Tumblr Blog Masterlist

How do you want to be known on Tumblr? 

Salem, Sai, or saibug are all good! They/he pronouns

1- When did you start playing Choices? What was the first book you played? 

I started playing Choices in 2017-ish, I don’t remember what my first book was for sure but I remember the first book I played that really drew me in and got me into the app was The Elementalists.

2- When and why did you join Choices fandom?

I don’t think I really joined the fandom until…a few weeks after that mass cancellation announcement where they announced they’d cancelled It Lives 3, Elementalists 2, Nightbound 2, Hero 2, and RoD 2.

3- How did you pick your blog name? 

Originally it was a mashup of my dead name and a sweet nickname from my childhood, so when I came out I just changed it to incorporate my new name instead :)

4- Pull up the first post in your archive, and tell us about it!  

It was a repost of this screenshot and honestly I was right and should say it. Also this question taught me the archive feature existed so thank you that’ll come in handy lmao

5- Do you write fanfiction, create fan art, or are you one of those really gifted people who do both? 

I write fanfiction! I am trying to learn and practice art so who knows what could happen in the future. Oh and I also do lots of edits :)

6- How long have you been creating for Choices and for any other fandoms?

If we’re talking my true origins I actually started writing by writing Supernatural x reader fics in like 2017, but I didn’t start writing the fics I write now until Sanders Sides in 2019 and then I finally got around to Choices in about 2022 lmao. 7- What is your favorite Choices book, and what is your favorite Choices book to create for?

My favorite book is probably ILITW which is probably obvious, but as for my favorite book to CREATE for that’s tied between It Lives Within and BOLAS.

8- Share your first Choices fanfic or fan art that you posted with us. Do you still like it, or would you change it if you were creating it today?

Word Count: 2.4k Nik Ryder x M!MC (Alex) Link to F!MC Version A/N: I know, I know, Nightbound 2 post, I'm working on it! But someone (@ladyl

My first fic was for Nightbound, called The Wrong Engagement. I still like it overall but I think I’d definitely change some things. When I first started writing for Choices I was so so focused on trying to keep MC as vague as possible while still giving them some character, so the stories often came across as bland or even boring.

9- What is your favorite piece of fiction or art that you created? 

Word Count: 2,311 Lucas Thomas x M!MC (Valen) Part 2, Part 3, Part 4 A/N: Okay this is different than my other Choices fic. Number one, this

My absolute favorite fic is actually something I don’t think I ever posted, but my favorite I’ve posted has probably gotta be a classic which is Val’s Resurrection. There are definitely some things I’d probably change now but it’s the longest fic I’ve written, still really holds up, and I’m really proud of the characterizations in it.

10- Do you have a fic/art that you didn’t expect to be well received, but it was? What about one you expected to do well but found it could use a little more love?

Word Count: 2.2k Tyril Starfury x Asterin Nightbloom (MC), Mal Volari x Asterin Nightbloom (MC), subtle hints of Tyril x Mal A/N: We are S

Word Count: 1.1k Taylor (ES MC) and Callum Wyland (Hero MC), Jake McKenzie x Taylor (ES MC) A/N: Okay. There's gonna be a lot of things in h

Walls of Regret is probably my biggest fic ever and let me tell you when I posted and wrote it I did not expect it to do as well as it did but I’m so glad it did. I can definitely think of some fics I think people would really like that didn’t get much love, including pretty much everything from the Windverse, but I gotta say Let The Shadows Fall Behind You, which is a fic/scene from my personal ongoing project, a Hero and Endless Summer Crossover

11- If you could write only angst, fluff, or smut for the rest of your writing life, which would it be and why? 

Angst, wholeheartedly, no hesitation. Angst is not only my talent but kind of what I’m known for. I actually kind of struggle to write fluff and ESPECIALLY smut. I’ve only done it a few times and it took days of me staring at the page for days and getting out maybe one sentence an hour.

12 - Do you ever recognize yourself in any of your MCs or in your writing?

Oh all of them. Every single MC has a little piece of me, whether it’s my experiences or my personality or my style or my interests or even the way I talk. 

13 - What element of writing/art do you struggle with most?

With smut at least I get ideas. I struggle so much with even getting ideas for fluff. My favorite things is to dive into the emotions and pain and trauma PB dance around, and finding the beauty in the dark things. I defer to the other amazing writers on this app for the fluff and I consume their fluff fics like a drowning man

14 - Do you have any neglected work you really want to finish?

Two things off the top of my head. My concept for a Hero sequel which includes an Endless Summer crossover. I mentioned that earlier. The second is something fondly called Into the Rowan-verse which was where my two ILW MCs, Castor and Julian, get stuck hopping through the multiverse and meeting a bunch of other people’s MCs.

15 - If someone you know in real life (who isn’t involved in fandoms) asked to see your work, would you let them? If yes, what would you show them first? 

It highly depends on the person and then from there I think I’d just show them my edits or character profiles because my fics you tend to need either full contextual knowledge or at least basic knowledge of the book.

16 - Are there any writers (published authors and/or fanfic writers) who influenced your writing or art? Are there any artists that influence you?

Published writers definitely Rick Riordan, he’s seriously influenced how I use character voices. But from the fandom my biggest inspirations right now are usually @aces-and-angels and @oh-so-you’re-a-nerd 

17- Which one of your stories would you most like to see as a movie/series? 

If I saw Into the Windverse does that count as cheating? But otherwise I’d die for my version of the It Lives Anthology (including ILW and Into the Rowanverse) to be made into a tv show with my headcanons, changes, and MCs.

18- Do you write original fiction or create non-fandom art? 

I do! I have an entire book trilogy fully plotted out that I’m working on writing, plus just writing a bunch with my own OCs.

19 -  What other hobbies do you have?

Pretty much just OC related things tbh. I watch tv a lot and YouTube, I play video games sometimes, and I listen to music ALL the time

So, @saibug1022 made the Choices version of Marianna Howard and I had to show y'all! 😍🫶🏻 I'm forever in love with this ❤❤❤

[itlivesproject]

Sooooo we got this for Abel. Now we have to know how Lincoln would propose, and the other LIs of you're up for it 👀

Lincoln

Lincoln is actually very much a romantic. He would make a plan, and he would stick to it, but it'd be a very intimate plan and absolutely no one else would know that he made the plan. Like, no one hiding in the bushes with a camera, no big display for everyone to see. He'd probably think of a place with a lot of meaning to both of you and go there and set up a nice romantic dinner/picnic. I'm imagining like some kind of garden or place out in the woods or something. Somewhere in nature where no one else could be around to bother you guys. He'd invite you out like a regular date and drive you over there. You'd have wine and candles, and it'd be very beautiful. Then, he'd just kind of wait for the right moment during dinner to take out the ring, hold it out to you, tell you how much you mean to him, and ask you to marry him.

Amalia

I think Amalia would make a whole big plan about how to ask you, from getting your favorite flowers to your favorite food to your favorite music playing in the background. She'd map out the whole night, and while everything would be executed flawlessly, you'd notice that something was up with her. She's acting more nervously than usual, and she makes some little mistakes (like saying a word wrong or calculating an amount wrong) that she normally wouldn't make unless she was really flustered. Then she takes you to the perfect spot and asks you to marry her. Afterward, you celebrate with her family and take pictures together.

Jocelyn

Jocelyn is a lot more impulsive. I think she would buy a ring and then carry it around, and when the moment is right and she feels it, she’ll just ask you. Maybe it’s after a workout and she’s looking at you, and she knows that she never wants to live without you, and she doesn’t care if she’s sweaty and dirty, she pulls the ring out and ask you to marry her. Or maybe it’s after a romantic date. Or maybe it’s while you’re hanging out at home together. The point is, it’s impulsive and romantic and perfect.
