[practically-an-x-man]

ok y'know what. I'm tired of all the same questions in ask games so I'm taking matters into my own hands

OC/Writing Art Asks

For the character:

Pencil: does this character have any "sketchy" habits? Have they ever broken the law? Do they regret it?

Pen: what's one minor moment your character regrets? A small mistake, but something they "can't erase"?

Paintbrush: How often does your character "brush over" conflict instead of facing it head on? Is there something specific they don't like to face, or do they avoid conflict as a whole?

Marker: what's one thing your character would never tattoo on their body, even if they were paid a million dollars for it?

Crayon: what was your OC like when they were four years old? Were they loud? Shy? Were they the resident "weird kid" or did they get along with others their age?

Colored Pencil: if given the choice, would this character splurge on an expensive (but potentially worthwhile) branded product, or buy a low-budget alternative even if the quality suffers?

Copics: what is this character's most expensive habit or hobby? Do they ever feel guilty about the money they spend on it?

Graphite: what's something decently common that your character does in a unique or different way? (like how graphite is present in all pencils, but not everyone uses pure graphite)

Charcoal: share any unique physical features about this character that are not scars or tattoos.

Tortillon: does your OC "blend in" with the people around them? Physically? Metaphorically?

Pastels: Give me three colors that best represent your OC. Now give me three colors that your OC likes best. Is there an overlap?

Chalk: what was one activity this character enjoyed with their sibling(s) as a kid? If they don't have siblings, what they did with their neighborhood friends

Eraser: what's one way this character has changed over time? Either over the course of their story, or over the course of designing them as an author.

Palette: list four of your character's primary skills, then share at least two ways these skills might blend or overlap

For the work:

Starry Night: are there any scenes in this work that take place at nighttime? Is this significant, or just the passing of time?

Mona Lisa: oh, it's the fanfic writer's favorite word. Do a find-and-replace on the word "smirk" and share any lines that pop up.

The Scream: are there any moments in this work that you think could scare a reader? Are there any moments where the characters themselves are profoundly scared?

Persistence of Memory: are there any moments in this work where a character's memory plays a strong role? Either an individual memory, or simply a character's ability to recall the past.

Girl With a Pearl Earring: are there any moments in this work where a character's clothing or accessories play a major role?

The Kiss: share your favorite kiss scene from this work. If there's no kiss scene, share your favorite moment of intimacy (romantic or platonic)

American Gothic: what's one relationship between characters in this work that you think people wouldn't expect? (i.e., how the people in American Gothic are not married, they're the painter's sister and dentist)

Guernica: look through a few of your imagery/descriptions in this work. Are they generally straightforward, or are they more "abstract"?

Wheatfield with Crows: are there any scenes in this work that involve birds? Do the birds play a definitive role, or are they simply part of the setting?

Woman with a Parasol: are there any moments in this fic that feel "blurry" to you? Is this a stylistic choice, or would you go back and clarify the descriptions if you were given the chance?

A Sunday Afternoon...: pick one "little moment" from this fic. How representative is it of the fic's tone and story as a whole?

Creation of Adam: choose one character that is not present at the beginning of this work. How did you introduce them into the story?

The Swing: are there any moments in this fic where the characters get to slow down and have fun? If not, why is that?

The Last Supper: does this fic incorporate any symbolism based on religion, theology, or mythology? If so, give an example.

For the author:

Paper: Who do you feel is your most two-dimensional or underdeveloped OC? Why is this? (including those that are still in development/haven't been written about yet)

Canvas: Do you ever "prep" your fics with outlines or warmups before you start writing, or do you just dive right in?

Graffiti: Have you ever had to research something that felt illicit or illegal for a fic? What was it?

Photography: What's one moment from any of your fics that you feel is preserved in your memory?

Clay: Do you usually take time to "sculpt" your OCs before you write them, or develop them as you write?

Film: Which one of your fics do you think would work best if turned into a movie? Who would direct it?

Adhesive: when you write, do you usually "stick" to one character or story for a while, or bounce around various characters and ideas?

Cricut: are there any characters you've had to "cut" from a story? Are there any moments/chapters/stories you've had to "cut" entirely?

Felting: how often do you include soft moments when you write? Do these moments play a role in the main plot, or do you include them as an escape from the rest of the story?

Weaving: are your works typically similar to one another? Pick two works, and share one similarity and one difference between them.

Finger Painting: share a small snippet from your earliest work (or the earliest that you can get back to). How would you rewrite it today? Either share the rewrite itself or just describe how you'd do it.

Creative!: free space! share something you've been dying to share about your writing! Could be an OC that never gets the limelight, a moment you were proud of, or anything else you'd like to share

Klapollo: Dissecting a song and talking about it's meaning

Franmaya: Snowball fight

Narumitsu: Edgeworth tries pie for the first time

BESTIE!!!!! HI BESTIE! So, all three of my fave ships, huh...? I can do that! Easy peasie!

Klapollo, 135 words

“Come now, Herr Forehead! You must admit, it’s the pinnacle of songwriting!” Apollo wasn’t sure how they had gotten into this discussion. One moment they were in bed together talking about music, and the next they were discussing song lyrics. Which then led to this ridiculous discussion. “Really, Klavier? “She’s indecisive, she can’t decide” is peak songwriting to you?” Apollo questioned with a brow raised. “Ja, of course! Is it not to you?” “Of course it isn’t! It’s repetitive! He already said she was indecisive, why would he explain what it means-” Apollo stopped as he saw the huge grin on Klavier’s face, shooting him a glare. “Wait, you’re just fucking with me!” “I have no idea what you’re talking about, Herr Forehead.” Klavier laughed as Apollo hit him on the head with a pillow.

Franmaya, 240 words

One of the downsides of living in Los Angeles was the fact that it didn’t snow very often. Franziska missed it sometimes, the way snow blanketed the whole world in its pure white sheet, how brisk and cool the winter air was on her skin, the comfort of wearing winter clothes. Her and Maya Fey had decided to visit Franziska’s family in Germany, and Franziska had to admit, it was nice. It was nice getting to see the snow again. She still remembered when she hated the snow, and thought it was foolish. They do say that absence makes the heart grow fonder. Franziska smiled at the sight of it, her aunt’s backyard covered in snow. That was, until she felt a snowball pelted at the back of her head. She turned around to the source of said snowball, smiling when she saw Maya grinning at her. “Gotcha, Franzy!” Franziska smiled, a plan forming in her head. “I really do love you, Maya Fey.” “I love you too Franzy- WOAH!” Maya yelped as a snowball hit her right in the face. Franziska snickered. “NOT FAIR, FRANZY! That’s cheating!” Maya said. “And so is hitting someone distracted with a snowball, Maya Fey.” Franziska replied. “Oh! You’re gonna get it!” The two laughed as they engaged in a fierce snowball fight. And as Franziska pelted a snowball at Maya’s face again, laughing when she pouted, Franziska knew that she was in love.

Narumitsu, 290 words

Phoenix could bake. That still surprised Miles to this day, even when Phoenix had baked cookies and brownies for him. Sure, Phoenix was a pretty good cook, but baking was different. Baking required an intense and meticulous precision, and that bluffer of a man was the opposite of precise. And yet, Phoenix could bake. There was no denying that. And he was a pretty darn good baker, too. Phoenix was just perfecting his recipe for strawberry pie, and he had asked Miles to taste test it for him. Miles was more than willing to, he was his boyfriend after all, and he always liked to see what Phoenix had in store for him. Besides, Miles had never tried strawberry pie, and he thought it’d be nice to finally try it. After hours of work, Phoenix was finally able to show Miles the pie that he had just baked. He carried it over to Miles, setting it down the table. Just by the way it looked it was already delicious, though looks really weren’t everything. “Here it is! And if it’s trash, please be honest with me. I wanna know what I’m doing wrong.” Phoenix said. “Of course, Wright.” Miles replied. Miles took a bite out of the pie, and his eyes widened as soon as he tasted it. It was incredible. The crust was perfectly soft and flakey, but not overpowering the sweet tart of the strawberry. Even if he’d never tried strawberry pie before, he knew this was the best pie in the world. Phoenix was staring at him, with wide eyes and flour on his clothes, face, and hair. “How is it…?” “It’s incredible.” Miles said with a smile. Phoenix grinned, Miles fell in love with that grin.

For the all game, 17, 24 and 31 please.

17. Do you write your story from start to finish, or do you write the scenes out of order?

I draft out of order but when it's time to actually write the chapter, I am genuinely surprised to find I mostly write the scenes in the order they appear in the fic.

24. Have you ever deleted one of your published fics?

I've never deleted work, but I have orphaned a fic I just knew I wasn't going to continue because I didn't like the premise anymore. Made sure to label it permanently unfinished first tho.

31. Do you take liberties with canon or are you very strict about your fic being canon compliant?

Not only is the author dead but canon has been roadkilled by the speeding bus of my memory problems and I am the carrion animal tearing the corpse apart for tasty bits of characterization and nicely fermented themes. It is a visceral, graceless process and a benediction of love at once.

Weekend WIP Game

tagged by @jesuisici33 <3

Rules: List your WIPs below (if you only write one fic at a time, feel free to include future WIPs/ideas!) then answer the following questions. Then, tag as many people as you have WIPs (or more)

1. WIP List:

sick eddie

buddie coffee shop

new buddie chris' school

roommates

bi eddie

buddie death cast fic

cheating fic

untitled natalia fic

buddie 2x01

5+1 nicknames

coffee buddie

2. Which of your WIPs is currently the longest?

alive shannon with 20k words so far

3. Which WIP do you expect will end up the longest?

alive shannon, since it's kinda a canon rewrite and I still haven't decided to which point it's gonna go, we'll see when it'll feel right to end it haha

4. Which WIP is your favourite to write/the most enjoyable to write? Why?

once again, alive shannon haha - it's just so fun to explore what all those dynamics could've been, and giving Eddie and Shannon some closure, and I love exploring Shannon's character, too, speculating on her thoughts and motivations, and diving into everyone's heads, and I'm so excited to see it all develop!!

5. Which WIP do you find the most intimidating to write? Why?

I think it's either alive shannon or the cheating fic alive shannon bc I've never written s2/s3 buddie and I wanna get their characters semi-right, and I don't remember a lot of details so I need to get on with my rewatch lol - and also writing Shannon's and Eddie's feelings on their relationship and how it all ended is not easy haha and the cheating fic bc it's so not my thing but a song inspired it and it got stuck in my head and it's happening haha and I hope I'll make it make sense haha

6. Which WIP do you experience the most self-doubt about. Why?

tbh all of them - some more, some less, but there are moments, especially lately, when veeeery often I'm just like: everything I write sucks wtf

7. Which of your WIPs will you seek out a beta/sensitivity reader for? Why?

@giddyupbuck agreed to beta the alive shannon fic, and I spam them with snippets if I'm in doubt and it's sooo helpful fr ily <3 and I'll need alive shannon beta-read bc it's gonna be so long, and I keep changing my mind about things bc of how many ideas I have, so I just need someone else to look at it and tell me if everything makes sense haha - and Ro's helped me so much with some previous fics so they have my full trust with my baby that is the alive shannon fic haha

8. Have any of your WIPs been struck by the curse of writer's block?

all of them at some point lol - a few of these are actually on hold bc of that - I will get back to them tho!

9. Which WIP has your favourite OC? Tell us about them?

as of now there's no ocs in any of these, but we'll see haha

10. Which WIP is the sexiest?

cheating fic and maaaaybe coffee buddie (if I'll ever get back to this one) - no actual smut in my wips yet atm

11. Which WIP is the angstiest?

buddie death cast fic - if you've read 'they both die at the end' you know why lol this is not gonna have a happy ending

12. Which WIP has the best characterisation (in your humble opinion)?

so far I'm loving everyone in alive shannon so I guess let's go with that haha

13. Which WIP has the best scene setting (in your humble opinion)?

oh I am so bad this - but maybe let's say buddie coffee shop au bc i think it's the only one where I put even a little bit of focus on the setting lmao

14. Which WIP have you worked the hardest on?

alive shannon, been thinking about it and making notes for months before I started writing, and I don't think i've ever been this invested in a fic

15. Which WIP do you have the highest expectations for? Why?

alive shannon - - like I said, it's my most precious baby, and I'm so excited to not only write it but read it, and I hope it's gonna be as good as it is in my head, and I hope I'll make the story make sense with Shannon there, but also keeping some important buddie moments from canon hah

16. Do you dream about any of your WIPs?

not sure if i've ever dreamt about a wip, but i do get new ideas in my sleep sometimes lol

17. Do any of your WIPs have particular complexities that your other fics don't?

alive shannon will have switching povs which i rarely do, so it's gonna be a challenge to write three distinct voices - and diving into Shannon's head and feelings and motivations will also definitely be hard

18. Which WIP is the funniest or has the most humour?

I think sick eddie - he's so ridiculously stubborn and difficult istg haha or buddie coffee shop with how fucking awkward buck's being

19. Do any of your WIPs contain outside POVs or a deep dive on a character other than the main ship? How are you finding that process?

yep, once again, alive shannon - it's as much a buddie fic as it is a shannon fic, so it's not exactly outside pov, bc I'm just excited to focus on her equally as much, on how she's settling into their lives, becoming a better mom, being involved in Chris' life - she's gonna have as much focus as buddie sns it's not easy, bc it's alternating povs and once I get stuck in Eddie's head it's hard to leave, but so far it's been fun

20. Tell us one thing we don't know about one or more of your WIPs

uhhh, I think I share like everything lol okay, so maybe: alive shannon will definitely go at least up until s4 and will include Eddie dating Ana 👀 purely bc I want a buddie-shipping Shannon to be like wtf eddie??? also, there will be more than one mcd in the death cast fic and coffee buddie was loosely inspired by a small thing from luke cage lol

📝 :3

Send me 📝 in an ask to get a random WIP snippet.

I couldn’t decide whether to give you the lead-up to a kink negotiation or Alastor being Alastor regarding concepts like remorse and feelings.

So here, have both! :3

Content warning for mentions of UH3-typical unrealistic kink, but it’s nothing explicit.

Lucifer was on him in an instant, gripping Alastor’s jaw between his fingers and forcefully tilting his face, angling it downwards so that Alastor’s eyes met his.

The Devil’s voice was like Hell frozen over in its icy calm. “I’ve got half a mind to tear that disobedient tongue right from your mouth,” he said.

“Lucifer,” Alastor purred, his voice slowly filling with static. “Is that a threat or a promise?”

“That depends,” Lucifer replied, releasing his hold on Alastor’s face. The warmth had returned to his words, and his gaze was firm but gentle. “Is it a fantasy or something you actually want?”

Meanwhile, in another UH3 WIP:

Alastor laughed, mirthlessly. “Remorse is for children and weak willed men. I outgrew it by the age of ten!”

“You’re not fooling anybody,” Lucifer teased. “Even if it wasn’t guilt, you felt something. And you were happy to know that you didn’t come between Lilith and I. You’ve got a heart in there after all.”

“Hahaha, on the contrary, my dear friend! While I may indeed have a heart, you’ll find it’s filled to the brim with bloodlust and spite! There’s no room for any of that emotional nonsense you’re blathering on about. I need every bit of it working towards my passion for performance! My romance with radio! And of course, my one true love, murder.”

I’m planning on breaking the last paragraph up a bit with some actions in between, but I really wanted to show off that dialogue.

This looks like so much fun! (And a good distraction from my 6 page essay due tomorrow)

40. Write an alternate ending or summary to [insert fic name here], which I will choose, "Split", because this is too legendary.

Ooh this was so much fun!

The snippet is under the cut, but be warned this is the angsty ending!

Billy stared up at the stone face of Captain Marvel. The features were technically correct, but they didn’t capture his spirit, his vibrancy, his life. It was just a pale imitation of the man he had known, the man he had been. But the statue wasn’t made for him. It was made for all the people that were mourning him, people who knew less than half of who he had been. And now they never would never know more.

The ceremony had been beautiful, full of moving stories about Captain Marvel’s short tenure as a hero. Superman had given the eulogy all about how everyone should follow the Captain’s example, about how they should all strive to ‘do good so good will follow’, though the mayor of Fawcett City also gave a long winded speech about the change he had brought to their small corner of the world.

Fallen heroes were always celebrated much more than living ones, but what about him? The human half of a dead demigod, the still living half of their hero, would not even be a footnote in his history. The few people that knew he existed didn’t even know the truth.

“Billy?” came the unbearably gentle voice of Diana from behind him. “Are you ready to go?”

He wrapped his arms around himself, but it did nothing to stop the ache in his heart, the ache that had been present since the day he lost him. He still couldn’t tear his eyes away from Marvel’s stone likeness. “Go where?”

He had no home. He had no family. He didn’t even have the voices of ancient beings living in his head to keep him company.

“We’re still figuring out the…technicalities of everything, but I was hoping you would come stay with me for a while,” she said softly, her eyes shining with unshed tears. “Your father asked that we take care of you if the worst should happen, and I intend to keep that promise if you’ll let me.”

Father.

How had they managed to fool everyone into believing that nonsense? Was he going to take the truth to his grave, just as Marvel had? Was he going to spend the rest of his life lying about what had really happened to him, to them? But what was the point of the truth now?

Diana wrapped her arms around him, pulling him close to her in a tight embrace. He wanted to cry, but he’d run out of tears a long time ago.

She gently led him away from the memorial built to honor the part of him that was already dead.

He turned back to look at it one more time.

“Shazam,” he whispered.

But nothing happened.

"That's exactly the sort of behaviour I'd expect from a... man like you." for the ask game?

"That's exactly the sort of behaviour I'd expect from a....man like you." Sneered Fanny.

"Ooh, fanks!" Replied Robin.

"It wasn't a compliment!"

"You call me man. Not ape or savage or fleabag. Sounded like upgrade?"

"Think she meant it more as an insult to our gender, mate." Clarified Julian from the other side of the chess table.

"Oh...What is gender?" Asked the caveman, which made Alison groan from the sofa as she could predict the heated conversation that was about to erupt from that question.

🌤️ Share your favorite piece of dialogue from your WIP.

We’ll do an angsty snippet of dialogue from What You Wish For:

“Cody?” He hated the confusion in Obi-Wan’s voice, but it would not break his resolve. He was leaving whether Obi-Wan was there to see him go or not. “You’re leaving.”

“It’s time. It’s been time for awhile now, but…” He shrugged, not knowing how to put any of it into words. He loved Obi-Wan and always would, but love could only get them so far. “I’ll be in the town to the west for at least a few days. If you want to join me you can, but I won’t do this anymore. I can’t.”

“We are nearly there. We cannot give up now.”

“You can’t give up. I gave you six months. It’s been two years. Maybe there’s something out there. Maybe there’s nothing. It doesn’t matter. I just want peace. I want a little house. I want to do something that makes me happy. Maybe a few people to call friends. Maybe a family someday.” Cody took a shaky breath and bit back the sob caught in his throat. “I just want a place to call home. I thought that was you.”

“Cody—”

“I’ll wait. Just a few days.” Cody stepped closer and pressed a kiss to Obi-Wan’s cheek, a gentle goodbye while his heart tore itself into jagged pieces. “I love you. I’ll always love you. I hope you find what you seek, but most of all I hope you find peace.”
