Ao3 Writing Meme

I was tagged by the nutritious and delicious @ladyamesindy​!

What is your total posted word count on AO3? (Go to your Works, then click Statistics.)

 1,195,350

How often do you write?

Pretty much daily for now. At work I get a good bit of downtime until the peak season starts in December, so I can write on my lunch break and when I’m waiting for work. I also write before I go to bed most days.

Do you have a routine for writing?

Not really? I mean, I’ve sort of fallen into a routine with evening and weekend writing, but it’s not something I planned. At home I like to get myself a nice drink and snack and put my laptop in my bed to relax and write with Netflix or a movie on in the background.

What’s your favourite kinks/tropes/pairing?

Golly, that’s a big one! lol

Pairings : mShenko, Destiel, Sabriel, Dody, Denny, DreamHunter, etc. I just ship everyone!

Tropes : Love me some hurt/comfort, mutual pining, enemies to lovers, wing kink, healthy BDSM, all manner of AU’s. Lots and lots!

Do you have a favourite fic of yours?

I don’t really go back and read my fics very often, so it’s difficult to pick one. However, Protect and Serve has a lot of me in it. Burn Down the Sky is also at the top of my list. They’re also two of my most popular fics, so I’m getting the impression that people like to read about what goes on in my head. 😀

Your fic with the most kudos?

That would be An Accidental Incubus. It sits at 1,827 kudos. I tend to get more comments than kudos, truthfully. In fact, Protect and Serve has 3,339 comments. 😀

Anything you don’t like about your writing?

I don’t have anything that I don’t like, per se, but I’ve got a lot that I need to work on. I repeat words and phrases way too much. That’s probably my biggest struggle.

Now something you do like?

I kind of like everything else? lol Well, I’d say what I like the best are two things. 1) My ability to turn a phrase in almost every chapter that never fails to make @ltleflrt angry. That’s a writing goal of mine. And 2) my ability to keep the characters in character. One of the more frequent comments that I consistently get is that people feel that no matter what AU I write, the characters are always believable and in character. It’s the kind of comment that honestly makes me feel better than any other.

My Underrated Fics!

I was tagged by the delicious @maliciouslycreative! Thank you, friend!

Rules: post three of your own fics that you think are underrated (links, summaries, ships) and, if you want, say why you like these three and maybe why you’d like them to see some more attention. You can tag as many/few peeps as you want. 😀

1. Finger Painted Grace: Destiel (with fanart!)

Summary: Art student Castiel Novak is struggling to solidify an idea for his BFA senior project incorporating painting and photography. Enter Dean Winchester, current MFA student, tattoo artist apprentice, and now, nude model for the figure drawing class. Suddenly, Castiel’s vision for the perfect project springs to life in his mind. Full of wings, souls, and visible grace. Something he sees shining out of the outgoing tattoo artist like never before. All he needs to do now is convince Dean to let him paint on his body, and also somehow figure out what to do about the fledgling feelings he has for Dean that he didn’t even think he was capable of before now.

My thoughts: I really love this fic. It was for a DCBB, and those usually get lower collective reads, but I think my DCBBs have all been some of my favorites. I tend to write uncomplicated falling in love. Slice of life, angst-free, just Dean and Castiel falling in love. I don’t write a lot of college AU’s, but this one really caught my imagination.

2. Where the Cracks Form: Destiel

Summary: 

Centuries ago, Earth was ruled by magic. Witches and their otherworldly familiars wandered freely, channeling the magic and sending it out, and through, nature. But as everything on Earth, there is an ebb and flow. Over time, magic, and magic users have disappeared to become myths. However, the cycle is returning. Witches are coming back in larger numbers in these modern times to control the energy before it spirals out of control and creates havoc. Castiel Novak, CPA, is a witch. Then again, he doesn’t believe in witches, magic, or the supernatural. Enter Dean Winchester, familiar, who is thrown from his plane of existence to Earth, charged with being Castiel’s familiar. His job, to establish a bond with his human, to help Castiel channel his magic. But first he must convince the disbelieving human to accept his fate before they both die from its disuse.

My thoughts: I’ve always felt that it was a pity there weren’t more human Castiel and creature Dean fics. This fic was a commission for Fandom Trumps Hate 2017, and when the idea was pitched, I totally fell in love with it, though it was out of my wheelhouse a little. I’ve never written an AU quite like this, but I enjoyed exploring Dean being the one not from Earth this time. Plus, it was fun to explore soul bonding in a less typical way.

3. The Unexpected Duet: Destiel (with fanart!)

Summary: 

Dean Winchester, best damn HR Manager ever, has a tough job to do. His only relief is the moment he can leave work and blast his classic rock at top volume. But after a particularly difficult day, AC/DC does nothing to calm his frayed nerves when he has to fire a good employee who doesn’t deserve her fate. Stretched almost to the breaking point with nothing to relax him, Dean unexpectedly hears a distant piano playing from somewhere nearby. He knows nothing of classical music, or the person playing it, but he’s immediately comforted by the melancholy piece. What he doesn’t realize, is that the famous concert pianist responsible for the music, Castiel Milton, is equally charmed by the the classic rock music drifting through his own windows and the voice of the man who puts a lot of heart into singing along every day. Through a chance encounter, Dean and Castiel discover more to love than just their music.

My thoughts: As much as #2 was out of my wheelhouse, this one is so in my wheelhouse, it’s not even funny. I was a music major for my first few years in college before I decided to switch. So writing about piano player Castiel was awesome. I also really enjoyed writing another angst-free fic. I’m sort of known for those in the SPN fandom now, and I’m not at all upset about that. I loved every word of this fic, and I hope everyone else does, too!

An SPN Themed Tag Game

I took this from @dmsilvisart because it looked really fun, and she tagged my fic, and she’s awesome!

Rules Answer the questions and tag some fellow Supernatural fans!

1. What/who first got you into Supernatural?

I had watched seasons 1-2 while they were when I lived in Japan because it made me less homesick. Then I moved back to the USA and promptly forgot about it. @ltleflrt, who is my bestie, got into the show and told me to give it a go again. Season 8 (I think? Maybe the end of 7?) was airing then, and I held out for a while, but she always pulls down eventually, so I picked it up again and promptly fell in love, because she is always right. 😀

2. What was the clincher that made you keep watching the show?

Bobby Singer. Hard stop.

3. Which more rare character do you wish appeared more often in episodes?

If you mean one that’s still alive? Donna and Jody, and that’s why I hope Wayward gets picked up. One that’s dead? Charlie and Benny. They were both so amazing.

4. If you could bring one character back to life permanently, who would you choose?

Dude, like a lot of them. Some have already come back, but, Charlie, Benny, Donatello, Crowley, Eileen, Jo, Ellen, Bobby, etc. My favorites always die, so…

5. What is your favorite thing about Dean Winchester? Sam? Cas?

Dean: His childish sense of humor.

Sam: His empathy.

Castiel: His love and lack of understanding of humanity.

6. Favorite rarepair?

TONS OKAY! Sam/Gabriel, Sam/Castiel, Dean/Benny, Dean/Donna

7. Which character do you admire most?

That’s a pretty big question, but my instinct is to say Jody Mills. She lost her entire family to monsters, helped Bobby even when she didn’t have to, has become a safe place for the Winchesters, and on top of that, became a surrogate mom to Claire and Alex even though motherhood traumatized her more than anything. Jody’s ability to do her job, hunt monsters, and keep a steady loving household for anyone in need is something I admire greatly. She could have crashed because of what happened to her, but she just picked up her gun, and kept her heart and home open. And she’s still very realistically flawed, too. She doesn’t know how to talk about sex to the girls. Doesn’t completely know how to help with Claire when she’s rebelling. But she tries and she succeeds, and loves her found family with all her heart. Her, “Donna, I can’t lose another child,” just makes me love her so much.

8. Top 3 favorite quotes?

“Now I realize that there is no righteous path, it’s just people trying to do their best in a world where it is far too easy to do your worst.” ~ Castiel

“This sad, doomed little world; it needs you. It needs every last Winchester it can get, and I will not let you die. I won’t let any of you die. And I won’t let you sacrifice yourselves. You mean too much to me. To everything. Yeah, you made a deal. You made a stupid deal, and I broke it. You’re welcome.” ~ Castiel.

“Girls beat us up all the time.” ~ Sam

9. Ever written fanfiction? What about?

That’s kind of all I ever do. 😀 And pretty much everything from coda fics, to everyday AU’s.

10. Favorite fic?

Just one? Uh. That’s really hard. But the one I read the most is Your Heart Makes by @schmerzerling

11. Favorite season?

Probably season 5? Though 13 is really climbing up there. 😀

12. Favorite popular ship?

Destiel

13. If you could add to or change one thing that happened in the show, what would you do?

I would bring back Charlie and Eileen because they were fridged and there was no reason whatsoever for them to die.

14. You’re transported into the show and you get to be one villian, dead or alive. Who do you choose?

Lucifer or Meg.

15. Top 5 favorite episodes?

Scoobynatural, The French Mistake, Fanfiction, Changing Channels, and Just My Imagination.

16. What’s one plot twist you did NOT see coming?

I don’t want to sound snooty, but there aren’t many twists that surprised me. However, Gabriel showing up again did shock me! I actually always thought he was alive, but didn’t think he’d come back.

17. What character are you most similar to?

I’ve been told I’m quite sunny like Charlie, though @ltleflrt claims I’m Jody with a heavy dollop of Kim Rhodes herself. 😀 I’m cool with it! 

18. Have you ever cosplayed? If so, as who?

No, I haven’t. I don’t cosplay much.

19. What episode scared the crap out of you?

I actually have to think about this. I like horror and stuff, and it doesn’t really scare me. However, Red Meat made me really uncomfortable and emotional. But that’s the only one that sticks out in my head. But I also get kinda creeped out by characters in masks.

20. What character do you hate with a passion?

Dick Roman. He was a great villain for this day and age.

21. You have the power to choose how the show ends. How do you end it?

I’d really like Sam and Dean to end up semi-retiring by becoming like Bobby figures. Or making the bunker like a weigh station for hunters where they can rest, research, find help, and train. Passing the buck along, but still being in the life. I don’t think either of them could walk away entirely, but I don’t want them to die for real.

22. Favorite alternate version of a character? (i.e. Casifer, demon! dean, gadreel in sam, souless sam, ect.)

I’m partial to memory loss!Dean and Souless!Sam and Casifer.

23. Who is one character you love that other people have mixed feelings about/ don’t really care much about?

I cultivate my dash a lot, so I’m not actually sure. Maybe Cain? Rufus?

24. Funniest episode?

Changing Channels and Scoobynatural.

25. Episode that left you emotionally dead inside?

Death’s Door. I cry every time watching Bobby die.

prime numbers!

You people do realize I was an English major, right?

2. On a scale of 1-5, how afraid of the dark are you?

That depends entirely on where I am. At home, a 1. Outside, a 5.

5. If you were a type of tree, what would you be?

Cherry, or Japanese maple.

7. What shirt are you wearing?

My director’s shirt from Anime Weekend Atlanta.

11. Favorite age you’ve been so far?

23. It was the age I moved to Japan. 😀

13. Your worst enemy?

For now, my bad health.

17. You can press a button that will make any one person explode. Who would you blow up?

No one, really. That’s super messy!

19. If anyone could be your slave for a day, who would it be and what would they have to do?

We used to do this shit as kids, and my little brother was best because he’d clean my room. XD

23. What is one unique thing you’re afraid of?

Drains of any and all kinds.

29. What is your favorite expletive?

I like the classics. I go for “fuck!” and “sonofabitch!” most often.

31. You can erase any horrible experience from your past. What will it be?

There are a few, but probably having cancer.

37. Have you ever built a snowman?

Of course! It rarely snows enough down here, but when I lived in Alabama, we had a week of good snow and I built a snowman army.

41. What is your favorite milkshake flavor?

I’m lactose intolerant, but cookies and cream if I could!

43. Do you have any scars?

Lots and lots! Some from surgery, and a few memorable ones when I thought I could ride a skateboard.

47. If you could ask your future self one question, what would it be?

“Are you content?”

53. What has been you worst haircut/style?

I had a bowl cut in the early 90′s. It was awful.

61. Do you often read your horoscope?

Hahahaha, no never. It always makes me too hopeful!

All numbers divisible by three. (Also, dinner tonight?)

(I already have plans tonight D: But let’s meet up soon, okay?! I miss you!)

3. The person you would never want to meet?

My birth parents. I feel like it would really fuck me up.

6. When you looked in the mirror this morning what was the first thing you thought?

“Gosh, my hair’s a freaking mess!”

9. Bright room or dark room?

Dark. I have chronic migraines, so I prefer the dark.

12. Who told you they loved you last?

One of my coworkers. 😀

15. Do you like someone?

I like lots of people! But if we’re talking romantically, yes. There’s a couple people.

18. Who would you really like to just punch in the face?

Most male senators trying to make laws to hurt LGBTQ+ people, and hurt women’s bodies and their right to choose.

21. If you were the opposite sex for one day, what would you look like and what would you do?

When I was a kid, I looked like Eddie Furlong, so I’d probably look like him. Honestly, I’d probably go downtown and walk around like I usually do to see how little I’d get catcalled. I’d be interested to see.

24. You can only have one kind of sandwich. Every sandwich ingredient known to humankind is at your disposal.

Hard salami, sharp cheddar, lettuce, tomato, deli mustard, mayo, and maybe an avocado on french bread.

27. An angel appears out of Heaven and offers you a lifetime supply of the alcoholic beverage of your choice. “Be brand-specific” it says. Man! What are you gonna say about that? Even if you don’t drink booze there’s something you can figure out… so what’s it gonna be?

I don’t remember the brand, but there was a jasmine shochu I drank at a bar in Japan that I could drink forever.

30. Your house is on fire, holy shit! You have just enough time to run in there and grab ONE inanimate object. Don’t worry, your loved ones and pets have already made it out safely. So what’s the one thing you’re going to save from that blazing inferno?

My baby blanket. It’s a thing.

33. The Celestial Gates Of Beyond have opened, much to your surprise because you didn’t think such a thing existed. Death appears. As it turns out, Death is actually a pretty cool entity, and happens to be in a fantastic mood. Death offers to return the friend/family-member/person/etc. of your choice to the living world. Who will you bring back?

My dad.

36. Have you ever been admitted to the hospital?

Yes, several times for several reasons. Illness, surgery, mental issues, all kinds of stuff! 

39. What type of music do you like?

All kinds. Literally. There isn’t a genre I don’t have at least one or two artists I love in.

42. What football team do you support?

The Atlanta Falcons, and GA Tech.

45. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

Mental illness. I’ve been suffering from OCD, anxiety, and depression since I was a child, but I often feel like my whole life would be so much less exhausting even on good days without it.

48. Do you hold grudges?

Not at all. I’m too tired for that. 😀

51. Are you a good liar?

I’m an excellent liar, though I rarely do it. I don’t see the point or the need.

54. Have you ever baked your own cake?

Yes, all the time!

57. What is the last thing you drew a picture of?

I do. not. draw. At all. Though, I drew some clouds on a picture collaboration with my daughter.

60. Do you believe in aliens?

Absolutely! The universe is far too vast to think we’re the only ones out there.

63. Which is cooler: dinosaurs or dragons?

That’s actually a tough question! Though I think I’d have to say dragons because they didn’t exist, so they can spark the imagination much more! 😀

ASK ME AN UNUSUAL QUESTION!

1 and 59 :D

1. Do you ever doubt the existence of others than you?

This is a really interesting question, because yes, I do. Sometimes, very acutely, I’ll be standing in the empty hallway at work, or at home alone and go, “am I really the only one?” It’s always a strange feeling, but it does happen to me. Usually when I have those moments of noticing people and suddenly feeling very much how that other person has no clue what I’m thinking or feeling, that only I can.

59. Do you sing in the shower? Or do anything unusual in the shower? Explain.

I’m pretty sure you know I sing just about everywhere! 😀 I don’t really sing in the shower, though. I used to, but I know my neighbors can hear through the exhaust vent, so I’m quiet. One of my OCD rituals is that I have to touch all the little spray hole thingies on the showerhead. I also always check the drain, but that’s because of my irrational fear of drains and things that might come out of them.
