I'd gladly read them both! But I'm going to vote for the Teachers AU for the fluff-factor :)

I love them both but I'm always a sucker for Teacher AUs

@lapiccolina replied to your post “Alright, what I’ve got lined up for tonight is a bit different....”

Teachers for me but you'll know I'll read whatever!

 @pobmmm replied to your post “Alright, what I’ve got lined up for tonight is a bit different....”

Teachers AU for me. But I'll read whatever you put out into the world.

I love both of them so much.... but I love the season 2 AU!! you are amazing so do whatever you like tho I would read anything you wrote for sure

Awww thank you so much to everyone for giving me your opinions on this!! :) The teachers AU won 12 to 5 - but for those of you who wanted the Season 2 AU, don’t worry, that’ll definitely be the next multi-chapter fic that I take on after I finish another of my current fics!

I've always wondered how people do it, and it's really easy!! Will try it soon, thanks for the tip!!

I figured there were probably people who didn’t know how :) That’s why I tried to keep it short and to the point

bombop replied to your photo “Open to anyone who wants a FitzSimmons-themed packet of goodies this...”

This is amazing! I've just filled mine. We should make some kind of swap! Wish I could send you some FS cookies as a thank you!!

Just pass along the happiness to other people :) (and any of the stuff you end up not wanting)

@bombop ha dicho: I know reeeeeally well that feeling… if you need someone to talk to I will be working late :)

Thank you for the offer... I just don’t think I could be pleasant company for anyone tonight.

12 & 23 for the ask? =)

12. Have you ever written a fic and decided never to publish it? Why?

Not finish writting, but yes, I have stopped writting something because I considered that it would provoke a viciously negative reaction in fandom, and I don’t have the energy for that. There is a Fitzskimmons fic half-written in my drafts that someday I would like to turn into an original story, because I don’t think people on fandom would want it.

23. What’s the nicest review you’ve ever gotten?

Probably any by @stillnotapepper, who is a ray of sunshine and always brightens my day and makes me believe my writing is worth way more than what it actually is.

Thank you for the ask! 

Ask me something from the Fanfic Author Meme!

34 & 48 for the ask??

34. Was there any fic that you wrote that really surprised you in the fandom reaction? Was it just by the numbers or did they take it an entirely different way?

Several. 

A June Wedding (one day I’ll stop talking about this fic) got a WAY bigger response than I ever would have expected. Like, I’m still mindblown almost two years later. Did you know when you get more than 25 comments on a chapter, AO3 creates a second page for them? Because I learned that with that fic. Amazing. 

It Sucks to be You was one where I got a negative response I didn’t expect. It’s a bodyswap fic, and I was exploring some elements of trans-ness (since it was Fitz and Simmons swapping bodies) with the idea that their gender/pronouns etc didn’t change just because their bodies had. I had the other characters... not exactly being the most sensitive shall we say? And on one chapter I put a note saying “X misgenders Y in this one, just a heads up”. In the following chapter, another character misgendered someone, but through the course of the chapter, I tried to show the thought process that brought them around to seeing how wrong they were to do that. It was that second chapter that got the negative response. It surprised me because I’d expected it on the first one and hadn’t gotten it. 

The other example that comes to mind is both times when I ran the ficathon, the winning fic didn’t have much of a response on AO3 even though the ficathon had a lot of participation on tumblr. This time I said something, but the first time I just stewed in my unhappiness. Saying something was defininitely the better way to go :) (#commentsquad)

48. Does anyone you know from outside of fandom know you write fanfic? Are they involved in the same fandom too?

Yup. Most of my friends and some of my coworkers know that I write fic in my free time. They don’t really read it themselves (for any fandom), but they think it’s a cool hobby to have :)

ask me something!

@bombop ha dicho: yep spanish speaker also here! (but the translation is quite good btw) why would he want to stay in there??? can’t wait to see tonight ep!!

Not Fitz, but the version of him in The Framework, the one that has no memories from his real life? (I’m not a big fan of the “he sees Jemma and remembers everything!!!” trope) The one who leads a comfortable, luxurious life, even if it is not filled with love and with care? I can see himself having doubts, because who are these women who want to drag him away from everything he knows? Heck no, he is staying right where he is. I know it won’t be canon, and I don’t want it to be canon, but it is an idea that opens a nice sandbox where I can play!
