Hello! Since I’m binge reading all of your Genshin fanfics I wanted to ask how would you describe your experience contributing to zines? I’m considering it and wanted to ask someone who’s done this before. Is the process fun? Stressful? Both? I’d assume writing with a deadline is not easy! When did you first start? Don’t spare details please, tell me everything about your experience! I have minimal knowledge on the topic

Hey, there! I'm glad you're enjoying my Genshin works!! And of course, I've been in about three fucktillion zines by now so I'd be happy to talk about what it's like! Long post under the cut:

Not all zines are the same but most of them follow approximately the same outline of expectations for you as a contributor, which is:

After you've applied and been accepted, you're sent an acceptance email with a link to the zine server.

You join the server, and after a few days for everyone to trickle in, the mods will post a spreadsheet or a google form where you can submit 2-3 pitches, aka. ideas of what you think you could write for the zine, which should be reasonably different from one another. The reason for having 2-3 is so that not everyone ends up writing the same thing. I prefer when zines give spreadsheets rather than google forms so that I can see what other writers are pitching and make sure I'm not submitting something samey. There will likely be guidelines for what you can pitch (limitations on characters, ships, rating, etc).

(Optional) Some zines do author/artist collabs, and this is usually the time period during which folks figure out if they'd like to collab, and if so, with whom.

After a week or so, you are told which of your pitches you will be writing for the zine.

Creation period! Now you write a fic based on your pitch, usually 2-3k words in length depending on the zine. There's usually 3-4 check-ins scattered throughout the several month period that you get to write during, when the mods basically want to see how far you've gotten to make sure you're making progress. Sometimes you have the option of asking for feedback, but often the writing mod isn't going to be doing that until your final piece is submitted.

At the end of the creation period, you submit your final piece, usually with some formatting stuff like "highlight every time you use italics so the formatting mod can see it." The writing mod will beta it, toss it back to you so you can accept edits, and then that will be the final version in the zine. Voila!

Everything after that is just you waiting for preorders and production. Other stuff that will probably happen at some point includes submitting a snippet for the graphics mod to make a little preview graphic of your piece, and reblogging/retweeting zine stuff during preorders to promote sales.

To answer your more specific questions:

I started in late 2020 when I applied to a Hawks-centric My Hero Academia zine at the same time that I was invited to a My Hero Academia and Harry Potter crossover zine, both of which were an amazing experience. I find that the deadline is really not a source of stress, because you get several months to write 2-3k words and each check-in is only asking for a little bit of progress. My first check-in, for example, is pretty much always just the outline. That said, I'm not really applying to zines anymore (unless something exactly up the alley of my current hyperfixation pops up, which at the time of writing would be a Hazbin Hotel or radiostatic zine, haha) for a few different reasons.

Firstly, I've legitimately been in four dozen zines. I've scratched the itch, haha.

Secondly, particularly in the Genshin Impact space, the zine craze caught on so aggressively that the average quality of zine mod teams declined pretty sharply. There are a number of zine mods that I really trust, and I've been in some phenomenally run zines, but I'm also just kind of tired of the physical production period of a zine taking a year or longer when I know it can be done in like three months. Not to mention the number of times people in the zine space have straight up absconded with money.

Thirdly and most importantly, the actual part of zine writing that I don't enjoy very much anymore is the limitations put on my writing. It's an inherent and understandable part of the process that a fic has to be within a specific word count and topic, but I also have just hit the point where I personally want to write whatever the hell I want without coming up with three separate fic concepts and hoping that the one I actually feel passionate about is chosen - not to mention I've actually ducked out of zines before when the mods were so nitpicky about what they wanted me to write that it felt less like I was a guest writer invited to create something of my own, and more like they were looking for a cheap way to basically custom commission writing from me. And I've also noticed that the pickier the mods are about my writing, the less I end up liking what I create. There's actually three zine fics, now, that I'm never going to publish because I just don't think they turned out very good, and they are all from zines where I felt my writing got micromanaged.

All of that said, I'm basically highlighting the small number of things I disliked out of, again, four dozen zines, so I really encourage you to go for it! A well-run zine is a blast to be a part of, and my favorites have always been ones where it is clearly a labor of love and genuine interest.

Here are some tips when choosing a zine to apply to:

Look at the mods and their pages, and look for mods that have completed zines in the past, but aren't currently part of 4+ incomplete projects. For mods, you want experience, but you don't want someone who's just jumping into every single project they see.

Every P4P zine I've been a part of has been fucking amazing so far. These only get made in certain fandoms, though (mostly danmei). I'm sure they're not all perfect (there's one I know that's a little sketchy), but I think the lack of promise of profit attracts people genuinely invested in the project itself rather than money or clout or whatever.

Pick a zine that you know you will enjoy writing about the subject of. Don't apply to something because you like the character it's about, but you don't actually really know what you'd write for it.

Make sure they have a reasonably large number of followers on Twitter and appealing graphics. This speaks to a couple of things: 1) how well the zine is likely to sell and 2) how well the social media and other mods actually know what they're doing in terms of promo. If a zine has less than several hundred followers and they want to put out a physical copy, I would personally hesitate, because there's a good chance they won't break even on sales. Especially in the Genshin Impact fandom specifically.

Hopefully that was helpful! If you have any more specific questions, feel free to throw them my way.

WAIT WAIT WAIT I FORGOT WE WERE TUMBLR MUTUALS!! HI HELLO!!!

i'll backtrack a bit!! hi this is eta (currently elwinged but i was also previously radiantsusan/phantomsjulie) and i don't think we've ever actually talked but we ARE mutuals on tumblr and i LITERALLY didn't realise until i was scrolling through my old posts (as you do) and went WAIT I'M MUTUALS WITH STORMWARNINGS (and the answer was YES) and the reason i was so surprised is because i've been bingeing so many of your fics on ao3 recently bc i got back into star wars and! they're! so! good!!!!

i have a special appreciation for 'bury me beneath the tree i climbed when i was a child', it's so gorgeously heartwarming and made me feel all the good feels because it felt so lovely and healing! (my ao3 bookmark says: oh!! oh this was so heartwarming i'm about to cry!!)

and then ALSO (sorry this is going to be a long one) your series 'how i long to grow old'??? THANKS I'M SOBBING????? like it's fix it series but also i am crying over how much these people have lost and yet they still keep getting up???? i love how you write cody and rex and their various interactions, their grief and burdens feel so so so real (also. hey. hey. *grips you gently on the shoulder*. fox. WHY. i am sobbing.) AND THAT TITLE???? YES THEY DO. THEY LONG TO GROW OLD. SCREAMING.

and then ALSO (i said this was going to be a long one) the one that i keep reading and not realising it's also by you, an author who has written many of my favourite fics ('come down from your moutnain')!!!!!! you got the commanders and their relationships with their jedi SO RIGHT!!!! like "are they all like that?" "like what?" and the answers being BEAUTIFUL CLEVER MERCILESS BURNING BLOODSTAINED UNNERVING and you've got them pinned down to a POINT you've got their characters dissected you write them so well!!! i am in awe (and also have that passage screenshotted and favourited)

and you ALSO have written one of my fave silm pieces ever (and i... also didn't realise that stormwarnings who wrote the silm piece and stormwarnings who wrote the codywan au were the same person until a couple months ago and i went. HUH. WAIT.), 'celestial bodies', which is such a gorgeous gorgeous explanation of idril and maeglin if they were a little bit kinder to each other. like--- "you knew my mother. would you tell me about her?" I AM LYING ON THE FLOOR FACEDOWN. and how you emphasise their age and how that shapes them differently!!! lomion is so young and idril has seen things that will never be seen again and it's THEM, it's how it SHAPES them, it's how they understand each other!! i am losing it.

anyway! sorry for the extremely long ask, i was just kind of going ??? the whole morning being like WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M MUTUALS WITH ONE OF MY FAVE AUTHORS!! so!! thanks for writing some of the absolute best works i've ever read + i hope you have a wonderful day!!

RADIANTSUSAN OMG I WAS WONDERING WHERE YOU HAD GONE!!!!!!!!!! eta this made me cry in my first class genuinely this is the sweetest message and such a nice thing to wake up to!!!!

i am SO happy that you (and so many others) were touched by 'bury me beneath the tree' because that fic was truly a labor of love and a little piece of my soul and it makes me so happy to hear how much it was enjoyed. also i promise there is more of 'how i long to grow old' in the works - i have probably ten other fics plotted out, ive just been so busy with college and work and life. as for my other fics, thank you! im still really proud of 'celestial bodies', and the art that my trsb partner made was so beautiful.

anyway NO YOU your art and edits are always so lovely! so happy to see you pop up on my dash again :) have a fantastic day!

I just finished reading You've Been Gone So Long, Baby and holy shit. I literally cried so hard reading every chapter, it was so beautiful and sad but im so happy it was a happy ending. Also a while back when I discovered FFTD, I read the first 50 chapters in 3 days, I was obsessed, I was kicking my feet and giggling everytime time I read it and it truely is such a highlight of my week everytime a new chapter comes out. I want to say thank you so much for your wonderful writing, it truely is fantastic. It's easy to tell how passionate, talented and deticated you are about your work. You actually are one of the main inspirations for me, that made me go for it and start writing and posting my own fics, so thank you again for that. I hope you have a wonderful day and I can't wait to read more of your works in the future!

Ahh omg thank you!! ❤️ I am so glad you liked it!! And I promised a happy ending so I definitely was going to deliver with that one! That story was actually inspired by someone asking me if the Blip occurs or had occurred in FFTD and then I had a thought about doing that to Matt and Reader before realizing that would be way too cruel. But the idea wouldn't get out of my head until I wrote it down--and that's how You've Been Gone So Long, Baby came about!! I got so emotional writing it myself some times because I felt awful doing that to poor Matt 😅

That makes me so incredibly happy to hear that you binged FFTD! I always feel like binging is a huge compliment because I know what it's like to not be able to put a story or a fic down!! I love that it's a highlight to your week ❤️ That means so much! Thank you!

Ahhh you're going to make me happy sob, friend!! ❤️😭 I'm so happy to hear I could inspire you to write! I literally just saw one of your stories pop up on my feed (or whatever y'all call it on tumblr) and I was trying to read it while making dinner!! It was so good! Always love a horn dog Matty (especially doing naughty things in a shower) 🤣👌🏻 Definitely keep writing (as long as you're enjoying it, of course)!!

I hope you have a wonderful day too, friend! ❤️ There will definitely be more works from me (I'm unwell when it comes to Matt Murdock 😅). I hope you keep writing, too!

Thanks for answering my ask......If you don't mind me asking (again), what are your top 10 (or top 7) favorite media (can be books/ manga/ anime/movies/tv series)? Why do you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before......Thanks....

lol hello again, ty for asking me this! I promise I'll give you more than 7 answers this time lol

Tian Guan Ci Fu/tgcf (book series, donghua) - I stumbled upon this randomly back in 2021 through its brand new donghua and I've loved it ever since. I adore the characters and the plot is both extremely complex and absolutely wild. it's roughly 750,000 words but I was able to read it in a week despite having school because I was so invested in it!

Moriarty the Patriot/mtp (manga, anime)- I think this is funny bc I tried watching bbc sherlock once and did NOT like it, so I just thought I wasn't into the sherlock holmes stuff. WRONG! I just had to discover this. I call this the "best sherlock holmes adaptation" for a reason (check my current pinned post, you'll find many reasons why I love mtp; I don't want to sound like a broken record so I don't plan to repeat them). I can't wait for when (or if) the manga comes out of its break/hiatus

Good Omens (book, show) - both the book and the miniseries/show are so near and dear to my heart. I always have a soft spot for watching supernatural entities fall in love (with each other and) the world around them. also, it's funny as hell

Promare (movie) - goooood I love Promare it's so neat; love the colors and the shapes and the plot is fun despite its simplicity. I could rewatch this movie every day for a month straight and not get tired of it

Arc of a Scythe trilogy (book series) - this is not something I've talked about a love, but this is one of my favorite book series! found it back around the same time I did tgcf; it's fucking insane I loooove the worldbuilding and the main cast, and by the second book every other page was like a plot twist gutting me in the best way possible; it's made me ponder about life and death on more than one occasion too

Matched trilogy (book series) - I started reading this in either 5th/6th grade but didn't really get it so I kinda forgot about it until around 2021-2022 (what? I actually had time to READ that year!) and managed to reread it and it was like a third eye opened. I really enjoyed the mystery unfolding in the trilogy! it's pretty cool imo, even tho I think (?) it was meant for teenagers to read

Not So Shoujo Love Story (webcomic) - this webcomic is so fucking funny AND it's wlw! I've been a fan for years it's so good

Bee and Puppycat/Bee and Puppycat: Lazy in Space (show) - a comfort show of mine (one of many); I'm in love with the atmosphere of the show and how awkwardly real the dialogue tends to be (plus I've been slowly rewatching it with my gf with is always a plus <3); I love both the og and its "reboot" equally, and would recommend people watch both

Snow White with the Red Hair (anime) - I haven't read the manga for this one, but I've seen the anime and it's another comfort show of mine. It's so sweet and cozy and the entire cast is lovable; even the "bad guy" in the first season is someone you grow to root for by the end of the second season. it's great!

Supernatural (show) - even tho I haven't finished the show and idk when/if I ever will, I still consider it a favorite media of mine. not bc I think it's great (it's good in most places, lacking in other), but bc I pretty much grew up with it. I have a core memory of watching the first handful of episodes when I was younger with my dad on the couch with the first time and being hooked on this strange show about supernatural creatures (I was that kid that enjoyed the supernatural! I read ghost story books, I binged every Goosebumps book I could get my hands on in fourth grade, I had a creepypasta phase, etc); even now in 2024 I've been sitting down with my dad to rewatch it with him before I go back to my college dorm and start back up classes. it's less so one of my favorite medias because I think it's good but because I associate it with my family <3

#is this your thing dnana? I took a peek at your blog the first time you sent me an ask and all your reblogs were people answering this ask #I think it's a sweet thing to do!#ty for the ask I really appreciate it #normally people don't send me asks lol I have to go in groupchats and ask my friends to send asks every time I rb an ask game #so ty!

hey there, i'm a 'long time listener, first time caller' just wanting to send some love and appreciation your way. i really enjoy reading your fics and look forward to all your updates! you sure know how to set a proper thirst trap <3

you actually gave me the kick i needed to binge babylon 5 because it was on my radar for some time. i had just finished ds9 a while back (not my first watch), and i was still jones-ing for some sci-fi. you made some posts about the show and the rest is history lol

after finishing the series a couple of weeks ago, my 'b5 blorbos' are bester, neroon, and g'kar. i have some very specific scenarios that currently play in my head that i'd love for someone as skilled as you to put out into the world. i can't wait until you open fic requests again! ;)

but in the meantime, i'm thoroughly enjoying all the other fics in your impressive catalogue. i came for the garak/reader stories (no pun intended!), but i stayed for the likes of koval, letant, vreenak, solok, vorik, and dukat.

again, kudos on continuing to post these fics, they're really well-written. some explicit material can be very tiresome and/or juvenile, but it's clear you have quality writing experience to back you up, and you have great instincts as to what works and what doesn't. keep up the fantastic work! <3

Aww, thank you so much!!! I'm so glad you like my stories! I'm just gonna come out and say it: I've been hoarding this ask in my inbox and re-reading it every time I needed a pick-me-up, so uh...I apologize for being so late to respond. This ask has just been giving me the very good brain chemicals. 😅

First off, thank you so so much for your kind words and for taking the time to jump into my ask box to say something about it! I really do appreciate your support! 💖

Second, omg you are (I think) the third person I have managed to convince that Babylon 5 is worth a watch! I'm so honored that I was able to give you the lil push you needed to finally try it out. (I'm still on Season 3, because I've been trying to savor new shows instead of unhealthily binging things to the point of sleep deprivation like I've done in the past lol.) I'm so glad you enjoyed the show and have new blorbos!! Bester is very intriguing to me. Neroon is Very Yes™. And G'Kar...OMG G'KAR. 😍 He's my main B5 blorbo, if I'm gonna be completely honest and truthful about the situation. (Hence the lorge, semi-elaborate fic that "Who Reads The Mind-Reader?" is about to become once the SoC challenge is over. 🙈) Andreas Katsulas did such an amazing job in that role that it's almost impossible not to like G'Kar.

As for my requests, when I do eventually re-open them, I will for sure be adding characters from B5 to my list of people I'm willing to write for, so I'm totally open to writing those for you! I'm so glad that you've been enjoying my other fics in the meantime! I've had a lot of fun writing all of them, so I'm always glad to hear that people are still enjoying them!

Thank you again for your super sweet words, my friend! 💖 I may not have any professional writing experience under my belt (yet), but I do have a couple of actual novels I'm working on, so at some point in the future when I've figured out the whole process of becoming a published author, that will hopefully change! Until then, I hope you continue to enjoy my humble little fanfics! 🙏💖 Happy reading!! Feel free to drop by any time!

hi! ive been binging your stuff on ao3 because it's like, super good and i love your ideas and writing anddd i had a question! so initially i was here for scarian, but youve got some dsmp fic on there that has also been included in the reading marathon and i was wondering in particular about the ghost tommy fic? would you be up for talking about any plans you mightve had for that story? it just awoke all my old sad feelings over ctommy (〒﹏〒) totally fine if not though! anways. eats ur writing <3

ANON

This is literally the sweetest compliment oh my gods... im genuinely so flattered that you've been marathon reading my stuff!!! its always such a pleasant shock to hear that people enjoy it, but liking it enough to binge read a bunch of my other works?? i am on the floor this is literally so nice

I wanna preface this by saying none of my dsmp works are abandoned!!! I almost never fully abandon fics-- i think the only one that i've ever chosen to abandon was my voltron fic, and that was for specific fandom experience reasons. Right now, all of my dsmp fics are just kinda on hold until i can get the motivation up to eventually finish them, but i know exactly where i want to go with each one.

So with that being said, you will be delighted to know that when the night cries is actually fully finished. The fic is written, i have all five chapters done. The only thing holding me back iiiiiis... the fact that the unpublished chapters are only rough draft. I freely admit i am very insecure about my rough draft writing, especially compared to what i post on ao3. It's been an incredibly huge leap for me to even post my rough draft work on here with minimal edits-- i havent gotten near to the point yet where i feel confident posting them to ao3, which is kind of a shame considering a heart choked full with wanting, my first ever work for dsmp, is a 14k wip that has never seen the light of day 😭😭😭😭

My final drafting process is intensive. I've made a few posts about this before, but i rewrite my rough drafts entirely from the ground up, using a very strict personal style guide i've developed over the years, and while it produces quality i can be proud of, it does,,, take a while 😅😅😅 a really long while. This is why the 7k scarian fic i finished months ago hasnt been posted yet lmao

So!! Rest assured i am actually picking at wtnc chapter 3 here and there!!! It's completed, i just need to rewrite it, but unfortunately my wilbur chapters are always my goddamn problem children when it comes to editing 😭😭 akdneks sorry this got so lengthy anon, but i really wanted to reassure you that wtnc isn't abandoned. Literally just for you im gonna go poke at it rn and see if i can get any more progress done, because gods know i want it published just as much as the people waiting for updates presumably do❤️❤️❤️

#shouting speaks #asks #GENUINELY THIS IS SO SWEET #im always so caught off guard by compliments like this skdnskdjd /pos #but yeah i have been trying to make steps towards at least posting rough draft stuff to here that ppl can enjoy #the reception so far has been... shockingly positive??? and thats helping a lot #literally if you've left nice tags on my fic posts i have screenshotted them and put them in a little folder to keep #and whenever i feel bad about my writing i go and look at them again❤️❤️❤️#dkdjejddk sorry i didnt end up talking about plans much anon!!! but i will say in here that chap 3 involves some breakthroughs :]#>:]#dsmp #my aus #txt

I love you so much sometimes I just wanna scream I’m so happy and proud you’re here after everything and you make me so goddamn happy even when you’re not here meeting you was the best thing that happened to me in this place and as much as I hate this city I’m so glad i moved here because I met literally the most awesome people and you’re at the top of that list i can’t stop thinking about how I’ll be moving out in a year and you’ll always be the best thing I associate with here and I’ll miss you a little but not more than I do now because I can’t wait until all this is over and we have all the time in the world and you’re my soul sister and that makes me want to hug you forever even more because our brains are a fucking shithole and the past two years especially haven’t been easy for you but you’re STILL HERE and im just so happy you areee and everything feels like a constricted box right now but I can’t wait to do so many things with you once we get into the real world starting with the bucket list and we can LIVE and I really hope we stay in each other’s lives for a long long time after this because there’s so much I wanna do with you and I know it’s a huge unpredictable thing to say but I know I’m never gonna stop trying and time and distance and living in different cities or whatever suck but they’re not enough to make me stop trying because as long as we both try I know I’ll never lose you and just that itself let alone everything else makes me so excited about living and the future because whatever happens or however shitty everything gets Im gonna be there for you I LOVE YOU OKAY BYE

I know I'm replying really late to this but I wanted to let you know how happy this makes me. I love you so much and you're my favorite person in forever and you know I always wanted a soulmate like Beomgyu and Soobin (two of the members of txt) and I'm pretty sure we could be that after we're done with boards and get into colleges and I cant wait to just call you whenever I want and show up at your place unannounced so we could just be in each other's presence and we could binge watch shows and read books together and draw and write stories, make each other playlists and make secret handshakes and trust each other enough to tell each other every little thing in our lives and strike out things one by one on our bucket list and I'm so happy you messaged me that day on Insta cause that was the beginning of our friendship that led to this and I love how we're literally the same person and have the same taste and opinions and I'm so grateful for every invisible string that connects us and even if a few of them come untied I don't care cause you don't stop loving a person if they change one thing about themselves and I'm so damn sure you will always have an amazing personality and how you've become my comfort person cause you always manage to lift my spirits with a single text or by tagging me in a post (hence calling me out which only shows how well you know me) you're one of the best people I've ever met and I'm so glad to have you in my life and I can't wait to be your comfort person. you're one the precious few reasons I believe in soulmates and look forward to the future instead of dragging through each day. like you said the future is unpredictable but I too won't stop trying cause I truly don't want to lose you or ever hurt you and I promise I'll always be there for you no matter what life throws at us. I'm platonically in love with you <33

Chelle! God it's been a while but I hope life has been treatin u well :)

I've been really good! But summer feels just as busy as spring sometimes and I hate the heat, so I feel you with your weather talk 😅 I think I've got a bit of writer's block too (it really sucks now that I have more time to write, yet can barely manage). Though your response was a while ago so I hope you aren't dealing with that anymore!

The only thing I haven't read yet is Half Love. I really wanted to wait until it was finished so I could binge it all, but I figure I might read it after I finish writing this! I really like Ten Days, characters who are a bit oblivious to the fact that they like the other is always fun to watch. They're both secretly simps for each other if you ask me hehe.

I ALSO finally took the time to read up on all the chapters of Lost in Assistance and 63 was definitely a rollercoaster of emotionss, I think you captured the dark theme really well at the end there! I WAS NOT expecting things to go left like that

You said something about wanting to write a dark wanda or dark nat fic and I hope you try it, I think it'll be lovely :) Coincidentally I made a wandanat fic a few days ago which I plan on posting- it's not dark or anything (though I want to try my hand at it eventually) but yeah! You still haven't followed me yet but maybe that's a hint >:)?

I really didn't know how to continue this convo since it has been such a long time, but like I said earlier I hope you've been good 😌

- 🗿 <3

Hiiiiiii!! Oh my god! Yes, it has been a long time!

Sorry for the delay too. How are you?

I just started to feel better after got all fucked up for a week because I got Covid. It was torture so I haven't been really writing that much.

I just started back into writing since the last time I told you that I got writer's block but then I got covid.

It gets hotter and hotter here. It's humid as well. I dont like it and really really hope that summer to end. I love when it rains or thunderstorm here though because it's cooler temperature and the lighting is crazy and thunders are so loud. I literally can feel it shakes the house wall. Have I ever ask where you from? I forgot. I'm sorry. If you are from U.S, which state are you at? You don't have to answer if you dont feel like to.

It has been a while so I forgot what was the last story I posted since our last conversation.haha

About Half Love, well it's still a long way to the end of the story so if you plan to wait until it's done to read it, it will be a while. :D

I'm pretty proud with Ten Days even though it was inspired by a romcom. I love it because that series has the most humor I ever put in my writing. It has been a while I havent update it, i gotta write that soon. ahaha.

Yaay, you finally read ch, 63.. I think that was the fic I posted the last time I talk with you. I already posted ch. 64 and starting t work on the last chapter of the series. Ch. 63 was my first trying to write something dark and i'm glad it worked out.

I also finally wrote my very first Dark!Wanda oneshot and my very first Natasha fic! Yaaay! Can't wait to hear what you think about them. Also, I really wanna read your work.. Too bad after I follow bunch more tumblr writer, I still havent found you and followed you :( I will follow more then.ahahahah.

Who do you write for, wanda, nat and wandanat or other characters as well?

I hope you have been good as well and we can talk more. I'm glad i hear back from you!

Cheerio!

hello hello! how is your latest writing WIP coming along? Are there any particular scenes you're really looking forward to writing? Any characters you've fallen in love with more than you anticipated? (this is a friendly excuse to talk about your story and characters!)

Oh boy... You've opened the floodgates, my friend.

The Dragon Prince's Consort is going well, I'm several chapters ahead of the posting schedule but I am having to acknowledge the fact that I've been on a little bit of a dry spell because of starting a new job. It's one of those that needs a lot of brainpower in the beginning because I'm still training, and I'm the kind of person who stresses out if things aren't just *PERFECT* so the period between "I'm new so no one expects me to know anything yet" and "I've been here long enough to know what I'm doing" is my least-favorite part of starting a new job. Some days I come home with half a brain cell and just enough energy left to eat a handful of shredded cheese and go to sleep. Damn you, capitalism! Let me write!!

But enough of that.

At the moment TDPC is hovering just under 160 reads on Wattpad, which is fine because a lot of people who follow me wait until I'm done writing to binge. STARFISH was like that, once I let everyone know it was DONE done I started getting weekend warriors who would mainline the whole thing in a couple of days and flood my inbox with screaming emojis. Someone is doing that right now and it's always a delight.

Anyway, TDPC is all plotted out and has been for a while now, so the task is to finish writing the damn thing. And like most ADHD people I already have another story lined up that I'm working on an outline for and may or may not have started drafting the first chapter 😉 I like to take little breaks from one story and work on something else to keep things fresh and interesting, otherwise it's like eating pizza for breakfast, lunch and dinner - pizza is great, I love pizza, but by Day 2 I'll gnaw off my own legs for a salad or some soup.

This new one I'm excited about because I've never written a true Villain before. Well, he's not really a villain, per se, more like a "fuck you, fuck your rules, I do what I want" type of guy. I figured if I've written two stories with cinnamon-roll male leads it's time for someone who's more a walking middle finger to society and laws in general. While he's not a mass-murderer or anything, this guy definitely has blood on his hands and isn't the easiest to live with, as the heroine will find out once she's conscious again. I figure most people love a Bad Boy who is a Good Man, so I'm going to see what I can do with that.

Now for his foil, boy is SHE a mess. Look, someone is going to take one look at this sorry thing and yell BOO MARY SUE but frankly I don't care. There's a point to making her such a sad sack and it won't become clear until her bastardization arc kicks in. Plus, I figure if she has a history of making terrible decisions when it comes to men then having her do a little more of the same is in-character for her. Except maybe this time it's different because she's trying NOT to be such a good girl, maybe this time she won't be so naive and her newfound cynicism might prove useful.

The whole story has a Heavy Metal (of which I am a MASSIVE fan) vibe to it, it's a lot grittier than my last two and that's on purpose. I've been listening to a lot of psychedelic doom metal (more than usual) to get my head in the right space for it, which has been interesting. It's not going to be a pretty story, full of flowers and sparkles and happy, because at this point in the universe in my head all the shiny has worn off the concept of First Contact and now we have to deal with the realities of life in space among half a dozen other species, all with their own goals, fears and issues. I've decided to leave my comfort zone of writing cute stories about sweet people and instead do something that I think a lot of people are going to see as dark and even problematic - some themes are not going to be easy to digest, even for someone like me who's lived a relatively easy life, but I hope that I can do some justice to it by 1, talking about it and thus making it less taboo, and 2, doing what I usually do which is make the plot as important as the sexy bits.

However, I do have some hard rules I DON'T break while writing, and there are a few things I will NOT use as plot devices or tropes - I don't write about SA, I won't write an abusive relationship, and I don't do age gaps where one person is underage. I may go right up to the line and stare at it, but not only am I not comfortable writing those I don't want to drive readers off. I'm grey about "trigger warnings" in that I think people should be prepared to run into things that may upset them in fiction, film and art because that's the whole point, but I also believe in self-censorship and letting people decide for themselves to put down something I or another creator has made. It's only fair to give readers an out when things get too hairy, I've put down a LOT of books because the author decided that dubcon was okay when it wasn't, or because their male MC was just an insufferable ass with Alpha Male syndrome (yuck). Hell, I've lost interest in entire SERIES because I've seen tropes get subverted and then the author goes back on the old trope, completely derailing and destroying what could have been a WONDERFUL twist because they didn't commit to getting weird with it. Like my late father always said, "If you're gonna be a bear, be a Grizzly." At the very least, be a Grizzly in a funny hat.

Scenes I'm really looking forward to include Captain PTSD's "aren't you tired of being good?" speech, Miss Sad Sack discovering his "Daddy Mode" and being UNCOMFORTABLY turned on by it, a recurring bit where she has to sit in his lap for business reasons and it is excruciatingly embarrassing how much she comes to like it, an incident where wounds are literally licked in super-inappropriate places, a plethora of R-rated one-liners, and a frankly STUPID amount of sexual tension between two idiots who know EXACTLY what needs to happen, but pride, stubbornness and personal convictions keep it from happening (just... SO MUCH TENSION). A lot of really bad decisions will be made and people are gonna get hurt, but I'm hoping by the end what looks like the beginning of a Very Bad Situation will turn out to be the best thing that ever happened to both of them. I'm also looking forward to playing with more Daddy-dom scenarios that AREN'T borderline abusive, the concept of "you cannot legislate morality", a new alien species with some WEIRD behavioral quirks, and ☆*KNOTTING*☆ Yaaaay!

If you're gonna be a bear, be a Space-Grizzly with a wizard hat and a tricycle made of napalm and glitter.

Hi anyone reading this!

I made this blog while I was anorexic. I couldn't admit at the time that I was sick.

It's almost been 3 years since I started recovering, and I just want to tell you, that it was all worth it.

I am happy, I am healthy. I love to cook and eat and when I go out with friends for dinner the only thing occupying my mind is what next delicious thing will I find on the menu.

The weight that I gained in the first part of recovery eventually balanced out and the excess dissappeared. At first I was always bingeing and felt out of control, but you need to know that that part will not last forever! Eventually it will pass and one day you will realize that you can eat the cake in your fridge or leave it alone until you feel like eating it, and it will not feel like a big deal.

This post is not about me bragging about how I was able to overcome my ED, not at all. It is an encouragement to anyone reading this that though it may feel scary at the beginning, recovery is absolutely worth it!

It will probably never leave me completely. I can still look at a plate and count the calories. The other day I was explaining to a friend how 1g of fat, carbs or alcohol each have x, y, z calories in it and she looked at me horrified. I still only drink coke zero. Somedays I still catch myself thinking "oh if I was thinner", "if I only stopped and starved for the day", but I now know that I am stronger than these fleeting moments, and learnt how to shake them off. You will learn too.

There is so much joy in this life. 3 years ago I couldn't see or enjoy even the smallest of happy things. But we all deserve happiness. You deserve to not care about the calories of a cocktail when you go out to party with friends. You deserve extra fries, you deserve another slice of cake at your birthday.

If you've read this far, I want apologize for rambling but also thank you for reading. I love you all, and hope you will join me in recovering eventually.

I was thinking about deleting this blog, but on second thought I think I will stay. So if you ever need someone to talk to who understands, I will be here. I will always listen. You are strong amd beautiful and have a bright future ahead of you that I cannot wait to see.

Hi. Just wanted to drop a note to say Im a fan of your blog and I really appreciate your insights on ggdd matters and also lgbt topics. I'm not sure if you've answered this before but I'm curious about how you became a fan a GgDd? You seem so knowledgeable I would think you've been a fan since forever.

Thanks for your kind words, Anon, I’m glad you’re enjoying my blog! 💛

I could have sworn that I have answered this question before, but apparently not. I know I’ve talked about it a lot in private conversations with people, but I guess I’ve never made a post about it despite having been asked multiple times. Sorry for all the Anons who have been kept waiting. Here is your answer.

We have my sister to thank for my obsession with all things GGDD.

She is a huge Chinese drama fan and was always voraciously watching all the series. She became obsessed with The Untamed in the fall of 2019, and tried to get me to watch it. She kept saying, “There’s a character on there (meaning Wangji), I swear he’s just like you! You’ll love him!” She raved about about ‘these beautiful men in this epic story’, and went on and on about it. I wasn’t all that interested so I didn’t pay it much mind at first.

She was SO annoyed that I wouldn’t watch it, because she felt it would be totally up my alley if I’d just give it a chance. She told me that this was a queer story and that it had faced a lot of barriers to be able to be presented in China, and that the team had done some very creative things to get around censorship.

She said that the two lead actors were queer and in a real relationship, and talked about how difficult it must be for them. I didn’t know at the time what ‘shipping’ was or ‘fan service’ - I just took the information at face value and assumed it was true. I think that’s what interested me and finally got me to watch it - the whole ‘queer series, queer actors’ angle. It was a compelling story.

OK, EDIT: My sister read the post and said, “I recall the sentence that worked being ‘If you don't want to watch these boys fall in love, then oh well.’” 😂

So I started watching it at some point in the fall/winter of 2019. At first I was very put off by it. It was such an unfamiliar genre and all the names were confusing. It seemed like every character had a dozen different names. But at a certain point in the series I became completely hooked. Totally and completely hooked. I binged the series over and over again.

My sister was right - I loved Wangji so much, but I especially loved DD. I watched absolutely everything I could find about him. Hours and hours of videos, interviews, performances.

I am autistic, and the way my brain works is that when something becomes a fascination of mine, I fixate on it and my brain starts creating all these questions about it that I have a driving need to find answers to.

That became my reality with The Untamed and with GG and DD, especially DD at first (I now love them both equally). I wanted to understand how he came to be the extremely unique, brilliant guy he is. I wanted to understand GG and how he went from being a graphic designer (a career I once held) to this multi-talented superstar. I wanted to understand how they came to develop such an unshakeable bond.

I wanted to understand the entertainment business in China and how this beautiful, heavily censored, very queer story managed to be told better than most Western queer stories are. I wanted to understand the queer politics and history of China, and how all of that might play into GG and DD's experience.

So I did a lot of research and reading and watching clips and re-watching things until I felt I had a better understanding. When I have a fixation I can become a bit of an encyclopedia on the subject, so if I appear to know a lot, that’s probably why. But I think it’s more that I just have a mental map that I’ve filled out as best I can. Some of the information might be incomplete or even inaccurate at times, but I do my best.

I haven’t been following these boys for all that long - maybe just over a year and a half (since late 2019)? But I’ve absorbed every bit of information I can about them and watched every clip that I’ve been able to get my hands on, often multiple times. There are definitely a lot of people out there who have a much deeper history with them than I do, and who know a lot more than I do about them, particularly in the context of the Chinese entertainment industry.

I didn’t even realize it until someone pointed it out to me, but I was basically a turtle before I even knew who GG and DD were! I went into watching The Untamed believing that they were a real couple, completely unaware of all the implications of fandom, etc., and when I later learned about fan service and how promo is done for things like this, I went through a period of thinking the whole idea had been foolish, and not believing anymore (YT can be a cruel, ruthless social space 😅).

Over time, through watching all the videos and interviews and learning everything I learned about them, it turned back around and I became certain that they were real. I’m now firmly BJYXSZD.

I started out on YouTube (just because that’s where a lot of the content I was seeking out lived), then moved to Twitter and eventually ended up here in August of last year. Along that journey I’ve watched a lot of hate spread and it’s been heartbreaking. Especially during the whole 22*7 thing, which I could write a whole other essay about how horrible that was and how harsh I felt about it all at the time.

Thankfully Tumblr is still a pretty positive, welcoming space, and I love it here. I’m really grateful that there’s a place like this for us to share our thoughts, feelings, ideas and love of GGDD. There are so many turtles who’ve helped me out here and have shared so much interesting information and so many clever ideas. Some of them have moved on, some are still around, all are greatly appreciated. And the new faces always make me so happy!

Fandom is a very new experience for me, at least as a social reality. Prior to GGDD I’d never read fan fiction before, or really known anything about it beyond the fact that 50 Shades of Grey was based on fan fiction. I didn't know that fan fiction was considered to be 'by and for women', or that a lot of it is sexual. I didn’t know there was a whole community around fan fiction. I didn’t know that there were fan wars or factions. I didn’t know anything about the entertainment industry outside of the West. I knew precious little about BL genres or censorship, nothing about idols or that industry. Nothing about Chinese social media, supertopics or any of that. Very little about queer politics in that region of the world.

So it’s been interesting and I’ve learned a lot, and I’ve had so much fun and I’ve met a lot of amazing people. And, of course, I’ve enjoyed those two goofballs and their bickering.

The biggest thing I can say about it all is that GG and DD and the turtles I’ve met or had the pleasure of encountering online have helped me through one of the most difficult periods in my life, through the illness and death of my mother earlier this year.

Fan fiction has helped a lot, too. I find that it’s comforting to read, and takes my mind off of things. I would never have thought of myself as even capable of enjoying romance stories, let alone ones written by fans, let alone written about real people. It sounds crazy to me when I think about it in that way, but I’m so grateful for those stories.

I’m grateful to @jadedbirch, especially, for being the one to convince me to give fan fiction a try and for acting as my ‘dealer’ in the early days, giving me only the best stories to read. It opened me up to a whole new world, and also opened my mind to things I had previously dismissed or maybe even disdained.

Anyway, hope that answers your question!

Boba smut, you say?

Could I get some dad bod Boba love post-Mandalorian season 2, if you've finished the new episode? Because our man definitely deserves some love after that shit. I personally headcannon him as being dominant AF, with lots of pet names, and a tendency to be a little rougher. Maybe some post-battle fucking to wind down in Slave I.

Thanks!

OFC We love Dad Bods here I will NOT tolerate Temura hate like at all. We don’t expect women to stay the same all their lives and we shouldn’t expect the same of men.

In talks with @emilykjh we decided that Boba decidedly, is a brat tamer so I’m definitely going along the dominant caregiver route with him.

Also tbh and probably shockingly I haven’t watched the new season all the way through AT ALL it was emotionally too much for me when it started so now I can binge it whenever 😅 I just learn things through gifs cause I don’t mind spoilers! So things may be very Vague when it comes to plot or I’ll just go with what I’ve gathered happens after the last episode. But let’s do some Older Boba stuff yes, everyone who understood the significance of Boba’s appearance better say thank you Mr. Temuera for your service.

Boba Fett x Gender Neutral Reader

Word Count: 3k+

Warnings: Caregiver/Little BDSM relationship, Daddy Kink, Age Gap (cmon he’s in his 50’s), slight drool kink, slight degradation, slight choking

[[READ MORE]]

Your ears perk up at the sound of heavy bootsteps on their way and you quickly rush to clean up your little area. Ever since Boba had taken his throne and conquered most of the underworld you and him and Fennec who you adored had made a nice little home for yourselves. What Boba teasingly called your nest was a corner of his throne room that you (and Fennec) had padded and stuffed with pillows, blankets, stuffed animals, one very long and squishy pillow and a very very large cushion you called your tuffet. It was cute little safe space you sat, read and napped in when you wanted a little alone time.

It was usually a kind of organized chaos but lately you had let it get a bit wild and before Boba had left earlier he’d told you to have it cleaned up by the time he was back, and like a true Little who usually forgot orders once they were given and wasn’t reminded you had become distracted with other things. Which is why now you were slightly sweating under your soft robe as you scrambled to set everything in its proper place so he would never know you’d-

The steps had stopped echoing. You suddenly realized besides the slick of fabric between your fingers and your little pants that the room had actually been quiet for a minute or so. You swallowed a little hard but continued your work, spreading out soft blanket on your tuffet and then tucking it underneath. Finally, you smoothed your front and turned with a smile ready for your lover.

“Daddy! You’re home! See I uhm..I did my one chore today!” You were beaming, a little sweat on your brow and your voice was sweet and welcoming. In return Boba tilted his helmeted head at you in such a way that you knew what was he was saying without him needing to voice it.

Really? Did you? Is what that look said and you fidgeted slightly, lower lip jutting out every so softly.

Well-it still counts! Doesn’t it?? Your look said and after another moment of silence you hear a sigh come from him and he finally comes toward you with a gloved hand extended to cup your face.

“I suppose I’ll let it slide today,” he says, thumb gliding over your lower lip as his eyes bore into you from behind the visor. “I’m too tired to properly punish you for waiting until the last second anyway.”

The words were slightly worrying but if something was really wrong he would’ve told you, so you brushed it off and kissed his thumb gently.

“I’ll make it up to you,” you promise, reaching to cup his helmet in your hands and then bringing your foreheads together in a keldabe kiss. He hums deep in his throat, his way of saying that you’d better.

“What can I do tonight? A hot bath? A massage?” You gasped and jumped a little, grinning. “Both??”

Boba chuckles and removes his helmet, the smile still on his handsome scarred face. “How about just a massage pet? My old muscles could use it.”

“Ah you’re not old cyare.”

You giggle at his eyebrow raise and pat his cheeks then push gently on his chest plate to back him into the hallway and towards his bedroom. Once inside the large yet fairly bare room you begin the slow and intimate process of removing his armor for him. It was something you’d been doing for awhile now, ever since you’d settled into your roles. He did so much...it was one sweet thing you could do for him back.

The tension was practically melting out of your love’s shoulders as the beskar came off. Your arms had long since adjusted to the armor’s weight over the months of this sweet ritual and the warmth of Boba’s soft eyes as he watched you easily carry his prized possessions never failed to make you feel like the most important person in the galaxy. Your skin felt fully flushed by the time he was sitting on the bed and you’d removed his boots for him.

“My sweet little Dove...,” Boba murmurs, reaching out his now ungloved hands for your hips and bringing you closer, his face now level with your chest. You smile he nuzzles against your soft skin and hum happily, arms sliding into position around his broad shoulders without a second thought.

Dove. How you loved your pet name from him. You were his sweet thing, his Little, his pure (he insisted you were pure compared to him and you’d given up trying to convince him otherwise) darling treasure. Your soft lips pressed kisses to his head and you murmured, “My Daddy...,” to which you could feel his smile against your skin just stoking flames inside you.

You remained entertwined for awhile longer, both just caressing each other sweetly and basking in the loving bubble you created each time you were together. And then you remembered what you were supposed to be doing and gasped, pulling away to look down at Boba.

“Your massage!”

Boba blinks at you in confusion for a second and then laughs, keeping a tight grip on your hips even as you go to pull away and get the oil. He gently grips your chin -effectively stopping your struggling-and brings your lips to his. You sigh softly into the kiss and simply melt like wax beneath a flame into his arms-apt considering it immediately stoked the soft fire that had begun to burn in your belly the moment you saw him into a good sized blaze.

A whine escapes your lips even as Boba depeens the kiss and pulls you onto his lap fully with your crotches rubbing together sinfully.

“Don’t laugh at me Daddy,” you whine, kissing his broad nose and then going back to his mouth. Your arms slide down around his waist and you squeeze, taking petty pleasure in the way his breath escapes him when you do. “It’s mean!”

Your Caregiver seems to, funnily enough, care, very little about your plight since as you whine he just hums and runs his big hands down to your ass and squeezes none too gently. He grins devilishly as you jump and kisses you again, lingering longer this time and swiping his tongue over your lips before he pulls away.

“So what if it is? You like it when I’m mean Dove baby...you know you can’t lie to me.” Boba jerks you closer to him and ruts his hips upwards against you, causing you to whine loudly as want shoots through your core painfully.

“Yeah baby that’s what I thought....you like it when I’m mean. Big bad mean Daddy...ain’t that right?” The older man swats at your ass when you don’t answer, your brain becoming mushy already from the feel of his body beneath your hands and his impressive cock only growing harder and longer against the apex of your thighs. “I asked you a direct question little Dove. You know I don’t like it when you don’t answer.”

After shaking your head to clear it just a little and your hands balling up his undershirt to hang on for dear life you manage a nod with your mouth open just a tad, unnoticed by you but very noticed by your lover. His eyes drop to your lips and he growls slightly, strong hands kneading at the soft flesh of your ass before he delivers two hard, stinging pops to your backside.

“Speak, cyar’ika, speak when Daddy tells you to.”

Maker you are just gone for him. You swallow the water that had gathered in your mouth at the rough handling and say clearly, full of need that that’s right, Daddy is a big bad man...your big bad man...and you even elaborate on how you love him so for it. Wetting your lips you rock against him as he basks in your obedience and drinking in his soft moan like wine, your lips rubbing against his.

“Let me massage you Daddy...I said I would...cmon. Please? Let me help?” The groan Boba emits tells you that he’s thinking of something else now, something with him on top but before he can open his mouth to give an order your bratty, slightly manipulative side comes out and you use your saccharine please Daddy do this for me or I’ll be oh so sad voice to plead to him.

“Oh please Daddy? Let me make you feel better. You said yourself you’re tired! You need a rest, just a brief one and then...” You untie your robe and let it fall, your whole body bare to him now, causing the erection between you to pulse. Your fingertips graze his throat as you tilt his face up towards yours and bite his lower lip teasingly. “You can massage my insides with that big cock of yours~ How’s that sound?”

Judging by the growl in his throat and chest- Boba likes the idea very much, and you have to fight to keep the smirk off your face. Drawing on some confidence just to tease him more you get off his lap and order him to strip and lay on the soft king sized bed the two of you shared. You could see his brown eyes narrow, debating on whether or not to just grab you and throw you on the bed and mount you like a fucking animal, but when he stood something popped in his shoulder audibly...and he stripped without a word.

The control you had over your face slipped and your grin shined out in full force as your older boyfriend complied to your demands. Really he was just a big softy with as much love to give as he had muscles and cute love handles. While he disrobed you found the bottle of massage oil he’d brought you back from one of his excursions that had multiple uses when came to making things easier, and fluffed the pillow in the middle of the bed that he always used. Your bed was so nice and so soft with lots of room for the two of you and yet Boba always slept in the middle, arms right around you and you near the edge facing the bathroom.

But you didn’t mind, you thought as you watched him lay down on his stomach with his head cradled by the now fluffy pillow and his tan body stretched out of the dark sheets. However he wanted to sleep-even if he sometimes squeezed too hard during a dream-was fine with you, as long as you were together.

‘Not gonna stand around all afternoon lookin’ at my ass are you?” You blinked and focused on Boba who was now smirking at you.

“Pbbbbt,” you said with a roll of your eyes. “No of course not! But if I was, who could blame me? It is a wonderful sight.” You climbed onto the bed as he chuckled. Knowing it would be uncomfortable for him and his still hard cock if you sat on his hips, you opted to sit more on his juicy ass instead. He hummed at the weight of you and relaxed into the pillow.

“Well if you think so it must be true,” he mumbles, “you are almost always right little Dove.”

“I am always right,” you corrected, dribbling the ever warm oil onto his broad back. He purred, and you knew it was because of the oil, but you liked to think it was because of you so you smirked. “That’s what I thought~”

You went to work then on his sore muscles, flexing your own to work the knots out with your skilled hands. Boba let his noises out freely as you worked; grunting, groaning, moaning and even at times whimpering with your palms smoothing over every inch of him you could reach.

The sun had sunk a bit by the time you were done and Boba rolled onto his back so you could finally straddle his hips. The evidence of your arousal from massaging him and his cute little noises was pressed against his balls. Your hands were on his chest and he was smoothing his own up your back slowly, sending shivers up your spine.

“My Dove...,” Boba starts on a soft sigh, his hands pulling down now to your hips to begin a gentle rocking. His cock was hardening again between the two of you and your own arousal was growing each second. “You love such a man like me? Old, a bit chubby, scarred?”

A soft sigh escaped you at the rocking, finally just a little bit of the release you had been craving since his return. You looked deeply, lovingly into Boba’s beautiful eyes. To you he was the most beautiful man in the galaxy, no matter how much he complained about his aching joints or how he was too old for you.

“Oh silly Daddy...” You sighed, taking the bottle of oil one more time and drizzling just a little on his perfect cock before taking it in your hand. His eyes darken as he watches you tilt your hips and line thick head of him up with your hole, his large hands gripping your hips tightly with anticipation. Taking the head of his cock you slap it against your hole before popping it inside and sinking down so slowly you knew his hands were going to leave bruises from gripping you so tight.

Once he was fully seated inside you you rotated your hips and opened your eyes just enough to give him a heady look. “As if I was destined for anyone else...”

You managed a wink before succumbing fully to your want for your lover, the fire he’d been stoking now turning into a raging storm with his thickness stretching you out perfectly. You both reached for each other at the same time and your mouths collided hotly as you bounced on him at an already quick pace. No time to adjust fully, fuck, Maker it just felt so good to be impaled on him again that you were frantic and starving for it. Teeth clashed, fingernails marks were definitely being left in sensitive areas and after just a minute or so you pulled away from the messy kissing to angle yourself better and slam onto Boba.

Your head was thrown back beautifully as you screamed your devotion to him, to his perfect fucking cock that was literally making you drool even while you were split open by it. Boba growled seeing the slick moisture on your lips and he sat up, yanking you close with a strong hand on the back of your neck. His hips met a bounce of yours and you cried out-only to have the noise muffled by a big thumb in your mouth. His other arm was right around you waist, keeping you on him but unmoving.

“That’s my sweet baby...suck on Daddy’s thumb...yeah just like that-fuck.” Even cockdrunk you knew how to work your lover up, sucking on his thumb dutifully and as enthusiastically as you did your favorite appendage of his. You even took his one hand in both your smaller ones to bring the digit further inside and you could swear Boba pulsed so hard inside you you thought he’d finished for a second.

He pushed down on your tongue hard and dragged your jaw with him, and much to your initial chagrin and then immediate arousal, let a long stream of drool pool out and fall where you were connected with him. You moaned at the filth of it and at the complete submissive state you were in. Literally, you were in the palm of Boba Fett’s hand.

Boba groaned and smirked at you, looking at the wet spot and then back at you. “Such a good pet aren’t you? I love it when you get me soaked little one~”

Maker you felt like exploding right then! But he wasn’t done with you, oh no. He pulled his thumb from your obscenely wet mouth, sucked your salvia from it and then rolled, pulling out of you with a wet echoing sound. He easily manhandled you with your hips popped up and grabbed your pillow to bury your face in. He slid back home with no resistance and you moaned freely, your eyes rolling back and your lower lip getting caught between your teeth.

“Mmmmm my sweet little pet...such a good slut for me aren’t you? Always so needy...so ready for Daddy to come home and take care of you...” As he spoke he’d started thrusting into you, gaining in speed. “Fuck...baby, I love you so fucking much, so, fucking, much!”

Now he was straight pummeling you. Your voice was going to be nonexistent when he was through with you if this kept up, your nails digging into your pillow so hard your knuckles were white and you could do nothing but spread your legs wider for him like the slut he’d called you. You were Boba Fett’s personal slut, his little Dove and his soulmate-nothing in the galaxy could be better than this.

As he neared his end he made sure to drag the fat head of his cock along those special spots inside you he knew so well while his mouth bit and sucked on the external spots until your toes curled so tightly he joked that they may never uncurl, the smug bastard. His lips found your neck again in a sweet spot as he bent over you, slamming so deep inside you could taste his precum on your tongue.

“Cum for me baby,” he murmurs, callused thumbs flicking over your nipples before one palm encloses over your throat and squeezes the sides deliciously. “Cum for Daddy little one.”

It was no question, no suggestion, it was a demand. And like the good Little you could be when you wanted, you obeyed. One last scream was ripped from your throat as you were pushed off that ledge into white hot pleasure so perfect it enveloped your whole body. Boba held you as you became tense and then limp, his own release coming not far after yours (not surprising given how hard your insides had been squeezing him) and as always overfilling you in a way you could only describe as obscenely delicious.

“Good job little Dove. I’m so proud.” Came a voice from above and behind you. You knew it was Boba, you knew yet somehow a little voice in your head thought it was the Maker talking to you. Your lips quirked in a little smile as exhausted gasps left your now limp body, only held up by Boba’s hands and his cock that was still pumping cum into you. You felt lips along your neck so lovingly and you sighed contentedly.

“I love you...” you whispered, beginning to fall asleep with him still cradled inside you.

He chuckled softly and kissed the tip of your ear, rubbing your back soothingly before very slowly sliding out of you.

“I love you too baby...go to sleep. I’ve got you.”

It would be hours before you woke, cleaned up and tightly nestled into Boba’s arms as always with the two of you so close it was like you had been born that way. And when you did you squeezed his middle tightly enough for him to softly grunt and then settled back with him, feeling for all the galaxy like you were the luckiest person alive because no one could love you like Boba Fett. And you couldn’t imagine loving anyone else.

So, I sent you (@disgruntledspacedad) a pretty long ask a while ago (back when you had anon on) and I'm decently sure Tumblr ate it (or maybe you ignored it, in which case, feel free to ignore this one as well). But then I saw one of those "writers appreciate feedback no matter how long" posts, so I'm back here. Here is my mediocre attempt to rewrite my original review of your work. Bear in mind that English is not my first language, so if at any point my phrasing sounds weird to you, you know why. Mandatory disclaimer/apology: this might get a little too long 😅

RULES OF ENGAGEMENT

I remember being SO mad at myself for not finding this sooner. I binge read it one afternoon with no thoughts for any real life responsibilities I might have had (and no regrets). Javiears is one hell of an unconventional relationship in the beginning, and I really love what you did with them. The whole premise of your story is quite refreshing, and you somehow manage to convey the trust and mutual respect there two feel for one another without explicitly showing us the beginning of their "entanglement".

Also, fuck you for what you did to poor Emilio, that man was a saint and he deserved better! I honestly can't believe that I got so attached to a character that appeared so little in the story, but it happened, and his death kind of broke my heart.

But the Javiears reunion + mild confession was lovely, and felt completely deserved. And of course the sex scene. I won't lie, I expected a bit better from Javi there, but I did like how utterly /human/ it was. Capturing that humanity, the imperfections in each character is something you're really good at (more on that later).

AFTERSHOCKS

Ah, my emotionally constipated babies who really need to work out their communication issues. I do love them, though. And this short series did a really good job of delving a bit deeper into Ears's and Javi's psyche. Kudos to you for dealing with the medical "aftershocks" of living through an explosion AND using that experience to move your emotional plot forward. These two need to grow a lot before they can get to a stable point in their relationship, and you really manage to convey their insecurity and fear of commitment/intimacy while making it clear that they're in it for the long run and that theirs is a relationship that WILL work out so help them God.

IF I FALL

Ouch. Punch me in the gut while you're at it, why don't you?

But seriously, "If I Fall" is SO FUCKING GOOD. Don't get me wrong, it's angstier than an image of Jesus on the cross (don't judge me, it's Holy Week and I just got home from accompanying my grandma to church), but it somehow works beautifully. You, my dear, play heartstrings like they're a fucking guitar and I AM HERE FOR IT.

You're doing an amazing job at making me feel everything these characters are feeling, which is both awful (bc pain) and impressive.

Also, if anything happens to Ana I will cry, because she is adorable and wonderful and has suffered way too much already and really deserves a break and some cookies.

Also also, if anything happens to Ears I will cry, because she is badass and wonderful and has suffered way too much already and really deserves a break and some cookies.

Also also also, if anything happens to Javi I will cry, because he is loving and wonderful and has suffered way too much already and really deserves a break and some cookies.

Basically, I am really invested in the well-being of these characters and can't wait until they're happy and safe again (please tell me they will be, my heart can't handle much more pain).

A quick note on the angst complaints: yes, this story is way angstier than most other fics out there and it can be a bit too much at times, especially considering how many chapters of pain it's been. BUT it's obvious that "If I Fall" NEEDS this amount of angst to get where it's going, to send the message it wants to and to properly develop its characters. The pain is as important to this story as flour is to bread. You may not like eating flour on its own (I don't think anyone does), but you love bread (because bread is amazing) and you must recognize that bread NEEDS flour to work. It wouldn't be bread otherwise. And eating the flour as part of the bread even makes you like the flour because the bread is just DELICIOUS.

I fully understand and sympathize with the people who have elected to table "If I Fall" until it's completed so they can binge read it knowing there's a happy ending in sight, but in case you're feeling a bit self conscious about all the angst, please know that your story is beautiful not in spite of the pain, but rather /because of it/.

PS: No, I'm not high/drunk, I just really like bread

AUTHOR'S NOTES

Silly thing to comment on, I know, but I do feel like it's important that you know how useful your ANs have been. There are many details in the story that I simply wouldn't fully get without reading your comments at the end of each chapter, and I appreciate your writing a hell of a lot more knowing how deeply you understand and care for each one of your characters. Plus, it is obvious how much work you've put into researching a country and a time period that are (from what I gather) unfamiliar to you, and I really do believe you've done an amazing job of it.

JAVIER PEÑA

My boy. I love your characterization of this complicated character, and I have eagerly read each and every one of your headcanons about him. I can't really say if your version is fully faithful to the source material because it's been a while since I saw Narcos, but your Javi most definitely reads like a real person. He's fairly consistent as a character, and I feel like everything he does is perfectly natural for him to do as a character. He makes for an unconventional yet deeply interesting romantic lead, and so far I have thoroughly enjoyed all his POV chapters/scenes.

OCs

I know you've gotten some flack for making her into an OC halfway into the story, and while I get why the sudden change may have felt like a disappointment for some, I don't share that sentiment. I firmly believe that this fandom is unfairly harsh towards Original Characters and their creators, and I don't really understand why. Listen, I love Reader fics, and consume many Reader fics. I have read dozens, maybe even hundreds, and I can safely say that I've only ever "inserted" myself in approximately 10% of those stories. Reader characters are not as blank as their writers may want them to be. They can't be. They're characters, and character have personalities and moral values and senses of humor and a bunch of other things. Reader characters may not have a backstory or a physical description attached (and even that's not guaranteed), but they're still characters.

And on a more personal note, pretending they're actual blank slates is naive at best and insensitive at worst. Reader characters are American coded 99% of the time, and white coded 95% of the time. Not every readers is white nor American, even if that's the predominant demographic on Tumblr. When I read a JavixReader fic about a woman who speaks exactly zero Spanish, I know she's not me. The story may be beautifully written and have an amazing plot and character development, but the Reader *isn't me*. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, and some of my favorite xReader stories feature a "reader" who couldn't be more different from me, but it's something that enemies of OC fics should take into account. Particularly if they are white and/or American. But I digress.

HANNAH AARONS

Your character is amazing. She's strong, smart, confident, independent and an all-around badass. She gets kidnapped while pregnant and still focuses on problem solving and survival. But she's also overly guarded and mistrustful, and really needs to work on her communication skills. There are times when I absolutely love her and even admire her, and other times when I want to whack her with a slipper. She's no Mary Sue, but remains interesting and likeable throughout the story. She feels wholly human and real, and that's no easy task. I like her, I am invested in her, and I can't wait to see what's next for her. She's a compelling and three dimensional protagonist in a complex story who never fails to draw me in. I love her. She's your baby, and you should be proud of her.

Also, quick question about personality types: I know you've typed Javi as ESFP and Ears as ENTP (100% agree on both, btw), but have you given any thought to their enneagram types? I personally have always seen Ears as being somewhere on the thinking triad, maybe a 7 or even a 6w7, but I'm not too sure about Javi. 9w8 maybe? He could also be a 6w5 🤔

PARTING THOUGHTS

Basically, I love your story, your characters and your writing in general. You are a fantastic storyteller and wordsmith. You get into the heads of incredibly different characters personality-wise (Ears, Javi, Berna...) and manage to capture all of their complexities and quirks every single time. And it doesn't feel like it's something innate for you either. To me, it seems that you have put a lot of work and effort into understanding each and every one of your characters, who they are, why they do what they do and what they want. And let me tell you, all that effort has been more than worth it. "Better Love" is a fanfic, but it wouldn't be out of place in a regular bookstore, if I'm honest. I don't know what you do for a living or if you've ever considered writing professionally, but you clearly have the skills and the drive to create some masterpieces.

You are amazing and your writing is a gift. Thank you for sharing it with us, and have a nice day! ~ 🍪

My friend, I apologize for hoarding your first ask. I’ve been sitting on it because I’m not gonna lie, I enjoy going back and rereading it. It gave me a lot of comfort when I was in a pretty dark place, both personally and in regards to my writing, and I was reluctant to send it out into the the abyss of Tumblr where I might never see it again.

That’s not fair, though. You put just as much effort into sending me that review as I put into my writing, and I apologize for never responding to you.

Okay, anyway, so twice now, you’ve made me cry. In a good way, I promise!

I absolutely love your bread/flour metaphor. It made perfect sense. I want the emotional release of Javi and Hannah’s reunion to be earned, and in order to do that, the angst has to come first (there are also a few plot “ingredients” that have yet to make their appearances). Thank you very much for understanding that, and for voicing it so eloquently.

I appreciate your comments on my research and characterization. You’re correct that I’ve put a lot of time and effort into crafting a universe. In a lot of ways, I’m doing my best to stay true to the source material (regarding culture and timelines in particular), and in others, I’m branching into my own territory.

On that note, I’ve never once regretted fully embracing Hannah Aarons’ identity as an OC. She’s stayed consistent in my mind from the beginning, and it was a relief to finally share my vision of her with the audience. And for the record, I totally agree with you regarding “reader” characters. Every reader insert echoes the perspective of their author, no matter how vague the physical description. I can only imagine how grating that must be from the perspective of a non-white, non-american reader. Thank you so much for sharing your insight! I will certainly keep it in mind the next time I write a “reader insert” fic.

Okay, enneagrams! I am much less familiar with enneagram than I am MBTI, but I agree 110% that Javi is a 9 with a strong 8 wing. I waffled back and forth on Ears a little, but eventually landed on 8w7 for her. It came down to the eight’s deepest fear, which is being controlled. That’s Ears all over, and the fact that she and Javi share that eight willfulness means that they might butt heads a little, which also seems very appropriate for them. Big thanks to @remusstark for her insight into the eight frame of mind - our conversations helped solidify my decision on this. :)

Anyway, I’m just rambling now. The big take-away point that I want you to get is that I am so, so grateful to you, both for your insightful feedback and your dedication in making sure that I actually saw it. You are an absolute gem and a deep thinker, Cookie-Anon, and if you ever feel like sliding into my DM’s, I’d welcome the opportunity to get to know you better.

Mad love and soft hugs,

~ Jay

Thank you for offering to do a matchup for me! 🥺❤️ I’m so excited! Here’s my info: Attack on Titan • men • definitely not a minor (31) • INFP • Gemini • physical touch & quality time (I also appreciate words of affirmation) • my pfp and the banner in my pinned post are pretty accurate & I’m 5’8” • empathetic, creative, introspective • reading, writing, cooking, hiking, yoga, afternoon naps • someone who’s patient, kind, has a good sense of humor (but knows when to be serious), romantic, thoughtful • coffee & bookstore, dinner & drinks (maybe dancing), picnic, drive-in movie

of course! you've been working hard doing everyone else's so i wanted to give you a little extra to show appreciation 💖 it was tough deciding between 3, but in the end, i decided to match you with...

💕 Compatibility 💕

As an INFP Gemini, it’s very easy for you to get lost in your own world once something grabs your curiosity. An intriguing piece of information, or an evocative lyric from a song, you lean into anything that feeds into understanding yourself or inspires your creativity. This is great because it motivates you to create and feel new experiences, though sometimes you go a little too far down the rabbit hole.

Being an ENTJ Libra, Erwin is attracted to intellectual challenges and finds himself in leadership positions quite frequently. People trust him because he’s very deliberate about making decisions, taking in as much information and perspectives as possible before taking action. It’s natural for him to take control and aim for perfection in all that he does, though he can have demanding expectations of both himself and others.

At first glance, it might seem like the two of you are complete opposites, but you do have one thing very much in common: both of you are voracious readers and have books for every subject and mood you entertain. If you’ve both enjoyed the same reading, you could talk about it together for hours, and that’s how you’d find common ground. Your first meeting probably goes something like this:

“Excuse me, I hope you don’t mind me asking…”

You jump a little, absorbed in the book you were reading. It was your lunch break and you decided to check the local bookstore for any new finds. Your eyes slowly rise from the pages to a striking looking man, a respectable distance away with immaculately kept hair. He looked like he was also just from work, in expensive looking slacks and a tastefully patterned navy tie that only made his blue eyes radiate more as he addressed you.

“…how is that so far? Any good?”

Blinking in minor shock that someone so attractive is suddenly talking to you, it takes you a second before you slowly nod, picking up to a more normal speed as you realize he’s asking about a book by your favorite author.

“The opening chapter drops you right in the middle of everything and I haven’t been able to stop reading. It’s amazing so far!” You blush a little when you realize that you’ve probably been loitering in the store a bit. “Definitely buying it to binge read this weekend.”

A polite smile crosses his lips. “That’s bittersweet to hear. She’s my favorite author, but it seems like that’s the last copy in the store.” He checks his watch. “This is the third bookstore I’ve been to and I haven’t been able to find a single copy.” A small sigh escapes as he turns. “Oh well, I’ll just have to wait until someone restocks. Shame, I was looking forward to it.”

“Wait,” You could barely believe what your brain was making your mouth say. “I’m definitely going to read through all of this soon, and maybe if you want, you can borrow my copy when I’m done?”

His eyebrows raise a little in surprise. “You would do that?” The man’s eyes seem to sparkle as you nod, now a bit sheepish in how bold you were. “Then, would you mind telling me your number…?”

Once you spend more time together, your differences will begin to complement each other. Erwin is prone to losing himself in his work, and appreciates how you help him relax and set aside time for himself. He is a bit of a people-pleaser and takes on too much responsibility, but you always find a way to remind him that he’s more than his job. In return, Erwin is an anchor for when you get overwhelmed by things in your daily life or what’s happening in the world at large. He’s always able to figure out the right thing to do or say whenever you’re having an emotional response, and over time learns your tells for when you need some grounding.

💕 The Relationship 💕

Domestic life between the two of you was a bit of an adjustment, but works surprisingly well. Whenever Erwin is working from home, he’s very absorbed on his laptop and his phone is always demanding his attention. Between emails and meetings, he would drink coffee standing up and attempt organizing the bookshelves burgeoning with both of your collections. At first this was a bit anxiety-inducing for you, but after seeing you do some at-home yoga to center yourself, he would stop what he was doing and join you. If he ever spotted you reading a book he’s read (which, admittedly, you’ve done in his line of sight on purpose), he would peek over your shoulder to see where you were at and ask how you were enjoying it. Erwin also had a habit of dozing on the couch come the afternoon, usually when he decided to read a book on a lunch break. After rescuing the book from his body weight, you were more than happy to join him for a cat nap.

But in return, Erwin would make sure to remind you of plans the two of you have made well in advance so you could get in the right headspace for social activities or errands. There was a tendency for you to get lost in whatever you were doing whenever you go any amount of time undisturbed, and he’d gently ease you back into reality with a kiss on your palm and setting down your favorite tea to eventually join him with. You also have a habit of reading twelve books at once, and he dutifully puts bookmarks in open pages and stores them on a shelf he designated for your current rotation.

Making sure that the two of you set everything aside and had quality one-on-one time with each other is central to your relationship. Erwin’s schedule was always aggressively booked and you needed plenty time and space for your own creative work and self-care. You got used to Erwin scheduling alone time for the two of you, no matter how casual (he would literally write “be lazy and watch tv” on your shared calendar), and after a few frustrating interruptions, he’s learned to put his phone away where he can’t reach it, either in another room in the house or in your bag instead of his pocket. But seeing how important his work is to him, and how time-demanding it is makes you feel special when he makes sure you and only you is who he’s paying attention to when you spend time together. The amount of eye-contact he gives you alone would make you feel like the center of his world.

Erwin really likes taking you out on more traditional dates, but always of the highest quality. He’ll read about a new restaurant with good reviews, and if it’s one of the cuisines you enjoy, books reservations immediately and tells you to keep your calendar clear that day. If the two of you don’t have a lot of social plans, and the weather is nice, you’ll tug him away from the computer to do a picnic at your favorite park. He always acts surprised and thankful when you share the sandwiches you’ve made for the both of you, and cleans out the jam you’ve learned to make with pastry that he picked up on the way to the park.

The both of you also enjoy weekend trips out of the city to be in nature, you would pick the spot and he would plan the details. Sometimes he’d book campsites based off things you casually show him, like if you were currently obsessed with waterfalls or a certain aesthetic, just to surprise you. He would do bird watching and plant identification while you took some time for yourself and did some writing out in nature. Between the two of you, you were the more skilled cook, but he insists on helping with prep work and doing the cleaning. You learned Erwin deeply enjoys eating grilled foods under the stars, he would positively beam at you the entire time. Something about being under the night sky with you, fire crackling and moon shining, brings out the extra romantic in Erwin. He was raised to be respectful to his partners, and tries to be a gentleman at all times. Often you’re the one who has to initiate physical touch, but he would respond as if touching you is always on his mind. Maybe it would go something like this:

“Oh look, we even have fireflies tonight!”

As the light fades from the sky, white lights dot the sky and soft yellow ones float around you among the trees. You hear a satisfied hum from Erwin just behind your shoulder, close enough to be heard over the pops from the campfire.

Looking down, you see that your right hand is close to his on the blanket you’re sharing. Your pinky instinctively reaches out to brush his fingers. His palm immediately moves to cover your hand, fingers lacing in between yours. Your gaze returns to the stars and you lean back a little, pressing lightly against his chest. This prompts Erwin to wrap his free arm around your waist and draw you into his lap, where you can feel his chest rise and the breath from his exhales. You can’t help but let out a satisfied sigh, which encourages him to place a slow and light kiss at the nape of your neck. When you move your neck to expose more skin to him, Erwin wastes no time putting his lips on you, as if he’s been thinking of this moment the entire time.

“You’re so beautiful under the stars.”
