2, 16, and 24 for the writing asks? 👀

Omg thank you for the ask :D 💙

2 - a character whose POV you’re currently exploring

Oh definitely Quinlan Vos! I've been reading the Legends comics he appears in and he's such a different person from that one (1) TCW ep we got with him and from fanon. He's broody, he's haughty, he's uncertain in his relationship to the Force but denies having those issues to anyone, including himself. And yet he can be so gentle and loving with the people he cares about (like Aayla and Tholme), it's amazing. I still have to figure out how to write him falling in love!

In the meantime, please admire his phenomenal Kubrick stare <3

16 - favorite place to write

Well it used to be the train because I have a fairly long way to campus and back, and I used to bang out entire scenes during just one ride... but that was before I had mobile data on my phone. Then I got a subscription and access to the internet without needing Wifi, and well. It's much harder to focus on writing now 😔 I'd say my second-favourite place is my bed though.

24 - how do you recharge when you’re not feeling creative?

Damn, that's something you can do?? 😂 No seriously though, I think I mostly just power through writer's block phases (like right now). Or I go for a walk, it helps me generate ideas almost as well as standing in the shower or thinking writer thoughts right before falling asleep.

16, 22, 24 for the writing asks? 😆

16. What's your favorite title of the year?

Definitely What We Did on Felucia. It was originally a joke title taken from one of Tech's lines, and... yeah. It's just the title now. And every time I watch episode one of TBB and he says that line, it fucking throws me

22. What writing programs did you use? Did you write by hand?

I've used Word since the late 90s, and as much as I despite Microsoft, I'll probably keep using Word the rest of my life. I did write by hand as a kid, though

24. Did you do anything special to celebrate finishing a fic?

Order takeout, though I will use literally any excuse to order takeout. I also try to watch a movie or two, or catch up with a show I missed. I let myself rest for a little bit, and then I'm on to the next one

5, 9, and 23 for the song asks? 😆

5:A song that needs to be played LOUD This was hard because I've got several songs that need to be played LOUD but I picked an old favorite:

9:A song that makes you happy It would be cheating to use same song as above, so picked this instead:

23:A song that you think everybody should listen to Once again, I had to flip the proverbial coin before could choose one but here we go

oh the various OTP fics I've thought about while listening to this one

Ohhh 43 for the wip game if I’m not too late? Harrinski sounds like a very shiny ship 👀

Harrinski is definitely a favorite of mine to write. This one is the final part in my Stiles/Steve series The Curse of Stiles Stilinski where Stiles leaves Beacon Hills and goes to Hawkins after his dad dies, thinking that he cursed to have everyone that loves him die. There is angst but I've promised myself I'd give it a happy ending 😅

There's a loud screech that has Stiles jerking the walkie back from his ear, then cursing, and the sound of footsteps running away. The shrieking gets closer and there's a crunch and then nothing but static. 

“Shit,” he mutters, playing with the walkie. “Shit, shit, shit!”

“We have to go, kid,” Hopper says to him. Stiles shakes his head. “No. We have to go find Steve.”

“Stiles, you heard the same thing I did,” Hopper says gently.

“That doesn't mean anything,” Stiles says. “He could just be hurt. And he needs us. I can't just leave him!”

Even as he argues, Mike's voice keeps echoing in his head with words he never wanted to hear. Especially not about Steve. 

He's gone. He's gone. He's gone.

But he can't be gone. Stiles saw him only a couple hours ago alive and well. He'd kissed him before they parted and Steve had promised he'd see him later. 

He can't just be gone.

🥮 for the writing emoji ask!

🥮 Do you have any writing milestones you're working toward?

Ooh good question. I think I've met most of the milestones that have made me feel accomplished as a writer. At this point, I'm thankful if I can finish a story. That's the real milestone lol

Fic Writer Asks

[sergeantgoggles]

Can I ask about your personal favorite, the Time Travel AU?? 👀👀

Okay, getting around to this ask!

The Time Travel AU sees Commander Cody and Obi-Wan (alongside Rex and Anakin) inside of an old, abandoned Jedi Temple, where they happen upon a holocron unlike anything they've ever seen. Insert lore dumping and timey-wimey things here, and voila! Cody and Obi-Wan have found themselves 55 years in the future, during the time of the First Order. They're discovered and captured by Rebel scouts, who bring them before Leia to determine what they should do with them.

In comes a slightly older, slightly greying Kix, who has joined the Rebels as a medic and strategist, who recognizes them immediately. It's a little awkward, but he's so excited to see another clone again, much less a clone he KNOWS.

Grab a pot, throw in some "my husband is dead" and a bit of "my partner is 50 years in the past" and a dash of "we could make this work" and huzzah! You've got yourself a Cody/Kix fic, complete with Obi-Wan still trying to find a way back to their time, Finn and Poe being the worst (read as: the best) wingmen ever, and Omega, old, but still going, happy to have another brother to look after.

I would love to one day write this out proper, because it will hurt so good. Thank you for asking!

Ask me about a WIP!

Circus 2 - Airship Pirates for the wip game? 👀

"Of course you did." Considering what all Julian read, it could have come from just about anything: an engineering magazine, a book on manners from Before, or the most torrid romance novel ever published. Makoto had his bets on which it was.
