2. Which writers do you wish you wrote like?
Maayan. TheMonkeyCabal. So many others but those are the two most consistent. And they’re both so, so different. With Maayan her style is just exquisite and manages to be spare as fuck without sacrificing on imagery and impact. Which I will never figure out. And with Nina, it’s plot married to wit and the most sparkly dialogue on the planet. It’s humor and fun but she rocks the rubber meets the road angst when it’s called for. I would not be sad if I managed to get close to either of their calibers.
9. Talk about a scene that stayed with you
For older stuff, it’d be the prologue to Maayan’s Red Shift. I had to go looking through the fics to figure out which story started with that prologue but I knew the second I found it. Something about it ending with
"When we're done and everybody's safe, I'll go," he had said. "Home? To Earth?" she asked. "I'll pick a planet."
stuck with me. That idea that he could leave them all. That he believed he needed to leave them all and that maybe he was right. But mostly it’s the image of Aeryn studying him, naked, this John that is not her John but is, with his missing scars and just trying to imprint him into her memory. I dunno. It’s classic Maayan and it’s stayed with me for 13 years or so.
And then more recently, there’s andymcnope opening chapter Too Busy Being Yours To Fall which was so achey and gut wrenching and sweet and it sticks under my ribs and buzzes.
12. What was a fic you did not know you needed until you’d read it?
jinjoint‘s The Next Shore. It was everything I needed during the mid season 2 hiatus that I didn’t realize I needed.
14. Rec a fic, any fic
If you’re down for a long hall, themonkeycabal‘s Run Verse makes me ridiculously happy. It’s Darcy as Tony Stark’s daughter done in a way that makes me absolutely, 100% believe it.
If you’re looking for something shorter and just fun, I’m currently enamored with ponyregrets‘s And That’s Terrible which is Bellamy as not!Superman. It’s hilarious and sweet.
My days reccing angst are basically over. I enjoy reading it but it’s kind of a personal thing so I’ll stick to the more upbeat.
FAN FIC WRITER'S MEME

3. What's the part of the fic I'm most proud of?
Honestly, if you put a gun to my head, I could never write this fic again. There are so many lines that I look at and think, Holy shit, that came out of my brain, and then, fuck, it will never be that good again. (There is a lot of cursing in my psyche.) For instance: He just does it in his own way, since things started creaking around the edges, everyone needing to tiptoe over the loose floorboards of their relationship. That was kind of my favorite, and probably the first thing I wrote for it.
I think my other proudest element is that the dialogue all turned out just the way I wanted it. All of it was very spare, but very heavy on meaning, if that makes any sense. I love to write dialogue, and I want it to be real, and have weight, but no so much that you have to parse the language.
10. If I had to sum up this fic in a sentence it would be...
Come for the banter, stay for the angst.
themoonbar replied to your post “i see that fandom is all up on clarke/lexa now, but i can’t stop...”
I would give my eye tooth for a Lexa/Anya warrior apprentice story. Just sayin.
...goddamn it, so would i. fuck. fuck.
themoonbar replied to your post “So it’s Lexa, then. And of course her lover is dead. Of course. Shock...”
I think this means people need to start writing Lexa/Clarke immediately
When you said this yesterday I was in the firm NOPE category for various reasons. But after watching the ep? Eep! I might be pretty firmly in the yep category. If I don't write at least one aromantic sex partners who lead together fic in the next month it'll be a damn miracle. ::hands::
themoonbar replied to your post:Are any of you darlings experts on 1940s New...
I bet the captain america fandom has some excellent and thorough compilations. I know nothing about said fandom, but I’ve definitely seen long posts about this on my dash in the past
Oh my gosh, you GENIUS. Thank you so much!
I bet they're all nitpicky and detail-oriented too, it'll be glorious.
themoonbar replied to your post:I appreciate what Mindy has been attempting with this season. It's interesting to not have to paint a pretty romantic picture with everything they do. However, she did lay this relationship on us pretty thick last year. It was unique but def romantic. It's not necessary for them to be "old shoes" in every episode following that. I live for the end scenes and it's not enough. I feel like Mindy makes a point to cut off most of their sweet scenes together. Like she gets off on being withholding :)
I know this is mostly missing the point, but oh man did I hate Buffy’s sixth season
So did I when I first saw it, but I first saw it when I was 14 so to be frank I think I was missing the point a lot. Watching it now, I have a much greater appreciation for the arcs even when I find them really heavy and hard to take, and even when the emotional damage done to the characters is hard to stomach.
I think they could have told the season differently, and the characters we grew to love in the early seasons kind of all turned into terrible people, but I can still appreciate it as a season much better now, and some of it I actually really love.
TMP's new season I just straight-out adore.
