Aaaaand we’re back! Please help me welcome @emeraldwitches to the CSSNS!!!
Staci is new to the CSSNS this year and I’m sooo thrilled she’s come to join us! Everyone go say hi, and give her some love!
@emeraldwitches (but you're all welcome to call me Staci)
How long have you been in the CS/OUAT fandom?
According to my blog, it's been a month. I say that because it took me three tries to actually get into the show; and I documented this attempt from the beginning. I think my problem previously was watching it for one actor and not the story. It certainly didn't hurt that I developed a fascination with swords; and my love of pirates has grown. I think the final straw for me was learning that Gil McKinney played Prince Eric. At that point, I was determined to see it through; and of course CS got their claws in me before we ever got to the point where Eric shows up and I was hooked. (Pun intended.)
When did you start shipping Captain Swan?
I started shipping them somewhere around the time that I first watched the Rite and searched Colin on tumblr. I was inundated with CS gifsets and posts; so even though I had no idea about the characters, I supported them 500%.
What drew you to this event?
I love supernatural stories; and I love that we've sort of got a team. (Artist and Author or Artist, Author, and Beta) It's super awesome!
What inspired your topic?
Ruby is my favorite secondary character, and I've written a ton of werewolf fics for various fandoms because it's super easy to get around possible complications with a magical item, so I'm free to make it as big or small of a plot point as I want.
If you would like to share a snippet/sneak peek/summary of your fic or artwork, please use the space below.
I've posted a sneak peek on my blog from my first draft. My second draft sees the addition of Tinkerbell as a young woman named Olivia; and Graham as Emma's brother by blood while David is her brother via her being adopted by Ruth. I think I have challenged myself to include as many characters, especially canonically dead ones, as possible. Even I'm not 100% sure where it's going. It is definitely going somewhere, though.
Who/what have you beta'd before, or is this your first time? Feel free to give as much info as you like.
I've beta'd for Supernatural, Torchwood, amd Lord of the Rings. I've been doing that part for somewhere around 10 years now throughout various fandoms. Mostly I do grammatical editing; but I'll jump right in and help with anything needed.
What are you looking forward to most about participating in this event?
I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what everyone else comes up with because there is so much room to play around. Additionally, I'm excited for the new friends I've made already and getting a chance to know some of the other participants better.
Bringing people together in new friendships is one of my favorite things about this event! I’m so thrilled that Staci is joining us so soon after entering the fandom and I can’t wait to see what she comes up with! If you haven’t seen her sneak peek that she mentioned above, you can find it here. Everyone go welcome her to the fandom and the event!
