I am so so tempted to ask for all the 300 word scenes. For any Komatsu/Kings: 1, 11, 24, 26. Or 23 if you have writing time+inclination please???

1. Something they both find funny - I HAVE NO IDEA OH GOD. Sunny and Zebra probably both like teasing Komatsu (gently!) about his height, which Komatsu takes goodnaturedly? Toriko and Komatsu probably both like more slapstick/silly/physical kinds of things.

11. What causes them to fight? Okay, so Zebra picks fights especially when he’s anxious, mostly by being as awful as possible until Komatsu’s frustrated. He likes/needs someone who won’t leave when he’s pushed, and he tests his boundaries, sometimes gently, sometimes not. With Toriko, the big one is Toriko ignoring glaring problems and pretending nothing’s going on at all and everything is fine. Komatsu with any of them - it’s definitely Komatsu trying too hard to not be a problem, keeping issues to himself, pretending everything’s fine when it’s not. Which is actually a pretty nice parallel to Toriko’s problems! Komatsu and Sunny fight when Sunny says something thoughtless. Coco and Komatsu, it’s usually Komatsu arguing with Coco about not limiting himself or cutting himself off from everyone.

24. What is something they’ve had to forgive the other for? OKAY SO HONESTLY KOMATSU IS TOO FORGIVING. Remember when Toriko killed Komatsu???? REMEMBER THAT?????? And Zebra spent like a week terrorizing Komatsu as much as possible. Sunny was an outright bitch. Coco was just like “lol you gonna die.” This is the INTRODUCTIONS they had to him.

26. What are their favorite parts about physical affection/sex? Zebra loves submitting. He loves letting Komatsu take the lead, or letting Komatsu push him around, laying with his head in his lap, loves pushing and having Komatsu not move, literally because that doesn’t work figuratively. ...also just there’s the giveaway answer here, which is their respective senses. Zebra loves listening to Komatsu’s heartbeat, tracks it whenever he’s in range. Toriko loves the way Komatsu smells. Sunny loves wrapping Komatsu up in his grasp, not controlling his movements but feeling all of him, feeling the way he moves, “tasting” him. And Coco - Coco loves/is guilty about how much he loves Komatsu touching him, because he’s got so many hangups about physical touch.

Annnd I will probably give 23 a stab tomorrow, but thank you so much for asking!!!!

I really wish you could feel safe and happy just posting your fic where you want. I don't have a good answer, but it's good you're taking care of yourself and assessing if there is stress you can't/don't want to deal with. Would blocking the user(s) in question help or is it coming from lots of people? I know there was the one really horrid person on your case before. *hugs*

It’s only been one person who’s been a major problem, but the main issue is that you can’t turn off anon reviews on FFnet anymore, which is THE WORST DECISION EVER MADE. So, that one person does just keep on leaving anon reviews, and I can’t block them. :\

Actually, I guess by now there’s a solid chance that they’ve lost interest entirely, since it’s been literally 2 and a half years since I last updated. Hmmmm....

Whoa! That's amazing to hear! I'm really excited - Favorite Toriko fic and all. But take it easy, okay. Don't force yourself and stuff, right?

Thank you so much!!! For the compliment and the sentiment.

I actually just had one of my antidepressants doubled, and writing has gone from “incredibly difficult” to “easy and sometimes enjoyable” in the span of a month or so. Related? It seems very likely!

4 Share a sentence or paragraph from your writing that you’re really proud of. 8 Is what you like to write the same as what you like to read? 14 At what point in writing do you come up with a title? 16 Tried anything new with your writing lately? (style, POV, genre, fandom?) 18 Do any of your stories have alternative versions? 19 Is there something you always find yourself repeating in your writing? 24 Would you say your writing has changed over time? 25 What part of writing is the most fun?

crol i'm poking in my inbox and i have no idea when this is from (or how to tell when it's from??) since it's from a different meme question set than I reblogged today!

but like, I love these and should have answered??

4. oh god like this is asking me to brag it's hard. hmmm. at present there's a WIP fragment that hasn't even made it to chatfic yet (@niqaeli and I were talking about it in person!) about tastefully draped sex tapes that I keep giggling about

14. it varies. sometimes I write the whole thing and stare at the posting interface trying to come up with something. sometimes i come up with something really clever (usually punny) in brainstorming phase. There's not usually an in between.

16. idk lol my last couple of fandoms have felt very much like retreads (FMAB after FMA '03, Good Omens show fandom after having written for book fandom ages ago). maybe--consciously dealing with my issues through fanfic instead of realizing well after the fact?

18. sort of? like, things go through phases as i fit the pieces together, but like, there ends up being a Right version, not an either/or version most of the time. (There's one time travel plotbunny that has the "we made it back to the future" and "we had to take the long way around" branches, and one spy story that ends on a question of whether one lover will actually follow through on an order to kill the other. Mind you neither of those are actually completed and posted.)

19. lately poly, every fandom i get into and story i start writing is like, extended polycule

24. probably but i don't know how to be more specific lol

25. based on what I do the most, just brainstorming and chatficcing and bouncing ideas around? committing to prose is hard and posting is like... idek there's a satisfaction to it, but it's not active it's final

So to add old fills on AO3 do we need to add the old prompts first? Would it be annoying for the mods to add a selection of old prompts or should it just be left open for new prompts?

I added the old prompts related to my fills on AO3, so you can feel free to go ahead and do that as long as you credit the right Tumblr prompt by including a link to the Tumblr post. That way you can officially associate the right fic with the right prompt.

I wonder if the shoe thing is regional. I grew up in Minnesota where you ALWAYS took your shoes off. In Arizona it seems to be less of a rule. I even have one friend who you don't take your shoes off at her house b/c the dogs will steal and hide them (not chew, just hide), and I always keep my shoes on at my parents' place because they get bark scorpions so often I'm not risking it. Also I remember mud rooms being super common in MN but I can only think of one person I know in AZ who has one.

Huh dang. Yeah I sure don’t know how things are down there in the hotter climates. I’m all the way up north here in snow country.

DANG YEAH keep ya shoes on if there’s dang SCORPIONS

*high pitched squee* Can I please express how happy I am the rain prompts post is tagged werewolf inspo? :D

I really, really need to write Komatsu taking care of Zebra, because I think in every ‘verse but werewolfverse especially Zebra needs to be taken care of! Like, it means so much to him to have someone looking after him? Thinking about his needs and wants and desires, not just to pacify him but to make him happy, to make him comfortable, to take some of the burden off of him. Because he can take care of himself, he can make sure all his needs and wants and desires are met, he can and has done everything for himself, but he shouldn’t have to. And Komatsu sees that, and tries to figure out his favorite foods, and takes the time to get to know him, and doesn’t fold when Zebra pushes at him (and in terms of things I think Zebra fundamentally needs, it’s someone who’ll argue with him instead of being terrified, someone who trusts him enough to argue with him)--

So, the story where Komatsu meets the last werewolf King he hasn’t met yet, and takes care of him. And Komatsu toweling off wolf-shaped Zebra and then maybe brushing him, because he’ll be fine if he’s wet and his fur will sort itself out the next time he shifts so mats aren’t a problem, but he shouldn’t have to. And Komatsu will make sure he’s warm and dry and get him something to eat.
