My AO3 Dashboard

Hello all! I've signed up for this year's Fandom Trumps Hate event! :D

Here is the link to their blog, @fandomtrumpshate

If you're interested in what I'm offering this year, you can find it listed here.

The 3 fandoms/pairings I'm offering to write this year are:

Harry Potter (Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy)

Draco Malfoy's New Guide to Old-Fashioned Dating (Rating: Teen & Up Audiences)

Trigun (Vash the Stampede/Nicholas Wolfwood)

Help! My Stalker's an Alien! (Rating: Explicit)

and Detective Conan (Hattori Heiji/Kudo Shinichi)

It All Started with a Goldfish Ghost (Rating: Teen & Up Audiences)

Toxins, Flowers and Confessions (Rating: Teen & Up Audiences)

Merry Christmas, Heiji! (Rating: Explicit)

The Mermaid Prince (Rating: Teen & Up Audiences)

Adventures in Matchmaking (Rating: Teen & Up Audiences)

The Captive Prince of Dresea (Rating: Mature)

A Bullet, an Omamori and a Promise (Rating: Teen & Up Audiences)

I've written the most for Detective Conan, and just one piece each for Harry Potter and Trigun, but they should be long enough for people to skim to get my style and characterizations.

If you have any questions for me, please feel free to reach out and ask! I'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas :)

Have a great one! :D

I love your art! It's so gorgeous and full of emotion! I can't wait to see what you make next ❤️ I also love your essays that you write - they're always so well thought out and interesting to read, even if I'm unfamiliar with the source material! I just love to watch you talk about what you love 😊 I hope you have a great day! 💕

Hi!! Thank you so much for taking the time to send me this lovely ask!! You are always so nice to me about my art, so I hope I can do a good job on the commission this time 💪

I really appreciate that you take the time to read my essays even though you don't know the source material, especially since I do actually spend time trying to make it accessible to people who haven't read kaihen/birdmen/whatever thing I'm writing about yet. In some ways, people like you are the target audience!! So I'm glad it's reaching you and you're willing to spend the time to listen to me ramble!

I hope you have a lovely day as well!!

HeiShin #6 for the One Liner Writing Prompts, if you'd be so kind! :D

6. I’m not jealous!

"I'm not jealous. I'm never jealous." Heiji scoffs, gesturing emphatically with his drink to underline his point.

Kazuha takes a napkin to wipe the drops off the table. Not breaking eye contact as she does it.

"What?" Heiji asks. It feels too loud even in his own ears but the bar is already so loud he doesn't think it matters. Everything is too loud. He needs to drink more.

"You're like, the most jealous person ever." Kazuha tells him and Heiji's mouth falls open in affront. He sputters trying to find the words to explain to her how wrong she is. She silences him with a lifted brow.

Heiji decidedly, does not pout. He does mutter into his drink hoewever only to find his glass nearly empty.

With a sigh, Kazuha grabs the tablet from their table and orders some more.

"It's just-" Heiji starts as her focus is on the screen, trying to decide between two cocktails. She glances up at him. "Why wouldn't he take me along?" He finishes.

Kazuha sighs, ordering something before she crosses her arms over the table. She shrugs. "You know how he is. He probably got so wrapped up in the case he forgot other people exist." She says and Heiji knows she has been telling him a version of that sentence several times tonight. It doesn't make it easier to accept.

"Yeah but I guess he remembers Kaito." He grumbles and Kazuha leans across the table to pat his head.

thanks for asking!

For the More Fic Writer Asks, I'd love to hear more about your writing and editing process! 17 and 1 if you have the time, please! :)

17. talk about your writing and editing process

my process is very chaotic so brace yourself

most of the time i start with dialogue. i mentioned it a few times i think but a lot of times an exchange of dialogue is the scaffolding that i build the scene around of. 221 Beika Street is the best example i think it started with this bit of dialogue

“You want us to live and work together?”

“Like Holmes and Watson.”

“Am I Watson in this scenario?”

“Well, you already have a cane-”

and it all went from there. sometimes i’ll have ideas for whole scenes that i write down and think about context later but thats usually when i already have a vague plot or premise in mind. second chapter of Law’s Eleven from zoros pov was just short single paragraphs that i then expended upon

i tend to get my ideas when im lying in bed so they get dumped into my telegram chat with myself or random docs so that ends up looking like that

when im trying to gather all the pieces i pull them all into a full doc vaguely in order so i dont lose anything. i make a copy and depending how polished the bits are i either work directly in the collection or rewrite in a new doc with the other one open on the same screen

if i already have a plot in mind or its an ongoing project with multiple chapters i might also have bullet points for plot beats or character stuff. Lucky Charm definitely requires that bc its like complicated deductions and stuff. future detco au also has a spreadsheet with a timeline and important dates and birthdays. occasionally i’ll also have a spreadsheet for characters and oc’s so with descriptions and traits so i can find it faster.

when im writing on the fic itself and i get stuck i’ll occasionally just put placeholder bulletpoints with what needs to happen and then continue on or a scene is getting its own doc

before i send it to my beta i consolidate all the pieces in one place and read it through at least once if not more times. do some minor edits, add some stuff, delete some stuff, reword. my first language isnt english so sometimes my wording is wack.

my beta does her thing, when things dont make sense or i use the wrong words she’ll make a comment and ill look over it again or she’ll make suggestions

when shes done i usually wait until to post until saturday to tuesday around 9pm my time

1. the last sentence you wrote

the last sentence i wrote is from the nami pov snippet so i shared that already and the one before that is a spoiler so i’ll share this wip

For a prompt, what about using one of these quotes as inspiration?

If life were predictable, it would cease to be life, and be without flavor. -Eleanor Roosevelt

When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on. -Franklin D. Roosevelt

Life is made of ever so many partings welded together. -Charles Dickens

those are really cool quotes! thank you

"When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on." Mihawk says aloud to no one in particular but to Zoro it feels to pointed not to be directed at him.

Zoro's breath leaves him in harsh pants. He glares at Mihawk who is sitting perched on his garden chair underneath a useless umbrella with Perona. She looks at Mihawk from the rim of her teacup.

"What?" He asks, irritated. He blinks quickly to not be left blind. The lack of his eye is still holding him back even though its been weeks since the injury. The bandages itch but Mihawk wouldn't let him train without them. As if he could lose the eye more than he already had.

Mihawk hums boredly, reaching for his own teacup and sipping idly. "A poigniant quote, wouldn't you say?" He asks nonchalant and Perona shoots Zoro a glance.

Zoro's hand tightens on the grip of his sword. His hands are sore. "Sure." He says. He rolls his shoulders, closes his remaining eye and breathes the humid air of the swamp lands.

🍄🐾 For the writer ask meme! 😀

🍄 Are there any fandoms you've never written for but want to try?

mhh difficult question. theres a bunch of fandoms ive written for but never published. i have a ton of mass effect fic sitting in my drafts. something ive never written for before though? mhh. maybe the deer king. its a gorgeous animated movie and im currently reading the book its based on and its a fantastic world.

🐾 Do you plan on writing for any fests or competitions?

not really any fests. im in the middle of exams/almost done i guess and starting a new job so its been a whirlwind to do anything on a deadline. i am in a zoro/law zine thought that should come out this year so there is that!

thank you for asking! for this writer ask meme
