List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who reblogged something from you! get to know your mutuals and followers ♡
>Writing (I looooove fantasy and sci-fi) >Dungeons and Dragons (proud Dungeon Master of 5 years!) >Videogames (RPGs and FPS's are my main jams) >Music (Retrowave/Synthwave and Metal!!!) >Cars (I adore American Muscle cars SO so much)
1, 9 and 22 from the weird asks?
>What font do you write in? Do you actually care or is that just the default setting?
I don't super care much, no LOL When I wrote in Word, it's Calibri, and when it's in Google Docs, it's whatever the hell they use for their default. As long as it's legible, to me it doesn't quite matter.
>Do you believe in ghosts? This isn’t about writing I just wanna know
Holy fucking shit yeah I believe in ghosts. I've been in the presence of a few of them, and I even used to do amateur stuff back in high school for paranormal investigation because I'm that convinced. New Jersey is haunted as hell.
>How organized are you with your writing? Describe to me your organization method, if it exists. What tools do you use? Notebooks? Binders? Apps? The Cloud?
I'll usually do shit like this, which is a snippet of some world notes I had for a little asteroid in a tabletop roleplaying game called LANCER, which features mech combat in a sci-fi, futuristic setting.
I use Google Docs for TTRPG notes, and then for writing notes, I just sort of uh.... Use Notepad, and little bulletpointed lists like you see there. I do sub-bullets and sub-lists and categorize smaller and smaller until I get the exact level of categorization I need. Below is screenshot of some D&D notes from a session early in my homebrew world's story, redacted to keep things secret as to what the creatures are and some less-than-savory things the creatures are made of.
5, 17, 26 for the writing asks!
>Do you have any writing superstitions? What are they and why are they 100% true?
I used to be really superstitious because I'd need to have really specific music playing, or it'd need to be a certain time of day, or a bunch of other things, but... I've become less and less superstitious as time goes by. I'm like. A little-stitious.
>Talk to me about the minutiae of your current WIP. Tell me about the lore, the history, the detail, the things that won’t make it in the text.
Dreams of Boston is the one that has a lot of my focus right now, and that I actually have a decent amount of notes planned for it. I think I do a pretty good job of finding equivalent or like-weapons, or just making shit up on the fly that would fit the setting. Stuff like Fearne's Power Armor design, with the cloven hooves for feet and the digitigrade legs, that's not stuff you can get in the game of Fallout 4 without mods. I looked at what existed, said "eeehh I don't have anything that fits, but I think this will work!" and just sort of spitball something together. I definitely do plan on introducing other members of Bell's Hells in the story!
>How do you get into your character’s head? How do you get out? Do you ever regret going in there in the first place?
Getting into a character's head, for me, is actually super duper easy since I've been LARPing (Live-Action Role Playing, think D&D but you dress up as your character and go to a campsite with like, 50-100 people for a weekend) for like... Over 10 years, at this point. And a lot of that is basically sort of like I said before, you look at everything you have with the character (their backstory, their goals, personality, the meat and potatoes of a character), and you sort of go "Well, what can I do with this, given the information that I know? If I put this character in X scenario, what would happen?" And you just ask yourself questions like that to prompt more things about the character. Like, "Okay, well this horrible situation has just happened to The Character. Given what I know about them, how would they react?" Getting back out, you just stop asking yourself the hypotheticals. You end the "What If's" and you start reacting as you instead, because more often than not, you know a lot more about you than a hypothetical character, even if it's one you made up. For me, getting back out is like turning off a lightswitch. Do I ever regret going? Absolutely not. It's often an escape for me, to think about what other characters would do for a while. And I like taking people, no matter who they are, on that escape/journey with me.
1 5 and 8 for the writer asks!
1 - of the fics you've written, which are you the most proud of? ooooh well for sURE that'd be Think About Me. Unironically that's like my magnum fucking opus. It started as a fun little experiment for alternating perspectives and it uh. Well it Sure Did take off!! 5 - what inspires you to write? Inspiration, of late, has been a fickle thing. But honestly seeing my buddies write and succeed so massively and getting huge praise, seeing the way other people have with words, it inspires me really greatly. People like HoodieHeda, marleybone, doribuki, sgt-farron, micro-bi-ologist, cvleart, cairophoenix on AO3, those are all my buddies and I LOVE watching my buddies make beautiful works of art. We ALWAYS got time to gas up the homies. 8 - is there a character you love writing for the most? the least? why? Obviously I love writing Imogen and Laudna, but I don't think I've yet encountered a character I didn't like writing. If I didn't like writing a character, I likely wouldn't write very much of them. And most of the stuff I've written, even Fearne in Dreams of Boston, I have a blast writing all of them. And that goes doubly so for original works; I love looking at other people's characters and writing them into my stories, with stuff like Dresses and Dreams, nearly all of the people featured in that story are all my buddies' characters, and I dungeon master for them, so I'm the one who has all the cards and knows everything (at least as much as the players tells me or gives me liberty to design) about their character. So, even from the perspective of running a game, I don't think I've ever found a character I didn't enjoy writing story or engineering plot for.
🤡🎢🤲
🤲a snippet of a wip
I don't really have any Imodna snippets to share with the class right now, sorry LMAO
🎢I answered with vivid, but Liminal Space is pretty wild. It's not sauce, but it's definitely wild.
🤡 What's a line, scene, or exchange you've written that made you laugh?
I have a lot of lines that make me smile, but in Think About Me when I wrote Laudna responding to Imogen saying "Honey" in chapter 2, I actually was giggling as I wrote it. Like out loud.
It took me too long to find this emoji BUT🎢
🎢What fic would you call your wildest ride? I'd have to say either Think About Me or Born Enchanter, if we're talking sauce. But Liminal Space is pretty trippy LMAO
3, 27, and 29 for the ao3 asks bestie 😌
I got three three times LOL
>What do you listen to while writing? Oh tons of stuff.
-Excess by Perburbator/Health -grandloves by PurityRing -Poseidon by Dann -Banks of Sansretour from The Witcher soundtrack -I Don't Know Why I Love You (But I Do) by Clarence "Frogman" Henry -Maybe by The Ink Spots The list could go on for forever LMAO
>Favorite line/passage you wrote this year? Probably the intro to Dreams of Boston. I love researching random things, and the opening scene for that story was a love-letter to my odd passion for tornados and the study of them.
3, 12, and 28 for Ao3 wrapped?
I already got 3, so I'll do the others! >How many WIP’s do you have in your docs for next year? Currently? Just one, actually! Chapter 6 of Dreams of Boston! >Favorite work you wrote this year? OH SHIT. Oh man this one is hard, too!!! I'm gonna say Come A Little Closer. I think I'm very proud of Think About Me, but Come A Little Closer just... I dunno it hits different to me.
