fic author self rec
tagged by @bg-sparrow!! thank you :D
also this was like FOREVER ago and then i forgot about it so apologies for the delay hfdjsfgdhjfasj
share five favorites of your own work, then tag five fic authors to do the same - okay, let's go
Until Get Home
When the train plot goes horribly wrong, Marty McFly and Doc Brown are stranded in 1885. How will they manage to adapt to a time so foreign to their own? Will they be able to preserve the space-time-continuum? And, most importantly: How will their adventures in the past impact their relationship?
you know this HAD to be the number one. i cannot pour my life and soul into a 100K word fanfic and not have it be my number one LMAO. but seriously, this fanfic means a lot to me. it helped me get through my first months in a foreign country, connected me with awesome friends and had me gain a massive appreciation for bttf part 3 (i love that part even more than i already have and watching it reminds me of this fic). i am also proud that this story carries some valuable messages and developes doc and marty even more. it was wonderful writing this, and it's also my first major story i finished. this is a love letter to bttf and bttf 3 in particular in form of a...well, book.
2. Most People Were Silent
Marty McFly had been stranded in the 1940s for a year, living with the younger version of his best friend, Emmett Brown. When Doc unexpectedly gets invited to join a secret scientific project, Marty and Emmett move to a small town in New Mexico. After meeting various new people and making his own acquaintaces while Doc works, Marty learns how vital it is to stay quiet - for the sake of everyone's safety. But not everyone has the same view...
is it wrong to put a not-yet-finished work on this list? maybe, but i, quite frankly, do not care because i adore this story. it had me come up with silly little ocs and throws me into a setting that interests me (i am a major history nerd and a way to connect it with my favorite character? YES PLEASE). and just wait until you see what happens next - you will definitely get why this is on second place >:)
on a side note, this universe is getting an expansion and becoming a trilogy, which i have titled "the trinity trilogy". writing this will kill me but i am so ready
3. In The Shadow Of The Mushroom Cloud
this fic doesnt have a summary, but it's my part of the "Stuck Through Time(lines)" - collab project we did in the discord server! once again a manhattan project doc fic with a different basic concept than my main one. this one was SO fun to write. i poured out those 12k words in like five days. i want that kind of motivation back, please. also i get to do what bob gale only dreams of and blow up the delorean
please also read the other contributions to this challenge!! all of the authors are so talented and i love their work :D
4. Winter of '84
Doc takes Marty to the doctor when Marty comes down with the flu.
i love me a good bttf prequel fic, and sickfic is one of my favorite tropes, so i was super shocked when i found out that the bttf fandom had like. zero of those. before winter of '84, there was november, but that's a post-trilogy fic, so it doesn't count lol. i'm proud of this one because it's just a cute piece of slice of life fluff, and i think it captures doc and marty's friendship super well.
5. Double Visions
Marty and Doc return from 1931, but Doc doesn't know half of the story.
a bttf: the game fic holy shit
i had wanted to write something of this kind ever since i first played the game in february 2021. as you can see, it only took me like, two years, but i did it! and i think it's great in the way that it covers everything i had in mind for this scene while not stretching itself. i loved writing the dialogue and emotional stuff for this story and like rereading it occasionally :)
i would like to tag...everyone who hasn't been tagged before. i have lost track.
thanks for the ask bg!!

Free Field: Is there anything you would like to see less of?
if you are in a player tag and see this please scroll past, i’m sorry
Please read this in conjunction with the rest of the results.
With this sort of stuff, its hard to keep track of it all— I don’t like putting in all the raw answers, because some of it feels quite personal (inwardly by the answerer, not directly at writers) and it’s not my place to share it even if it’s anonymous.
Other answers are just… so off the wall.
Tumblr media
Pregnancy – 18 individual people
Unsurprising that this came up a few times—I’ll put some of the more in depths reasons/extrapolations below, but I do remember this being something that came up last time and since 2021 I think the pregnancy output has increased considerably.
Being unable to get pregnant
Unplanned pregnancy being overused
Tokophobia, please at least use warnings/summaries
In general, but especially with younger players (came up a couple times!)
Personal reasons contributing to dislike of the trope
Tumblr media
Kids/Babies – 13 people
I think this is a predictable second result given the first
Likes to see relationships blossom, so doesn’t feel as connected to pre-existing relationships & family life fics
Tokophobia, please at least use warnings/summaries
In general, but especially with younger players (came up a couple times!)
Tumblr media
Enemies to Lovers – 6 people
2 people specified this combined with “There’s Only One Bed”
Tumblr media
College Players / Minors Players – 5 people
My favourite point about this: “They didn’t sign up for a life of celebrity and fanfic, they just are attending school.”
Tumblr media
Smut-Related - 5 People
Not being under a read more
Rough smut (i.e. rough BDSM) because consent isn’t covered enough
Every fic being absolutely filthy smut (lovemaking would be nice)
Tumblr media
Miscommunication – 4 people
Let the characters talk to each other!
Tumblr media
Familial Relationship – 4 people
Whether it’s being related to a player or a coach.
Tumblr media
Cheating – 4 People
Tumblr media
Younger NHL Players – 4 people
Some of us are old and need to read about players closer to our ages, you know?
Tumblr media
Angst – 3 People
Especially when fewer than 3k words, doesn’t feel like it can be resolved so quickly
Tumblr media
Specific Players – 3 people
Trevor Zegras (x2)
Mat Barzal
Jack Hughes
Quinn Hughes
Tumblr media
Insta Edits – 2 People
Being passed off as reader insert when the large majority of the ‘reader inserts’ are blonde white women. Just make them OCs.
Tumblr media
Abusive Relationships / Violence – 2 People
Tumblr media
The following were said by 1 person
Age Differences
Avs Players
Best Friends To Lovers
Canes Players
Co-workers
Exes To Lovers
Famous MC
First Person
Fluff
Grumpy/Sunshine
Headcanons
Marriage as the end goal
Neighbours to Lovers
No Read More Breaks
Putting Fic in the Player Tag
Y/N being used
Tumblr media
Less obviously blonde perfect wag readers lol
Fics that make the players seem dumb - they aren't generally.
I would like to see a little less of the same tropes for the same players being used consistently. I think there's a stagnation issue in the fic community, and a little creativity could go a long way. I realize this is difficult, and I'm guilty of it too, but I'm challenging myself to do things differently this year :)

Thought I will make a post of my favorite pieces I made that are related to my comic “The Dark Times” from Webtoons. From March of 2021 to May of 2022. I’m glad I listened to people that said “don’t wait until you’re perfect, just start your story”, because otherwise my perfectionism would’ve prevented me from even daring to do it. Best to start with a plan, because, as I have a story planned out, season by season, I don’t have to worry about getting stuck somewhere badly and not knowing where the story would go. It’s very challenging, of course, but I’m trying to remind myself that I’m only doing it for fun and because I want to make this story. Not to impress people or make a perfect one, but just to have fun and do things with my OCs. It doesn’t matter that there are themes or tropes that have been used numerous times before - the goal is not to make something super unique, but rather to make something I love, and if someone else happens to love it, it’s only a good bonus (I mean, I look up stories and fanfics with the same themes, and if I love something, I want to see more of it, so really, worrying about not making story unique enough or using tropes that were used before is not right). Thanks to the work on the comic, I was able to experiment with shading and color reflexes, with different brushes, and I can tell that I’m certainly drawing faster than before. Also it was interesting to see Ren’s look change as well, tilting much more towards masculine now. In other words, a lot of things, like art style and certain art skills will develop and get better as you work, so while the first episodes (and majority of the first season) were a bit clumsy at times, I’m doing things a bit differently in second season and loving the result, and they look much better.
Things are a bit slow right now, because I have some preparations to make for the next few episodes, and I haven’t had that much energy lately. Frankly, I’m quite exhausted mentally and physically and just hope I can get a small vacation, because really, it was a lot. Still, I’m very excited to continue working on the next episode, I just need to recharge a bit. Anyway, thank you for sticking with me, it is much appreciated.

Remembered this ocs in dresses lineup i did in early 2021 and felt like sharing it
Left to right: Velyr, Moxie, Mal, Vinny, Aki, Ezief
Ads also talking about this particular species view on gender roles yay!
They’re called tawyras, a fantasy species i made up that is very dragon like. I could talk about them all day but let’s just focus on this one little aspect for now.
As for gender roles in clothing, tldr: they don’t have them, they actually don’t have any gender roles in the first place.
I’ve personally gave a lot of thought to the topic in real life too, things like how clothes are percieved and assigned gender based on nothing but ‘brain washing’. A skirt isn’t female, a tie isn’t male etc., these are all just things that society made us believe.
society....
Naturally my way of viewing the problem seeps into the way these things would affect a fantasy culture. I personally find no enjoyment in a woman succeding in a society by overcoming some sort of arbitrary difficulties that come with her womanhood, to me it feels rather bland and i rarely get interested in such storylines.
It would only make sense that I’d completely avoid this trope any chance I get, and the tawyras are the epitome of that. Nothing is gendered, they have the concepts of feminine and masculine but as ways of expressing oneself rather than based on what sort of category you were born into. Neither is viewed as lesser or superior in any aspect, they are equal. 
This also means that assuming gender upon first sight, as is common in our society, is never done, and is considered very rude. Every tawyra goes by they/them pronouns automatically, and it is up to personal decision of one wants to disclose any other ones. In their language, called tawra (that I have not even started making yes), the choice of pronouns is way higher than in english. I got inspired by how japannesse pronouns work (esp ‘I’ and what the version they use can say about a character)
All in all in their society gender does not matter unless it comes to procreation, which is just about the only biological part where it does matter. Other than that they are fantasy part dragon species so there are no strength differeces between males and females that would be significant
And of course that would mean that wearing a dress would not be seen as an issue at all for any of them, societally at least. On a personal level some might have some trouble with it.
Which brings me to talking about how the ocs pictures would feel about having to wear what they’re wearing in the first place(ltr): Velyr would be furious, but only because that’s the way he always is. He may not wear dresses often but that’s moreso based on his lack of interest in self care and just wearing the same clothes over and over again. He’s nothing against the piece of clothing other than he’s not normally seen wearing it. I actually imagine that if Velyr were to ever go on some prestigous party/ball he’s most likely choose a dress, with his ‘dreamie’ being one of those sorta mid lenght narrow black sparkly ones (gotta draw him in it one day) Moxie’s main outfit is a dress, he wears dresses most of the time anyway and he’s happily wear this around everyday. He’s that sort of person who’s capable of immediatly forgetting what he’s wearing and just vibing, so he could be wearing the most ridiculous shit and be completely fine
While Mal would not be one to wear a dress every day he’s definitely put it on for the occasion, and bro he’d slay. No one would be able to hear the end of how good Mal thinks he looks in the dress, not because he’s completely self centred (well maybe a little) but also because he’d really feel pretty in it.  Vinny is once again someone who can put on anything and be confident, but to the extreme to where he could just be naked and walk out anyway. Naturally a dress would be no challenge for this phlegmatic.  Aki is one to wear dresses quite often, but more of that long cottage core vibe yknow. The one he’s wearing in the picture would most definitely be far from his comfort zone. And since he’s someone who constantly thinks about how he’s percieved he would not have the best time if he were to wear it.
Ezief has definitely worn dresses before, as a part of the aristocracy they basically have to be in his selection of clothes. Though unlike Moxie or Vinny he has standarts, and would only wear ones that make him look professional. Naturally the one I drew him in doesn’t do that, but Ezi is always one to react to the situation as best as he can.
Vinny is such a Moxie and Velyr lovechild btw istg

“You’re in love with him, and he’s in love with you. And it’s like a goddamn tragedy, because you look at him and you see the stars, and he looks at you and sees the moon. But you both think the other is just looking at the ground.”
Dean Winchester and Izabella Hayes has already lost each other once because of their feelings, and they weren’t going to risk their friendship again just because of that.

I Don’t Want to Ruin Our Friendship | Feb 3
Ok Feb 3 prompt for the OC Trope Challenge by @ocfairygodmother​
Pairing: Kudra/Maul
Word Count: 643
Tags/Warnings: More fluff, master/apprentice relationship (they’re like the same age though), mentions of sex (this takes place right after they first boned on Mustafar lol), sappiness, OC is awkward after boning her Sith Master for the first time  -_- once again don’t read if you don’t like fluff about Maul
Tumblr media
[gif not mine]
Kudra woke in her small bed sweating profusely. She pushed the covers off and felt a soreness she hadn’t felt in quite some time. Oh no. The memory flooded back to her, of making love to the Sith Lord on the temple floor last night. 
Her eyes filled up with tears at how she had ruined the dynamic between them. What was she even thinking? She NEVER slept with people she worked with or for. Albeit, this was a different working relationship than she was used to, but it still felt like it was better left professional.
He was different though, she had to admit. Not only physically, I mean give me a break he’s the hottest person she’d ever seen in her life, but just everything about him mesmerized her. His smell, the sound of his voice, his mysteriousness, the crinkle of his nose, his fiery passion. Well, this wasn’t helping she realized. She shook her head in an attempt to break away from the  lustful thoughts.
She shot out of bed and stripped down to take a shower. The water was hot, almost scalding, the way she liked it. It left her skin dry and itchy if she stood in there for too long, but at the moment it was bliss.
A knock at the door.
“Just a minute,” she yelled while jumping out of the shower, grabbed a towel, and rushed towards the door. No use in letting the Sith Lord wait. She wrapped the towel around herself and answered the door.
Maul was at the other end, of course, who else would it be on this deserted mine shaft. His eyes grew big as he stared down at her still dripping wet figure covered by the small white towel.
Her mind was elsewhere. Thinking about how to fix what happened last night. Somehow her being almost nude didn’t quite cross her mind as being unprofessional. She was so worried about making him wait, she didn’t even think about what she wasn’t wearing and that water was dripping off her.
“Yes, master?”
“I…” His eyes looked past her, not wanting to look anywhere inappropriate. She looked behind her to see what he was looking at and then looked down at herself, covered in a tiny sopping wet towel only.
“Oh my. KRIFF! I’m sorry. I’m… I wasn’t thinking… I didn’t want to make you wait.” She scrambled to find her robes to cover herself up and in the process revealing even more skin as she fumbled around.
The Dark Lord of the Sith looked around the room as she revealed nearly all of herself to him in an attempt to look, but not look. It wasn’t working. For either of them.
Kudra eventually found her robes to wrap fully around her body. The damage had been done and both of them were quite embarrassed even if some may not like to admit it more than others.
“I just wanted to make sure you were ok, after last night…” Maul trailed off uncharacteristically. 
“Yeah. I wanted to talk to you about that too.” Kudra looked down, too ashamed to look into his glowing amber eyes. “I should not have done that. I-I- I’m sorry.” She gulped down a mere fraction of her shame.
“Oh.” He reached out to her with a gloved hand, holding her at the waist. “And why shouldn’t you have?”
“You’re...you know… my Sith Master. We should keep things professional. We have to work together and it’s ...I complicated things by doing that. And yes I realize you could have turned me down if it really bothered you, but I ... I shouldn’t have even put us in that-”
The hand not holding her waist reached up to place a gloved finger at her lips to shush her.
“You know so little of the ways of the Sith.”
