This is for the "new ask game for writers."

7. Favorite author, 8. Favorite trope to write, and 22. How many drafts do you need until you’re satisfied and a project is ultimately done for you?

New ask game for writers Thanks for the asks, @sithy-tricks !

Favorite author. I have a bunch! But that might take a while… @taraum and @inyri have been among my favorites since back in my ff.net days. More recently i've become immersed in the respective worlds of @raven-of-domain-kwaad and @starknstarwars . I heartily recommend all four!

Favorite trope to write. Fluff. I have a few couples who i find cute, and I enjoy that process. People seem to respond well, too.

How many drafts do you need until you’re satisfied and a project is ultimately done for you? Oooooh. This gets involved. It depends on how thorough the first draft is in fleshing out the actual story. I've produced drafts that made me depressed that they were not even outlines. That's happened a couple of times. And it required … more than eight drafts. (Yikes.) Usually, its three or four.

Thanks again for the asks!

Sometimes, a family is a Sith Lord, the Imperial agent who was sent to spy on Sith and his master, their love child, his disowned children, and her sister who is in the Republic army.

Oh Word?!?

Ngl I have very limited knowledge of star wars but from what I do know this seems like a Top Tier Family‼

When I create a new OC, it's because I can't stop thinking about them. I often have a backstory, relationship planned, and personality traits even before I start to work on the first draft of the fan fic or original work. These characters often live rent-free in my mind until I have motivation to write.

How do you guys start when creating your OC?

I'm sorry you have to deal with ignorant anons. With how they're screaming about "immoral" materials (to them), it really reminds me of the Bonfire of the Vanities. They need to have the material gone as they are "saving your followers", as if we need saving.

To the anon(s) who are sending in the asks, you really should do the mature thing: block and move on, if it bothers you this much. If not, then, you're really just trolling the RP / OC community, at this point.

Creators, professionally and otherwise, need the freedom to create what they wish to. Whether that be questionable characters, smut, or questionable acts. There are some people who heal from trauma by exploring those topics. Anon, who are you and your "group" to tell these people otherwise, as it doesn't fit your definition of "morale."

I won't even get into the "submissive" part of the complaint. Dominant / Submission can be a part of a healthy relationship, if both people are consenting adults. The sub usually has more power in that type of relationship, as they decide how far they want to go.

Again, I'm sorry that they're sending you these ignorant asks.

All of this ↑

Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

Night - for the WIP guessing game.

awwww this one has obi-wan dialogue :'''))) the way i love writing him omg; he's so fun <3 this is from my wip 'made in the a.m.'

“Rather the same as I did last night,” Obi-Wan replied before taking a sip, letting out a soft breath in satisfaction once he’d swallowed. Then, he smiled at you. “Although not a panacea—though it can cure some ills, in my experience—the tea is helping.”

wip word guessing game <3

Hello. I received your username on my OC Creator Bingo Card. I have a few questions about Ingrid, your beautiful Merlin OC.

How easy is it for Ingrid to lie, and does she lie often?

Does Ingrid get jealous easily? If yes, what makes her feel jealous?

Does she easily trust her feelings with others?

Has anyone ever betrayed Ingrid? If yes, how has her past affect her ability to trust?

Are there any famous quotes or saying that you feel particularly resonates with Ingrid? If so, what are they?

Hello, thank you so much for the ask

How easy is it for Ingrid to lie, and does she lie often? Oh very easily, ever since she found she had magic Ingrid had to lie for most of her life. Tbh it kinda comes as second nature to her, her dad is a pretty scheming guy so it kinda rubbed up on her.

Does Ingrid get jealous easily? If yes, what makes her feel jealous? Most of the time no, she lived comfortably and safely unlike other people (until her betrothal that is then her safety went to hell). Actually, loving parent-child relationship lmao yeah her dad was a cold person so she craves that, and obviously people with no magic.

Has anyone ever betrayed Ingrid? If yes, how has her past affected her ability to trust? Not by her friends thank god or her trust would be thinner than a thread, but she saw her betrothal to Arthur as a betrayal. The whole kingdom knew Uther's view on magic and her father planning to marry her off where she could easily be killed did broke her heart. It's not her past but more the circumstances that affect her ability to trust.

Are there any famous quotes or saying that you feel particularly resonates with Ingrid? If so, what are they? “March on. Do not tarry. To go forward is to move toward perfection. March on, and fear not the thorns, or the sharp stones on life's path.” tbh when I hear this one I think of Ingrid. When she got magic BAM she dealt with it, when Uther still hasn't married her to Arthur despise them being old enough BAM she made sure Uther liked her and had no reason to break off the betrothal etc,

Hello. I have you on my oc creator bingo card. I'm curious about your beautiful Liberty Dane, your Gilmore Girls OC. Her description sounds wonderful, by the way!

Who does Liberty turn to when in need?

Who does Liberty NOT trust? Why does she not trust this person? And is the feeling mutual?

Does Liberty's morals change throughout her life?

What does Liberty think about her past? Is she proud of her actions? Or does she regret much about the past?

What element (fire, water, earth, air, etc) do you think best fits Liberty's personality and why?

I look forward to your answers. 😊

Hello, fellow bingo player! I attempted to do this ask a few days ago but my phone froze, I lost my progress & motivation so that’s why it’s taken to long. 😅

1. Luke! It’s always been Luke - when she needs someone to lean on emotional , business advice, etc (though a antique shop is very different from a diner.)

2. On the opposite end of the spectrum, her older sister Liz. Things where never good between them and the breaking point was when Liberty out-right states she’s surprised Liz wasn’t the one to bolt after Jess was born.

3. Definitely! Teen!Liberty wouldn’t be sure what to think of adult!Liberty. She did some pretty reckless stuff and it back fires on her and it gives her the push to turn things around and ends up building a good life for herself

4. Liberty would probably got back and convince herself to do better in school - she’s smart enough she could have gone to an Ivy League but didn’t really care enough at the time. One big thing she does regret is not having a relationship with Jess, but yo do that would have meant.. something with Liz, which she didn’t want.

5. Fire! She’s passionate about the things in her life & is always willing to try something new, etc!

Tagged by @sithy-tricks - thank you so much! 🤭

So many people have helped me within this fandom, inspiring me to grow as a writer. I think... I'd like to do someone every week.

But I would like to start by thanking @the-raven-of-highever / @raven-of-domain-kwaad - whose support has definitely influenced my work. I wasn't sure how much I would develop my "future of the Halcyon Legacy" characters and stories, but I've taken the first step in that direction thanks almost entirely to you. I'm grateful for your prompts and asks, and I promise you I will get to them all... someday!

Thank you again!
