resnullius_bellsI didn't create this, I borrowed it from tumblr. But they looked interesting. First, I though I'd try one with writing prompts, because I short of got stuck on a few fics, and maybe this will nudge me into one or other direction during this week(end). I updated my sticky post with a list of ships I'd like to write about at the moment (and favorite tropes underneath). I'll warn you, I can't write happy fluff or humor to save my life; it's all angst and dark humor and horror and taboos in this house. It's all a question of whether it'll be framed as a gothic horror novel or a trashy romance one LOL.
Send me an ask with a pairing and make me choose between
-two AU verses
-two lines of dialogue
-two emotions
-two anything really
and I’ll write a drabble of ficlet about one of those things
Or if you don't want to send a prompt, here's an ask meme borrowed from @wheatear. Granted some of these I won't be able to answer, as I haven't published anything yet LOL, but it sounds fun. Under the cut because it's long.1) How old were you when you first starting writing fan fiction?

20) Are there any stories that you wished you’d ended differently?
21) Tell me about your current favourite canon, what attracted you to it? What will make you abandon it?
22) Do you have a story that you look back on and cringe when you reread it?

Date: 2020-01-31 12:31 pm (UTC)I guess my current canon would be Legacies? I have tons of WIPs dedicated to it and it's the one show I follow at the moment (and I do it week by week, despite hating that LOL). I looked it up because I wanted something light-hearted and teenage-y LOL, and it delivered that and a lot of feels as an extra.
I would leave it if it killed any of the twins, but luckily that's not very likely. Maybe if I felt they'd wronged them without repair.
25) Have you ever cried whilst writing a story?
No. I don't get emotional when I write, it's just not my headspace at that moment? I picture the scenes and try to see how they follow, see what words work best, etc.
39) Do you prefer first, second or third person?
Third person all the way. I guess I could write second person, but when I've tried reading it it felt weird? Like the writer was telling me how I felt or ordering me around LOL. So I don't have any desire to write it myself.
48) What’s your favourite trope to write?
Probably any type of concealed identities. Identity porn in superhero lore, crossdressing a la Mulan or Twelfth Night, etc. Abduction as seduction is another big one; I just love exploring the abductee's feelings and conflict on the matter.
