@endlessmoonrise: Sorry to hear you’re having a bad day, I don’t particularly excel at making people feel better when they’re down, I’m too socially inept for that. So instead I’m gonna let you know that when I’m having a shitty day, the first thing I turn to are your stories. Your LP universe never fails to make me smile and the way you write and build stories and characters (all while studying and living life) is truly inspiring.Thanks to the recent wave of JimBeth content you’ve blessed us with, the other day I was thinking about a situation (possibly instigated by Wes) in which Jim gets his hands on some childhood pictures of Beth. I’m talking baby pics, pictures of her in frilly dresses she was forced into by Snow, a home video of her playing pirates with the furniture (this is in no way a prompt btw, I just found it funny to think about and hopefully you will too) I hope your day gets better, I just thought that perhaps knowing you’ve made someone smile will make you smile too (also I have no idea if I’ve sent this to the right thing, still a tumblr rookie here)

Thank you so much for this message. I’m always stunned when people say they enjoy the Little Pirates universe. The series is very personal to me so I’m so very grateful to have such amazing readers.

That’s such a funny headcanon and honestly, a little vulnerable and emotional. Jim doesn’t really see the softer side of Beth of a lot. His first interaction with her is seeing her perform her first kill and getting into trouble. And it’s kinda been par the course. He knows the woman she’s become, but not a lot about the girl she was. He doesn’t really see the pesky sassy sister and the absolutely devoted daddy’s girl. I think he would be a little stunned and a little entertained by her childhood antics. 

One of my headcanons is that one of the photos on the mantle is of Killian conked out in the bathtub with infant Beth sleeping on his chest. Beth was a colicky baby who hated to sleep. Most of the time, the only way she would sleep is with a heartbeat in her ear hence and around water. Emma just catches them both sleeping and it’s just this soft and very fundamental moment that she feels the need to capture before waking Killian and being like “I know you’re tired but never do that again because you both could have drowned.”

I can Jim seeing that photo and just having a lot of feelings about it. He would probably request a copy of it for himself because that’s his girl at her softest and it kinda makes him understand their relationship a little better - and also want something like that for himself. I can just see him seeing that photo and other stuff from her childhood and being like “holy shit, I might actually want kids.”

Anyway, thank you for this message. It got some of my creative juices going.

CSLB Author Spotlight: endlessmoonrise

Today’s featured Captain Swan Little Bang author is @endlessmoonrise!

How long have you been writing for the OUAT fandom? Did you write anything else (original or fan fiction) before joining the OUAT fandom?

I have written bits and peices for OUAT for about a year, mostly inserts or 'missing scenes' from the show, a small, half finished continuation of S6, but I've never had the courage to post anything, or really take part in the fandom goings on before now. (That and I fail epically at using tumblr for anything other than liking and following people.)  I have written and posted fanfiction for smaller fandoms in the past, and made some of my best friends doing it, so I hope I can continue to do the same here.

What sort of fic do you like to write? What sort of fic do you like to read?

Mostly things with an emotionally heavy story or plot, a lot of romance, a lot of family orientated fics. I don't tend to write action scenes, but maybe that's because I rarely write anything that needs them. 

However, when it comes to reading, auything goes, if I like the sound of the summary I'll give it a shot, but like it more if it has some of the qualities I mentioned above with my own writing.

Besides your Little Bang fic, do you have anything else in the works?

I always have something in the works, but tend to jump back and forth between stories a lot. I recently found nine notebooks of unfinished fics and ideas while clearing out my room and picked some of those back up after re reading them for the first time in years.

If this is your first time participating in a Big or Little Bang, what made you decide to sign up? What are you looking forward to?

I liked the idea of collaborating with artists in the fandom, especially after seeing some of the work from this years Big Bang, I'd be excited for getting a visual of how someone else sees my writing. Being paired with a beta reader would also be a new experience for me as I've only ever really written fics on my own, but most of all the chance to become a more active part of the fandom, since I've spent so long observing it from the sidelines.

Currently in emotional turmoil over your take on this headcanon combined with the fact that my demon sister has just thrown my freshly packed suitcase across my bedroom. (headed to your neck of the woods actually)

Ahahahhaahahahaha, sorry? 

That’s just rude of your sister. If you have time or feel comfortable with it, you’re more than welcome to hit me up while you’re here. Cheers!
