Hello again everyone! Please help me welcome @idristardis to the CSSNS!
I am soooo excited to welcome Idris to the cssns this year! Everyone go say hi and give her some love!
How long have you been in the CS/OUAT fandom?
Um...hard to say....IMDb tells me that the original airdate of "Good Form" was October 27, 2013...so let's say roughly since then. :D
When did you start shipping Captain Swan?
See my previous answer, lol. Seriously though, it was that episode. I had watched a few episodes and clips from seasons 1 and 2 but never really got caught up in the show and sorta fell away from watching it...then was on tumblr for a completely different fandom (NCIS: Los Angeles) and started to see gifs of The Kiss from "Good Form" cross my dash over and over and over...and I was like "uh...guess I better give that show another try." I went back to OUAT because of my curiosity over that moment and who the hell the dude playing 'that pirate' was...and was instantly captivated by CS's chemistry. Watched the rest of the series as it aired though I eventually went back and caught up on most of the episodes I'd missed from the earlier seasons, and have been happily inhabiting my little corner of the fandom ever since.
What drew you to this event?
I really enjoyed reading the fics and seeing the art from last summer's event, and it seemed like a fun time...plus, I had a plot bunny attack me just recently for a fic that wold work for the event, so it seemed a bit like fate.
What inspired your topic?
It was partly a prompt about accidental soul-bonding that I saw on a fic prompt site, and partly a couple of ideas I'd had kicking around...it's going to take the original prompt just as a jumping off point, and not follow it literally.
If you would like to share a snippet/sneak peek/summary of your fic or artwork, please use the space below.
Normally when a skip takes forever to show, and it gets to be later and later...and later in the evening, Emma usually decides to bail for the night, preferring to regroup and try again another time. But this guy was worth a particularly large amount of money, and, even more to the point, was a particularly awful human being. Nope. Tonight, she was going to stay put no matter what happened.
Emma jolted in her seat a moment later, startling more than she would've liked at the soft knock on her front passenger window. She glanced over, prepared to send whatever (most likely lost and/or drunk) pedestrian had wandered by on their way with a few well-chosen words - only to stop before she even could formulate her first insult.
“Seriously?!” she asked instead - tossing her head against the headrest even more dramatically than before and directing the question to the slightly ripped upholstery on the interior of the car’s ceiling.
“Lass?” the all-too-familiar voice floated over to her, slightly muffled because he was still outside the car. For the briefest of moments, Emma considered not letting him in - but though she was a little annoyed he’d showed up at her stakeout, it was bitingly cold out and she wasn’t about to let him freeze.
Heaving a sigh, she leaned across the console and unlocked the passenger side door. He swung it open and leaned on the frame, ducking his head down to peer in at her. She met his inquisitive gaze with a grumpy one of her own. “What are you doing here, Jones?” she muttered, eyes flicking back to the building where her skip still hadn’t shown up.
“I've brought us dinner,” he said, holding up a Granny's to go bag but still making no move to enter the car. “Thought you might be hungry - and that you might want some help. Ruby said you’d been out here awhile.”
Of course she did, Emma thought. Her partner - and so-called friend - just couldn’t resist meddling, despite the fact that Emma had told her over and over that she had the Killian situation under control.
(She might have been lying to herself about that one - just a bit).
(Okay, a lot. She was lying to herself a lot).
What are you looking forward to most about participating in this event?
Getting to know all the other fabulous participants and read/see all the wonderful fic/art that comes out of it!!!!
Ohhhh this looks like such fun!!! Can’t wait for her fic to drop on August 24! Everyone go welcome her to the event!
