look, I love queer baiting as much as the next gal but sometimes the baiting of it all is so intense it just makes the writing bad. Like there is a heterosexual explanation for this, but its a really bad explanation.

Ask tag, you're it! :D What's your favorite part of the writing process? Or what's one thing you really like about writing?

ask tag is my new favorite game!!!!

unpopular opinion: I really like the middle?? Like when you’re in the middle of a first or second draft and suddenly you hit a flow, and you get the characters and you know where the plot is going so you can just write? I was tempted to say that my favorite part is the pre-drafting and planning part, because I truly love daydreaming and visualizing scenes and hammering out weird logistical quirks. But when I go to transfer those bits to paper, it always becomes a bit of a drudgery because they’re already! In my head! They’ve happened! I just have to get it out. But the middle, oh, it’s like a runners high. I don’t know what’s going to happen, it just spills out right as I figure it out. I can let the characters surprise me. I can let myself surprise me. Often, this is the point in a draft where some motif or extended metaphor or theme I’ve been subconsciously writing around becomes intentional. So yeah, tl;dr, considering I just accidentally wrote a love letter to middles I think that’s probably my favorite part of the writing process, lol.

#thanks wren!!! you got me all reflective #ask tag! you’re it!#dearest void #if you thought /that/ was pretentious look away now cause this tag rant is about to be a lot #it’s interesting because as a visual artist (painting sepcifically here) I’m somewhat accoustomed to #hating midfield with all my heart. in painting the middle is the ugly stage #*middles why tf would I be talking about baseball autocorrect??#I’ve abandoned so so many paintings in the ugly stage. I’m terrible about it and used to be worse bc visual arts may be part of my studies #and always had been but I’m still largely self taught and I never ever trusted my ability to /fix/ it once it hits the ugly stage #getting past the ugly stage is fundamentally about trust I think. you have to know that you /can/. I think I do better now because I’ve #gotten better about having a concept rather than an image #if I have a concept I can give myself the freedom to apply my skills in the way that best serves the piece rather that pursing a particular #look that I may not be best suited to achieve #with writing I think at least for me pursing a concept is a lot more natural that pursing an image the written equivalent of which #I’m thinking of as a ‘style’ mostly tho you could also sub genre or trope maybe #so I think that’s a lot of why I enjoy the middle of writing. it’s when I most fall back in my skills and trust myself to just /write/#but also in that way the middle of a draft is different from the middle of a painting. that part in a draft is more like when you’re just #emerging from the ugly phase of a painting and you start to see progress (finally)#the real ugly phase of a written piece is the end of the first couple drafts OOF #being a perfectionist who 1. can’t spell and 2. can’t avoid a conma splice to save their goddamn life make editing your own work a #deadly process #thinkin about her: frank o’hara’s poem ‘why i am not a painter’

What was your first experience with internet fandom and subculture?

well, I made my blog in 2013, so I'll give you three guesses and you'll be right on all three, lol.

that being said, there was really never any hope for me. I genuinely don't remember a time when I wasn't consuming media that is now considered 'cult classic' or one of the og fandoms now. I grew up watching TNG, the first movie I 'saw' in theaters was LOTR, and I was so young when I first watched DW that I got spooked and swore off it for a few years. If you had asked my middle school self what my favorite show was, there's a good chance I would have said Buffy. (which, honestly? valid.)

but, of course, the, ahem, "big three" were my first real experience with internet fandom. While I don't know that it was the best introduction to fandom I could have had, I distinctly remember my first fannish interaction, and the joy of realizing that, oh, there were other people who liked these things, too! Other people who wanted to be just a little too enthusiastic, and would put up with me when I was as well (neurodivergent people). So really, even with all the weirdness of getting into fandom during that very distinct era, I can't regret it, and I'm certainly glad it led to me still being here in fandom spaces now :)

#can't believe im about to use this tag in the year of our lord 2022 #superwholock #what have you done to me??? /j #dearest void #thanks for the ask! sorry to get so deep #this question just made me really reflective lol #I think this calls for my favorite john darnielle quote #THE FAULT LIES NOT WITH THE CRINGE.

my witcher fic rec list is getting very close to done. it is longer than some actual fics I have written and may more aptly be called a library than a list. i may have gone a bit overboard but look. i am just very enthusiastic about witcher fic.
