Au Writing - Tumblr Posts

I'm doing a panel on how to write fanfiction 😆

So my town is having a comic con and entertainment expo, like a small version of Chicago's C2E2.

I signed up to do a panel titled "Beyond Canon: Mastering the Art of Fanfiction Writing." My reason behind doing this panel is to get people excited about writing, as I lead our local writing group.

In the panel, I want to touch on the following:

Introduction to Fanfiction: Define what fanfiction is and its significance in popular culture. Discuss its history and evolution.

Understanding Canon: Emphasize the importance of knowing the source material (canon) thoroughly before writing fanfiction. Discuss ways to research and interpret canon material.

Types of Fanfiction: Explore different genres and styles of fanfiction, such as alternate universe (AU), crossover, fluff, angst, and smut. Discuss the unique challenges and opportunities each genre presents.

Respecting Canon vs. Taking Creative Liberties: Discuss the balance between staying true to canon and taking creative liberties in fanfiction. Explore the ethics of altering or expanding upon established elements of the source material.

Feedback and Community Engagement: Discuss the role of feedback and community engagement in the fanfiction writing process. Explore platforms and communities where writers can share their work, receive feedback, and connect with fellow fans.

Legal and Ethical Considerations: Touch upon legal and ethical considerations surrounding fanfiction, such as copyright issues and respecting the rights of original creators.

The Impact of Fanfiction: Reflect on the broader cultural impact of fanfiction, including its role in fostering community, creativity, and literary analysis.

Q&A Session: Open the floor to questions from the audience, allowing attendees to seek clarification, share their own experiences, and engage in discussion.

Throughout the panel, I want to highlight some incredible fanfictions that have transcended their origins and made their mark in mainstream media as books, TV shows, or movies.

If you know of any fanfictions that have been turned into books, TV Shows, or movies please leave them below! If you have any thoughts or insights on what I should cover in specific areas, I'd appreciate your thoughts below! 😊

Infodump abt Leshy in my "Rotting of the lamb" au under the cut lololol vvv

Ok so. I’ve been rly rounding out Leshy’s character and how he fits in the whole dysfunctional family, n his whole headspace.

He’s the first one that becomes mortal and is taken to the cult. He’s also the most volatile out of all of them. A lot of the wounds Lacey sustains during her whole ‘therapizing’ of the family is from her first attempt with Leshy. For him, mortality is worse than death, and he’s fully convinced that Lacey made him mortal on purpose and is brainwashing everyone w/ her whole ‘we can all get better’ shit. Esp Nari. When Nari tries to have an earnest conversation with everyone, he’s the one constantly arguing and lashing out. And when Heket begins to pause and think about what’s being said, he hates it. Bc Nari is stupid enough to be brainwashed, ofc. But his sister Heket? Heket is strong. She knows better than anyone. So if she starts to accept mortality, they’ll never be gods like they used to. If she accepts it, he’ll have to too.

Leshy is extremely attached to their godhood. His, but also the rest of theirs too. He’s watched mortals die to simple diseases, a single blade, a little mistake. Or the breaking of their own hearts. He knows that mortality entails suffering and ‘suffering alone.’ When you’re a god, you can shape the world to cradle your heart the best. The seasons, land, trees, and people all shift to your best interest. It’s all under your control, and you can keep yourself and others safe. In his mind, even heartbreak is nothing to the constant eternity of godhood. The world under their rule was miserable for everyone BUT them. And this new one, where nothing is under his control? Where he can’t just kill the problem? He can’t stand it. So he lashes out.

But there’s another layer to it. When Nari was banished and they ruled over things, their lives were simple. He could just ignore painful things, as was encouraged by the family. When Kallamar questioned them and tried to help Nari, he was punished, and Leshy could keep his feelings uncomplicated. It was like a social facilitation for apathy–which Leshy much prefers over complicated, unsolvable feelings. Being mortal breaks that facilitation. Now Leshy has to face those suppressed feelings about banishing Nari and what they did to all the mortals. The heartbreak. The guilt. The fear and hurt and shame. He has to face the fact that they were wrong. Shamura was wrong. Heket was wrong. He was wrong. Mortality is a complete lack of safety for him–physically and psychologically. There is no longer a divine ‘right or wrong’ categorization that his siblings can pass down to him.

When he clings to his false crown and his godhood, he is clinging to ignorance. Because it was safe. It was simple. And if he starts to let go, he’ll have to face the fact that their family was broken. They destroyed the people they loved most, and couldn’t escape that pain even through godhood. Because godhood isn’t safety. It feels like it is, like all power does. But it isn’t.

It just makes wounds last forever.

babes!!!!! need help deciding somethin abt my Rotting of the Lamb au. @puppydogwithlargeeyes specifically. (no pressure ofc) but also everyone else!!!!!

explanation under the cut bc this is abt to be a longggg post

(cw: mention of abusive character)

ok so. my original idea for The Rotting of the Lamb was that Lacey would sacrifice her time n safety n comfort to help all the bishops make up and live happy mortal lives. she'd sort of expose them to the good abt mortality and help them thru their emotions w unconditional positive regard. she also helps Camilo almost be at peace.

then one day there's a new realm where the doors to darkwood and such should be. n it's Rin, in the purgatory Camilo put her in. So they do the whole defeat-and-spare thing but Nari is adamant that they need to kill her and she's going to destroy them n Camilo is just so overwhelmed that they dip. Lacey puts Rin in jail to put off the decision until Camilo comes back.

Eventually they do, and they want Lacey's happy dream world to be realized, so they let her try to help Rin. But Rin isn't like the others. Lacey doesn't know how to begin to make her better. n later on she realizes that Rin's been hurting Camilo again and Lacey is actively enabling it by letting her be there. She has a huge fight with Rin where she does an act of divine wrath--sending Rin to a purgatory where she lives out Camilo's old life as her vessel, dying again and again and again. That's what makes her ascend. ofc there's more but that's a summary of the relevant parts.

Here's the problems with that. It feels off to have a second party be the one to 'resolve' the abusive situation between Camilo and Rin. It makes that situation into a plot device. But w Lacey's character, Rin's continued abuse toward her mirror--who she understands more than anyone n the only one who rly understands her--is the only thing that would make her have that act of wrath. Like Rin is a ticking time bomb for Lacey. Everything Lacey hates. And Camilo isn't going to resolve things w Rin themselves--they're going to keep destroying themselves until something gets in the way. Back when they killed her the first time, they hadn't seen what their life could be like. Now seeing Nari and Lacey (and the rehabilitation of the bishops) makes them hold onto hope that Rin will change.

Another problem is that her retaliation isn't rly "rotting of purity," and feels off for the name of the au. It's just retaliation against an abusive party. She does go crazy w it (finally saying she doesn't want Rin there, something she's felt but never said nor acted on, and making her 'disappear') but it still feels off bc she's just putting her feelings ahead of everyone else's for once. That could add to the unfairness of the situation (like godhood doesn't care abt cruelty vs retaliation, u ascend anyway) but idk.

BUT!!!!!!!!!

i thought of a second option. Lacey actually does sacrifice something for Camilo's happy ending. Her powers, or something like that. Maybe she sacrifices her mortalhood. But she gives something huge that she actually doesn't want to give to bring Camilo a "good end" version of Rin(?) Something like that--a good ending for Camilo. Maybe thru the mystic seller. And over time, she gets more and more resentful, but she shoves it down. Eventually she kills Rin for taking her happy ending, and that causes her ascension (if she's not ascending already.) it's still an act of divine wrath and a rotting of purity. N if she's already ascending, it's an act that officially 'rots' her. Slippery slope type deal.

The only issue is that Camilo would still have memories of Rin's abuse n it feels kinda off to resolve that thru adding in "non-abusive version of abuser." N it feels a little like Lacey just suddenly turning evil, instead of a twist of her normal psyche. BUT she would be rotting AND she would have actually sacrificed too much, instead her sacrifice being more of a metaphor.

idk. if anyone's gotten this far, lemme know what u think.

Soooo

First whole fic is completed

SOOOOOO here's a sneak peek before I post it in a few days!

In the weeks that followed the US lockdown, Smitty and Matt began to worry.

A lot.

As anyone would when almost all of their friends were stuck in a place filled with a deadly virus. A virus that reanimates people into mindless monsters—zombies, rather—with no known cure: only a hindrance.

Within the first weeks of the outbreak, vaccines were issued out to the US’ adjacent counties. All the while, the military in all three areas prepared for search and rescue teams to go and bring people out of the lockdown zone.

All Smitty and Matt would have to do was get their vaccines and wait for their friends to come to them.

Easy plan, right?

But a virus doesn’t just stay in one stage for all its life. It evolves. It changes and with no cure or remedy in the country, it grows stronger. And that's just what it did. Infecting people faster. Making it impossible to get to many places.

So after a few weeks, the government announced that there would be a set number of evacuations. Only four.

Once every month, soldiers would go in squads trying to secure some parts of the states. They would give themselves six days total to get everybody they could and return to their designated countries.

Four chances for everybody who could get out to get out.

During this graceless period between every trip, full of paranoia and sleepless waiting, Smitty and Matt spent more and more time together. Smitty had come to expect it now—his friend’s sporadic intrusions to his house. Stress takes a toll on anyone and, though Matt didn’t always show it, he needed a friend to ground him as much as Smitty did.

But this specific visit, Smitty was counting on. He hoped for it.

He sat on his couch, refreshing the Twitch page over and over on his television.

In a normal, non-infected world, one or two refreshes would soon bring up a stream of one of his friends, usually Puffer. And just tuning in to watch a few minutes of it would quell the noise in Smitty’s head.

But there surely wasn’t any internet in the US. Puffer wasn’t streaming today, he probably wasn’t even near a computer. Nor was John, Grizzy, Pezzy, Droid, and the rest of the boys.

He couldn’t contact any of them.

And not being able to contact John in particular worried him the most.

The last person he had called was John. Or rather, the last person that called him. John was panicked, his house surrounded, and decided to call Smitty in what may have been his final moments.

He doesn’t know what happened to John after that, only remembering the sound of glass breaking and something, possibly someone, tumbling to the floor.

Smitty had faith in his other friends—Pezzy, Puffer, Droid and Grizzy. They at least all lived together, so they could protect one another.

But John lived alone.

So Smitty, as much as he wanted to believe in John, had his doubts.

And on the Reunion days—the days after every refugee had been cured and looked over, and the people were free to come and see them—all his anxiety would boil over. His mind would flood with what-ifs and why-nots in the event that he found nobody.

What if none of them made it? What if John didn’t make it?

What if they couldn't evacuate more people?

To the point where after just one of those visits, he had a breakdown on the car ride home, and Matt decided it was best if he didn’t come with anymore.

So Matt went alone, and Smitty would stay at home waiting for him.

Like he was doing now. Festering in his own worry, til his buddy finally came through the door.

-------

And that's all you get for now! I'll make another post when the first chapter is actually posted, but I hope this was an okay start!

Since I've addressed I have a Frouse Apocalypse AU, I thought I'd also share their roles:

SMii7Y - sharpshooter

BLARG - explosives expert

KRYOZ - cook

PUFFER - medic

PEZZY - technician

DROID - scout

GRIZZY - muscle

These will overlap off cause, personally, I find it so dumb if everybody in a group only has ONE role, and nobody shares roles. Like what are you gonna do if someone dies or gets hurt??

Anyway lmk if these roles make sense

Working on the next fic

Finished the first scene online, but I decided to switch it up and write the first draft of the rest on paper

It's about 7 pages so we'll see how it goes when I try to edit it/type it up in the document

OH YEAH!

(Disregard the typo, its fixed on ao3 i promise)

CHAPTER ONE IS POSTED BABYYY

Find it from looking up my user (xann_is_gone) or just go to the 'SMii7Y (Video Blogging RPF)' tag and it'll be one of the top ones.

This should be done soon tho, and the last chapter for fic 1 will be out before the end of the week (I keep forgetting to post it)

More art coming soon BTW 👀

So uh about that art

I didn't really draw much else T-T

Well okay I DID, for the au

But the pictures look bad and I wanna redo them

Sooooo not sure if this is everyone's thing but here's a bit of "context" for my favorite drawings in the au!

(Using quote marks cuz I'm not trying to give much away, also below the cut cuz hush I feel like it)

This is meant to be Pezzy riding his bike into town following a dog. But where is it taking him? Why does he trust this dog?? Wooo you'll never know (til I write it but hush)

Puffer and Grizzy cornering Smitty for some reason, as the man in questions looks on in horror. What happened? What are they gonna do to him? 👀👀

And lastly, my all time favorite drawing I made of Puffer:

He's patching up somebody for some reason. What are those reasons?? Shhh 👀👀👀

Also like sorry if the au is becoming annoying to see me talk about but ye I'm fixated on it

3/3 for the first fic
