20 questions for fic writers

shamelessly stolen from @sapphicsandscience <3 questions and rambly answers beneath the read more!

How many works do you have on AO3?

63.

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

451,140.

I’m kind of impressed that it’s almost half a million, but also just how much I wrote in the last two years after not writing/publishing anything at all in 2021.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Currently, Star Trek: TNG and PIC. Before that, the fandom I wrote the most for was Once Upon a Time. Everything else was just two or three fics, at least on AO3. I’ve been writing fic for decades so there are A LOT of fics and fandoms that have been lost to time. (Random shout out to Battlestar Galactica, which I wrote for back in my LiveJournal days!)

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

I’m going to do two sets here, because my All Years one are all OUAT fics no one cares about anymore, and I have enough fics published from this year to have a top five of 2023 so my current fandom has something to read that will make sense to them lol.

All Years

The Fire’s Found a Home in Me - my Dragon Outlaw Queen magnum opus, the one shot collection that makes up the bulk of my Flicker Beat universe that divulges in season four. Technically “unfinished” but complete since it was never intended to have a true ending.

It Happened Once… - a Evil Captain Charming crackfic that honestly has way more kudos than I expected. This one for some reason sees a lot of traction still. It was originally supposed to have a just-as-cracky sequel, but I never finished it.

A Loaded God Complex - ah, Golden Queen, my guilty pleasure OUAT ship. Set in s6, this was the start of a set of one-shots that took the romantic Golden Queen that finally blossomed in that season and ran with it. Mostly involves a lot of dark power struggles masking as sex. Aptly all titled after Fall Out Boy lyrics, if I say so myself.

Put Your Venom in Me - another Golden Queen fic, see above.

The Computation - a little Dragon Queen one-shot I did, short and sweet. Honestly surprised it’s on here, because it’s not my best work by any means.

2023

peace - my Picard/Crusher fic set directly after the epilogue in the PIC s3 finale. I was pleasantly surprised by how much attention this fic has gotten. I had suspected I would end up writing a prequel, but I never thought it’d turn into the four part series that it has. I hope everyone still enjoys it.

Mastermind - the first Star Trek: TNG fic I wrote since I was a teenager watching TNG for the first time! This was entirely thanks to my friend Jess, if I’m remembering correctly? She prompted me to rewrite the season 2 episode “Manhunt” with Beverly in it instead of Pulaski, because my favorite toxic trait of Beverly’s is her jealousy.

what could’ve been, should’ve been (you) - my PIC s3 Picard/Crusher masterpiece. I got the idea for this by the end of episode two, struggled with it as the season went on, and then finally wrangled it into something that I truly love.

in the business of misery - jealous!Beverly makes a reappearance in this s4 TNG fic that fixes QPid. Because fuck Vash, okay.

trustfall - dlfshfsl this fic. If what could’ve been, should’ve been (you) is my PIC masterpiece, I think trustfall is my TNG one. I disparage it a bit by talking as if it’s shameless smut, but honestly I’m quite proud of it as a character piece as Picard and Beverly navigate a new relationship and new dynamics across 11k of words. Set in TNG s3, post-Sarek.

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I try to! I genuinely appreciate comments, because I find it quite difficult to give them myself, so as a part of trying to be better I also try to respond to comments. I’m an awkward turtle, though, so I feel like I usually end up babbling about things people probably did not care about. If I don’t babble, I usually just leave a short and sweet “thanks for reading” that I hope doesn’t come across as insincere.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Probably Winter Song, a OUAT fic I actually wrote for a holiday fandom advent calendar we did back in the OQ fandom. It’s a wedding fic, and smutty as is my usual, but it’s got a heavy dose of sadness. I sort of tried to make it hopeful in the end, because ending a Christmas fic with no hope felt like I was killing Christmas.

Another OUAT fic I wrote, A Spark to Ignite, was also really angsty, now that I think about it and doesn’t involve any character death (canon or otherwise). It was supposed to have a part two that fixed it but I never wrote it.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Oooh. I’ll be polite and not take “happiest ending” to be dirty, even though I could list SO MANY fics for that.

bound to break, my Greatest Showman AU that I wrote for Outlaw Queen (OUAT fandom, again) ends pretty cleancut happily after having some angst in the middle. And it’s technically a multi chapter fic, though it’s short lol.

I Know, I Know, I Know (I Feel the Same as You) as my Outlaw Queen college AU always makes me happy when I think about the ending.

8. Do you get hate on fic?

Not really. I’ve gotten some comments that were definitely unnecessary and mean-spirited, but nothing major. Truthfully, I’m not nearly a big enough deal to get hate.

9. Do you write smut?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Sorry, nothing against anyone who doesn’t, but writing smut is basically all I do. It’s what I was known for in my previous fandom. It’s the thing I find the easiest to write, and secretly I suffer from a lot of insecurity because I feel like it’s the only thing I actually write very well. For a bit, in the OUAT fandom, I felt a little like a smut jukebox and it was entirely my own fault. But I wrote a lot of fun things and ultimately I enjoy writing smut.

10. Do you write crossovers?

I definitely have in my distant fic writing past, but nothing recently. OUAT almost counts as a canon crossover, given the story of it.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not to my knowledge.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

No.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No, not really. My great network of fic writing friends have definitely provided excellent guidance and suggestions that have been enormously helpful, and that’s the closest I’ve gotten.

14. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

Lol I feel like this is impossible to answer? My current hyperfixation is Picard/Crusher, and that’s a ship I’ve loved for a very, very long time. So maybe it’s that. But I’ll always hold a place in my heart for Outlaw Queen and Dragon Outlaw Queen (especially for the latter, since I wrote SO MUCH of it). Adama/Roslin is my OTP from back in my LiveJournal days that will also be special to me.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but probably won’t?

Funnily enough, it’s not a Star Trek one, even though that’s my current fandom. The WIP I really, really wish I had finished is Where the Burn Marks Form. I had SUCH PLANS for Dragon Outlaw Queen and Calida and got too intimidated by what I wanted to do to actually write it. Sometimes I think it’s for the best though, because I think any remaining DOQ fans might have been sad about what all was supposed to happen (though it was always supposed to have a happy ending).

16. What are your writing strengths?

Smut. Once upon a time (lol), threesomes in particular. Ironically I used to struggle a bit with writing just two people having sex after writing so much Dragon Outlaw Queen, but I find it not as difficult anymore.

Character voices. Not to brag, but something I pride myself on is getting a character’s voice right. It’s something I work very hard at, and stress a lot over, but generally feel like I succeed.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Literally anything else? You want long, detailed plotty fic? Sorry, can I interest you in a smutty one shot instead. You want something angsty? Not really my style. You want a well-plotted completely alternate universe fic? LOL please, I write fic so I don’t have to world build. Canon compliant or canon divergence or bust, baby.

I write on vibes, and I’m sure sometimes that is blatantly obvious. I have the vaguest of plans whenever I sit down to write something, and I go from there. Probably someday I should try to have actual concrete plans and not just “hmm what if i do this” vibes.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

Lol okay let me piss off the entire Picard/Crusher fandom real quick: IN MY OPINION, it is annoying to write dialogue in another language unless it’s like… blatantly obvious what you’re saying. Very rarely is there a point to it, and it can be easily sidestepped by “blah blah blah,” he said in French. Basic phrases, sure. Pet names, have at it! Several sentences in another language?

Look I don’t speak French. If you put French in your fic, I’m having to pull out Google translate and heaven help me if it’s dirty talk, because now Google is translating “I want to fuck you,” to English from different languages (French, it’s French, I didn’t have this problem in my other fandoms). I wish if people were going to do that, they’d at least make a footnote (I would 100% be willing to find out how to format it) and!!! I think you can still use html to set it up so that when you hover over text, it gives you a little mouseover text where you can have the translation!!! That way I don’t have to one: try and scroll down to the end notes hoping for a translation and thus breaking my immersion as I scroll back up, or at least if it’s a footnote it’ll have an anchor taking me back to the sentence in question.

Sorry rant over, everyone please continue writing however you wish, I will deal. And honestly if you use the same French phrases enough I’ll learn them anyway, so it won’t matter in the long run. This absolutely is not a deal breaker for me when it comes to reading a fic, it’s just a pet peeve.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Um, probably Harry Potter but that is my long-forgotten days.

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

trustfall as mentioned above for Star Trek: TNG. With trustfall, it was maybe the second or third fic I wrote for Star Trek (I mean, at least not counting back when I was in my early teens writing for it) and I really think it's just some of my best work? It's a smut fic, but I think there's really, really good character exploration in it. It easily could have just been a fic where Beverly soft dommes Jean-Luc and all you get is that final scene, but I think the build up really makes it worth it. idk idk I have a lot of feels for this fic lolol.

Wishes in the Dark for OUAT. My key party in Storybrooke fic!! aka my Awkward David fic. I think this is one of the best fics I've written, period, for a lot of the same reasons as above. It's 30k, it's got Dragon Outlaw Queen, but more importantly it's got David lusting after Regina and Mal and getting the chance to sleep with them with Snow's permission... and then also Robin joins in and David realizes some things about himself. There's a whoooole side quest of things that was supposed to happen after this story that I never wrote. It's also got some really tender Evil Charming, because I couldn't resist.

And that's all folks! Thanks for reading if you made it this far, I know I really rambled. <3

if i'm not too late for the prompt ask, fluff #9 or angst #37 - Kerry/sandy ?

Not too late - I could do these forever. Thank you for sending!! I will do #9 in the next day or so.

Angst #37 “Lie to me. I don’t care what you say, just lie to me. Make me feel okay again.”

Shut the Door

It had been a surprisingly easy shift at the station - a light day of easy calls followed by the night crew coming in early to eat with the day shift meant Sandy was home almost an hour earlier than she’d normally be. While the workload had been light, her body still felt heavy, and she could feel herself growing more and more tired the closer she got to her apartment on the walk from the El train. As she turned the corner onto her street, her eyes were immediately drawn to a light in the dark ahead of her. A car sat in front of their apartment building, its headlights off but interior lights on and Sandy caught a glimpse of a familiar head of red hair as she walked closer.

As she approached, she could tell it was indeed Kerry’s car, and the hair inside the car belonged to her wife, but another thing she realized as she took the last few steps to the passenger’s side window was that she could hear Kerry’s audible sobs, muted by the jacket bunched in her hand that she held to her face.

A knot formed in Sandy’s stomach. To call the emotions of the last few months a rollercoaster would be an understatement. From the anticipation following the implantation, to the complete elation of the positive pregnancy test, to the utter devastation they felt now… it was hard to keep up. Sandy was still struggling, but not in the way Kerry was. Kerry had wanted that baby more than Sandy felt capable of wanting anything. She truly had everything she needed already. She wished Kerry felt the same way.

Unsure of a way to go about getting Kerry’s attention without startling her, but uncomfortable with leaving her outside in the dark alone, Sandy very quietly tapped on the car window. Kerry jumped at the noise, a hand flying to her chest as she tried to recover her breath upon realizing she was not in immediate danger. She reached to her side and unlocked the car, Sandy pulling open the door as Kerry wiped her tears on the coat in her hands.

“Hey…” Sandy started delicately, moving Kerry’s crutch to the side as she slipped into the passenger’s seat.

“Hey.” Kerry responded, sipping in sharp breaths as she tried to calm herself, tears still welling in her large green eyes.

‘Are you okay’ felt like a ridiculous question. ‘What’s wrong’ felt redundant.

“How long have you been out here?” Sandy asked, reaching into the glove box where she knew Kerry kept a travel pack of tissues, handing one to her wife.

Kerry shrugged, not able to entirely form words yet.

“Do you want to come inside?”

Kerry shook her head.

Instead, they sat in silence, and Sandy’s heart broke as she listened to Kerry’s breath repeatedly catch in her throat as she tried to hold back her sobs.

“I had to tell- I had to tell Susan today.” Kerry started eventually, clearing her throat when her voice came out raspy and harsh. “She bought me a gift- us. She bought us a gift. The baby.” She lost herself again for a moment. Sandy handed her another tissue. “I hadn’t said the words out loud since… I thought I was doing okay. I thought I was starting to move on,” her words gained speed as she began to lose control of them. “I can’t go inside. Because when I do I’m going to have to look at that empty room. His room. That he’ll- he’ll never need. That we’ll never need. I-I can’t… I can’t go inside.”

Sandy wasn’t sure she’d ever seen Kerry this far gone. Even the night that she’d come home from work, the day they’d lost the baby, she hadn’t fallen apart like this. Not that she’d ever seen. Maybe this wasn’t the first night she’d hidden in the car.

“... what can I do?” Sandy offered. She knew the one thing she could do that would make Kerry happy, that would fix this enormous, insurmountable problem. But she couldn’t. She couldn’t.

“Lie to me,” Kerry whispered, her eyes staring at the steering wheel in front of her. “I don’t care what you say, just lie to me,” she begged, her eyes flashing to find Sandy’s as she watched her quietly. “Make me feel okay again.”

Sandy bit at her lip. She didn’t know where to even begin, what she could possibly say.

“It’s going to be okay.” Sandy began slowly, reaching over to grab Kerry’s hand in her own, squeezing it as she spoke, feeling the reciprocation from Kerry’s icy grip and remembering they were sitting outside in a car in the middle of February. “We’re going to be okay. How about we go in and I’ll shut the door. To the nu-... to that room. I’ll shut the door. I’ll get your stuff out of there. You don’t need to see it.” Sandy offered and caught the most subtle of nods as Kerry agreed. “We’ll figure this out, Kerry. I promise.”

“And then once he does it, we’re all set. Right? What do you think? Kerry?….Are you even listening to me?”

“Why are your feet so close to my head?”

“…I’ve been talking to you for ten minutes. Have you even heard a word I’ve said?”

“No. Because your feet are so close to my head.”

“I can put them closer to your head if you want me to.”

“No, get them — Tammy. Get them away from my face. I don’t do this to you when I come in your room.”

“Yeah? And whose fault is that, Kerry?”

“Why are you even in here?”

“I’m bored.”

“Then, go do something.”

“I was going to do something, but Mom won’t take me to the library unless I take all the library books with us. And you’re reading that one again. For what…the forty-fifth time?”

“It’s the third time.”

“Give the book back, Kerry. Let someone else read it. And besides, Jane Austen has written plenty of other books. You can put a different one.”

“I will give you the book when I’m done with it. Now get out of my room.”

“Fine. But you have to say goodbye to my feet.”

“What do you mean I have to — TAMARA. Your FEET touched my MOUTH.”

“Kerry, you want to be a doctor, don’t you? You’ll have to put up with way more disgusting stuff than that.”

“But not to your FEET in my MOUTH.”

* * *

Another drawing of sisters in the 70s, this time featuring Kerry’s bedroom. I had fun with the details on this one (in particular the sticky notes). I wanted her room to be tidier and more organized than my other drawing where they’re hanging out in Tamara’s room.

(Also the dark red is based off of a post by @sapphicsandscience who said she thought Kerry liked dark red based off of her stethoscopes throughout the series. I think it fit her well!)

Coming soon to an AO3 near you! (Cc: @bwayfan25 @sapphicsandscience)

Two queer moms, who had crossed paths in a previous life. Reconnect in an unlikely way.

One of their sons is a video game streaming influencer; the other is just a very big fan. When the opportunity arises form the two teens to meet, their moms reluctantly tag along (as their rides, of course).

What happens next will surprise everyone.

Dozens of Songs: Tag Game Meme

Thank you for the tag love @thebiwifeonao3 💜

Rules:

12 songs you've recently listened to (include a lyric that you like maybe)

12 ships (can be solo or platonic) that the songs loosely remind you of

Tag 12 people to do the same

Whether you've been tagged or not, you can send an ask with the song and pairing to create a work based on the idea. The theme is 12, so could be 12 characters, words, paragraphs, chapter - anything!

See my playlist below the cut:

1. "Shadows of the Night" by Pat Benatar - B'Elanna/Seven (Star Trek: Voyager)

You said, "Oh girl, it's a cold world when you keep it all to yourself." I said, "You can't hide on the inside all the pain you've ever felt." Ransom my heart, but baby don't look back 'Cause we got nobody else

2. "Islands in the Stream" by Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers - Mark/Susan (ER)

But that won't happen to us and we got no doubt Too deep in love and we got no way out And the message is clear This could be the year for the real thing

3. "Snow on the Sahara" by Anggun - Beverly/Picard (Star Trek: The Next Generation)

If your hopes scatter like the dust across your track I'll be the moon that shines on your path The sun may blind our eyes, I'll pray the skies above For snow to fall on the Sahara

4. "They Don't Know" by Kirsty MacColl - Kerry/Susan (ER)

I get a feeling when I look at you Wherever you go now I want to be there too They say we're crazy but I just don't care And if they keep on talking still they get nowhere

5. "In My Life" by The Beatles - Harry/Tom (Star Trek: Voyager)

But of all these friends and lovers There is no one compares with you And these memories lose their meaning When I think of love as something new

6. "Chasing Shadows" by The Corrs - Philip/Elizabeth (The Americans)

Nothing simple anymore He said to me, "Can we go back to before?" The child appears Hate this girl that I've become Needy apparition Wring my heart like a dishcloth

7. "The Whole of the Moon" by The Waterboys - Data/Tasha (Star Trek: The Next Generation)

I spoke about wings You just flew I wondered, I guessed, and I tried You just knew

8. "Power Over Me" by Dermot Kennedy - Stan/Nina (The Americans)

So we hide away and never tell You decide if darkness knows you well That lesson of love, all that it was I need you to see

9. "Little Lies" by Fleetwood Mac - Tom/B'Elanna (Star Trek: Voyager)

Although I'm not making plans I hope that you'll understand there's a reason why (Close your eyes, close your eyes, close your eyes) No more broken hearts We're better off apart, let's give it a try (Tell me, tell me, tell me lies)

10. "Freefall" by Sharon Corr - Luka/Abby (ER) hehe help me Zoë

I am half-asleep and dreaming I'm awake but I'm not breathing I am shooting out the lights And I'm drowning in the lies I am flat against the surface I am scratching on the ice And I am fighting for my life I'm fighting for my life

11. "24 Hours" by Andrea Corr - Riker/Deanna (Star Trek: The Next Generation)

I'm not the only one that loves you Hey, everyone does You've got a map of your past Engraved on your face But your strange heart is the heart of a boy

12. "A Memory" by Doppler - Alicia/Jason (The Good Wife)

You're crying out for lightning All I give you is rain I'm the gloom in your afternoon Waiting for the sun to fade I'll take the West and you can keep the East

Tagging @sapphicsandscience @cloudsnbones @artificialconditions @everybodyknows-everybodydies @laura-elizabeth-legaspi-weaver @flutter2deceive (let me cheat by tagging just half a dozen here ok lol)

A7, B8, C6, D2! :D

A7: Why did you leave your first comment? Do you remember what it was? Ok I don't exactly remember why I left my first comment, but I think it was for a High School Musical fic lmao the state of me commenting with barely functional English at that time....

B8: Is there a show or a book that you gave up on that you went back to later? Why did you come back to it? I don't think I've ever gone back to a book - usually once I DNF that's it for me haha. As for shows, I remember giving up Castle when they made Beckett get all obsessed with investigating her mother's death again just as she and Castle were starting to find peace and happiness. I went back some months later, and the season finale was enough to put me off committing to another TV show for a good few years 🥲

C6: Is there anything in canon that made you want to quit the show? What was it? Why did you hate it? Too many to mention, lol. But in general what I can't stand most about canon is pretty much heavy-handed virtue signalling to overcompensate for shortcomings in other aspects, lazy resolution, and focusing on too many things in a half-arsed way.

D2: Who/Where did you get your last fic rec from? Got to be either @bevcrusherscandle or @sapphicsandscience hahaha

Susan/Kerry - general #21 for the prompts :)

General #21 - “It’s not my choice.”

“Really?” Kerry says, her face all scrunched up as she tries her best not to gag upon entering the living room. The only other occupant of the said living room simply responds with a smirk, which makes Kerry roll her eyes.

“Well, hello to you too. How’s work?” Susan reaches for a bottle of cheese sauce resting on the coffee table, while her other hand is firmly holding a half-full tub of Ben & Jerry’s.

Kerry sighs as she takes off her coat. “Nothing much happened. At least nothing that prepared me for this,” she points at the tub of ice cream Susan is holding, while the latter is pouring cheese sauce into the tub.

“Hey, humor me. It’s not my choice,” Susan shrugs as she takes a spoonful from the tub and eats it nonchalantly, completely ignoring the disgusted look on Kerry’s face.

“Let me guess,” Kerry says, remembering that they have gone through this at least a dozen times by now. “It’s the baby’s choice.”

Susan’s grin grows wider. “You wouldn’t expect me to deny my child what they want, would you?” she places a hand on her protruding stomach. “Seriously though, this kid wouldn’t give me a break. I couldn’t stomach anything until I ate at least two spoonfuls of this. And you know what? It’s actually really good,” she gushes with her mouth full, giving Kerry a look that says ‘do you want to try?’.

Kerry shudders as she makes her way to the bedroom that the two women share. “That’s very kind of you to ask, but I’ll pass. I’ll let you and the baby have all the fun with that,” she says while trying her best to look away from the strange combination Susan has been savouring, which makes the latter pout.

Trying hard to suppress a laugh, Kerry simply shakes her head at her girlfriend’s antics and she slowly begins to open the door to their room. “If I didn’t love you so much,” she mutters under her breath with a smile.

Susan instantly looks up, her expression startled upon listening, albeit barely, to Kerry’s words as the redhead disappears into the bedroom, having left the door open. Her snack forgotten, Susan begins to stand up—as quickly as her very pregnant belly allows her to—and her eyes instantly travel toward Kerry’s direction. “What did you just say?” she asks with an astonished tone.
