Blog Mechanics! :D

Originally titled “Quick Rundown of Blog Mechanics! :D” but if you read the whole thing you’ll see why I changed it.

In this rundown we will discuss prompts, tagging, organization (with a subsection on ship organization), warnings, ratings, and what you won’t see.

Prompts:

Prompts are found by using #prompts. All prompt lists have a second tag, which is the name of the list. When submitting a prompt, use the name and the number of the prompt. If you want to be extra sure the right prompt has been received, you can write the prompt out in the ask. Prompts can also be of your own creation, of course.

As for ships, if you do not know the name, especially for poly ships, it's totally okay and encouraged to just write Character A/Character B/Character C (romantic pairing) or Character A & Character B (platonic pairing).

If there is a specific prompt that you would like to see in a pre-existing universe, be sure to include the name of the verse, typed out or abbreviated.

Here is an exemplar example of a prompt ask:

FLUFF 18 "I wish we could live together already," Virgil/Janus/Remus, NLOL

This translates roughly to: "I wish to request prompt eighteen - "I wish we could live together already" - from the FLUFF prompt list for the Virgil/Janus/Remus ship, specifically in the New Lease On Life 'verse."

Organization:

#prompts: Use this tag to find a prompt you would like to submit!

#not mine: Fan works that I did not write but enjoyed and would like to share.

#tzaph made a thing: All fan works I did write.

#rambles: I’m talking about either something that probably isn’t important but might have context clues for a project in it or problems I have encountered while working on a project.

#tw (trigger): Anything triggering will be tagged so if need be you can block the tag.

#angst: The sad pieces that stay sad (for that post at least).

#hurt/comfort: Pieces that are hurt/comfort.

#fluff: The happiest, most tooth-rotting thing ever (for that post).

#angst with a happy ending: It’s sad but it gets better (but it’s really sad before it gets happy).

#angst fluff: It’s a toss up as to which is more but they’re both there.

#mina made a thing: All fan works Mina wrote.

#belt boi speaks: Mina’s version of #rambles.

#sanders sides fanfiction: Sanders Sides fics.

#bnha fanfiction: BNHA fics.

For the sake of my sanity, works are tagged with a fandom as well as subcategories of the fandom tag.

Fandom Organization:

Oh boy this is gonna be fun.

Within the #sanders sides fanfiction tag, we have the following (this is going to be long, there are so many of them, I am so sorry):

All pairing tags (except for #creativitwins) are typed as they appear below and are prefaced by romantic, platonic, or familial but there are already so many it would be cruel to everyone for me to triple the list. Yes, I tag it twice.  I could not find ship names for a large number of the poly ships so if they look like random letters mushed together I swear they made sense at one point.

#emile picani: Any work that has Dr. Emile Picani in it.

#janus sanders: Any work that has Janus “Deceit” Sanders in it.

#logan sanders: Any work that has Logan “Logic” Sanders in it.

#patton sanders: Any work that has Patton “Morality” Sanders in it.

#remus sanders: Any work that has Remus “Creativity” Sanders in it.

#remy sanders: Any work that has Remy “Sleep” Sanders in it.

#roman sanders: Any work that has Roman “Creativity” Sanders in it.

#virgil sanders: Any work that has Virgil “Anxiety” Sanders in it.

Ship time I guess.

#drlamp: All the boys, platonic Creativitwins.  (Janus/Logan/Virgil/Patton/Roman & Janus/Remus/Logan/Virgil/Patton)

Disclaimer on the ship list: Once I get more comfortable with Remy and Emile, they will likely be incorporated into this list, greatly increasing the length.

Of course there is our newer #bnha fanfiction tag, which thankfully has a shorter list.

Tagging:

If anyone is interested in being tagged, I will keep a list/spreadsheet of everyone who wants to be tagged and for what content they want to see.  All you need to do is message me and I’ll put you on the sheet.  :)

Warnings:

I will use the Ao3 warnings in addition to things I know can be triggering.  If I miss anything on any piece I ever publish, tell me!  I will be so thankful and will fix it ASAP.  Anything triggering will be tagged with #tw (trigger).

Ratings:

Here’s my rating scale:

General: I might say crap or maybe even damn, piss, or ass.  There won’t be much if any violence or highly triggering content.

Teen and Up: I may go so far as to say f*ck once or twice, but the language is mostly PG-13.  Might have higher amounts of violence and/or trigger content.

Mature: Bets are off.  No smut.  However, language, violence, appropriately tagged triggering content, and that sort of stuff is likely to be there.  I will always tag everything I can think of that could be triggering, and as always, tell me if I miss something.

What You Won’t See Here:

You will never, ever, EVER, see anything anti-LGBTQ+, ableist, racist, anti-Semitic, misogynistic, etc from the author or in the comments.  If I see it in the comments, the user who said it will be blocked, this is the warning.  I hate blocking people, but this is a tolerant space, and I’m not tolerant of intolerance, bigots, supremacists, or people who are purposefully mean to people just trying to live.

It is possible, however, that some of those aforementioned things will be in a story, and it will be appropriately tagged (I’d say scout’s honor but I was never a boy scout).

No arguments in the comments or with me. No one wants to read an argument. If you really want to argue, you can DM me.

I don’t write smut.  I just.  I can’t.  It’s too weird to me to write, I try not to write about things I don’t know about and as a very single, very asexual person it’s not something I’m familiar with.  

I don’t deliberately write unsympathetic sides.  Sometimes someone might be an asshole (not too often these guys are kinda baby animals in people bodies), but I don’t do unsympathetic.  Here’s why.

These guys all have Thomas’ best interests at heart.  But sometimes, they get confused or they just don’t know how to help.  It’s sort of like doing bad things for a good reason, but you didn’t mean to do anything bad.  You did it on accident.  Mistakes happen.  They’re trying their best.  And because they are trying their best, I write them as sympathetic.

Off the topic of this serious stuff, you probably won’t see another super dense, super long post from me again unless it’s a story.

I’m so sorry this was so long, it got away from me.  But I got everything I could think of out, so the purpose was accomplished.

[tzaphki]

Oh also it's just me on this blog now, I'll get around to updating my bio soon fjsnf

[tzaphki]

So uh

I'm not sure how many of you are still here or want to continue reading A New Lease on Life, but I think I might finally be ready to dive back into writing

I'm almost entirely done with school, I just have a final left and then I'm free for a while. I'll have time to get back to work (assuming I can remember my password lmao) and I really need a hobby because I tried to pick up a couple and it did not go well lol

But uh

Yeah

Chances are I'll try to finish chapter three and see where that goes either way

[tzaphki]

Hiya folks! I've finally found time to finish up some chapters and I hope to post chapter three of A New Lease On Life in the next week or so!

[tzaphki]

Slight spoilers for NLOL

Keep reading

[tzaphki]

Still haven't finished it yet 🙃 but I lied it's not happy I'm sorry

[tzaphki]

Me: Noooo don't be mean to the babies

Also me: Have this supposedly dead character leave someone a note that says "I love you more than life itself" thus alluding to the fact that he stayed after death so he could be with his love interest for all eternity, no waiting around for them to die and be reunited

Me: Well damn okay

[tzaphki]

Sometimes notes pop up and I'll see them and be like ??? for a second before I remember tags are a thing and people see my content in the tags and like it.

Also I'm not dead I just have a lot of school work because I got sick right around when I was planning on coming back so I'm way behind on everything.

I'm trying my best to get myself together but if I'm being honest with you all I probably won't be back until we have a break from school. I'm really sorry I haven't come back yet, but I swear I've not abandoned the stories or this blog.

[tzaphki]

Hiya guys! I know it's been a while, but I'm working really hard to try and come back from hiatus! And I have a new story that I hope to be publishing, though it is for my newest fandom. If you're interested in hearing some heartwrenching angst for it, feel free to message me directly @emo-on-elm-street!

Featuring Dabihawks, vigilante Izuku Midoriya, and more!

[tzaphki]

Me, thinking about Shirakumo: Ah, yes, an angst m i n e

Me, designing a new OC for this fic: and a dash of self-hatred, so it's only mild- oops put too much in

[tzaphki]

100% a college AU Bakugou would dress like Tzaph does but fashionable

[tzaphki]

You didn't need to add the "but fashionable" part :(

[tzaphki]

100% a college AU Bakugou would dress like Tzaph does but fashionable

[tzaphki]

Starting plotting on a new work!

[tzaphki]

Hello followers! A new writer has joined this blog! Welcome Mina, she/her pronouns.

[tzaphki]

Saw a post that was very much looking down on infantilizing Virgil, including by using abuse and the like and I'm sitting here like "Well they won't like the first half of my fic" even though I am not treating him like a child.

This of course, is because my storyline called for Virgil to be in a bad situation, and bad situations like the one he is in often result in timid people. But the second half, after Andy is gone, sees Virgil becoming himself again. He becomes the snarky sass master we know and love. He just needed to be safe.

I'm sorry if my writing of this situation upsets people because of characterization, but as someone who knows first hand what these sorts of relationships do to a person, I trust in my ability to deliver a realistic story.

[tzaphki]

Hey guys. I know I'm on hiatus, but I'd still like to put out some content. Feel free to send in asks, I'll answer them as soon as I see them. They can be about anything you want, I don't mind as long as they're appropriate.

Hope to see you all in my inbox!

[tzaphki]

Heh sometimes I meet people who know of me but don't know me and I'm shook because I'll befriend them and drop the bombshell and it's like "I'm sorry for not being upfront I didn't think you knew me :/"

[tzaphki]

Terribly sorry for not posting recently. It's been a bad couple of days, but I'm working on getting out of it.
