Hi! I just wanted to say--Bloodsport was the first AFTG fic I read after being swallowed by that damn series and it is so wonderful! And then I very quickly descended into the hell that is Banana Fish and...you are there also and writing for it! Your art and writing is wonderful and I just wanted to send you all the encouragement and love. I just got out of a two month writers block and am FINALLY writing again so I know how it goes, just take your time! <3 Your content is fantastic and worth it

Omfg!!!!! that makes me so happy!!!! thank you so much!

WELCOME TO BANANA FISH HELL. I /STILL/ HAVENT FINISHED WATCHING THE LAST EPISODE YET LOL!

Thank you thank you thank you!!!! this means a lot T^T I’m trying to finish chapter 9 up right now and fuck. i shouldn’t have written the last chapter with a high fever because now i have to rewrite most of ch 9 in order to fall in line with what just happened =-= UGH!!!! This gives me courage! thank you!!!!

This is so inspiring to see tisfan! Thanks for sharing <3

Thanks... honestly, I exasperate myself all the time, because I don’t want to/can’t seem to give myself slack or days off... I’m one of those Go Hard people because I don’t seem to allow that Go Home is an option.

It makes me a little frustrating to be around sometimes.

11, 17, 24 (and I want concrete examples for 24 ;) ;) )

@iamagentcoop, giving me the tough numbers for the author asks! Thanks, friend!!

11) what aspect of your writing do you think has most improved since you started writing?

Detail work and descriptions, definitely. Better, varied word choice. Actually describing places and people instead of assuming people live in my mind. 

Oh, and the smut.

17) if you could give your fledgling author self any advice, what would it be?

Keep on keeping on, I guess! I was no stranger to writing what I wanted and going for rare pairs (Yuffie/Sephiroth, anyone??).

Maybe, “try to develop an outlining technique that is not just ‘writing notes on whatever scraps of paper are on the desk.’’ I mean, sure, I’ve updated to sturdier notecards but… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

24) have you ever become an expert on something you previously knew nothing about, in order to better a scene or a story?

Ok, I can’t claim I became an “expert” on anything to write a better story. That would be an insult to actual experts in the field, who spent years studying whereas I read the internet for a couple of weeks. That said…

For If You Fall, That’s Ok (the ground will catch you), I learned a LOT about ballet/dance. @vix-spes was my ballet beta and taught me so many things I would have never even thought about (like, do dancers have class the day of the performance? They sure do!). I also watched a ton of ballet classes and practice sessions on youtube.

And of course, for A Marriage of Ice and Fire, I tried to learn about the time period as best I could to keep details accurate. (And uh, without @leveragehunters as a beta, I would have done a lot of Bad Horse Details because I just assumed I knew things. I didn’t. Thank you again!!) 

But I really have to thank Age of Empires II for teaching me all about medieval warfare.

Yo, my fellow nerd & fandom parents! I want to...

So our homeschool group has been looking for a intro creative writing class for our youngers (like 6-8 range.) if you had….any desire….to deal with the littles ;)

I definitely LOVE littles! Along with being a parent of three, I've been a Girl Scout troop leader for almost 5 years now! What days/times would be ideal for your group, how many days a week, and how many weeks? Most of my classes are 1 hour, once a week, 4-6 weeks, but 1 hour is a LONG class for kids that age.

iamagentcoop replied to your post: 1. My eldest declared his major (Journalism)!  2....

Congratulations on eldest!!!! (And the car…of course ;) )

I'm relieved he's found something he's interested in. He loves politics, but he didn't want to major in PoliSci and have that be his entire life, so this was a really good choice for him.

And I'm seriously crossing my fingers about that car. The price is SO good, and I've been playing with the idea of restoring a classic car for a while now, but assumed it would always be out of my price range.

Oh my god I burst out laughing. And also have no effing idea what that means

See, hilarious, but wTF?!

Having people ship your OCs…is my dream in life ;)

We even had some fan art! If you look up Rambling Wrecks on AO3, you'll find our weird little spin-off fandom!
