fanfic writing ask game

3. Do you share your fic ideas, or do you keep them to yourself?

= I mostly share them, either with my wife or my girlfriend or my friends etc. I really like talking through my creative processes and asking for advice from ppl I trust. I also like to share my stuff on the internet, particularly tumblr

19. Do you enjoy writing OCs or do you prefer to stick solely to canon characters?

= In fic I can only write canon characters, I can barely convince myself to name a waiter or random person at a mall, and even then it's probably meant to be a canon character, I just chose to leave it up to interpretation. I do have OCs... I just choose not to use them XD I may start trying to make more OCs in the future.

32. Do you take fic requests? Why or why not?

= I don't not take requests. I used to have a collection or something on Ao3 that ppl could send requests to, but I took it down after I started posting really taboo things because I was getting trolls. I did write something called The Livestream Fic where the characters would take kink requests from their viewers to do on stream, and I would have readers leave comments and put them into the fic. If I got a fic request, I would do my best to write it, and I'm always open to prompts.

75. Is there a particular fic that readers gravitated towards that you didn't expect?

= So. Aside from The Fic Series that shall not be named, I have a fic called won't you hug me and hold me (and tell me im lovely) which ships Clark Kent/Jason Todd/Roy Harper in a text message format and no capes AU. When I started it, I actually had to create the clark/jason/roy tag on Ao3 (the other ship tag I created for DC was Roy/Tim/Bart) and I really didn't expect much from my clark/jason/roy text fic, but when I was posting it every day I had pretty active readers, and I have been told by a large amount of them that they were just trying the fic for fun and came out the other side shipping the three of them. Which was my agenda. (BTW there are 4 fics for that pairing on Ao3, 2 are by me, 1 is by my wife, and 1 is by someone who writes a lot of Clark stuff)

songbird!

Cigarettes & Feelings - The Haunt

Well at first I thought obviously it's going to be a college or coffee shop AU because the title is so obvious, you know, but how about we shake things up a bit?

Wing Walker!Jason and carpenter!Roy whose side job is to teach archery.

I do not have enough brain juice to go into details, but something about Roy carving a token for Jason to take with him everywhere as a goodluck item, adrenaline junkie Jason and Roy having excuses to call him "Jaybird" with a sneaky scene of mutual cigarette lighting, if you know what I mean.

Send me ‘Songbird’ and I will put my music on shuffle and come up with an AU based on the first song I hear.

15! Tell me things! I want to know!

15! Yes! So, this started as a Hannibal fanfic but I liked the concept and decided I'd rather try to approach it from an origfic perspective. It's a wlw (and other relationships, but they're the focus) story about a psychologist who meets a vampire (also a psychologist) at a work conference (yes, seriously) and they start up a torrid affair. I probably won't wind up keeping the title, if I ever do wind up finishing the story. Thank you so much for the ask! Here's a little snippet, to give you a taste:

“How do you not know Dr. Achard?”

Lena lifted one shoulder in a shrug. While specialty fields of academia like psychology were—often rightly—lambasted for being insular by nature, theirs wasn’t so incestuous a community that one could be reasonably expected to keep track of any and every rarified member who had ever left their mark on it in some way or another.

Pravina heaved a deep, wounded sigh and squeezed Lena’s arm before she let it go. “Okay,” she said, flapping her hands in front of her face like an overwrought mother in a period drama. She pressed her lips into a thoughtful line and shook her head, asking mournfully, “Where do I even start?”

“I generally recommend the beginning.”

Pravina rolled her eyes, reaching over to swat at Lena again, though this time she barely made contact, the tips of her fingers only just skimming Lena’s bicep. “You’re hilarious.”

Lena grinned.

“Seriously,” Pravina pressed on, twisting in her seat until she was facing Lena dead on, “I can’t believe you’ve never heard of Iphigenia Achard. She’s like, the consummate lecturer on exanguidine offenders. She’s been speaking on the topic since - ” Pravina paused, sighing out a breath that made her cheeks puff and her lips flap. “I don’t know. The early nineteen hundreds at least.”

Lena’s eyebrows jumped toward her hair. “She’s a vampire?”

“One of the more famous ones,” Pravina confirmed. “She was also one of the first women awarded a Doctorate of Psychology from the Sorbonne, back in 1883. Followed that up with a medical degree from the Royal College of Surgeons in 1895. I know she practiced for a few years after she came to America, but she gave it up for academia pretty early on.” Pravina crossed her arms on the table and drummed her fingers against its surface. “She stopped taking patients sometime in the 1960s, and I don’t think she’s given a talk in a decade or more. I don’t know what brought her out of retirement, but - ” Pravina trailed off again, shaking her head and gazing, mystified into the middle distance as she plucked her wineglass by the stem and took a long, slow sip. “That she’s speaking at all is a big deal. A very big deal. I didn’t want to miss my chance.”

“Wow,” Lena said, fiddling with the decorative sprig of rosemary sticking up out of her glass. She felt fairly bowled over. “I had no idea.”

“No idea about what?”

She and Pravina turned in unison to smile at West as he dropped his beer unceremoniously onto the table. He had a tiny cocktail napkin folded unevenly in one hand and was using it to dab at a wet stain on his tie.

“Iphigenia Achard,” Lena offered with a frown. “What happened?”

West’s jaw tightened and his nostrils flared, eyes flicking to the side like there might be someone hovering over his shoulder, as he huffed, “Nothing. Some jackass decided he wanted to cut the bloodless in line and knocked another guy’s scotch over on his way past me.”

Lena flinched, and Pravina sucked a pained breath through her teeth. As derogatory comments went, there were worse things a vampire could be called than ‘bloodless,’ but it certainly wasn’t polite.

“You need me to go set him straight?” Pravina asked, raising her hand and curling it into a fist.

“No,” West murmured, and turned a shy smile in her direction. “Thanks. I took care of it.”

Hi, I have a very strange question, but I was wondering if you would be willing to let me use (and credit you) two of your dieter bravo gifs in a set for a casting reference? If not, that's perfectly okay. They are just so clear and crisp and amazing.

hi as long as you credit me thats fine :) Thanks for asking first!

*chinhands* JayRoy fleabag story? Do tell.

puts face in hands. so really, i have to admit this started when i saw ~father jason todd in flashpoint and went 'okay yeah sure brother blood etc so on and so forth but also like... how DID we get here.' it still didn't feel all that clear to me, the through line from that alternative universe, to jason choosing the priesthood. and that did seem interesting to explore, which somehow... lead directly into father jason, a very unorthodox priest choosing the man upstairs over the violence that fits over him like a glove, winding up officiating oliver and dinah's wedding. and roy recognizes him from the church where he goes for AA meetings, and at first roy wants to tell himself that it's choosing to make things worse on purpose, because at least that gives him control over the way things go to shit. but prickly, defensive, privately kindhearted, beautiful jason sees right through him... and somehow that's what makes it even worse.

WIP game: wet

I'm sorry M for leaving this in my inbox so long but the truth is I didn't have a WIP with the word "wet" in it at the time, and believe it or not, I still don't! I didn't mention the word once in my Fem Jay × Donna thing despite how explicit it is 😂😂

Better luck next time!!

Send me a word and I'll share a WIP with the word in it
