hi :)

just came across „questions for fic writers“ and I’m loving the questions! I really have to pace myself here: would love to read your answers to 1, 3, 7, 10.

(was this post a sign to read the bamf!elena fic of yours I’ve bookmarked forever ago & still love the premise of 🤔)

(I mean if you want read it I would not at all oppose it 😁 (I really am proud of my angry bamf!elena fic, it's ongoing but fuck if I haven't ended up stuffing it full of all my TVD issues and how I'd like to fix them (the story actually also includes caroline's road to healing, bamf!bonnie, revenge against the salvatores, elejah with pining, bit of klaroline, rebekah getting friends and perhaps moooore *cough*bonnie*cough*)).

But as for the actual questions.

1. What fic of yours would you recommend to someone who had never read any of your work? (In other words, what do you think is the best introduction to your fics?)

Well that obviously depends on what kind of fandoms a particular person enjoys but... I guess as something that would work as an introduction to my writing style and figuring out if it's something that is to the reader's taste? It should probably be one of my 5+1 type fics.

Because they're longer you'd get a proper read but because it's basically a small series of related short scenes you'd also see if you'd be interested in my shorter one shots (I have wayyy more fics that are 300 to 1500 words than the longer stories).

But to narrow it down to one story.

5 Times The Doctor Talked About River Song With Graham (+1 Time The Fam Finally Met Her)

The title is pretty self-explanatory I think. But basically Graham finds the Doctor's wedding ring and it opens up the way for the Doctor to actually talk about her wife.

And the fic contains both angst and fluff (both of which I tend to juggle on equal basis), grief and some bonding between two widowed people. And outsider POV on the romance (also something I've done a few times).

3. What are some tropes or details that you think are very characteristic of your fics?

Oh boy. I think I tend to write with a very deep focus into the emotional and mental space of the character. I tend to focus a lot on describing how a character feels during the scene.

Okay, so as an example from that bamf!elena fic.

One thing, one thing. Just one thing, so that she could take another breath and not have it scorch her lungs to ash.

It was like trying to build a sandcastle during high tide. She didn’t have anything to use that wouldn’t wash her away spinning into the next wave of awful flashbacks.

Nothing. Nothing except-

She’d been free. Freed from a conscience she couldn’t afford to give up again. Free from the grief she’d never actually wanted to abandon, not until the choice was taken from her. But also free from the two brothers that had been taking choices away from her from the moment they’d come to town.

And she didn’t want to give that freedom up. She wouldn’t. Not ever again.

She gasped in a deep, cleansing breath free of pain, - just one moment of utter clarity - and moved before either Stefan or Damon expected it. One of them too intent on coaching her through her returning humanity, the other with his arms holding her in place and his head within easy reach, neither of them saw her coming before it was too late and they’d already joined her first boyfriend on the ground with their necks in the same state as his.

Then she staggered in place. Feeling the starvation that had been inflicted on her these past few weeks as the Salvatore brothers tried to get their Elena back.

Her eyes strayed toward Damon again without her consent and she felt a moment of reignited terror at the tug within her, the encroaching pull to not hurt him. She could still feel it. Weaker than she remembered, frayed copper wire instead of hard steel cuffs, but still there. The sire bond wasn’t gone. Not entirely.

“No,” she choked out and after only a momentary stop to take back her ring, was running toward the one place that might hold the information that could sever that last piece of chain. Because she couldn’t live with it in place, she’d rather go back to burning alive.

Other than this focus on the inner dialogue of the character from whose point I'm writing.

I write a lot of pining. A lot of angst that's mixed with comedy. And fluff that's mixed with comedy. And fluff that's mixed with angst.

Also. I guess I have a particular weakness for fix-it fics maybe? And I think my best stories are probably the ones that involve at least some gen elements that twine through the romance stuff.

7. Any worldbuilding you’re particularly proud of?

Well, I mostly tend to write canon universe/canon divergence stories which don't include all that much world building on my part. But there is one AU fic I'm rather proud of.

Royal Marriage Agreements and Cursed Princesses and Dragons Oh My!

It's my 'feminist fairy tale Clizzy with a touch of Malec' fic. Where Izzy's a princess who's supposed to marry against her wishes and instead goes 'fuck that' to go wake up the cursed to sleep princess and get out of it. I enjoyed coming up with some fun world stuff for that one (Magnus is the dragon btw).

10. How do you decide what to write?

Hell if I know.

My writing habits are made out of pure chaos. But stuff usually starts out with a concept or a scene.

Stuff like: what if Elena's sire bond didn't get broken but she wants it gone and what if Elena actually found out what Damon did to Caroline?; what if Henry found the ring before Hook could propose and stole it to buy his moms some time to figure their stuff out because clearly Emma and his mom are in love?; what if Kate got badly injured and Alice brought her to Mary still dressed as Batwoman? (I wrote this before Mary found out in canon); what if I go through six seasons worth of times Bellamy tried to stop being in love with Clarke while failing miserably and then gave them their freaking happy ending?; what if I tear out my own heart by writing through Monica's POV all the times she and her mom talked about Auntie Carol and what if I also add some matchmaking parent trap at the end there?

After that. There's one of two ways it could go. Either I come up with the dialogue and then add the inner monologue and description of scene around that OR I do the inner voice first and then build the dialogue around that.

And then I forget everything I ever knew about writing until new 'what if' arises and I write and rewrite stuff till out comes something I don't entirely hate.

Yes, 12 is my favourite doctor. Yes, river song is my favourite doctor’s love interest. Yes, ‘the husbands of river song’ is one of my favourite episodes of doctor who. I still think it would’ve been 10x better if the doctor in that episode was 13.

We could’ve had it all </3

i wrote a heartbreak high fic lmao!! it's called daisy's drop (do you think you feel the same?) and wouldn't you know it it's a cash/darren fic

featuring:

cash and darren communication power hour

lots and lots and lots of unpacking consent issues that come with miscommunication in an allo/sex averse ace relationship (clue: it's communication. there is so much communication happening here)

carpool karaoke

darren discovers emotional vulnerability TM

cash discovers that being in love doesn't have to be miserable if you can love yourself enough to communicate your boundaries TM

darude the duck

i get to use aussie slang in a fic for once

I think one of my favorite doctor who ships by far (other than thoschei and all its variations) is the thirteenth doctor x any one of the doctors' previous female companions/lovers. I'm thinking in more of a romantic sense (for example her and river together would be such a power duo) but also the image of donna running around after the doctor because her younger brother is now her sister and she's just as chaotic as before if not more so is hilarious to me

#imagine 13 having one of her interactions with dhawan! master #and meanwhile donna's just in the background yelling at her to kick his ass lmao #doctor who #13th doctor #thirteenth doctor #thirteen x river #thirteen x rose #thirteen x clara #donna noble #mosses random thoughts

9. What’s your favorite line(s) or scene(s) that you have written?

Okay, I do have a few. Let's see. Spoilers for the contents of my fics I guess (no one cares, but I thought I should mention it).

From She's Come Undone and Set Free:

I really loved writing Elena's rage and thirst to make Damon pay for hurting Caroline okay?

“No,” Elena said, voice sharp as the daggers she had driven through the chests of more than one Mikaelson, sharp enough it would cut the eldest Salvatore in half. “I’m not letting him get away with it that easy, he’s going to live, because I’m going to make him regret the day he decided to touch either one of us.”

She turned around and locked eyes with Rebekah to make one final point, “So we will go to New Orleans, I will break my sire bond to Damon, but you will tell Elijah nothing about this, you will tell Klaus nothing about this. He’s ours.”

Another scene I really liked was Caroline grappling with the trauma that has been pushed to the surface because someone else knows now.

She tried to anchor herself to the present. Damon would never touch her again, she wasn’t the weak little Caroline who fell for the first set of pretty eyes that showed interest. The human girl, who didn’t know anything about anything and couldn’t protect herself.

She was badass vampire Caroline Forbes and none of this could ever break her.

Most days she believed it, today it took all of her strength not to shrivel into that powerless girl she'd once been not that long ago at all.

And Caroline getting to actually finally truly make Damon pay for what he'd done to her.

So she grabbed blindly for something, anything that would make him pay for all the things he’d stolen from her, all the things she’d had to fight tooth and nail to get back. Like her ability to trust. Like not flinching when she kissed Matt, and then Tyler, and then- well, whoever it was she decided she wanted to kiss. Like smiling and meaning it. Her hand found something sharp and pointy and feeling a sickly sort of exhilaration she stabbed it into his lower abdomen.

A long-carried impulse she didn't have to suppress anymore.

It didn’t make her feel better to hear his half-smothered scream, not really, nothing could ever make it better. But it did give her a moment of something like calm.

It was good enough.

And then there's me just being a shallow romantic but I really enjoyed writing the Elejah tension here. I think I did good 😏

She raised her head to look Elijah in the eye and couldn't help taking note of the familiarity of the angle of her raised chin. His eyes darkened before he flicked them away in something like self-preservation.

From 5 Times The Doctor Talked About River Song With Graham (+1 Time The Fam Finally Met Her)

Letting Thirteen drop her always cheerful and hopeful mask because Graham's question stings? I'm proud of the little moment.

“Did you ever try to-”

“What? Change it? Save her? Go back and make sure she never died there? Take her place?” She glares at him and for a fraction of a moment she looks her age, millennia old and furious and terrifying beyond reason, and for that one moment Graham is almost scared of her. And then she blinks, her gaze losing it’s terrible intensity, and he’s not even sure that he didn’t imagine it. “She would never have forgiven me. And- and her timeline is complicated, even if I tried to- there’s a very good chance if I did it that I’d be erasing her from the universe entirely.”

---------

From 5 Times Monica and Her Mom Have Difficult Conversations About Auntie Carol (+1 Time She Plans A Parent Trap With Her Skrull Friend)

Another case of the romantic in me making me love a scene I've written. Plus I love the wisdom of kids, where they make complicated things simple.

“You’re supposed to say it back.” Monica says, losing her patience. It’s been happening for months now, this weird thing where they almost say something and then never actually do.

“We’ve talked about this, Monica.” Mom says, placing her stack of dishes in the sink and then taking the ones from Monica.

“No. you said that Auntie Carol had to figure it out on her own. I think she’s figured it out.” Monica says back and then, perhaps rather unwisely, actually says the thing that’s been hiding in her mind for a while now. “I think you’re just scared.” 

---------

From One Ring to Ruin It All (Not On Henry's Watch)

If I got a nickel for every time I wrote a fic about a precocious kid trying to make their moms stop being stupid and admit that they love each other already I'd have two nickels but it's weird that I did it twice.

Anyway, I loved writing this moment for Henry.

 “I know you love her, Mom. Really love her. And you need to tell her because- because you don’t have time to wait anymore.”

And then he pushed his hand into his pocket and pulled out the little silver ring with a diamond centerpiece. It would actually be kind of pretty if its sight didn’t pull his insides into a knot.

“What-”

“I found it in Hook’s coat,”
