Get to know author ask: 1, 8,11,13

Oh my, thank you so much! You know how much it means to me coming from you so it's both an honor and a pleasure to answer this 💗 big love

1) is there a story you’re holding off on writing for some reason?

Yes, it's called "Cruel Summer" and it's an unfinished doc of mine for the longest time about Tiva S3-S4 regarding the secret summer of sex. I'm holding it off because it's especially written for my friend @pro-bee so I'm trying to gather all the knowledge about this event (lmao) I can think of to make it worth it :') Someday, though!!!

8) favorite genre to write

Unrealistic Romance 💘💘 also Fluff and Smut sometimes haha

11) what aspect of your writing do you think has most improved since you started writing?

I think the pacing. First it was rushed a lot and without any dialogue tags, so it was all confusing, I like to think I improved in that :)

13) your strengths as an author

Hmm difficult question but I think it's that I have so much fun writing. I discovered it just last year but I see myself coming back to it when times get hard because it's so much fun!!! Truly a blessing.

for the gif maker ask: 1, 5, 12, 21

Ahhh thanks so much for this!! I really love your URL btw <3

I’ve answered questions 1 & 5 in this post :D

Font(s) you like using You have no idea how much I’m howling at this one, clearly I don’t talk enough publicly about my hated of fonts :’) it’s honestly the worst part of gif making for me at the moment, I can just never seem to find the right one. But anyway, for subtitles I’ve been using ‘Sans Serif’, then for edits I like ‘Hello Stockholm’, ‘Mountain Bridge’, ‘Diagramm’ and ‘Gadugi’.

How much time do you spend on a single graphic / gif? This depends on what it is. For the scene gifsets, maybe an hour if it’s got 8-10 gifs, half an hour if it’s 6 or less. This takes way less time because the scenes are already there and the colouring will be very similar. But for gifsets of multiple scenes it takes a lot longer. Not just for finding the scenes, then making sure that they match, sorting them into order, colouring them individually, crying over fonts takes me at least 2 hours every time :’) I don’t even think this answered the question lol oops sorry

Ask a graphic/gif maker

Hey um @loudlooks lol we seem to have taken almost complete control of the NCIS fanfiction page.

(Keep in mind I filter pretty heavily - only complete fics really shrinks the list down a lot. But still.)

Hi, I started a sideblog for a-spec fiction, and I'm wondering if you could help me out. I'm an aro ace, most likely agender, but I don't know much of what goes on in the community. I wanted to include agender (I thought it fell under a-spec), but a friend pointed out some people think it falls under transgender. The last thing I want is to offend anyone, so I'd appreciate your opinion; add agender fiction, or not?

Hello, thanks for the question.

Aromantic/asexual deals with a person’s orientation while agender deals with their gender identity (or lack thereof). While there are agender people who do not personally identify as trans for a variety of reasons, the term agender does fall under the transgender umbrella because it fits the definition of trans which is simply not identifying with the gender you were assigned at birth. 

It’s also a common misconception that agender = asexual. While there are plenty of agender people who are asexual (and/or aromantic), there are just as many who aren’t. Agender people can be asexual, bisexual, gay, or any sexuality that anyone else is. Gender is not the same thing as sexual orientation, this is as true for agender people as it is for anyone else.

As for your sideblog, I don’t think there would be an issue with including agender fiction on it as long as you don’t spread that misconception. There’s absolutely nothing offensive about a blog for aromantic, asexual, and agender fiction or even just fiction about aro/ace agender people so long as you’re not stating that all agender people are aro/ace which would erase those of us who aren’t.
