Fanfic writer ask game asks:

(3) What’s a fic idea that you have but haven’t written yet?

(13) Have you ever received hate on a fic?

(17) Are there any writers and/of stories that you consider an influence?

Thank you for the questions! ❤️

(3) What’s a fic idea that you have but haven’t written yet? I usually say the addiction fic because that's the one I really want to write and also the one I feel like I don't have the skill to write.  This is the one where Mac spirals after Jack "dies" and becomes addicted to painkillers after an injury. 

The other one that I really want to write is the werewolf AU where Jack is a werewolf hunter and Mac is a werewolf that teaches Jack that not all werewolves are bad.  I'm a little stuck on the mechanics of their first meeting because my initial idea doesn't actually work, but once I get that sorted out, I think I can get that story written. 

(13) Have you ever received hate on a fic? Not really, but I have upset readers.  I wrote an unpopular story in White Collar fandom that I intended to be an exploration of Diana's sexuality, but I handled it poorly (ie only wrote part of what was in my brain), and it didn't go over well.  I learned a lot from that experience.

(17) Are there any writers and/of stories that you consider an influence?  I think every writer is an influence, and every story has the potential to teach me something about my own writing.  Some writers are great at characterization, some are fantastic with plot, some have really good dialogue, some kill at description.  It would be silly, as a writer, to read those things and not try to take something that I liked back to my own writing. 

I've also had the great fortune to make friends (some life-long!) with other writers, artists, and readers in several of my fandoms, and I've learned a lot by discussing process and procedure with them.  How they approach their ideas and plot their plots and get inspiration from each other is always fascinating.  I'm very grateful to everyone I've met along the way.

Toni Morrison and her “Aight bet” attitude gives me the will to continue writing and I love it.

“The unreal is more powerful than the real. Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. If you can change the way people think. The way they see themselves. The way they see the world. You can change the way people live their lives. That's the only lasting thing you can create.”

COOL PEOPLE— D.H. LAWRENCE

COOL PEOPLE— D.H. LAWRENCE

“If I think of my childhood it is always as if there was a sort of inner darkness, like the gloss of coal in which we moved and had our being.” —D.H. Lawrence I am in love – and, my God, it is the greatest thing that can happen to a man. I tell you, find a woman you can fall in love with. Do it. Let yourself fall in love. If you have not done so already, you are wasting your life. — D.H. Lawrence

I don't know if any of you are paying attention or not

but you should send me names of influential figures. I'm mainly looking for writers, but no specific genre at all...and am also up to any names of influential people. 

it's for a list of my figures who have influenced my writing, so really it's everyone and everything so whatever...
