[donnotknow123]

I have a professor who recently retired. He’s in his early 80s and is such a grandpa.

He emailed me the other day asking if he could read what I’m working on (bold of him to assume I was actually writing). He’s probably one of the professors I’m closest to. He helped me put together my portfolio for my MFA, and later my MLIS application (when I dropped out of my MFA, he had words and was very tough on me while I was applying to library school). We still email every once in a while with life updates and cat videos.

Apparently retirement is boring, so he thought of me and my writing.

I told him I was working on something, but I didn’t think it would interest him because it wasn’t exactly original and wasn’t something I ever planned to publish (he was pretty anti-fanfiction when I was in college). Plus, NO ONE in my real life knows I write fanfiction. It’s my secret identity. I’m taking it to the grave. My sister knows to toss my computer and phone into a fire if I die, but she doesn’t know why.

Well…the man convinced me to send him the manuscript for The Monsters Who Loved Him.

This guy has published so many beautiful books. He’s one of the best writers I know, so it was pretty daunting. And he’s a slow, thoughtful reader. It took him forever to finish it.

We emailed back and forth the entire time he was reading. I reread the story alongside him, biting my nails the whole way.

He pointed out some “common rookie mistakes people make these days,” and told me, “I taught you better than to write like that. Stop that.” (He freaking loves me).

We dug deep into the characters—which ended up being his favorite part of the story. He loved Charlie and thought I based Sandoval on him (I didn’t). He also had a lot of thoughts about the formatting of Chapter 5. Lol. He wrote an award-winning verse novel, so he knows a thing or two about verse and the formatting choices I made there.

He suggested a handful of minor edits (which I recently made) and some major edits (which I’m choosing to ignore. He’s used to it).

Was this a nerve-wracking experience? Yes. I’m still feeling that leftover anxiety. But was it fun? Yes. It was.

It was so much fun talking about my work without feeling embarrassed by it. Fanfiction deserves to be taken seriously, and he treated it like a serious piece of writing. He analyzed the heck out of it and discussed it in the same way he used to discuss my assignments in college.

He did say, “You still write too damn much.”

I’m choosing to ignore that.

He also said, “Stop writing fanfiction and write an original story.”

I’m ignoring that too.

And he’s currently reading other Charlisle fics so he can better understand the ship. Retirement has changed the man.

Charlisle writers, just know that an 80-something-year-old man is currently making his way through your stories. Lurking as a guest and probably writing notes.

Anyway, he distracted me from writing for a while, but I’m finally getting back to it today.

Thanks for the tag @typicalopposite, @nine-one-wanton, and @judymarch15!

Share your most worked on (the longest in time or length/most detailed/etc) creation:

Guarded is the longest and took me the most time clocking in at 34,724 and took me from 10/18/25-12/31/25 (74 days) - my submission for FTH 2025, AU Tommy Kinard Bodyguard and Buck Firefighter, angst with a happy ending.

Share your least worked on creation:

Twice Struck is the shortest (600 words) but is pretty popular - Everyone thinks Tommy knew about the lightning strike already after Buck casually mentioned it during the Harbor Tour. I think Tommy was half paying attention because he was checking out Buck's ass. A short little one shot of him finding out the second time.

Your most popular creation:

By kudos: Leap of Faith (584 kudos) from BuckTommy Whump Week in 2024. The 118 engages in a lively debate about Buck’s relationship status while responding to an emergency call. During the intense fire rescue, Buck ends up in a dangerous situation, leading to a trip to the hospital. He struggles with a difficult question, and in his recovery he and Tommy talk about what they are to one another.

By hits: Finishing the List (9,657 hits) is a classic back from June 2024; Buck gets a (seemingly) harmless scratch but over time finds out it might be more than meets the eye. Buck/Tommy 15k sickfic, essentially.

Your least popular creation:

By kudos & hits: My Rarepair Summer Bingo "Nothing Hurts" Ficlet of Jeshan Mehta/Miranda Williams. 31 hits and 4 kudos. TBH pretty adorable if you ask me. Its only 1,009 words, give it a try!

The first of your creations:

Questionable At Best (and you can tell haha, but I love her dearly). Platonic Buddie, established canon relationships, set sometime in season 3, Buck post-tsunami but still on blood thinners. Sickfic and shameless Hurt/Comfort for our boy Buck.

The most recent of your creations:

Carry-On Chem for my girl @nine-one-wanton's birthday! A little humor/fluff AU meet cute for Buck/Tommy. When Buck picks up the wrong luggage at baggage claim - with the wrong passport zipped inside - he goes on the hunt to find the owner, and finds love along the way.

The weirdest one of your creations:

Ok I've written a few oddballs.

If you like Hot Frosty - BuckTommified it here with "Frost and Found." AU Buck is a snowman come to life. Surprisingly heartfelt.

Seashells & Jellyfish stings of the Buck's Crazy Dreams collection. Buck/Tommy and jizz to cure jellyfish stings. I think that covers it.

Truck 118 & The Life She Chose to Live. POV of Truck 118 protecting her family. It's as weird as you probably think but also really sweet. I dare you to read it.

The most difficult one for you to create:

I think Overdrive was the one that pissed me off the most writing it. But! I did cry writing a few because they were heavy.

43 years old (MCD!) was hard to write (follow-up to "The Clothes that Shaped Tommy").

Lunch Every Tuesday (Referenced Canonical Death) was also hard to write but also very rewarding. I liked that one.

The easiest one for you to create:

both tiny heartbeats and broken wings were really fun and felt very easy to write. grateful for @30somethingautisticteacher and @typicalopposite because they basically dared me to write a baby fic and when i started writing it, they loved it so much i kept going. and i got a whole universe of fics from that! edie, my little bebe. 💕

Your favorite creation!

ok well that's impossible. so here are 3 that are a good idea of my writing if you're new.

action: United Front - this is what you can expect from my multi-chapters. canon compliant, a lot of characters, a lot of turmoil, and a lot of fun.

sickfic: Losing Sight - i loveeeee a sickfic. ive written 10 or maybe more? check them out if that's your jam, many pairings. this one is bucktommy.

poetic/character study: Weightless - shoutout to @judymarch15 who loves this fic so much and i love her for it. i love these kind of metaphorical, lyrical vibes at times. i have a collection called atmospheric angst with similar fics if you like.

[I'm going to go longest in length for this one because some of my WIPs are still in progressing for an embarrassing amount of time that we're just not going to acknowledge, okay, thank youuu]

500 Miles - Part 22 of my Herrmann/Halstead Production series (OneChicago) and it is just over 88K! Written in approximately 3 months too which is BONKERS to me now, lol

Share your least worked on creation

Probably my Tumblr ficlet series? These are all little 9-1-1 guys that I wrote almost exclusively whilst in bed, telling myself to go to sleep, but needing to just get an idea out of my brain and making it Tumblr's problem.

Your most popular creation

By kudos: Hey, I Just Met You, and This is Crazy - BuckTommy alternate first meeting speed dating meet cute shenanigans

By hits: i'll see us through the thick and thin - part two in the Those Kinard Kids series and I promise I will finish it at some point!

Your least popular creation

By kudos: A tie between Saddle Up, Boys (Brad and Bobby bodyswap crack fic WIP) and

By hits: The Only Question Needed - a sad little Bobby talks with Death ficlet

The first of your creations

Oopsie Baby - the first in a very sprawling OneChicago fanfic series where I had no idea what I was getting myself into 😂

The most recent of your creations

Saddle Up, Boys - a birthday fic for @nine-one-wanton (Brad and Bobby bodyswap) that is currently a WIP that is going to be three chapters instead of two because these two will not be stopped, lol

Shane Hollander vs The Good Stuff - me dipping my toe into the Heated Rivalry/Game Changers fandom after falling completely in love with the characters (from the show and the books.) More to come on this front...

The weirdest one of your creations

Probably one of the most unusual ones that I've done was the Choose Your Own Adventure BuckTommy fic (started on Tumblr and transferred over the finished product to ao3.) It was super fun and I'll definitely do it again some day (but a lot of work so not sure when)

The 'Tommy Writes Hotshots Fanfic' series probably also fits this bill just for the meta goofiness.

The most difficult one for you to create

Leave a Light On - Major Character Death fic that @sunnywithachanceofbi REQUESTED FOR HER BIRTHDAY

That Herrmann/Halstead DNA - another very dark and emotional one for me just for the content and then also because I was finally getting to write the scene that I'd had in my brain since I started the series two years earlier so the whole experience was a lot.

The easiest one for you to create

Just Trying to Keep Up - I remember this BuckTommy fic just pouring out of me when I wrote it. ❤️

Colin Firth Thinks You're Hot - another one where I just felt like I was writing down a scene as it happened, if that makes any sense?

Your favorite creation!

Oh, man - this is an impossible question! I genuinely love every fic I've written. That's why they're out there! Also, my favourite one is usually always whatever I'm currently working on 😂 and I have some WIPS that I genuinely can't wait to share so keep an eye out for that.

Two of my absolute favourites that are kind of under the radar are definitely Big Brother is Watching (and Giving You Kudos) as well as A Kinley Christmas Carol. And I think I'd say the Herrmann/Halstead Production series as a whole because it's a pretty massive creation and I'm proud of it. I always give the caveat that it's very self-indulgent (because it is, lol), but I think that's what makes fanfiction fun, right? I definitely came to play and have a good time with this one AND it's also a very fleshed out world that I'm pretty proud of! I'll definitely be returning to it at some point as I keep writing my other fanfic adventures.

This was really fun! Thanks for creating it, @typicalopposite! I always love strolling down fanfic memory lane. ❤️❤️❤️

Never let your fear stop you from putting your work out there. You could be depriving me of my new fave.
