Hiiii

12 and 28 from the fanfic author ask game?

:D

12. Do you have a playlist for your current WIP(s)? Share it!

I do! It’s just called “Red is a pretty color, but Theseus your golden” (I’m very creative with title as you can tell)

It is on my iPod (No I’m not ancient)

I’ve recreated it on Spotify for convenience :)

I’ll talk a bit about the songs here 

The ones that have gold in the title, fairly obvious why I chose them.

RISE is a very revolution anthem to me, Lion also falls into that category for me, along with Glory, Fire, and Champion

Play with fire is just a vibe in general.

Bounty hunter is a Niki song full stop.

Reaper, is a pure call back to canon

Bury me face down, Tommy just won’t die despite a few Gold’s best efforts

RUSH…it’s a little explicit in its lyrics (obv none of those lyrics relate to the fic) but it was a high energy song I wrote the final battle chapters to on repeat.

Also fun fact, one of the lyrics in another some of his I took as the title for another fic :) just thought that was interesting.

IF THERE IS A GOD ITS ME, kinda both a Tommy and Dream song in my opinion, both kinda have an ego, again with the theme of death and power over others.

RAGE just felt like a Technoblade kinda song to me I’m not entirely sure why, but it just fits to me.

I’m realizing some of these lyrics are…suggestive, just want to reiterate not be of those lyrics relate to the fic :/ guess my asexual self just has a music type lol

28. Have you ever tagged a fic “Dead Dove: Do Not Eat”?

I have not! TYG doesn’t really qualify for it even during the final battle, and I doubt my other fics will (Maybe the terminator one but idk)

Are you frustrated you can't leave second kudos on AO3? or third kudos? or whatever-who's-counting kudos?

Well, have I got the html for you!

Plop any of these in a comment (by copy&pasting the code) to make an author's day and show your appreciation!

Second kudos: <img src="https://i.ibb.co/tHMjbb6/second-kudos.png" alt="second kudos">

Third kudos: <img src="https://i.ibb.co/52bggQH/third-kudos.png" alt="third kudos">

nth kudos: <img src="https://i.ibb.co/6y7qGtC/nth-kudos.png" alt="nth kudos">

yet another kudos: <img src="https://i.ibb.co/wKtcj0s/yet-another-kudos.png" alt="yet another kudos">

It will look something like this (and will be transparent with white outline on dark backgrounds):

Feel free to spread and use these as much as you like! (and if you have ideas for other variations, let me know ✌️)

Cassius to Darrow ngl, the amount of romantic undertones PB added was insane, especially in the audiobook

I relized I mixed my numbers up lol- still nice to get the extra answer though!

29 for the ask game?

this excerpt is from a vampire AU I wrote in about 2022, I never got around to publishing it cause I got an idea for a better vampire fic I do plan on releasing and this one has been sitting in my notes app for a long time, I will probably maybe post this to the scrapbin, not sure yet though. (Probably good I never got around to it, cause it would have needed a rewrite anyway now)

Tommy needed something sweet like a donut or a pastry, so he decided to go to the best place on earth, Nikki’s bakery, but he wanted to see his new friend so he went to the alley to see Tubbo 

“Hi Tommy,” Tubbo says

“Hi, Tubbo want to go to the bakery with me?” Tommy asks

“Um, yeah!” Tubbo says already vibrating with excitement 

“Pog!”

As they walk through the door the aroma of baked goods “Hey Tubbo, who’s your friend?” 

“Hi Nikki, that's Tommy” 

“Well hi Tommy, what do you boys want?”

“A hot chocolate!” they both say 

“Ok, take a seat,” she says with a smile, a couple of minutes later Niki comes out with 2 hot chocolates “Here you go” 

“Thank you,” Tommy says as he takes a sip, Tommy's brow furrows “This tastes odd,” 

Tubbo looks at Niki, eyes wide, and minutely shakes his head no 

“Oh sorry, Tommy that must have been dark and not milk chocolate in there, I'll get you another,” she says as she takes the mug from Tommy 

“So, why did you want me to come here?” Tubbo asks 

“Well, I wanted company,” Tommy replies 

“Has anyone ever told you that you're clingy?” 

Tommy gasps in mock offense “How dare you call me clingy” 

Tubbo laughs “So, um I want to ask you somethi–“ 

At that moment three of the people Tubbo never wanted to see in his lifetime walked through the door: Philza Minecraft, Technoblade, and Wilbur soot, some of the most famous vampire hunters ever, cruel people known for killing any vampire and anyone associated with vampires, humans included so Tubbo was immediately worried for Tommy and obviously himself

Tommy breaks his train of thought

“So what did you want to tell me Tubzo?” 

“That-um, you are an amazing friend” 

Tommy smiled “Thanks, that’s really kind of you”

 He hoped Tommy wouldn’t do something stupid, for both their sakes 

In the spirit of encouraging people to comment on fanfics while also making it easier to do so, I feel obliged to share a browser extension for ao3 that has quite literally revolutionized the comment game for me.

I present to you: the floating ao3 comment box!

From what I've seen, a big problem for many people is that once you reach the comments at the bottom of a fic, your memory of it miraculously disappears. Anything you wanted to say is stuck ten paragraphs ago, and you barely remember what you thought while reading. This fixes that!

I'll give a little explanation on the features and how it works, but if you want to skip all that, here's the link.

The extension is visible as a small blue box in the upper left corner.

(Side note: The green colouring is not from the extension, that's me.)

If you click on it, you open a comment box window at the bottom of your screen but not at the bottom of the fic. I opened my own fic for demonstrative purposes.

The website also gives explanations on how exactly it functions, but I'll summarize regardless.

insert selection -> if you highlight a sentence in the fic it will be added in italics to the comment box

add to comment box -> once you're done writing your comment, you click this button and the entire thing will automatically copied to the ao3 comment box

delete -> self explanatory

on mulitchapter fics, you will be given the option to either add the comment to just the current chapter or the entire fic

The best part? You can simply close the window the same way you opened it and your progress will automatically be saved. So you can open it, comment on a paragraph, and then close it and keep reading without having the box in your face.

Comments are what keep writers going, and as both a writer and a reader, I think it's such an easy way of showing support and enthusiasm.

Potato. That is all
