also wanted it to capture the feeling of Sonic's and Tails's lives starting over, in a way? Their second chance at finding a family within each other, when they couldn't on Christmas and Cocoa Island. But yeah, travel, taking fate into your own hands by charting your own destiny, and second chances were all the main themes in my head when I came up with it! I'm really proud of it, even if I can't remember how I settled on it, lol.
E. If you wrote a sequel to Risking Rejection (For a Chance at Acceptance), what would it be about?
I don't think that fic needs a sequel, honestly! As much as I enjoy the movies, it's not a universe I have much of a desire to play in when left to my own devices.
A sequel to that fic in particular would probably have everyone visiting Tom at the hospital and maybe Tails having a proper talk with Maddie about how he was feeling that day. But I don't know. That fic is pretty much a one and done for me, but I'm really glad you liked it! I did have a lot of fun while writing it, and I'm happy with how my take on movie Sonic turned out <3
Thank you for stopping by to ask, 1upniall! I'm so happy those two fics are some of your absolute favorites!
