The Sweetest Sting

2, 4, 9 and 19 for the positivity ask game

2. What character did you start liking because of someone else?

Yas or Rafi from S3. I found Yas dull and Rafi dumb, but @throughthejunobush spent a lot of time convincing me to give them a chance and while I didn't finish either of their routes, I did really end up loving both characters. Yas is so chill and Rafi is the sweetest little dummy. It helps that she wrote them as wonderful people in Shiny Demon.

4. What inspires you to create in the fandom?

I love feedback, it fuels me. But I actually think it's mostly collaborating with other writers. Talking about ideas. Fleshing them out. Reading each others' work. I've said it before, but the only reason I'm still in the fandom is because of @throughthejunobush. For me, the act of creating is better when you have a partner in crime to bounce off of. It keeps things exciting and fun.

9. What WIP from another creator are you most excited about?

AMELIA CAN'T WIN by @longbobmckenzie. I NEED MORE OF IT. ALL OF IT. RIGHT NOW.

19. Your favourite fanwork of an underrated character?

Fight for It by @queen-of-boops WEREWOLF ARJUN. I just love Arjun. And werewolves. And werewolf Arjun. Also, another great one is Mind Games by @becangle. It's a Felix story that broke my heart and definitely inspired my version of him in This Momentary Blue.

Thank you @thatwheelchairchick for the asks!

2, 3, and 12 for the ask game please!

2. What character did you start liking because of someone else? I answered this one here!

3. What do you love about fanworks in the fandom?

The wealth and breadth of talent. It's amazing how so many people can read the same character's actions and get completely different stories out of them. Fluff and angst and death and life and crazy geese leading you to your soul mate. Also I love the collaboration that goes into stories. The questions in the Discord that turn into meme-level conversations that somehow turn into fantastic fics. It's amazing.

12. What's your favourite fanwork of yours?

Of my own? It shifts around a lot. For sheer prettiness I love This Momentary Blue. But if I'm being 100% honest, it's The Bad Guy. I gave Lucas an unusual history that required some research (my favorite), but also, just everything about that story makes me laugh. It's vile, it's amoral, the sex is filthy, and the characters are irredeemable assholes. I have a great love of writing horrid people but because I generally write love stories, I don't get a chance to write complete wastelands of humanity. So that one is fun.

Thanks @queen-of-boops for the ask!

😂😂😂

It's because most of us are feral.

It's always

"When will fanfic writers update their stories?"

And never

"Does this fanfic writer have adequate enrichment to engage in writing behaviours?"

Fanfiction writers (Scriptor fictus) are intelligent animals who need plenty of enrichment as well as encouragement! If they're stuck in poor conditions (e.g. have studies, work, have to actually write to have something written) then they require the proper enrichment to engage in more healthy behaviours, like writing. Remember, due to poor breeding and socialisation, over half of all fanfic writers suffer from low self confidence and executive dysfunction so take care of them!

Give your fanfic writers proper care. Fanfiction writers are a life long commitment.

I'm sure it means absolutely nothing, but I'm still choosing to take it as a TSIME shout out 😆
