5, 6 And 11 For The Positivity Ask Game

5, 6 and 11 for the positivity ask game 😘

5. What is a song you associate with a specific character?

Oooh, that's interesting. I listen to songs on repeat while I write, so oftentimes the song is more tied to my personal interpretation of the character than to the canon one. So I guess I'd say Maybe by Lewis Capaldi for Bobby. It's about fear and self-destruction and perfectly captures Bobby in TSIME.

A thousand times, I said too much Always second-guess before I jump I gave my all, but not enough And with the weight of expectation, I'll be sleeping rough

How come I'm the only one who ever seems to get in my way? Lately, I've been fucking up a good thing any chance I can get

6. What is your favourite part about being in this fandom?

The people. They are smart, funny, talented, quirky, fascinating and altogether lovely humans.

11. What's something that lives in your brain rent-free and you want everyone to know about the fandom/game/your fanworks?

I don't really know how to answer this one. I've pondered for far too many days. So I'm gonna say the first thing that rolls into my pea-brain.

WE HAZ GUD SMUTZ.

I'm pretty much the next Shakespeare.

Sorry for posting so late to the game (literally). These answers take me forever. I put way too much thought into almost everything, and tag games are no different!

Thank you @operationnope for the ask. You light up my life in a very literal sense 😆

Shoutout to the dedicated cheerleaders of wips who comment on each chapter and motivate the poor fic writer to keep going you are crucial to the ecosystem

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!

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.
