THINGS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT MY FELLOW WRITERS

I was tagged by @lemonsrosesandlavender, thank you so much!! These are always fun <3

Tagging: @aevallare, @eluvisen, @aceghosts, @storyknitter, @starknstarwars and @my-favourite-zhent

Last book I read:

The last book I finished was "The Hobbit" by J.R.R. Tolkien but that was like last year lmao Currently, my reading list has "The Time of Contempt" by Andrzej Sapkowski (i'm about 1/3 of the way through it I think) and I might attempt to start the Dune series if I get brave enough.

Greatest literary inspiration:

Sylvia Plath and J.R.R. Tolkien are pretty important to me as far as writing goes. And Jeaniene Frost. They are all different in their styles and writing but each have their importance to fiction.

Things in my current fandom I want to read but I don't want to write:

More tiefling refugee fics! I don't have a preference on which ones because I love them all! Bex, Danis, Lakrissa, Alfira, Ikaron, Guex etc all deserve as much love and attention as Rolan, Dammon, and Zevlor imo. I mean, I WILL probably write more for them eventually, but I'd like to be able to read more about them in general.

Things in my current fandoms I want to write but I think nobody would be interested in them but me:

Me and maybe a handful of people maybe, but I'd like to write more about the Zhentarim prior to the events of BG3. Mainly focused on my former Zhent and Rugan, but there are some relationships I'd like to explore more and some characters like Zarys and Roah.

You can recognise my writing by:

Descriptive emotion, angst, pining, hurt/comfort. I love writing self reflection for a character as well as characters taking in the things around them: scents, sounds, people, etc.

My most controversial take ( current fandom):

I not a fan of x reader fics. Idk why they got to be so popular but I'd rather read about people's OCs! I've read a few x reader in the last few months and they can be done well, but I think it's a POV thing for me. I don't like being the one put in the situations.

Current writing mood (10 – super motivated and churning out words like crazy, 0 – in a complete rut):

Uhhh anywhere from a 0 to a 3, depends on what part of the day we're at. It's been a struggle for the last few months. I did write a little bit for Round Rugan with my friends in the Zhent Discord Server, but personally, it's been tough. I'm hoping I got a breakthrough on my cat!Juni fic though, so fingers crossed.

Top three favourite tropes:

Hmmm that's a tough question. If we're going by favorite tropes to write, I'd say hurt/comfort. I always need hurt with the comfort, even if it's held off for a bit. Some good ole mutual pining. It's always requited even if a character doesn't realize it. There needs to be a resolution to it though. And found family. I am a sucker for found family always.

Share a random frustration:

Fandom. Just... fandom.

WIP Wednesday

Is Wednesday almost over already? Here is some Rolan, cat!Juni and Karlach from my current WIP

Rubbing the spot between his eyes with his thumb, he tried to focus his mind to the rest of his task. There was a letter to Elminster to draft a reply to, as well as an invitation to some patriar’s party in a month that he truly didn’t want to attend. Preoccupied with his thoughts, Rolan turned back to his desk only to find Juniper sitting on his chair… in her cat form. She blinked up at him, face stoic in the silence, tension stretching between them. When the hells did she get home? And why was she a cat again? It took his brain a moment to catch up with his chaotic thoughts and he opened his mouth to speak, unsure of what exactly it was he planned on saying. But something needed to be said because it was getting out of hand. Juniper was truly the most frustrating woman he’d ever known, and it was true, he adored her in ways he’d never felt before, but her wild magic was becoming an issue. “Juniper, perhaps it’s time to-” “How’s it goin’, soldier?” A booming voice echoed across the tower and he whirled around to find Karlach strolling his way, another cat slung across her large shoulders, a brown haired animal with piercing mauve eyes. The animal watched him as the barbarian hopped down the small set of stairs, a laugh bubbling up in her throat, and he felt threatened suddenly, as if it was judging how he stood, how he looked, what he felt. Why did it look so eerily human as it stared at him? Because of the sudden distraction, it took Rolan far longer than it should’ve to realize Karlach was addressing him. “That’s an excellent question.” He muttered, watching as the cat leapt from Karlach’s shoulders to his desk, those strange eyes focusing in on the wooden figurine.

WIP Wednesday Whenever

I was just tagged by @starknstarwars lmao thank you!

Some Rolan/Juni pre-Goblin fight for you. Juni can't help but to flirt with the grumpy wizard because she got turned into a cat too many times over the course of her childhood and scrambled her brains a bit. Juniper is a Wild Magic Sorcerer/Bard Multiclass.

Warnings: BG3 spoilers, mentions of lobotomy as a joke

“Rolan, I’ve been looking for you!”

His entire body tensed at the familiar sound of the bard’s voice: low and husky, heady, with a hint of sweetness, much like his favorite wine. Lia’s eyes widened as the bard’s small hand wrapped around his wrist and tugged him away from his sister.

“Are you able to cast any combat spells?”

What an absurd question, he thought as he glanced down, the smaller tiefling’s face tilted in his direction. It was strangely sweet, eyes wide in her face, a blazing blue that reminded him of the clearest skies of Elturel.

“Of course I can cast combat spells.” He’d be a pretty poor wizard if he couldn’t at least defend himself. “I’m certainly not going to bash my enemies over the head with my staff.”

A smile twitched at her lips and she moved her head in the other direction as if she was studying him. Was that interest in her eyes as she glanced down the length of his body? “You could if you wanted to, you know.”

“Hit people with my staff? Have you gone mad?”

“I might be crazy. You wouldn’t be the first person to imply that. I wonder if Volo’s tadpole extraction comes with a lobotomy.”

Tadpole? Lobotomy? The bard was truly insane. It was the only explanation he could think of as she swung her lute around her body and began to pluck at the strings randomly, no tune coming from it but the twang of the notes.

“I can assure you, I prefer my current chosen occupation.”

“Oh, well you look strong enough to bash people in the head. I mean, I think it might be sort of sexy to see it. Not the ‘bashing heads in’ thing, just like… you fighting with weapons instead of magic.”

Was she flirting with him? Zurgan, this woman.

Rolan’s cheeks burned, Lia’s snort of laughter nearly drowned out by the thumping of his heart in his ears.
