now that AOTL's officially complete, here's the official tumblr post pspspspsping you to read it :) we have more mer magic and whimsy packed into this fic than ever before!

summary under the cut!

Grian hesitated, voice catching in his throat as they turned down the driveway of their house, a shadow falling across their faces as they went, “—I dunno. It just hit me, y’know. We really are lucky, aren’t we?” Scar stilled on the first step up to their porch. Golden hour had cast their little corner of the world in a stark blend of warm illuminated patches and chilly shadows. Grian stood just at the edge of an unlit spot, Scar just at the edge of a lit one. “Yeah,” he replied, reaching over and helping Grian over the threshold. “Yeah, we are.”

After Grian and Gem's trip to the memorykeeping shrine, life in Aurecove is beginning to settle. But change is looming over the horizon—when mers begin mysteriously losing their memories once more, Scar, Impulse, Tango, and Gem must take fate into their hands and embark on the quest of a lifetime, where the price of failure is losing everything they hold dear.

Greetings! I have been asking Ao3 authors they got started on Ao3 and who else to ask!

And guess what? @writtingwithaglassquill told me for ask you! so how did you find/get started on ao3? And who else should I ask?

--♡

i'd seen quill's post, so i suspected this would be coming to my inbox eventually. i, however, did not prepare!

right.

long story short, i had a good friend who'd been reading and writing on ao3 for years and i finally decided to make an account myself last year. in reading fic tailored to my niche at the time, i saw a lot of stories that inspired me. from there, i wrote my first fic. rest is history, i suppose?

to expand a bit on my full fic list, though, it wasn't long after writing my first full fic that i was caught by the loneliness that is writing alone. some people do well for it, but i was finding it demotivating, so i reached out to a writer i'd been reading the fics of at the time—and that i'd interacted with on tumblr semi often—to ask if they might be open to co-writing an idea i had. she accepted, and cthl (the biggest fic series on my page) was born.

if writing alone is intimidating, co-writing is such a beautiful thing. always leave yourself open to collaboration—you can do so much more with a broader swath of perspectives than you could ever do alone, even if you and your co-writer(s) have so very much in common.

cheers! i hope that was insightful for you, or helpful in any way. don't know what your game is, stranger, but i'm flattered to be asked a little question.

writers i know (other than my beloved co-writers, @nine-of-diamonds and @crabbri, who quill had already tagged in her own post) and respect and think could offer some neat stories would be @cat-in-the-desert and @nyxtheeclipse assuming they haven't already been tagged by another person in one of these asks.
