What's your most controversial whump opinion?

I don't know how controversial it is, but I'm personally not a fan of fics that just use generic "whumper", "whumpee", etc, especially when the characters seem like a blank slate. Obviously there are always exceptions, and this format is great for prompts, but I tend to turn away from longer fics that use it 😶

I'm more lenient for "hero" or "team leader" etc. I think in my head the word "whumpee" is automatically associated with the "innocent broken cinnamon roll" character type, which isn't my preference at all in whump.

What’s an OC or story that never made it past the planning phase?

Poor Myn and Solan 😭. I've had this 'dethroned royal villain whumpee' fic plotted out for over a year now, but I've never made it past the first chapter. Aspects that make me super excited and keep me holding onto it:

-its a Middle Eastern-inspired fantasy setting that looks really cool in my imagination

-the whump in the story is the twelve city-states that make up the country each choosing a karmic punishment for the former king

-it's called "Thirteen Moons" which is objectively one of the coolest titles I've ever come up with

The main drawback is I haven't come up with a compelling arc for Myn, the protagonist/caretaker. Whump is the main plot ofc, but I need something else to hold it together

Happy STS Elli :D

Do you associate any music with your stories or ocs? If so what songs are they?

- @whumpinthepot

Happy STS!

I do not often hear a song and think "oh, that's blorbo material". Back in the day, as I mentioned before, I listened to Arion - You're my Melody on repeat while writing Glass Shards, so that's always a bit of a GS song for me. The other stories were named after songs as well, so of course I connect them a bit, but they don't really match.

Which makes it so much worse HmW is still called Heal my Wounds.

But then people said tumblr likes moodboards, and likes playlists (I still think that was a lie), so I made some, and now I do have a playlist for each, and most songs I do associate with scenes. The lyrics and the mood have to match, but I also have to like the music. I spent days combing through stuff until I found songs that were fitting.

For example, I listened a lot to Fivefold - Till Death, while editing... who would have thought. Till Death, and I giggled when I found Avantasia - Lavender, because Merry likes lavender so much.

So yeah, kinda backwards. The stories were usually done when I went fishing for songs, and all the songs are on the playlists, and the playlists are on the masterlists.
