— Kya wanted to kiss Rikan. But could Marinette act that out? Perhaps she could half-roleplay it with a cheek kiss instead? It was such a common greeting, to kiss cheeks, she could probably get away with it in real life. [...] She began to lean in, ready to kiss his cheek. Adrien tilted his head, a brief frown of confusion crossed his brow before his eyes widened a fraction in understanding. He leaned in closer, and Marinette was glad he’d understood… Their lips met. — Hi there hello thank you for your question yes I very much like to be a walking and talking advertisement for this fic. Since @midnightstarlightwrites' "Can I Date You(r Character)?" is back tonight after summer hiatus, here's The Scene from Chapter 5 that I drew some days ago. I came up with my own vague designs for their D&D characters — Marinette's half-elf druid Kya and Adrien's half-elf rogue Rikan — which apparently are two more Adrienette alter egos I've grown attached to. Check out my IG post for a closer look at each panel, with and without bubbles!

Heyhey! March: do you listen to music whilst writing? :)

March: do you listen to music whilst writing?

i do! in fact i find it incredibly hard to write without music. however it mustn’t have lyrics and neither can it be well known soundtracks (otherwise i end up humming along or envisioning the movie/scene it came from haha) i listen purely to instrumental stuff ranging from ambient to electronic to epic – i have a lot of different playlists for different writing moods ^^

thank you for the ask!!!

fanfic questions themed around time

[kedreeva]

What's something that cheers you up when you're feeling down? :)

Depends on what has me down. Sometimes if it’s just the state of the world or work or something, I will go out and sit in the bird pen and give them treats and just hang out for a while until I cry or feel better. They don’t care which, which is nice. Other times if it’s because of something internal, I will go and read through old comments and/or my “people say nice things” or “good things” tag until I cry or feel better.

Recovering from feeling down isn’t necessarily cheering up for me, but it is feeling better.

Fanfic ask meme: U!

Aww, Cy! And you said *I* ask the hard questions…

U: Share three of your favorite fic writers and why you like them so much.

Well, peeps, IT’S PROMOTION TIME!!!!!(Fair warning, these are going to be in the Miraculous Ladybug fandom, sorry if you’re looking for a good author outside that fandom.)

1.    @baneismydragon, you can find her on AO3 here.

First of all, Bane has a LOT of stories, and it’s fantastic to find an author with a lot of content to consume. Secondly, the stories have fun and unique concepts with them, and a nice level of snark. I love me some playful snarkiness. Plus, just such amazing fluff. Something about Bane’s writing voice always gets my heart racing during the action or romance scenes. Wonderful! My personal favorite is “And The Name For Your Order Is?”

2. @edendaphne, you can find her on AO3 here.

I was first drawn to her - excuse the pun - because of her illustrations. She was doing collabs with some great writers, such as Maerynn, and her illustrations always added an extra layer to the writing. But then Eden started writing on her own, and it’s just as fantastic. In her first solo story - Discordant Sonata - actually includes a sort of playlist within the writing, since the story focuses on music. She starts each scene with a link to mood music, and it really enhances the experience.

3. @midnightstarlightwrites, you can find her on AO3 here.

I actually found her via fanart drawn for her story Smoulder, and it is very much deserved. She tends to write aged-up ML stories so she can also include more adult themes. And let me tell you, she’s suuuuuper good at getting that heart racing with some steamy scenes ranging from major pent up tension up to softcore foreplay. The humor is also pretty on-point as well, which is great way to break the tension.

So those are officially my three, but you didn’t really think I’d end there, do you?

4. @thetauruspixie, you can find her on FFN here, and she’s starting to build up stories over on AO3 here.

She tends to write darker themes in her stories. She also has multiple projects going at the same time, so it’s fairly easy to find one that you’ll like and will update fairly regularly. She also writes epics, so you can enjoy your favorite story for a while. The one I’m currently following is Chat Vert, which is about Chat Noir’s jealousy once Luka comes onto the scene.

5. @buggachat, you can find her on AO3 here.

I started following her here on Tumblr after seeing the wonderful mini-stories she shared via her fancomics. Just like with Bane, Bug has fantastic comedic timing and just the right level of snark. Bug is still fairly new with the non-visual storytelling element of fanfics, but the concepts are so delightfully unique and truly delves into character exploration. I’m following her multi-chapter story Curiosity Wrote a Comic, which explores the emotional ramifications to Marinette and Adrien reading a fancomic that takes a fairly dark turn.

6. @chibisunnie, you can find her on AO3 here.

Finally moving away from my fandom, I met Chibi when we collabed on a (sadly abandoned) “Hey, Arnold!: The Jungle Movie” fanscript as a means to help encourage Nickelodeon to greenlight the project. Since then, we’ve kind of moved away from each other’s fandoms, but I still love reading Chibi’s works. Even though I don’t know the stories or the characters, I’m still emotionally invested. She focuses on the sort of background couples of stories; the ones that tend to be forgotten about in fanfics. She also keeps her writing fairly clean, so it’s just wonderfully wholesome. Finally, she usually focuses on gay relationships, including the struggles of finally coming out of the closet. Along those lines, I really enjoyed her Andi Mack story “Aren’t You Happy For Andi?” (It does include a spoiler from the season 2 premiere) 

7. @cyhyr, you can find her on AO3 here.

Even though she’s the one who asked, how could I forget my girl Cyhyr? Just like Chibi, Cy doesn’t write in any of my fandoms, but that’s fine. She writes the characters in a way that you don’t need to know the fandom to care about the story. The characters are real and raw and in such need of cuddles all the time. She does like her some hurt/comfort. She mostly writes in the FFXV fandom, rotating between the Big Four: Ignis, Prompto, Noctis, and Gladiolus. I think my favorite story is Choice, mostly because of the subversion of the Soulmates trope.

Now, can I be a little self-indulgent here and include myself? Does that sound arrogant? I dunno, I just think you should enjoy your own work, ya know? “Write for you” and all that?

You can find me on FFN here, and on AO3 here (and if you’re truly desperate, I even post on DA here).

Of course, my pride and joy is my first completed multi-chapter story: Peeping Tomcat. However, I also really love my one-shot Build Your Own Luck, simply because this is now my headcanon as to where The BraceletTM came from. My Lukanette story I Was Thinking Of You also has a special spot in my heart.

I tend to write as close to true-to-show as possible, and I’ve had a lot of reviews telling me it’s like reading an episode script. I am kind of obsessive with keeping the characters as in-character as possible, and keeping the facts as canonical as I can.

OKAY! Long post is long! Thanks for the ask, Cyhyr! And thanks for everyone for indulging me. Love you all, and feel free to drop me an ask.

Happy Friday! How did your writing week go?- from @thegirlfairytalesforgot (can't tell if my ask has sent from my main or not so I thought I'd sign off to be sure lol thanks tumblr app)

!!!

 Happy Friday (thank god it’s friday I have had A Week)

 It has not been a good week for writing lmao. I haven’t quite finished typing the next edited chapter of Expect to Fly bc I got home on Wednesday meaning to do it and like. stress cried over dumb job applications instead.

 I did however create a new character based on a bad joke so I’m pretty stoked about that.

 How’s your week been?

10, 20, 39, 40 and 51 for the fanfic writers ask thingies! Love u ^_^

Fandom/Fanfic questions! 

10.  Is there a fandom you read fic from but don’t write in?

There are a couple, some because I just don’t have time to write in all my fandoms under any psydonym lol, and some because I just am not drawn to writing for it but I enjoy seeing other peoples interpretations. Examples being- Hunger Games (there are some amazing fics hidden in this fandom) Community, and Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus. All fandoms I am invested in but have never felt like I personally have any story for. 

20. Any ships which you surprised yourself by liking?

Again this is something where there is almost always one ship in every fandom that sneaks up on me and while its rarely like my main OTP I end up really attached to it- usually its a pairing that has little canon support but that I really like the dynamic of the characters in show or the antagonist to lovers ships (never full enemies but like... school bullies who grow up kind of stuff) 

Examples: Chloenette from Miraculous Ladybug, Annie/Abed from Community, Percy/Nico/Annabeth OT3 from PJO (this one I totally got into because of fanfics and I got SOOOOO hooked. I didn’t think anything would take me away from straight Percabeth but I was wrong) Tom/Janna from SVTFOE

39. What is you greatest strength as a writer?

I think my greatest strength is developing characters. I am big on making sure that characters are rounded and relatable.(Not likeable or good per say but understandable and dynamic) 

40. What do you struggle the most with in your writing?

TRANSITIONS!!!!!!!!!!! I hate them so much ::sobs:: 

51. Rant or Gush about one thing you love or hate in the world of fanfiction! Go!

I love that fanfic allows for so many different interpretations and variations. I can see the same characters I love take on a whole host of new challenges and experiences or I can see characters who are slightly different based on someone else’s point of view which will be completely different from mine. It truly is amazing
