re: the post about "finding a fic that is everything you want," i just wanted to say that i'm right there with that person in that whatever pieces is such a gift to the kmc fanndom/tag and was so very much what i was looking for when i first tried to find fic for this ship after the series i've been writing was born in a discord server

like, your fic inspired me to keep writing for these three because it threw gasoline on the flames for how much i love them, and i go back to your work all the time as a comfort fic. it's so beautiful, and so beautifully done, and i'm so grateful for its existence. the last 50k words i've written would not exist without having found whatever pieces

thank you, eternally, for sharing it with us

I am quite literally banging my head against my desk right now djkkdsfdjksjkfsdkjdg how am I being praised so much bawshahwhashfashfhashf

This is so so very kind of you to say. Thank you very very much! I am so pleased to know that WPCYW inspires you to keep writing, and I hope you do keep writing KimMacauChay! I really think KinnPorsche as a series overall is so ripe with possibilities when it comes to polyamory or even just threesome fics, and it's been really nice to explore some of canon and a lot of fanon/post canon through the lens of Macau. I hope you write 50,000 more words of them!

WPCYW is nearing it's end and it just means a whole lot to me that you and others have reached out to talk about it and that you love it. I am so grateful for you and everyone else who reads it and encourages me. I sincerely hope you enjoy the ending. 🖤🖤🖤

Smol note: also, I really hope your week is going well! and that work isn't too taxing either! Always rooting for you.

fic authors self rec! when you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. spread the self-love~<333333 (omg i literally cannot remember if i just sent you this, so please ignore if i did!)

Ahhh hello friend ^.^ Thank you for thinking of me!!

My favorite five fics I've written, in no particular order:

Still Painting Flowers for You (KinnPorsche, Tankhun & Pete, T) I really like this story because I don't think Tankhun and Pete's dynamic is explored enough in canon. Pete implies that guarding Tankhun is odd, but I can't imagine Tankhun would put up with a guard he doesn't like. It was nice to explore how they might have bonded through trauma and nail polish.

Your Look, Through This Lens (KinnPorsche, Kim/Chay, E) Sort of self-explanatory. I like thinking about Chay and how he's had to mature so quickly due to his upbringing with Porsche. I think YLTTL is an example of Chay trying to be alone and mature because he's 18, working to get out of poverty, trying to fulfill a dream his parents had, but also that teenage impulse to follow your heart over your brain. Over a year since this story has been completed and while it's not my best work, I think it's definitely the best gift I've ever given someone.

Roses, Cold. Roses, Sold Out (KinnPorsche, Vegas/Pete, T) I just really love my short fics haha. I think they do the best job in capturing what sort of writing I am. I love thinking about Pete and Vegas interacting with one another between what we're given in canon, and this is an example of that.

The Horror of Being Stuck in Traffic with Your Brother-in-Law (KinnPorsche, Pete & Macau, T) Macau is such an interesting character to me, and there's so much to explore with him. I'd like to think he and Pete have a rocky relationship first before he totally becomes attached to his brother in law.

Longing for the Shore (Football RPF, Unai Simon/Pedri Gonzalez, M) This is funny because I only started writing this story two weeks ago, but i'm already 25,000 words in and so attached to it. It's going to be another emotional blunder, in true Dawn fashion: falling in love, looking at the settings and factors that may keep two people apart when they want to be together. I'm also really lucky that Football RPF fans have been so helpful in the research for this fic. Writing this one is a lot of fun: more fun than I've had in weeks, if I'm honest.

Thank you for the ask game, friend :3

40, 41, and 53 😊

Hallo friend 🐢

I answered 40 below, but another great piece of advice I've gotten was "Write bravely," when I was worried about my dissertation topic!

41. what is the weirdest story idea you’ve ever had.

Hmmm. I don't know if I have really out there or weird ideas haha. I feel like the weirdest story I've written has to be the Football RPF stuff, but that's weird to write, not necessarily a weird story idea. I write really plain things so that's all I've got. 😭

53. when writing, do you have an outline? and do you stick to it?

If it's a multi chapter story, then there's definitely an outline and the main plot points of that story are set in stone. If I'm writing something and it's a WIP that I've shared on ao3 or with people, I know the ending to it and there's probably an outline (seriously detailed or just quick) somewhere. Most one shots of mine do not have an outline though!

Thank you for the asks!! :3

Ask me writer things!
