WIP word "outside" (because it's that kind of day for me)
And now comes the hardest part of this - figuring out what WIP to use. This would be so much easier if I didn't post my chapters as I go, but here's a bit from The Keep's Ruler, my most recent fill that I'm working on for Phic Phight. This chapter is already live, but eh. I haven't talked about this fic here much.
Skulker flew closer, running a hand along the outside of the machine. Danny noticed he took extra care to not cross the line into the tunnel, and something in him eased. He didn't want anyone to step inside. Ever.
"There's no damage to the machine."
"Nor did I touch it. I fed ectoplasm into the portal to keep it open."
Skulker looked at him, eyes on his chest before continuing his examination. "It was closed from the other side. That's the only explanation."
"Who could even do that?" Tucker asked through the phone. "I thought the portal was self-sustaining."
Skulker looked uncomfortable, eyes darting to Danny, even as he stepped further and further from the portal. It clicked. Only one thing made ghosts that uncomfortable.
"Me. I was powering the portal because it formed in me."
Random musings about an episode where Spectra disguised herself as a student, rather than a counselor to sow misery within the high school! Spreading gossip, being outright malicious, shattering friendships, and all that jazz! Plus, using that fact she looks like a teen against Danny, since unless cornering her, he couldn't fight her without looking like he's attacking a random student.
once again thinking about aroace atem having to deal with rival being so down bad for each other all the time over the most normal shit
like seeing yugi wear a new top that exposes his arms & neck and telling him how nice he looks while seto's beside him trembling with the need to touch, or seeing seto in a super casual setting where he's wearing sweatpants and just being like 'wow you look relaxed! :)' while yugi's brain is melting an he's trying not to drool
every time he notices he's just like "i know you two have both tried to straight up go into suicidal situations for me but i feel like you finally hit the 'too dramatic' stage this time. thats just me tho."
🍲🍛🍣🍥 I think those were the emojis in the ask game
Asks from the food ask.
🍲When did you start writing and why?
First grade, I think? It has been a class assignment and I just feel in love.
🍛Have any comments, tags or reactions to one of your fics every made you laugh or cry or both?
I've had some lovely comments! Anyone someone mentions a fic is their comfort fic, or that I'm a fav writer, or they're back for a reread makes me feel especially warm and fuzzy though.
🍣What helps you focus or get in the mood to write?
Physical breaks and dedicated time. I find if i tell myself 'time to write!', not randomly but for a planned session, I slip into easily. This usually means heading to a coffee shop on the weekends, so I am not distracted my home mental things (chores, ao3, the Cat) and I get a designated time - until my laptop dies. What also helps is write-ins with my writer group! We have a hybrid write-in every Thursday night - sometimes I go in person, sometimes I just hop onto the Zoom - but being in a space with other writers can help keep me focused, if not on writing, at least the story.
🍥What's your favorite fic you've written?
I cannot choose! I've been writing for so long, and have so many fics, all from different parts of my life. It's impossible to pic a favorite.
Okay, review left and fic rec post made so i was at least able to babble about it.
I just finished an amazing fanfic, for a fandom I can't quite write for yet (gotta finish phic phight), but golly do i want this story to linger in my mind and not be replaced yet.
