Hiiiiii! Ok so if you've messaged me or tagged me or tried to contact me in any way recently and I haven't responded, it's because I'm in the middle of moving to a new place and my life is in boxes and the Internet is sporadic at best so I will get back to everyone as soon as stuff settles down! *hugs all*

Does anyone know what happened to intolerablystruck and her fics?

[seastarved]

I promised you a part 2 and here it is! (And here's part 1, if you want)

And again, Pick your favourite fic writers (no limits, as many or as few as you like) and tell them (in a fair amount of detail) why exactly you love their writing. Because this is something I feel like every writer needs at some point, someone telling them and reminding them of the exact things that make them wonderful and special.

(You guys should do this also, Ok? Ok.)

passing-fanciful: I love your ideas! They're always so original and I currently have a big old crush on your sex shop AU because gdi, it's so so sexy but also ridiculously sweet? I LOVE it. I also adore your characterisations, they're absolutely spot on. So, go you! :)

i-know-how-you-kiss: Oh Liz! You make my days brighter and make me smile even when I don't know how. :) Your writing is so beautiful and romantic and just so ridiculously cute sometimes. And of course, you hit it out of the park every single time. (I still love, love that fic you write for when I basically yelled out a prompt into the world about Killian kissing Emma after Zelena's curse) (It was PERFECT.)

intolerablystruck: ERIN MY DARLING, MY LONG LOST TWIN! I love you and I LOVE your writing. I love how REAL it is and I love how I can feel EVERYTHING and I love when you write action and I love when you write smut (Oh gosh, I LOVE when you write smut haha :O) and I love when you write vulnerable emotion because no matter what you say, you do it so so well. You are wonderful and I'm so happy we're friends. :)

amiserablelove25: COL! Ok, so yours were one of the very first fics I read in this fandom. And like I was SO new and I didn't know anyone and you followed me and like talked to me and were just all around wonderful so yes, thank you. :) Anyway, I've always loved the angst in your writing because man oh man I'm a HUGE nerd for angst. :D ANd I've loved the intensity of it all and the big emotions and the big action. It's always so exhilarating! You're amazing! :)

whisperofgrace: SARAH!! You're bloody spectacular. I love the way you write the unresolved sexual tension and I love the way you write the resolving of the sexual tension. ;) I love how you write arguments and I love how you write the making up. And I LOVE that you love Captain Red Swan. And I love you. :)

lady-silverblood: HILARYYY! Ok, I mean, I don't know if you know but you're awe-inspiring. Your writing is just out of this world. The detail and the description and the work you put into it! I see everything happening in front of me and it just blows my mind how someone can be THAT good. Plus, also, you know, Grumplestiltskin. ;)

weezlywrites/ weezly14: So, you're fantastic. I love the way your writing sounds like someone thinking out loud. I love the plotting!! I LOVE the cut off sentences and all the parentheses. I love the emotion of it all. I love that my eye well up sometimes when I read your work. I love that you make me fall more in love with these characters that I'm already SO in love with. <33

So, ok, I lied. There's gonna be a part 3 and probably a part 4, oops. :D

Anyway, do the thing and make people happy. :)

OUAT Fandom Quiz

Was tagged by intolerablystruck and I think everyone I might have tagged for this has done it already so...

1. Year you started watching OUAT: It was promo'd heavily on CTV, and until this season was on at 7pm (right after the news) so I was aware of it and then it was on the channel I was watching so I saw the premiere. When it finished Shayne turned to me and said "so I guess we're watching this show now, huh?"

2. Favorite magical object: The inexplicably magical shadow-trapping coconut. Unless the Evil Queen's cleavage counts.

3. Favorite magical person: Emma

4. Describe OTP in 3 words without naming them: As you wish

(I wanted to be totally ridiculous with some rare pair or something but couldn't come up with something clever enough that people would catch on. When Shayne first heard the sort of ship names we have in this fandom he immediately wanted onboard Cricket Queen.)

5. Moments that made you cry: We'll go with the original saddest moment ever on this show -- Snow in the pilot after Charming leaves to be a badass with baby Emma.

6. Fav. Background character: Snow White. Um, I loved Tinkerbell a lot and need more Neverland backstory like crazy, so we'll go with her.

7. Fav. character described in three words: Goddamn badass saviour

8. Creative outlet dedicated to the show: I fic. Slowly.

9. If so a link: Done!

10. Fav. villain: Peter Pan was the most glorious little shitcake we've ever had on this show.

11. A character you would like to see again: Milah, because I need a Killian/Milah flashback something fierce.

12. Fav gif: Ha. Ha ha ha ha ha. Is this where I admit that I maintain a minimal presence on the internet without any saved gifs?

omg scarlet hook + deserted island, i need the sass pls ;)

"This is your bloody fault."

Captain Killian Jones doesn’t answer, grimly watching his ship sail away under the command of his mutinous first mate (bloody hell, he knew Edward Thatch was trouble the first time the bastard lit his black beard afire and scared the shite out of a rabble of knock-kneed merchants). This being the case, he has far more pressing matters on his mind than the reprobations of William Scarlet, who was thrown off the ship not for siding with his captain in the mutiny, but for being too damned annoying for the rest of the crew to put up with. They have been supplied with the pistol containing a single shot, and the only thing stopping Killian from using it right now is the fact that he’s too much of a selfish bastard to want to slowly starve to death himself. He grits his teeth and tells himself that if nothing else, Will can always be offered to any hostile natives as a sacrifice. He has no idea how big this island is. It rolls away into the horizon in a tangle of thick green jungle, the crystalline-blue water dazzling the white sand. And of course, the ever-dwindling shape of the Jolly Roger on the horizon, under its new management.

Killian makes a vicious face at the tiny ship, which does nothing, not even make him feel better, then turns to tramp up the beach. “Really? My fault? I’m not the one who got chucked off just for good measure. If Blackbeard wants to go after Cortez’ treasure, he’s bloody welcome to it. He’ll get no good out of it.”

"Dunno. Think any man could do well with a big-arse heap of treasure." Will scratches his neck. "Bloody hell, the flies are goin’ to kill me."

"The flies would do everyone a favor," Killian snaps, ducking under the marginally cooler shade of the trees. He can hear the salt tide rushing in the mangroves, the twisted roots that arch high above their heads, and picks a safer path inland. If it’s not bad enough that he’s lost his command, his ship, and is a sitting duck for the four second-raters the Royal Navy is dispatching out here to curb the rampant piracy in the Caribbean — three decks, carrying over a hundred guns apiece, surely enough to write an end to any pirate king’s reign of gold and greed and glory — he is stuck on a deserted island with Will Bloody Scarlet. That is just not fair.

(Where’s that pistol again? He requires it urgently.)

He’s so wrapped up in his angry thoughts that tripping over the strange knob rising from the sand sends him almost headlong. He catches himself, then frowns. It looks wooden, and man-made. He kneels, slamming at the rotten boards with his hook, until it breaks with a crunch, and he peers in, fully expecting to get a faceful of bats for his trouble. But nothing…. except the faint, dusty glint of something that may, may just, be glass. Bottles and bottles of it, jacketed in crumbling catacombs, swollen in the hot wet tropical air. What the….

And just then, it hits him.

The rum-runners use this island as a cache.

Bloody brilliant.

—————

Five hours later, they are drunk as skunks, have built a giant bonfire on the beach around which they are dancing like larks, and have slung their arms around each other to sing all the songs they know (bawdy, bawdier, and bawdily maudlin). They are on their fifth rendition of “God Save The King” and have replaced the words ever more creatively each time, mostly because they can’t remember half of them. Killian has even decided he’ll be a bit sad if he has to shoot Will first, but there are worse fates, maybe, perhaps, than to be here with a bottle of rum in his hand as the stars, fat as fists, sprinkle the sky above. He glances over at the other man, slumped against a log of driftwood with his hands behind his head. “You’re not… off the hook, you know.”

"Oy, no makin’ hook jokes." Will hiccups. "You’d just agree to go after Cortez’ gold, we wouldn’t be in this predica— predicky—-predicament."

"And here I was almost starting to like you." Killian takes another sip. "Clearly, I am not nearly drunk enough."

"So," Will says after a moment. "How’re we gettin’ off?"

"Excellent question, love. Either the rum runners will come by and we can barter passage off, we can rope a pair of sea turtles, or the Royal Navy will come by, arrest us both, bundle us promptly off to London, and hang us at Execution Dock for the moral edification of the public."

Will squints, scratching his nose. “Don’t like that last option much.”

"Neither do I." Killian stretches his legs. "So, unless we want to be trapped here together forever, I suggest we get on the bloody stick."

my tumblr crush is intolerablystruck

well, your tumblr crush is one of my absolute favorite fandom writers. intolerablystruck's writing style is indescribable to me. to tell you that's it's good would not only be stating the obvious, but also a gross understatement. the way that Erin writes is articulate and eloquent. she always keeps everyone in character, and that in and of itself is worthy of praise. she writes emphatically and lyrically and i seriously love everything she posts. every phrase is well-turned, every comment or snarky quip is on point, and her smut is honestly some of the best I have ever read. i love reading what she writes, and when she posts knew things, i all but inhale them in my greed and haste.

PUT YOUR TUMBLR CRUSH IN MY ASK AND I WILL TELL YOU WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THEM!
