5 for the ask game?

5. How do you translate the world of Minecraft to fit into your fanfics when you keep the original setting?

Honestly it's gotten a lot easier since I started reading sci-fi. Shulker boxes and Ender Chests are just little pocket dimensions, or have uncanny physics. Elytra are sci-fi gliders. Redstone is radioactive electricity that isn't put into wires because if the dust clumps up a circuit can't run anymore.

Also, messing with time. A lot of people will read something and go "Yeah, this is believable," when you mess with how much time it takes. You can mine 100 blocks in 5 minutes in minecraft, and technically thats 300 feet, and very hard to do. But if you write "They mined all day," most people will go, "Yeah, someone vaguely magical could dig 300 feet in a day" and immersion stays where it's gotta be to survive.

Also just,,,, not overexplaning things. Characters respawn. You don't gotta know why. You can explain what it feels like, if its pleasant or not, but like, who cares why, really?

Also, making stakes that are worse than death. Respawn makes dying cheap, so making it more expensive by giving the player an important McGuffin [If me and my pet die, I'll respawn but my dog won't!] making respawn very painful [I can't die! I'll be debilitated for the rest of the day!] making things break [I respawn but my mechanical arm doesn't!] making spawn inconvenient [I died and I'm trapped in a cage now!] making not dying very painful [I fell off a cliff and broke my leg! How do I get out of this?].

There's some real schaudenfriede creativity going on there.

For the ask game, 20 and 25? :]

20.Which project have you poured so much of yourself into that it resembles more an original work than a derivative mcyt work?

Oh pffff. That's the problem right? Everything I write is pretty original, all things considered. Mostly the characters are ripped from their natural habitat.

I mean, it's gotta be a tie between Redstone and Skulk and Monsters Splitting Hairs -- though I think if I really had to pick one MSH has the most legs to stand on. Redstone and Skulk is predicated on the idea of an established mirror world. I have tried to think of ways you could organically put that into it's own story, but the initial emotional connection readers have will always be through Tango and Welsknight first. You know just enough about helsmet lore to go "oh look, a niche helsmet idea." Even if that "lore" is just that hels/Helsknight exists, and therefore evil twins exist.

MSH on the other hand, the world is mine, the character backstories are mine, the way everything looks and feels is mine. Places and concepts have been taken [Cub and Scar as vex, Horsehead farms], but the vex don't look like Minecraft vex and HH Farms doesn't work like HH Farms in Hermitcraft did. Most of the personalities are reasonably close to their originals, but Doc is almost straight up an OC at this point, and the more the characters change because of the plot, the more that'll be the case with the characters.

So, yeah, gotta be MSH.

25.What works and/or authors in the fandom do you recommend?

Yeahhhhh lemme go through my bookmarks rq.

TangoTek Evil Incorporated knocked my socks off. Just a really good superhero [supervillain?] au.

The Sky Weighs Heavy Tonight and The Dollhouse by MawoftheMagnetar are pretty dang cool. Maw has a lot of really niche, interesting AUs if you're into content that leans closer to original works than canon.

I'm a really big fan of Bananasofthorns in the form of stars collection of works, about eldritch/godlike attributes the different hermits have. The Etho ones inspired my DoubleLife drabbles for him, if you've read those and liked them.

helsknight's five-step guide to clawing your way out of nonexistence is a very cool little character study by iamsolarflare, and I remember also really liking fixed and dilated as well.

And then I'll just go ahead and link you all of theminecraftbee's works because I've read most of them at least once. I think To Convey a Certain Brilliance is my favorite of theirs.

Unfortunately I don't read a lot of fanfic, so I don't have much more to recommend! Most of what I read are the shortfics that sometimes come across my dash. More often than not I listen to audiobooks these days.

If you have any fics to recommend me, please send them :3 I am a voracious reader with an insatiable appetite.

Hmmmm blazeborn Grian... But rat...

I'VE BEEN SECRETLY HOPING THIS ENTIRE TIME SOMEONE WOULD ASK FOR A NETHER RAT

tiny and nimble, grian is able to hide in the smallest of places and escape the stickiest of situations. this greatly increases his pranking capabilities and he takes full advantage of it.
