“He thinks I have stigmata,” Frank said, because what the fucking hell, it couldn’t get any worse. He might as well just lay it out.

“Oh, well,” said Brian into his hands. “Of course.”

A piece I did right after reading Unholyverse by Bexless. It's an absolutely brilliant fic where Frank starts to develop stigmata and needs help. That comes in the form of Mikey's brother Gerard who is not only hot, but a Priest. It's wonderfully written and the religious discussions (okay arguments as Frank isn’t having it) are fascinating, and I say that as an Atheist. But most of all it's the delicious slow burn, hurt/comfort and pinning that develops over the series that dragged me in. To me those are my Kryptonite.

12. 20. 26. 31. 69. Of the new one please :)

Fanfiction Writing Asks

Thank you! :3

12. Do you outline your fics?  If yes, how detailed are your outlines?  How far do you stray from them?

I outline multichapter fics, because if I don’t, then I the plot suffers.

My outlines aren’t very detailed, though. Usually they’re just bullet points with some rough ideas for scenes/dialogue. Sometimes I even put memes in there.

The bullet point for the Unholyverse version of Dad Beat Dad currently just says, ‘Play dumb Lucifer; Not that dumb!’

Meanwhile, in the outline of my current WoE WIP, A Far Cry From Eden, we have the juxtaposition of me describing Eve’s first impression of each of the Seven Deadly Sins in a decent amount of detail, vs a chapter that was described as:

Totally not projecting my own sapphic experiences and/or fantasies onto Eve, there. No, never. (I’m gay and they’re both so pretty, I can’t help it!)

I do occasionally stray from my outlines, but that’s part of the beauty of making them so vague. I can usually adjust them as I go.

When I was working on Bloodlust and Butterflies, I had quite a few secondary bullet points that got dropped – although I’ll be revisiting the ideas later in other UH3 works – and one that got moved to a different chapter.

I need a plan for my multichapter fics. The plan is subject to change, but it’s still a plan.

20. Do you prefer writing AUs or canon fics?

I feel like between the Unholyverse, the Little Demon AU, and my miscellaneous, canon-divergent Geraskefer fics, I should be legally required to answer this with AU, but canon has been looking kinda good lately.

3/5 of my current Ace Alastor Week WIPs have been canon-compliant. And it was kinda fun to work directly within the frame of canon. Like a little obstacle course for me to run. Enrichment.

I don’t think I’ll be switching to a steady stream of canon-compliant fics any time in the near future, but it’s been nice to explore.

26. What’s your least favorite part of the writing process?

Whichever part I happen to get stuck on when my executive dysfunction flares up. Or my psychosis.

If I had a consistently effective treatment for my ADHD and psychosis that didn’t give me terrible side effects, my life would improve sooo much.

Other than that, I don’t have a consistent part of writing that bothers me. Certain subject matter trips me up, and I get writer’s block from time to time just like everyone else, but there’s no part of my writing process that I’d call my least favorite.

31. Do you use a beta reader/editor?

I do! Specifically a beta reader. I edit my own work based on his suggestions. My lovely boyfriend, who now has a tumblr: @giggypoet .

69. What are your favorite fics at the moment?

Obligatory nice.

My favorite fics at the moment are (in no particular order) Death to Death by @moonrose91 , the entire 66.6 Live On Air! series by @prince-liest , and Means to an End by @iirationall .

[awsugar]

I can ask a random frerard question! lol all evening I’ve been pondering if unholyverse will be the next fic-binding project I work on and thinking about what it would look like… so as someone else who has read the fic frequently I will poll you if you wanna answer - what images do you associate with the fic? (I have rosaries so far on my list bc obvious lol)

ive actually known multiple people who made physical copies of unholyverse so i feel like im a bad person to answer this because i don't want my answer to be influenced by things that people have already done you know....

but like at the same time, i think the series has some very obvious imagery, rosaries being obvious for sure. i think of those iconic like statues/paintings of mary with the pearlescent tears and anguished face, due to franks marian devotion. the seraph obviously.

and also one of the official art pieces for unholyverse is an image of frank and gerard with the red string of fate all tangled between their hands and i looooove that so i think that, since its bexless approved, is also cool

augh it really. REALLLYYYYY. hurts me

and then you know obvious things like priest collar, blood tbh, crown of thorns. and then like aside from religious imagery theyre sooooooooooo in love!!!!!!!!! so idk what imagery could represent that but its really important to me....

i GOTTA make unholyverse into a movie series ISTGGGG

OH MY GOD I THINK I KNOW HOW HES GOING TO DIE

#NOOOOOOOOOOOOO #I be reading unholyverse 2 #I be reading the unholyverse series #live blogging a fic #fuck! fuck! fuck! #emo brainrot

[d3ad-on-arriva1]

where can i read uhv? i've been curious about it and it seems interesting

AO3 YOU CAN READ IT HEREE

OR LISTEN TO IT PODFICCED HERE

AND

HERE. BOTH R UNFINISHED BUT YPU CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO LISTEN TO THE FULL SERIES FROM IT

[gerardpilled]

Okay listen I'm new and I'm dumb but what the fuck is the Unholyverse? Is it like the mcr version of My Immortal? Is it a fic? One of those weird aus that someone started and it caught on?? What is it!!! I'm missing out on so many jokes!!!!!

Unholyverse is a fic series originally posted by bexless on LiveJournal in 2008 with the first part being for a “Bandom big bang”. The first part is a loose retelling of the movie “Stigmata” (1999) and features Frank manifesting the wounds of Christ. Gerard is a catholic priest. The story then diverges after that part in ways I don’t remember. It’s not considered a bad fic like My Immortal at all, in fact it’s considered one of the best mcr fics. I don’t like it personally but I do agree that compared to most other mcr fic (generally not a “good fic” fandom imo) the first part is alright. You can read it on ao3 now. As to why it’s been so impactful… I’m not sure if there’s a single thing you could point to!

[squarebracketsmileyface]

Sorry, it's locked has ruined me /pos. so pos.

MWAHAHAHHA I'm so glad. This fic has also ruined me. It's like all I ever think about anymore /hj

It's just so special for me and I have SO many plans for it. My boyfriend told me it's like half the length of unholyverse (another fic series which is like 250k words I think?) and with the rate I'm going and how many fics I have planned for the sorry it's locked series (one of which is looking more and more like it might end up a multi chapter, because I keep thinking of new things for it) it might end up being longer than unholyverse 💀 which would be cool. But would also mean I truly have lost my mind
