Happy birthday Childe, I can't believe you're a Cancer

[lizhly]

late but, for the ask game: mermaid au?

late ask late answer whoops.

Hmm. I'll give it a C. Like the official description for C is:

C: Neutral. A good author might be able to sell it, but a bad one will kill it deader than dead.

But uh, I don't think I have feelings even as strong as that? I don't like them and I don't dislike them. I won't go out of my way to avoid them, and I also won't go out of my way to look for them. I have searched my feelings, and have come up with zero. Maybe if I am particularly craving a little mermaid moment?

Over the years, his education had seemed more and more useless.  Until – well.  Until.

“You're coming with me,” Gong Pildu mutters darkly, grabbing Kim Dokja and Han Sooyoung by the arms.  Over their protests, he tells Park Siwoo, “Sound the alarm, get everyone inside.  They’ll all die otherwise.”

idk what im going to do when QAB is over :( who else is going to need me to create very specific in-universe memes

[lizhly-writes]

im intrigued, tell me about You're The Bakery Employee.scriv.....

It is original fiction! My attempt at knocking together a story with some ‘otome isekai’ tropes (note: there is no isekai) as fast as I can.

While on a series of typical hero fetch quests, prophecy candidate number #4 nearly dies, and gets saved by a villainess archetype character, who, after her engagement breaks, runs away from home/her duties as a noblewoman and gets semi-adopted by a baker. Since he now owes her big time, they agree that he’ll work in the bakery until his life debt is fulfilled. When is that? Who fucking knows. He sure doesn't!

It is meant to be a story about a boy who views himself as more of a tool than a person learning how to actually be a person (and perhaps finding love along the way???). It can probably be best described as rofan/slice-of-life... which was my first mistake in my quest to write it quickly, since as it turns out, I’m not actually great writing slice-of-life.... or uh, romance, either, actually...

ask me a question!

[lizhly-writes]

for the recent ask game: 1, 7, 19, 22, 36 :), 55, 73?

(sorry, these are just such interesting questions, i did try to limit myself i promise)

ahahahaaaa okay

1. Do you prefer writing one-shots or multi-chaptered fics?

truly i'd like to say that i enjoy writing multi-chaptered fics more. my ambition is grand! alas: my writing stamina is weak. i'm more prone to comfortably writing 500 words and cutting it off there. nobody resents this more than me.

so i suppose it's accurate to say i prefer writing oneshots and resent the fact that i prefer i writing oneshots.

7. How do you choose which POV to write from?

so for multi-POV works of fiction, i essentially switch when i get bored, or when i can't figure out where to go next. if i'm bored, then the next character should be more interesting; if i can't figure out where to go next, then i probably don't have a good grasp on at least one of the characters and need to get inside that character's head to do an examination.

for single POVs? it'll just be whoever I've decided will be the Main Character!!!

19. What is the most-used tag on your ao3?

...boringly enough, it's kim dokja. if you don't include characters, i'm afraid to say that everything is very, very even.

22. Are there certain types of writing you won’t do? (style, pov, genre, tropes, etc)

hmm. so i don't think i'll ever write anything that will require me to put a Dead Dove: Do Not Eat warning on it. any particular tropes themselves, i probably wouldn't shy away from at least implying, but it's incredibly unlikely that i would -- or even could! -- go far enough to say "YEAH I REALLY MEAN IT THERE'S A DEAD DOVE IN HERE", you know?

maybe the dove will be sleeping. maybe you will think the dove is dead but actually, surprise, it was alive the whole time. it is really hard for me to mean it enough to tell you this kind of thing, you know? i don't have the stomach for it.

36. How do you write kissing scenes?

I was WONDERING what the smiley face was for.

sometimes unromantically (i have described a kiss as tasting like spit more than once), but usually quite abstractly. there are some details thrown in - soft lips, warm mouths, hot tongues, this kind of thing. but am i describing what any of those are actually DOING? eh. not necessarily. does it work? who knows? not many of the kiss scenes i've written have actually made it out into the wild, i don't get much feedback on them.

sometimes i just go 'they kissed' and then i write about the panic that happens after that.

55. Of the characters you write for, which is your favorite? Has that choice been swayed at all by your followers/readers’ reactions to certain ones?

currently, it's my oc, yang haoran. i don't really have a favorite when it comes to fandom. for some reason, i haven't gotten quite the same joy out of breaking someone else's character in half, you know?

it's probably him because i definitely had some of y'all who enjoyed the story he's in and said some nice things about it. if i hadn't, it's unlikely i would have written him for long enough that i like him this much ahaha

73. What do you think makes your writing stand out from other works?

this is frankly a bit hard because i'm not terribly self aware about my own writing. i would have to say that often times, i don't let tension last long. in longer works, it's unlikely i can stay serious for very long; there's likely going to be a one-liner or joke that's popping up.

i'm also pretty fond of using repetition, often times in the same sentence, to smooth things out or to really hammer in a joke. i REALLY like using hyphens. I have a tendency to start paragraphs with ellipses (thanks, orv), and this certain way of structuring sentences (THANKS ORV) like so:

"This type of phrasing, I'm told it's incorrect", instead of "I'm told this type of phrasing is incorrect."

send me an ask!

more fantasy dnd au please!

The resentment of the starving dead – yes, that rings familiar.  He knows how he’s supposed to handle it, too.  Empathy, the road to pacification and purification.  Failing that, arrays and talismans to force the dead to rest.  If he was properly trained, both heart and mind, he could certainly use either solution.  If he had an hour, two hours, three hours – yes, he could certainly make do.
