I’ve been reading your Church fic over on ao3. Lemme tell you I get heart eyes whenever I got back on your you’ve updated, it’s so enthralling

Thank you, Nonny. I’m glad I made your day.
Tumblr introduced a merged notif system a few days ago (not everyone has gotten it yet) and one... effect of it is that stuff prior to it has been deleted.
"I presume the xkit people are already working on a better way to do this.
Can we just… run a kickstarter or gofundme to firkin buy Tumblr and hire some decent coders to make this hellsite just work?
I'm glad I voted for ''The Romance of a Thousand Couples: The Romcom Journey''. That's a really interesting break down!
"Thank you, Nonny <3 I wish I could say I worked hard on it, but… nope. This is just all pulled from my innate dislike of Romcoms.
Bad news: My flash fiction prompt thing is over here.
Good news: I added this prompt over there and it will turn up as a story in the fullness of time
I would have to listen to Amnesty at least a couple of times so I can get the ‘voice’ right. And get the continuity cemented into my noggin.
Like: right now, I have headcanons based entirely off the teaser portion of the Amnesty arc and plotlines that DO NOT MESH with the extended version. Like… I could likely do it, but the result might be a lot more wobbly than my Balance fics.
[I actually did a crossover with the Stolen Century that ‘returned’ Elves to the Amnesty worlds and had other shenanigans, like a talking Dr Harris Bonkers, PhD… and I do believe Tumbl Into TAZ has exactly one Amnesty fic]
That said - I go where my prompts take me and I try my best regardless.
OK thanks for that. I’ll get rid of that post until I trip across better info.
Thankyou, friendo.
I shall be doing my best to remember the best of my friend, and carry on some shenanigans in her memory.
For now, though, I have to focus on the long trip home.
Thank you so much for enjoying them, friendo. I’ve had a spate of Luume prompts, of late, so you should have extra huggy feels.
The real trick is trying to figure out new ways to write it so it doesn’t get stale for all of y’all.
30 : Does writing calm you down or stress you out?
A little of each. There’s moment when the narrative just flows and that’s just wonderful. There’s entire days when I can’t drag one word to follow the other, and those SUCK. Nevertheless, I persist.
32 : Do you give your side-characters extensive backstories?
Depends on the side-character. Some get just enough information to get through the scene… some fucking take over and become mains. They grow as they exist.
35 : Is it more fun to write villains or heroes?
I am weirdly proficient at writing psychopaths (and that’s scary). I prefer to do either the heroic type or the villain type, so long as they have a decent personality. Character development counts.
37 : What’s one piece of advice you would give to new writers?
In one word - Persist.
If you keep writing, and write something every day, you will grow and learn and spread some magnificent wings. Take it one story at a time. One day at a time. One day, you might be on the bookshelves and talking at conventions and I hope we wind up on a panel together.
