Fic writer asks!

✨🎀🤲

hi zainab!!!! thanks for the ask <3

(from this list)

✨: What's a fic you've posted you wish you could breathe life into again and have people talking about it? (or simply a fic you wish got more credit)

i feel like my answer to this is always MILF (man i love fishing) because i'm really proud of how i wrote sam and his process of grieving in this one, but i think i probably fucked that up myself by naming it a joke title (i have no regrets. that title is hilarious.)

i also want to shout out you don't look a day over fast cars and freedom bc 1) i think it got lightly overshadowed by the fic where bucky grows old after sam has passed on, which like, i get, because outside of the princess diaries au that might be the fic i'm most proud of, but also 2) if i breathed life into this one again i'm hoping it would spur on more old married sambucky bc i adore it and there's so little of it

🎀: give yourself a compliment about your own writing

aaaaaaa this is always so hard um. i really like my characterization? i spend a lot of time on it whenever i'm writing and, like i referenced in another one of these, i try really hard to make sure the characters are recognizable and still in character no matter what situation they're in (ESPECIALLY in aus) and i think i do a pretty consistently good job at accomplishing this, and i'm pretty proud of that!

🤲: what do YOU get out of writing?

i've managed to build myself a really wonderful community of friends and mutuals from writing, which is definitely a big part of why i do it, but i also just have a lot of ideas and it's really great getting to put pen to paper (metaphorically, of course, given i write everything basically in google docs). the whole reason i started writing sambucky in the first place is because i had fic ideas i couldn't get out of my brain, and they just needed to go somewhere, and they ended up going onto ao3 in the form of the one last stop au, the princess diaries au, and the fic where bucky dresses up (and, eventually, sam dresses up) as a uso showgirl for halloween, and then that's just blossomed into all the writing i've done from there. idk i just really enjoy both the sense of community i get from writing and the break from my brain being like "hey if we don't write this we'll die" (which is, coincidentally, also how i ended up giving a speech and winning a medal for it at my high school graduation even though i hate public speaking and, at that point in my life, had multiple anxiety attacks over the thought of having to do it)

#that last one was a fun story #a friend asked me about ideas of what to write for the contest #and then my brain wrote a whole speech in the shower and wouldnt leave me alone till i wrote it down #and then my english teacher bullied me into entering the contest #(affectionately bullied. i adored that man.)#and then i got chosen as a finalist and i was like oh. oh shit. i have to like. speak now????#and then i won which was wild #anyways #my brain is very mean to me it won't let me rest if it is Excited about an Idea #thanks for the ask zainab <3 #ask game #ask meme #writer meme #ask #firstelevens

Harapan Hari Keempatbelas

Kemarinan kepikiran buat games di halaqah plus bisa juga dimainin sama Haur, bahkan umi sampai ikutan main haha

Jadi, ditentuin satu topik di Quran, semisal "Nama Hewan di Quran" kemudian nanti kita gantian sebutin hewan apa saja di Quran. Terus ganti lagi jadi Tumbuhan di Quran, Manusia di Quran, Tempat di Quran, Sifat di Quran, dll

Aku jadi kepikiran buat listnya supaya nanti ndak lupa dan bisa dimainin jadi ala ala ice breaking juga atau games di perjalanan sama bocil.

Mari kita tuliskan apa apa saja yang sudah diketahui, kalo belum tertulis tapi ada di Quran, semata karena emang aku gatau kalo itu ada :")

Bisa aja kalo lagi rajin dan semangat, tulisan ini nanti kuolah jadi mainan edukatif, yuhuu!

Nama Hewan di Quran

Doggybo (Karena kalo di rumah kayak tabu buat nyebutin nama asli makhluk itu, jadi sebutan aku dan Haur adalah Doggybo untuk hewan yang suka menggonggong dan berkaki empat)

Tumbuhan/Buah di Quran

Delima

Kurma

Pisang

Zaitun

Tin

Kacang Adas

Bawang

Labu yang dimakan Nabi Yunus

Anggur

Gandum

Jahe

Lagi asik asik main, dipotong sama Haur

H : Kak U, berarti di Surga nggak ada durian dong (nada sedih)

K : Kan di Surga boleh minta apa aja, kalo kamu mau durian pasti Allah kasih laah. Ini kan kita bahas buah di Quran, bukan di Surgaa 😂

Manusia di Quran

Para Nabi, Istri, dan Kaumnya baik yang mendukung maupun membangkang (Gausah lagi disebutin haha)

Penyihir Firaun

Saudara Nabi Yusuf

Kakaknya Nabi Musa

Ibunya Nabi Musa

⚡✨Amirul Mu'minin, peace be upon him, was dazzled by the intense of her (Sayeda Zainab) intelligence. She said to him: Do you love us, Father? So, the imam quickly said: How can I not love you and you're the fruit of my heart? She answered him politely and respectfully: Father! Love is for Allah Almighty, and pity is for us.

Ashley Bouse, FASA's 2022 - 2023 Co-External Chair

Hi FASA,

As I’m writing this testimonial the day it is due (shoutout to miss media milly) I’ve reflected on my experience as a general member turned FASA intern turned FASA board member.

But first I’ll start with some context:

I was born in Dearborn, Michigan at the ripe age of zero, and after living in Detroit for the first two years of my life, my parents made the decision to move us to somewhere smaller… much smaller. For the most part, I lived and grew up in a teeny tiny town (literally a village 💀) in rural Michigan.

Those of you also from middle of nowhere towns in Michigan or honestly anywhere in the Midwest probably know what it's like. I was the only Asian student in my grade for pretty much all of K-12 and was the only Asian student in my entire graduating class. It’s interesting to hear how some schools had entire Asian/Asian-American organizations and even their own Filipino clubs. If my high school were to have had an Asian organization, it would’ve consisted of only three members (i.e. me, Alexa, and Tommy Yang).

Anyways, fast forward, I’ve been accepted into U of M and am living in Bursley Hall. 😭 I had heard about FASA but was pretty hesitant to join. I showed up to Fall Mass Meeting at Rackham (with Bryson 😎), went to the LinkedIn Photoshoot at the Law Quad, and quickly despawned from all FASA events in the Fall.

Photo taken Fall 2021 during LinkedIn Photoshoot by Michelle (aka “media meesh”)

I wasn’t an active member of FASA until the Winter semester of my freshman year. I had a lot of hesitations about joining, but I applied to the FASA intern program on a whim, thinking I wasn’t active, qualified, or even “Filipino enough” to be accepted. However to my surprise, a little less than two weeks later, I received an email that read:

Slay.

I basically forced myself into being active in the organization by becoming an intern. It was both a sense of obligation and eagerness to learn as much as I could about FASA, especially about how the organization operates behind the scenes. I went into the program knowing very little about FASA and had only attended a small number of events. I didn’t know any of the other interns besides Angeli and Andrew who were in FIlipino class with me, however I was excited to get to know all of the other interns and board members.

FASA INTERN GALS ✨

I grew close with the other interns, went to “Teen Beach Movie Night” (iykyk), helped plan and eventually had the intern capstone event, went to many FASA events and made many maaany more memories. I got to know my fam (Xfam = best fam), my sexy lineage (Darago <3), and so many people in the FASA community.

EXTERNAL EVENTS

Filipino Americans Coming Together (FACT)

Filipino Americans did WHAT???

The Filipino Americans Coming Together (FACT) conference was the first external trip during my sophomore year. To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what FACT actually was at first. It had been a few years since they had an in-person conference, but this year they were in-person. I sent out my silly little Google forms, texted everyone and their mom to figure out logistics, and toiled on the master spreadsheet until cars, houses, itinerary, and all of the other details that go into planning external trips were figured out.

FACT itself was a little rocky because UIUC’s first in person conference in a while. I heard that many of the workshops went well, however, the quality/structure varied with each. We attended the FACT Variety Show (sorry Ashley Mehta), many of us pushed Joes, and went on our pilgrimage to Seafood City and Jollibee in Chicago. Looking back, it was a challenge trying to figure out how to manage such a large group of people. We had 55 members attend the conference, but Mikey and I managed to ensure no one perished or got abandoned in Chambana, so overall I’m happy with how the weekend went.

One thing that FACT taught me is that you cannot plan everything down to the T and expect it to go smoothly. The unknown of what could happen on an external trip always has made me a little anxious, but sometimes all we can do is plan, put in the effort, and then leave things to their own accord. This position has taught me that you can’t try to perfect everything. When [REDACTED] hits the fan, you must always be ready to pivot and adapt to what the new situation or challenge brings.

Battle of the Bamboo

FASA takes on Chicago

Battle of the Bamboo (BOTB) this year had about double or nearly triple the number of attendees from the year prior. For me, last year’s BOTB was one of my favorite FASA memories and also a big reason why I feel close with many of my friends in the organization today so I urged everyone to go (or else they’d get severe FOMO).

This year’s BOTB was particularly special because of performance chairs and FASA’s exhibition performance of Pagapir. From a planning perspective, we were more relaxed with overall planning for BOTB and focused a lot of our logistics around ensuring that specifically performers made it where they had to be well in advance. We had 55+ attendees with housing being spread out among several different locations. Many people got the chance to explore Chicago, try new restaurants, sing karaoke, etc.

External quick tip: An easy and relatively harmless way to ensure that Filipino time does not demolish your plans/external itinerary is by accommodating for a 30 minute (or more) buffer time and saying that people need to be places earlier than they actually have to be. We cannot get rid of Filipino time, however we can try our best to plan for it and ensure it does not deter us too much.

One big takeaway I had after Battle is that there is a sliding scale between trips being hands-off and trips being planned down to the minute. That being said, there are pros and cons to both sides. If the trip is way too structured, it can be 1.) too suffocating for attendees and 2.) very stressful for externals to maintain this structure. On the other hand, if there isn’t enough structure then people do not feel secure/reassured during the trip. Meaning that in both planning and execution, you need to aim for the external trip to fall somewhere in the middle of this range.

Additionally, things may seem good on paper but there can be flaws and problems that arise the day of when the plan is in execution. It is our responsibility as external chairs to make the trip fun and equitable for everyone, and it is also our responsibility to try to make things right when they do not go to plan. Battle weekend allowed a lot of necessary and valuable dialogue to be brought up/discussed, and I am looking forward to seeing how external trips progress and grow in future years.

Philippine Culture Night

I remember my first Philippine Culture Night (PCN) in vivid detail. From the “sinigang” to the Toledo coconut boys, the Tinikling set, speeches, poetry, speakers, and so on. However, I wasn’t on a committee or a part of a performance group but I knew I wanted to be more actively involved in the night in the future.

For this year’s PCN, I managed the new External Outreach committee with Mikey. It was a bit of a headache to figure out, but we made sure nearby external PSAs were able to reserve tickets and make it to our PCN.

In addition, I also signed up for a PCN dance at the last minute. I’m terribly uncoordinated (e.g. Tinik on the Diag) and dancing has never been my strong suit. That being said, I cannot recommend enough that people join one of the PCN dance groups if they have the time in their schedule for it. Dance practices, as long and tiring as they can feel, became something I really looked forward to during the week. I enjoyed getting to know the other dancers and bonding with them over jokes, shared exhaustion, and a great PCN performance at the end.

Like all things in life, what you put into FASA is what you get out of it. In order to get the most out of the organization, you need to step out of your comfort zone. Sign up for silly little dances and committees and make the most of all of the opportunities to get to know all of the amazing people that make up the FASA community.

To my Co:

Dear Mikey,

We met at Mass Meeting in the fall of freshman year, but my real first impression of you was at the [REDACTED] mixer during the beginning of winter semester when you accidentally butt-dialed 911 on my phone. I thought you were a complete goon, but little did I know that we would end up becoming co-chairs just a few months later.

With that being said, I cannot put into words how thankful I am to have you as a co-chair and friend (among other things). You’ve grown so much since I first met you, and I admire how driven, caring, and considerate have always been. You make me want to be a better person.

Sometimes planning external events/trips have made me want to explode into a million pieces, but you’ve always been there and have given stability to me through it all. From board retreat to organization collabs, external weekend, late night toiling in the Fish Bowl, FACT & Battle, and everything in between, there’s no one else I could’ve done it all with. Now that our tenure is coming to a close, I can truly look back and be proud of everything we’ve accomplished in the past year. Thank you for always supporting me unconditionally and for always being there for me. We did it!! :)

FASA Executive Board 2022-23

To FASA Executive Board:

I’m so lucky to have served my tenure on board alongside each and every one of you. I’m definitely biased, but this year’s board is such a special and talented group of people. Thank you for making Sunday board meetings something to look forward to, and thank you for all of your support, hard work, and dedication this past year.

To the seniors:

Senior farewell hasn’t happened so I don’t need to be too sappy yet. However, as you all go on to do immeasurably great and impressive things, remember that FASA is always here for you and proud of you.

To those considering external chair or FASA e-board in the future:

FASA board has historically followed a trend: People are a part of FASA, become interns, get elected onto e-board, and then burn out over the course of the year. Although this trend doesn’t apply to everyone, it is important that we each do our best to manage burnout. For the sake of the FASA board and the wellbeing of your fellow boardies, please try your best to alleviate burnout and help out each other as best as you can.

If you need help, feel free to reach out to your predecessors. We’re always here to help and we want to see FASA and the new board succeed.

Learn to say no. Say no to events you don’t want to do. Say no to events you don’t want to go to. Additionally, know when to take a step back, especially if the FASA calendar is overpacked, realistically ask yourself what you would like to see/accomplish this semester.

I’ve heard this from past and present boardies a million times and I’m definitely sounding like a broken record, however this is one of my most important takeaways after being on board: Responsibilities in FASA cannot be black and white, either your problem or not your problem. Such a dichotomy could never exist because in a cohesive board, it is everyone’s job for events to run smoothly. If someone needs help in FASA, it is everyone’s job to step up (if they can) and assist their fellow boardies when they need it.

In closing:

As Winnie the Pooh (and Celeste at Sunday board one time) once said:

“How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.”

It’s hard and bittersweet to say goodbye to FASA board, but I know it will be in good hands. Thank you to all of FASA and board for your support, love, and friendship this past year. I’m looking forward to seeing what the future board is scheming.

I am also excited to push Sound Bar next year at Battle return to general membership status (joke lang).

It’s been real FASA <3

For the fanfic asks: ✨✍️🏷👓💕💌

hi zainab!! thanks for the ask <3

(from this list)

✨️: Out of the comments you’ve received on your fics, what are two or three of your favorites?

i’ve already answered this one here but a couple honorable mentions include:

whew. this is the first time i've ever cried while reading a fic.

on i’ve traveled far in search of someone like you (for what you are is the dream that i’ve prayed would soon come true) [why yes, i do regret titling it this long] which is my one last stop au

and

This fic was like being wrapped up in a warm, loving hug. I feel happy and secure and safe.

on oh so saccharine

✍️ What’s your ideal writing setup?

i’m assuming this means physical setup? honestly, i’m not picky? having a laptop to type on it nice, but most of my best works were written on google docs for iphone (including probably 60-75% of the princess diaries 2 au), so i’m not turning my nose up at it tbh

🏷 Is there a tag you like to search for when looking for fanfics to read?

lord knows i’m a HUGE fan of the bucky takes care of sam tag, but otherwise not really, unless i’m looking for a particular kink on occasion. my list of “do not include” tags tho,,,, that one’s a mile long

there are a few tags that will definitely make me more likely to read something tho (enemies to lovers, for example, or sam finds bucky before civil war)

👓 What helps you focus when you write?

mostly just having a lack of distractions. if my phone’s far away when i’m on my laptop that’s a huge help in general, but i also use the sprint feature in the mysu discord which helps me stay focused for short bursts bc i’m a competitive motherfucker and i have to beat my own wpm

💕 What is your favorite fic that you’ve written?

this is honestly a hard question for me to answer bc i’m fairly self critical, and also forgetful enough this changes depending on what i remember. the princess diaries 2 au is my magnum opus, so that feels like the obvious answer, but i did really love writing oh so saccharine if only because i really got to lean into my southern roots. i’m also probably unduly proud of the star wars au from au week, perhaps bc it’s my only real attempt at angst-ish (at least, angst that doesn’t resolve fairly quickly)

💌 Is there a favorite trope you like to write?

enemies to lovers enemies to lovers enemies to lovers enemies to lovers

i don’t even want to know how many enemies to lovers fics i’ve either written or at least began to plan out at this point tbh. i also really love bucky taking care of sam/bucky being so gone on sam wilson. i don’t know if those count as tropes tho i’m ngl
